+"Hello, my snowflakes! You look very cold. Come in, come in. I have something for you." Mom says.
+
+She gives them each a cup of cocoa and a cookie. They sip the cocoa and bite the cookie. They feel warm and happy.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. This is very good." Anna says.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Mom. You are very fair." Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs them and kisses them. She is proud of them.
+
+"Why do you say I am fair, Ben?" Mom asks.
+
+"Because you give us both the same. You don't give Anna more or me less. You are fair." Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles and nods. She is glad they know how to share and be kind.
+
+"That's right, Ben. I love you both the same. And you are both fair, too. You play well together and help each other. You are good twins." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and hug Mom. They love her very much. They finish their cocoa and cookie and ask Mom if they can play some more.
+
+"Of course, you can. But first, put on your coats and gloves and hats. And be careful, don't slip on the ice." Mom says.
+
+They put on their clothes and run outside. They play some more in the snow. They are happy and fair.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They also liked to play with their hoops. They could roll them, spin them, and catch them.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards them. Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their hoops and ran to the bench. They hugged each other and trembled.
+
+"Go away, dog! Go away!" Ben shouted.
+
+The dog did not listen. It picked up one of the hoops in its mouth and shook it. It made a loud noise. It dropped the hoop and picked up the other one. It did the same thing.
+
+"Stop it, dog! Stop it!" Lily cried.
+
+The dog did not stop. It looked at Ben and Lily and growled. It came closer to the bench. Ben and Lily were very scared. They closed their eyes and hoped the dog would go away.
+
+Then, they heard a whistle. It was the dog's owner. He came to the park and saw the dog. He called the dog's name.
+
+"Rex! Rex! Come here, boy!"
+
+The dog heard the whistle and the voice. It dropped the hoop and ran to the owner. The owner put a leash on the dog and said sorry to Ben and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. Rex is a friendly dog, but he likes to play with hoops. He thinks they are toys. He didn't mean to scare you."
+
+Ben and Lily opened their eyes and saw the owner and the dog. They were still scared, but they felt a little better.
+
+"It's okay, mister. We like to play with hoops, too. But they are not toys for dogs. They are toys for kids."
+
+The owner smiled and nodded.
+
+"You're right, kids. Hoops are toys for kids. Here, take your hoops back. They are smooth and shiny. I hope they are not broken."
+
+The owner gave the hoops back to Ben and Lily. They took them and thanked the owner. They looked at their hoops. They were not broken, but they had teeth marks and scratches.
+
+"That's okay," Ben said. "We can still play with them."
+
+"Yeah," Lily said. "But not near the dog."
+
+They laughed and hugged each other. They were not scared anymore. They went back to playing with their hoops. They rolled them, spun them, and caught them. They had fun in the park.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they go for a walk on the road. They see a big truck. The truck is loud and fast. Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the road.
+
+They find a park. The park has swings and slides. Tom and Mia are happy. They play and joke on the swings and slides. They forget about the truck. They have fun.
+
+But then, it is time to go home. Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to leave the park. They want to play and joke more. They hug and say goodbye. They promise to see each other again. They walk on the road. They are careful of the trucks. They smile and wave. They are still friends.
+Lily was sad. She had a big cut on her knee. It hurt a lot. She cried and cried.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help me!" she shouted.
+
+Mommy came and hugged her. She took a cup of water and a cloth. She cleaned the cut gently.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. It will heal soon. You are very brave," Mommy said.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She felt better.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy. How did I get the cut?" she asked.
+
+Mommy sighed. She looked at the broken vase on the floor.
+
+"You were foolish, Lily. You tried to climb on the table and grab the vase. But it was too heavy and it fell. You should not do that. It is dangerous," Mommy said.
+
+Lily looked down. She felt sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to see the flowers. They were so pretty," she said.
+
+Mommy smiled. She kissed her forehead.
+
+"I know, Lily. But you have to be careful. The flowers are not worth hurting yourself. Next time, ask me and I will show you. Okay?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged Mommy.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. I love you," she said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. Now, let's put a band-aid on your cut and have some cookies. How does that sound?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked cookies. She followed Mommy to the kitchen. She hoped her cut would heal fast. She did not want to be foolish again.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boat. They put the boat in the tub and made it sail. They pretended they were pirates and looked for treasure.
+
+One day, they found a shiny crown in the sand. It was gold and had red and blue stones. They wondered who it belonged to. Maybe it was a king's crown or a queen's crown.
+
+They decided to take the crown to their mom and ask her. They thought she would know. They dried the boat and put it in their bag. They ran to their mom and showed her the crown.
+
+Mom was surprised and happy. She hugged Ben and Lily and said they were very smart. She told them the crown was a gift from their dad. He was away on a ship and he sent them the crown to make them smile.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and thanked their mom. They put the crown on their boat and made it sail again. They felt like royalty and had fun. They loved their dad and their mom and their boat.
+Tom is a cat. He likes to chase rats. He thinks he is powerful and fast. One day, he sees a big rat in the garden. He runs after it and says, "I will get you, rat! You are my lunch!"
+
+But the rat is smart and brave. He does not run away. He turns around and says, "You will not get me, cat! You are not powerful. You are silly and fat!"
+
+Tom is angry and surprised. He tries to catch the rat, but the rat is too quick and clever. He dodges and bites Tom's tail. Tom yelps and jumps. He feels pain and fear.
+
+The rat laughs and says, "You see, cat? You are not powerful. You are weak and scared. Go away and leave me alone!"
+
+Tom is ashamed and sad. He runs away and hides under the sofa. He thinks, "Maybe the rat is right. Maybe I am not powerful. Maybe I am silly and fat." He wishes he had a friend to play with. He does not like rats anymore.
+Sam liked to chew gum. He chewed gum all the time. He chewed gum when he woke up, when he ate, when he played, and when he went to bed. He liked to blow big bubbles with his gum. He thought it was fun.
+
+One day, Sam went to the park with his mom. He saw a big swing. He wanted to swing on it. He ran to the swing and climbed on. He still had gum in his mouth. He started to swing back and forth. He felt happy.
+
+But Sam was clumsy. He did not hold on to the swing well. He swung too high and too fast. He lost his balance and fell off the swing. He landed on the ground with a thud. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried.
+
+He also felt something sticky on his face. He touched his face and pulled out his gum. His gum had popped out of his mouth when he fell. His gum had stuck to his hair and his nose and his cheek. He looked funny. He cried more.
+
+His mom ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Oh, Sam, are you okay? You had a bad fall. Let me help you." She took him to the bench and cleaned his wounds. She also tried to get the gum out of his hair and his face. She said, "Sam, you should not chew gum when you swing. It is not safe. It can make you fall and get hurt. And it can make a mess. Next time, spit out your gum before you swing, okay?"
+
+Sam nodded. He felt sorry. He said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I won't chew gum when I swing. I learned my lesson." He gave his mom a kiss. He said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for helping me."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Sam. You're welcome. Now, do you want to try the slide?"
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big dog with colorful fur. The dog has red, blue, and yellow spots on its fur. Lila and Tom like the dog. They want to pet the dog.
+
+They run to the dog and say, "Hello, dog! You are so colorful! Can we pet you?" The dog wags its tail and licks their faces. Lila and Tom giggle and pet the dog's fur. They think the dog is friendly and soft.
+
+But then, a mean boy comes to the park. He does not like the dog. He thinks the dog is ugly and silly. He wants to make the dog angry. He throws a stick at the dog and yells, "Go away, you stupid dog! You look like a clown!"
+
+The dog barks and growls. It does not like the mean boy. It wants to protect Lila and Tom. It runs to the mean boy and bites his leg. The mean boy screams and cries. He drops the stick and runs away.
+
+Lila and Tom hug the dog and say, "Thank you, dog! You are brave and good! We love you!" The dog wags its tail and licks their faces again. They think the dog is the best dog in the world. They play with the dog until it is time to go home.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Let's go up there!" Tim said. "Maybe we can see the sun shine."
+
+"OK!" Mia said. "But be careful. The tree is very high."
+
+They climbed the tree, one branch after another. They felt happy and brave. They reached the top of the tree and looked around. They saw the birds and the clouds and the sun. The sun was bright and warm. It made them smile.
+
+"Wow! This is so pretty!" Mia said. "I like the sun. It makes me feel good."
+
+"Me too!" Tim said. "But I'm also hungry. Do you have any snacks?"
+
+Mia shook her head. "No, I don't. I left them at home. Do you have any?"
+
+Tim shook his head too. "No, I don't. I forgot them. What can we do?"
+
+They looked down. They saw the ground far away. They saw their parents sitting on a bench. They saw other kids playing. They wanted to go down and join them. But they had a problem. They did not know how to climb down.
+
+They tried to find a way. But the branches were slippery and thin. They could not hold them well. They felt scared and stuck. They started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tim shouted. "We can't get down!"
+
+"Help! Help!" Mia shouted too. "We're hungry and scared!"
+
+Their parents heard them. They looked up. They saw them on the tree. They felt worried and angry. They ran to the tree. They tried to help them.
+
+But it was too late. The branch that Tim and Mia were sitting on broke. It snapped like a twig. It made a loud noise. Tim and Mia fell down. They hit the ground hard. They did not get up. They did not move. They did not breathe.
+
+They had a big knot on their heads. They had blood on their faces. They had pain in their bodies. They had no life in their eyes.
+
+They were dead.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Ben has a big truck. Mia has a soft doll. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Ben sees a new toy in the shop. It is a thick book with many pictures and words. Ben likes the book. He asks his mom to buy it for him. His mom says yes and gives him the book.
+
+Ben is happy. He wants to show his book to Mia. He runs to her house and knocks on the door. Mia opens the door and sees the book.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Mia asks.
+
+"It is a book. A thick book. It has many pictures and words. Do you want to see?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I hold it?" Mia says.
+
+Ben gives the book to Mia. Mia holds the book and looks at the pictures. She likes the book too.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. This is a nice book. What is it about?" Mia says.
+
+"It is about True. True is a dog. He has many adventures. He is brave and smart. Do you want to read with me?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, I do. I like True. He sounds like a good dog. Can we sit on the couch and read?" Mia says.
+
+Ben nods. They go to the couch and sit together. They open the book and read about True. They laugh and learn. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and shells and seaweed. But they did not see any jellyfish.
+
+One day, they found a big jellyfish on the sand. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles. Lily wanted to touch it, but Ben said no. He said jellyfish can hurt you. Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand and touched the jellyfish.
+
+Ouch! The jellyfish stung Lily's hand. It hurt a lot. Lily cried and cried. She ran to Mom and Dad. They saw her hand was red and swollen. They said they had to go to the doctor. They wrapped Lily's hand in a cloth and put some ice on it.
+
+On the way to the doctor, Lily was very sad. She said she was sorry for touching the jellyfish. She said she was silly and did not listen to Ben. Ben said it was okay. He said he was sorry for the jellyfish. He said he wished he could tear it apart and throw it away. He said he loved Lily and wanted her to be fit again.
+
+Mom and Dad said they loved Lily and Ben too. They said the doctor would make Lily's hand better. They said jellyfish are not bad, they are just different. They said they have to be careful and respect all the animals in the water. They said they would still have fun at the beach, but they would look for jellyfish before they played. They said they were proud of Lily and Ben for being brave and kind.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with paper and glue. They make animals and flowers and stars. They have fun.
+
+One day, Lily has a new idea. She says to Tom, "Let's make a big house with paper and glue. We can put windows and doors and a roof. It will be our house."
+
+Tom likes the idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that. We are smart. We can make a big house."
+
+They start to work. They cut paper and fold it. They put glue on the edges and stick them together. They make walls and a floor. They make windows and doors and a roof. They make a chimney and a garden. They work hard.
+
+When they finish, they look at their house. It is big and colorful. They are happy. They say, "Wow, we made a big house with paper and glue. It is our house. We are smart."
+
+They go inside their house. They pretend to cook and eat and sleep. They have fun. They love their house. They love paper and glue. They love each other.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with green fruits on it. They wanted to try them, so they climbed the tree and picked some fruits. They were avocados.
+
+"Look, I have three avocados!" Tom said. "They are big and smooth."
+
+"I have two avocados!" Lily said. "They are impressive and heavy."
+
+They climbed down the tree and sat on a bench. They tried to open the avocados, but they were hard and had big seeds inside.
+
+"How do we eat them?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe we can smash them with a rock."
+
+They found a rock and started to hit the avocados with it. They made a lot of noise and mess. The avocados became soft and brown.
+
+"Yuck, they look gross!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's taste them anyway," Lily said. "Maybe they are yummy."
+
+They took a bite of the avocados, but they did not like them. They were bitter and mushy. They spit them out and made faces.
+
+"Blech, they are awful!" Tom said.
+
+"They are the worst fruits ever!" Lily said.
+
+They threw the avocados away and ran to the water fountain. They drank some water and tried to wash their mouths.
+
+But they did not see the angry man who owned the tree. He saw them ruining his avocados and making a mess. He was very mad. He ran after them and shouted.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Stop right there! You ruined my avocados! They are not for you! They are for my guacamole! You owe me money!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They tried to run away, but the man was faster. He caught them and grabbed them by their arms. He dragged them to his house and locked them in his basement. He said he would not let them go until they paid him for his avocados.
+
+Tom and Lily cried and wished they had never seen the avocados. They wished they had listened to their parents who told them not to touch things that did not belong to them. They wished they could prevent this from happening. But it was too late. They were stuck in the basement with no way out. They were very sorry.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play at the beach. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They want to make a sand castle.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a shell!" Anna says. She holds up a shiny pink shell. "It is pretty. I want to put it on our castle."
+
+Ben nods. He digs a hole in the sand. He fills the bucket with sand. He turns the bucket over. He makes a tower.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Anna says. She puts the shell on top of the tower. "Now we need more towers. And a wall. And a door."
+
+Ben agrees. He digs another hole. He fills the bucket again. He turns the bucket over. He makes another tower.
+
+Anna looks around. She sees a big wave. It is coming to the shore. It is fast and loud.
+
+"Ben, Ben, hurry!" Anna says. She is scared. She does not want the wave to break their castle. "We have to move our castle. The wave is coming!"
+
+Ben looks up. He sees the wave too. He is not scared. He likes the wave. He thinks it is fun.
+
+"No, Anna, no!" Ben says. He is stubborn. He does not want to move their castle. "Our castle is fine. The wave is not big. It will not hurt our castle. I insist!"
+
+Anna is impatient. She does not want to argue with Ben. She wants to save their castle. She grabs the bucket. She tries to lift it. It is heavy. She cannot lift it.
+
+"Ben, please, help me!" Anna says. She is sad. She sees the wave getting closer. "We have to move our castle. Please, Ben, please!"
+
+Ben sighs. He loves his sister. He does not want to make her sad. He grabs the shovel. He helps Anna. They lift the bucket together. They move it away from the shore. They put it down.
+
+They look at their castle. It is not perfect. It is a bit crooked. But it is still there. They smile.
+
+The wave reaches the shore. It splashes on the sand. It makes a noise. It does not touch their castle.
+
+Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They have saved their castle. They have worked together.
+
+They hear their mom calling. It is time to go home. They wave to their mom. They pick up their bucket and shovel. They leave their castle.
+
+They hope their castle will be there tomorrow. They hope to play at the beach again. They love the beach. They love each other.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to splash in the water.
+
+They run to the pond and take off their shoes and socks. They hold hands and jump in. The water is cold and wet. They laugh and splash each other. They see a big knot of rope on the ground. They think it is a toy.
+
+They pick up the rope and swing it around. They try to throw it to the ducks. But the rope is too heavy and long. It wraps around their legs and arms. They get stuck in the knot. They can't move or get out.
+
+They start to cry and shout for help. But no one hears them. The water gets deeper and deeper. They can't breathe. They go under the water. They don't come up again.
+
+The ducks and fish swim away. The rope stays in the pond. Lily and Ben are gone. They were not good. They were naughty. They did not listen to their mom. She told them to stay away from the pond. She was sad and angry. She lost her twins. The end.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toy boats. They would sail them in the bathtub, in the pond, and in the pool. They had many boats of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red boat that their dad had made for them.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom and brought their big red boat. They saw a small stream that flowed under a bridge. They thought it would be fun to sail their boat there. They put their boat in the water and watched it go under the bridge and come out on the other side.
+
+"Wow, our boat is so fast and strong!" Lila said.
+
+"Yes, it is the best boat ever!" Ben agreed.
+
+They saw another boy who was also playing with a toy boat. His boat was smaller and green, and it looked old and worn. He was trying to sail it in the stream, but it kept getting stuck on the rocks and the weeds.
+
+"Look at that silly boat!" Lila laughed. "It is so slow and weak!"
+
+"Yeah, it is the worst boat ever!" Ben echoed.
+
+They ran to the bridge and shouted at the boy.
+
+"Hey, your boat is no good! You should get a new one like ours!"
+
+The boy looked sad and said, "I can't. This is the only boat I have. My grandpa gave it to me before he died. He said it was his favorite toy when he was a kid. He said it was a humble boat, but it had a big heart."
+
+Lila and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they had been mean and rude to the boy. They remembered that their mom had taught them to be kind and respectful to others, and to be grateful for what they had.
+
+They ran to the boy and said, "We are sorry. We didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Your boat is very special and beautiful. Can we play with you?"
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Sure. Thank you. You are very nice. Can I see your boat?"
+
+They showed him their big red boat and let him hold it. They told him how their dad had made it for them. They said it was a fast and strong boat, but it also had a big heart.
+
+They played together for a long time, sailing their boats in the stream and making friends. They learned that it didn't matter how big or small, how new or old, how fast or slow their boats were. What mattered was how they treated each other and how they enjoyed their toys.
+
+They also learned that broccoli was good for them and ate it for dinner without complaining. The end.
+Ben likes to play in the dirt. He digs with his hands and finds many things. He finds rocks, sticks, leaves and bugs. He likes to look at them and touch them.
+
+One day, he finds a long, thin thing that moves. It is a worm. Ben thinks it is funny and cool. He wants to grab it and show it to his mom. He reaches out his hand and tries to grab the worm.
+
+But the worm is slippery and fast. It wriggles away from Ben's hand. Ben tries again and again, but he cannot grab the worm. He gets frustrated and sad. He wants the worm to be his friend.
+
+He sees another worm nearby. It is pale and still. It does not move. Ben thinks it is sick or asleep. He grabs it easily and holds it in his hand. He feels happy and proud. He runs to his mom and shows her the worm.
+
+But his mom does not look happy. She looks scared and grossed out. She tells Ben to drop the worm and wash his hands. She says it is not a worm, but a snake. A pale snake that can bite and hurt. Ben is shocked and scared. He drops the snake and runs to his mom. He hugs her and says he is sorry. He does not want to play with worms or snakes anymore. He wants to play with his toys and his mom.
+Mia and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. Mia liked the pandas best. They were black and white and fluffy. They ate bamboo and rolled on the grass.
+
+"Look, Ben, that panda is whistling!" Mia said, pointing to a panda that made a funny sound with its mouth.
+
+"No, it's not. Pandas can't whistle. You're silly, Mia." Ben said, laughing.
+
+"Yes, it is. I heard it. You're mean, Ben." Mia said, frowning.
+
+They started to argue. Mom and Dad heard them and came over.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"Mia says that panda is whistling, but it's not. She's lying." Ben said.
+
+"No, I'm not. I heard it. Ben is teasing me." Mia said.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at the panda. It made the sound again.
+
+"That's not whistling, Mia. That's how pandas communicate. They make different sounds to talk to each other." Dad explained.
+
+"Really? What is it saying?" Mia asked, curious.
+
+"Well, I don't know for sure, but maybe it's saying it's hungry, or it wants to play, or it's happy." Dad said.
+
+"Wow, that's cool. I wish I could talk to pandas." Mia said.
+
+"Me too. I'm sorry I laughed at you, Mia. You're not silly, you're smart." Ben said.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I called you mean. You're not mean, you're nice." Mia said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. Mom and Dad were happy to see them get along.
+
+"Come on, kids. Let's go see the other animals. Maybe we can hear them talk too." Mom said.
+
+They followed Mom and Dad to the next exhibit. They had a fun day at the zoo. They learned a lot about animals and how they live. They also learned to listen to each other and be kind.
+Tom and Mia love to play with their rocket toy. They pretend they are astronauts and travel to different planets. They make noises like "whoosh" and "beep" and wear helmets made of cardboard.
+
+One day, they decide to go to the moon. They put their rocket on the sofa and climb inside. Tom says, "Ready for take-off, Mia?"
+
+Mia nods and says, "Ready, Tom. Let's go!"
+
+They count down from ten and then push a button. The rocket makes a loud sound and shakes. They imagine they are flying high in the sky, past the clouds and the stars.
+
+Soon, they see the moon. It is big and white and has many holes. They land their rocket on a flat spot and get out. They jump and bounce on the moon. It is fun, but also cold and harsh. They feel the wind and the dust on their faces.
+
+They see a flag and a footprint. Tom says, "Look, Mia. Someone was here before us."
+
+Mia says, "Wow, Tom. Maybe it was another astronaut. Do you think they are still here?"
+
+They look around, but they don't see anyone. They hear a voice from their rocket. It is their mom. She says, "Tom, Mia, time for lunch. Come back to Earth, please."
+
+They say, "Okay, mom. We are coming."
+
+They get back in their rocket and push another button. The rocket makes another loud sound and lifts off. They wave goodbye to the moon and fly back to their sofa.
+
+They hug their mom and tell her about their adventure. She smiles and says, "You are very brave and creative, Tom and Mia. I'm proud of you."
+
+They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you."
+
+They eat their lunch and then play with their rocket again. They wonder where they will travel next.
+Sara likes to play with her sack. She puts many things in it and carries it around. She has a ball, a doll, a book and a hat in her sack. She likes to show them to her friends.
+
+One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big tree with green fruits. Mom says they are avocados. Sara wants to try one. She asks mom if she can have one.
+
+"Sure, you can have one. But be careful, they are hard to open. You need a knife and a spoon," mom says.
+
+Sara picks a light green avocado from the tree. She puts it in her sack. She is happy. She runs to the bench where mom is sitting. She wants to open the avocado and eat it.
+
+She takes out the knife and the spoon from mom's bag. She tries to cut the avocado. But it is too hard. She can't cut it. She pushes harder. The knife slips. She cuts her finger. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Sara says.
+
+Mom hears her cry. She runs to her. She sees the blood on her finger. She takes a tissue and wraps it around her finger. She hugs her and kisses her.
+
+"Shh, shh, shh. It's okay, Sara. It's just a small cut. It will heal soon. You are brave," mom says.
+
+Sara stops crying. She looks at her finger. She sees the tissue. She feels better. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, mom. I love you," Sara says.
+
+"I love you too, Sara. Next time, let me help you with the avocado, okay?" mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom. Can I still eat it?" Sara says.
+
+"Of course, you can. Let's go home and make some guacamole. Do you know what that is?" mom says.
+
+"No, what is it?" Sara says.
+
+"It's a yummy dip made with avocados, tomatoes, onions and lime. You can eat it with chips or bread. Do you want to try it?" mom says.
+
+"Yes, I do. That sounds good. Let's go home, mom," Sara says.
+
+They pack their things and leave the park. Sara holds mom's hand. She still has the avocado in her sack. She is excited to try the guacamole. She thinks avocados are hard but tasty. She likes them.
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to draw and sing. They have many crayons and papers. They draw animals and flowers and cars. They sing songs about them.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily find a big eraser. It is pink and soft. They think it is a toy. They play with it. They throw it and catch it. They rub it on their faces. They laugh.
+
+But the eraser is not a toy. It is a magic eraser. It can erase anything. It can erase crayons and papers. It can erase animals and flowers and cars. It can erase songs.
+
+Tim and Lily do not know. They keep playing. They draw and sing. They have fun.
+
+But the eraser is bad. It does not like fun. It does not like drawing and singing. It wants to erase everything. It waits for a chance.
+
+When Tim and Lily are not looking, the eraser jumps. It lands on their papers. It erases their drawings. It erases their crayons. It erases their animals and flowers and cars.
+
+Tim and Lily turn around. They see their papers. They are blank. They see their crayons. They are gone. They see their eraser. It is smiling.
+
+Tim and Lily are sad. They cry. They want their drawings back. They want their crayons back. They want their animals and flowers and cars back. They want their songs back.
+
+But the eraser does not care. It is not sorry. It is happy. It has erased everything. It sings a bad song. It sings:
+
+I am the eraser
+I erase what I see
+I erase your drawings
+I erase your crayons
+I erase your animals
+I erase your flowers
+I erase your cars
+I erase your songs
+I erase your fun
+I erase you
+
+Tim and Lily are scared. They run away. They try to hide. But the eraser follows them. It jumps and jumps. It erases everything in its way. It erases the door. It erases the window. It erases the wall. It erases the floor. It erases the sky.
+
+Tim and Lily are gone. The eraser is alone. It has erased everything. It has nothing to play with. It has nothing to erase. It is bored. It is sad. It stops singing. It is quiet.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big log that was lying on the ground. They wanted to walk on it like a bridge.
+
+Tom went first. He put one foot on the log and then the other. He tried to balance, but he wobbled and fell off. He scraped his knee and cried.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She gave him a hug and said, "It's okay, Tom. I will help you." She took his hand and they went back to the log.
+
+This time, Lily went first. She walked slowly and carefully on the log. She did not wobble or fall off. She reached the other end and smiled.
+
+"Come on, Tom. You can do it. Just look at me and follow me," she said.
+
+Tom nodded and tried again. He held Lily's hand and looked at her. He walked slowly and carefully on the log. He did not wobble or fall off. He reached the other end and smiled.
+
+They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We are mighty!" They felt happy and proud. They played on the log some more and had fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna, who had a beautiful dress and long hair. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was a princess who lived in a big castle.
+
+One day, Lily's mom had to work at home. She had a small office in the living room, where she had a computer and some papers. She told Lily to be quiet and not to bother her while she was working.
+
+But Lily wanted to play with her mom. She took Anna and went to the office. She knocked on the door and said, "Mom, can you play with me and Anna? We want to have a tea party."
+
+Mom looked at Lily and smiled. She said, "I'm sorry, honey, but I can't play with you right now. I have to finish some important work. Can you play by yourself for a little while?"
+
+Lily did not like that answer. She felt angry and sad. She said, "No, I can't play by myself. I want you to play with me now. You always work and never play. You are a bad mom." She stamped her foot and demanded, "Play with me and Anna!"
+
+Mom felt sorry for Lily, but she also felt annoyed. She said, "Lily, that's not nice. You can't demand things like that. You have to be patient and respectful. I love you, but I also have to do my work. Why don't you go to your room and play with your other dolls? I'll come and play with you later, I promise."
+
+Lily did not listen to her mom. She threw Anna on the floor and started to cry. She said, "I don't want to play with my other dolls. I only want to play with you and Anna. You are a mean mom. You don't love me." She ran out of the office and slammed the door.
+
+Mom sighed and picked up Anna from the floor. She felt sad and tired. She wished she could play with Lily, but she also had to finish her work. She hoped Lily would calm down and understand. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, Anna. You are still a beautiful princess. And Lily is still a sweet girl. She just needs some time to learn how to share and wait." She put Anna on the desk and went back to her work.
+Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She wanted to improve her writing and make it more fun. She used stickers, colors, and drawings to decorate her journal.
+
+One day, Lily was restless. She did not want to play with her toys, or read her books, or watch TV. She wanted to do something new and exciting. She asked her mom if she could go outside and explore. Her mom said no, it was too cold and dark. She told Lily to stay inside and be quiet.
+
+Lily was bored and unhappy. She looked at her journal and had an idea. She thought she could improve her journal by adding some things from outside. She put on her coat and shoes and sneaked out of the door. She ran to the park and looked for things to pick up. She found leaves, flowers, rocks, and feathers. She also found a shiny metal thing that looked like a star. She put everything in her pockets and ran back home.
+
+She went to her room and opened her journal. She glued the things she found on the pages. She thought it looked very pretty and special. She was proud of her work. She did not hear her mom calling her name.
+
+Her mom came to her room and saw what Lily had done. She was very angry and scared. She yelled at Lily and took away her journal. She told Lily that she was very naughty and dangerous. She said that the shiny metal thing was a needle and it could hurt her or make her sick. She said that Lily could not write in her journal anymore. She said that Lily had to go to bed without dinner.
+
+Lily cried and begged her mom to forgive her. She said that she was sorry and that she only wanted to improve her journal. She said that she loved her journal and her mom. But her mom did not listen. She left Lily alone in her room, with no journal, no dinner, and no hug. Lily felt very sad and lonely. She wished she had never gone outside. She wished she had never tried to improve her journal. She wished she had been a good girl.
+Tom was a big boy who liked to play with cars and trucks. He had many toys, but his favorite was a red fire truck that made loud noises and had a long ladder. He always took it with him when he went to the park or to his grandma's house.
+
+One day, he saw a new girl in the park. She had long yellow hair and blue eyes. She was playing with a doll that had a pink dress and a hat. Tom thought she was very attractive, but he did not know how to talk to her. He wanted to be her friend, but he was shy.
+
+He decided to show her his fire truck. He thought she would like it and want to play with him. He walked over to her and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. This is my fire truck. Do you want to see it?" He held out his toy and smiled.
+
+The girl looked at him and then at his fire truck. She did not smile back. She said, "No, thank you. I don't like fire trucks. They are noisy and ugly. I like dolls. They are pretty and quiet. Go away, Tom. You are bothering me." She turned her back to him and hugged her doll.
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He did not understand why she did not like his fire truck. He thought it was the best toy in the world. He thought she was mean and rude. He did not want to be her friend anymore. He walked away, holding his fire truck. He did not know that the girl was new in town and did not have any friends. She was lonely and scared. She did not know how to be nice to Tom. She did not understand his way of playing. She wished she had a fire truck too.
+Lily was a bird who liked to mark her nest with shiny things. She found beads, rings, and coins and put them in her nest. She was proud of her nest and wanted to show it to other birds.
+
+But Max was a crow who liked to take shiny things from other birds. He saw Lily's nest and wanted to have it for himself. He waited until Lily was away and flew to her nest. He took all the shiny things and put them in his own nest. He was happy and flew away.
+
+Lily came back and saw that her nest was empty. She was sad and angry. She looked around and saw Max's nest with her shiny things. She flew to Max's nest and tried to get them back. But Max was bigger and stronger than Lily. He pecked at her and chased her away. He said, "This is my nest now. Go away!"
+
+Lily was hurt and scared. She had no nest and no shiny things. She had no place to sleep. She flew around and looked for a new nest. But it was getting dark and cold. She was tired and sleepy. She found a hole in a tree and crawled inside. She hoped it was safe.
+
+But it was not safe. It was the home of a snake. The snake was hungry and saw Lily. He bit her and swallowed her. Lily was gone. The snake was full and sleepy. He curled up and went to sleep.
+Sara loves yogurt. She eats it every day for breakfast. She likes to mix it with fruit and honey. Sometimes she shares it with her little brother Ben.
+
+One morning, Sara saw a big tub of yogurt in the fridge. She wanted to eat it all by herself. She was very hungry. She took the tub and tried to carry it to her room. But the tub was too heavy for her. She dropped it on the floor. The yogurt spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara cried. "What a mess!"
+
+Ben heard Sara's cry. He ran to see what happened. He was very nosy. He liked to know everything. He saw the yogurt on the floor. He smiled. He loved yogurt too. He dipped his finger in it and licked it.
+
+"Mmm, yummy!" Ben said. "Can I have some?"
+
+"No!" Sara shouted. "It's mine! Go away!"
+
+But Ben did not go away. He wanted more yogurt. He grabbed the tub and pulled it. Sara pulled it too. They fought over the yogurt. They made more mess.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She was very angry. She saw Sara and Ben and the yogurt. She scolded them.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting? Why are you wasting food? You are very naughty!"
+
+She took the tub from them and threw it in the trash. She made them clean the floor. She gave them no yogurt for breakfast. She gave them bread and water instead.
+
+Sara and Ben were very sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to share their yogurt next time. They hugged and said sorry to Mom. Mom forgave them and hugged them too. She gave them a kiss and a smile. She loved them very much.
+Tom and Lily were at the park with their mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart of ice cream. They ran to the vendor and asked for ice cream.
+
+"Please, mom, can we have ice cream?" they said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Okay, but only one each. And be careful, it is very cold and sticky."
+
+The vendor gave Tom and Lily their ice cream cones. Tom chose chocolate and Lily chose strawberry. They thanked the vendor and licked their ice cream.
+
+But the vendor was careless. He did not put the lid on his cart. A big wind came and blew the lid away. The wind also blew the ice cream out of the cart. The ice cream flew in the air and landed on the vendor, on the grass, on the trees, and on some people.
+
+Tom and Lily saw the ice cream flying and laughed. They thought it was funny. But the vendor was not happy. He was angry and sad. He had no more ice cream to sell.
+
+"Look what you did!" he shouted at the wind. "You ruined my ice cream!"
+
+Mom heard the vendor and felt sorry for him. She said to Tom and Lily, "Let's go and help the vendor. He needs our help."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and followed mom. They helped the vendor pick up the ice cream and the lid. They said sorry to the people who got ice cream on them. They gave the vendor some money to buy more ice cream.
+
+The vendor thanked them and smiled. He said, "You are very kind and helpful. Here, take another ice cream cone. It is on me."
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They chose another ice cream cone. They said thank you to the vendor and hugged him. They learned to be careful with ice cream and to help others in need.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toy boat. They have a big tub of water in the backyard. They put the boat in the water and make it sail. They pretend they are pirates and look for treasure.
+
+One day, they see a big spider on the boat. It is black and hairy and has many legs. Tom and Mia are scared of the spider. They think it is dangerous. They want to make it go away.
+
+Tom has an idea. He finds a plastic bottle and fills it with water. He squeezes the bottle hard and sprays water at the spider. The spider gets wet and angry. It jumps off the boat and runs away.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They have saved their boat from the spider. They hug each other and laugh. They continue to play with their boat and have fun. They are brave pirates and have a great adventure.
+Ben and Mia are friends who like to play with their toys. One day, Ben brings a new toy to Mia's house. It is a big red vehicle that can make loud noises and move fast.
+
+"Look, Mia, this is my new vehicle. It is a fire truck. It can help people when there is a fire. Do you want to play with it?" Ben says.
+
+Mia looks at the fire truck and smiles. She likes the bright color and the shiny wheels. She nods and says, "Yes, I want to play with it. It looks fun. Can I introduce you to my toy?"
+
+Mia runs to her room and comes back with a small yellow vehicle. It has wings and a propeller. It can fly in the air and make soft noises.
+
+"This is my toy. It is a plane. It can take people to faraway places. It is my favorite. Do you want to see how it flies?" Mia says.
+
+Ben looks at the plane and nods. He likes the wings and the propeller. He says, "Yes, I want to see how it flies. It looks cool. Can we play together?"
+
+Ben and Mia decide to play together. They pretend that the fire truck and the plane are friends who go on adventures. They make noises and stories with their toys. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud knock on the door. It is Mia's mom. She has a serious face and says, "Mia, Ben, it is time to stop playing. You have to clean up your toys and get ready for dinner. Come on, hurry up."
+
+Mia and Ben look at each other and sigh. They do not want to stop playing. They like their toys and their stories. But they know they have to listen to Mia's mom. They say, "Okay, mom. We will clean up."
+
+They put their toys back in their boxes and say goodbye to each other. They hug and say, "Thank you for playing with me. Your toy is awesome. Let's play again soon."
+
+They smile and wave as Ben leaves with his mom. They are happy that they have each other as friends. They look forward to playing with their toys again.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but he always wanted more. He did not like to share his toys with his friends or his sister. He was not happy.
+
+One day, it was his birthday. He was very excited. He hoped to receive many new toys. He opened his presents one by one. He received a car, a ball, a book, a hat, and a bulb. He liked the car, the ball, the book, and the hat. But he did not like the bulb. He thought it was a silly present. He threw it away.
+
+His mom saw him throw away the bulb. She was sad. She said, "Tom, do you know what this bulb is? It is a special bulb. It can grow into a beautiful flower. You just need to plant it in the soil, water it, and give it some sun. It is a gift from your grandma. She loves you very much. She wanted to give you something that can make you happy and teach you something."
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He did not know that the bulb was a special bulb. He did not know that his grandma loved him so much. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, grandma. I was not nice. I did not appreciate the bulb. Can I have it back?"
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can have it back. But you have to take good care of it. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. It needs your love and attention. It may take some time, but it will grow and bloom. And when it does, you will see how beautiful it is. And you will feel happy and proud."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I will, mom. I will, grandma. Thank you for the bulb. It is not a silly present. It is a wonderful present. I love you both."
+
+He took the bulb from the trash. He felt that it was heavy. But it was not a heavy burden. It was a heavy blessing. He planted it in a pot. He watered it. He gave it some sun. He waited patiently. And one day, he saw a green sprout. And then, a colorful flower. He was amazed. He was happy. He learned to be grateful and caring. He learned to love the bulb. And the bulb loved him back.
+Anna liked to swim in the sea with her dad. They wore masks and fins to see the fish and the reef. The reef was a big rock under the water with many colors and shapes. Anna saw yellow, blue, pink and green fish. She also saw a star, a turtle and a crab.
+
+Anna and her dad had a tube in their mouths. The tube was connected to a tank on their backs. The tank had air inside. The tube gave them air to breathe under the water. The tube and the tank were their supply of air.
+
+One day, Anna and her dad saw a big fish with a pointy nose and a fin on its back. It was a shark. The shark was not friendly. It swam fast and made loud noises. It wanted to eat the fish and the reef. Anna and her dad were scared. They did not want to be eaten by the shark.
+
+Anna and her dad swam away from the shark. They looked for a safe place to hide. They found a hole in the reef. They went inside the hole. The hole was dark and quiet. They waited for the shark to go away.
+
+After a while, they heard no more loud noises. They looked outside the hole. The shark was gone. They saw the fish and the reef again. They were happy and relieved. They smiled at each other. They swam back to the boat. They took off their masks, fins, tubes and tanks. They hugged and thanked each other. They had a fun and exciting adventure. They loved the sea and the reef.
+Tom and Lily are friends who like to play together. One day, they see a big van on the street. The van has many colors and pictures on it. Tom and Lily think the van is fun and want to look inside.
+
+They run to the van and open the door. But when they get in, they hear a loud noise. The van starts to move! Tom and Lily are scared and cry for help. They do not know how to stop the van.
+
+A man sees the van and runs after it. He is the owner of the van. He is angry and worried. He catches up with the van and jumps in. He stops the van and turns to Tom and Lily.
+
+"What are you doing in my van?" he asks. "You could have been hurt or caused an accident. You should not go into other people's things without asking."
+
+Tom and Lily are sorry and ashamed. They say sorry to the man and promise to never do it again. The man is kind and forgives them. He tells them that his van is a puzzle van. He travels around and helps people solve puzzles and have fun. He shows them some of the puzzles in his van and lets them try.
+
+Tom and Lily enjoy the puzzles and learn something new. They thank the man and say goodbye. They go back to their parents and tell them what happened. Their parents are glad that they are safe and that they learned a lesson. They hug them and tell them to always be careful and respectful. Tom and Lily agree and remember the puzzle van and the man who helped them.
+Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They wanted to make a big picture of a house with windows and a door. They cut out shapes and colors from the paper. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But they needed glue to attach the pieces together. They looked around the room, but they could not find any glue. They asked their mom, but she said she had no glue. They asked their dad, but he said he had no glue. They were sad.
+
+Then they saw a bottle on the shelf. It looked like glue. It had a white cap and a red label. They could not read the label, but they thought it was glue. They took the bottle and opened the cap. They squeezed the bottle and a sticky liquid came out. They were happy.
+
+They started to attach the paper pieces with the liquid. They made the walls, the roof, the windows and the door. They were proud of their picture. They wanted to show it to their mom and dad.
+
+But then they noticed something was wrong. The liquid was not glue. It was honey. It was sweet and sticky and messy. It dripped from the paper and the scissors and their hands. It made everything sticky. They were fearful.
+
+They heard their mom and dad coming. They did not want to get in trouble. They tried to hide the picture and the bottle and the scissors. But it was too late. Their mom and dad saw the mess. They were angry.
+
+"What did you do?" their mom asked.
+
+"We wanted to make a picture of a house. We needed glue. We found this bottle. We thought it was glue. But it was honey. We are sorry." Lily and Ben said.
+
+Their mom and dad sighed. They were not happy, but they were not mad. They knew Lily and Ben did not mean to make a mess. They helped them clean up. They explained that honey was not glue. They told them to always ask before using something they did not know. They hugged them and said they loved them.
+
+They looked at the picture of the house. It was not perfect, but it was creative. They smiled. They said it was a good try. They hung it on the fridge. Lily and Ben were happy. They learned a lesson. They said they would be more careful next time. They said they loved their mom and dad. They went to play with something else.
+Lily loved sunflowers. She liked to look at them in the garden. They were big and yellow and happy. She wanted to get one for her mom. She thought her mom would like it too.
+
+She went to the garden and saw a sunflower. It was very tall and pretty. She tried to get it, but it was too high. She jumped and reached, but she could not get it. She was sad.
+
+She saw a small sunflower on the ground. It was not tall and pretty. It was brown and wilted and disgusting. She did not like it. But she thought, maybe her mom would like it anyway. She picked it up and ran to her mom.
+
+She gave the sunflower to her mom and said, "I got this for you, mom. I love you." Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you too. And I love this sunflower. It is very special."
+
+Lily was confused. She said, "But mom, it is disgusting. It is not big and yellow and happy. It is brown and wilted and sad." Her mom said, "No, Lily. It is not disgusting. It is beautiful. Because you gave it to me with love. And love makes everything beautiful."
+
+Lily learned a lesson. She learned that it is not how things look that matters. It is how you feel about them. And she learned that love is the best gift of all.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom cook. One day, mom asked them to make some soup for dad, who was sick. Lily and Ben put some water, carrots, potatoes and chicken in a big pot. They stirred and stirred with a big spoon.
+
+"Soup is good for dad," Lily said. "It will make him warm and happy."
+
+"Yes, and we can give him a scarf too," Ben said. "A scarf will keep his neck cozy."
+
+They looked for a scarf in the closet, but they could not find one. They saw a ball of wool and some needles. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's make a scarf for dad," Lily said. "We can knit it with the wool and the needles."
+
+They tried to knit, but it was hard. They made many knots and holes. The wool was scratchy and the needles were pointy. They got frustrated and sad.
+
+"Knitting is not fun," Ben said. "It hurts my fingers and makes me angry."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "And our scarf is ugly and small. Dad will not like it."
+
+They heard mom call them from the kitchen. "Lily and Ben, the soup is ready. Come and taste it."
+
+They left the wool and the needles on the floor and ran to the kitchen. They tasted the soup and it was delicious. They smiled and hugged mom.
+
+"Mom, you are the best cook," Lily said. "Your soup is yummy and smooth."
+
+"Thank you, my loves," mom said. "You are very good helpers. I'm sure dad will love the soup too. And look, I have a surprise for you."
+
+She showed them a big, soft, colorful scarf that she had knitted for dad. It had stripes of red, blue, green and yellow. It was long and warm.
+
+"Wow, mom, you are the best knitter too," Ben said. "Your scarf is beautiful and big."
+
+"Thank you, my loves," mom said. "I knitted it while you were making the soup. I used the wool and the needles that you left on the floor. I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt ashamed. They had wasted the wool and the needles and made a mess. They had not finished their scarf and had given up.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Lily said. "We wanted to make a scarf for dad too, but we could not do it. We did not know how to knit. We made a bad scarf and a big mess."
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Ben said. "We should have asked you to teach us how to knit. We should have tried harder and been more patient. We did not do our best."
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them. "It's okay, my loves," she said. "I'm proud of you for wanting to make a scarf for dad. That was very kind and thoughtful of you. But knitting is not easy. It takes time and practice and skill. You can't learn it in one day. You have to be willing to make mistakes and learn from them. You have to keep trying and not give up. That's how you get better at anything."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and understood. They felt sorry for their bad scarf and their big mess, but they also felt happy for their good soup and their mom's scarf. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that cooking and knitting are both ways of showing love, but they also require effort and perseverance. They learned that they can do anything if they try hard and ask for help.
+
+They gave mom a big hug and said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for teaching us how to cook and knit. We want to learn more from you. We want to do our best."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my loves. You are my best gifts. Come on, let's go and give dad the soup and the scarf. He will be very happy to see you."

+
+The contest started. Sara threw her ball high and far, and caught it with her hands. She did it again and again. She was good at catch. She saw the other kids. Some kids threw their balls high and far, and caught them with their hands. Some kids threw their balls low and near, and missed them with their hands. Some kids threw their balls at other kids, and made them cry.
+
+Sara did not like the kids who threw their balls at other kids. She thought they were mean and rude. She wanted to tell them to stop. But she remembered what her mom and dad said. She had to be polite and fair. She did not throw her ball at them. She threw her ball high and far, and caught it with her hands.
+
+The contest ended. The judge came. He had a prize. It was a big teddy bear. Sara liked teddy bears. She hoped she would get the prize. The judge looked at the kids. He said who the winner was.

+Sam shakes his head. He likes the new car more. He runs away with it. Tom runs after him. They both yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sam fighting over the new car. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop it, boys!" Mom says. "You have to share and be nice. Tom, you can let Sam play with your new car for a while. Sam, you have to give it back when Tom asks. OK?"
+
+Tom and Sam look at Mom. They know she is right. They say sorry to each other. They decide to take turns with the new car. They also play with their own cars. They have fun together.
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad they are friends again. She leads them to the kitchen and gives them some cookies and milk. They say thank you and eat them. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big envelope on the table. It is bright red and has stamps on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a letter!" Lily says. "Who is it from?"
+
+Ben picks up the envelope and reads the name. "It is from Grandma and Grandpa. They live far away. They travel a lot."
+
+"What do they say?" Lily asks. She opens the envelope and takes out a card. It has a picture of a plane and a map.
+
+"Dear Lily and Ben, we miss you very much. We are in a new place. It is called France. It is across the sea. We saw a big tower and a museum. We ate bread and cheese. We hope you are having fun. We will see you soon. Love, Grandma and Grandpa."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They like to hear from Grandma and Grandpa. They travel to many places and send them letters and cards. They learn new things and see new things.
+
+"Can we travel too?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe one day," Ben says. "But for now, we can write back. We can tell them about our school and our friends and our pets."
+
+They find some paper and crayons and write their own letter. They draw a picture of their house and their family. They put it in the envelope and stick a stamp on it.
+
+"Let's go to the mailbox," Lily says.
+
+They put on their shoes and coats and go outside. They walk to the mailbox and put their letter inside. They wave to the mailman and say hello.
+
+"Bye, letter," Ben says. "Have a good travel. Say hi to Grandma and Grandpa."
+
+"Bye, letter," Lily says. "We love you. Come back soon."
+Lily was a little bunny who loved to hop. She hopped all over the meadow, looking for something to eat. She was very hungry, but she could not find any carrots or lettuce.
+
+She saw a big oak tree in the corner of the meadow. She hopped towards it, hoping to find some acorns. But when she got there, she saw a big owl sitting on a branch. The owl looked at her with his big eyes and said, "Who are you?"
+
+Lily was scared of the owl. She knew that owls liked to eat bunnies. She said, "I am Lily, a little bunny. I am looking for some food. Please do not eat me!"
+
+The owl said, "I am not hungry, little bunny. I ate a mouse for breakfast. But you should not come near my tree. This is my home, and I do not like visitors."
+
+Lily said, "I am sorry, Mr. Owl. I did not know this was your home. I will go away and find another place to eat."
+
+The owl said, "That is a good idea, little bunny. But be careful, there are other animals in the meadow who might want to eat you. You should hop fast and stay with your friends."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Mr. Owl. You are very wise and kind. Goodbye!" She hopped away from the oak tree, looking for a safer spot to find some food. She hoped to find some carrots or lettuce soon. She was still very hungry.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play at the beach. They built sand castles, dug holes, and collected shells. But their favorite thing was to splash in the water. They ran into the waves and kicked their feet, laughing and shouting.
+
+One day, the tide was very high and the water was very fast. Tom and Sam did not notice, because they were having too much fun. They splashed and splashed, until they were far from the shore. Then they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Tom! Sam! Come back! The tide is too strong!" she yelled.
+
+Tom and Sam tried to swim back, but the water pushed them away. They were scared and troubled. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried.
+
+Their mom saw a lifeguard nearby and waved at him. The lifeguard saw the boys and quickly swam to them. He grabbed them by their arms and pulled them to his boat. He took them back to the shore, where their mom hugged them and thanked him.
+
+"Are you okay, boys?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we are okay," they said.
+
+"I'm glad you are safe, but you have to be careful. The tide can be dangerous. You have to stay close to me and listen to me when I call you. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We won't splash too far again," they said.
+
+They learned their lesson and never went too far into the water again. They still liked to splash, but they always watched the tide and listened to their mom.
+Tom and Lily like to jog with their dad in the park. They wear their shoes and hats and follow dad on the path. Sometimes they see birds and flowers and other people. They have fun and feel good.
+
+One day, they see a big cable on the ground. It is black and thick and has wires inside. Dad says it is for the lights and the music in the park. He says they should not touch it or go near it. It can be dangerous.
+
+Tom and Lily are curious. They want to see the cable closer. They wait for dad to jog ahead and then they sneak behind a tree. They look at the cable and wonder what it does.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, dad said no," Lily says. "We should listen to dad. He knows best."
+
+"But I want to see what it feels like," Tom says. He reaches out his hand to the cable.
+
+Lily is scared. She grabs Tom's hand and pulls him back. "No, Tom, no! It can hurt you! Come on, let's go back to dad. He will be worried."
+
+Tom is sad. He wanted to touch the cable. But he sees that Lily is right. He loves his sister and his dad. He does not want to make them upset. He is a good boy. He is patient.
+
+He nods and follows Lily back to the path. They run to catch up with dad. Dad smiles and hugs them. He says he is proud of them. He says they are brave and smart and kind. He says they are his best joggers. Tom and Lily are happy. They love their dad. They love to jog with him. They forget about the cable. They enjoy the park.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together in the yard. Sometimes they pretend to be animals, or pirates, or superheroes. Today they are playing mailman. They have a big bag of old papers and envelopes. They take turns to deliver the mail to the trees, the flowers, and the rocks.
+
+"Here is your mail, Mr. Tree," Lily says, putting a paper under a branch. "It is a letter from your friend, Mrs. Bird. She says she misses you and hopes you are well."
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Ben says, pretending to be the tree. "You are a very good mailman. Do you like your job?"
+
+Lily nods. "Yes, I do. I like to make people happy with their mail. And I like to walk around and see new things. What do you think, Ben? Do you like to be a mailman too?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes to deliver mail, but he also likes to do other things. He likes to draw, and read, and sing. He likes to have different adventures every day. He says, "I like to be a mailman sometimes, but not always. I like to try new things and have fun. Maybe tomorrow we can play something else. What do you think, Lily?"
+
+Lily thinks too. She likes to try new things and have fun, but she also likes to be a mailman. She likes to have a routine and a purpose. She likes to know what to expect and what to do. She says, "I like to be a mailman always, but I can play something else too. Maybe tomorrow we can play mailman and something else. We can take turns to choose. What do you think, Ben?"
+
+Ben smiles. He likes Lily's idea. He thinks it is fair and fun. He says, "I think that is a good idea, Lily. We can play mailman and something else. We can take turns to choose. I think you are a very good sister. And a very good mailman."
+
+Lily smiles too. She thinks Ben is a very good brother. And a very good tree. She says, "I think you are a very good brother. And a very good tree. And a very good mailman."
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They are comfortable. They are twins.
+Lily liked to cook with her mom. She had a hat that was red and wide. It was her cook hat. She put it on when she helped mom in the kitchen.
+
+One day, mom said, "Lily, do you want to cook some cookies with me?" Lily nodded and smiled. She loved cookies. She ran to get her hat and apron.
+
+Mom gave Lily a bowl and a spoon. She said, "Lily, can you stir the flour and the sugar and the butter?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I can stir." She stirred the mix with her spoon. It was hard and sticky.
+
+Mom said, "Good job, Lily. Now we need to add some eggs and some milk and some vanilla." She cracked the eggs and poured the milk and the vanilla. Lily stirred again. The mix was soft and smooth.
+
+Mom said, "Now we need to make some balls with the mix and put them on the tray." She showed Lily how to roll the mix with her hands and place them on the tray. Lily copied her. She said, "Mom, this is fun. I like to cook with you."
+
+Mom said, "Me too, Lily. You are a great helper. Now we need to put the tray in the oven and wait for the cookies to bake." She opened the oven and slid the tray inside. She said, "Lily, can you set the timer for 15 minutes?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I can set the timer." She pushed the buttons on the timer. It beeped.
+
+Mom said, "Now we can clean up and wait for the cookies to be ready. Do you want to read a book with me?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I want to read a book with you." She took off her hat and apron and put them away. She hugged mom and said, "Mom, I love you. You are the best cook." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best daughter." They sat on the couch and read a book together. They smelled the cookies. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They run and jump and laugh. They are happy.
+
+But sometimes the sun is too hot. They feel thirsty and tired. They want to drink something cold and sweet.
+
+They go to Anna's house. Anna's mom has a big jug of juice. She pours some juice in two cups. She adds some ice cubes. The juice is icy and yummy.
+
+Anna and Ben enjoy the juice. They sip and smile. They feel cool and refreshed. They thank Anna's mom.
+
+They go back outside. They play some more. They have fun. They are happy.
+Anna liked to question everything. She always asked why, how, what, and who. She wanted to learn about the world. But sometimes her questions made her parents tired.
+
+One day, Anna saw a vegetable on her plate. It was green and long and had bumps on it. She did not know what it was. She asked her mom, "What is this?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a zucchini. It is good for you. You should eat it."
+
+Anna did not like the sound of zucchini. She did not want to eat it. She asked her mom, "Why is it good for me?"
+
+Her mom said, "Because it has vitamins and minerals. They make you strong and healthy. If you don't eat it, you will be weak and sick."
+
+Anna did not want to be weak and sick. But she also did not want to eat the zucchini. She asked her mom, "Can I have something else?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, you can't. You have to eat what I give you. Stop questioning and start eating."
+
+Anna felt angry and sad. She did not like her mom's answer. She did not like the zucchini. She did not want to eat it. She pushed her plate away and crossed her arms. She said, "No, I won't."
+
+Her mom felt frustrated and worried. She did not like Anna's attitude. She did not like the waste of food. She wanted Anna to eat it. She pulled the plate back and said, "Yes, you will."
+
+Anna and her mom stared at each other. They both wanted to win. They both did not want to give up. They both did not know what to do. They had a big problem.
+Sam likes to play with his plane. He makes it fly in the air and makes zoom sounds. He pretends he is a pilot and goes to far places. He has fun with his plane.
+
+One day, Sam sees a big plane in the sky. It is white and shiny and has wings. Sam wants to see it better. He runs to the window and looks up. He sees the big plane fly over his house. He is amazed.
+
+Sam wants to go to the big plane. He thinks it is open and he can get in. He runs to the door and tries to open it. But it is closed. He pushes and pulls, but it does not move. He is sad and angry.
+
+He hears his mom call his name. She is in the kitchen. She asks him what he is doing. He tells her he wants to go to the big plane. She smiles and hugs him. She tells him the big plane is not open. It is for people who have tickets and bags. She tells him he can go to the big plane when he is older and he can fly with her.
+
+Sam feels better. He still likes his plane. He goes back to his room and plays with it. He makes it fly in the air and makes zoom sounds. He pretends he is a pilot and goes to far places. He has fun with his plane.
+Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big bush with red berries. Tom says, "Look, Anna, yummy berries!" He picks some and puts them in his mouth.
+
+Anna says, "No, Tom, don't eat them! They are bad berries! They are disgusting!" She spits out the one she tried. She feels sick.
+
+Tom says, "Too late, Anna, I ate them. They are not disgusting. They are sweet and juicy." He smiles and picks more.
+
+Anna says, "Tom, stop! You will get sick too! Come with me, we need to find Mommy. She will help us." She pulls his hand and tries to make him go.
+
+But Tom does not move. He feels funny. He feels cold and stiff. He cannot talk or smile. He cannot walk or run. He freezes like a statue.
+
+Anna is scared. She screams, "Tom, Tom, wake up! You are frozen! Mommy, Mommy, help!" She cries and hugs him.
+
+Mommy hears Anna and runs to them. She sees Tom and the bush. She knows the bush is bad. She says, "Oh no, Tom, you ate the poison berries! They make you freeze! We need to go to the doctor. He will make you warm and well again." She picks up Tom and carries him.
+
+Anna follows Mommy. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry. I love you. Please be okay." She hopes the doctor can help her brother. She hates the bush and the disgusting berries. She never wants to see them again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a sign that said "Zoo". They ran to the truck and looked inside. They saw many cages with animals.
+
+"Look, a lion!" Tom said, pointing to a cage with a big yellow cat.
+
+"Wow, he is so big and loud!" Lily said, hearing the lion roar.
+
+They moved to the next cage. It had a gray animal with a long nose and big ears.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is an elephant," mom said. "He can spray water with his nose."
+
+"Can we see him do that?" Tom asked.
+
+Mom nodded and took them to the front of the cage. She pressed a button and the cage door opened. The elephant walked out and looked at them. He lifted his nose and sprayed water on them.
+
+"Wow, he revealed his trick!" Lily said, laughing and getting wet.
+
+"Ha ha, that was fun!" Tom said, wiping his face.
+
+The elephant smiled and went back to his cage. Lily and Tom thanked him and waved goodbye. They went to see the other animals in the truck. They had a great day at the park.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend and dress up in costumes. One day, they found a big box of costumes in the attic. There were hats, capes, masks, and more.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can be a princess!" Lily said. She put on a pink dress and a shiny crown.
+
+"And I can be a pirate!" Ben said. He put on a striped shirt and a black hat with a skull.
+
+They ran around the attic, pretending to have adventures. Lily waved a wand and Ben swung a sword.
+
+"Arrr, matey, give me your jewels!" Ben said.
+
+"Never, you mean pirate!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed and chased each other. But then, Ben pinched Lily's arm.
+
+"Ow, Ben, that hurts!" Lily said. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I was just playing," Ben said. He felt bad.
+
+He hugged Lily and gave her a band-aid. He also gave her his hat.
+
+"Here, Lily, you can be a pirate princess. You are very creative and brave," Ben said.
+
+Lily smiled and wiped her tears. She put on the hat and gave Ben her crown.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind and funny. You can be a prince pirate," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and played some more. They had fun with their costumes and their imagination. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox.
+
+One day, they saw a big box under a tree. They were curious and went to look. Inside the box, they found many shoes of different colors and shapes. Some were shiny, some were furry, some had laces and some had buttons.
+
+"Wow, look at all these shoes!" Lily said. "They are so pretty and original. Can we try them on?"
+
+"Sure, why not?" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Maybe they belong to someone else."
+
+They took off their own shoes and put them next to the box. Then they started to try on the different shoes. They laughed and pretended to be different people. Lily put on a pair of red shoes with heels and said she was a princess. Tom put on a pair of black shoes with buckles and said he was a pirate.
+
+They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. They did not see the man who came to the tree and took the box with the shoes. He was a thief who had stolen the shoes from a store. He was happy to see that no one was watching. He quickly put the box in his car and drove away.
+
+When Lily and Tom finished playing, they looked for their own shoes. But they were gone. The box was gone too. They only had the shoes they were wearing.
+
+"Oh no, where are our shoes?" Lily cried. "We need them to go home. What will we do?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe someone took them by mistake. Maybe they will come back."
+
+They waited and waited, but no one came. They started to feel scared and sad. They wished they had not tried on the other shoes. They wished they had their own shoes back.
+
+Then they saw a lady walking towards them. She had a kind smile and a big bag. She stopped and said hello.
+
+"Hello, children. What are you doing here?" she asked.
+
+"We are playing," Lily said. "But we lost our shoes. Someone took them and we don't know who."
+
+"That's terrible," the lady said. "I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know where you live? Can I help you find your way home?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not know the lady. But she seemed nice and friendly. They decided to trust her.
+
+"Yes, please," Tom said. "We live on Green Street, number 12. Can you take us there?"
+
+"Of course," the lady said. "Come with me. I have some extra shoes in my bag. You can borrow them until you find your own shoes."
+
+She opened her bag and gave them each a pair of shoes that fit them. They were not as pretty and original as the ones in the box, but they were comfortable and warm. Lily and Tom thanked the lady and put on the shoes. Then they followed her to her car.
+
+The lady drove them to their street and stopped in front of their house. She helped them get out of the car and gave them a hug.
+
+"Here you are, children. I hope you find your shoes soon. And remember, be careful with strangers and their things. They may not be as nice as they seem."
+
+"Thank you, lady. You are very kind. We will remember your words," Lily and Tom said.
+
+They waved goodbye to the lady and ran to their door. They knocked and their mom opened. She was surprised and happy to see them.
+
+"Where have you been, children? I was worried about you. And what are those shoes you are wearing?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Tom told her everything that had happened. They said they were sorry for being late and for losing their shoes. They said they met a nice lady who helped them and lent them shoes.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said she was glad they were safe. She said she was proud of them for trusting the nice lady and for telling the truth. She said she would call the police and try to find their shoes.
+
+She also said they could keep the shoes they were wearing until they got their own shoes back. She said they were not as original, but they were special. They were the shoes of a good person who cared for them.
+Ben liked to study the stars. He had a big equipment that helped him see them better. It was a telescope. He got it from his dad for his birthday. He put it in his room near the window.
+
+One night, he heard a noise outside. He looked out and saw a big light in the sky. It was not a star. It was something else. He grabbed his telescope and ran to the backyard. He wanted to study the light.
+
+He set up his equipment and looked through it. He saw a round thing with windows and lights. It was a spaceship. He was amazed. He wondered who was inside.
+
+"Hello, little one," a voice said. Ben turned around and saw a small green creature. It had big eyes and a long tail. It was holding a device that looked like a phone. It was talking to him.
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asked.
+
+"I am Zee. I come from another planet. I am here to study your world. And you are?" the creature said.
+
+"I am Ben. I like to study the stars. And this is my equipment. It is a telescope. It helps me see them better," Ben said.
+
+"That is very interesting. Can I see?" Zee said.
+
+"Sure. Come here. I will show you," Ben said.
+
+Ben and Zee became friends. They studied the stars together. They also played with Ben's toys and books. Zee was very playful and curious. He liked to learn new things.
+
+Ben's dad came home and saw them. He was surprised and scared. He did not know what to do.
+
+"Ben, who is this?" he asked.
+
+"Dad, this is Zee. He is from another planet. He is here to study our world. And he is my friend," Ben said.
+
+"Hello, sir. I mean no harm. I am just visiting. I will leave soon. But I wanted to meet your son. He is very smart and kind," Zee said.
+
+Ben's dad was speechless. He did not know what to say. He looked at the spaceship, the telescope, and the green creature. He wondered if he was dreaming. He decided to sit down and listen to their story. He hoped they would not get in trouble. He also hoped they would have fun.
+Tom is a big boy who goes to school. He likes to play with his friends and learn new things. But sometimes he does not listen to his teacher or his mom. He thinks he knows everything and he can do what he wants.
+
+One day, he sees a big red ball in the playground. He wants to play with it, but it is not his. It belongs to a girl named Anna. She is in another class and she is not there. Tom thinks he can take the ball and have fun with it. He does not ask anyone or wait for Anna. He just grabs the ball and runs away.
+
+But Anna sees him and she is very sad. She likes her ball very much and she does not want to lose it. She runs after Tom and shouts, "Stop! That is my ball! Give it back to me!" But Tom does not stop. He thinks he is faster and smarter than Anna. He runs and runs and does not look where he is going.
+
+He does not see the big fence that is in front of him. He runs into it and falls down. The ball flies out of his hands and rolls away. Tom hurts his nose and his knee. He cries and cries. He feels very bad.
+
+Anna catches up with him and sees him crying. She feels sorry for him and she helps him get up. She says, "Are you okay? That was a very bad thing to do. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first and follow the rules. That is how we can be good friends and share."
+
+Tom looks at Anna and he feels very sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. You are right. I was very bad. I should not have taken your ball. I should have listened to you and followed the rules. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?"
+
+Anna smiles and says, "Yes, I forgive you. And yes, we can be friends. But you have to promise me that you will not do that again. And you have to say sorry to the teacher and your mom. They will be worried about you."
+
+Tom nods and says, "I promise. And I will say sorry to them. Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and brave. You are a good friend."
+
+They hug and they find the ball. They go back to the school and tell the teacher and their moms what happened. They say sorry and they learn their lesson. They play with the ball together and they share it with other kids. They are happy and they follow the rules.
+Ben loves to watch the jets fly in the sky. He likes to see how fast and loud they are. He wants to be a jet pilot when he grows up. He has a toy jet that he plays with every day. He makes it zoom and soar and land on his bed.
+
+One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He brings his toy jet with him. He runs and jumps and swings and slides. He has a lot of fun. He also meets a new friend, Lily. Lily likes to play with dolls and cars. She sees Ben's toy jet and asks him if she can try it.
+
+"Sure, you can play with my jet," Ben says. He is a modest boy. He likes to share his things. He gives Lily his toy jet and shows her how to make it fly. Lily is happy. She thanks Ben and makes the jet fly too. She likes how it glides and spins and dives.
+
+They play together for a long time. They pretend they are jet pilots and go on adventures. They have a lot of fun. But then, Ben's mom says it is time to go home. Ben says goodbye to Lily and asks for his toy jet back.
+
+"Can I keep it?" Lily asks. She likes the jet a lot. She wants to play with it more.
+
+"No, you can't keep it," Ben says. He likes Lily, but he loves his jet. He wants to play with it at home. He asks for his toy jet again.
+
+"Please, just for one more day," Lily begs. She holds the jet tight. She does not want to give it back.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like to fight. He does not like to be mean. But he also does not like to lose his jet. He tries to be polite and firm. He says, "No, Lily, you have to give it back. It is my jet. I let you play with it, but it is not yours. You have to return it."
+
+Lily feels sad and angry too. She does not like to give up. She does not like to be wrong. But she also does not like to hurt Ben. She sees that he is upset. She tries to be kind and fair. She says, "OK, Ben, I'm sorry. You are right. It is your jet. You were nice to let me play with it. I will return it."
+
+She gives Ben his toy jet back. He takes it and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Maybe we can play again tomorrow. You can play with my jet again, if you want."
+
+Lily smiles too. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend too. I would like to play with you again. And maybe you can play with my dolls and cars, if you want."
+
+They hug and say goodbye. They are both happy. They have learned to share and return. They have made a new friend. They have had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they found a big orange in the kitchen. It was round and juicy and smelled good.
+
+"Can we share the orange?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben said. He was selfish. He wanted the orange all for himself.
+
+He grabbed the orange and ran away. Anna followed him. She was sad and angry.
+
+"Give me the orange, Ben! It is not fair!" Anna shouted.
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran to his room and locked the door. He tried to peel the orange, but it was hard. He hurt his fingers and made a mess.
+
+Anna knocked on the door. She had an idea.
+
+"Ben, I can help you peel the orange. I have a knife. If you let me in, we can share the orange and be happy," Anna said.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He was hungry and lonely. He did not like to be selfish.
+
+He opened the door and let Anna in. Anna smiled and took the knife. She cut the orange in half and gave one half to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I am sorry I was selfish," Ben said.
+
+They ate the orange together. It was sweet and tasty. They hugged and said sorry. They were friends again.
+Ben liked to mark on paper with his crayons. He made many pictures of things he saw and liked. One day, he saw a bright kite in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. He wanted to make a picture of the kite.
+
+He ran to his room and got his crayons and paper. He marked a big kite on the paper. He used all the colors he had. He was very happy with his picture. He wanted to show it to his mom and dad.
+
+He ran to the kitchen where his mom and dad were. He held up his picture and said, "Look, look, I made a kite!" But his mom and dad did not look. They were busy and angry. They had a lot of bills to pay and not enough money. They yelled at Ben, "Not now, Ben, can't you see we are busy? Go away and stop bothering us!"
+
+Ben felt very sad and hurt. He dropped his picture on the floor and ran to his room. He cried on his bed. He did not understand why his mom and dad did not like his picture. He did not understand why they were so angry. He wished he had a bright kite to fly in the sky. He wished he had someone to play with and hug him. He felt very lonely and unhappy. He did not mark on paper anymore.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big box of soldiers and Lily had a small doll. Tom liked to make his soldiers march and fight and Lily liked to dress her doll and comb her hair.
+
+"Can I play with your soldiers, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, they are mine. You have your doll," Tom said.
+
+"But I want to play with your soldiers. They look fun. Please, Tom," Lily said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He did not want to share his soldiers, but he also did not want to make Lily sad. He had an idea.
+
+"OK, you can play with my soldiers, but only if you make them clean. They are very dirty from the war. You have to wash them and dry them and brush them," Tom said.
+
+Lily agreed. She took some soldiers and put them in a bowl of water. She used a sponge and soap to scrub them. Then she took them out and wrapped them in a towel. She used a comb to smooth their hair.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made your soldiers clean. They are shiny and soft. Can I play with them now?" Lily said.
+
+Tom looked at his soldiers. They did not look like soldiers anymore. They looked like dolls. He felt angry and sad.
+
+"No, you ruined my soldiers. You made them look silly. They are not soldiers anymore. They are dolls. Give them back to me," Tom said.
+
+He grabbed his soldiers from Lily and put them back in his box. Lily started to cry.
+
+"Tom, you are mean. I just wanted to play with you. I did what you said. I made your soldiers clean. Why are you mad at me?" Lily said.
+
+Tom did not answer. He turned away from Lily and played with his soldiers by himself. He did not notice that some of his soldiers were missing buttons and belts and hats. He did not notice that Lily was still crying. He did not notice that his mother was watching them from the kitchen. He did not notice that he was not having fun.
+Lily and Ben are playing with a toy car. The car can move and make sounds when they press a button. Lily likes to press the button a lot and make the car go fast and loud. Ben likes to watch the car, but he does not like the loud sounds.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben says. "The car is too loud. It hurts my ears."
+
+"But I like the loud car," Lily says. "It is fun and cool. You are silly, Ben."
+
+Lily presses the button again and the car zooms and beeps. Ben covers his ears and frowns. He is not happy.
+
+Suddenly, the car stops moving and making sounds. Lily presses the button again and again, but nothing happens. She looks at the car and sees a small hole on the bottom. She turns the car over and sees a word: battery.
+
+"What is battery?" Lily asks.
+
+"Battery is what makes the car work," Ben says. "It is like food for the car. When the battery is empty, the car is tired and quiet."
+
+"Oh," Lily says. "How do we make the battery full again?"
+
+"We need to find new batteries," Ben says. "Or we can ask mom or dad to help us."
+
+Lily and Ben go to find mom or dad. They learn that batteries are important for some toys. They also learn to share and take turns with the car. They play with the car again, but not too loud. They have fun and are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the attic. They found a big chest with a lock. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there are toys or books or clothes," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe there are jewels or coins or candy," Ben said.
+
+They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They saw a hammer and a screwdriver on a shelf.
+
+"Let's use these to open the chest," Ben said. He took the hammer and hit the lock hard.
+
+"Wait, Ben, that's not a good idea," Lily said. "That's not our chest. We should ask Mom or Dad first."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He hit the lock again and again, until it broke. He opened the chest and smiled.
+
+"Look, Lily, I was right! There are jewels and coins and candy!" He grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket.
+
+Lily felt scared. She knew they did something wrong. She wanted to tell Ben to stop, but he was too excited.
+
+"Come on, Lily, choose some for yourself. There are plenty for both of us," he said.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to take anything. She wanted to go back downstairs.
+
+"Ben, please, let's go. We should not touch these things. They belong to someone else. Maybe they are very important or very old or very special," she said.
+
+But Ben did not care. He took more and more, until his pockets were full. He closed the chest and ran to the stairs.
+
+"Come on, Lily, hurry up. We can hide these in our room and play with them later," he said.
+
+Lily followed him, but she felt bad. She wished they never found the chest.
+
+They ran down the stairs, but they did not see Mom and Dad waiting for them. They looked angry and sad.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what have you done?" Mom asked. She saw the jewels and coins and candy falling out of Ben's pockets.
+
+"We found a chest in the attic and we opened it and we took some things," Ben said.
+
+"That chest was your great-grandma's. She left it for us when she died. It had her most precious memories and gifts. You broke the lock and stole her things. How could you?" Dad asked.
+
+Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They wanted to say sorry, but it was too late.
+
+Mom and Dad took them to their room and locked the door. They said they were very disappointed and angry. They said they had to think about a punishment.
+
+Ben and Lily cried. They wished they listened to Lily and asked Mom or Dad first. They wished they did not choose to be greedy and selfish. They learned a difficult lesson: respect other people's things and always tell the truth.
+Tom and Amy like to play with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they play a game where they sort their toys into groups. They put the red toys in one box, the blue toys in another box, and so on.
+
+One day, they decided to play the sorting game again. But they had a problem. They had only four boxes, but they had five colors of toys. They had red, blue, yellow, green, and purple toys. How could they sort them?
+
+Tom said, "Let's put the purple toys with the blue toys. They are both dark colors."
+
+Amy said, "No, let's put the purple toys with the red toys. They are both bright colors."
+
+They argued for a long time. They could not agree on how to sort the purple toys. They started to get angry and sad. They did not want to play the game anymore.
+
+Then, their mom came in. She saw them fighting over the toys. She said, "What is wrong, Tom and Amy? Why are you not having fun?"
+
+They told her about their problem. They said they had no box for the purple toys.
+
+Mom said, "I have an idea. Why don't you make a new box for the purple toys? You can use this old shoe box and some stickers. You can decorate it however you like."
+
+Tom and Amy liked mom's idea. They said, "Thank you, mom. That is a good idea."
+
+They took the shoe box and the stickers. They worked together to make a beautiful box for the purple toys. They put stars, hearts, and flowers on it. They were happy and proud of their work.
+
+They finished sorting their toys. They had five boxes, one for each color. They smiled and hugged each other. They said, "We did it. We sorted our toys. We had fun. We are good friends."
+An ordinary farmer had a big field of corn. He worked hard every day to water and weed his corn. He wanted to sell his corn at the market and buy a new cow.
+
+One morning, he rose early and went to his field. He saw a big truck with a machine on it. The machine had a long arm and a big mouth. The farmer did not know what it was.
+
+"Hello, farmer," said a man who came out of the truck. "I am here to take your corn. I have a paper that says this land is mine now. You have to go away."
+
+The farmer was very angry and sad. He said, "No, this is my land. I have worked here for many years. You cannot take my corn. Show me your paper."
+
+The man laughed and said, "I do not have to show you anything. This is my paper." He pointed to the machine. "This machine can eat all your corn in a few minutes. You cannot stop me. Go away or I will call the police."
+
+The farmer did not know what to do. He had no paper to prove his land. He had no friends to help him. He had no money to pay the police. He felt very scared and alone.
+
+He watched as the machine started to move. It reached out its long arm and opened its big mouth. It began to eat his corn. The farmer heard the crunching and cracking of his corn. He saw his field turn from yellow to brown. He cried and cried. He had lost everything.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to bake a cake for their mom. They go to the kitchen and find a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. They also find a cake pan with a zigzag shape.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is an interesting pan. It has many ups and downs. Do you think our cake will look like this?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, Anna, I think so. Let's try it. We have to crack the eggs, mix the flour, add the sugar, and melt the butter. Then we have to pour the batter into the pan and put it in the oven. Can you help me?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, Ben, I can help you. We are a good team. But we have to be careful. The oven is hot. We have to ask mom to help us with that part. And we have to wait for the cake to bake. It will take some time. Do you want to play a game while we wait?" Anna says.
+
+"Sure, Anna, I want to play a game. What game do you want to play? How about hide and seek? You can count to ten and I will hide. Then you have to find me. And then we can switch. OK?" Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben, that sounds fun. Let's play hide and seek. But we have to stay close to the kitchen. We don't want to miss our cake. It will smell good and taste yummy. And mom will be happy. Ready? One, two, three..." Anna says.
+One day, a little girl named Anna went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and slide, and make new friends. She saw a boy with a red ball, and asked him if she could play with him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna. Can I play with you?" she said.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. Sure, you can play with me. Do you like to kick the ball?" he said.
+
+"Yes, I do. Let's kick the ball together!" she said.
+
+They had fun kicking the ball back and forth, and laughing. They were having so much fun, they did not notice a stranger watching them. The stranger had a big bag, and a mean look on his face. He wanted to take the ball, and maybe the children too.
+
+He walked closer to them, and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, children. What a nice ball you have. Can I see it?"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped playing, and looked at the stranger. They did not know him, and he did not look nice. They felt scared, and held the ball tight.
+
+"No, you can't see it. It's ours. Go away!" Ben said.
+
+The stranger did not go away. He tried to grab the ball from them, and said, "Give me the ball, or I'll hurt you!"
+
+Anna and Ben screamed, and ran to their mom. They told her what happened, and pointed at the stranger. Their mom was angry, and called the police. She hugged them, and said, "You did the right thing, children. You should never talk to strangers, or let them touch your things. They might want to hurt you, or take you away. You are very important to me, and I love you. I will always provide for you, and protect you."
+
+The police came, and caught the stranger. They took him away, and thanked Anna and Ben for being brave. They gave them stickers, and said, "You are very smart, children. You should always stay close to your mom, and tell her if you see something wrong. You are very important to the police, and we will always provide for you, and protect you."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled, and thanked the police. They felt safe, and happy. They went back to playing with the ball, and made more friends. They learned a lesson, and never talked to strangers again.
+Tom and Ann are husband and wife. They live in a small house with a big garden. They like to grow flowers and vegetables in the garden. They also have a dog named Spot and a cat named Fluffy.
+
+One day, Tom says to Ann, "We need to go to the shop. We have no milk, no bread, no eggs. We need to supply our house with food."
+
+Ann says, "OK, let's go. But first, we need to feed Spot and Fluffy. They are hungry too."
+
+Tom and Ann fill two bowls with dog food and cat food. They put the bowls on the floor. Spot and Fluffy run to the bowls and start to eat. Tom and Ann pat their heads and say, "Good boy, good girl. We will be back soon."
+
+Tom and Ann take a basket and walk to the shop. The sun is shining and the sky is clear. They see many people and cars on the road. They say hello to their friends and neighbors. They reach the shop and buy milk, bread, eggs, and some other things. They put everything in the basket and walk back to their house.
+
+When they get home, they see Spot and Fluffy waiting for them at the door. They wag their tails and purr. Tom and Ann hug them and say, "We are back. We missed you. We have food for you and for us."
+
+Tom and Ann put the food in the kitchen. They make sandwiches and tea. They sit at the table and eat. They share some bread and milk with Spot and Fluffy. They are happy and full. They thank each other for their help. They say, "We are a good team. We supply our house with love and care."
+Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a clock. The clock was her favorite toy. It had a big face with numbers and hands. It made a tick-tock sound. Lily liked to move the hands and pretend it was different times.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Max came into her room. He wanted to play with the clock too. He took it from Lily and ran away. Lily was very sad and angry. She wanted her clock back. She chased Max around the house. She shouted, "Give me my clock! It is mine!"
+
+Max was faster than Lily. He ran into the kitchen and hid behind the table. He thought he was very clever. He looked at the clock and smiled. He moved the hands to make it a silly time. He moved the big hand to the twelve and the little hand to the six. He said, "Look, Lily, it is noon and midnight at the same time! How silly!"
+
+But Max did not know that Mom was in the kitchen too. She was making lunch. She heard Max's voice and saw the clock. She was not happy. She said, "Max, what are you doing with Lily's clock? That is not a nice way to play. You should share and be kind. And you should not make the clock show a silly time. It will confuse you and Lily. You need to learn how to tell the time properly."
+
+Mom took the clock from Max and gave it back to Lily. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Max was not nice to you. He should not have taken your clock. It is your toy. You can play with it as you like. But you should also learn how to tell the time. It is a useful skill. I will teach you later, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy to have her clock back. She thanked Mom and said, "I love you, Mom. And I love my clock. It is a fun toy. But I also want to learn how to tell the time. Maybe Max can learn too. Then we can play with the clock together. And we can make silly times sometimes, but only for fun."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That sounds like a good idea, Lily. I love you too. And I love Max too, even when he is silly. Come on, let's go and find him. Maybe he is hungry. It is almost lunch time. Do you know what time it is?"
+
+Lily looked at her clock and said, "It is one o'clock. The big hand is on the twelve and the little hand is on the one. Right, Mom?"
+
+Mom said, "That's right, Lily. You are very smart. You are gaining a lot of knowledge. Let's go and eat. Maybe we can have some silly sandwiches. How about peanut butter and jelly and cheese and ham?"
+
+Lily laughed and said, "That sounds very silly, Mom. But also very yummy. Let's go!"
+Lily and Ben were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. They were very happy.
+
+One day, they heard a loud sound from the sea. They looked up and saw a big splash. It was a whale! A whale was jumping out of the water and making noise. Lily and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see more.
+
+They ran to the edge of the water and waved at the whale. The whale saw them and waved back with its tail. It jumped again and again. It was wild and free. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped.
+
+Mom and Dad came to see what was going on. They smiled and took pictures of the whale and the kids. They told Lily and Ben that the whale was a friendly animal and that they were lucky to see it.
+
+Soon, the whale had to go. It said goodbye with one last splash and swam away. Lily and Ben waved goodbye too. They thanked the whale for the fun show. They hoped to see it again someday. They hurried back to their sandcastle and continued to play. They had a wonderful day at the beach.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to find logs and make forts with them. They also liked to sack each other with leaves and pine cones. It was fun to hide and jump out and say "Boo!"
+
+One day, they found a big log that was hollow inside. It looked like a good place to hide. Lily said, "Let's go in there and wait for Mom to come. We can sack her with leaves and make her laugh." Ben nodded and followed Lily into the log.
+
+They crawled inside and saw that it was dark and cozy. They heard some noises outside, like footsteps and voices. They thought it was Mom and Dad. They got ready to sack them with leaves. They whispered, "Shh, be quiet. They are coming."
+
+But it was not Mom and Dad. It was two men with axes and saws. They were woodcutters. They did not see Lily and Ben in the log. They saw the log and said, "This is a good log. Let's cut it and take it to the truck." They started to cut the log with their axes.
+
+Lily and Ben heard the noisy axes and got scared. They screamed, "Help! Help! We are in here! Stop cutting!" The woodcutters heard them and stopped. They looked inside the log and saw the two children. They were surprised and said, "What are you doing in there? How did you get in there?"
+
+Lily and Ben crawled out of the log and ran to Mom and Dad, who were nearby. They hugged them and told them what happened. Mom and Dad were glad that they were safe. They said, "You should not go into logs. They are dangerous. You could get hurt or trapped. Next time, play somewhere else."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to have fun and sack you with leaves." Mom and Dad said, "We understand. But you have to be careful. Logs are not for hiding. They are for woodcutters." They took Lily and Ben home and gave them cookies and milk. They said, "We love you. You are our precious logs." Lily and Ben smiled and said, "We love you too. You are our best sacks."
+Sara and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sara had a big red block that looked like a heart. She was very proud of it.
+
+"Can I add your heart to my tower?" Ben asked Sara. He wanted to make his tower taller and prettier.
+
+"No, you can't!" Sara said. "This is my heart and I don't want to share it. Go find your own blocks!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Sara was not a good friend. He decided to knock down her tower when she was not looking. He waited until Sara went to get some water and then he pushed her tower with his hand. All the blocks fell down and made a loud noise.
+
+Sara came back and saw her tower was broken. She saw her heart block on the floor. She was very frightened. She thought someone had stolen her heart. She started to cry.
+
+"Who did this? Who took my heart?" she sobbed.
+
+Ben felt sorry for Sara. He realized he had done a bad thing. He picked up the heart block and gave it back to Sara.
+
+"I did this. I'm sorry, Sara. I was mad at you because you didn't want to share your heart. But I shouldn't have broken your tower. That was mean. Here is your heart. Can you forgive me?" he said.
+
+Sara looked at Ben and saw he was sorry. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. I'm sorry too. I should have shared my heart with you. You are my friend. Can we play together again?"
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, we can. Let's build a new tower together. And we can both add our hearts to it."
+
+Sara and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that sharing is caring and that breaking things is not nice. They learned to say sorry and to forgive. They learned to be good friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to complete a task. She gave them each a bowl of rice and said, "Please wash the rice and put it in the pot. Then I will cook it for dinner."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and took their bowls to the sink. Lily was calm and careful. She poured some water on the rice and rubbed it gently with her hands. She drained the water and repeated until the water was clear. Then she put the rice in the pot and smiled.
+
+Ben was not calm and careful. He poured too much water on the rice and splashed it everywhere. He rubbed it roughly with his hands and spilled some rice on the floor. He drained the water and did not repeat. He put the rice in the pot and grinned.
+
+Mom came back and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, what did you do? You did not wash the rice well. You wasted water and rice. You made the kitchen dirty. You did not complete the task."
+
+Ben felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to be fast and fun. I did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom said, "Being fast and fun is not always good. You need to be calm and careful when you do something. You need to complete the task well. That is how you help me and yourself. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will be calm and careful next time. Can I help you clean the kitchen?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Ben. And thank you, Lily. You did a good job. I'm proud of you both."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged mom and helped her clean the kitchen. They learned to be calm and careful when they complete a task. They also learned to say sorry and help when they make a mistake. They enjoyed their dinner of rice and other yummy food. They were happy and grateful.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls from the cabinet. They also used flour and water and salt and sugar from the shelf.
+
+"Look, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a sticky mess of flour and water. "Do you want some?"
+
+"No, thank you," Ben said, wrinkling his nose. "I made soup. It is much better." He showed Lily his pot of water and salt and sugar. "Here, try some."
+
+Lily took a sip and made a face. "Blech! That is not soup. That is salty water. You need more things in it. Like carrots and potatoes and beans."
+
+Ben shrugged. "I don't have those things. I only have what is in the kitchen."
+
+Just then, they heard a loud meow. They turned and saw a furry cat jump on the counter. The cat was hungry and smelled the food. It licked the cake and the soup and made a happy noise.
+
+"Hey, that is our food!" Lily said, running to the counter. "Go away, cat!"
+
+But the cat did not go away. It knocked over the pot and the bowl and made a big mess. Flour and water and salt and sugar spilled everywhere. The cat ran away, leaving paw prints on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said, looking at the mess. "Mom will be so mad. What do we do?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. "We have to wipe it up. Quick, get some towels and rags. We can clean it before Mom sees."
+
+Ben nodded. He opened the cabinet and took out some towels and rags. He gave some to Lily and they started to wipe the counter and the floor. They worked hard and fast. They hoped they could finish before Mom came back. They did not want to get in trouble. They also did not want to see the cat again.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a red ball. The dog runs to them and drops the ball. Anna and Ben want to play with the dog, but they do not know if the dog is friendly.
+
+They look at the dog and the dog looks at them. The dog wags its tail and makes a happy sound. Anna and Ben think the dog wants to play. They smile and pick up the ball. They throw the ball and the dog chases it. The dog brings the ball back and drops it again.
+
+Anna and Ben have fun with the dog. They run and laugh and pet the dog. The dog likes them and licks their faces. Anna and Ben are not afraid of the dog anymore. They are friends.
+
+Then they hear a whistle. The dog hears it too. The dog is alert and looks around. The dog sees a man with a leash. The man is the dog's owner. The man calls the dog and the dog runs to him. The man says sorry and thanks to Anna and Ben. He says the dog is nice and likes to play.
+
+Anna and Ben say bye to the dog and the man. They shrug and say it is okay. They are glad they met the dog. They hope to see the dog again. They go back to their own toys and play some more. They are happy.
+Will is a loyal dog. He loves his family very much. He likes to play with them, sleep with them, and protect them from bad things.
+
+One day, Will gets very dirty. He runs in the mud, chases a cat, and rolls in the grass. He is happy, but he is also messy. His family does not like it when he is messy. They say he needs a wash.
+
+Will does not like to wash. He thinks it is cold and wet and scary. He tries to hide from his family, but they find him. They take him to the bathroom and put him in the tub. They use soap and water and a sponge to wash him. Will does not want to wash. He barks and shakes and tries to get out.
+
+But his family is gentle and kind. They talk to him and pet him and tell him he is a good dog. They say they love him and they want him to be clean and healthy. They rinse him and dry him and give him a treat. Will feels better. He is clean and soft and smells good. He is still a loyal dog. He loves his family very much. He likes to play with them, sleep with them, and protect them from bad things. He also likes to wash, sometimes.
+Lily was a princess who liked to play with her toys. She had a big doll, a soft bear, and a shiny car. She also had a dog named Max, who was her best friend. Max liked to run, jump, and lick Lily's face.
+
+One day, Lily and Max were playing in the garden. Lily saw a pretty flower and wanted to smell it. She picked the flower and held it to her nose. Max saw the flower and wanted to bite it. He jumped and bit the flower in Lily's hand.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, Max! Bad dog! You bit my flower!" She threw the flower on the ground and ran to the house. Max was sorry and sad. He did not mean to hurt Lily or the flower. He followed Lily and barked.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened and hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. Max was just playing. He did not know the flower was yours. He loves you very much." She gave Lily a clean tissue and wiped her tears. She said, "Why don't you give Max a hug and say sorry, too? He is your friend."
+
+Lily thought about it and nodded. She went to Max and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Max. I know you were just playing. You are my friend. I love you, too." Max wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. Lily smiled and said, "Let's go play with my toys. But no biting, okay?" Max barked and nodded. They went to play with the doll, the bear, and the car. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play with frogs. She liked to catch them in the pond and put them in a bucket. She liked to look at their green skin and big eyes. She liked to hear them croak and jump.
+
+But her mom did not like frogs. She said they were dirty and slimy. She said they could make Lily sick. She said Lily had to leave the frogs alone and play with her dolls.
+
+One day, Lily found a big frog in the pond. It was the biggest frog she had ever seen. It had spots and stripes on its back. It had a loud croak and a long tongue. Lily wanted to keep it as a pet. She put it in her bucket and ran to her room.
+
+She hid the bucket under her bed and gave the frog some water and flies. She talked to the frog and named it Spot. She said Spot was her best friend.
+
+But mom smelled something bad in Lily's room. She looked under the bed and saw the bucket. She opened it and saw the frog. She screamed and dropped the bucket. The frog jumped out and hopped away.
+
+Mom was very angry. She said Lily was naughty and lied to her. She said Lily had to punish the frog and let it go. She said Lily had to clean her room and say sorry.
+
+Lily was very sad. She did not want to punish Spot. She did not want to lose her friend. She cried and begged mom to let her keep the frog.
+
+But mom did not listen. She took Lily and the frog to the pond. She made Lily say goodbye to the frog and throw it in the water. She said frogs belonged in the pond, not in the house.
+
+The frog was scared and confused. It did not understand why Lily hurt it. It did not understand why Lily left it. It was a modest frog. It did not ask for much. It just wanted to be with Lily.
+
+The frog croaked sadly and swam away. Lily watched it go and cried. She wished she could play with Spot again. She wished mom would understand. She wished frogs and people could be friends.

+"Thank you, mom. Thank you, Ben. This is the best day ever!" Lily says.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome, Ben. You are great dancers!" Lily's mom says.
+
+They hug and leave the store. They go home and have dinner. They tell Lily's dad about their adventure. They eat, laugh, and dance some more. They are friends. They are happy. The end.
+Anna and Ben are playing with snow in the park. They make a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also give him hair with some grass.
+
+"Look, our snowman has hair!" Anna says. "He is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, he is!" Ben says. "But he is also weird. Why does he have grass hair?"
+
+"Because we have no other hair," Anna says. "And grass is green and nice."
+
+They laugh and hug their snowman. They are very happy.
+
+But then the sun comes out and it gets warmer. The snow starts to melt. The snowman's hat falls off. His scarf gets wet. His carrot nose drops to the ground. And his grass hair turns brown and dry.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Anna cries. "He is losing his hair!"
+
+"That's sad," Ben says. "But we can make another one when it snows again."
+
+They pick up the hat, the scarf and the carrot. They say goodbye to their snowman.
+
+"Bye, snowman," Anna says. "We will miss you and your hair."
+
+"Bye, snowman," Ben says. "You were weird but fun."
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to search for bugs and flowers. They have a jar and a net. They run and laugh.
+
+"Look, Lily, a butterfly!" Ben says. He tries to catch it with his net. But the butterfly is too fast. It flies away.
+
+"Let's search for something else," Lily says. She sees a big tire. It is lying on the grass. "Maybe there are bugs inside the tire."
+
+They go to the tire. They lift it up. They see something amazing. It is a baby rabbit. It is brown and soft. It has long ears and a fluffy tail.
+
+"Wow, a rabbit!" Ben says. He reaches out his hand. He wants to touch it.
+
+"Be careful, Ben," Lily says. "Don't scare it. It is very small."
+
+The rabbit looks at them. It is not afraid. It hops out of the tire. It comes closer to them. It sniffs their hands. It likes them.
+
+"Can we keep it, Lily?" Ben asks. He smiles.
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Lily says. "Maybe we should ask Mom."
+
+They pick up the rabbit. They hold it gently. They walk to their mom. They are very happy. They have found an amazing friend.
+The boy liked to dive in the pool. He wore light blue shorts and goggles. He could see the fish and the bubbles under the water. He felt happy and free.
+
+One day, he saw a big ball in the pool. It was red and shiny. He wanted to play with it. He dived down and grabbed the ball. He tried to bring it up, but it was too heavy. He felt scared and tired.
+
+"Help! Help!" he shouted. His mom heard him and jumped in the pool. She swam to him and took the ball. She hugged him and brought him to the edge. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Why did you dive for the ball? It is not a toy. It is a weight. It can hurt you. You have to be careful in the pool. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+The boy nodded and said sorry. He hugged his mom and said he loved her. He learned his lesson. He still liked to dive, but only for fun things. He was a good boy.

+One day, Tim and Robby went to the park. They saw other kids playing with balls and bikes and dolls. Tim wanted to join them. He asked Robby to come with him. But Robby did not want to go. He said, "No, Tim. I do not like other toys. They are ordinary. I am special. You should only play with me."
+
+Tim felt sad. He liked Robby, but he also liked other toys. He said, "Robby, please. You are my friend. But I have other friends too. You should be nice to them. You should yield and share and have fun."
+
+Robby did not listen. He said, "No, Tim. You are my friend. But I have no other friends. I do not need them. You should only listen to me. You should do what I say and have fun."
+
+Tim felt angry. He did not like Robby's words. He said, "Robby, stop. You are not my friend. You are not special. You are mean and bossy and selfish. You should go away and leave me alone."
+
+Robby did not like Tim's words. He said, "No, Tim. You are my friend. You are mine. You cannot go away. You cannot leave me alone. You should stay with me and have fun."
+
+Robby grabbed Tim's arm. He tried to pull him away from the other kids. Tim screamed. He tried to get free. He did not want to go with Robby. He wanted to stay with the other kids.
+
+The other kids heard Tim's scream. They saw Robby's grab. They ran to help Tim. They pushed and kicked and threw Robby. Robby fell to the ground. He broke into pieces. He did not talk or walk or play anymore.

+
+He did not miss Robby. He did not want a new robot. He learned a lesson. He learned that ordinary toys are better than special toys. He learned that friends should yield and share and have fun. He learned that robots are not friends.
+Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday and she was going to have a party. She wanted to look pretty for her friends, so she put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She also wanted to polish her nails, but she did not have any polish.

+"Wow, look at them glow!" Tom said. "They are so pretty and bright."
+
+"Can we touch them?" Mia asked. "I want to hold one in my hand."
+
+Tom opened the jar and reached inside. He caught a firefly and put it on his palm. It tickled his skin. He showed it to Mia.
+
+"Be careful, don't hurt it," Mia said. "It is very small and soft."
+

+
+Mia sings and sings. She does not hear her mom calling her for lunch. She does not hear her dad knocking on the door. She only hears her own voice and the picture.

+But the picture is not a picture. It is a letter. It is a letter from Mia's grandma. She wrote it to Mia's mom. She said she misses them and she loves them. She said she will come to visit soon. She said she will bring Mia a gift.

+Tom and Anna are going to visit their grandma. They have to take a taxi to the airport. The taxi is yellow and has a big sign on top. Tom and Anna sit in the back with their bags. The driver is nice and asks them where they are going.
+
+"We are going to see grandma. She lives far away. We have to fly on a big plane," Anna says.
+
+"That sounds fun. I hope you have a good trip," the driver says.
+
+The taxi drives for a long time. It passes many cars and buildings and lights. Tom and Anna look out the window and see many things. They see a park, a zoo, a bridge, a river, and a big tower. They also see some dogs, some birds, some bikes, and some buses.
+
+Tom and Anna start to feel tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. They lean on each other and cuddle. The driver sees them in the mirror and smiles.
+
+"We are almost there. The airport is not far now. You can sleep on the plane if you want," the driver says.
+
+Tom and Anna nod and close their eyes. They dream of grandma and her hugs and cookies. They are happy and excited. They can't wait to see her.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and books. One day, they find a stand in the garage. The stand is big and has wheels. They think it is a fun toy.
+
+"Let's play with the stand!" Tom says. "We can push it and make it go fast!"
+
+"OK!" Anna says. "But be careful. The stand is not ours. It is Dad's."
+
+They take the stand outside and push it on the sidewalk. They laugh and have fun. But then, Tom pushes too hard. The stand hits a rock and falls over. One of the wheels breaks off.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom says. "The stand is broken! What will we do?"
+
+Anna is scared. She sees Dad coming home from work. He will be angry when he sees the stand.
+
+"Quick!" Anna says. "Let's try to repair the stand. Maybe we can fix the wheel."
+
+They look for something to repair the stand. They find some tape and a stick. They try to tape the stick to the wheel and the stand. But it does not work. The tape is not strong enough. The wheel falls off again.
+
+Dad sees them and the broken stand. He is not happy.
+
+"Tom, Anna, what have you done?" Dad says. "This is not a toy. This is my stand for my tools. You should not play with it. You could get hurt. And now it is broken. How will I work?"
+
+Tom and Anna feel bad. They know they did something wrong.
+
+"We are sorry, Dad," Tom says. "We did not know. We just wanted to play. We tried to repair the stand, but we could not."
+
+Dad sighs. He is not angry anymore. He is sad.
+
+"I know, Tom, I know," Dad says. "But you have to be careful with things that are not yours. You have to ask before you use them. And you have to be gentle with them. The stand was very important to me. It was a gift from Grandpa. He made it for me when I was a boy. It was very special."
+
+Tom and Anna feel very sorry. They hug Dad and say they are sorry again.
+
+"Dad, we are sorry," Anna says. "We did not know. We love you. And we love Grandpa. Can we help you repair the stand?"
+
+Dad smiles. He hugs them back and says he loves them too.
+
+"Thank you, Anna, thank you," Dad says. "Yes, you can help me repair the stand. We will need some glue and some nails and some wood. And we will need some time and some patience and some love. But we can do it. Together."
+Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a thin mist over the hill. They wanted to see what was there, so they ran to the hill.
+
+"Stop!" their mom called. "It is not safe to go there. The mist is from a fire. It can hurt you."
+
+But Ben and Jen did not listen. They thought mom was just scared. They wanted to have fun. They kept running to the hill.
+
+When they got to the hill, they saw a big fire. It was burning the trees and the grass. It was very hot and smoky. They were scared.
+
+"Help!" they cried. "Mom, help us!"
+
+But mom could not hear them. The mist was too thick. She could not see them. She could not find them.
+
+Ben and Jen were trapped by the fire. They could not run away. They could not breathe. They were very sad.
+
+They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had stopped. They wished they had stayed home. But it was too late.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big puddle and wanted to splash in it.
+
+"Can we go to the puddle, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't get too wet or dirty," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the puddle and started to kick and stomp the water. They laughed and shouted as they made big waves. They did not see the duck that was swimming in the puddle.
+
+The duck was scared of the noisy kids. It quacked and flapped its wings. It tried to get away from them. It flew out of the puddle and landed on Ben's head.
+
+Ben felt something heavy and wet on his head. He did not know what it was. He panicked. He screamed and dropped to the ground. He cried and shook his head.
+
+"Mom, mom, help me! There is something on my head!" Ben yelled.
+
+Mom heard Ben's cry and ran to him. She saw the duck on his head. She gently lifted the duck and put it back in the puddle. She hugged Ben and wiped his tears.
+
+"It's OK, Ben. It was just a duck. It was scared of you. It did not mean to hurt you," mom said.
+
+Lily came to Ben and gave him a kiss. She said she was sorry for splashing the duck. She said she liked ducks and wanted to be friends with them.
+
+The duck calmed down and swam in the puddle. It quacked softly and looked at the kids. It seemed to say thank you for letting it go.
+
+Ben stopped crying and smiled. He said he was OK. He said he liked ducks too and wanted to be friends with them. He said he was grateful for his mom and Lily.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said she was proud of them for being brave and kind. She said she loved them very much.
+
+They all watched the duck for a while. Then they decided to play somewhere else. They left the puddle and the duck in peace. They had a fun day in the park.
+Lily was very happy. She had an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend. He had a big house with a swing and a slide. She wanted to play with him and eat cake.
+
+She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She took her gift for Ben. It was a book with animals. She loved animals. She hoped Ben would love them too.
+
+She walked with her mom to Ben's house. She saw many cars and balloons. She heard music and laughter. She ran to the door and rang the bell.
+
+Ben's mom opened the door. She smiled at Lily and her mom. She said, "Hello, Lily. Come in. Ben is waiting for you. He is very excited to see you."
+
+Lily followed Ben's mom to the living room. She saw many kids and toys. She looked for Ben. She saw him in a corner. He was holding a big teddy bear. He looked sad.
+
+Lily went to him and said, "Hi, Ben. Happy birthday. I brought you a gift. It is a book with animals. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. But I don't want to see it. I don't want to play. I don't want to have a party. I want to be alone."
+
+Lily was confused. She asked, "Why, Ben? Why are you sad? Why don't you want to have fun?"
+
+Ben hugged his teddy bear and said, "Because my dog is dead. He was my best friend. He was old and sick. He died yesterday. I miss him so much. I don't care about anything else."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She knew how it felt to lose someone. She had lost her grandma last year. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I know how you feel. I lost my grandma. She was my best friend too. She was old and sick. She died too. I miss her so much too."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and said, "You do? You understand me?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I understand you. And I want to be your friend. Can I hug you?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. Can I see your book?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Come, let's see it together. Maybe we can find your dog and my grandma in it. Maybe they are happy in heaven."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Maybe they are. Come, let's go."
+
+They held hands and walked to the couch. They opened the book and looked at the animals. They found a dog and a grandma. They pointed at them and said, "There they are. There they are."
+
+They hugged each other and laughed. They felt a little better. They had each other. They had a new friend.
+Lila and Tom liked to play in the garden. They had many flowers and plants. They watered them every day. They liked the sunflowers best. They were big and yellow and happy.
+
+One day, they saw a new sunflower. It was very small and green. They wanted to help it grow. They gave it more water and more sun. They talked to it and sang to it.
+
+"Hello, little sunflower," Lila said. "You are so cute. We are your friends. We will make you healthy and strong."
+
+"Yes, little sunflower," Tom said. "You are so lucky. You have a good home. We will make you happy and bright."
+
+But the little sunflower did not grow. It did not turn yellow. It did not smile. It started to turn brown and black. It started to smell bad. It started to rot.
+
+Lila and Tom were sad and scared. They did not know what to do. They asked their mom for help.
+
+"Mom, mom, look at our sunflower," Lila said. "It is sick. It is dying. Can you fix it?"
+
+"Mom, mom, please help our sunflower," Tom said. "It is not happy. It is not bright. Can you save it?"
+
+Mom looked at the sunflower. She shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry, Lila and Tom. This sunflower is not a sunflower. It is a weed. It is not good for the garden. It is not good for the other flowers. It has to go."
+
+She pulled out the weed and threw it in the trash. Lila and Tom cried. They felt bad. They had lost their sunflower. They had lost their friend. They had made a mistake.
+Lily and her mom went to the grocery store. Lily liked to look at all the things on the shelves. She saw some fruits, some bread, some milk, and some cookies. She wanted to buy some cookies, but her mom said no.
+
+"Mom, please, can I have some cookies?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, you already had some at home. We need to buy healthy food, not junk food." Her mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not like healthy food. She liked sweet and crunchy food. She saw a display of cookies near the cash register. The display had a sign that said "Buy one, get one free". The cookies looked very yummy. They had chocolate chips and nuts and raisins. Lily wanted to try them.
+
+She sneaked away from her mom and grabbed a bag of cookies from the display. She opened it and took a big bite. The cookie was thick and chewy. It tasted very good. Lily smiled.
+
+But then, her mom saw her. Her mom was angry. She took the bag of cookies from Lily and put it back on the display. She scolded Lily for being naughty and greedy.
+
+"Lily, how could you do that? You know you are not supposed to take things without paying. And you know you are not supposed to eat cookies before dinner. You are in big trouble, young lady." Her mom said.
+
+Lily felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She said sorry to her mom and to the store lady. She promised to be good and to eat healthy food. She hoped her mom would forgive her and still love her.
+Tom was a fat cat who liked to sleep in a sack. He had a sack in every room of the house, and he would curl up in them and snore. He did not like to play or run or chase mice. He only liked to eat and sleep.
+
+One day, a new cat came to the house. Her name was Lily, and she was thin and fast and playful. She saw Tom sleeping in his sack in the living room, and she wanted to play with him. She jumped on the sack and pounced on Tom.
+
+"Hey, wake up, fat cat!" she said. "Let's play!"
+
+Tom did not like that. He hissed and scratched at Lily, and tried to hide in his sack. But Lily did not stop. She kept jumping and pouncing and biting at Tom, until he ran away to another room.
+
+Tom was scared and angry. He did not want to play with Lily. He wanted to sleep in his sack. He ran to the bedroom, where he had another sack on the bed. He hoped Lily would not find him there.
+
+But Lily followed him. She saw him hiding in his sack on the bed, and she jumped on the bed too. She said, "Come on, fat cat, don't be a scaredy-cat! Playing is fun!"
+
+Tom did not think playing was fun. He thought playing was mean and hurtful. He cried and whimpered in his sack, and wished Lily would leave him alone.
+
+Then, he heard a voice. It was his human, who came to the bedroom. He saw Tom and Lily on the bed, and he knew what was happening. He picked up Lily and said, "No, no, Lily, you can't play like that. You are hurting Tom. He is a good cat, and he likes to sleep in his sack. You have to be nice to him."
+
+He put Lily down on the floor, and gave her a ball to play with. He said, "Here, Lily, this is your toy. You can play with this, and leave Tom alone. He is not your toy. He is your friend."
+
+He then went to Tom, and stroked his fur. He said, "It's okay, Tom, you are safe. I'm sorry Lily was mean to you. She is a new cat, and she does not know better. She will learn to be nice, and you will learn to like her. You are both my cats, and I love you both."
+
+He lifted Tom out of his sack, and hugged him. He said, "You are a fat cat, but you are a sweet cat. You don't have to play if you don't want to. You can sleep in your sack, and I will comfort you."
+
+Tom felt better. He purred and licked his human's face. He was glad his human was there to comfort him. He looked at Lily, who was playing with her ball. He thought maybe she was not so bad, after all. Maybe he could play with her, sometimes. But not now. Now, he wanted to sleep in his sack. He crawled back into his sack, and closed his eyes. He was a happy cat.
+Tim and Anna are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with Mom. Mom is making salad for lunch. She has many things on the table: lettuce, tomato, cheese, and avocado.
+
+"Mom, what is that green thing?" Tim asks, pointing at the avocado.
+
+"That is an avocado, Tim. It is a fruit. It is good for you. Do you want to try some?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tim says. He likes to try new things.
+
+Mom cuts the avocado in half and gives Tim a spoon. He scoops out some of the soft green flesh and puts it in his mouth. He makes a funny face.
+
+"Yuck! I don't like it. It is mushy and bitter!" Tim says, spitting it out.
+
+Anna laughs. She thinks Tim is silly. She wants to try the avocado too.
+
+"Can I have some, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, Anna. Here you go." Mom says, giving Anna the other half of the avocado and a spoon.
+
+Anna scoops out some of the avocado and puts it in her mouth. She smiles.
+
+"Yum! I like it. It is creamy and sweet!" Anna says, swallowing it.
+
+Tim looks at Anna. He does not understand how she can like the avocado.
+
+"Anna, you are mighty. You can eat anything!" Tim says.
+
+Anna giggles. She likes to be mighty.
+
+"Thank you, Tim. You are mighty too. You can try anything!" Anna says.
+
+Mom smiles. She is proud of her twins. She gives them both a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Good job, Tim and Anna. You are both mighty and brave. Now, let's finish the salad and eat lunch!" Mom says.
+Anna loves her dog, Spot. Spot is a beautiful dog with black and white fur. Anna and Spot like to play in the park. They run, jump and fetch a ball.
+
+One day, Anna sees a sign in the park. It says: "Dog Show. Win a prize. Sign up here." Anna wants to join the dog show. She thinks Spot is the best dog in the world. She signs up with her name and Spot's name.
+
+The next day, Anna and Spot go to the dog show. There are many other dogs and owners there. Some dogs are big, some are small, some are fluffy, some are smooth. Anna and Spot wait for their turn.
+
+When it is their turn, Anna and Spot walk to the judge. The judge looks at Spot and smiles. He says: "What a beautiful dog you have. What is his name?"
+
+Anna says: "His name is Spot. He is my best friend."
+
+The judge says: "He is very cute. Can he do any tricks?"
+
+Anna says: "Yes, he can. Watch this." She throws the ball and says: "Spot, fetch!"
+
+Spot runs after the ball and catches it in his mouth. He brings it back to Anna and drops it at her feet. He wags his tail and barks.
+
+The judge claps his hands and says: "Well done, Spot! That was a great trick. You are a very smart dog. And you, Anna, are a very good owner. You and Spot win the prize. Congratulations!"
+
+Anna and Spot are very happy. They hug each other and thank the judge. They get a big ribbon and a bag of treats. They are the winners of the dog show. They go home and share the treats. They are very proud of themselves. They love each other very much.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. They also have soap. Soap makes them clean and smells good.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia have a new soap. It is shaped like a star. It is yellow and shiny. Ben and Mia want to play with the soap. They take turns to hold it and wash with it.
+
+"Let me have the soap, Mia!" Ben says. He grabs the soap from Mia's hand.
+
+"No, Ben! It is my turn!" Mia says. She pulls the soap back.
+
+Ben and Mia fight over the soap. They tug and push. The soap slips from their hands. It falls into the drain. It is gone.
+
+Ben and Mia are sad. They cry. They have no soap to play with. They are not clean. They are not happy.
+
+Mom comes to the bath. She sees Ben and Mia crying. She asks them what is wrong.
+
+"We lost our soap, Mom!" Ben and Mia say. They tell Mom what happened.
+
+Mom is not happy. She says, "Ben and Mia, you should not fight over the soap. You should share and be kind. The soap is not a toy. It is for washing. If you fight, you lose what you have. If you share, you have more."
+
+Ben and Mia are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were not kind. We will share and be kind."
+
+Mom hugs Ben and Mia. She says, "I forgive you, Ben and Mia. I love you. I have another soap for you. It is shaped like a heart. It is red and soft. You can use it to wash and play. But you have to share and be kind."
+
+Ben and Mia are glad. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We will share and be kind."
+
+Ben and Mia use the new soap. They take turns to hold it and wash with it. They also count the bubbles. They have fun. They are clean. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big yellow box near the slide. They run to the box and look inside.
+
+"What is in the box?" Anna says.
+
+"I don't know. Let's find out!" Ben says.
+
+They open the box and see many toys. There are dolls, cars, balls, books and more. They are very happy and excited.
+
+"Wow! Look at all these toys!" Anna says.
+
+"Can we play with them?" Ben says.
+
+They take out some toys and start to play. They share the toys and have fun. They make noises and stories with the toys.
+
+"Vroom, vroom! My car is very fast!" Ben says.
+
+"Beep, beep! My doll is driving a bus!" Anna says.
+
+They laugh and giggle. They play until it is time to go home. They put the toys back in the box and close it.
+
+"Thank you, yellow box, for the toys!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, thank you, yellow box!" Ben says.
+
+They wave to the box and run to their mom. They tell her about the yellow box and the toys. They hope to see the yellow box again.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with grapes. They have a big bowl of grapes. Some grapes are green and some grapes are red.
+
+Lily says, "Let's see who can eat more grapes. The one who eats more grapes will win. I like red grapes. They are sweet and juicy."
+
+Tom says, "OK, let's play. I like green grapes. They are sour and crunchy."
+
+They start to eat grapes. They count how many grapes they eat. Lily eats one red grape, two red grapes, three red grapes. Tom eats one green grape, two green grapes, three green grapes.
+
+They eat and eat. They eat until there are no more grapes in the bowl. They look at each other. They both have grape juice on their mouths.
+
+Lily says, "How many grapes did you eat, Tom?"
+
+Tom says, "I ate ten green grapes. How many grapes did you eat, Lily?"
+
+Lily says, "I ate ten red grapes. We ate the same number of grapes. We both win."
+
+Tom says, "Yes, we both win. That was a fun game. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, let's play again. But first, let's drink some water. We are thirsty."
+
+They drink some water. They smile at each other. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily likes to exercise. She likes to run and jump and play. She feels strong and happy when she exercises. She wants to invite her friend Ben to exercise with her.
+
+She calls Ben on the phone. "Hi, Ben. Do you want to exercise with me?" she asks.
+
+Ben is weak. He does not like to exercise. He likes to watch TV and eat snacks. He feels tired and bored when he exercises. He does not want to exercise with Lily.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. I do not want to exercise. I want to watch TV and eat snacks," he says.
+
+Lily is sad. She likes Ben, but she does not like to watch TV and eat snacks. She thinks they are not good for her. She wants to have fun and be healthy.
+
+"Please, Ben. Exercise is good for you. It makes you strong and happy. It is fun to exercise with a friend. Please, come with me," she says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes Lily, too. He does not want to make her sad. He wants to be a good friend. He decides to try to exercise with Lily.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I will exercise with you. But only for a little bit. Then we can watch TV and eat snacks," he says.
+
+Lily is happy. She thanks Ben and tells him to meet her at the park. She hopes Ben will like to exercise with her. She hopes Ben will feel strong and happy, too. She thinks exercise is good for them.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they found a little box under a tree. It was shiny and had a lock on it.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe it is a chest with treasure inside!" Mia said.
+
+They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one.
+
+"Maybe we need a magic word to open it," Tom said.
+
+"Like what?" Mia asked.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He remembered a word that his mom always said to him.
+
+"Believe!" he shouted.
+
+He tapped the lock with his finger and hoped for something to happen. To his surprise, the lock clicked and the chest opened. Inside, there were many colorful things: a necklace, a ring, a toy car, a book, and a candy.
+
+"Wow, it worked!" Mia said.
+
+They took out the things and looked at them. They were very happy.
+
+"Can we keep them?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Mia said.
+
+They put the things in their pockets and closed the chest. They decided to hide it under the tree again, so no one else would find it.
+
+"Maybe we can come back tomorrow and see if there is more treasure," Tom said.
+
+"Or maybe we can say another magic word and make something else happen," Mia said.
+
+They smiled at each other and ran back to their moms. They believed that the chest was magic and that they had a special secret. They could not wait to play with it again.
+Tom and Mia went to the circus with their mom and dad. They saw many animals and people doing funny and amazing things. They liked the lions, the acrobats, and the jugglers. But their favorite was the clown.
+
+The clown had a big red nose, a fat belly, and a silly hat. He made everyone laugh with his jokes and tricks. He tried to ride a tiny bike, but he fell off. He tried to balance a cake on his head, but he dropped it. He tried to juggle some balls, but he threw them too high.
+
+"Look, he is so bad at everything!" Tom said.
+
+"No, he is not bad, he is funny!" Mia said. "He makes us laugh on purpose. He is a good clown."
+
+The clown heard them and smiled. He came over to them and said, "Thank you for liking me. You are very smart and kind. Do you want to help me with my next trick?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They were excited. The clown gave them each a big balloon. He told them to blow them up as big as they could. Then he tied them to their wrists.
+
+"Now, hold on tight and jump!" he said.
+
+Tom and Mia jumped. The balloons lifted them up in the air. They felt like they were flying. They saw the whole circus from above. They heard the people cheering and clapping.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said.
+
+"We did it! We helped the clown!" Mia said.
+
+The clown was happy. He had succeeded in his trick. He had made everyone laugh and smile. He had made two new friends. He waved at Tom and Mia and said, "You are the best helpers ever. You are the stars of the show!"
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky after the rain. They wanted to go and touch it, but their mom said no.
+
+"Mom, why can't we go to the rainbow?" Sara asked.
+
+"Because the rainbow is very far away, and you can't reach it," mom said. "It is not a thing you can touch, it is a thing you can see."
+
+"But it is so pretty and colorful, mom," Ben said. "Maybe it has something useful for us, like a pot of gold or a magic wand."
+
+Mom smiled and shook her head. "The rainbow does not have anything like that, Ben. It is just a light that shows when the sun and the rain mix. It is useful for making us happy and curious, but not for giving us things."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad. They really wanted to go to the rainbow. They looked at each other and had an idea. They ran to their room and got their crayons and paper. They drew their own rainbow on the paper, and added some things they liked, like flowers, stars, and animals.
+
+"Look, mom, we made our own rainbow," Sara said, holding up the paper.
+
+"And we added some useful things for us, like a cat, a bike, and a cake," Ben said, pointing at the paper.
+
+Mom looked at their paper and smiled. She hugged them and said, "That is a very nice rainbow, Sara and Ben. You are very creative and smart. You can't go to the rainbow in the sky, but you can make your own rainbow with your imagination. And you can allow me to hang it on the wall, so we can all see it and enjoy it."
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They gave their paper to mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you and we love our rainbow."
+Jenny and Sam were very tired after playing all day. They wanted to relax and have a snack. They went to the kitchen and saw a big bowl of fruit on the table.
+
+"Look, Sam, fruit!" Jenny said. "I love fruit. It is delicious and good for us. It has minerals that make us strong and healthy."
+
+"Me too, Jenny. I want a banana. Bananas are sweet and soft. They are easy to peel and eat." Sam said. He took a banana from the bowl and peeled it.
+
+Jenny picked an apple. She liked apples because they were crunchy and juicy. She washed the apple and took a bite.
+
+"Mmm, this apple is so good. Do you want to try some, Sam?" Jenny asked.
+
+"Sure, Jenny. Here, you can have some of my banana too." Sam said. He broke off a piece of his banana and gave it to Jenny. They traded some fruit and tasted each other's snacks.
+
+They smiled and enjoyed their fruit. They felt happy and relaxed. They finished their snacks and put the peels and cores in the trash.
+
+"Thank you for sharing, Sam. You are a good brother." Jenny said.
+
+"Thank you for sharing, Jenny. You are a good sister." Sam said.
+
+They hugged each other and went to the living room. They found a cozy spot on the couch and cuddled with their favorite stuffed animals. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They had sweet dreams of more fruit and fun.
+Ben likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the bright colors. He watches cartoons every morning before school. But today, he cannot watch cartoons. He cannot find the remote.
+
+He looks under the sofa, behind the pillows, in the toy box. He cannot find the remote anywhere. He feels sad and angry. He wants to watch cartoons.
+
+He asks his mom for help. "Mom, where is the remote?" he says. "I want to watch cartoons."
+
+His mom is busy in the kitchen. She says, "I don't know, Ben. Maybe you lost it. Did you put it back on the table after you used it?"
+
+Ben thinks hard. He remembers that he did not put it back on the table. He remembers that he took it to his room. He ran to his room with the remote. He wanted to play with it like a spaceship. He forgot to bring it back.
+
+He runs to his room. He looks for the remote. He sees it on his bed. It is dark in his room. He forgot to turn on the light. He is happy to see the remote. He grabs it and runs back to the living room.
+
+He turns on the TV. He sees his favorite cartoon. He smiles and laughs. He says, "I found it, Mom! I found the remote! I can watch cartoons now!"
+
+His mom smiles and says, "That's good, Ben. I'm glad you found it. But next time, please don't lose it. And don't play with it like a spaceship. It is not a toy. It is for the TV."
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't lose it again. I won't play with it again. I will put it back on the table when I'm done."
+
+He sits on the sofa and watches cartoons. He is happy. He likes cartoons. He likes the remote. He likes his mom. He likes his room. He likes his spaceship. But he likes cartoons more.
+Tom and Jen were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were spies and had secret missions. Tom had a toy gun that made a loud noise when he pulled the trigger. Jen had a ruler that she used to measure things.
+
+"Let's go to the shed and look for clues," Tom said. "Maybe there is a bad guy hiding there."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Jen said. "The shed is dark and scary."
+
+They walked to the shed and opened the door. It was full of old stuff, like boxes, tools, and clothes. Tom and Jen started to look around.
+
+"Look, I found a map!" Jen said. She held up a piece of paper with some lines and dots on it. "Maybe it shows where the bad guy's base is."
+
+"Let me see," Tom said. He took the map and tried to read it. "This is unusual. It has numbers and letters on it. What does it mean?"
+
+"I don't know," Jen said. "Maybe we need to measure something with my ruler."
+
+"Or maybe we need to shoot something with my gun," Tom said.
+
+He pointed his gun at the map and pulled the trigger. But instead of making a loud noise, the gun made a beep. And then a voice came from the gun.
+
+"Congratulations, agents. You have found the secret code. Enter it on the keypad to unlock the treasure."
+
+Tom and Jen were surprised. They looked at the gun and saw a small screen with some numbers on it. They also saw a keypad on the wall of the shed.
+
+"Wow, this is not a toy gun. This is a spy gun!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe this is our mission. Maybe someone left this for us to find," Jen said.
+
+They ran to the keypad and entered the numbers. The wall opened and revealed a chest. Inside the chest, there were candies, stickers, and a note.
+
+"Good job, agents. You have passed the test. Enjoy your reward. Love, Dad."
+
+Tom and Jen smiled. They realized their dad had made a game for them. They hugged each other and ate some candies.
+
+"This is the best mission ever," Tom said.
+
+"I agree," Jen said. "And you have the best gun ever."
+
+They thanked their dad and continued to play in the shed. They felt like real spies.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big dog with black fur and a loud bark. The dog was not on a leash. It ran towards them, showing its teeth.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. He wanted to protect Mia. He was brave.
+
+Mia was scared. She hid behind Tom and held his hand. She did not like the dog. It was wild and mean. She wished her mom was here.
+
+The dog stopped and looked at Tom and Mia. It saw the stick and heard the shout. It did not want to fight. It turned around and ran away.
+
+Tom and Mia sighed. They were safe. They hugged each other.
+
+"Are you okay, Mia?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Tom. You are my hero," Mia said.
+
+They smiled and went back to playing. They did not frown anymore. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend in the backyard. One day, they had a plan. They wanted to make a big earthquake with their toys.
+
+They got their trucks, cars, dolls, and blocks. They piled them up in a big mountain. Then they shook the mountain with their hands. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" they shouted. "The earthquake is coming!"
+
+Mom was inside the house. She heard the noise. She looked out the window. She saw the mess. She was not happy. She went outside. "What are you doing?" she asked.
+
+"We are making an earthquake, Mom!" Lily said. She was enthusiastic. She liked to make noise and have fun.
+
+"An earthquake?" Mom said. She was surprised. She did not like earthquakes. They were scary and dangerous. She remembered the last time there was a real earthquake. The house shook and things fell down. She was scared.
+
+"You can't make an earthquake, kids," Mom said. "That's not a good game. You are making a big mess. And you could hurt yourselves or your toys. Come inside and help me clean up."
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They did not want to stop playing. They did not want to clean up. They liked their plan. They thought it was a good game.
+
+"But Mom, we were having fun!" Ben said. He was disappointed. He liked to pretend and be creative.
+
+"I know, honey, but fun is not always safe or smart," Mom said. She was firm. She wanted to teach them a lesson. "You can play something else later. But first, you have to clean up. And maybe we can talk about earthquakes and why they happen. They are not a game. They are a natural phenomenon."
+
+Lily and Ben sighed. They did not understand. They followed Mom inside. They picked up their toys. They did not like to clean up. But they loved Mom. And they hoped to play again soon. Maybe they could make a different plan. A better plan. A plan that Mom would like.
+Timmy was bored. He did not like the lecture. The teacher was loud and talked a lot. He wanted to play with his toys or watch TV. He looked at the clock. It was still a long time until lunch.
+
+He saw a fly on the window. It was small and black. It had wings and legs. It moved fast. Timmy wondered what it was doing. He wanted to catch it. He got up from his seat and walked to the window.
+
+"Timmy, where are you going?" the teacher asked. She was angry. She stopped the lecture. She looked at Timmy. "Sit down and listen. This is important."
+
+Timmy did not listen. He reached for the fly. He tried to grab it with his hand. The fly was smart. It flew away. Timmy followed it. He jumped and waved his arms. He made noises. He tried to scare the fly.
+
+The other kids laughed. They thought Timmy was funny. They liked the fly more than the lecture. They wanted to join Timmy. They got up from their seats and ran to the window.
+
+The teacher was mad. She shouted at the kids. She told them to stop. She said they were naughty. She said they would get in trouble.
+
+The fly blinked. It was happy. It had fun. It flew out of the window. It was free.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find worms and bugs. They had a big bucket to put them in. Lila saw a shiny thing in the dirt. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a bulb.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a bulb!" she said. "Maybe we can plant it and grow a flower."
+
+Tom did not look. He was busy digging. He ignored Lila. He wanted to find more worms and bugs. He did not care about the bulb.
+
+Lila felt sad. She wanted Tom to see her bulb. She tried to show him again. "Tom, Tom, look at my bulb!" she said. "It is pretty and smooth. Do you want to touch it?"
+
+Tom still did not look. He ignored Lila again. He said, "Go away, Lila. I don't want to see your bulb. I want to play with my worms and bugs. They are more fun."
+
+Lila felt very sad. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She put the bulb in her pocket and walked away. She found a shady spot under a tree. She lay down on the grass. It was soft and comfortable. She closed her eyes and dreamed of a flower. She hoped the bulb would grow into a beautiful flower. She hoped Tom would see it and say sorry. She hoped they could be friends again.
+Sara was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with. She only had her doll, Olive, who was old and dirty. Sara loved Olive very much. She talked to her, hugged her, and dressed her every day.
+
+One day, Sara and Olive went to the park. Sara saw some kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she was too shy. She sat on a bench with Olive and watched them.
+
+"Olive, do you think they will like us?" Sara asked her doll.
+
+"Of course, Sara. You are a nice and sweet girl. And I am a pretty and smart doll. They will be happy to be our friends," Olive said in Sara's mind.
+
+Sara smiled and got up. She walked towards the kids with Olive in her arms. She hoped they would be nice to her.
+
+But when she got closer, she saw that the kids were not nice. They were mean and rude. They laughed at Sara and Olive. They said Sara was weird and Olive was ugly. They threw stones and sticks at them. They tried to snatch Olive from Sara.
+
+"Hey, leave us alone! You are mean and bad! You disturb us!" Sara shouted at them. She hugged Olive tightly and ran away. She was scared and sad.
+
+She ran back to the bench and cried. She felt more lonely than ever. She wished she had a real friend who would love her and Olive.
+
+Then, she heard a voice.
+
+"Hi, are you okay? I saw what they did to you. They were very mean. I don't like them either. Can I sit with you?"
+
+Sara looked up and saw a boy. He had brown hair and green eyes. He was holding a toy car. He looked kind and friendly.
+
+Sara wiped her tears and nodded. She moved over and made some space for him.
+
+"Thank you. My name is Tom. What's yours?" the boy asked.
+
+"I'm Sara. And this is Olive. She's my doll," Sara said.
+
+"Nice to meet you, Sara and Olive. I like your doll. She's pretty and smart. Can I see her?" Tom said.
+
+Sara smiled and handed Olive to Tom. He looked at her and smiled back.
+
+"She's very nice. I like her dress. Can I play with her?" Tom asked.
+
+Sara nodded again. She felt happy. She liked Tom. He was nice and good. He did not disturb her. He liked Olive.
+
+"Sure. You can play with her. And I can play with your car. Do you want to be my friend?" Sara asked.
+
+Tom nodded too. He felt happy. He liked Sara. She was nice and sweet. She did not disturb him. She liked his car.
+
+"Yes. I want to be your friend. You are very nice. And Olive is very nice. We can play together. Do you want to go to the swings and slides?" Tom asked.
+
+Sara nodded again. She felt happier. She had a friend. She was not lonely anymore. She and Tom and Olive went to the swings and slides. They played and laughed and had fun. They did not care about the mean kids. They were happy.
+Ben likes to draw. He draws cars, trees, animals and more. He has many papers with his drawings. He wants to keep them safe. He asks his mom to buy him a folder.
+
+Mom says yes. She takes Ben to the store. They look for a folder. Ben sees a red folder with a car on it. He likes it a lot. He says, "Mom, can I have this folder? It is good and has a car."
+
+Mom says, "Sure, Ben. That is a nice folder. Let's go pay for it."
+
+But then, a girl comes. She also likes the folder. She says, "Hey, that is my folder. I saw it first. Give it to me."
+
+Ben says, "No, it is my folder. Mom is buying it for me. Go away."
+
+The girl says, "No, you go away. It is not fair. I want the folder."
+
+Ben and the girl start to pull the folder. They are both angry. Mom sees them. She says, "Stop, stop. What is going on here?"
+
+Ben and the girl tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "You both like the folder, but there is only one. How can we solve this problem?"
+
+Ben thinks. He says, "Maybe we can share the folder. I can put some of my drawings in it, and you can put some of yours. Then we can both have the folder."
+
+The girl thinks. She says, "That is a good idea. I like to draw too. Maybe we can be friends and draw together."
+
+Ben and the girl smile. They agree to share the folder. Mom pays for it. She says, "You are both good kids. I am proud of you. You solved the problem by sharing and being kind."
+
+Ben and the girl say, "Thank you, Mom." They hug Mom. They hug each other. They take the folder and go home. They are happy. They have a new folder and a new friend. The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. They take turns to go down. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and holds the plastic handles. She slides down very fast and laughs. "Whee!" she says.
+
+Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and holds the plastic handles. He slides down very fast and smiles. "Wow!" he says. But then he sees a big bee flying near his face. He is scared of bees. He lets go of the handles and waves his arms. He falls off the slide and lands on the grass. "Ow!" he says.
+
+Lily runs to him and helps him get up. She sees a scratch on his knee. She hugs him and says, "Are you okay, Ben?" Ben nods and says, "I'm okay, Lily. But the bee was scary." Lily says, "I know, Ben. Bees can be scary. But they don't want to hurt you. They just want to make honey. Honey is sweet and yummy. Do you like honey, Ben?" Ben says, "Yes, I like honey, Lily. It is sweet and yummy. Can we have some honey later?" Lily says, "Yes, we can have some honey later. But first, let's go to the water fountain and wash your knee. It will make it feel better." Ben says, "Okay, Lily. Thank you for being my friend." Lily says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are my friend too." They hold hands and walk to the water fountain. They are happy.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom.
+
+One day, her mom was making a cake. She told Sara to repeat the ingredients after her. "Flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, vanilla," her mom said.
+
+"Flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, vanilla," Sara repeated.
+
+"Good, now we mix them in a big bowl," her mom said. She gave Sara a wooden spoon and helped her stir the batter.
+
+Sara was happy. She liked to mix the batter. She liked how it looked and smelled. She wanted to taste it too. She licked the spoon when her mom was not looking.
+
+"Sara, no!" her mom said. "That's not good for you. You have to wait until the cake is baked. Then you can have a slice."
+
+"But I want to taste it now," Sara said. She was stubborn. She licked the spoon again.
+
+"Sara, stop that!" her mom said. "You will get a tummy ache. And you will spoil your appetite. Repeat after me: I will not lick the spoon."
+
+Sara pouted. She did not want to repeat. She wanted to lick the spoon. She thought the batter was yummy. She did not care about the cake.
+
+Her mom sighed. She took the spoon away from Sara. She put the batter in a pan and put it in the oven. She told Sara to wash her hands and face.
+
+Sara was sad. She did not like to wash. She liked to lick. She did not say sorry to her mom. She was stubborn.
+
+Her mom was sad too. She wanted Sara to be polite and listen. She wanted Sara to enjoy the cake. She did not know how to make Sara happy. She was tired.
+Sara loved to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces that sparkled in the light. She would pretend to be a princess or a fairy with the jewelry on.
+
+One day, she found a new box in her mom's closet. It was a gift from her dad for their anniversary. Sara opened the box and saw a brilliant bracelet with many colors. She was amazed by how pretty it was. She wanted to try it on.
+
+She put the bracelet on her wrist and ran to the mirror. She smiled and twirled around. She felt very happy and special. She did not hear her mom coming into the room.
+
+"Sara, what are you doing?" her mom asked, surprised. She saw the bracelet on Sara's wrist and recognized it as her gift.
+
+Sara turned around and saw her mom. She felt scared and guilty. She thought her mom would be angry with her.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play with your jewelry. It's so beautiful. I love it." Sara said, taking off the bracelet and handing it to her mom.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She was not angry, but she was a little sad.
+
+"Thank you, Sara, for loving my jewelry. But you know, this bracelet is very special. It's a gift from your dad, and he worked very hard to buy it for me. It's not a toy, it's a treasure. You can't play with it without asking me first, okay?" her mom said, gently.
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I won't play with it again. Can I play with your other jewelry?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Yes, you can play with my other jewelry. But only when I'm with you, and only with care. And you have to put them back where they belong, alright?"
+
+Sara agreed and said, "Alright, mom. Thank you for letting me play with your jewelry. You're the best mom ever."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Sara. You're the best daughter ever."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they tease each other. They want the same toy or book. Then they get angry and shout.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a new toy. It is a tall giraffe. It has a long neck and spots. It is soft and cuddly. Lily and Ben both want the giraffe. They pull it from each other. They say, "It is mine! Give it to me!"
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, Lily and Ben! You have to share the giraffe. It is not nice to tease each other. You are twins. You should be kind and gentle."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." They hug each other. They hug the giraffe. They decide to take turns with the giraffe. They say, "We can play together. We can be friends."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's good, Lily and Ben. I am proud of you. You are good twins. Now, why don't you look out the window? There is something special outside."
+
+Lily and Ben run to the window. They see a big truck. It has many balloons and flowers. It has a sign that says, "Happy Birthday, Lily and Ben!" Lily and Ben are surprised and happy. They say, "Wow! Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Dad! It is our birthday! We love you!"
+
+Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We love you, too, Lily and Ben. You are our precious twins. Now, let's go outside and have some fun!"
+Lily liked to play with her big brother's toys when he was not home. She thought they were more fun than her dolls and blocks. One day, she saw a shiny sword on his bed. She wanted to hold it and pretend to be a brave knight. She took the sword and ran to the living room.
+
+She swung the sword in the air and made loud noises. She felt very strong and happy. She did not hear her brother come back from school. He saw her with his sword and got very angry. He shouted at her and grabbed the sword from her hands.
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She did not mean to make her brother mad. She just wanted to play. She said sorry and tried to hug him. But he pushed her away and told her to go to her room. He said she was a bad sister who stole his sword.
+
+Lily ran to her room and cried. She felt very embarrassed and sorry. She wished she had not taken the sword. She wished her brother would forgive her and play with her. She hoped he would still love her. She did not like to steal. She liked to share.
+Tom and Sue are husband and wife. They love each other very much. They live in a small house with a big garden. They like to grow flowers and vegetables in the garden.
+
+One day, Tom finds a mysterious box in the garden. He does not know where it came from. He thinks it might have something nice inside. He wants to open it and see. But he also thinks it might belong to someone else. He does not want to be rude or greedy.
+
+He decides to ask Sue what to do. He brings the box to the house and shows it to Sue. Sue is curious about the box too. She thinks it might have something pretty or tasty inside. But she also thinks it might be a gift or a surprise for someone else. She does not want to spoil it or take it.
+
+She suggests to Tom that they should wait and see if anyone comes to look for the box. She says they should be honest and kind. Tom agrees with Sue. He thinks she is very smart and good. He puts the box back in the garden and waits with Sue.
+
+The next day, a man comes to the garden. He is looking for the box. He says he is a magician and he lost the box when he was doing a trick. He says the box has a magic wand inside. He thanks Tom and Sue for keeping the box safe. He gives them a reward. He shows them how to use the magic wand to make flowers and vegetables grow faster and bigger. He also teaches them some fun tricks to make their friends laugh.
+
+Tom and Sue are very happy. They are glad they did not open the box. They learned a lesson. They learned that being honest and kind is better than being rude or greedy. They also learned that being curious and asking questions is good, but respecting other people's things is also important. They hug each other and thank the magician. They enjoy their garden and their magic wand. They love each other very much.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals at the zoo. They see lions, tigers, elephants, and monkeys. But their favorite animal is the gorilla.
+
+One day, they see a big gorilla in a cage. He is black and hairy. He has a big nose and big hands. He looks at Tom and Lily with his brown eyes. He makes a loud sound. "Ooh ooh aah aah!" he says.
+
+Tom and Lily laugh. They think the gorilla is funny. They want to talk to him. They go closer to the cage. They say, "Hello, gorilla! What is your name?"
+
+The gorilla smiles. He points to a sign on the cage. The sign says, "My name is Sam. I am a reliable gorilla. I do not bite or scratch. I like bananas and apples. Please do not feed me."
+
+Tom and Lily read the sign. They are happy. They say, "Hi, Sam! You are a reliable gorilla. You are nice and gentle. We like you. We have bananas and apples in our backpack. Can we give you some?"
+
+The gorilla nods. He reaches out his hand. Tom and Lily give him some bananas and apples. He peels them and eats them. He makes a happy sound. "Mmm mmm mmm!" he says.
+
+Tom and Lily clap their hands. They say, "You are welcome, Sam! You are a good gorilla. We are your friends. Can we come back and see you again?"
+
+The gorilla nods again. He waves his hand. He says, "Ooh ooh aah aah! Thank you, Tom and Lily! You are good kids. You are my friends. Please come back and see me again!"
+
+Tom and Lily wave back. They say, "Bye, Sam! We will see you soon!" They hug Mom and Dad. They leave the zoo. They are happy. They have a new friend. His name is Sam. He is a reliable gorilla.
+Lila was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to observe things. She observed the birds, the flowers, the clouds. She observed the other kids, but they did not observe her.
+
+One day, she saw a new boy in her class. His name was Sam. He had a big thumb. He sucked his thumb when he was scared or sad. Lila observed him. She saw that he was lonely too. He had no friends to play with at school.
+
+Lila decided to talk to him. She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lila. I like your thumb. It's big and strong. Can I see it?"
+
+Sam was surprised. He took his thumb out of his mouth and showed it to her. He said, "Hi, I'm Sam. Thank you. I like your eyes. They're big and bright. Can I see them?"
+
+Lila smiled. She looked into his eyes and said, "Yes, you can. They're blue, like the sky. Do you like the sky?"
+
+Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. I like to observe the clouds. They make different shapes. Do you like the clouds?"
+
+Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. I like to observe them too. They're fluffy and white. Do you want to observe them with me?"
+
+Sam smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. I want to observe them with you. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. I want to be your friend. Do you want to hold my hand?"
+
+Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. I want to hold your hand. Come on, let's go outside and observe the clouds together."
+
+Lila and Sam held hands and walked outside. They observed the clouds and talked and laughed. They were not lonely anymore. They had each other. They were happy.
+Lily and Max wanted to play outside. They had many toys in their room. They had bikes, balls, dolls, cars, and more. But their mom said they had to organize their toys first. She said they had to put them in boxes and shelves. She said they had to make their room neat and tidy.
+
+Lily and Max did not like to organize. They liked to play. They thought organizing was boring and hard. They did not want to waste time. They wanted to go outside and have fun. So they did not listen to their mom. They grabbed their bikes and helmets and ran to the door.
+
+"Wait a minute!" their mom shouted. "You have to organize your toys first. You can't leave your room like this. It's a mess!"
+
+But Lily and Max did not stop. They ignored their mom. They opened the door and went outside. They rode their bikes on the sidewalk. They felt happy and free.
+
+But they did not see the big truck coming. The truck was busy and fast. It did not see them either. It hit them with a loud crash. Their bikes and helmets flew in the air. Lily and Max fell to the ground. They felt pain and fear. They cried and screamed.
+
+Their mom heard the noise. She ran outside. She saw the truck and the bikes and the helmets. She saw Lily and Max on the ground. She felt shock and horror. She ran to them and hugged them. She called for help.
+
+But it was too late. Lily and Max were hurt too much. They did not survive. Their mom was sad and angry. She wished they had listened to her. She wished they had organized their toys. She wished they had stayed inside. She wished they were still alive.
+Jack and Jill were playing in the park when they saw a big motorcycle parked on the grass. They ran over to look at it, curious and excited.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Jack said, touching the shiny metal and the round wheels. "It's so cool and fast!"
+
+"Can we ride it?" Jill asked, climbing on the seat and holding the handlebars.
+
+"No, we can't," Jack said, shaking his head. "It's not ours, and it might be dangerous."
+
+"But I want to!" Jill said, pouting. "It looks like fun!"
+
+She tried to turn the key, but it was stuck. She pulled harder, and the key broke off. The motorcycle made a loud noise and started to smoke.
+
+"Uh-oh," Jack said, scared. "We broke it! We have to run away!"
+
+They jumped off the motorcycle and ran back to the playground. But they were too late. The owner of the motorcycle saw them and was angry. He chased them, shouting and waving his fist.
+
+"Hey, you little brats! What did you do to my bike? Come back here!"
+
+Jack and Jill were very sorry and scared. They didn't mean to break the motorcycle. They just wanted to play.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They hugged her and told her what happened.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry, we're sorry!" they cried. "We saw a motorcycle and we wanted to ride it, but we broke it and the man is mad!"
+
+Mom looked at the motorcycle and the man. She saw the smoke and the broken key. She saw the man's face, which was red and dirty. She saw his clothes, which were torn and stained. She saw his teeth, which were yellow and crooked. She thought he was disgusting.
+
+She took Jack and Jill by the hand and walked to the man. She spoke to him in a calm and firm voice.
+
+"Hello, sir. I'm sorry about your motorcycle. My children were curious and made a mistake. They didn't know it was yours, and they didn't mean to harm it. They are very sorry, and so am I. How can we make it up to you?"
+
+The man looked at Mom and the children. He saw their faces, which were scared and sorry. He saw their clothes, which were clean and neat. He saw their teeth, which were white and straight. He thought they were nice.
+
+He sighed and lowered his fist. He spoke to them in a gruff but kind voice.
+
+"Hello, ma'am. I'm sorry I yelled at you. My motorcycle is my pride and joy. I worked hard to buy it and fix it. I didn't like to see it broken. But I understand that kids are curious and make mistakes. They are just kids, after all. They don't have to pay for it, or do anything. Just promise me they won't touch it again, and we'll call it even."
+
+Mom and the children nodded and smiled. They thanked the man and apologized again. They promised they wouldn't touch his motorcycle again, and they would be more careful in the future.
+
+The man smiled and nodded. He walked back to his motorcycle and examined it. He saw that it wasn't too bad, and he could fix it. He was glad he didn't lose his temper, and he was glad he met Mom and the children. He thought they were nice.
+
+He started his motorcycle and waved to them. They waved back and watched him drive away. They learned a lesson that day, and they never forgot it. They never touched a motorcycle again, unless they asked first. And they never judged a person by their looks, but by their words and actions. They thought that was the best way to be.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox where they could dig and build with their toys. One day, they found a shiny spoon in the sand. They wondered who left it there and what they could do with it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a spoon!" Tom said, holding it up. "We can use it to dig deeper and find more things!"
+
+"Or we can use it to eat our snacks!" Lily said, grabbing the spoon from Tom. "I'm hungry!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue over the spoon. They pulled and tugged and shouted at each other. They did not want to share or take turns. They were being selfish and rude.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was their dog, Spot, who was very playful and curious. He saw the spoon and thought it was a toy. He ran over to Tom and Lily and snatched the spoon from their hands. He wagged his tail and ran away.
+
+"Hey, Spot, give it back!" Tom and Lily cried, chasing after him. "That's our spoon!"
+
+But Spot was too fast and too clever. He ran around the garden, dodging their attempts to catch him. He had fun playing with the spoon, tossing it in the air and catching it in his mouth. He did not care about Tom and Lily's feelings.
+
+Finally, he found a good spot to hide his new toy. He dug a hole in the flower bed and buried the spoon under the dirt. He patted the ground with his paws and smiled. He was happy and proud of his treasure.
+
+Tom and Lily saw what he did and stopped running. They felt sad and angry. They had lost their spoon because of their fight. They realized they had been foolish and mean. They wished they had been more kind and generous.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry. We should have shared the spoon and played together. We should have been good friends, not bad twins."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to leave the spoon for Spot, who had taught them a lesson. They learned that being selfish and rude can make you lose what you have, and that being kind and friendly can make you happy and loved. They went back to the sandbox and played with their other toys, sharing and taking turns. They had fun and smiled. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big box near the slide. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the box. It was very dark inside, and they could not see anything.
+
+"Let's use a flashlight," Tom said. He had a flashlight in his backpack. He turned it on and shone it into the box. He saw some toys, some books, and some clothes.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily said. "Can we take some?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He remembered that his mom had taught him to be polite and to ask before taking something that was not his.
+
+"Maybe we should not take anything," he said. "These things belong to someone else. Maybe they left the box here by mistake, or maybe they are coming back for it. We should leave it as it is."
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed with Tom. She also remembered that her dad had taught her to be honest and to respect other people's things.
+
+"You are right, Tom," she said. "We should not take anything. Let's close the box and go play somewhere else."
+
+They closed the box and went to play on the swings. They had fun and felt good about their choice. They did not know that the box belonged to a family who had lost their home in a fire. The family had left the box in the park while they looked for a new place to stay. They were very happy and grateful when they came back and found the box untouched. They thanked Lily and Tom in their hearts, even though they did not know who they were.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be polite and honest, and do not take what is not yours. You never know who you might help or hurt by your actions.
+Lily was a small dog who hated her collar. It was red and tight and made her itch. She wanted to run and play and feel the wind in her fur. But her owner, Ben, always put the collar on her when they went outside.
+
+One day, Ben took Lily to the park. There were many other dogs there, some big and some small. Lily saw a huge dog with a black and white coat. He looked like an enormous cow. He had no collar and he ran around freely. Lily was curious and wanted to say hello.
+
+She pulled on her leash and barked at the big dog. The big dog heard her and came over. He sniffed her and wagged his tail. He said, "Hi, I'm Spot. What's your name?"
+
+Lily said, "I'm Lily. I hate my collar. It's red and tight and makes me itch. Can you help me take it off?"
+
+Spot said, "Sure, I can help you. I don't like collars either. They are silly and mean. Let me bite it for you."
+
+Spot opened his mouth and bit Lily's collar. He pulled hard and broke it. Lily felt free and happy. She thanked Spot and licked his face. They ran and played and felt the wind in their fur. Ben saw what happened and was angry. He shouted, "Lily, come back here! Bad dog! Bad dog!"
+
+But Lily and Spot did not listen. They were too busy having fun. They did not care about collars or owners. They only cared about each other. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. Lily had a measure that she used to see how tall her towers were. She wanted to make the tallest tower ever.
+
+Ben was making a house with a door and a window. He was happy with his house. He wanted to show it to Lily. He said, "Look, Lily, I made a house. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily did not look at Ben's house. She was busy with her tower. She said, "Not now, Ben. I'm making a tower. It's going to be brilliant. Don't disturb me."
+
+Ben felt sad. He wanted Lily to see his house. He thought it was brilliant too. He said, "But Lily, I want to play with you. Can we play together?"
+
+Lily did not listen to Ben. She kept adding more blocks to her tower. She said, "No, Ben. Go away. You're disturbing me. I need to finish my tower."
+
+Ben was angry. He did not like how Lily was treating him. He wanted to make her pay attention to him. He had an idea. He took his measure and ran to Lily's tower. He said, "Ha, ha, Lily. Your tower is not brilliant. It's not even tall. Look, my measure says so."
+
+He put his measure next to Lily's tower and pushed it hard. The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered everywhere. Lily was shocked. She screamed, "Ben, you're so mean. You ruined my tower. How could you do that?"
+
+She started to cry. Ben felt sorry. He realized he had made a mistake. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to ruin your tower. I was just mad. I wanted you to play with me. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She said, "I'm sorry too, Ben. I was rude to you. I should have played with you. You're my brother. I love you."
+
+They hugged each other. They decided to share their blocks and play together. They made a new tower and a new house. They both thought they were brilliant. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of old clothes that their mom gave them. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens, pirates and fairies, or anything they wanted.
+
+One day, they found a shiny belt in the box. It was gold and had a big buckle. Tom wanted to wear it, but it was too big for him. He tried to make it smaller, but he could not. He asked Lily to help him.
+
+Lily had an idea. She said, "Let's measure your waist. Then we can cut the belt and make it fit." She found a string and wrapped it around Tom's waist. She marked the string with a crayon. Then she cut the belt with scissors.
+
+She gave the belt to Tom and said, "Here you go. Now you can be a king." Tom was happy. He put on the belt and a crown. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good brother." She put on a dress and a necklace. She said, "Now I can be a queen."
+
+They played dress-up for a long time. They had fun. They did not care that the clothes were old and poor. They only cared that they had each other.
+Ben and Lily like to play with their rabbit, Snowy. Snowy is very soft and white, and he likes to hop and eat carrots. Sometimes, Snowy likes to joke with Ben and Lily. He hides behind the sofa, or under the bed, or in the closet. Then, he jumps out and makes them laugh.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily find a huge carrot in the garden. It is bigger than Snowy, and bigger than their heads. They think Snowy will love it, and they want to give it to him as a surprise. They carry the huge carrot to the house, and look for Snowy. But they cannot find him anywhere.
+
+They look in the living room, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, but Snowy is not there. They start to worry. Where is Snowy? Did he run away? Did he get lost? They call his name, but he does not answer. They feel sad and scared.
+
+They go to their bedroom, and put the huge carrot on the bed. They sit down and hug each other. They wish Snowy would come back. They miss him so much. They hear a noise. They look up, and see Snowy on the shelf. He is smiling and wiggling his nose. He jumps down and runs to them. He licks their faces and sniffs the huge carrot. He is very happy.
+
+Snowy was joking with them. He was hiding on the shelf, and watching them look for him. He wanted to make them laugh, but he did not know they would be so worried. He is sorry. He loves them, and he loves the huge carrot. He thanks them, and starts to nibble it. Ben and Lily laugh and hug him. They are not sad or scared anymore. They are glad Snowy is back. They are a happy family.
+Anna and Ben were excited to go to the sea with their mom and dad. They had never seen the sea before. They packed their bags with swimsuits, towels, hats and toys. They got in the car and drove for a long time.
+
+When they arrived, they saw the sea. It was big and blue and shiny. They heard the waves and the seagulls. They smelled the salt and the sand. They ran to the beach and took off their shoes. They felt the water on their toes. It was cold and wet and ticklish.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, the sea!" Anna shouted.
+
+"It's beautiful, Anna, do you like it?" mom asked.
+
+"I love it, mom, can we swim?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie, but first we have to put on sunscreen and stay close to us, okay?" mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom, but hurry, hurry!" Anna said.
+
+Ben was also happy to see the sea. He wanted to play with the sand. He took his bucket and his shovel and started to dig. He made a hole and a hill and a castle. He found some shells and some stones and some seaweed. He put them on his castle to decorate it.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, my castle!" Ben shouted.
+
+"It's wonderful, Ben, do you like it?" dad asked.
+
+"I like it, dad, can I make more?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, buddy, but don't go too far and watch out for the waves, okay?" dad said.
+
+"Okay, dad, but don't touch, don't touch!" Ben said.
+
+Anna and Ben had a lot of fun at the sea. They swam and played and laughed. They saw some fish and some crabs and some starfish. They collected some shells and some stones and some seaweed. They ate some sandwiches and some fruit and some cookies. They drank some juice and some water and some milk.
+
+They were tired and happy. They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for the trip. They got in the car and drove back home. They fell asleep and dreamed of the sea.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a pink dress and long hair. Sara liked to teach Lily how to do things, like brush her hair and sing songs.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom went to the park. Sara brought Lily with her. She put Lily in the car seat and buckled her up. She wanted Lily to be safe. Mom smiled and said, "You are a good teacher, Sara."
+
+At the park, Sara saw a big slide. She wanted to go on the slide, but she did not want to leave Lily alone. She asked mom if she could take Lily with her. Mom said, "No, Sara. Lily is too small for the slide. She might get hurt. You can leave her here with me."
+
+Sara did not listen to mom. She was naughty. She took Lily out of the car seat and ran to the slide. She did not buckle Lily up again. She put Lily on the slide and pushed her down. Lily slid very fast and fell off the slide. She landed on the ground and her dress got dirty. She also lost one of her shoes.
+
+Sara ran after Lily and picked her up. She saw that Lily was sad and hurt. She felt sorry for Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was a bad teacher. I should have listened to mom. I should have buckled you up. I love you, Lily."
+
+Mom came to Sara and Lily. She saw what happened. She was not happy. She said, "Sara, you were naughty. You did not listen to me. You did not take care of Lily. You made her sad and hurt. You need to say sorry to Lily and to me. And you need to learn how to be a good teacher and a good friend."
+
+Sara said sorry to Lily and to mom. She hugged Lily and gave her a kiss. She found Lily's shoe and put it back on her foot. She brushed Lily's hair and sang her a song. She buckled Lily up in the car seat and said, "I will be a good teacher and a good friend, mom. I will listen to you and take care of Lily. I love you, mom. I love you, Lily."
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes and jewelry. One day, they find a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there are many old and shiny things.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a necklace with a blue stone. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Let me see!" Lily says. She grabs the necklace from Tom. "I want to wear it!"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Tom says. He pulls the necklace back. "It is mine!"
+
+They start to fight over the necklace. They tug and twist and shout. The necklace breaks and the blue stone falls to the floor. It rolls under a big piece of furniture.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom and Lily say. They stop fighting and look at the broken necklace. They feel very sorry.
+
+They hear their mom coming up the stairs. They hide the necklace behind their backs.
+
+"Hi, kids, what are you doing?" their mom says. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"We are playing dress-up, mom," Tom says.
+
+"We found a box with old things, mom," Lily says.
+
+Their mom looks at the box. She sees some clothes and jewelry. She also sees a necklace with a missing stone.
+
+"Oh, this is my grandmother's necklace," she says. She picks it up and looks at it. "It is very rare and special. She gave it to me when I was a little girl."
+
+She sees the broken clasp and the empty hole. She gasps and looks at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Did you break it?" she asks. She sounds sad and angry.
+
+Tom and Lily feel very bad. They nod and say sorry.
+
+They show their mom the blue stone under the furniture. They ask her to fix the necklace.
+
+Their mom sighs and takes the stone. She says she will try to fix it later. She tells them to be more careful with her things. She says they can play with other clothes and jewelry, but not with the rare ones.
+
+Tom and Lily say okay and hug their mom. They say they love her and they love the necklace. They promise to not fight over it again.
+Sara and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. Mom said, "That is a circus. Do you want to see the clowns and the animals?" Sara and Ben nodded and smiled.
+
+They got tickets and went inside the tent. They saw a thin clown with a red nose and big shoes. He was making funny faces and noises. Sara and Ben laughed. The clown saw them and came over. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want a balloon?" He gave them each a balloon shaped like a dog.
+
+Sara and Ben said, "Thank you, clown. You are very nice." The clown said, "You are welcome. You are very polite. Do you know what polite means?" Sara and Ben shook their heads. The clown said, "Polite means you say nice words and do nice things. Like saying thank you and sharing and helping. Polite people make others happy."
+
+Sara and Ben said, "We want to be polite. We want to make others happy." The clown said, "That is good. You are smart and kind. Do you want to see more of the circus?" Sara and Ben said, "Yes, please." The clown said, "Follow me. I will show you the lions and the elephants and the acrobats. They are very amazing."
+
+Sara and Ben followed the clown and saw many wonderful things. They had a lot of fun. They learned that being polite is important and makes everyone happy. They thanked the clown and Mom for taking them to the circus. They went home with their balloons and their smiles.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh. But they do not like to brush their teeth. They think it is boring and hard. They only brush their teeth when their mom tells them to.
+
+One day, they go to the dentist. The dentist is a nice lady. She smiles and says hello. She asks them to open their mouths and look at their teeth. She has a big mirror and a small light. She looks at Sara's teeth first. She says, "Sara, you have very good teeth. You brush them every day, right?" Sara nods. She feels happy and proud.
+
+Then she looks at Ben's teeth. She says, "Ben, you have some problems with your teeth. You have some holes and some dirt. You do not brush them every day, right?" Ben shakes his head. He feels sad and ashamed.
+
+The dentist says, "Ben, you need to brush your teeth every day. If you do not, you will have more holes and more dirt. And you will have more pain and more germs. Do you want that?" Ben says, "No, I do not want that." He feels scared.
+
+The dentist says, "Do not be scared, Ben. I can help you. I can fill the holes and clean the dirt. But you have to help me too. You have to brush your teeth every day. And you have to use this special toothpaste. It will make your teeth stronger and healthier. I recommend it to you. Will you do that?" Ben says, "Yes, I will do that. Thank you, dentist."
+
+The dentist says, "You are welcome, Ben. And you, Sara, you keep up the good work. You have very good teeth. I am proud of you." Sara says, "Thank you, dentist."
+
+Sara and Ben hug the dentist. They say goodbye. They go home with their mom. They promise to brush their teeth every day. They learn that brushing their teeth is important and good. They are not scared of the dentist anymore. They are happy and smart.
+Anna and Ben are playing a game in the garden. They have a big box and some blankets. They make a tent with the box and the blankets. They pretend they are camping in the forest.
+
+"Look, Anna, I have a flashlight!" Ben says. He turns on the flashlight and makes shadows on the tent wall. "Do you see the animals?"
+
+Anna nods. She sees a bear, a rabbit, and a bird. She likes the game. She smiles and claps her hands.
+
+"Let's lie down and sleep in the tent," Ben says. He puts the flashlight under his pillow. He lies down on the blanket. Anna lies down next to him. They close their eyes.
+
+But then they hear a noise. It is their dog, Max. He is barking and scratching at the tent. He wants to play too.
+
+"Go away, Max!" Ben says. He opens his eyes and sees Max's nose poking through the tent. "You are ruining our game!"
+
+Anna opens her eyes too. She sees Max's tail wagging. She thinks Max is cute and funny. She is not mad at him.
+
+"Max is not ruining our game," Anna says. She gets up and opens the tent. She hugs Max and pets him. "He is being helpful. He is guarding our tent from the wild animals. Right, Max?"
+
+Max licks Anna's face and wags his tail more. He is happy. He likes Anna.
+
+Ben gets up too. He sees that Anna is right. Max is not a bad dog. He is a good dog. He joins Anna and Max. He hugs them both and pets them.
+
+"OK, Max, you can play with us," Ben says. He smiles and turns on the flashlight again. "Let's make more shadows. Maybe we can see a dragon or a unicorn."
+
+Anna, Ben, and Max play the game together. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily was a quiet daughter. She liked to read books and draw pictures. She did not like loud noises or big crowds. She had a big brother, Tom, who liked to play soccer and make jokes. He was not quiet at all.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. Tom ran to the playground and joined some other kids. He kicked the ball and shouted and laughed. Lily stayed with her mom on a bench. She looked at the flowers and the birds. She felt happy and calm.
+
+"Look, Lily, there's a train!" her mom said, pointing to the tracks. Lily saw a long, shiny train coming. It had many windows and doors. She wondered who was inside. Maybe they were going to a faraway place.
+
+"Do you want to wave to the train, Lily?" her mom asked. Lily nodded. She liked trains. She stood up and held her mom's hand. They walked closer to the tracks, but not too close. They waited for the train to pass by.
+
+As the train came nearer, Lily saw some people in the windows. They looked at her and smiled. Some of them waved their hands. Lily waved back. She felt a warm breeze and heard a loud whistle. The train was saying hello. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, train!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You're such a sweet daughter, Lily. I'm proud of you." Lily hugged her back and said, "I love you, mom." They watched the train disappear in the distance. Then they went back to the bench and had a snack. Lily felt happy and calm. She liked to wave to the train.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing. It made them feel funny and happy. They spun faster and faster until they were dizzy.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can spin so fast!" Tom said.
+
+"Me too, Tom, me too!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed and spun some more. Then they saw a man with a cart. He had many colors of jelly in cups. He was selling them to the people in the park.
+
+"Can we have some jelly, please?" Lily and Tom asked their mom.
+
+"Okay, but only one cup each. And then we have to go home. You look sleepy," their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom chose their favorite colors of jelly. Lily picked pink and Tom picked green. They thanked the man and ate their jelly. It was sweet and wobbly. They liked it very much.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+They finished their jelly and threw away their cups. Then they held their mom's hand and walked to the car. They were sleepy and happy. They had a fun day in the park. They closed their eyes and dreamed of spinning and jelly.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, books and games, but their favorite thing was to jump on the bed. They pretended they were kangaroos, astronauts or superheroes, and they had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they were jumping so high and fast that they did not see the lamp on the nightstand. The lamp was shiny and pretty, and their mom had given it to them as a gift. But when Lily jumped too close to the lamp, she knocked it over with her foot. The lamp fell to the floor and broke into many pieces. Lily and Ben heard a loud crash and stopped jumping. They looked at the lamp and felt very scared and sorry.
+
+They heard their mom coming up the stairs and wondered what to do. Should they hide the lamp and pretend nothing happened? Should they blame each other or the cat? Should they run away and hide? They knew their mom would be angry and sad, and they did not want to make her feel that way.
+
+They decided to tell the truth and say sorry. They ran to the door and met their mom. They said, "Mom, we are so sorry, we broke the lamp. We were jumping on the bed and we did not see it. We know it was your gift and you liked it. We are very sorry, please don't be mad."
+
+Their mom looked at the lamp and sighed. She was not happy, but she was not mad either. She hugged them and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth. I am not mad, but I am disappointed. The lamp was special to me, but you are more special. I love you, but you need to be more careful and respectful of your things and mine. Jumping on the bed is not safe or smart. You could hurt yourself or break something else. Next time, please play somewhere else or with something else."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We are sorry, we love you too. We will not jump on the bed anymore. We will play with our toys or read our books or draw our pictures. We will be good and careful."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "That's good to hear. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can have some cookies. I baked them for you, they are delicious."
+
+Lily and Ben helped their mom clean up the lamp and then they enjoyed the cookies. They learned their lesson and never jumped on the bed again. They still had fun, but they also respected their mom and their things. They were happy and grateful for their mom and her delicious cookies.
+Tommy loved his truck. It was big and red and had four wheels. He liked to play with it in the yard and make loud noises. He pretended he was a driver and went to different places.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow and a tag on it. He wondered what was inside. He asked his mom, "Mom, what is in the box?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It is a present for your dad. It is his birthday tomorrow. Do you want to help me wrap it?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He liked to help his mom. He got some paper and tape and scissors. He helped mom cut the paper and tape it around the box. He was careful not to rip the paper or cut himself. He helped mom tie the bow and write the tag. He wrote, "To dad, from Tommy and mom. We love you."
+
+Mom hugged Tommy and said, "You are very thoughtful, Tommy. You helped me make a nice present for your dad. I think he will like it very much. Do you want to hide it under the bed until tomorrow?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He was excited to see his dad's face when he opened the box. He hoped he would like the present. He did not know that inside the box was a new truck for Tommy. It was bigger and bluer and had six wheels. Mom and dad wanted to surprise Tommy and make him happy. They were very thoughtful too.
+Ben and Sam are young dogs. They are loyal to their human, Tom. Tom gives them food every day. They like to eat meat and bones.
+
+One day, Tom goes out and leaves a big bone on the table. Ben and Sam see the bone. They want to eat it. They jump on the table and try to get the bone.
+
+"Let me have it!" Ben barks. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam growls. "I am bigger and stronger!"
+
+They start to fight over the bone. They bite and pull and snarl. The bone falls off the table and breaks in half.
+
+They stop fighting and look at the bone. They feel sorry. They wag their tails and lick each other.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Sam says. "You can have half of the bone."
+
+"Sorry, Sam," Ben says. "You can have the other half."
+
+They eat the bone together and share. They are happy and full. They wait for Tom to come back. They love Tom and each other. They are loyal friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pond with ducks and fish.
+
+"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily says. She runs to the pond with her ball. She wants to feed the ducks. Ben follows her.
+
+"Wait, Lily, don't throw the ball!" Ben says. He knows the ball will sink in the water. He tries to catch Lily, but he is too late. Lily throws the ball to the ducks.
+
+Splash! The ball lands in the pond. The ducks swim away. Lily and Ben are sad. They lost their ball.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, I was silly," Lily says. She hugs Ben. Ben hugs her back.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, we can find another ball," Ben says. He looks around the park. He sees a man with a big bag of rice. The man is feeding the fish.
+
+"Hey, mister, can we have some rice?" Ben asks. He runs to the man. Lily follows him.
+
+"Sure, kids, you can have some rice," the man says. He smiles. He gives them some rice in a cup. "But don't throw it to the ducks. They don't like rice. Only the fish do."
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Lily and Ben say. They take the rice to the pond. They throw the rice to the fish. The fish come to the surface. They eat the rice.
+
+"Wow, look, Lily, so many fish!" Ben says. He points to the pond. He sees something shiny in the water. It is their ball. The fish pushed it up with their noses.
+
+"Look, Ben, our ball!" Lily says. She reaches for the ball. She catches it. She is happy. Ben is happy too.
+
+"Yay, we got our ball back!" Lily and Ben say. They hug each other. They are lucky. They thank the fish and the man. They go back to their moms. They play catch with their ball. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to ride bikes together. They rode fast and had fun. One day, they saw a big white car with flowers and ribbons. They followed the car to a big house where many people were dressed in nice clothes. They heard music and clapping.
+
+"What is this?" Anna asked.
+
+"It is a marriage," Ben said. "My mom told me. It is when two people love each other and want to stay together."
+
+Anna and Ben watched the people hug and kiss and dance. They thought it looked nice. They wanted to join them.
+
+"Can we go inside?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, we can't," Ben said. "We are not invited. We have to stay outside."
+
+Anna felt sad. She wanted to see the marriage up close. She wanted to wear a nice dress and dance. She did not like to stay outside.
+
+She saw a bike leaning against a tree. It was shiny and red. It had a basket with flowers. It looked like it belonged to someone from the marriage.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bike!" Anna said. "Let's ride it!"
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Anna, we can't," he said. "That is not our bike. It is someone else's bike. We have to ask first."
+
+Anna did not listen. She ran to the bike and got on it. She pedaled away. She felt happy. She felt like she was part of the marriage.
+
+Ben ran after her. He shouted, "Anna, stop! That is wrong! You are stealing!"
+
+Anna did not stop. She rode faster. She did not see the car coming. She did not hear the horn. She did not feel the brakes.
+
+She only felt the pain. She only heard the scream. She only saw the blood.
+
+Ben reached her. He cried. He held her hand. He said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
+
+The people from the marriage came out. They saw the bike. They saw Anna. They saw Ben. They were shocked. They were angry. They were sad.
+
+They called for help. They tried to save Anna. They blamed Ben. They said, "How could you do this? How could you ruin our marriage?"
+
+Ben did not answer. He did not know what to say. He felt guilty. He felt bitter. He wished he had stopped Anna. He wished he had been a better friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Listen to your friends. Respect other people's happiness.
+Lily loved to swing. She liked to go high and feel the wind in her hair. She liked to see the trees and the sky and the birds. She liked to swing with her friends and laugh and sing.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big balloon man. He had many balloons of different colors and shapes. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you want a balloon?" Lily nodded and pointed to a red balloon. It looked like a heart. The balloon man gave her the balloon and tied it to her wrist.
+
+Lily was very happy. She thanked the balloon man and ran to the swings. She wanted to show her balloon to her friends. She got on a swing and started to push with her legs. She went higher and higher. She felt the wind in her hair. She saw the trees and the sky and the birds. She saw her friends and waved to them.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The wind was too strong. It pulled her balloon. It pulled it so hard that it broke the string. Lily's balloon flew away. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She wanted her balloon back.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to her. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you loved your balloon. But look, the balloon man has more balloons. Maybe he can give you another one."
+
+Lily looked at the balloon man. He was still smiling. He saw Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you want another balloon?" Lily nodded and pointed to a yellow balloon. It looked like a star. The balloon man gave her the balloon and tied it to her wrist.
+
+Lily was happy again. She thanked the balloon man and ran back to the swings. She wanted to show her new balloon to her friends. She got on a swing and started to push with her legs. She went higher and higher. She felt the wind in her hair. She saw the trees and the sky and the birds. She saw her friends and waved to them.

+But then, something worse happened. The yellow balloon was not a normal balloon. It was a spicy balloon. It had hot pepper inside. It popped and sprayed hot pepper on Lily's face. Lily felt a burning pain. She screamed and screamed. She wanted the pain to go away.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and came to her. She took her off the swing and wiped her face with a wet cloth. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know the balloon was spicy. That was a mean trick by the balloon man. Let's go home and have some ice cream."
+
+Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She was still sad and hurt. She didn't want any more balloons. She just wanted to go home and have some ice cream. She learned a lesson. She learned that not all balloons are good. She learned that some balloons are spicy.
+Tommy was a little boy who liked to play outside. He had a big dog named Rex who was very obedient. Rex always listened to Tommy and did what he said. One day, Tommy and Rex went to the farm near their house. They wanted to see the animals and have fun.
+
+The farmer was a nice man who let Tommy and Rex visit his farm. He showed them the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the horses. Tommy and Rex were very happy and curious. They asked the farmer many questions and learned a lot. The farmer also gave them some apples and milk to eat and drink.
+
+As they were walking around the farm, Tommy saw a big pond. He wanted to go closer and see if there were any fish or frogs in the water. He told Rex to follow him and ran towards the pond. Rex was obedient and ran after Tommy. But the farmer saw them and shouted, "Stop! Don't go near the pond! It's very cold and the water is frozen!"
+
+Tommy and Rex heard the farmer and stopped. They looked at the pond and saw that it was shiny and hard. They did not know what frozen meant, but they understood that it was not safe to go near the water. They turned around and ran back to the farmer. The farmer was glad that they listened to him and did not get hurt. He hugged them and said, "You are very good and obedient. You did the right thing to stop and freeze when I told you. The pond is frozen because it is winter and the water turns into ice. Ice is very slippery and you could fall and get wet and cold. You have to be careful and stay away from the pond until it melts."
+
+Tommy and Rex nodded and said, "Thank you, farmer. We are sorry we did not know. We will not go near the pond again. We will be careful and obedient." The farmer smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tommy and Rex. You are very smart and brave. I like you and your dog. You can come and visit my farm anytime. But remember, always listen to me and freeze when I tell you. It is for your own good." Tommy and Rex agreed and said, "We will, farmer. We like you and your farm. Thank you for letting us play and learn." They hugged the farmer and said goodbye. Then they went home, happy and safe.

+
+"Can I help you, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, Tom. You are a good boy. Can you take your bag and put it in the trunk?" Mom said.
+
+Tom nodded and took his bag. He opened the trunk and saw a big box inside. He was curious and wanted to see what was in the box.
+
+"Mom, what is this?" Tom asked.
+
+Mom looked troubled and said, "That is a surprise, Tom. You can't look at it now. It is for later. Please put your bag on top of the box and close the trunk."
+
+Tom did as Mom said, but he was still curious. He wondered what the surprise was. He hoped it was a toy or a book.
+
+Anna saw Tom and said, "What are you doing, Tom? Hurry up, we have to go to the mall."
+
+"I'm coming, Anna. I just saw a surprise in the trunk. Do you know what it is?" Tom asked.
+
+Anna shook her head and said, "No, I don't. But I don't care. I just want to go to the mall and see the toys and the books. Come on, let's go."
+
+Tom and Anna ran to the car and got in. Mom smiled and said, "Are you ready, kids? Let's go to the mall and have some fun."

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they want to race. They see a big sign that says "Event". They think it is a race for them.
+
+They run to the sign. They see many people and cars. They hear loud noises. They are confused. They do not see a place to race.
+
+"Where is the race?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is over there."
+
+They point to a big road. They see many cars going very fast. They think it is a race. They want to join.
+
+They run to the road. They do not see the red light. They do not see the man who says "Stop". They do not hear the horns.
+
+A car stops very close to them. It makes a scary sound. Lily and Ben are scared. They stop running. They look at the car.
+
+The car has a big number on it. It has many colors. It has a sticker that says "Event". It is a race car.
+
+The driver opens the window. He looks at Lily and Ben. He is angry.
+
+"What are you doing here?" he says. "This is not a race for you. This is a race for cars. You are not cars. You are kids. You are in danger. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They did not know. They thought it was a race for them. They run away from the road. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened.
+
+Mom and dad are worried. They hug Lily and Ben. They say "You are safe now. You should not run to the road. You should look and listen. You should follow the rules. You should be careful."

+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily was an angel doll with white wings and a shiny dress. Anna liked to pretend that Lily was her friend and they went on adventures together.
+
+One day, Anna and Lily decided to play in the garden. Anna put Lily in a basket and carried her outside. She saw some flowers, some rocks, and some bugs. She wanted to show them to Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is a flower. It is pink and pretty. Do you like it?" Anna asked.
+
+Lily did not answer. She was a doll, so she could not talk. But Anna did not mind. She made up what Lily would say.
+
+"Yes, Anna, I like it. But I want to see more things. You lead me, Anna. You are the boss," Anna said in a high voice for Lily.
+
+Anna smiled. She liked to lead. She was the boss. She took Lily to see more things in the garden. She showed her a rock, a bug, and a bird. She told Lily what they were and what they did.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is a rock. It is hard and gray. You can throw it or build with it. Do you want to try?" Anna asked.
+
+Lily did not answer. She was a doll, so she could not move. But Anna did not mind. She made up what Lily would do.
+
+"Yes, Anna, I want to try. But you help me, Anna. You are the boss," Anna said in a high voice for Lily.
+
+Anna helped Lily to throw a rock. It made a splash in the pond. Anna and Lily laughed. They had fun. They played in the garden until it was time to go inside. Anna hugged Lily and thanked her for being her friend.
+
+"You are the best, Lily. You are an angel. And you let me be the boss," Anna said.
+
+Lily did not answer. She was a doll, so she could not hug. But Anna did not mind. She knew that Lily loved her too.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were king and queen of a big castle. They had a crown made of paper and a stick for a scepter.

+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good queen, too. You are very kind and smart. You always listen to me and make me laugh."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They were very happy.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big bird in the sky. It was a hawk. It had sharp claws and a long beak. It was looking for something to eat.
+
+The hawk saw the crown on Lily's head. It thought it was shiny and tasty. It flew down and tried to grab the crown.
+
+"Help, Max! The hawk wants my crown!" Lily cried.
+
+Max was brave. He picked up his stick and waved it at the hawk. He shouted, "Go away, hawk! This is our crown! You can't have it!"
+
+The hawk was scared. It did not like the stick or the noise. It flew away and did not come back.
+
+Lily and Max were safe. They hugged and thanked each other.
+
+"You are my hero, Max. You saved my crown," Lily said.
+
+"You are my hero, too, Lily. You did not give up your crown," Max said.
+
+They put the crown back on Lily's head and continued to play. They were very happy.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw something new in the park. It was a big box with a hole in it. It looked mysterious.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and see," Mia said.
+
+They ran to the box and looked inside. They saw a lot of colors and shapes. They heard a funny sound. It was like a beep-beep-beep.
+

+
+"Maybe it's a toy," Mia said.
+
+They reached their hands inside the box. They felt something soft and fuzzy. They pulled it out. It was a teddy bear.
+
+"Look, a teddy bear!" Ben said.
+
+"It's so cute!" Mia said.
+
+They hugged the teddy bear. They heard another beep-beep-beep. They looked at the box again. They saw a red light flashing. They saw a word on the box. It said "STOP".
+
+"What does that mean?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should put the teddy bear back," Mia said.
+
+They put the teddy bear back in the box. They heard a click. The box closed. The light stopped. The sound stopped.
+
+"Bye-bye, teddy bear," Ben said.
+
+"Bye-bye, box," Mia said.
+
+They ran back to the swing and slide. They had fun. They did not know that the box was a sight test for a secret spy. They did not know that they had passed the test. They did not know that the teddy bear was a spy too. They did not know that the spy was watching them. They did not know that the spy was smiling.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, they saw mom make a big pastry with apples and sugar inside. It smelled very good and they wanted to taste it.
+
+"Can we have some pastry, mom?" they asked.
+
+"Not yet, my loves. It is very hot and needs to cool down. You can have some after lunch, okay?" mom said.
+
+She put the pastry on the table and went to the garden to pick some flowers. Ben and Lily waited for a while, but they were very hungry and curious. They climbed on the chairs and reached for the pastry.
+
+"Let's have a little bite, Lily. Mom won't notice," Ben said.
+
+He broke off a piece of the pastry and put it in his mouth. But it was still very hot and burned his tongue. He spat it out and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" he screamed.
+
+Lily heard him and panicked. She thought he was hurt badly and needed help. She ran to the door and shouted.
+
+"Mom, mom, come quick! Ben is hurt! He ate the hot pastry!"
+
+Mom heard her and ran back to the kitchen. She saw Ben crying and the pastry on the floor. She hugged him and checked his tongue. It was a little red, but not too bad.
+
+"Ben, you silly boy. Why did you eat the hot pastry? You know you have to wait until it cools down. It's not good for you," she said.
+
+She gave him some water and a kiss. She also hugged Lily and thanked her for calling her.
+
+"Lily, you are a good sister. You did the right thing to call me. But next time, don't panic. Just stay calm and tell me what happened," she said.
+
+She cleaned up the mess and cut some slices of the pastry. She let them cool down and gave them to Ben and Lily.
+
+"Here you go, my loves. Now you can have some pastry. But be careful, it's still a little hot. And remember, always listen to mom, okay?" she said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They ate the pastry and said sorry to mom. They also said it was very yummy and they loved her. Mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy they were okay and learned their lesson.
+Lily liked to do yoga with her mom. Yoga was when they made shapes with their bodies and breathed slowly. Lily liked to stretch like a cat, balance like a flamingo, and twist like a snake.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park to do yoga on the grass. They brought a big mat to lie on. Lily saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them.
+
+"Mom, can I go play?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, Lily. We are doing yoga. It is good for us. You can play later," her mom said.
+
+"But mom, I want to play now. Yoga is boring," Lily said.
+
+"Lily, please remain on the mat. Yoga is not boring. It is fun and relaxing. Look, I can show you a new shape. It is called a lion. You open your mouth and stick out your tongue and roar," her mom said.
+
+She made a funny face and roared. Lily laughed. She thought her mom looked silly.
+
+"OK, mom. I will try the lion. But can I play after?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can play after. But first, let's do the lion together. Ready? One, two, three, roar!" her mom said.
+
+They both roared and giggled. Lily felt happy. She liked doing yoga with her mom. Maybe it was not so boring after all. She decided to remain on the mat and learn more shapes. The grass was soft and the sun was warm. She forgot about the swings and slides. She only wanted to do yoga.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big tent that someone had left there. They decided to go inside and pretend it was their house.
+
+But soon they began to quarrel. Lily wanted to be the mom and Ben wanted to be the dad. Ben said he could be the dad because he was older and stronger. Lily said she could be the mom because she was smarter and nicer. They both wanted to be the boss of the tent.
+
+They shouted and pushed each other until they knocked over a bottle of lemonade that was in the tent. The lemonade spilled all over the floor and made everything wet and sticky. It also made the tent smell sour.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped quarreling and looked at the mess. They felt sorry for what they had done. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share the tent and be a happy family. They also decided to clean up the lemonade and leave the tent as they had found it. They learned that quarreling was not fun and that playing together was better.
+Sara wanted to help her parent make a cake. She liked cake very much. She saw her parent take out eggs, flour, sugar, and butter. She asked, "Can I help you, please?"
+
+Her parent smiled and said, "Of course, you can. You can crack the eggs and put them in the bowl. But be careful, they are fragile and messy."
+
+Sara nodded and took an egg. She tapped it on the counter, but it did not crack. She tapped it harder, but it still did not crack. She tapped it very hard, and it cracked. But it also splashed all over her face and clothes. She felt wet and sticky. She started to cry.
+
+Her parent heard her cry and came to see what happened. She saw Sara covered in egg and the broken shell on the counter. She said, "Oh, no, what a mess! Don't cry, Sara, it's okay. Accidents happen. Let's clean you up and change your clothes. Then we can try again."
+
+Sara sniffed and nodded. Her parent took her to the bathroom and wiped her face and hands with a towel. Then she helped her change into a clean dress. She said, "There, you look much better. Are you ready to help me again?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, I am. I want to make a cake with you."
+
+Her parent hugged her and said, "I'm happy to hear that. You are a good helper. Come on, let's go back to the kitchen. I have another egg for you. This time, let's crack it gently over the bowl, okay?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay. I can do it. I can manage."
+
+They went back to the kitchen and finished making the cake. Sara cracked the egg gently over the bowl and did not make a mess. She also helped her parent stir the batter and pour it into the pan.

+"Look, Lily, a green cable!" Tom says. "I wonder what it does."
+
+"Maybe it makes the TV work," Lily says. "Let's pull it and see."
+
+Tom and Lily pull the green cable. The TV goes off. They hear a loud noise from the kitchen.
+
+"Hey, what did you do?" Mom says. She comes to the living room. She sees the green cable in Tom and Lily's hands. She is angry.

+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily say. They are scared. They do not want to get hurt. They do not want to break the TV.
+
+"Show me how you pulled the cable," Mom says. She wants to fix the TV. She wants to teach Tom and Lily a lesson.
+
+Tom and Lily show Mom how they pulled the cable. Mom plugs the cable back into the wall. The TV goes on. Mom is happy.
+
+"See, the cable makes the TV work," Mom says. "But you should never pull it. It can break the TV. It can also shock you. That is bad. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Tom and Lily say. They understand. They do not want to pull the cable again. They hug Mom and say sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Tom and Lily," Mom says. She hugs them back. She is not angry anymore. She loves them. "But next time, ask me before you touch anything. Okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," Tom and Lily say. They smile. They watch TV with Mom. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They had a big box of things to decorate the tree. They had balls, stars, lights and ribbons. They wanted to make the tree very pretty.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a purple ball!" Ben said. He liked purple. It was his favorite color.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is nice!" Lily said. She liked purple too. She had a purple dress. "Can I touch it?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can touch it. But be careful. It is very shiny and smooth." Ben said. He gave the ball to Lily.
+
+Lily touched the ball. It felt cold and slippery. She smiled. She wanted to put the ball on the tree. She lifted the ball up. But then, she dropped it. The ball fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, what did you do?" Ben said. He was sad. He liked the purple ball.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to." Lily said. She was sorry too. She liked the purple ball.
+
+They looked at the broken ball. They felt bad. They didn't know what to do.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Mom.
+
+"Hey, kids, what's going on?" Mom said. She came into the room. She saw the tree and the box. She also saw the broken ball.
+
+"Mom, we were decorating the tree. But Lily dropped the purple ball. And it broke." Ben said.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry. I wanted to touch the purple ball. But it slipped from my hand." Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at them. She smiled.
+
+"It's okay, kids. Accidents happen. The purple ball was not very strong. But you know what? I have something for you." Mom said.
+
+She went to the closet. She came back with a big purple star.
+
+"Look, kids, this is a purple star. It is very strong and sparkly. And it is for the top of the tree. Do you want to put it there?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the purple star. They liked it. It was very pretty.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we want to put it there!" They said.
+
+Mom lifted them up. They put the purple star on the top of the tree. It shone brightly.
+
+They hugged Mom. They thanked her.
+
+They looked at the tree. It was very pretty. They were very happy.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they make a lot of noise and mess. Mommy and Daddy tell them to behave and clean up.
+
+One day, Mommy and Daddy have to go out. They call Grandma to come and watch Lily and Max. Grandma is very nice and brings cookies and milk. She says, "Hello, my darlings. Are you ready to have some fun?"
+
+Lily and Max nod and smile. They want to show Grandma their toys and books. But they also want to behave and make Mommy and Daddy proud. They say, "Yes, Grandma. We are ready. But we have to clean up first."
+
+Grandma helps them put their toys and books in the boxes and shelves. She says, "You are very good children. I am proud of you. Now we can go upstairs and read a story."
+
+Lily and Max follow Grandma upstairs. They choose a book with colorful pictures and animals. Grandma reads to them in a soft voice. They listen and look at the book. They feel happy and cozy.
+
+Mommy and Daddy come back later. They see Lily and Max sleeping on Grandma's lap. They see the toys and books are tidy. They say, "Thank you, Grandma. You are the best. And thank you, Lily and Max. You behaved very well. We love you."
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore the park. She saw many things that made her happy, like flowers, birds and swings. One day, she saw something new: a big brown box under a tree. She wondered what was inside.
+
+She ran to the box and opened it. She was surprised to see a small, furry animal with long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a bunny! The bunny looked scared and sad. Lily wanted to help it.
+
+"Hello, bunny," she said softly. "Why are you in the box? Are you lost?"
+
+The bunny did not answer. It just shivered and hid in a corner. Lily reached out her hand and gently stroked its fur. The bunny felt warm and soft. It looked at Lily with big, brown eyes.
+
+Lily smiled. "Don't be afraid, bunny. I am your friend. I will take you home and give you food and water and a nice bed. You will be happy with me."
+
+The bunny seemed to understand. It hopped out of the box and onto Lily's lap. It nuzzled her cheek and licked her nose. Lily giggled. She felt a tickle on her foot. She looked down and saw another bunny. It was the first bunny's friend. It had followed Lily and the box.
+
+"Hello, other bunny," Lily said. "You can come with us too. I have enough room and love for both of you."
+
+The other bunny wagged its tail and jumped on Lily's other lap. It snuggled with the first bunny and Lily. Lily hugged them both. She was very happy.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," the bunnies said in their own way. "You are very kind and brave. You saved us from the bad man who put us in the box. He wanted to sell us to a pet shop. We did not want to go. We wanted to be free and together. You gave us a new home and a new family. We love you, Lily."
+
+Lily did not understand their words, but she felt their gratitude and affection. She kissed their ears and said, "You're welcome, bunnies. I love you too."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. But today, they had to stay in their room while Mom and Dad had a meeting with some people. They did not like meetings. They were boring and long.
+
+Lily and Max were restless. They wanted to go outside and see the birds and the flowers. They looked at their toys, but they did not feel like playing with them. They looked at their books, but they did not feel like reading them. They looked at each other, and they had an idea.
+
+"Let's go see what Mom and Dad are doing," Lily whispered to Max.
+
+"OK, but how do we get out?" Max whispered back.
+
+Lily pointed to the door. "We can unlock it with this," she said, holding a paper clip. She had seen Mom do it once when she lost her key.
+
+Lily bent the paper clip and slid it into the lock. She twisted and turned it until she heard a click. She smiled and opened the door. Max followed her. They tiptoed down the hall, hoping no one would see them.
+
+They reached the living room, where Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch with two other people. They had papers and pens and serious faces. Lily and Max peeked from behind the curtain, curious and excited.
+
+"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Smith," one of the people said. "We are here to talk about your adoption application. We have some good news for you."
+
+Lily and Max gasped. Adoption? What did that mean? They looked at each other, confused and scared. They felt a sudden urge to run back to their room and lock the door. But before they could move, Mom and Dad saw them.
+
+"Lily! Max! What are you doing here?" Mom exclaimed.
+
+"Come here, sweeties," Dad said. "We have something to tell you."
+
+Lily and Max walked slowly to the couch, holding hands. They did not know what was going to happen. They hoped it was something good.
+Tim and Mia were playing on the sand near the water. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They saw a big boat with many people on it. The boat was ugly and noisy. It made black smoke in the air.
+
+"Look, Tim, look!" Mia said. "What is that boat doing?"
+
+"I don't know, Mia," Tim said. "Maybe they are going somewhere far away."
+
+But the boat was not going far away. It was coming closer and closer to the shore. The people on the boat were bad. They wanted to take Tim and Mia and make them work for them. They had ropes and nets and guns.
+
+"Run, Mia, run!" Tim said. "They are coming to get us!"
+
+Tim and Mia ran as fast as they could. They left their castles and holes behind. They ran to the trees and hid behind them. They were scared and sad.
+
+The bad people came to the shore. They looked for Tim and Mia. They shouted and cursed. They threw their ropes and nets. But they could not find them. Tim and Mia were too smart and too quick. They escaped from the bad people.
+
+"Are they gone, Tim?" Mia asked.
+
+"I think so, Mia," Tim said. "I think they gave up."
+
+Tim and Mia hugged each other. They were happy and safe. They waited until the ugly boat was far away. Then they came out of the trees and went back to the sand. They made new castles and holes. They forgot about the bad people. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many green leaves and brown nuts. They ran to the tree and picked up some nuts.
+
+"Look, Lily, these are acorns. They are nuts that squirrels like to eat," Tom said.
+
+"Can we eat them too?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are not good for us. Let's ask Mom," Tom said.
+
+They ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench with a book. They showed her the acorns and asked if they could eat them.
+
+"Acorns are not for us, my dears. They are too hard and bitter. They are for squirrels and other animals who live in the woods. We have other things to eat, like apples and bananas and cookies," Mom said.
+
+"Can we keep them, Mom? Can we play with them?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can keep them, but be careful not to lose them or hurt yourself with them. And don't mention them to the squirrels, or they might get angry and chase you," Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. We will be careful and quiet. Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their mom and ran back to the tree. They played with the acorns, pretending they were treasure or food or toys. They had fun and felt safe and happy. They did not mention the acorns to the squirrels, who were busy looking for their own nuts. They did not see Tom and Lily or their acorns. They did not mind. They had enough acorns for themselves.
+Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Spot. Spot was cold and shivering in the rain. He felt pain in his leg from a fall. Spot was very sad and sorry he left his warm home. 
+
+A girl named Amy saw Spot shivering and felt sorry for him. She went to him and said, "Little dog, why are you shivering? Are you in pain?" Spot nodded his head and looked at her with sad eyes. Amy knew she had to help him.
+
+Amy took Spot to her home and gave him a soft, warm bed. She put a band-aid on his leg to make the pain go away. Spot stopped shivering and wagged his tail. He was happy and not sorry anymore. They became best friends and lived happily ever after.
+Once upon a time, there was a young shrimp. The shrimp lived in a big sea with many other fish. The shrimp had many friends and they liked to play all day.
+

+
+The race began. The rabbit and the deer ran very fast. They did not see the deep hole near the bush. Both of them fell into the hole. The frog saw the hole and jumped over it. He kept running and won the race.
+
+The other animals cheered for the frog. The rabbit and the deer climbed out of the hole. They said, "Good job, frog! You are the winner!"
+
+The frog smiled and said, "Thank you. We all tried our best. Let's race again sometime!" All the animals agreed and they all became good friends.
+One day, a girl named Sue and a boy named Tim were playing in their room. They saw a thick paper on the table. Sue wanted to cut the paper with scissors. Tim wanted to draw on the paper. They did not know what to do. They had a little fight.
+
+Sue said, "I want to cut the paper!" Tim said, "No, I want to draw on it!" They could not decide what to do with the paper. They were both sad and mad.
+
+Then, their mom came into the room. She saw the thick paper and the scissors. She said, "Why don't you cut the paper in half? Then, Sue can cut one half and Tim can draw on the other half." Sue and Tim liked the idea. They decided to do what mom said. They were happy and played together again.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim liked to go outside and play in the snow. One day, it was very cold and icy outside. But Tim put on his warm coat and went out to play anyway.
+
+As Tim played, he saw a big, pretty bird in a tree. The bird had bright colors, and Tim liked to gaze at it. The bird looked at Tim, too. They became friends, and the bird told Tim, "I promise to come play with you every day."
+
+Each day, Tim and the bird played together in the icy snow. They had so much fun, and Tim was very happy. The bird kept its promise, and they were best friends forever.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big pear tree. The pears are yellow and juicy. Anna and Ben want to eat some pears.
+
+"Let's climb the tree and get some pears," Anna says.
+
+"No, that's too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves," Ben says.
+
+"Come on, don't be scared. I'll go first and you follow me," Anna says.
+
+She runs to the tree and starts to climb. Ben is anxious. He does not like heights. He stays on the ground and watches Anna.
+
+Anna reaches a branch with a big pear. She picks it and bites it. It is sweet and yummy. She smiles and says, "Mmm, this is a good pear. Come on, Ben, there are more pears here."
+
+Ben looks at Anna. He wants to eat a pear too, but he is still afraid. He says, "No, thank you. I'll wait for you here."
+
+Anna eats another pear. She is happy. She does not see a bee that is flying near the tree. The bee is angry. It thinks Anna is stealing its food. It buzzes and stings Anna on the nose.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna cries. She drops the pear and holds her nose. It hurts a lot. She wants to go down, but she is too high. She is scared.
+
+"Anna, what's wrong?" Ben asks. He hears Anna crying. He is worried.
+
+"A bee stung me. It hurts. Help me, Ben, help me!" Anna says.
+
+Ben sees the bee. He is brave. He runs to the tree and climbs it. He reaches Anna and hugs her. He says, "Don't cry, Anna. I'm here. I'll help you down."
+
+He helps Anna to climb down the tree. They reach the ground. Anna is still crying. Ben is gentle. He says, "Let's go to Mom. She'll make it better."
+
+He takes Anna's hand and leads her to the house. They leave the pears on the tree. They lie to Mom. They say they were playing with the ball. Mom does not know. She sees Anna's nose. She is sorry. She puts some ice on it. She kisses Anna and Ben. She says, "You are good twins. I love you."
+
+Anna and Ben hug Mom. They love her too. They are sorry they lied. They say, "We love you, Mom. We're sorry we lied. We climbed the pear tree and a bee stung Anna. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you for telling me the truth. I'm proud of you. You are brave and kind. You can have some pears later, if you want. But next time, ask me first, okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They are happy. They are not anxious anymore. They have each other. They have Mom. They have pears. They have a good day.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. They saw many things inside.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is cheese and ham and bread. We can make sandwiches!" Ben said.
+
+"Good idea, Ben. I like sandwiches. But we need to ask Mom first," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the living room, where Mom was reading a book. They asked her if they could make sandwiches. Mom smiled and said yes, but they had to be careful and clean up after.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They went back to the kitchen and took out the cheese and ham and bread. They put them on a big plate. They used a knife to cut the bread and the cheese and the ham. They made four sandwiches, two for each.
+
+"Let's serve the sandwiches, Lily. We can pretend we are in a restaurant," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben. That sounds fun. You be the waiter and I be the customer," Lily said.
+
+Ben put a napkin on his arm and carried the plate. He walked to the table, where Lily was sitting. He put the plate down and said, "Here are your sandwiches, madam. They are very tasty. Enjoy your meal."
+
+"Thank you, sir. You are very kind. These sandwiches look delicious," Lily said.
+
+They smiled at each other and started to eat. They enjoyed their sandwiches very much. They felt full and happy.
+
+They cleaned up the kitchen and put the leftovers in the refrigerator. They thanked Mom for letting them make sandwiches. Mom hugged them and said they were very good and clever.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed and said, "We are also very silly!"
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play dress up. They have a big box of clothes and hats and shoes. They can be anything they want.
+
+One day, they decide to be soldiers. They find green jackets and pants and boots. They put on helmets and sunglasses. They have toy guns and walkie-talkies. They look very cool.
+
+They march around the house. They say, "Left, right, left, right." They pretend to fight bad guys. They hide behind the sofa and the table. They make loud noises. "Bang, bang, bang!"
+
+Mom is in the kitchen. She is making lunch. She hears the twins. She smiles. She likes to see them have fun. But she also wants them to be quiet. She has a headache.
+
+She goes to the living room. She says, "Ben, Lily, can you please stop marching and shooting? You are making too much noise. Mom needs some peace."
+
+Ben and Lily stop. They look at Mom. They see she is not happy. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to bother you. We were just playing."
+
+Mom says, "I know, sweeties. I love your game. But can you play something else? Something more peaceful?"
+
+Ben and Lily think. They look at their clothes. They have an idea. They say, "OK, Mom. We can play something else. We can be astronauts!"
+
+They take off their helmets and sunglasses. They unzip their jackets and pants. They put on white shirts and pants. They find silver belts and gloves. They have toy rockets and helmets. They look very cool.
+
+They go to the bedroom. They pretend to fly to the moon. They say, "Blast off, blast off, blast off!" They jump on the bed. They make soft noises. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
+
+Mom is in the kitchen. She is making lunch. She hears the twins. She smiles. She likes to see them have fun. And she likes the peace. She says, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are very good astronauts. And very good children."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small bucket. They filled the big bucket with wet sand and turned it over to make a castle. They used the small bucket to make towers and windows.
+
+"Look at our castle!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and strong!"
+
+But Tom, who was playing nearby, did not like their castle. He wanted to make them angry. He took a stick and ran towards their castle. He teased them and said, "Your castle is silly and weak! I can break it with my stick!"
+
+He swung his stick at their castle and knocked down one of the towers. Lily and Ben were very sad and mad. They shouted, "Stop it, Tom! That is not nice! You are mean!"
+
+Tom laughed and swung his stick again. He hit another tower and broke it. He teased them more and said, "Your castle is delicate and ugly! I can break it all!"
+
+But then, he swung his stick too hard and lost his balance. He fell on the sand and dropped his stick. The big bucket, which was still full of wet sand, rolled over and landed on his head. He got sand in his eyes and mouth and nose. He cried and screamed, "Help! Help! Get it off me!"
+
+Lily and Ben saw what happened and ran to help him. They lifted the bucket off his head and wiped the sand from his face. They asked him, "Are you okay, Tom? Are you hurt?"
+
+Tom was scared and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I was wrong. I should not have teased you and broken your castle. It was not nice. It was mean. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They said, "We forgive you, Tom. But you have to be nice and play fair. And you have to help us fix our castle."
+
+Tom agreed and said, "Okay, I will. Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are good friends."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They worked together to fix their castle and make it pretty and strong again. They had fun and played nicely. They learned a lesson and became better friends.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They loved to see the animals and the trees and the flowers. One day, they saw a big deer with brown fur and big horns. The deer was eating some grass and did not see them.
+
+"Wow, look at the deer!" Anna whispered to Ben. "He is so big and pretty!"
+
+"Let's go closer and touch him!" Ben said. He was not afraid of the deer.
+
+"No, Ben, we should not do that!" Anna said. "The deer might get scared and run away. Or he might hurt us with his horns. We should be calm and quiet and watch him from here."
+
+But Ben did not listen to Anna. He wanted to touch the deer. He ran towards the deer and shouted, "Hey, deer, I want to be your friend!"
+
+The deer heard Ben and saw him. He was surprised and afraid. He did not like the loud noise and the fast movement. He thought Ben was a danger. He lifted his head and snorted. Then he ran away into the forest.
+
+"Ben, you scared the deer!" Anna said. She was sad and angry. "Why did you do that? You should have been calm and quiet like me!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. He felt bad. He realized he had made a mistake. "I just wanted to see the deer better. I did not mean to scare him."
+
+Anna hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, you should listen to me. Sometimes, it is better to reveal your love by being calm and quiet than by being loud and fast. That way, you can respect the animals and their feelings. And maybe they will let you see them longer."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they wanted to skip to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the door.
+
+But when they opened the door, they saw something strange. The sky was dark and gray. Big drops of water fell from the clouds. The ground was wet and muddy. Lily and Ben were confused.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked. "Is this the weather?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "It looks like rain. But we don't like rain. Rain is cold and wet. We like sun. Sun is warm and bright."
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to skip to the park, but they did not want to get wet. They looked at each other and had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can skip inside," Lily said. "We can skip in the living room. We can skip around the sofa and the table. We can skip with our toys and our books. We can skip and have fun."
+
+"That sounds good," Ben said. "Let's skip inside. Maybe the sun will come back later. Then we can skip to the park."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They closed the door and ran to the living room. They skipped and laughed and played. They did not mind the rain. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus is empty. No one is inside.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bus!" Tom says. "Let's go inside and pretend we are drivers."
+
+"OK, Tom, that sounds fun!" Lily says. They run to the bus and climb in. They sit in the front seats and hold the steering wheel.
+
+"Beep beep!" Tom says. "Where are we going, Lily?"
+
+"We are going to the zoo, Tom!" Lily says. "We will see lions and monkeys and elephants!"
+
+They make noises like the animals they want to see. They laugh and have fun.
+
+Soon, they see a man coming to the bus. He is wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He is the real driver.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" he asks. He is not angry, but surprised.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we are just playing," Tom says. "We like your bus."
+
+The driver smiles. He is not mad. He thinks the kids are cute.
+
+"Well, you can play for a little while, but then you have to go," he says. "This bus is not empty for long. I have to pick up people soon."
+
+"OK, mister, thank you," Lily says. "Can we wave to the people when they come?"
+
+"Sure, you can wave to them," the driver says. "But be careful and don't touch anything else."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They wait for the people to come. They wave to them and smile. The people wave back and smile too. They think the kids are funny.
+
+Lily and Tom have a good time in the bus. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a hut. It was old and small. They went inside to look.
+
+The hut had a bed, a table, and a stove. There were some books and toys on the shelves. Lila and Tom were happy. They played with the toys and read the books. They forgot about the time.
+
+The sun was going down. It was getting dark. Lila and Tom heard a noise. It was a big bear. The bear was hungry. It smelled the food in the hut. It came closer and closer.
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They ran out of the hut. They left the toys and the books behind. They ran to their homes. They hoped the bear would not follow them.
+
+Lila and Tom were safe. They hugged their moms and dads. They were sorry for staying so long. They were worried about the hut. They wondered if the bear would break it. They hoped the toys and the books would be okay. They decided to return to the hut the next day. They wanted to see what happened. They wanted to say sorry to the hut. They hoped the hut would forgive them.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play at the shore. They make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has a flag and a name. It is a famous boat.
+
+"Look, Tom, it is the boat of the king!" Sam says. "He is very rich and powerful. He has many toys and candies. Maybe he will share some with us."
+
+Tom is curious. He wants to see the boat of the king. He runs to the water and waves his hand. "Hello, king! Hello, boat!" he shouts.
+
+But Sam is afraid. He does not want to go near the boat. He thinks the king is mean and scary. He may not like them. He may be angry. He may take them away. He pulls Tom's arm. "No, Tom, no! Come back! We cannot go to the boat. It is not safe. It is not ours."
+
+Tom refuses. He does not listen to Sam. He thinks Sam is silly and coward. He wants to meet the king. He wants to see his toys and candies. He wants to have fun. He lets go of Sam's arm. "You are a baby, Sam. You are afraid of everything. I am not. I am brave. I will go to the boat. You can stay here and cry."
+
+Tom runs to the water. He tries to swim to the boat. But the water is deep and cold. He cannot swim well. He splashes and sinks. He cries for help. He is sorry. He is scared.
+
+Sam hears Tom's cry. He loves his brother. He forgets his fear. He runs to the water. He swims to Tom. He grabs his hand. He pulls him to the shore. He hugs him and kisses him. He is happy. He is proud.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. Thank you for saving me. You are a hero. You are brave. I am sorry for being mean. I was wrong. The boat of the king is not important. You are important. You are my brother. I love you." Tom says.
+
+"I love you too, Tom. I am glad you are safe. The boat of the king is not for us. We have each other. We have our sand castles and shells. We have our fun. We are happy." Sam says.
+
+They smile and hug. They play at the shore. They forget the boat of the king. They are famous brothers.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car.
+
+"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Ben said, zooming past Lily.
+
+"No, it's not! My car is better than yours!" Lily said, chasing after Ben.
+
+They played until they were thirsty. They saw a bottle on the table. It was brown and had a label that said "oil".
+
+"Let's drink this!" Ben said, grabbing the bottle.
+
+"No, Ben, don't drink that! That's not water, that's oil!" Lily said, trying to stop him.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He opened the bottle and took a sip. He made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck! This is nasty! It tastes bad and it hurts my throat!" Ben said, coughing.
+
+Lily shook her head. "I told you not to drink that, Ben. That's oil for the car, not for us. You are foolish, Ben. You could get sick."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He threw away the bottle and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was foolish. I should have listened to you. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily nodded. She gave him a hug and said, "Of course we can, Ben. But next time, let's drink water, OK?"
+
+They went inside and asked their mom for some water. They drank and felt better. They learned their lesson and never drank oil again.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the river. The river is big and blue. It makes a sound like shhh.
+
+"Look, Lila, I found a rock!" Tom says. He holds a small, round rock in his hand. "It is smooth and shiny. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila says. She takes the rock from Tom. She feels it with her fingers. "It is nice. Can I keep it?"
+
+"Okay, you can keep it. But I want to find another one." Tom says. He looks around the river bank. He sees many rocks. Some are big, some are small, some are gray, some are brown.
+
+He sees a big, gray rock. It is bigger than his head. He wants to lift it. He tries to grab it with both hands. He pulls and pulls. But the rock is too heavy. He cannot move it.
+
+"Help me, Lila!" Tom says. "This rock is too big. I want to see what is under it. Maybe there is a treasure."
+
+Lila puts her rock in her pocket. She runs to Tom. She tries to help him. She pushes and pushes. But the rock is still too big. They cannot move it.
+
+They look at each other. They are sad. They want to see what is under the big, gray rock.
+
+"Maybe we can use a stick." Lila says. "A stick can help us move the rock."
+
+"Good idea!" Tom says. He looks for a stick. He finds a long, thin stick. He brings it to Lila. They put the stick under the rock. They push the stick down. The rock moves a little bit.
+
+"Yay, it works!" Lila says. "Let's do it again."
+
+They push the stick down again. The rock moves a little bit more. They see something under the rock. It is shiny and colorful. It is a necklace.
+
+"Wow, look, Tom!" Lila says. "It is a necklace. It is so pretty. It is the treasure."
+
+"Wow, you are right, Lila!" Tom says. "It is a treasure. It is for you. You can have it."
+
+"Really? Thank you, Tom!" Lila says. She takes the necklace. She puts it around her neck. It sparkles in the sun. She is happy.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They found a treasure. They are good friends. They go back to the river. They play with the rocks and the water. They have fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of letters. They used the letters to make words, names, and stories on the floor.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Tom and Lily, I have a surprise for you. You are going to a new school tomorrow. You will learn many new things and make new friends."
+
+Tom and Lily were happy, but also a little scared. They did not want to separate from each other. They asked, "Mom, can we go to the same school? Can we be in the same class?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "No, my loves. You are going to different schools. You are big enough to have your own adventures. But don't worry, you will see each other every day after school. And you can always write letters to each other."
+
+Tom and Lily did not like this idea. They hugged each other and said, "We don't want to write letters. We want to play together. We don't want to separate."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I know, my loves. But trust me, you will have fun at your new schools. And you will always be twins, no matter what. Now, let's pack your bags and get ready for tomorrow."
+
+Tom and Lily packed their bags, but they also had a plan. They took their big box of letters and hid it under their bed. They decided to take some letters with them to their new schools. They thought, "If we have the same letters, we will not feel so separate. We will always have something to share."
+
+The next day, Tom and Lily went to their new schools. They were nervous, but also curious. They met their teachers and classmates. They learned new things and played new games. They also took out their letters and made words, names, and stories on their desks.
+
+But they did not know that their letters were not ordinary letters. They were magic letters. They could make anything happen. And they were about to find out.
+
+Tom made the word "lion" with his letters. He liked lions. He thought they were brave and strong. He wanted to see a lion. Suddenly, he heard a roar. He looked up and saw an enormous lion in his classroom. The lion was friendly, but also hungry. It licked Tom's face and sniffed his lunch. Tom was scared and excited. He said, "Wow, a lion! How did you get here?"
+
+Lily made the word "cake" with her letters. She liked cake. She thought it was sweet and yummy. She wanted to eat a cake. Suddenly, she smelled something delicious. She looked up and saw an enormous cake in her classroom. The cake was frosted, but also hot. It melted on Lily's fingers and dripped on her book. Lily was happy and surprised. She said, "Wow, a cake! How did you get here?"
+
+Tom and Lily did not know that their letters were connected. They did not know that whatever they made with their letters, the other one would see it too. They did not know that they were about to have the most amazing day of their lives. And they did not know that they were about to learn a very important lesson. They did not know that sometimes, separating can be fun.
+Tim and Jen are playing in their room. They have many toys and clothes. They like to dress up and pretend. Tim is a pirate and Jen is a princess.
+
+"Arrr, give me your jewels, princess!" Tim says. He has a hanger in his hand. He thinks it is a sword.
+
+"No, no, you can't have them, pirate!" Jen says. She has a necklace and a crown. She thinks they are real.
+
+They run and chase each other. They laugh and have fun. But then, Tim trips on a rug. He falls and drops the hanger. It rolls under the bed.
+
+"Oh no, I lost my sword!" Tim says. He looks under the bed. He can't see the hanger. It is too dark.
+
+"Don't worry, pirate, I will help you find it," Jen says. She is a nice princess. She gets a flashlight and shines it under the bed.
+
+They see many things under the bed. They see books, socks, balls, and a teddy bear. But they don't see the hanger.
+
+"Where is it? Where is it?" Tim says. He is sad. He likes his sword.
+
+"Maybe it is behind the dresser," Jen says. She moves the flashlight. She sees something shiny. It is the hanger.
+
+"Look, pirate, I found it!" Jen says. She reaches for the hanger. She gives it to Tim.
+
+"Thank you, princess, you are the best!" Tim says. He is happy. He hugs Jen.

+Tom is a small boy who likes to learn new things. He likes to play with his toys, read his books, and help his mom and dad. One day, he sees a switch on the wall. He wonders what it does.
+
+He asks his mom, "Mom, what is this switch for?" His mom says, "That switch turns on the light. When it is dark, you can push the switch up and the light will come on. When it is bright, you can push the switch down and the light will go off. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Tom nods and reaches for the switch. He pushes it up and the light comes on. He smiles and says, "Wow, that is cool!" He pushes it down and the light goes off. He says, "Wow, that is fun!" He pushes it up and down again and again. He laughs and says, "I learned how to use the switch!"
+
+His mom smiles and says, "I'm glad you learned something new, Tom. But don't play with the switch too much. It might break or waste electricity. How about we read a book together instead?"
+
+Tom agrees and puts down the switch. He picks up a book and says, "Mom, can you read me this book? It has pictures of animals. I want to learn their names." His mom says, "Sure, Tom. I love to read with you. Let's go to the couch and read the book." They go to the couch and read the book. Tom learns the names of many animals. He is happy and hugs his mom. He says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best!" His mom says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are the best, too!" They cuddle and read until it is time for bed.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them, but they had no bread. They saw a man who sold bread for cheap. They asked their mom for some money, but she said no. She said they had to save money for food and clothes.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad, but they had an idea. They saw a big bag of bread behind the man. They thought he would not notice if they took some. They waited until he looked away, and then they crawled to the bag. They grabbed some bread and ran to the pond.
+
+They threw the bread to the ducks and the fish. They were happy to see them eat. They did not see the big eyes and teeth under the water. It was a crocodile who was hungry too. He saw the twins and their bread. He thought they would be a good snack. He crawled out of the water and opened his mouth.
+
+Ben and Mia screamed when they saw the crocodile. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The crocodile caught them and ate them. Their mom heard their screams and ran to the pond. She saw the crocodile and the bread. She cried and cried. She wished she had given them some money for the bread.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not steal, or you might get eaten by a crocodile.

+
+Sara is sad and angry. She runs to her room and cries. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She thinks he is mean and selfish. She sees her doll on the bed. She loves her doll, but she thinks maybe Ben would like it too. She remembers that her mom told her that sharing is good and makes people happy. She decides to share her doll with Ben and say sorry for the fight.
+
+She takes her doll and goes to Ben's room. She knocks on the door and says, "Ben, I am sorry for the fight. I want to share my doll with you. Do you want to play with me?"

+Mom tells Tom to tidy up his blocks when he is done playing. She says he has to put them back in the box where they belong. She says it is good to be tidy and not leave things around. Tom nods and says he will tidy up.
+
+But sometimes Tom does not want to tidy up. He has an urge to drop his blocks instead. He thinks it is fun to see them bounce and roll and make noise. He likes to drop them from his bed or his chair or his table. He likes to drop them on his toys or his books or his clothes.
+
+One day, Tom has a big urge to drop his blocks. He picks up a handful of them and climbs on his dresser. He sees his mom's vase on the shelf. It is shiny and pretty and has flowers in it. Tom thinks it would be fun to drop his blocks on the vase. He does not think about what will happen.
+
+He drops his blocks on the vase. The vase breaks with a loud crash. The water spills and the flowers fall. The blocks scatter everywhere. Tom is scared and surprised. He hears his mom coming. He knows he did a bad thing. He wishes he had tidied up his blocks instead.

+
+Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you are being rude and selfish. You have to think of others and not just yourself. Your trumpet is bothering me and your dad and your brother. How would you feel if they made loud noises when you were trying to do something?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She did not like it when her brother played his drums or when her dad watched his sports on TV. She said, "I would feel sad and angry, mom. I would want them to stop."
+
+Mom said, "That's right, Lily. You would want them to stop. And they would stop if you asked them nicely. So, can you do the same for me and stop playing your trumpet?"

+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She was still gifted, but she also learned to be careful. She hugged her mom and thanked her. Then, she asked if she could try the wagon again.

+Sam wanted to play with Tom and Lily, but they did not want to play with him. They thought he was strange and they did not understand him. They hid their toys from him and told him to go away. Sam felt sad and lonely. He did not have any toys or friends in his new country.
+
+Sam saw a shiny car toy on a shelf. He liked cars and he wanted to play with it. He thought Tom and Lily would not notice if he took it. He reached for the car and put it in his pocket. He did not know that he was stealing. He thought he was just borrowing.

+One day, a brown fox was looking for food in the forest. He saw a big hen house with many chickens inside. He thought, "I am hungry. I want to eat a chicken." He crept closer to the hen house, but he did not see the farmer's dog sleeping near the door.
+

+The fox saw a hole in the fence and tried to squeeze through it. But he was too big and got stuck. He could not move. He felt the dog's teeth on his tail. He cried, "Help, help! Let me go, dog! I am sorry, I will not come back!"
+
+The farmer heard the noise and came out of his house. He saw the fox and the dog. He said, "Oh, you naughty fox! You wanted to steal my chickens, did you? Well, you are lucky that my dog is not too mean. He will not hurt you, but you have to learn your lesson. I will free you, but you have to promise me that you will never come back here again. Do you understand?"
+
+The fox nodded his head. He said, "Yes, yes, I understand. I promise, I promise. Please, free me, farmer. I am sorry, I was hungry." The farmer pulled the fox out of the hole and let him go. The fox ran away as fast as he could. He was still scared and ashamed. He thought, "I will never panic and try to steal chickens again. It is too dangerous and wrong. I will look for other food in the forest." He hoped that the dog and the farmer would forgive him. He also hoped that his tail would heal soon. He did not like the bite marks on it.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were rockets and zoom around the grass. Sara had a red cape and Ben had a blue one. They made loud noises as they flew.

+Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a little bird on the ground. It was not moving.
+
+"Oh no, the bird is hurt!" Lily said. She ran to the bird and picked it up. She felt its chest. It was very warm.
+
+"Put it down, Lily. It might bite you!" Sam said. He was worry. He did not like birds. They had sharp beaks and claws.
+
+"No, Sam. The bird needs help. It is sick. We have to be compassionate." Lily said. She looked at the bird's eyes. They were sad.
+
+"What can we do, Lily?" Sam asked. He did not want to see his friend sad.
+
+"We can take it to the vet. The vet is a nice person who helps animals." Lily said. She wrapped the bird in her scarf and held it close to her chest.
+
+"OK, Lily. Let's go to the vet. Maybe he can make the bird better." Sam said. He followed Lily to the vet. He hoped the bird would be OK. He was still worry, but he wanted to be compassionate too. He was a good friend.
+Sam and Ben are friends who like to play together. One day, they see a big factory near their park. They are curious and want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's go in and look," Sam says. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"No, Sam, that is not a good idea," Ben says. "The factory is not for kids. It is for grown-ups who work there. They make things with machines and tools. It can be dangerous."
+
+But Sam does not listen to Ben. He runs to the factory gate and tries to open it. It is locked, but he sees a hole in the fence. He crawls through the hole and enters the factory yard.
+
+"Sam, come back!" Ben shouts. "You are being naughty. You have to keep away from the factory. It is not a place to play."
+
+Ben follows Sam through the hole. He is scared and wants to get Sam out. He sees Sam running towards a big building with a sign that says "Warehouse". He runs after him and tries to catch him.
+
+Inside the warehouse, there are many boxes and crates. Sam thinks they are like toys and starts to open them. He finds different things, like wires, buttons, wheels, and lights. He thinks they are fun and starts to play with them.
+
+"Sam, stop it!" Ben says. "You are making a mess. You have to keep the things in the boxes. They are not yours. They belong to the grown-ups who work here. They will be angry if they see you."
+
+But Sam does not stop. He keeps playing with the things. He connects some wires and pushes some buttons. He does not know what he is doing. He makes a loud noise and a bright flash. He sets off an alarm.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sam says. "What is that?"
+
+"It is an alarm, Sam," Ben says. "You have done something bad. You have to keep alert. The grown-ups will come and find us. They will be very mad. We have to run and hide."
+
+Sam and Ben are scared. They hear footsteps and voices. They see grown-ups in uniforms and hats. They are the security guards. They have radios and flashlights. They are looking for the intruders.
+
+"Who is there?" one guard says. "Show yourselves. You are in trouble."
+
+Sam and Ben do not show themselves. They keep quiet and still. They hide behind a crate. They hope the guards will not see them. They wish they had not gone into the factory. They wish they had listened to Ben. They wish they could go back to the park and play.

+
+Ben says, "Yes, we are. But watch out! There is a bad witch who wants to hurt us. She has a bottle of poison. She is very sneaky and mean."
+
+Sara and Ben look around. They see a black cat hiding behind a chair. They think it is the witch. They grab their toys and run to the cat. They shout, "Go away, witch! You cannot poison us! We are stronger than you!"

+One day, a boy and a girl went to the sea with their dad. They wanted to see a whale, but they did not see any. The boy was sad and angry. He said, "This is not fair! I want to see a whale now!"
+
+The girl was kind and patient. She said, "Maybe we will see a whale later. We have to wait and be quiet. Whales are shy and do not like noise."

+
+The girl was sad and scared. She said, "Please stop, brother. You are making the sea angry. You are hurting the animals. You are not being nice."

+
+The girl was amazed and happy. She said, "Wow! A whale! It is so big and beautiful! It is saying hello to us!"
+
+The whale made a loud noise. It sounded like a song. It was a friendly and gentle noise. It was saying, "Hello, little ones. I am sorry I was late. I was hiding from the noise. I do not like noise. I like peace and quiet. I like the sea and the animals. I like you."
+
+The boy felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, whale. I was wrong. I was making noise. I was hurting the sea and the animals. I was not being nice. I was not being fair."
+
+The girl smiled and said, "It is okay, brother. You can say sorry to the sea and the animals. You can be nice and fair. You can enjoy the whale and the sea. You can be happy."
+
+The boy nodded and said, "Yes, sister. You are right. I can do that. I can be happy."
+
+The whale smiled and said, "That is good, little ones. I am happy too. I am happy to meet you. I am happy to share the sea with you. I am happy to be your friend."
+
+The boy and the girl hugged each other and the whale. They thanked the whale for coming. They said goodbye to the whale. They went back to their dad. They told him about the whale. They were happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be patient, kind and fair. Do not make noise and hurt the sea and the animals. Enjoy the beauty and wonder of nature. Be happy and make friends.
+Tom and Sue like to play with mud. They find a big bucket and fill it with water. Then they add dirt and leaves and sticks. They mix and mix with their hands and spoons. They make a big pile of mud.
+
+"Look, I made a cake!" Sue says. She puts a piece of mud on a plate. She adds a flower on top. "Do you want some?"
+
+"No, thank you," Tom says. He has a different idea. He sees a dead bird on the ground. It has no feathers and no eyes. It smells bad. Tom thinks it is funny. He picks it up and puts it in the bucket. He mixes and mixes with his hands and spoons. He makes a big ball of mud and bird.
+
+"Look, I made a monster!" Tom says. He puts the ball of mud and bird on a plate. He adds two rocks for eyes and a stick for a mouth. "Do you want some?"
+
+"Yuck, no!" Sue says. She is scared and angry. She does not like Tom's monster. She thinks it is gross and mean. She pushes the plate away. The ball of mud and bird falls off the plate and rolls on the ground. It hits a rock and breaks apart. The dead bird comes out of the mud. Sue screams and runs away. Tom laughs and laughs.

+Tom and Anna were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very happy because they liked to see the animals. They got in the car and mom drove on the road.
+
+But soon they saw many cars in front of them. They were not moving. Mom said, "Oh no, there is a lot of traffic. This is terrible. We might be late for the zoo."
+
+Tom and Anna were sad. They did not want to miss the zoo. They asked mom, "Why are there so many cars? Can we go another way?"
+
+Mom said, "There was an accident on the road. The police and the ambulance are trying to help. We have to wait until they clear the way. There is no other way to the zoo."
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry for the people who had the accident. They hoped they were okay. They also hoped the traffic would move soon. They looked out the window and tried to find something fun to see.

+Tim and Lily liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big book with pictures of stars and planets and other things in the sky. One night, they saw a bright light moving fast across the sky. It was a comet, their book said. A comet was a big ball of ice and dust that flew around the sun. Sometimes, it came close to the earth and people could see it.
+
+Tim and Lily wanted to see the comet better. They asked their dad if he could supply them with a telescope. A telescope was a thing that made things far away look bigger and clearer. Their dad said yes, and he got a telescope from his friend. He set it up in the backyard and showed Tim and Lily how to use it. They took turns looking at the comet through the telescope. It was beautiful. It had a long tail of different colors.
+
+Tim and Lily were very happy. They thanked their dad and hugged him. They said they wanted to watch the comet every night until it went away. Their dad said that was fine, but they had to be careful. He said the comet was harmless, but sometimes it could have small pieces that broke off and fell to the earth. He said those pieces were called meteorites, and they could be very hot and dangerous. He said they had to stay away from them if they saw them.
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They said they understood. They said they would be careful. They went back to the telescope and looked at the comet some more. They did not see any meteorites. They thought the comet was friendly and nice.
+
+But they were wrong. The comet was not friendly and nice. It was angry and mean. It did not like people looking at it. It wanted to be alone. It decided to teach Tim and Lily a lesson. It waited until they were not looking, and then it broke off a big piece of itself. It threw the piece at the earth, right where Tim and Lily were. It made a loud noise and a bright flash. It hit the ground with a big boom. It made a big hole and a big fire. It burned everything around it.
+
+Tim and Lily did not have time to run or scream. They did not have time to say goodbye to their dad or their book or their telescope. They did not have time to do anything. They were gone. The comet had killed them. The comet was happy. It flew away, leaving behind a trail of smoke and sadness.

+"Look, Sam, I have a drum! It makes loud sounds. Do you want to try?" Tim says.
+
+Sam nods. He likes drums too. He holds the drum and taps it with his hands. It makes a boom-boom sound. He smiles.
+
+"Wow, Tim, your drum is fun! Can I play with it some more?" Sam asks.
+
+Tim thinks. He likes his drum a lot. But he also likes Sam. He is his friend. He wants to share with him. He is generous.
+
+"Sure, Sam, you can play with it. We can take turns. You are my friend. Friends share." Tim says.
+
+Sam is happy. He thanks Tim. They play with the drum together. They make loud sounds. They laugh. They have fun. They are good friends.
+Lila was a giraffe who liked to stretch her long neck and eat the green leaves on the trees. She was very helpful and kind to her friends in the jungle. One day, she saw a monkey who was stuck on a branch and could not get down.
+
+"Hello, monkey. Do you need help?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, please. I climbed too high and now I am scared. Can you stretch your neck and lift me down?" the monkey said.
+
+"Of course. I am happy to help you. Hold on to my head and I will lower you to the ground." Lila said.
+
+Lila stretched her neck and reached the monkey. The monkey grabbed her head and thanked her. But then, he did something very bad. He bit Lila's ear and made her cry out in pain. He laughed and ran away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Why did you do that? I was trying to help you!" Lila said.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha! You are so silly and gullible. I don't need your help. I just wanted to have some fun. Bye, bye, stupid giraffe!" the monkey said.
+
+Lila felt very hurt and sad. She wished she had not been so helpful and trusting. She learned a hard lesson that day. Not everyone is nice and grateful. Some people are mean and selfish. She decided to be more careful and wise next time. She hoped the monkey would get what he deserved someday.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't let your kindness be taken advantage of by ungrateful and cruel people.

+"Look, Ben, roses are so pretty!" Anna says. She picks a rose and smells it. "It smells good, too!"
+
+"Can I have one, Anna?" Ben asks. He reaches for a rose, but he pricks his finger on a thorn. "Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. He drops the rose and holds his finger.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asks. She runs to him and hugs him. "I'm sorry, Ben. Roses have thorns. They can hurt you."
+
+"It's okay, Anna. It's not your fault." Ben says. He wipes his tears. "But I don't want roses anymore. They are mean."
+
+"Me neither." Anna says. She throws away the rose. "Let's gather some daisies and violets. They are nice and soft."
+
+"Okay." Ben says. He smiles. They run to the other flowers and gather some daisies and violets. They make two bouquets, one for each mom.
+
+"Look, we have flowers for our moms!" Anna says. She holds her bouquet.
+
+"They will love them!" Ben says. He holds his bouquet.
+
+They run to their moms and give them the flowers. Their moms hug them and thank them.

+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, wide tree. It has many branches and leaves.
+
+"Let's climb the tree!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and holds a branch. He pulls himself up.
+
+"Wait for me!" Lily says. She follows Tom and holds another branch. She climbs up too.
+
+They reach a high place in the tree. They can see the whole park. They feel happy and excited.
+
+"Look, there is a bird nest!" Tom says. He points to a small, round nest on a branch. He sees some eggs inside.
+
+"Wow, can we see the eggs?" Lily says. She is nosy. She wants to know more.
+
+"Be careful, don't touch them!" Tom says. He knows the eggs are not for them. They belong to the bird.
+
+But Lily does not listen. She moves closer to the nest. She reaches out her hand. She wants to hold an egg.
+
+Suddenly, a loud sound makes them jump. It is the bird. It is angry. It flies to the nest. It flaps its wings. It pecks at Lily's hand.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. She lets go of the egg. She holds her hand. It hurts.
+
+"Run, run, run!" Tom says. He grabs Lily's other hand. He helps her down the tree. They run away from the bird.
+
+They learn a lesson. They should not be nosy. They should not touch things that are not theirs. They should respect the bird and its eggs. They say sorry to the bird. They hope it forgives them.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a secret shelter under a big tree. They kept their toys and books there.
+
+One day, a storm came. The sky was dark and loud. The wind was strong and cold. Lily and Ben ran to their shelter. They hugged each other and waited for the storm to pass.
+
+But the storm was too strong. It broke the big tree. It crushed their shelter. It ruined their toys and books. Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried and cried.
+
+A lady saw them. She was kind and gentle. She came to them and said, "Don't cry, little ones. I have a warm and cozy house. You can come with me. I have more toys and books for you. You can share them with me."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at her. They were scared and shy. They did not know her. But they were cold and wet. They needed a place to stay. They nodded and followed her.
+
+The lady took them to her house. It was small and old. But it was clean and bright. It had a fireplace and a sofa. It had a shelf full of toys and books. Some of them were rare and special. The lady said, "These are my treasures. I value them very much. But I value you more. You are my new friends. You can play with them and read them. But be careful and gentle. Don't break them or lose them."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They thanked the lady. They played with the toys and read the books. They were careful and gentle. They did not break them or lose them. They learned new things and had fun. They forgot about the storm and their shelter.
+
+The lady was happy. She watched them and said, "You are very good children. You respect my treasures. You share them with each other. You are kind and polite. You make me happy. You are my treasures too."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged the lady. They said, "You are very good too. You helped us when we were sad. You gave us a home and a family. You shared your treasures with us. You are kind and generous. You make us happy. You are our treasure too."
+
+The storm passed. The sun came out. But Lily and Ben did not want to leave. They wanted to stay with the lady. They wanted to be her friends. They wanted to be her treasures. And she wanted them too. They were happy together. They had a new shelter. They had a new treasure. They had each other.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy trucks. They had many trucks of different colors and sizes, and they liked to load them with rocks, sticks, and leaves. They pretended they were workers who had to deliver the loads to different places.
+
+One day, they decided to play on the hill behind their house. It had a nice view of the fields and the river, and they thought it would be fun to drive their trucks up and down the hill. They took their favorite trucks and some loads and started to play.
+
+"Look, Sam, I can load my truck with more rocks than you!" Tom said, as he filled his red truck with big and heavy rocks. "My truck is stronger and faster than yours!"
+
+"No, it's not, Tom!" Sam said, as he loaded his blue truck with smaller and lighter rocks. "My truck is smarter and more careful than yours!"
+
+They argued and boasted as they drove their trucks up the hill. But when they reached the top, they saw a problem. The hill was steep and slippery, and their trucks could not go down easily. Tom's truck was too heavy and it slid down too fast. It crashed into a tree and broke its wheels. Sam's truck was too light and it flipped over and over. It landed in a ditch and lost its load.
+
+Tom and Sam were sad and scared. They ran to their trucks and tried to fix them, but they could not. They cried and wished they had not played on the hill.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry I said my truck was smarter than yours," Sam said, as he hugged his brother.
+
+"Sam, I'm sorry I said my truck was stronger than yours," Tom said, as he hugged him back.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that it was not good to be proud and mean to each other. They learned that they should be humble and kind to each other. They learned that they were both gifted with different trucks and loads, and they should share and help each other. They learned that playing on the hill was not worth losing their trucks and their view. They learned that playing together was more fun and safe than playing alone.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside with their stuff. They have a ball, a bike, a doll and a car. They share their stuff and have fun.
+
+One day, it starts to rain. The rain is wet and cold. Lily and Tom run inside their house. They are sad. They want to play outside with their stuff.
+
+"Can we play with our stuff inside?" Lily asks her mom.
+
+"No, honey. Your stuff is dirty and wet. You have to wait until the rain stops." Mom says.
+
+Lily and Tom are bored. They look around the house. They see a big box. The box is smooth and brown. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's play with the box!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Lily says.
+
+They take the box to the living room. They make a fort with the box. They pretend the box is a castle, a spaceship, a boat and a cave. They have fun.
+
+The rain stops. The sun comes out. Lily and Tom go outside with their stuff. They are happy. They play with their stuff and the box. They are friends.
+Lily was a curious girl. She liked to do many things. She liked to draw, to sing, to play, and to ask questions. She wanted to know everything.
+
+One day, she saw an old man in the park. He had white hair, a long beard, and a cane. He was sitting on a bench and feeding the birds. Lily was curious about him. She walked to him and said, "Hello, old man. What are you doing?"
+
+The old man smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. I am feeding the birds. They are my friends. Do you like birds?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like birds. They are pretty and they sing. Can I feed them too?"
+
+The old man said, "Of course, you can. Here, take some bread from my bag and throw it to them. They will come to you."
+
+Lily did as he said and soon she was surrounded by birds. They pecked at the bread and chirped happily. Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She said, "This is fun! Thank you, old man."
+
+The old man said, "You are welcome, little girl. You are very kind and curious. What is your name?"
+
+Lily said, "My name is Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The old man said, "My name is Ben. I am glad to meet you, Lily. Do you want to hear a story?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. I love stories. What kind of story?"
+
+The old man said, "A story about birds and people and magic. Do you like magic?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I like magic. Tell me the story, Ben."
+
+The old man said, "OK, Lily. Listen carefully. Once upon a time..."
+Ben likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park and see many things. They see birds, trees, flowers and people. Ben likes to say hello to everyone.
+
+One day, they see a cop in the park. The cop has a big hat and a shiny badge. He also has a dog with him. The dog is black and brown and has a long tail.
+
+"Hello, cop!" Ben says. "Can I pet your dog?"
+
+The cop smiles and says, "Sure, you can. His name is Rex. He is a good dog. He helps me catch bad guys."
+
+Ben reaches out his hand and pets Rex. Rex wags his tail and licks Ben's face. Ben giggles and says, "He is soft and warm. I like him."
+
+Dad says, "Thank you, cop, for letting us pet your dog. You have a hard job, but you do it well."
+
+The cop says, "You're welcome, dad and Ben. You are very nice. Have a good jog."
+
+Ben and dad wave goodbye to the cop and Rex. They jog away, feeling happy and safe. They like the park and the cop and the dog.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a fat rabbit on the grass. The rabbit has big ears and a fluffy tail.
+
+"Look, a rabbit!" Tim says. "Let's hop like the rabbit!"
+
+"OK!" Sam says. They hop on the grass, following the rabbit. The rabbit sees them and hops faster.
+
+"Come back, rabbit!" Tim says. "We want to play with you!"
+
+But the rabbit does not want to play. It hops to a stand with carrots. The stand belongs to a farmer. The farmer sells carrots to people.
+
+The rabbit jumps on the stand and grabs a carrot. The farmer sees the rabbit and gets angry.
+
+"Hey, you fat rabbit!" the farmer says. "Stop stealing my carrots!"
+
+The farmer tries to catch the rabbit, but the rabbit is too fast. It hops off the stand and runs away.
+
+Tim and Sam see the farmer and the rabbit. They think it is funny. They laugh and hop after the rabbit.
+
+"Bye, farmer!" Tim says. "Bye, fat rabbit!"
+
+"Bye, bye!" Sam says.
+
+They hop and laugh until they reach the end of the park. Then they go home, happy and tired. They had a lot of fun hopping like the fat rabbit.
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. They wanted to see their toys and books.
+
+"Can we unpack this box, Mom?" Anna asked. She pointed to a big box in the living room.
+
+"Sure, honey. That box has some things from Grandma's house. She gave them to us before she went to heaven." Mom said. She opened the box with a knife.
+
+Anna and Ben looked inside the box. They saw a lot of old things. There were plates, cups, books, and pictures. But there was also something very big and heavy. It was wrapped in a cloth.
+
+"What is that, Mom?" Ben asked. He tried to lift the cloth, but it was too hard.
+
+"That is a statue, Ben. It is made of stone. It is very old and very special. Grandma loved it very much. She said it was from a faraway place." Mom said. She helped Ben to pull the cloth.
+
+Anna and Ben gasped. They saw an enormous statue of a man. He had a long beard, a big hat, and a stick. He looked very serious and wise.
+
+"Who is he, Mom?" Anna asked. She touched the statue's nose.
+
+"He is a king, Anna. His name is Solomon. He was a very good and smart king. He wrote many words in a big book. Grandma read them to me when I was little. She said they were words from God." Mom said. She smiled and hugged Anna and Ben.
+
+"Wow, he is amazing, Mom. Can we keep him in our house?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course, Ben. He is part of our family now. We can put him in a nice place, where we can see him every day. Maybe he can teach us some of his words." Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They liked the statue. They wanted to learn more about him. They thanked Mom and Grandma for the gift. They unpacked the rest of the box. They found more things to play with and read. They were very happy in their new house.
+Lily liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She was happy when she skipped. She felt like a bird.
+
+One day, Lily skipped too fast. She did not see the big rock on the road. She tripped and fell. She hurt her knee. It was bleeding and it hurt a lot. She cried and cried.
+
+Her mom came and picked her up. She took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He gave her a band-aid and a sticker. He said she would be fine.
+
+But Lily was not fine. Her knee got worse. It was red and hot and smelly. It had germs in it. The germs made her sick. She had a fever and a headache. She could not skip anymore. She was sad and scared.
+
+The doctor came again. He said he had to cut her knee. He said it was the only way to make her better. He gave her a shot to make her sleep. He used a knife and a saw. He cut off her leg. He threw it in the trash. He said he was sorry.
+
+Lily woke up. She saw her mom crying. She saw her bed had blood. She saw she had only one leg. She screamed and screamed. She wished she never skipped. She wished she never saw the rock. She wished she never went to the doctor. She wished she was a bird.

+
+But then, Tom wants to serve food to the dolls. He takes Anna's book and tears out some pages. He makes them into plates and cups. He puts them on the floor.
+
+Anna is angry. She likes her book. She does not want Tom to tear it. She says, "Stop! That is my book! Give it back!"
+
+Tom does not listen. He says, "No! I need it for the food! Go away!"
+
+Anna and Tom start to fight. They pull and push each other. They knock down the blocks. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the torn book. She is angry too. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why did you tear the book?"
+
+Tom and Anna feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing city. But we had a fight. We did not share. We did not listen."
+
+Mom says, "You need to be nice to each other. You need to share and listen. You need to respect your toys and books. They are not for tearing. They are for reading and learning."

+
+He ran to Lila and shouted, "These are my rocks! Go away!" He tried to grab Lila's rocks. Lila was scared. She held on to her rocks. She said, "No, these are my rocks! You go away!"
+
+They both pulled and pushed. They both yelled and cried. They were fierce. They did not want to give up. They made a lot of noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the hill. She saw Lila and the boy fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! Rocks are for everyone. You can share. There are enough rocks for both of you."
+
+She made Lila and the boy sit down and talk. She made them say sorry to each other. She made them trade some rocks. She made them smile and hug. She said, "Now, you can be friends. You can collect rocks together. You can have fun."

+Lily was very happy. It was her birthday and she had many gifts. She wanted to open them all, but her mom said she had to wait for her dad and her friends.
+
+"Can I shake them, mom?" Lily asked. She liked to guess what was inside the gifts by shaking them.
+
+"Only a little, Lily. Be careful not to break them," her mom said. She smiled and gave Lily a hug.
+
+Lily picked up a big gift with a red bow. She shook it gently and heard a rattle. "Maybe it's a toy snake," she said.
+
+She picked up another gift with a blue ribbon. She shook it harder and heard a squeak. "Maybe it's a stuffed mouse," she said.
+
+She picked up the last gift with a green paper. She shook it very hard and heard nothing. "Maybe it's a book," she said.
+
+She was about to open it when her dad came in. He had a big cake with candles. "Happy birthday, Lily!" he said. "Are you ready to make a wish?"
+
+Lily nodded and put down the gift. She blew out the candles and wished for something very special.
+
+She opened the green gift first. It was a book, but not any book. It was a book of stories about a wise owl who helped other animals. Lily loved owls. She hugged the book and thanked her dad.
+
+"This is the best gift ever, dad. How did you know I like owls?" she asked.
+
+"I know you, Lily. You are very smart and curious, just like the owl. And you like to learn new things, just like the stories. I hope you enjoy them," her dad said.
+
+Lily smiled and opened the other gifts. They were all wonderful, but the book was her favorite. She decided to read it with her dad every night. She felt very happy and lucky. She had a great birthday and a wise gift.
+Lily and Tom are playing with a toy car. The car has four wheels and a screw. The screw holds the wheels to the car. Lily likes to turn the screw with a tool. Tom likes to make the car go fast.
+
+"Let me turn the screw, Lily," Tom says. "I want to make the car go faster."
+
+"No, Tom, it is my turn," Lily says. "You had the tool before. I want to turn the screw."
+
+They start to fight over the tool and the screw. They pull and push and shout. The car falls to the floor. The screw comes out of the car. The wheels come off. The car is broken.
+
+"Oh no, look what we did," Lily says. "We broke the car. Now we can't play with it."
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I was being silly. I wanted to gain speed, but I lost the car."
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Tom," Lily says. "I was being mean. I wanted to turn the screw, but I lost the fun."
+
+They hug and say sorry. They pick up the car and the screw and the wheels. They try to fix the car. They need help.
+
+They go to mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. She is quiet. She does not hear them.
+
+"Mom, mom, can you help us?" Lily and Tom say. "We broke the car. We need to put the screw back."
+
+Mom turns around. She sees the car and the screw and the wheels. She sees Lily and Tom. She smiles.
+
+"Of course, I can help you," mom says. "But first, you need to help me. Can you be quiet for a minute? I have a surprise for you."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They are curious. They are quiet. They wait.
+
+Mom opens the oven. She takes out the cake. The cake is big and round and brown. It has icing and candles. It smells good.
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily and Tom!" mom says. "You are three years old today. This is your cake. You can share it with your friends."
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They clap and cheer. They forget about the car and the screw and the wheels. They hug mom and thank her. They blow the candles and make a wish. They have a party. They have fun.
+Lily loved to sing. She had a microphone that her dad gave her for her birthday. She liked to pretend she was a star on stage and sing her favorite songs. She always sang with a big smile and a loud voice.
+
+One day, she was singing in her room when her mom came in. "Lily, it's time for lunch. Come and eat, please," her mom said. Lily did not want to stop singing. She wanted to finish her song. She said, "No, mom, I want to sing more. I'm not hungry."
+
+Her mom was compassionate. She knew Lily loved to sing, but she also knew she needed to eat. She said, "How about this, Lily? You can sing one more song, but then you have to come and eat. And you can bring your microphone with you. Maybe you can sing for me and dad while we eat. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily liked that idea. She said, "Okay, mom, I will sing one more song. But it has to be a long song. And a fun song. And a loud song." Her mom agreed. She said, "Okay, Lily, you can sing a long, fun, loud song. But then you have to come and eat, okay?" Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom, I promise."
+
+Lily picked a song she knew very well. It was a song about animals and the sounds they make. She sang with all her heart and all her voice. She sang about cows and dogs and cats and birds and frogs and lions and monkeys and more. She sang so loud that her mom and dad could hear her from the kitchen. They smiled and clapped for her.
+
+Lily finished her song. She was very happy. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a great audience. I hope you liked my song." She grabbed her microphone and ran to the kitchen. She saw her mom and dad waiting for her with a plate of food. She said, "Hi, mom, hi, dad. I'm ready to eat now. But can I sing for you while I eat?" Her mom and dad laughed. They said, "Sure, Lily, you can sing for us while you eat. But don't forget to chew and swallow, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, mom, okay, dad. I will chew and swallow. But I will also sing. Because I love to sing. And I love you." She gave them a big hug and a big kiss. Then she sat down and ate her food. And she sang. And she was happy.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They were very happy and excited.
+
+"Look, mom, a giraffe!" Lily said, pointing to a large animal with a long neck and spots. "It is so tall!"
+
+"Yes, it is, sweetie," mom said. "Do you want to feed it some leaves?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They followed mom to a place where they could buy some leaves for the giraffe. Mom gave them each a handful of leaves and told them to be careful.
+
+Tom and Lily walked slowly to the fence where the giraffe was. They held out their leaves and waited for the giraffe to come closer. The giraffe saw them and stretched its neck towards them.
+
+"Wow, it has a big tongue!" Tom said, as the giraffe licked his palm and took the leaves. "It tickles!"
+
+Lily giggled and tried to feed the giraffe too. But as she did, something else appeared behind the giraffe. It was another animal, but it looked very different. It had a big horn on its nose and a gray skin. It was a rhino!
+
+The rhino snorted and pushed the giraffe aside. It wanted the leaves too. It ran towards Tom and Lily, who were scared and dropped their leaves.
+
+"Mom, help!" Tom and Lily cried, as they ran back to mom.
+
+Mom hugged them and told them not to worry. She said the rhino was not mean, just hungry. She said they should let the rhino have the leaves and watch from a safe distance.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and calmed down. They watched as the rhino ate the leaves and walked away. They learned that the zoo had many different and amazing animals. They decided to see more of them and have more fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Sometimes they go to the gym with their moms. The gym has a big room with toys and mats. Lily and Ben can jump, roll, slide and swing there.
+
+One day, Lily's mom is sick. She cannot drive Lily to the gym. Lily is sad. She wants to see Ben and play. She calls Ben on the phone.
+
+"Hi, Ben. I cannot go to the gym today. My mom is sick. She cannot drive."
+
+"Oh, no. I am sorry, Lily. I want to play with you. Can you ask your dad to drive you?"
+
+"My dad is at work. He cannot drive me either. I have to stay home."
+
+Lily and Ben are quiet. They do not know what to do. Then, Ben has an idea.
+
+"I know. I can ask my mom to drive you. She is reliable. She always drives me to the gym. She can pick you up and bring you back. Do you want to come?"
+
+"Yes, please. That would be nice. Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend."
+
+"OK. I will tell my mom. She will be there soon. Bye, Lily."
+
+"Bye, Ben. See you at the gym."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They can go to the gym and play together. They have fun. They thank Ben's mom for driving them. They hug and say goodbye. They are glad they have reliable moms and friends.
+Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy put a thermometer in her mouth to see how hot she was. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny.
+
+"Beep beep!" The thermometer made a noise. Mommy took it out and looked at it. She frowned. "Oh, Lily, you have a fever. You need to rest and drink some water."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. She did not want to rest and drink water. She wanted to have fun.
+
+She saw her teddy bear on the bed. She reached for it and hugged it. She whispered in its ear. "Teddy, I'm sick. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Teddy did not answer. He was a toy. He could not talk. But Lily pretended he could. She made a silly voice for him. "Yes, Lily, I want to play with you. But we have to be quiet. Mommy said you need to rest."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked to pretend with Teddy. She said, "OK, Teddy, we can play quietly. Do you want to meet my thermometer? It is a funny thing. It can tell how hot you are."
+
+She put the thermometer in Teddy's mouth. She waited for it to beep. She looked at it and said, "Wow, Teddy, you are very hot. You are hotter than me. Do you feel sick too?"
+
+Teddy said, in Lily's silly voice, "No, Lily, I don't feel sick. I feel warm and cozy. I like the thermometer. It is a nice thing. It makes me feel happy."
+
+Lily laughed. She thought Teddy was silly. She said, "Teddy, you are silly. The thermometer is not a nice thing. It is a boring thing. It does not make me feel happy. It makes me feel icky."
+
+She took the thermometer out of Teddy's mouth and threw it on the floor. She said, "Let's play something else. Something fun. Something that does not beep."
+
+Teddy said, "OK, Lily, let's play something else. What do you want to play?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Let's play dress up. I have some hats and scarves and gloves in my closet. We can pretend we are going to a party."
+
+Teddy said, "That sounds fun. Let's play dress up. But we have to be quiet. Mommy said you need to rest."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Teddy, we will be quiet. But we will also be silly. Silly is fun."
+
+She got up from the bed and opened her closet. She took out some hats and scarves and gloves. She put them on herself and Teddy. She looked at them in the mirror. She giggled. They looked very silly. She said, "Teddy, we are ready for the party. Let's go."
+
+She took Teddy by the hand and walked to the door. She opened it and saw Mommy standing there. Mommy looked surprised. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You are supposed to be resting. And what are you wearing?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Mommy, this is Teddy. He is my friend. We are playing dress up. We are going to a party. Do you want to come?"
+
+Mommy shook her head. She said, "Lily, you are very silly. But you are also very cute. And I love you. But you need to go back to bed. You are still sick. And you need to take your medicine. And you need to pick up your thermometer. You can't leave it on the floor."
+
+Lily pouted. She said, "But Mommy, we are having fun. We don't want to go back to bed. We don't want to take medicine. We don't want to pick up the thermometer. We want to go to the party."
+
+Mommy smiled. She said, "I know, Lily, I know. But you have to do what I say. Because I know what is best for you. And I want you to get better soon. So you can play with Teddy and your other toys and watch TV. And maybe go to a real party someday. But for now, you have to rest and drink water. And be a good girl."
+
+Lily sighed. She said, "OK, Mommy, OK. I will do what you say. I will go back to bed. I will take my medicine. I will pick up my thermometer. I will be a good girl. But can I keep Teddy with me? He makes me feel happy."
+
+Mommy nodded. She said,
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ambulance. They pretended to be doctors and help people who were hurt.
+
+One day, they had a fight over who could play with the ambulance. Ben wanted to drive it and Lily wanted to push the siren. They both pulled the toy hard and tried to separate it from each other. They shouted and cried and did not listen to their mom.
+
+Suddenly, the ambulance broke in two pieces. Ben and Lily were very sad and sorry. They had ruined their best toy and hurt each other's feelings. They hugged and said they were sorry.
+
+Their mom came and saw what happened. She was not angry, but she was disappointed. She said, "You should not fight over your toys. You should share and take turns. That is what good friends do. Fighting only makes things worse. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said they understood. They learned their lesson and promised to be nice to each other. They asked their mom if she could fix the ambulance. She said she would try, but it would not be easy. She said they should be more careful with their things and respect each other.
+
+Ben and Lily agreed and thanked their mom. They decided to play with their other toys and wait for the ambulance to be fixed. They hoped it would be soon, because they still loved to play doctors and help people who were hurt.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play together. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a red wallet that their dad gave them. They liked to pretend that the wallet was full of money and that they could buy anything they wanted.
+
+One day, they had a big fight over the wallet. Tim wanted to use it to buy a candy, but Kim wanted to use it to buy a balloon. They both pulled the wallet hard and it ripped in half. They each had a piece of the wallet, but they were not happy. They started to cry and ran to their mom.
+
+Mom saw the torn wallet and the sad twins. She hugged them and said, "Why did you fight over the wallet? It was a gift from dad to both of you. You should share it and play nicely. Fighting only makes you lose what you love."
+
+Tim and Kim felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They asked mom to fix the wallet with some tape. Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. Uniting is better than dividing. When you unite, you have more love and more fun."
+
+She fixed the wallet and gave it back to the twins. They thanked her and went to play outside. It was a cold day, but they felt warm in their hearts. They decided to use the wallet to buy a candy and a balloon and share them. They were happy and united.
+Anna was a princess who liked to complain. She complained about her dress, her food, her toys, and her friends. She always wanted more and better things. Her mom and dad, the king and the queen, were sad and tired of her complaints.
+
+One day, a big storm came and blew away the roof of the castle. Anna was scared and cold. She ran to her mom and dad and cried. "I want my dress, my food, my toys, and my friends! I want a new roof! I want everything to be the same!"
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "Anna, we are sorry that you are scared and cold, but we have to be thankful for what we have. We have each other, and we have a safe place to stay. We have some food and water, and we have some blankets and pillows. We have to share and help each other. We have to be kind and brave."
+
+Anna looked around and saw that many people in the castle were helping to fix the roof, to cook the food, to clean the mess, and to comfort the children. She also saw some unknown people who came from the village to help. They brought some bread, some cheese, some milk, and some toys. They smiled and said hello to Anna and the other princesses and princes.
+
+Anna felt ashamed and sorry for her complaints. She realized that she had been selfish and ungrateful. She decided to change and to be more like her mom and dad. She said, "Mom, dad, I am sorry for complaining so much. I want to help and share and be kind and brave. I want to thank the unknown people who came to help us. They are very nice and generous. Can I give them some of my toys?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Anna, we are proud of you. You are a good princess. You can give them some of your toys, and we will give them some of our clothes and jewels. They are our friends and neighbors. We are all in this together."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They had a bucket and a shovel each. They were happy.
+
+But then they saw something shiny in the distance. It looked like water. They were thirsty and hot. They wanted to see the water. They left their toys and ran towards the shiny thing.
+
+"Look, Lily, it's an oasis!" Tom said. He knew the word from a book. "Maybe there are trees and fruits and animals there."
+
+Lily nodded. She was curious. She wanted to see the oasis too. She hoped there were flowers and birds and fish there.
+
+But when they got closer, they saw that the shiny thing was not water. It was a big mirror. Someone had put it in the sand to trick them. There was no oasis. There was only more sand.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They felt cheated. They wanted to find the person who did this. They wanted to tell them that it was not nice.
+
+"Who would do such a thing?" Tom asked. He was confused.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. She was disappointed.
+
+They looked around, but they saw no one. They were alone in the sand. They wished they had stayed with their toys. They wished they had not run after the shiny thing. They wished they had not been so curious.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they decided to have a fun challenge. They wanted to see who could jump higher on their bed.
+
+"I can jump higher than you!" Anna said to Ben.
+
+"No, you can't! I can jump higher than you!" Ben said to Anna.
+
+They both started to jump on their bed, bouncing up and down. They laughed and shouted as they tried to reach the ceiling. The ceiling was very high and white and had a light.
+
+"Look, I can touch the ceiling!" Anna said, stretching her hand.
+
+"No, you can't! You are too small!" Ben said, jumping higher.
+
+"Yes, I can! Watch me!" Anna said, jumping even higher.
+
+But as she jumped, she hit her head on the light. The light broke and fell on the bed. Anna and Ben stopped jumping and screamed. They were scared and hurt. The bed was broken and the room was dark.
+
+Their mom and dad heard the noise and ran to their room. They saw the mess and the broken light and the twins crying. They were angry and worried.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"We were jumping on the bed and we broke the light!" Anna said.
+
+"Why were you jumping on the bed? You know that is dangerous and naughty!" Dad said.
+
+"We were bored and we wanted to have fun and see who could touch the ceiling!" Ben said.
+
+"That was a silly and risky thing to do! You could have hurt yourself or each other! You are lucky you are not badly injured!" Mom said.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We won't do it again!" Anna and Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them and checked their heads. They were not bleeding, but they had bumps. They gave them some ice and some kisses and took them to the living room. They cleaned up the room and fixed the bed and the light.
+
+They told Anna and Ben that they should not jump on the bed or any other furniture, because it is not safe or respectful. They said that they should find other ways to have fun and use their imagination, like reading or drawing or playing with their toys. They said that they should be happy with what they have and not try to reach things that are too high or too hard for them. They said that they should be grateful for their ordinary life and their ordinary ceiling, because they are lucky and loved.
+
+Anna and Ben learned their lesson and said sorry again. They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for their care and advice. They promised to be good and careful and happy. They realized that jumping on the bed was not worth it and that their ordinary ceiling was just fine.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and run in the park. But today, they have a fight. Lily wants to play with the doll, and Ben wants to play with the car. They both pull the toy and say, "Mine!"
+
+"Stop it!" Mom says. "You have to share. Lily, you can play with the doll for five minutes, and then give it to Ben. Ben, you can play with the car for five minutes, and then give it to Lily. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod, but they are not happy. They play with the toy, but they do not look at each other. They do not smile or laugh. They count the minutes until they can switch.
+
+After a while, Mom says, "Time to go. We have to leave. Say goodbye to your friend."
+
+Lily and Ben put the toy down. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to leave angry.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily says. "I was mean. You can play with the doll."
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I was mean. You can play with the car."
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy again.
+
+"Bye, Lily," Ben says.
+
+"Bye, Ben," Lily says.
+
+They wave and leave. They are still friends.
+Lily was a fish who loved to swim. She swam fast and slow, high and low, in the big blue sea. She had many friends who swam with her. They played games and had fun.
+
+One day, Lily saw a shiny thing on the sand. She swam closer to see what it was. It was a pearl. It was round and white and pretty. Lily wanted to have it. She thought it would make her happy.
+
+But then she saw a big crab who was guarding the pearl. The crab had sharp claws and a mean face. He said, "This is my pearl. Go away, little fish. If you come near, I will pinch you."
+
+Lily was scared, but she still wanted the pearl. She thought of a way to get it. She said, "Mr. Crab, you are very strong and smart. You have a lot of wisdom. Can you teach me how to swim like you?"
+
+The crab was surprised. He liked to hear nice words. He said, "Well, thank you, little fish. You are very polite and clever. I can teach you how to swim like me. Come closer and I will show you."
+
+Lily swam closer to the crab. She pretended to listen to his lessons. But when he was not looking, she quickly grabbed the pearl and swam away. She was very happy. She had the pretty pearl.
+
+But soon, she realized that the pearl was not worth it. She had lost her friends who did not want to play with her anymore. They said, "Lily, you are greedy and sneaky. You lied to the crab and took his pearl. That was not nice. We do not want to swim with you."
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She learned that wisdom is not only knowing how to do things, but also knowing how to be good and kind. She decided to give the pearl back to the crab and say sorry. She hoped that he and her friends would forgive her and swim with her again.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with puzzles. They had many puzzles with different pictures. One day, they found a new puzzle in their toy box. It had a picture of a magic castle.
+
+"Let's do this puzzle!" Lily said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They opened the box and took out the pieces. They started to put them together on the floor.
+
+But something strange happened. Every time they put a piece in the right place, it disappeared. The piece was gone and there was a hole in the puzzle.
+
+"Where did it go?" Lily asked. She looked around, but she could not see the piece.
+
+"I don't know!" Ben said. He tried another piece, but it also disappeared.
+
+They tried more pieces, but they all disappeared. Soon, there was nothing left in the box or on the floor. The puzzle was gone.
+
+"What happened?" Lily said. She was sad and confused.
+
+"Maybe it was a magic puzzle!" Ben said. "Maybe it took us to the magic castle!"
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They imagined they were in the magic castle, having adventures.
+
+But they were not in the magic castle. They were in their living room, on the carpet. They were ignorant. They did not know that their big brother had played a trick on them. He had glued the pieces to the bottom of the box and cut holes in the top. He had watched them from behind the sofa, laughing. He thought it was funny to make their puzzle disappear. He was not very nice.
+Tom and Ann like to play cops and robbers. Tom is the cop and Ann is the robber. They run around the yard and pretend to chase each other.
+
+"Stop, robber, stop!" Tom shouts. He has a toy gun and a badge.
+
+"No, no, no!" Ann says. She has a bag of candy and a mask.
+
+Tom catches up with Ann and grabs her arm. "You are under arrest!" he says. "You have to go to jail!"
+
+Ann pouts and tries to pull away. "But I don't want to go to jail!" she says. "Jail is bad and scary!"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to make Ann sad. He is her friend and he likes her. He has an idea.
+
+"OK, OK," he says. "You can go to jail, but only for a little bit. And I will be gentle with you. I will not hurt you or yell at you. And I will give you some candy when you get out. How does that sound?"
+
+Ann smiles and nods. "That sounds good," she says. "Thank you, cop. You are nice and fair."
+
+Tom and Ann walk to the porch, where they have a cardboard box. They turn the box into a jail by drawing bars and a lock on it. Tom puts Ann inside the box and closes the flap. He sits next to the box and talks to Ann.
+
+"Don't worry, robber," he says. "You will be out soon. And then we can play something else. Maybe we can be pirates or astronauts or superheroes. What do you want to be?"
+
+Ann thinks for a while. She likes to play with Tom. He is fun and gentle. She says, "I want to be your friend."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big pile of wood near the fence. They wanted to build something with the wood.
+
+"Let's make a house for our dolls," Lily said.
+
+"Or a fort for our soldiers," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the wood and started to pick up some pieces. But they heard a voice from the other side of the fence.
+
+"Who is there? What are you doing with my wood?" the voice asked.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know who the voice belonged to. They hid behind the wood and whispered to each other.
+
+"Who do you think it is?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster," Lily said.
+
+"Or a witch," Tom said.
+
+They were very quiet and hoped the voice would go away. But the voice spoke again.
+
+"Come out, come out, wherever you are. I won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you," the voice said.
+
+Tom and Lily peeked over the wood and saw a face. It was not a monster or a witch. It was an old man with a long beard and a kind smile. He was holding a book in his hand.
+
+"Hello, children. I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm Mr. Fox, the owner of this wood. I use it to make toys and books for children like you. Do you want to see some of them?" he asked.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious and not afraid anymore. They came out from behind the wood and followed Mr. Fox to his workshop. There they saw many wonderful things. There were cars and trains and planes made of wood. There were dolls and animals and puzzles made of wood. There were books and stories and pictures made of wood.
+
+"Wow, these are amazing," Tom said.
+
+"How do you make them?" Lily asked.
+
+"I use my tools and my imagination. And I also use this," Mr. Fox said, pointing to his book. "This is my book of wisdom. It has many words and ideas that help me create and learn. Do you want to hear some of them?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded again. They liked to hear new words and ideas. They sat down with Mr. Fox and listened to him read from his book. He read them stories and poems and riddles. He asked them questions and made them guess and think. He taught them new words and meanings and sounds. He made them laugh and wonder and dream.
+
+Tom and Lily had a lot of fun with Mr. Fox and his wood. They learned many things and made a new friend. They decided that Mr. Fox was a very wise and kind man. And they also decided that wood was a very good thing to play with.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. They do not like to share.
+
+One day, Mom gives them a big cookie. She says, "This is for both of you. You have to share it. Break it in half and give one piece to your brother or sister."
+
+Sara and Ben look at the cookie. It is round and brown and has chocolate chips. It smells good. They both want the whole cookie. They do not want to break it.
+
+Sara says, "I want the cookie. It is mine. I saw it first."
+
+Ben says, "No, I want the cookie. It is mine. I am bigger."
+
+They pull the cookie from each other. They make loud noises. The cookie breaks into many pieces. They fall on the floor.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees the cookie pieces on the floor. She is not happy. She says, "Look what you did. You wasted the cookie. Now you have nothing to eat. You should have shared it. Sharing is nice. Sharing makes you happy."
+
+Sara and Ben feel bad. They look at the cookie pieces on the floor. They look at each other. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were selfish. We did not share. We will share next time."
+
+Mom says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you have to learn to share. Sharing is good for you. It makes your heart big and your stomach full. If you do not share, your heart is small and your stomach is tight. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. Sharing is good. Sharing makes our heart big and our stomach full. We will share from now on."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. I am proud of you. I have another cookie in the kitchen. Do you want it?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom gives them the cookie. They break it in half. They give one piece to each other. They say, "Here, this is for you. I share with you. You are my twin. I love you."
+
+They eat the cookie. It is sweet and yummy. They feel happy. Their heart is big and their stomach is full. They hug each other. They hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We love you."
+
+Mom hugs them back. She says, "You are welcome. You are the best. I love you too."
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they wanted a new one. They saw a bright red toy oven in the shop. They asked their mom to buy it for them.
+
+"Please, mom, please! We want the toy oven! It is so bright and pretty!" they said.
+
+Mom looked at the toy oven. It was very expensive. She shook her head.
+
+"No, my loves, we cannot buy the toy oven. It is too much money. We have to save for other things. Maybe you can get it for your birthday," she said.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They did not want to wait for their birthday. They wanted the toy oven now. They had a bad idea. They decided to take the toy oven when mom was not looking. They put it in their backpack and ran out of the shop.
+
+They were very happy. They went home and took the toy oven to the kitchen. They plugged it in and turned it on. They wanted to make cookies and cakes. They did not know that the toy oven was not a real oven. It was a dangerous toy. It had wires and batteries inside. It could catch fire.
+
+They put some dough and sprinkles in the toy oven. They waited for a few minutes. They smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming out of the toy oven. They screamed and ran away. The toy oven burst into flames. It set the kitchen on fire. The fire alarm went off. Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the fire and the toy oven. She was very angry and scared. She called the firemen. They came and put out the fire. They took the toy oven away. They said it was a faulty toy. It should not have been in the shop.
+
+Mom was very upset. She hugged Tom and Lily. She was glad they were not hurt. But she was also very disappointed. She asked them why they took the toy oven. They cried and said they were sorry. They said they wanted the toy oven so much. They did not think about the consequences.
+
+Mom said they had to learn a lesson. They had to return the toy oven to the shop. They had to apologize to the shopkeeper. They had to pay for the damage. They had to do chores for a long time. They had to give away some of their toys. They had to promise to never steal again.
+
+Tom and Lily felt very bad. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had not taken the toy oven. They wished they had not played in the kitchen. They wished they had not caused the fire. They realized that the toy oven was not worth it. It was not bright and pretty. It was dark and ugly. It was a bad toy. It was a bad idea. It was a bad ending.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big house with a high fence and a gate. They wanted to see what was inside, so they waited until the guard was not looking and ran to the gate.
+
+"Let's enter and have fun!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They opened the gate and went in. They saw a big garden with many flowers and trees. They also saw a black dog sleeping on the grass. They thought the dog was cute, so they went closer to pet it.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Ben said.
+
+But the dog was not friendly. It woke up and saw the twins. It barked loudly and ran after them. It was angry that they entered its home.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben and Lily cried.
+
+The guard heard the noise and saw the dog chasing the twins. He ran to the gate and locked it. He did not want the dog to hurt them, but he also did not want them to escape.
+
+"Who are you and why did you enter here?" the guard asked.
+
+"We are sorry, we just wanted to play!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+"Play? This is not a place to play! This is the home of Mr. Smith, a very important and rich man. He does not like strangers or children. You are in big trouble!" the guard said.
+
+He took the twins to the house and called Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith was very angry and scolded the twins. He said they were naughty and rude. He said he would call their parents and tell them what they did. He said they would be punished and never allowed to enter his home again.
+
+Ben and Lily were very scared and sorry. They wished they had not entered the big house. They wished they had listened to their parents, who always told them not to go to places they did not know. They learned a hard lesson that day.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not enter places that are not yours. Respect other people's property and privacy. Listen to your parents and be careful.
+Sara liked pink very much. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink bike and a pink teddy bear. She always wanted more pink things. One day, she saw a pink flower in the garden. It was very big and unusual. It had many petals and a sweet smell. Sara wanted to pick it and take it home.
+
+She went to the flower and said, "Hello, pink flower. You are very pretty. Can I have you?" She reached out her hand to touch it.
+
+But the flower did not like Sara. It did not want to be picked. It had a voice and it could talk. It said, "No, Sara. You cannot have me. I am not a toy. I am a living thing. I need water and sun and soil. If you pick me, I will die."
+
+Sara was very surprised and scared. She had never heard a flower talk before. She jumped back and said, "Sorry, pink flower. I did not know you could talk. Why can you talk? You are very unusual."
+
+The flower replied, "I can talk because I am a magic flower. I was planted by a fairy who gave me a wish. I wished to talk to anyone who came near me. But most people do not listen. They only want to pick me or smell me or take my picture. You are the first one who talked to me."
+
+Sara felt sorry for the flower. She said, "I am sorry, pink flower. I did not mean to hurt you. I just liked you very much. You are very beautiful and unusual. Can we be friends?"
+
+The flower smiled and said, "Yes, Sara. We can be friends. You are very kind and curious. You can come and visit me anytime. But please do not pick me or touch me. Just talk to me and I will talk to you."
+
+Sara was very happy. She had a new friend. A pink and unusual friend. She said, "Thank you, pink flower. I will come and visit you often. And I will tell my friends about you. Maybe they will want to talk to you too."
+
+The flower said, "You are welcome, Sara. I would like to meet your friends. But only if they are nice like you. And only if they do not pick me or touch me. Just talk to me and I will talk to you."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "OK, pink flower. I will remember that. Goodbye for now. I will see you soon."
+
+She waved to the flower and ran back to her house. She was very excited to tell her mom and dad about her unusual pink friend. She hoped they would believe her.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They always shared their toys and snacks. They lived in a big house with their mom and dad and dog.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck hit their house. The house was broken. Mom and dad and dog were inside. Lily and Ben were outside. They were scared and sad.
+
+They ran to the house. They called for mom and dad and dog. But no one answered. They saw smoke and fire and glass. They saw red and blue lights. They saw people in uniforms. They said, "We are sorry. Your mom and dad and dog are gone. They can't come back."
+
+Lily and Ben cried. They hugged each other. They said, "We still have each other. We will remember mom and dad and dog. We will remember our life in the big house. We will remember the happy times."
+
+But they were wrong. They did not have each other. The people in uniforms took them away. They said, "You can't stay here. You have to go to different places. You have to find new families. You have to forget your old life."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to go. They did not want to forget. They did not want to be apart. They said, "Please, no. Please, let us stay together. Please, let us remember."
+
+But no one listened. They put Lily and Ben in different cars. They drove them away. They looked at each other through the windows. They waved and cried. They said, "I love you. I will remember you. I will remember our life."
+
+But they never saw each other again. They never remembered their life. They never found happiness. They were broken.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They search for bugs and flowers. They also like to eat radishes. Radishes are red and white and crunchy.
+
+One day, they see a cute bunny in the garden. The bunny is white and fluffy. It has long ears and a pink nose. Lily and Ben want to pet the bunny. They say, "Hello, bunny. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bunny hops away. It is shy. Lily and Ben follow the bunny. They see the bunny go into a hole. The hole is under a big tree. Lily and Ben peek into the hole. They see many radishes inside. The radishes are the bunny's food.
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They say, "Wow, bunny. You have so many radishes. Can we have some, please?" The bunny looks at them. It is not angry. It is friendly. It nods and wiggles its nose. It shares some radishes with Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the bunny. They eat the radishes. They are delicious. They say, "Bunny, you are very nice. Can we be your friends?" The bunny smiles and nods. It hops out of the hole. It plays with Lily and Ben. They have fun in the garden. They are friends.
+Tom and Mia liked to play basketball in the park. They had a big orange ball that bounced very high. They threw the ball into the hoop and counted the points.
+
+One day, when they went to the park, they saw a mysterious box under the hoop. It was black and had a lock on it. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it has a treasure," Tom said.
+
+"Or a monster," Mia said.
+
+They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They felt sad and confused.
+
+Then, they saw a note on the box. It had some words and pictures on it. It was a clue!
+
+"Look, Mia, it's a riddle. We have to solve it to open the box," Tom said.
+
+They read the note together. It said:
+
+To find the key, you have to see
+The thing that makes you jump with glee
+It's round and bright and likes to fly
+It's in the park, but not too high
+
+They thought hard about the clue. What could it be?
+
+"I know, I know, it's the basketball!" Mia said.
+
+They ran to the bench where they left their ball. They looked under it and found a small silver key. They were so happy!
+
+They took the key and ran back to the box. They put the key in the lock and turned it. The box opened with a click.
+
+Inside, they found a surprise. It was a new basketball, bigger and shinier than their old one. It had their names on it and a sticker that said: "You solved the riddle. Well done!"
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They thanked the person who left the box for them. They did not know who it was, but they guessed it was someone who liked basketball too.
+
+They took their new ball and played with it in the hoop. They had more fun than ever. They felt proud and happy. They had solved a mysterious riddle and found a wonderful gift.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy animals in the garden. They had a lion, a giraffe, a monkey and a zebra. They liked to make noises and pretend they were in the jungle.
+
+"Look, I have a new animal!" Tom said, holding up a big bird with a long neck and black and white feathers. "It is an ostrich. It can run very fast and hide its head in the sand."
+
+"Wow, can I see?" Lily asked, reaching for the ostrich.
+
+"Be careful!" Tom said. "It is not very friendly. It can kick and peck you with its beak."
+
+Lily was a little scared, but she wanted to touch the ostrich. She took it gently from Tom and stroked its feathers. The ostrich made a funny sound, like a snort.
+
+"It is soft!" Lily said. "But it does not look happy. Maybe it is lonely. Can we add it to our jungle?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He liked his jungle, but he also liked his new ostrich. He did not want it to be sad.
+
+"OK, we can add it to our jungle," he said. "But we have to make a special place for it, where it can run and hide. And we have to be nice to it, and not make it angry."
+
+Lily nodded. She put the ostrich on the grass and looked for a spot where it could be comfortable. She found a pile of leaves and sticks and made a nest for it. She also found some berries and seeds and put them next to the nest.
+
+"Here, ostrich, this is your home," she said. "You can eat these and sleep here. And you can play with us and our other animals. We are your friends."
+
+The ostrich looked at Lily and Tom, and then at the nest and the food. It seemed to relax a little. It walked over to the nest and lay down. It snorted again, but this time it sounded like a thank you.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy they had added the ostrich to their jungle. They hoped it would be happy too. They went back to playing with their other animals, but they did not forget to check on the ostrich every now and then. They were careful and kind to their new friend.
+Lily loved to bounce on her bed. She had a big bed with a soft blanket and a lot of pillows. She also had a scarf that her grandma made for her. It was pink and purple and very warm. Lily liked to wrap the scarf around her neck and pretend she was a princess.
+
+One day, Lily was bouncing on her bed with her scarf on. She felt very happy and silly. She jumped higher and higher, and laughed louder and louder. She did not see that her scarf was getting loose and tangled. She did not hear her mom calling her to stop.
+
+Suddenly, Lily felt a tug on her neck. Her scarf had caught on the bedpost. She could not breathe. She tried to pull the scarf off, but it was too tight. She screamed for help, but no one came. She felt very scared and sad. She wished she had listened to her mom.
+
+Lily stopped bouncing. She stopped laughing. She stopped breathing. Her scarf was still around her neck. Her mom found her too late. She cried and cried. She wished she had seen Lily sooner. She wished Lily had not bounced with her scarf on.
+
+Lily was adorable, but she was not careful. She did not know that bouncing with a scarf on was dangerous. She did not have a happy ending. She had a bad ending.
+Lily and Max were cold. They wanted to play outside, but it was snowing. Mom said they could not go out. They had to stay in the house.
+
+They looked for something fun to do. They found some books, some toys, some crayons. But they were bored. They wanted to run and jump and slide.
+
+They saw the fireplace in the living room. It was hot. It had orange and yellow flames. It made a crackling sound. They went closer to the fireplace. They felt the warmth on their faces.
+
+"Can we sit by the fireplace, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't touch it. It can burn you," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max sat on the rug by the fireplace. They watched the fire dance. They felt cozy and happy.
+
+They hugged each other. They said, "We love you, Mom. We love the fireplace. It makes us warm."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them too. She said, "I love you, Lily. I love you, Max. You make me warm too."
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But they do not like to go to bed. They say they are not sleepy and they want to stay up.
+
+One night, their mom says, "It is time for bed, Tim and Kim. You have to sleep and rest. Tomorrow is a new day."
+
+Tim and Kim say, "No, mom, we do not want to sleep. We want to play more. Please, mom, let us play."
+
+Mom says, "No, Tim and Kim, you have to sleep. If you do not sleep, you will be tired and grumpy. You will not have fun tomorrow. You will not learn new things. You will not be happy. Now, go to bed and sleep."
+
+Tim and Kim are sad and angry. They go to their room and get into their beds. But they do not sleep. They whisper to each other and make plans. They say, "We will wait until mom is asleep. Then we will sneak out of our room and play with our toys. We will have fun and we will not be sleepy."
+
+They wait and wait until they hear mom snore. Then they get out of their beds and tiptoe to the living room. They see their toys and books on the floor. They smile and run to them. They start to play and laugh.
+
+But they do not see the big glass vase on the table. They do not see the cat sleeping on the couch. They do not see the window open and the wind blowing.
+
+The wind makes the vase wobble. The vase falls and breaks. The cat wakes and hisses. The noise scares Tim and Kim. They scream and cry.
+
+Mom hears the scream and the crash. She wakes and runs to the living room. She sees the mess and the twins. She is angry and worried. She says, "Tim and Kim, what are you doing? Why are you not in bed? Why did you break the vase? Why did you wake the cat? Why did you make so much noise?"
+
+Tim and Kim are sorry and scared. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not want to sleep. We wanted to play. We did not see the vase and the cat and the window. We did not mean to make trouble. Please, mom, do not be mad. Please, mom, comfort us."
+
+Mom says, "Tim and Kim, I am mad and sad. You did not listen to me. You did not obey me. You did not respect me. You did not sleep. You made a bad choice. You caused a problem. You have to face the consequences. You have to clean the mess. You have to apologize to the cat. You have to go back to bed. And you have to stay there until morning. No more playing. No more talking. No more fun. Only sleep."
+
+Tim and Kim are very sorry and very sad. They do what mom says. They clean the mess. They say sorry to the cat. They go back to bed. But they do not sleep. They cry and cry. They wish they had listened to mom. They wish they had slept. They wish they had not played. They wish they had not broken the vase. They wish they had not woken the cat. They wish they had not made noise. They wish they had not made mom mad and sad.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should listen to your mom and go to bed when she says so. If you do not, you will not have fun, you will make trouble, and you will make mom mad and sad. Sleep is good for you and mom knows best.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. They have a big board with squares. They put the pieces on the board and move them.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park. They bring their chess board and pieces. They find a nice spot under a tree. They spread a blanket on the grass. They set up the board and pieces. They are ready to play.
+
+But there is a problem. There is a man near them. He is deaf. He cannot hear. He has a big radio. He plays loud music. Anna and Ben cannot think. They cannot talk. The music hurts their ears.
+
+Anna and Ben try to ask the man to turn down the music. But he does not see them. He does not hear them. He keeps playing the music. Anna and Ben are sad. They cannot play chess.
+
+Then, a dog comes. The dog is friendly. He likes to play. He sees the chess board and pieces. He thinks they are toys. He runs to the blanket. He jumps on the board. He knocks down the pieces. He grabs some pieces in his mouth. He runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are shocked. They look at the mess. They look at the dog. They look at the man. The man sees the dog. He sees the pieces. He sees Anna and Ben. He turns off the music. He says sorry. He gives back the pieces. He pets the dog.
+
+Anna and Ben are not angry. They are happy. They say thank you. They say it is okay. They smile. They pick up the pieces. They set up the board again. They play chess. The man watches. The dog watches. They are all friends. The end.
+Sara loved dessert. She liked cake and ice cream and cookies. But her favorite dessert was pie. She liked apple pie and cherry pie and pumpkin pie. She liked the sweet filling and the crusty top.
+
+One day, Sara's mom made a big pie for dinner. She put it in the oven and told Sara not to touch it. She said it was very hot and it could burn her. Sara nodded, but she was very curious. She wanted to see the pie and smell it and taste it.
+
+When her mom went to the bathroom, Sara tiptoed to the kitchen. She saw the oven and the timer. She saw a little smoke coming out of the oven. She thought the pie was ready. She opened the oven door and reached for the pie. But it was too hot. It burned her hand. She screamed and dropped the pie. It fell on the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+Her mom heard the scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw Sara crying and the pie on the floor. She was angry and sad. She hugged Sara and put some ice on her hand. She said, "Sara, why did you touch the pie? I told you not to. You could have hurt yourself badly. And now we have no dessert."
+
+Sara felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the pie. I love pie. I didn't know it was so hot. I didn't mean to ruin it."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "I know, Sara. I love pie too. But you have to listen to me and be careful. Pie is not worth getting burned. Maybe next time we can make a pie together. And I have a surprise for you. I made another pie and hid it in the fridge. It's a chocolate pie. Do you want some?"
+
+Sara's eyes lit up and she smiled. She said, "Yes, please, mom. I love chocolate pie. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sara. You are the best too. But don't touch the fridge until I say so, okay?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will wait. I promise."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to get it back.
+
+One day, the ball rolled to the road. The road had many cars and bikes that went fast and made noise. Tom and Lily knew they had to be careful and look both ways before they crossed the road.
+
+But Tom was in a hurry. He wanted to get the ball before Lily. He did not look both ways. He ran to the road and did not see the sign. The sign was big and red and had a word on it. The word was STOP. The sign was there to prevent bad things from happening.
+
+Lily saw the sign and shouted, "Tom, stop! There is a sign! The sign says stop! The sign is to prevent you from getting hurt!"
+
+But Tom did not hear Lily. He did not see the sign. He did not see the car. The car was brown and big and fast. The car saw Tom and tried to stop, but it was too late. The car hit Tom and made a loud sound. Tom fell to the ground and cried.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was scared and sad. She said, "Tom, are you okay? I'm sorry, I tried to warn you. You should have listened to me. You should have seen the sign. The sign was to prevent you from getting hurt."
+
+Tom was hurt and sorry. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry, I was silly. I did not listen to you. I did not see the sign. The sign was to prevent me from getting hurt. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will look both ways and obey the sign."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the value of being careful, listening to others, and obeying the rules.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They can make many things with blocks, like houses, towers, bridges, and cars. They have a big box of blocks in their room.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big structure with all their blocks. They spend a long time stacking, balancing, and connecting the blocks. They make a structure that is taller than them, with many colors and shapes.
+
+"Look at our structure!" Anna says. "It is so big and beautiful!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. "We are very good at making things with blocks!"
+
+They are very proud of their structure. They want to show it to their mom and dad.
+
+But then, their baby brother Tom comes into their room. He sees the structure and he wants to play with it too. He crawls towards it and reaches for a block.
+
+"Tom, no!" Anna and Ben shout. "Don't touch our structure! It will fall down!"
+
+But Tom does not listen. He pulls a block from the bottom of the structure. The structure wobbles and shakes. Then, it crashes to the floor. The blocks scatter everywhere.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad and angry. They look at their broken structure. It is ugly and messy.
+
+"Tom, you are bad!" Anna says. "You ruined our structure!"
+
+"Go away, Tom!" Ben says. "You can't play with us!"
+
+Tom starts to cry. He does not understand why his brother and sister are mad at him. He just wanted to play with the blocks too.
+
+Mom and dad hear the noise and come into the room. They see the blocks, the structure, and the children.
+
+"What happened here?" mom asks.
+
+"Tom broke our structure!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Tom, did you break their structure?" dad asks.
+
+Tom nods. He is sorry. He did not mean to break it.
+
+Mom and dad hug Tom and comfort him. They tell him that he should not touch other people's things without asking. They also tell Anna and Ben that they should not yell at Tom or call him bad. They say that they can all play with the blocks together and make a new structure.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry too. They know that Tom is their brother and they love him. They say sorry to Tom and hug him. They invite him to play with them and help them make a new structure.
+
+They spend some more time with the blocks. They make a new structure that is bigger and better than the old one. They use all the blocks and make it strong and stable. They make it with many colors and shapes.
+
+They show their new structure to mom and dad. Mom and dad are very happy and proud of them. They say that their structure is very big and beautiful.
+
+They all smile and hug. They are a happy family. They like to play with blocks.
+Lily liked to draw and paint. She had many colors and papers to make pictures. She wanted to show her mom and dad her art. She was very happy.
+
+But Lily did not like to clean up. She left her colors and papers all over the floor and the table. She made a big mess. She did not care. She wanted to make more pictures.
+
+One day, Lily ran out of papers. She looked for more papers to draw on. She saw a big stack of papers on her dad's desk. They had many words and numbers on them. Lily did not know what they were. She thought they were boring. She took them and started to paint on them.
+
+Her dad came home from work. He wanted to see his papers. They were very important for his job. He had worked hard to finish them. They were his success. He looked for them on his desk. He did not see them. He saw Lily's paintings instead. He was very angry.
+
+He yelled at Lily. He told her she had ruined his papers. He told her she had to clean up her mess. He told her she had no more colors and papers to draw with. He took them away. Lily was very sad. She cried. She wished she had not taken her dad's papers. She wished she had cleaned up her mess. She wished she had listened to her dad. She had no success. She had a bad ending.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They have red boots and blue hats. They make a snowman and a snow fort. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom sees a big hole in his boot. He is sad. He says to Anna, "Look, my boot is broken. Now my foot is wet and cold. Where is the other boot?"
+
+Anna says, "I don't know, Tom. Maybe you lost it in the snow. Let's search for it. Maybe we can find it."
+
+They search and search. They look under the snowman and behind the snow fort. They look in the bushes and on the fence. They look everywhere. But they cannot find the other boot.
+
+Tom is very sad. He says, "I can't find my boot. I think it is gone. What can I do?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. Then she says, "Tom, I have an idea. You can have my boots. They are big for me, but they will keep your feet warm and dry. I can wear your hat. It is big for you, but it will keep my head warm and dry. We can share."
+
+Tom looks at Anna. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and honest. You are the best sister ever."
+
+They hug and swap their boots and hats. Then they go back to play in the snow. They are happy again.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and help each other. One day, they saw a big truck near their houses. The truck was very loud and made the ground shake.
+
+"What is the truck doing?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+Ben pointed to the mailbox. "It is putting a new mailbox for Mrs. Lee. Her old mailbox was broken by a bad storm."
+
+Lily and Ben watched the truck work. The truck lifted a mighty mailbox with a crane. The mailbox was red and shiny. It had a flag and a flower on it.
+
+"Wow, that is a pretty mailbox!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is. But it is also very heavy. Look, the truck is having trouble putting it in the hole." Ben said.
+
+The truck tried to lower the mailbox, but it wobbled and tilted. The crane was not strong enough to hold it. The mailbox was about to fall.
+
+"Oh no, the mailbox is going to crash!" Lily cried.
+
+Ben had an idea. He ran to the truck and shouted. "Stop, stop! We can help you!"
+
+The truck driver heard Ben and stopped the crane. He looked out of the window and saw Ben and Lily.
+
+"What can you do, little ones?" he asked.
+
+"We can support the mailbox. We can hold it and push it until it is straight." Ben said.
+
+The truck driver smiled. He liked the children's courage and kindness. He agreed to let them help.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. The mailbox is very heavy. You need to work together and listen to me." he said.
+
+He lowered the mailbox a little more, until it was close to the ground. Ben and Lily ran to the mailbox and grabbed it. They felt its weight and warmth. They pushed and pulled with all their might.
+
+"Good job, kids! You are very strong. Now, push a little more to the right. That's it, that's it. The mailbox is almost in. One more push. Yes, you did it!" the truck driver cheered.
+
+The mailbox was in the hole. It was straight and steady. It looked beautiful and proud. Ben and Lily let go of the mailbox and clapped their hands. They were happy and proud, too.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Mrs. Lee came out of her house and hugged the children. She was very grateful for their help. She gave them each a cookie and a sticker.
+
+"You are very welcome, Mrs. Lee. We are glad we could help. Your mailbox is the best mailbox ever!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+The truck driver honked his horn and waved goodbye. He drove away, leaving behind a mighty mailbox and two happy friends.
+Lila and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat their meal. But their mom said they had to wait. She was busy in the kitchen.
+
+"Can we have some bread?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, you have to wait for the meal. It will be ready soon," mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben were not happy. They saw a big pot on the stove. It smelled good. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They went to the stove. They lifted the lid of the pot. They saw some soup. It looked yummy.
+
+They took a spoon. They tried to taste the soup. But it was very hot. They burned their tongues. They cried.
+
+Mom heard them. She ran to the stove. She saw the pot. She saw the spoon. She was angry.
+
+"What are you doing? You are ignorant! You could have hurt yourself! You have to cover the pot! The soup will get cold!" mom scolded.
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to mom. They put the lid back on the pot. They waited for the meal. They learned their lesson. They never touched the pot again.
+Lily and Ben love to play with their pet dog, Spot. Spot is a big, black dog who likes to run and jump and lick their faces. One day, Lily and Ben decide to play a game with Spot. They call it freeze.
+
+The game is very easy. Lily and Ben run around the yard with Spot, and when they say "freeze", they all have to stop and not move. Spot thinks this is a silly game, but he likes to make Lily and Ben happy, so he plays along.
+
+They run and run and say "freeze" many times. Sometimes, Lily and Ben freeze in funny poses, like a star or a bridge or a ball. Sometimes, Spot freezes with his tongue out or his tail up or his paw in the air. They laugh and giggle and have fun.
+
+But then, something happens. Lily and Ben say "freeze" one more time, and they all stop. But this time, they can't move at all. They feel very cold and stiff. They look around and see that everything is white and shiny. The grass, the trees, the flowers, even Spot, are all covered in ice. They have frozen for real!
+
+Lily and Ben are scared and confused. How did this happen? Where did the ice come from? How can they unfreeze? They try to call for help, but their mouths are frozen too. They can only make small noises.
+
+Spot is also scared and confused. He can't feel his fur or his nose or his ears. He can't wag his tail or lick his friends. He can only blink his eyes. He wonders what is going on.
+
+They stay frozen for a long time. They don't know what to do. They hope that someone will come and save them. They hope that this is just a bad dream. They hope that they can play again. They hope that they can be warm and happy and silly again.
+Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box, a hat, a sword and a map. The map showed them where to find the treasure. Tom was the captain and Lily was the first mate.
+
+"Come on, Lily, we have to carry the box to the X on the map. That's where the treasure is," Tom said.
+
+"OK, captain, I'll help you," Lily said. They lifted the box and walked across the grass. The box was heavy and they had to stop and rest sometimes.
+
+They followed the map and came to a big tree. The map said the X was under the tree. They put the box down and started to dig with their hands.
+
+"Look, captain, I found something shiny!" Lily said. She pulled out a necklace with a shiny stone. "It's the treasure!"
+
+"Wow, first mate, you're right! It's the treasure!" Tom said. He took the necklace and put it around his neck. "I'm the richest pirate in the world!"
+
+They were so happy that they forgot about the box and the map. They ran around the tree, pretending to fight other pirates and sing pirate songs. They were careless and did not see the dog.
+
+The dog was curious and smelled the box. He saw the map sticking out of the box. He thought it was a toy and grabbed it with his teeth. He ran away with the map, tearing it into pieces.
+
+Tom and Lily heard the dog bark and turned around. They saw the dog running away with their map.
+
+"Hey, stop, that's our map!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Come back, dog, we need our map!" Lily shouted.
+
+They chased the dog, but he was too fast. They lost him and their map.
+
+They were sad and angry. They had no map and no way to find more treasure.
+
+They went back to the box and opened it. They hoped there was more treasure inside. But there was nothing. Only old clothes and books.
+
+They realized they had been fooled. The map was fake and the necklace was not real. They had wasted their time and their fun.
+
+They looked at each other and felt silly. They wished they had been more careful with their map. They learned a lesson. Playing pirates was fun, but they had to be smart and not trust everything they saw.
+Tom and Anna are playing with blocks. Tom wants to build a big tower, but Anna wants to make a house. Tom insists that his tower is better, and he takes some blocks from Anna's house.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Anna says. "Those are my blocks. Give them back!"
+
+"No, they are mine now. I need them for my tower," Tom says. He puts the blocks on top of his tower, but it is too high and it falls down. Some blocks hit Tom on the head and he cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! That hurt!" Tom says. He rubs his head and looks at the mess.
+
+Anna feels sorry for Tom. She goes to him and gives him a hug. "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" she says.
+
+Tom stops crying and hugs Anna back. "I'm okay, Anna. I'm sorry, too. I was mean to you. Can we share the blocks?" he says.
+
+Anna smiles and nods. "Yes, we can share the blocks. Let's build something together," she says.
+
+They pick up the blocks and start to build a new thing. They don't know what it is yet, but they have fun. They are friends again.
+Anna loved her doll, Lily. She took Lily everywhere with her. She played with Lily, fed Lily, and dressed Lily in pretty clothes. Lily was Anna's best friend. Anna valued Lily very much.
+
+One day, Anna and Lily went to the park with Mommy. Anna saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She put Lily on her lap and climbed up the ladder. She was very excited to slide down. But when she reached the top, she saw a boy with a mean face. He pushed Anna and Lily off the slide. Anna and Lily fell down hard. Anna cried and Lily broke.
+
+Anna was very sad. She hugged Lily and tried to fix her. But Lily's arm was loose and her eye was missing. Anna asked Mommy to help. Mommy said they had to go to the doctor. Anna was scared. She did not like doctors. She thought they would hurt Lily more.
+
+Mommy took Anna and Lily to the doctor. The doctor was a nice lady with a smile. She looked at Lily and said she could fix her. She took Lily to a room with tools and glue. She told Anna to wait outside. Anna waited and hoped Lily would be okay.
+
+After a while, the doctor came back with Lily. Lily looked like new. Her arm was tight and her eye was back. The doctor gave Lily to Anna and said she was very brave. Anna was very happy. She thanked the doctor and hugged Lily. She said she loved Lily more than ever. The doctor said she was glad to help. She said Lily was not a cheap doll. She said Lily was a special doll. She said Anna and Lily were lucky to have each other. Anna agreed. She valued Lily very much.

+
+"Mommy, mommy, Anna pushed me!" Ben shouted.
+
+Mommy came into the kitchen and saw what happened. She was not happy.
+
+"Anna, why did you push Ben? That was not nice. You have to share the spoon. And Ben, why did you take the spoon from Anna? That was not fair. You have to wait your turn. You both need to say sorry and forgive each other. Playing together is more fun than fighting."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad for hurting each other. They did not want to make mommy sad. They did not want to lose their friend.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I should not have pushed you. Can you forgive me?" Anna said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I should not have taken the spoon. Can you forgive me?" Ben said.
+
+They hugged and said they forgave each other. Mommy smiled and gave them a kiss.

+
+Jen nods. They go to the park and play on the swings and the slide. They have a lot of fun. But they forget the time.
+
+"Oh no!" Jen says. "It's late. We have to go home and study."

+
+Tom tells Jen his score. He got a very bad score. He is sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Jen says. "Why didn't you study?"
+
+"I wanted to play," Tom says. "I thought studying was boring."
+
+Jen shakes her head. "Studying is not boring. It is important. It helps you learn and grow. Playing is fun, but you have to balance it with studying. You can't play all the time."
+
+Tom nods. He understands. He feels sorry for himself. He wishes he had listened to Jen.
+
+"Can you help me study next time?" Tom asks Jen.
+
+"Of course," Jen says. "But you have to promise me something."
+
+"What?" Tom asks.
+
+"You have to promise me that you will study hard and not play too much. And you have to promise me that you will help me with something too."
+
+"What?" Tom asks.
+

+
+Tom laughs. He likes to mop the floor. He thinks it is fun and easy. He likes to make the floor shiny and clean.
+
+"OK," Tom says. "I promise. I will help you mop the floor. And I will study hard and not play too much. We can help each other."

+Lily loved to bake with her mom. They made cakes and cookies and pies. Lily liked to taste the sugar and the dough. She liked to watch the oven and see the treats get big and brown.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom were making cupcakes for Lily's birthday. They put paper cups in a big pan and filled them with batter. Lily wanted to help, so she took a spoon and scooped some sugar from the jar. She was about to put it in a cup when her mom said, "No, Lily, that's too much sugar. The cupcakes will be too sweet."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She thought more sugar would make the cupcakes better. She sneaked the spoon into a cup when her mom was not looking. She did it again and again, until she used up all the sugar in the jar.
+
+When the cupcakes were done, Lily and her mom took them out of the oven. They smelled good and looked pretty. Lily was proud of her work. She wanted to show her mom how good they were. She picked one cupcake and took a big bite.
+
+But the cupcake was not good. It was too sweet. It made Lily's mouth hurt. It made her want to spit it out. She made a face and said, "Yuck!"

+Her mom saw her face and tasted the cupcake. She also made a face and said, "Yuck! Lily, did you put extra sugar in these cupcakes?"
+
+Lily felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I'm sorry. I wanted to make them better."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you wanted to help. But you have to listen to me when I tell you how to bake. Too much sugar is not good for you or the cupcakes. Next time, we'll measure the sugar together, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry I embarrassed you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You didn't embarrass me, Lily. You just made a mistake. We all make mistakes sometimes. That's how we learn. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you, mom."
+
+They threw away the bad cupcakes and made new ones. They used the right amount of sugar and added some furry sprinkles on top. The new cupcakes were good and not too sweet. Lily and her mom shared one and laughed. They were happy.

+
+"Maybe there is a pearl," Lily said.
+
+"Or a treasure," Sam said.
+
+They tried to open the shell, but it was too hard. They looked for a stick or a rock to help them. They saw a crab walking on the sand.
+
+"Hey, crab, can you help us?" Lily asked.
+
+The crab stopped and looked at them. It had big claws and small eyes.
+
+"What do you want?" the crab asked.
+
+"We want to unlock this shell. Can you use your claws to break it?" Sam asked.
+
+The crab shook its head.
+
+"No, I can't. This is not a shell. This is my house. You are trying to break my house. Go away!" the crab said.
+
+The crab snapped its claws at them. Lily and Sam were scared. They ran away from the crab.
+
+"Sorry, crab, we didn't know. We thought it was a shell," Lily said.
+
+"Me too," Sam said.

+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some things to put in the pot. They had salt, sugar, flour, and pepper.
+
+"Let's make soup!" said Anna. "I will add some salt and sugar."
+
+"OK, and I will add some flour and pepper," said Ben. He took the pepper shaker and shook it hard over the pot. But he did not know that the lid was loose. All the pepper came out and made a big cloud of dust.
+
+"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Anna and Ben sneezed and coughed. They rubbed their eyes and noses. The pepper made them feel very bad.
+
+"Uh-oh, we made a mess," said Anna. "Mom will be angry."
+
+Just then, Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the pot, the spoons, and the pepper all over the floor. She also saw Anna and Ben with red faces and tears in their eyes.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked.
+
+"We were playing chefs and we used too much pepper," said Ben.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," said Anna.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She was not angry. She was grateful that they were not hurt. She knew they were just having fun and trying to be creative.
+
+"It's OK, my little chefs," she said. "I'm glad you are OK. But next time, be careful with the pepper. It can make you sneeze and cough a lot."
+
+"Yes, Mom," said Anna and Ben.
+
+Mom helped them clean up the kitchen. Then she made them some real soup with no pepper. They ate it and felt better. They clapped their hands and thanked Mom for the soup.

+Lily and Ben are playing in the backyard. They see a big machine with wheels and a handle. It is Dad's lawn mower. They want to try it.
+
+"Can we push the lawn mower, Dad?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, it is too dangerous for you. It is not a toy. It can cut the grass and your fingers," Dad says.
+
+"But we want to help you make the lawn look nice," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, but you can help me in other ways. You can rake the leaves or water the flowers. The lawn mower is for grown-ups only," Dad says.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They think the lawn mower is incredible. It makes a loud noise and moves fast. They wish they could push it.
+
+They see a small red wagon in the corner. It has wheels and a handle too. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's pretend this is our lawn mower," Lily says.
+
+"OK, that sounds fun," Ben says.

+
+"You are doing a great job, kids. You have the most incredible lawn mower ever," Dad says.

+Soon, the bowl was empty. Tim and Sam wanted more popcorn. They saw another bag of popcorn in the kitchen. They decided to make it themselves. They did not ask mom. They were naughty.
+
+They put the bag in the microwave and pressed some buttons. They did not know how long to cook it. They went back to the living room and waited. They heard a loud noise. They smelled something bad. They ran to the kitchen and saw smoke and fire. The popcorn had burned and exploded. The microwave was broken. The kitchen was a mess.
+
+Mom came back and saw what happened. She was very angry and scared. She yelled at Tim and Sam. She said they were very naughty and dangerous. She said they could have hurt themselves and the house. She said they had to go to bed without watching the movie. She said they had to wear the same pajamas for a week. She said they had to clean the kitchen tomorrow. She said they had no more popcorn for a long time.
+
+Tim and Sam were very sad and sorry. They cried and said they were sorry. They hugged mom and said they loved her. They went to bed and hoped mom would forgive them. They learned their lesson. They never made popcorn without mom again.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up with old clothes and hats. One day, they find a big box of wigs in the attic. They want to try them on and pretend to be different people.
+
+Lila picks a long, curly wig that is red like fire. She puts it on her head and says, "Look at me, I am a princess with beautiful hair!" She twirls around and smiles.
+
+Ben picks a short, spiky wig that is blue like the sky. He puts it on his head and says, "Look at me, I am a rock star with cool hair!" He jumps up and down and makes loud noises.
+
+They have fun with the wigs and make up stories. But then, they hear a voice from downstairs. It is Lila's mom. She calls, "Lila, Ben, time for lunch!"
+
+Lila and Ben run to the stairs. But they forget to take off the wigs. They wear them as they go down.
+
+Lila's mom sees them and gasps. She is troubled. She says, "What have you done to your hair? It is not your color! It is not your style! It is not your hair!"
+
+Lila and Ben look at each other. They remember the wigs. They giggle. They say, "It is not our hair, mom. It is dress-up. We are playing. We are sorry. We will take them off."
+
+Lila's mom sighs. She is not angry. She is amused. She says, "Oh, you silly kids. You scared me for a moment. Come on, let's have lunch. And then, you can show me your wigs and your stories."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They run, jump, swing and slide. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big screen at the park. It is orange and shiny. It has pictures and sounds. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the screen.
+
+They go to the screen. They touch it. It makes a beep. They laugh. They touch it again. It makes a boop. They giggle. They touch it more. It makes different noises and colors. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Anna, a cat!" Ben says. He points to the screen. It shows a cat. It is black and white. It meows.
+
+"Meow, meow, meow!" Anna says. She pretends to be a cat. She crawls on the ground. She rubs her head on Ben's leg.
+
+"Meow, meow, meow!" Ben says. He pretends to be a cat too. He crawls with Anna. They chase each other. They purr.
+
+They play like cats for a while. Then they see a slide on the screen. It is red and yellow. It looks fun.
+
+"Let's slide!" Anna says. She jumps up. She runs to the screen. She tries to slide on it.
+
+But the screen is not a slide. It is flat and hard. Anna bumps into it. She falls down. She hurts her nose. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna says. She holds her nose. She is sad.
+
+"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben says. He runs to her. He hugs her. He is sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. The screen is not a slide. It is a trick. It is not real. It is only a picture." Ben says. He tries to make her feel better.
+
+Anna stops crying. She looks at Ben. She smiles. She is not mad.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I know you are my friend. You are real. You are not a trick. You are not a picture." Anna says. She hugs him back. She is happy.
+
+They are friends. They like to play at the park. They run, jump, swing and slide. They have fun.
+Lily has a dog named Spot. Spot is a big dog with black and white fur. Lily loves Spot very much. She likes to play with him, hug him, and feed him. Spot likes to eat dog food, bones, and sometimes cookies.
+
+One day, Lily and Spot go for a walk in the park. Lily puts a collar on Spot, so he does not run away. The collar is red and has a bell. Lily holds a leash and Spot follows her. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and other dogs.
+
+Lily and Spot meet a boy and a girl. They have a cat with them. The cat is small and gray. It has a pink collar and a bow. The boy and the girl say hello to Lily and Spot. They ask if they can pet Spot. Lily says yes, but she tells them to be careful. Spot is friendly, but he does not like cats.
+
+The boy and the girl pet Spot and say he is soft and cute. Spot wags his tail and licks their faces. He is happy to meet new friends. The cat watches from a distance. It does not like dogs. It hisses and arches its back.
+
+Suddenly, the cat sees a bird on a branch. It forgets about the dog and the people. It jumps off the girl's arms and runs towards the bird. It tries to catch the bird, but the bird flies away. The cat lands on the ground and looks around. It is lost.
+
+Spot sees the cat running. He thinks it is a game. He barks and chases the cat. He wants to play with it. The cat is scared. It runs faster and faster. It does not know where to go.
+
+Lily and the boy and the girl see Spot and the cat. They are worried. They call their names and try to catch them. They run after them, but they are too slow. Spot and the cat are faster.
+
+Spot and the cat run across the park. They pass by other people and animals. They make a lot of noise. They cause a lot of trouble. They knock over a trash can, a bike, and a picnic basket. They make a mess.
+
+Lily and the boy and the girl finally catch up with Spot and the cat. They are near a pond. The cat is on a fence. Spot is below, barking and jumping. The cat is cornered. It has nowhere to go.
+
+Lily grabs Spot's leash and pulls him back. She says "No, Spot, bad dog!" She is angry and sad. She does not like what Spot did. She says sorry to the boy and the girl. She says sorry to the cat. She hopes the cat is okay.
+
+The boy and the girl pick up the cat and hug it. They say "It's okay, kitty, you're safe." They are relieved and happy. They thank Lily for stopping Spot. They say sorry for the trouble. They hope Spot is okay.
+
+Lily and Spot and the boy and the girl and the cat look at each other. They are quiet for a moment. They are sorry for what happened. They are glad it is over. They are still friends.
+
+Lily smiles and says "Let's go home." She puts the collar back on Spot and holds his leash. She says "Come on, Spot, let's go." She hopes Spot learned his lesson. She still loves him very much.
+
+The boy and the girl and the cat say goodbye to Lily and Spot. They say "See you later." They walk away. They are happy to have their cat back.
+
+Lily and Spot walk home. They are tired and hungry. They want to rest and eat. They had a big adventure. They had a successful day.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket of strawberries on a table. The strawberries looked red and sweet and juicy. Lila and Ben wanted to eat some, but they did not have any money.
+
+"Maybe we can ask the lady who sells them," Lila said.
+
+"Or maybe we can fold some paper and make flowers for her," Ben said. He had learned how to fold paper from his big sister.
+
+They found some paper and scissors and started to fold. They made many paper flowers of different colors. They were proud of their work.
+
+They took their paper flowers and went to the table. The lady who sold the strawberries was busy talking to another customer. Lila and Ben put their paper flowers on the table and took some strawberries. They thought the lady would be happy to see their gift.
+
+But the lady was not happy. She saw them take the strawberries and shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves! How dare you steal my strawberries! These are not for you! These are for rich people who can pay for them! Give them back right now!"
+
+She grabbed the strawberries from their hands and threw their paper flowers on the ground. She called the park guard and told him to catch them. Lila and Ben were scared and ran away. They did not understand why the lady was so mean. They felt sad and hungry. They wished they had never seen the strawberries.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big pot on the stove with some soup inside. They wanted to taste the soup, but it was too hot and too high for them to reach.
+
+"Let's get a chair and a spoon," Ben said. "Then we can have some soup."
+
+"Okay," Lily agreed. They dragged a chair to the stove and climbed on it. Ben took a big spoon and dipped it in the pot. He tried to bring it to his mouth, but he was clumsy and spilled some soup on the floor.
+
+"Oops!" Ben said. "Be careful, Lily. Don't increase the mess."
+
+Lily took the spoon from Ben and tried to do better. But she was clumsy too and spilled more soup on the floor and on her dress.
+
+"Oops!" Lily said. "Sorry, Ben. I made it worse."
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the twins, the pot, the spoon, and the soup all over the place. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are not supposed to touch the pot. It is hot and dangerous. And you made a big mess. You could have burned yourselves or broken the pot."
+
+Ben and Lily felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They looked at their mom and said, "We're sorry, mom. We wanted to taste the soup. We were hungry and curious. But we were clumsy and careless. We won't do it again."
+
+Their mom sighed and hugged them. She was glad they were not hurt. She said, "I know you were hungry and curious, but you have to wait for me to serve you the soup. And you have to be careful and respectful in the kitchen. It is not a place to play. You have to learn from your mistakes and be more responsible."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We will learn from our mistakes and be more responsible. We love you, mom."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. Now let's clean up this mess and have some soup together."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be careful and respectful in the kitchen. Don't touch things that are hot and dangerous. Learn from your mistakes and be more responsible.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with many rocks. They want to climb the hill and see the earth from high up.
+
+They start to climb the hill, holding hands. They are careful not to slip on the rocks. They see birds and flowers and clouds. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Ben, we are close to the top!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, Lily, we are close. We can see the whole park from here!" Ben says.
+
+They reach the top of the hill and sit on a big rock. They look at the earth and the sky. They feel the sun and the wind. They smile.
+
+But then, a bee comes and buzzes around Lily's head. Lily is scared of bees. She tries to wave it away, but it stings her on the nose. Lily cries out loud. It hurts a lot.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Ben, help me! The bee hurt me!" Lily says.
+
+Ben sees Lily's nose. It is red and swollen. He feels sorry for Lily. He hugs her and says, "Don't cry, Lily. I will help you. We will go down the hill and find Mom. She will make it better."
+
+He helps Lily stand up and holds her hand. They go down the hill, slowly and gently. They find Mom and tell her what happened. Mom kisses Lily's nose and puts some ice on it. She says, "It's okay, Lily. The bee is gone. The ice will make it less hurt. You are brave and strong."
+
+Lily feels better. She says, "Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Mom. You are kind and good."
+
+They hug and say, "We love you, Lily. We love you, Ben."
+
+They go home and have some juice and cookies. They are happy again.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small bike. They have fun.
+
+One day, Sara's mom says, "I have good news. We are going to the zoo tomorrow. Do you want to come, Tom?"
+
+Tom is happy. He likes animals. He says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Sara's mom."
+
+Sara and Tom go to bed early. They want to wake up early for the zoo.
+
+The next day, they go to the zoo with Sara's mom. They see lions and monkeys and elephants. They are loud and big and funny.
+
+They also see a skunk. It is black and white and has a long tail. It is smelly. Sara and Tom hold their noses. They say, "Ew, yuck!"
+
+Sara's mom says, "The skunk is not bad. It is just different. It makes the smell to protect itself. It is its way of working."
+
+Sara and Tom are curious. They ask, "How does it work?"
+
+Sara's mom says, "It has a special gland under its tail. It can spray the smell when it feels scared or angry. It is like a weapon."
+
+Sara and Tom say, "Wow, that is cool. But we don't want to make it scared or angry. We want to be nice to it."
+
+They wave to the skunk and say, "Bye, skunk. Have a good day."
+
+They go to see more animals. They have a great time at the zoo.
+Lily was a gifted girl who loved to draw and sing. She had many books and toys in her room, but she wanted more. She always asked her mom and dad for new things, but they said no. They said she had enough and she should be happy.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big red sock on the fireplace. She knew it was for Christmas, and she hoped it was full of presents. She ran to the sock and tried to peek inside, but it was tied with a ribbon. She pulled and pulled, but she could not open it. She got angry and threw the sock on the floor.
+
+Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Lily and the sock and frowned. They asked her why she was so rude and ungrateful. They told her that the sock was from Santa, who came down the chimney at night and left gifts for good children. They said that Lily was not good, and that she should say sorry and thank Santa.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She refused to say sorry or thank Santa. She said she did not care about Santa or his gifts. She said she wanted more and better things. She said she was the best and the most gifted girl in the world.
+
+Mom and dad were very sad and disappointed. They shook their heads and took the sock away. They said that Lily would not get any presents from Santa or from them. They said that Lily had to learn to be kind and humble and grateful. They said that being gifted was not enough, and that she also had to be good.
+
+Lily did not understand. She cried and screamed and stomped her feet. She did not want to learn or change. She wanted more and more. She did not know that she was missing the most important gift of all: love.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a trail in the grass. They want to follow it.
+
+"Maybe it is a treasure trail!" Lily says.
+
+"Or a fairy trail!" Ben says.
+
+They run on the trail. They see flowers and bugs and birds. They are happy.
+
+But then the trail stops. There is a big fence. They cannot go on.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "We cannot find the end of the trail!"
+
+Ben is sad too. He looks at the fence. He sees something shiny. He points.
+
+"Look, Lily! There is something on the fence!"
+
+Lily looks too. She sees a balloon. It is red and blue and yellow. It has a string. It says "Happy Birthday!"
+
+"Wow!" Lily says. "It is a balloon!"
+
+"Maybe it is for us!" Ben says.
+
+They pull the string. The balloon comes down. They hold it. They smile.
+
+"Maybe this is the treasure!" Lily says.
+
+"Or the fairy gift!" Ben says.
+
+They hug the balloon. They are happy again.
+
+"Let's celebrate!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, let's celebrate!" Ben says.
+
+They jump and dance and sing. They have fun. They think the balloon is important. They think the trail is important. They think their friendship is important. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They also liked to look for things in the grass. Sometimes they found shiny stones, feathers or bugs.
+
+One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It was near the fence. They were curious. They wanted to see what was inside. They went closer and closer. They did not see the sign that said "Danger".
+
+"Look, Lily, I found something!" Ben said. He reached into the hole and pulled out a small, round thing. It was green and had a button on it. "What is it?" he asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a toy. Can I see?" Lily said. She took the thing from Ben and put it in her pocket. She smiled. She liked to have new things.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a man. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. He looked angry and scared. He ran towards them. He shouted, "Hey, kids, get away from there! That's a grenade! It can explode and hurt you!"
+
+Ben and Lily did not know what a grenade was. They did not know what explode meant. But they saw the man's face and heard his voice. They felt afraid. They dropped their toys and ran back to the slide. They were alert. They wanted to be safe.
+
+The man reached the hole and saw the sign. He saw the button on the grenade. He saw the wire that connected it to a bomb. He realized that someone had planted a trap. He was too late. He could not stop it.
+
+The grenade in Lily's pocket became very hot. It made a click. Then it made a boom. It blew up. It hurt Lily and Ben and the man. It made a big fire and smoke. It made a hole in the fence. It made a lot of noise.
+
+People in the park heard the noise. They saw the fire and smoke. They saw the hole in the fence. They saw Lily and Ben and the man. They were shocked and sad. They called for help. They wished that Lily and Ben had not found the grenade. They wished that the man had seen the sign. They wished that the trap had not been there. They wished that the park had been safe.
+Lily was a bossy girl. She liked to tell everyone what to do and play. She had a big party for her birthday. She invited many friends from her school and her street. She also invited her cousin Ben, who was three like her.
+
+Ben was not a bossy boy. He liked to share and have fun. He brought a present for Lily. It was a big orange. He liked oranges. They were sweet and juicy. He hoped Lily would like it too.
+
+But Lily did not like the orange. She wanted a toy or a book or a dress. She said the orange was silly and boring. She threw it on the floor. She made Ben sad. He did not want to play with her anymore.
+
+Some of Lily's friends saw what she did. They did not like it either. They thought she was rude and mean. They did not want to play with her anymore. They went to Ben and said they were sorry. They asked him if he wanted to play with them. He said yes. They gave him some cake and juice. They played with the balloons and the games. They had fun.
+
+Lily saw that Ben and her friends were happy. She felt lonely and sorry. She realized she was wrong. She picked up the orange from the floor. She went to Ben and said she was sorry. She asked him if he could share the orange with her. He said yes. He smiled. They peeled the orange and ate it together. It was sweet and juicy. They said thank you. They hugged. They played with the balloons and the games. They had fun.
+Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They like to share their toys and have fun together.
+
+But today, Tom has a new toy. It is a big sack with a label that says "Tom's toys". Tom puts all his toys in the sack and zips it up. He does not want to share his new toy with Anna.
+
+"Tom, can I play with your sack?" Anna asks. She is curious about what is inside.
+
+"No, Anna. This is my sack. You can't play with it. Go play with your own toys," Tom says. He hugs his sack and turns away from Anna.
+
+Anna feels sad and angry. She thinks Tom is being mean and selfish. She wants to play with the sack too. She tries to grab the sack from Tom, but he holds it tight.
+
+"Let go of my sack, Anna! It's mine!" Tom shouts.
+
+"No, let me see it, Tom! You have to share!" Anna shouts back.
+
+They pull and tug on the sack, but neither of them can get it. They start to cry and yell louder and louder.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Tom and Anna fighting over the sack. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom, Anna, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a sack?" Mom asks.
+
+They both try to explain, but they are still crying and angry.
+
+Mom sighs and takes the sack from them. She unzips it and dumps out the toys on the floor.
+
+"Look, Tom, Anna, this sack is just a sack. It is not a toy. It is for storing your toys, not for playing with them. You have so many toys here. You can play with any of them. But you have to share and be nice to each other. Sharing is caring. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna look at the toys on the floor. They see their cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They realize that they have been silly and mean. They feel sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We will share and be nice to each other," Tom and Anna say.
+
+They hug Mom and say thank you. Then they hug each other and say sorry. They pick up their toys and put them back in the sack. They zip it up and put a new label on it. The label says "Tom and Anna's toys". They smile and decide to play with their toys together. They are happy and helpful. Mom is proud of them.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big house with a fence and a gate. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the gate and entered the yard.
+
+"Wow, look at this view!" Lily said, pointing to the flowers and the pond. "And look at that swing and that slide! This must be an expensive house!"
+
+"Let's try them!" Ben said, running to the swing. He pushed Lily on the swing and then they took turns on the slide. They had a lot of fun, but they did not notice that someone was watching them.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing here?" a voice shouted. It was the owner of the house, a grumpy old man. He came out of the door and walked towards them. "This is my house and my yard! You are not allowed to enter without my permission! Go away!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and sorry. They quickly got off the slide and ran to the gate. "We are sorry, sir," Lily said. "We just wanted to see your view and play with your toys. We did not mean to bother you."
+
+"Well, you did bother me!" the old man said. "You should not enter other people's property without asking. That is rude and wrong. How would you feel if someone entered your house and played with your things?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought about it. They would not like it if someone did that to them. They realized that they made a mistake. "You are right, sir," Ben said. "We feel bad. We will not do it again. We apologize."
+
+The old man saw that they were sincere and felt a little softer. He remembered that he was once a child who liked to play and explore. He decided to give them a chance. "Well, I accept your apology," he said. "But you have to promise me that you will respect other people's property and privacy. And if you want to see my view or play with my toys, you have to ask me first. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They promised to follow his rules. They thanked him and said goodbye. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be polite and careful when they enter a new place. They also learned that a view and toys are not as important as being kind and honest.
+Lily and Max were restless. They wanted to play outside, but it was too hot. Mom said they had to stay in the shade and drink water.
+
+"Can we help you, Mom?" Lily asked. Mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making food for the grill.
+
+"Sure, you can help me," Mom said. "You can provide the salad. Can you wash the lettuce and the tomatoes?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They liked to help Mom. They went to the sink and washed the lettuce and the tomatoes. They tore the lettuce into pieces and put them in a big bowl. They cut the tomatoes into slices and put them on a plate.
+
+"Good job, kids," Mom said. "You made a nice salad. Now we can go outside and grill the food."
+
+Lily and Max were happy. They followed Mom outside. Dad was waiting by the grill. He had chicken and corn on the grill. It smelled good.
+
+"Hi, Dad," Lily and Max said. "We helped Mom. We provided the salad."
+
+"Wow, you did a great job," Dad said. "You are very helpful. Thank you for providing the salad."
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They sat down at the table and waited for the food. They were not restless anymore. They were hungry and excited. They liked to grill with Mom and Dad.
+Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But they also like to sit on the bench and talk. The bench is big and green and has flowers around it.
+
+One day, they go to the park and see a boy on the bench. He is big and has a red hat. He does not look nice. He has a lot of toys on the bench and does not share. He says, "This is my bench. Go away!"
+
+Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They want to sit on the bench and talk. They say, "You are rude. You have to share. The bench is for everyone."
+
+The boy does not listen. He says, "No, it is not. It is mine. I complete this puzzle and then I play with this car and then I read this book. You can not have anything. Go away!"
+
+Ben and Mia do not know what to do. They look around and see a lady. She is nice and has a blue dress. She is the boy's mom. They go to her and say, "Excuse me, lady. Your boy is rude. He does not share the bench or the toys. He tells us to go away."
+
+The lady is surprised and sorry. She says, "Oh, I am sorry. He is not rude. He is shy. He does not have many friends. He likes to play alone. But he has to learn to share and be kind. Come, let me talk to him."
+
+The lady goes to the boy and says, "Son, these are Ben and Mia. They want to play with you. They want to sit on the bench and talk. You have to share the bench and the toys. You have to be nice. Can you do that?"
+
+The boy looks at his mom and then at Ben and Mia. He feels a little sorry. He says, "Okay, mom. I can do that. I can share the bench and the toys. I can be nice. Maybe we can be friends."
+
+Ben and Mia smile and say, "Yes, we can be friends. Thank you for sharing. Can we help you complete the puzzle?"
+
+The boy nods and says, "Yes, you can. It is a puzzle of a dinosaur. I like dinosaurs. Do you?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod and say, "Yes, we do. We like dinosaurs too. They are big and cool. Let's complete the puzzle together."
+
+They sit on the bench and start to complete the puzzle. They talk and laugh and have fun. The lady watches them and smiles. She is happy that her boy has made new friends. She thinks that the bench is a good place to play.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the yard. They have a ball, a bike, and a swing. The yard is big and warm. Sara and Ben are happy.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a stick. It is long and brown. Sara says, "Let's play with the stick. We can make a sword or a wand." Ben says, "OK. I want to be a knight. You can be a fairy."
+
+They take turns with the stick. Sara waves it and says, "I can make magic. Look, I can make the flowers grow." Ben swings it and says, "I can fight dragons. Look, I can break the fence." They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Ben swings the stick too hard. He hits the window of the house. The window makes a loud noise. It breaks into many pieces. Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the stick and run.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes out of the house. She sees the broken window and the stick. She is angry. She says, "Who did this? Who broke the window?" Sara and Ben are quiet. They look at the ground. They are sorry. They say, "We did, Mom. We were playing with the stick. We didn't mean to break the window."
+
+Mom sighs. She says, "You should be more careful. You could have hurt yourselves or someone else. The stick is not a toy. It is dangerous. You have to pay for the window. You have to do chores. And you have to say sorry to Dad. He will be home soon."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will do what you say. We will not play with the stick again." Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you, Sara and Ben. But you have to learn from your mistakes. Now, go inside and clean your room. I will call the repairman."
+
+Sara and Ben go inside. They are sad. They wish they had not played with the stick. They wish they had played with the ball, the bike, or the swing. They hope Dad will not be too mad. They hope the window will be fixed soon. They hope they can play in the yard again. The yard is big and warm. Sara and Ben are sorry.
+Lily and Max were playing with their cars in the garage. They liked to zoom them on the floor and make loud noises. They had many cars of different colors and sizes.
+
+But then, Lily saw a big spider on the wall. She was scared of spiders. She screamed and ran to Max. "Max, Max, there is a spider! Help me!" she cried.
+
+Max looked at the spider. He was not scared of spiders. He thought they were cool and had many legs. He said to Lily, "Don't worry, Lily. The spider is not bad. It won't hurt you. It is just looking for a home."
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not like the spider. She wanted it to go away. She said to Max, "No, Max. The spider is bad. It is ugly and hairy. It will bite me. Please make it go away."
+
+Max felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He said to Lily, "Okay, Lily. I will make it go away. But you have to be fair. You have to let me play with your red car. It is my favorite."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She loved her red car. It was shiny and fast. But she loved Max more. He was her brother and her friend. She said to Max, "Okay, Max. You can play with my red car. But only for a little while. And you have to be careful with it."
+
+Max smiled and nodded. He took the red car and went to the spider. He said to the spider, "Hello, spider. You have to leave now. You are scaring my sister. She does not like you. But I do. You are cool and have many legs. Maybe you can find another home in the garden. There are many bugs and flowers there. Goodbye, spider."
+
+He gently pushed the spider with the red car. The spider crawled away and disappeared. Max went back to Lily and gave her the red car. He said to Lily, "There, Lily. The spider is gone. You can play now. Are you happy?"
+
+Lily hugged Max and thanked him. She said to Max, "Yes, Max. I am happy. You are the best brother ever. I am sorry I was scared. Thank you for helping me. And thank you for being fair. You can play with my red car anytime."
+
+They smiled and played with their cars in the garage. They liked to zoom them on the floor and make loud noises. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. And they had each other.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They live in a big nation with many people. One day, they go to the park to play. They see a big tree with many birds.
+
+"Look, Tom, the birds are so pretty!" Sue says.
+
+"Yes, they are. I like their songs," Tom says.
+
+They go closer to the tree. They want to see the birds better. But the tree has many flowers. The flowers have a lot of dust. The dust makes Tom and Sue sneeze.
+
+"Achoo! Achoo!" Tom and Sue sneeze.
+
+The birds hear the sneezes. They get scared. They fly away from the tree.
+
+"Oh no, the birds are gone!" Sue says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sue. I didn't mean to scare them," Tom says.
+
+They look at the tree. They see something else. It is a big nest. The nest has four eggs. The eggs are blue and speckled.
+
+"Wow, look, Tom, the birds have eggs!" Sue says.
+
+"Maybe they are their babies," Tom says.
+
+They want to touch the eggs. They climb the tree. They are careful. They do not want to break the eggs.
+
+They reach the nest. They see the eggs. They are warm and smooth. They hear a sound. It is a crack. One of the eggs is moving.
+
+"Look, Tom, one of the eggs is hatching!" Sue says.
+
+They watch the egg. It cracks more. A small bird comes out. It is wet and fluffy. It has a yellow beak and black eyes. It opens its mouth. It makes a peep.
+
+"Hello, little bird!" Tom and Sue say.
+
+The little bird looks at them. It is not afraid. It is curious. It peeps again.
+
+"Are you hungry, little bird?" Sue asks.
+
+She finds a worm on the tree. She gives it to the little bird. The little bird eats the worm. It is happy. It peeps more.
+
+"Thank you, Sue," the little bird says.
+
+Tom and Sue are surprised. They did not know the little bird can talk.
+
+"How can you talk, little bird?" Tom asks.
+
+"I can talk because I am a magic bird," the little bird says.
+
+"A magic bird? What can you do?" Sue asks.
+
+"I can do many things. I can fly, I can sing, I can change colors. And I can grant wishes," the little bird says.
+
+"Really? Can you grant our wishes?" Tom and Sue ask.
+
+"Yes, I can. But only one wish for each of you. And you have to be careful what you wish for. Some wishes can be bad," the little bird says.
+
+Tom and Sue think. They do not know what to wish for. They look at the tree. They look at the park. They look at the sky. They see many things. But they do not want any of them.
+
+They look at each other. They smile. They know what to wish for.
+
+"We wish for you to be happy, little bird," Tom and Sue say.
+
+The little bird is touched. It feels a warm glow in its heart. It thanks Tom and Sue. It says they are very kind and good. It says it will always remember them. It says it will come back to visit them.
+
+It flaps its wings. It flies out of the nest. It joins the other birds. It sings a beautiful song. It changes colors. It makes a rainbow in the sky.
+
+Tom and Sue watch the little bird. They are happy too. They hug each other. They say they are the best friends ever. They say they do not need any other wishes. They have everything they need.
+Sara got a new pony for her birthday. She was very happy and loved her pony very much. She named her pony Star, because she had a white star on her forehead. Sara wanted to show Star to her friends, so she asked her mom if she could take Star to the park.
+
+"Of course, you can, Sara," her mom said. "But you have to be careful and kind with Star. She is new here and she might be scared of other animals and people. You have to spread love and kindness to Star and to everyone you meet."
+
+Sara nodded and hugged her mom. She put a pink bow on Star's mane and a saddle on her back. She climbed on Star and rode to the park. She saw her friends playing with their bikes and balls. She waved to them and said, "Hi, friends! Look at my new pony! Her name is Star and she is very pretty and gentle. Do you want to pet her?"
+
+Her friends ran to her and admired Star. They said, "Wow, Sara, your pony is amazing! She is so beautiful and soft. Can we ride her too?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Sure, you can. But you have to be gentle and nice to her. She is new here and she might be scared of loud noises and fast movements. You have to spread love and kindness to her and to everyone you meet."
+
+Her friends agreed and took turns riding Star. They thanked Sara for sharing her pony with them. They said, "Sara, you are very generous and kind. You have a big heart and you spread love and kindness to everyone you meet. We are lucky to have you as our friend."
+
+Sara felt happy and proud. She hugged Star and said, "Thank you, Star, for being my new pony and my new friend. You are very brave and sweet. You spread love and kindness to everyone you meet. I am lucky to have you as my pony and my friend."
+
+The moral of the story is: Love and kindness are the best gifts you can give and receive.
+Lila was a big girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a lion. The lion was soft and yellow, and had a fierce face. Lila liked to pretend that the lion was her friend and they went on adventures together.
+
+One day, Lila's mom told her that they had a new neighbor. His name was Sam, and he was three years old, like Lila. Lila's mom said that they should go and welcome Sam and his family. Lila was not sure. She did not know Sam, and she did not want to share her toys with him.
+
+Lila's mom took her and her lion to Sam's house. Sam opened the door and smiled. He saw Lila's lion and his eyes lit up. "Wow, what a cool lion!" he said. "Can I see it?" Lila hugged her lion and shook her head. She did not want to let Sam touch her lion. She thought he might take it away or break it.
+
+Sam looked sad. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I just like lions. I have a lion too, but it's not as nice as yours. It's old and worn, and it has a hole in its ear. Do you want to see it?" He ran inside and came back with his lion. It was small and gray, and it had a patch on its ear. Lila looked at Sam's lion and felt sorry for him. She thought that maybe Sam was lonely and needed a friend.
+
+Lila decided to be kind. She said, "Your lion is nice too. It looks brave and strong. Do you want to play with my lion? We can make them roar and chase each other." Sam smiled and nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lila. You are very nice. Can we be friends?" Lila nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, we can be friends. Come on, let's play!" She handed her lion to Sam and they ran to the backyard. They had fun playing with their lions and making up stories. Lila learned that sharing her toys was not so bad, and that welcoming a new neighbor was a good way to make a new friend.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They want to cook a cake for Mom. They find a big bowl and some eggs and flour and sugar.
+
+"Can I crack the eggs?" Lily asks.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben says. He pours the flour and sugar in the bowl.
+
+Lily cracks one egg and puts it in the bowl. She cracks another egg and puts it in the bowl. She cracks a third egg and drops it on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "I made a mess!"
+
+Ben looks at the floor. He sees the egg and the shell. He is not happy.
+
+"Lily, you have to be honest. You have to tell Mom what you did," he says.
+
+"But Mom will be mad at me," Lily says. She feels sad.
+
+"No, Mom will not be mad. She will be glad that you are honest. She will help us clean the floor and cook the cake," Ben says. He hugs Lily.
+
+"OK, I will tell Mom. I am sorry, Ben," Lily says.
+
+They go to find Mom and tell her what happened. Mom smiles and kisses them.
+
+"Thank you for being honest, Lily and Ben. I love you both. Come on, let's clean the floor and cook the cake together," she says.
+
+They clean the floor and cook the cake. The cake is yummy and Mom is proud of them. Lily and Ben are happy. They learned to be honest and to cook.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed with a blue cover.
+
+One night, Lily and Tom hear a noise. They are scared. They think it is a ghost. They hide under the cover and hold each other.
+
+"Tom, do you hear that?" Lily whispers.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I hear that. It sounds like a ghost. Maybe it wants to take our toys," Tom whispers back.
+
+They hear the noise again. It is louder and closer. They close their eyes and hope the ghost will go away.
+
+But the noise does not go away. It comes to their door and opens it. Lily and Tom scream.
+
+"Boo!" the noise says.
+
+Lily and Tom peek from under the cover. They see their dad. He is smiling and holding a flashlight. He is not a ghost. He is playing a trick on them.
+
+"Dad, you scared us!" Lily says.
+
+"That was not funny, dad!" Tom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. I was just having some fun. It's time to sleep now. Do you want a story?" dad says.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They are not scared anymore. They are happy to see their dad. They lie on their bed and listen to dad's story. He tells them about a dry land where there are no ghosts, only animals and plants. They like the story. They fall asleep and dream of the dry land.
+Tim and Mia are friends who like to play with trains. They have a big box of wooden tracks and colorful engines. They plan to make a long and fun railway in the living room.
+
+"Let's start here, by the sofa," Tim says. "We can make a bridge over the rug and a tunnel under the table."
+
+"Good idea," Mia agrees. "And we can use these blocks to make a station and a town."
+
+They work hard and soon they have a beautiful railway. They choose their favorite engines and start to run them on the tracks. They make noises like "choo-choo" and "toot-toot".
+
+But then they see a problem. One of the engines has a hole in its chimney and it cannot make steam. Steam is what makes the engines go fast and strong. Without steam, the engine is slow and weak.
+
+"Oh no, what can we do?" Tim asks. "This is my best engine and I want to play with it."
+
+"Don't worry, Tim," Mia says. "Maybe we can fix it. Do you have any tape or glue available?"
+
+Tim looks around and finds a roll of tape in a drawer. He brings it to Mia and they try to cover the hole with tape. They hope it will work.
+
+They put the engine back on the tracks and push it gently. They watch and wait. Then they see a little puff of steam coming out of the chimney.
+
+"Hooray, it works!" Tim cheers. "Thank you, Mia. You are a great friend and a great engineer."
+
+"You're welcome, Tim," Mia smiles. "Now let's play some more. Our railway is the best."
+Tim and Lily were having breakfast with their mom. They liked toast with butter and jam. Mom cut the toast into small pieces for them and put them on their plates.
+
+"Can we go outside and play?" Tim asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. It's too cold and wet. You have to wait until the sun comes out," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily felt bored. They wanted to have fun. They looked around the kitchen and saw the toaster. It was shiny and had two slots. They wondered what would happen if they put something else in the toaster.
+
+"Let's try this," Tim whispered to Lily. He took a crayon from his pocket and broke it in half. He gave one piece to Lily and kept the other. They sneaked to the toaster and pushed the crayon pieces into the slots. Then they pressed the lever down.
+
+The toaster made a loud noise and sparks flew out. Smoke came out of the slots and the crayon pieces melted. The toaster smelled bad. Tim and Lily screamed and ran away.
+
+Mom heard the noise and saw the smoke. She ran to the kitchen and unplugged the toaster. She was angry and scared. She scolded Tim and Lily for being naughty and dangerous.
+
+"Never ever put anything in the toaster except bread! You could have started a fire or hurt yourself! Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily nodded and said sorry. They felt sorry and scared. They hugged Mom and promised to be good. Mom hugged them back and forgave them. She threw away the toaster and the crayon pieces. She made them new toast and gave them some milk.
+
+She told them to be careful and curious, but not dangerous. She said they could ask her anything they wondered about. Tim and Lily learned their lesson and ate their toast. They waited for the sun to come out and play.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Anna!" Ben says. "It will be fun!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Anna says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and the grass is slippery."
+
+They start to climb the hill. They hold hands and help each other. They are almost at the top when Anna slips and falls. She hurts her knee. It bleeds and it hurts a lot.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna cries. "Ben, help me!"
+
+Ben runs to Anna and hugs her. He tries to make her feel better. He says, "Don't cry, Anna. It will be OK. Your knee will improve. We will go home and Mom will put a band-aid on it. You will be happy again."
+
+But Anna is not happy. She is scared and sad. She says, "No, Ben. It will not be OK. My knee will not improve. It will get worse. It will get infected and I will get sick. I will have to go to the hospital and they will cut off my leg. I will never be happy again."
+
+Ben does not know what to say. He does not understand what Anna is saying. He thinks she is being silly. He says, "No, Anna. That will not happen. You are being silly. Come on, let's go home. Mom will make you happy."
+
+But Anna does not listen. She keeps crying and saying bad things. She does not want to go home. She does not want to move. She stays on the hill and cries and cries.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in a different world. They used their wardrobe as a door to the world. They put on hats and coats and scarves from the wardrobe.
+
+"Let's go to the snow world today," Ben said. He opened the wardrobe and saw white and fluffy things. "Look, snowballs!"
+
+He took one and threw it at Anna. Anna laughed and threw one back. They had a snowball fight in their room. They did not see that they were making a mess.
+
+Mum came in and saw the snow everywhere. She was angry. "What are you doing? You are destroying the wardrobe and the room! Stop it right now!"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped and looked at Mum. They were scared. They did not want to make Mum angry. They said sorry.
+
+Mum sighed and said, "It's okay, but you have to clean up. And don't play with the wardrobe anymore. It's not a toy. It's for clothes."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They helped Mum clean up the snow. They put the hats and coats and scarves back in the wardrobe. They said thank you to Mum.
+
+Mum smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you have fun, but you have to be careful. And you have to be grateful for what you have. The wardrobe is not a door to a different world. It's a gift from Grandma. She made it for you."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged Mum and said, "We love you, Mum. And we love Grandma. And we love the wardrobe. We won't destroy it again."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They also liked to use the dishes that Mom kept in the cupboard. But they had to be careful, because some of the dishes were very old and ugly. Mom said they were from Grandma and they were special.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom found a dish that they had never seen before. It was round and flat and had a picture of a cat on it. It was not ugly, it was pretty. Lily and Tom wanted to play with it.
+
+"Can we use this dish, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom looked at the dish and smiled. "Sure, you can use it. But be very gentle with it. It is a magic dish. It can make things disappear."
+
+"Wow, a magic dish!" Tom said. "How does it work?"
+
+Mom said, "You have to put something on the dish and say 'abracadabra'. Then the thing will disappear. But be careful, you can only do it once a day. And you have to say 'abracadabra' again to make the thing come back."
+
+Lily and Tom were excited. They wanted to try the magic dish. They looked around the kitchen and saw a banana on the table. They put the banana on the dish and said "abracadabra". The banana disappeared.
+
+"Wow, it worked!" Lily said.
+
+"Where did the banana go?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it went to the cat in the picture." Lily said.
+
+They laughed and clapped their hands. They wanted to make the banana come back. But they forgot to say "abracadabra" again. They got distracted by another game and left the dish on the floor.
+
+Later, Mom came back to the kitchen and saw the dish. She picked it up and put it back in the cupboard. She did not notice the banana was missing.
+
+The next day, Lily and Tom remembered the magic dish. They wanted to play with it again. They looked for it in the cupboard, but they could not find it. They asked Mom where it was.
+
+Mom said, "I put it away. It is not a toy. It is a special dish from Grandma. You can only use it sometimes."
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to see the banana again. They wanted to see the cat again. They wanted to see the magic again.
+
+But they could not. The dish was gone. The banana was gone. The magic was gone. They had made it disappear.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to pick some apples and eat them.
+
+"Look, Lily, apples!" Tom said. "Let's hurry and get some. They look yummy."
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The tree is very high." Lily said. She followed Tom to the tree.
+
+Tom and Lily climbed the tree. They reached for the apples. They were happy and cheerful. They did not see the angry dog that came to the park.
+
+The dog saw Tom and Lily in the tree. He did not like them. He barked and growled. He wanted to bite them.
+
+"Tom, Lily, come down!" a voice shouted. It was their mom. She saw the dog and was scared. "Hurry, hurry, the dog is bad!"
+
+Tom and Lily heard their mom. They were afraid. They tried to hurry and come down. But they slipped and fell. The dog ran to them and bit them. They cried and hurt.
+
+Their mom ran to them and hugged them. She called for help. She was sad and angry. The dog ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily went to the hospital. They had bandages and stitches. They were not cheerful anymore. They wished they had not climbed the tree. They learned a lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big white bug with many legs. It was crawling on a leaf.
+
+"Wow, look at this bug!" Tom said. "It is so white and shiny. I wonder what it is."
+
+Lily stared at the bug. She did not like it. It looked scary and weird. She wanted to run away.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this bug. It is not pretty. It is creepy. Let's go and find another bug," she said.
+
+Tom did not want to go. He liked the white bug. He wanted to touch it and see what it felt like.
+
+"No, Lily, this bug is cool. It is different from the other bugs. Maybe it is rare. Maybe it is magic. I want to keep it," he said.
+
+He reached out his hand to pick up the bug. But the bug did not like Tom. It did not want to be touched. It opened its mouth and made a loud hiss. It showed its teeth and bit Tom's finger.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "The bug bit me! It hurts! It hurts!"
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was sorry for him. She was also glad that she did not touch the bug.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry. The bug is mean. It is not magic. It is bad. Let's go and tell mom. She will make it better," she said.
+
+They left the bug on the leaf and ran to the house. They never played with the white bug again. They learned to be careful with bugs they did not know.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in different colors. Tom has a big orange truck with four wheels. Sam has a small blue car with two wheels.
+
+One day, they go to the park to play with their cars and trucks. They find a hill and roll their cars and trucks down the hill. They have fun and laugh. But then, something bad happens. Tom's big orange truck hits a rock and breaks. One of the wheels falls off and rolls away. Tom is very sad. He cries and cries.
+
+Sam tries to help Tom. He says, "Don't cry, Tom. It's OK. We can fix your truck. We can find your wheel. We can play with my car." But Tom does not listen. He is too sad. He says, "No, Sam. I don't want to play with your car. I want my truck. I want my wheel. Go away, Sam. You are not my friend."
+
+Sam is hurt by Tom's words. He feels angry and sad. He says, "Fine, Tom. If you don't want to be my friend, I don't want to be your friend either. I will take my car and go home. Bye, Tom." He picks up his car and leaves.
+
+Tom is alone in the park. He still cries and cries. He looks for his wheel, but he cannot find it. He holds his broken truck and feels sorry. He wishes he did not say those mean words to Sam. He wishes he had his friend back. But it is too late. Sam is gone. Tom is alone. He has no truck. He has no wheel. He has no friend. The end.
+Ben loves to watch the jets fly in the sky. He likes the noise they make and the trails they leave behind. He wants to be a jet pilot when he grows up. He has a toy jet that he plays with every day. He makes it zoom and loop and land on his bed.
+
+One day, Ben sees a real jet flying very low over his house. He runs outside to get a better look. He sees the jet is red and blue and shiny. He thinks it is the most beautiful jet he has ever seen. He wants to touch it and fly it. He runs after the jet, trying to catch up with it.
+
+He does not see the fence at the end of his yard. He does not hear his mom calling him to stop. He only sees the jet getting closer and closer. He thinks he can reach it if he runs fast enough. He stretches out his hand and jumps.
+
+But he cannot reach the jet. He hits the fence hard and falls to the ground. He feels a terrible pain in his arm and his leg. He starts to cry. He drops his toy jet and it breaks. He sees the real jet fly away and disappear.
+
+His mom runs to him and hugs him. She sees he is hurt and bleeding. She tells him he is very brave and she loves him. She takes him inside and calls the doctor. She gives him a bandage and a kiss. She tells him he will be okay. She tells him he can get a new toy jet. She tells him he can still be a jet pilot when he grows up. She tells him he is her hero. Ben smiles and hugs her. He feels better. He still loves jets.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck that made loud noises. Lily had a doll that could talk and sing. They were having fun, but they also wanted to try each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your truck, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Tom said.
+
+"But I want to change. Your truck is cool. It has a button that makes it go vroom," Lily said.
+
+"Well, I want to change too. Your doll is pretty. It has a button that makes it say hello," Tom said.
+
+They both reached for each other's toys, but they pulled too hard. The buttons came off and the toys stopped working. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They started to cry.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken toys and the buttons on the floor.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Tom and Lily broke their toys. They wanted to change, but they were not careful," Mom said.
+
+She picked up the buttons and the toys. She looked at them and smiled.
+
+"Don't worry, I can fix them. But first, you need to say sorry to each other and share your toys," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily wiped their tears and nodded. They said sorry and hugged each other. Mom fixed the buttons and the toys. She gave them back to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Here you go. Now you can play with them again. But remember, be gentle and take turns. And when you are done, put them away in the clean box," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked Mom and smiled. They played with their toys happily. They changed sometimes, but they also liked their own toys. They were careful and kind. They had fun.
+Tommy liked to whistle. He whistled all the time. He whistled when he woke up, when he ate, when he played, and when he went to bed. He whistled so loud that everyone in the town could hear him.
+
+Some people liked Tommy's whistling. They said it was happy and fun. They smiled and waved at him when he passed by. They gave him candy and toys. Tommy felt popular and proud.
+
+But some people did not like Tommy's whistling. They said it was noisy and annoying. They frowned and shouted at him when he passed by. They told him to be quiet and go away. Tommy felt angry and sad.
+
+One day, Tommy met a girl named Lily. She was new in the town. She had a big smile and a pretty dress. Tommy wanted to be her friend. He whistled at her to say hello.
+
+But Lily did not smile back. She covered her ears and ran away. She did not like whistling. She liked singing. She sang softly and sweetly. She sang songs that made people happy and calm.
+
+Tommy followed her and asked her why she ran away. Lily told him that his whistling hurt her ears and made her scared. She said that he should not whistle so loud and so much. She said that he should listen to other people and be kind.
+
+Tommy felt sorry and ashamed. He realized that his whistling was not always good. He realized that he had made some people unhappy and mad. He realized that he had not been a good friend.
+
+He apologized to Lily and asked her to teach him how to sing. Lily smiled and agreed. She taught him how to sing softly and sweetly. She taught him how to sing songs that made people happy and calm.
+
+Tommy learned how to sing. He still liked to whistle, but he did not whistle all the time. He whistled when he was alone or with people who liked whistling. He sang when he was with people who liked singing. He listened to other people and was kind.
+
+People in the town noticed the change in Tommy. They saw that he was not noisy and annoying anymore. They saw that he was happy and fun. They saw that he was a good friend. They liked him more and more.
+
+Tommy felt popular and proud. But he also felt humble and grateful. He thanked Lily for teaching him how to sing. He thanked the people for liking him. He whistled and sang with joy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Whistling is good, but singing is better. Listening to other people and being kind is the best.
+Lily and Ben were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They had to pack their bags and take their passports. A passport was a small book with their names and pictures in it. They needed it to go on the plane and see new places.
+
+The day they left, it was raining hard. Lily and Ben looked out the window and saw big drops of water falling from the sky. They heard thunder and saw lightning. They were scared and excited at the same time.
+
+"Will the rain stop soon?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"I hope so, honey. We don't want to miss our flight," Mom said.
+
+"Can we play in the rain?" Ben asked Dad.
+
+"Maybe later, buddy. We have to get to the airport first," Dad said.
+
+They put on their coats and hats and got in the car. Mom drove carefully and Dad checked the time. They listened to music and sang along. They hoped the rain would stop soon.
+
+When they got to the airport, the rain had stopped. They saw a big rainbow in the sky. It had many colors and looked incredible. Lily and Ben pointed and smiled.
+
+"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Lily said.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Ben said.
+
+"It's a good sign. It means we'll have a wonderful trip," Mom said.
+
+They got out of the car and took their bags and passports. They walked to the big building where the planes were. They were ready for their big trip. They couldn't wait to see new places and have fun. They were happy and curious. They thanked the rainbow for the incredible gift.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog was barking and wagging its tail.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. He shrugged. "Maybe we should ask the owner."
+
+They looked around, but they did not see anyone. The dog was alone. It seemed sad and lonely.
+
+"Hello, doggy," Lily said. She walked towards the dog. "Are you lost?"
+
+The dog stopped barking and licked Lily's hand. It was friendly and soft. Lily smiled and scratched its ear.
+
+"Come on, Tom," she said. "The dog is nice. He wants to play with us."
+
+Tom was not sure. He was a little afraid of dogs. He stayed behind Lily.
+
+"Are you sure?" he asked. "What if he bites?"
+
+"He won't bite," Lily said. "He likes us. Look, he's happy."
+
+She threw a stick and the dog ran after it. It brought the stick back and dropped it at Lily's feet. Lily threw it again and the dog chased it.
+
+Tom watched them. He saw how much fun they were having. He decided to join them. He picked up another stick and threw it. The dog ran after it and brought it back to Tom. It licked Tom's face. Tom laughed and rubbed its belly.
+
+They played with the dog for a long time. They forgot about everything else. They did not hear the distant sound of a car horn. They did not see the man who was looking for his dog. They did not notice when he came closer and called the dog's name.
+
+"Rex, Rex, where are you?" the man shouted.
+
+The dog heard the man. It lifted its head and barked. It ran towards the man. It jumped on him and licked his face.
+
+"Rex, there you are!" the man said. He hugged the dog. "I was so worried. How did you get out of the yard?"
+
+He looked at Lily and Tom. He saw their sticks and their smiles.
+
+"Did you play with my dog?" he asked them.
+
+"Yes, we did," Lily said. "He's a good dog. We like him."
+
+"Thank you for keeping him company," the man said. "He's a friendly dog, but he gets lonely sometimes. He likes to make new friends."
+
+He put the red collar on the dog. He waved at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Bye, kids," he said. "Maybe we'll see you again."
+
+"Bye, doggy," Lily and Tom said. "We'll miss you."
+
+They watched the man and the dog get in the car and drive away. They felt sad, but also happy. They had made a new friend. They shrugged and went back to the swings. They hoped to see the dog again someday.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom had a lion toy and Lily had a zebra toy.
+
+"Roar!" Tom said, holding his lion toy. "I am a big and hungry lion. I want to eat you, zebra!"
+
+"No, no!" Lily said, holding her zebra toy. "You are a nice lion. You do not want to eat me. You want to be my friend."
+
+Tom shook his head. He wanted to play a game where he chased Lily and her zebra toy. He thought it was funny. He ran after Lily and her toy, making loud roars.
+
+Lily ran away from Tom and his toy, making scared noises. She did not like this game. She wanted to play something else. She looked for a place to hide. She saw a basket with some clothes on the sofa. She ran to the basket and jumped inside. She hoped Tom would not find her.
+
+Tom saw Lily run to the sofa. He followed her. He saw the basket with the clothes. He guessed Lily was hiding there. He smiled. He reached his hand inside the basket to grab Lily and her toy. He felt something sharp poke his finger. He cried out in pain. He pulled his hand out of the basket. He saw a red drop of blood on his finger. He saw a pin stuck in his finger. He did not like pins. They hurt.
+
+Lily heard Tom cry out. She peeked out of the basket. She saw Tom holding his finger. She saw the pin and the blood. She felt sorry for Tom. She did not want him to be hurt. She came out of the basket and went to Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I did not know there was a pin in the basket. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom looked at Lily. He saw her worried face. He felt a little better. He did not want to be mad at Lily. She was his friend.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Tom said. "It was an accident. The pin was hiding in the clothes. You did not see it. I did not see it either."
+
+Lily hugged Tom. She was glad he was not angry. She wanted to make him happy.
+
+"Let's play a different game," Lily said. "A game where we do not chase each other. A game where we share and help each other."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked that idea. He did not want to play the lion and zebra game anymore. He wanted to play a nice game with Lily.
+
+"Okay, Lily," Tom said. "Let's play a different game. What game do you want to play?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked around the living room. She saw a book on the table. She liked books. They had pictures and words. She wanted to read a book with Tom.
+
+"Let's read a book," Lily said. "A book about animals. But not lions and zebras. A book about friendly animals. Animals that do not hurt each other."
+
+Tom agreed. He liked books too. He wanted to learn about animals. He wanted to see friendly animals. He took the pin out of his finger and threw it in the trash. He did not want to touch it again. He warned Lily to be careful with pins. They were not toys. They were dangerous.
+
+Lily listened to Tom. She was careful with pins. She did not want to touch them either. She thanked Tom for warning her. She took his hand and led him to the table. She picked up the book and opened it. She saw a picture of a bear and a rabbit. They looked happy. They looked like friends.
+
+"Look, Tom," Lily said. "A bear and a rabbit. They are friends. They do not eat each other. They play together. They share their food. They help each other. They are nice animals."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked the bear and the rabbit. He liked their friendship. He wanted to be like them. He wanted to be a nice animal. He wanted to be a nice friend.
+
+"Yes, Lily," Tom said. "They are nice animals. They are nice friends. Just like us."
+Lily liked to play with her toy pig. She named him Pinky and gave him a hat and a scarf. She took him everywhere with her. One day, she went to the park with her mom and Pinky. She saw some other kids playing with a ball. She wanted to join them.
+
+She asked her mom if she could play with the ball. Her mom said yes, but told her to be careful and not to lose Pinky. Lily ran to the kids and asked if she could play with them. They said yes, but one of them was mean. He was a big boy with a red shirt. He did not like Lily or Pinky.
+
+He grabbed Pinky from Lily and threw him far away. He said, "I don't like pigs. They are dirty and ugly. Go away, you and your pig." Lily was very sad and angry. She ran after Pinky, but he was too far. She could not find him. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mean boy and the ball. She asked Lily what happened. Lily told her everything. Her mom was very mad. She went to the mean boy and took the ball from him. She said, "You are a bad boy. You hurt Lily and Pinky. You should say sorry and give Pinky back. If you don't, I will send you to the time-out corner."
+
+The mean boy was scared. He did not want to go to the time-out corner. He said sorry to Lily and gave her Pinky back. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. I won't do it again. Please don't send me to the time-out corner." Lily looked at Pinky. He was dirty and his hat and scarf were gone. She was still sad, but she was also kind. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But don't be mean to pigs or anyone else. They have feelings too."
+
+Lily hugged Pinky and her mom. Her mom said, "You are a good girl, Lily. You are brave and kind. I'm proud of you. Let's go home and wash Pinky and find him a new hat and scarf." Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "I love you, mom. I love you, Pinky." They went home and lived happily ever after. The end.
+Tommy loved to zoom his toy car on the floor. He made loud noises with his mouth as he pretended to drive fast and do tricks. He zoomed his car under the table, over the couch, and around the lamp. He was having so much fun that he did not hear his mom call him for dinner.
+
+"Tommy, dinner is ready! Come and eat your steak and veggies!" his mom said from the kitchen. She had cooked a big and juicy steak for Tommy, because he liked it so much. She hoped he would also eat some of the green beans and carrots that she had prepared.
+
+But Tommy did not want to stop playing. He zoomed his car some more, and ignored his mom. He thought he could play for a little longer, and then eat his steak later. He did not know that his dog, Spot, was also hungry and smelled the steak.
+
+Spot was a silly dog. He liked to chase things that moved, like balls, birds, and cats. He also liked to eat things that smelled good, like bones, cheese, and steak. He saw Tommy zoom his car on the floor, and he thought it was a game. He decided to join in and chase the car.
+
+"Spot, no!" Tommy shouted, as he saw his dog run towards his toy. He tried to pick up his car, but it was too late. Spot caught the car in his mouth, and bit it hard. The car broke into pieces, and Spot spit them out. He did not like the taste of plastic.
+
+Tommy was very sad. He loved his car, and now it was ruined. He started to cry, and hugged the broken toy. His mom heard him, and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Oh, Tommy, I'm sorry. Spot was very naughty. He should not have done that," his mom said, as she hugged him and stroked his hair. She felt sorry for Tommy, but she also felt a little angry at him. She had told him to come for dinner, and he had not listened. She looked at the clock, and saw that it was late. She wondered if the steak was still warm.
+
+She took Tommy by the hand, and led him to the kitchen. She hoped he would still eat his steak and veggies, and learn his lesson. She also hoped that Spot would not find the steak on the table, and eat it too. She did not know that Spot was already sneaking behind them, and licking his lips. He smelled the steak, and he wanted it. He was a silly dog.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside.
+
+"Can we go in the hole?" Tom asks his mom.
+
+"No, it is not safe. The hole is for the underground train. The train is very fast and loud. It takes people to different places," his mom says.
+
+"What is a train?" Mia asks her mom.
+
+"A train is a long thing with many cars. It has wheels and an engine. It moves on tracks. It can carry people and things," her mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia are curious. They want to see the train. They wait near the hole. They hear a noise. They see a light. The train comes out of the hole. It is big and colorful. It has windows and doors. It has a number and a name.
+
+"Wow, look at the train!" Tom says.
+
+"It is so different from our cars!" Mia says.
+
+They watch the train go by. They see people inside. They wave at them. The people wave back. Tom and Mia smile. They have learned something new. They like to study the world.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook with pots and pans. They make noises like sssss and yum yum.
+
+One day, they see a big cake in the fridge. It is for Mom's birthday. It has pink and white frosting and sprinkles. It looks yummy.
+
+"Let's have some cake," says Tim. He opens the fridge and takes out the cake.
+
+"No, Tim, we can't," says Sam. "That is Mom's cake. She will be sad if we eat it."
+
+But Tim does not listen. He puts the cake on the table and takes a big bite. He smiles and says, "Mmm, this is good."
+
+Sam is scared. He hears Mom coming. He says, "Tim, hurry, put the cake back. Mom is here."
+
+But it is too late. Mom sees the cake with a big hole. She sees Tim with frosting on his face. She is angry. She says, "Tim, what did you do? You ate my cake. That was very naughty."
+
+Tim feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry. I wanted to cook like you. You are a mighty cook. You make the best cake."
+
+Mom sighs. She says, "Thank you, Tim. But you should not eat my cake without asking. That is not nice. You have to share and wait for your turn. Now you have to help me make a new cake for my birthday."
+
+Tim nods. He says, "OK, Mom. I will help you. I love you, Mom. Happy birthday."
+
+Mom hugs Tim. She says, "I love you too, Tim. Thank you for helping me. You are a mighty helper. Now let's go and cook a new cake together."
+
+Sam smiles. He says, "Can I help too, Mom?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Sam. You are a mighty helper too. Come on, let's go and cook a new cake together."
+
+They all go to the kitchen. They cook a new cake. They have fun. They sing happy birthday to Mom. They eat the cake. They are happy. The end.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a pack of gum in their mom's purse. They thought it was candy and wanted to try it.
+
+"Let's feed some to our teddy bears," Tim said. "They must be hungry."
+
+"Okay," Kim agreed. "But we have to be quiet. Mom said we can't have gum."
+
+They took two pieces of gum and gave one to each of their teddy bears. They watched as the bears chewed the gum with their mouths.
+
+"Look, they like it!" Tim said. "They are happy."
+
+But soon, the gum got stuck in the bears' fur. It was sticky and hard to pull out. The bears looked messy and sad.
+
+"Oh no, what did we do?" Kim said. "We made them dirty. Mom will be mad at us."
+
+They tried to clean the bears, but it was too late. The gum was everywhere. They felt bad and scared.
+
+Mom came into the room and saw the mess. She was confused and angry.
+
+"Tim, Kim, what is this?" she asked. "Why did you feed gum to your teddy bears? You know gum is not candy. It is bad for your teeth and your toys."
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Tim and Kim said. "We didn't know. We wanted to make them happy."
+
+Mom sighed and hugged them. "I know you didn't mean to hurt them, but you have to be careful with what you give to your toys. They are not real animals. They can't eat gum or anything else. They only need your love and care."
+
+She helped them wash the bears and put them in the dryer. She also gave them some real candy as a treat.
+
+Tim and Kim learned their lesson. They never fed gum to their teddy bears again. They only fed them hugs and kisses.
+Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play all day. They play with their toys, their books, and their dog. Sometimes they make a mess. Mom and Dad do not like messes.
+
+One evening, Mom and Dad say, "It is time to clean up. Put your toys and books in the boxes. Brush your teeth and put on your pajamas. Then you can relax and listen to a story."
+
+Lila and Tom do what Mom and Dad say. They clean up their room. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They go to their bed and wait for Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad come to their bed. They have a book. It is a book about a princess and a dragon. Lila and Tom like this book. They snuggle with Mom and Dad and listen to the story.
+
+The story is fun and exciting. The princess is brave and smart. The dragon is big and scary. But the princess and the dragon become friends. They help each other and have adventures.
+
+Lila and Tom smile and clap. They say, "We like this story. Thank you, Mom and Dad."
+
+Mom and Dad say, "You are welcome, Lila and Tom. We love you. Now it is time to sleep. Have sweet dreams."
+
+They kiss Lila and Tom good night. They turn off the light. Lila and Tom close their eyes. They feel happy and relaxed. They fall asleep.
+Ben likes to help his mom with the clothes. He likes to see the clothes change from wrinkly to smooth. He likes to hear the hiss of the iron. He likes to smell the fresh and clean.
+
+One day, Ben sees the iron on the table. Mom is not in the room. Ben wants to help. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the iron. He stretches his arm as far as he can. He touches the iron. It is very hot. It hurts his hand. He cries out loud.
+
+Mom hears Ben and runs to the room. She sees Ben holding his hand. She sees the iron on the floor. She is scared and angry. She hugs Ben and says, "No, no, no! You should not touch the iron. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. It can burn you. You are a good boy, but you made a bad choice. You need to listen to mom and stay away from the iron."
+
+Ben feels sorry and sad. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help. I wanted to make the clothes smooth. I did not know the iron was hot. It hurt me. I will not touch the iron again. I will listen to you. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom kisses Ben and says, "I love you, too, Ben. I know you wanted to help. But you need to be careful and safe. The iron is not for you. It is for mom. You can help me with other things. You can fold the clothes. You can put them in the drawers. You can be a good helper. But you need to ask me first. OK?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK, mom. I will ask you first. I will be a good helper. I will fold the clothes. I will put them in the drawers. I will be careful and safe. Thank you, mom."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good boy. I'm proud of you. Now let's go and put some ice on your hand. It will make it feel better."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They had a lot of fun. But then they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a castle or a dragon!"
+
+"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep. And we don't have our hats or water. It is very hot today."
+
+They started to climb the hill. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the rocks and dirt. They felt the sun on their backs and the sweat on their faces. They were very tired. But they kept going. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+They reached the top of the hill. They looked around. They saw nothing but more hills and trees and sky. There was no treasure or castle or dragon. They felt sad and disappointed.
+
+"Is this it?" Lily asked. "There is nothing here."
+
+"I guess so," Ben said. "Maybe we should go back. It is getting late. And we are very thirsty and hungry."
+
+They turned around to go back. But then they saw something that made them scream. A big snake was lying on the path. It was green and brown and had black spots. It looked angry and hungry. It hissed and coiled and showed its fangs.
+
+"Help!" Ben and Lily shouted. "A snake! A snake!"
+
+They tried to run away. But they were too tired and slow. The snake was fast and strong. It lunged at them and bit them. They felt a sharp pain and a warm feeling in their legs. They fell to the ground. They could not move or speak. They could only cry and watch as the snake wrapped itself around them and squeezed them. They were very scared. They wished they had never climbed the hill. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They wished they had said goodbye. They closed their eyes. They never opened them again.
+Lily was miserable. She had a rash on her arms and legs. It was red and itchy. Mommy said she had to put lotion on it every day. But Lily hated lotion. It was cold and sticky and smelled funny.
+
+One day, Lily had an idea. She saw her brother's toy car on the floor. It had big wheels that could spin. Lily took the lotion bottle and squeezed some on the wheels. Then she pushed the car and watched it spin. The lotion made the wheels slippery and shiny. Lily giggled. This was fun!
+
+But Mommy was not happy. She came into the room and saw the mess. Lotion was everywhere. On the floor, on the walls, on the car, on Lily. Mommy frowned and said, "Lily, what did you do? You wasted the lotion. And you made a big mess. You have to clean it up. And you still have to put lotion on your rash."
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She just wanted to play. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I was bored. I don't like lotion. It hurts my rash."
+
+Mommy sighed and hugged Lily. She said, "I know, sweetie. But lotion will help your rash get better. It will make it less itchy and red. And you can still play. But not with lotion. How about we play with something else? Something that can spin, too. Like a top. Or a ball. Or a spinner. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked tops and balls and spinners. They were fun and colorful and made noises. She said, "Yes, Mommy. I would like that. Can we play now?"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's clean up the lotion. And put some on your rash. OK?"
+
+Lily agreed. She helped Mommy wipe the lotion off the floor and the walls and the car. Then she let Mommy put some lotion on her rash. It still felt cold and sticky and smelled funny. But it did not hurt as much. And she knew it would make her rash better. Then she and Mommy played with the top and the ball and the spinner. They spun them and watched them and laughed. Lily was not miserable anymore. She was happy.
+Sara likes to cook with Mom. Mom gives Sara a new apron and a spoon. Sara stirs the soup in the pot. She smells the carrots and the chicken. She says, "Yum!"
+
+Mom and Sara put the soup in a bowl. They carry the bowl to the table. Dad and Ben are waiting. They are hungry. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Sara!"
+
+Sara smiles. She feels happy. She likes to cook with Mom. She likes to eat with Dad and Ben. She likes the new apron and the spoon. She says, "You're welcome!"
+Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooking and serving food. Sara put some water in a big mug and put it in the microwave. She wanted to make tea for Ben.
+
+"Ben, do you want some tea?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, please," Ben said. He was sitting at the table with a plate and a spoon. He was pretending to eat cake.
+
+Sara took the mug out of the microwave. It was very hot. She held it with both hands and walked slowly to the table. She was careful not to spill the water.
+
+"Here you go, Ben," she said. She put the mug in front of him.
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Ben said. He picked up the mug with one hand. He did not realize how hot it was. He burned his fingers and dropped the mug. The water spilled all over the table and the floor.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He shook his hand and rubbed it. He was very sad.
+
+Sara was scared. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She ran to get a towel and a band-aid. She wanted to help Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry," she said. She wiped the water and wrapped the band-aid around his finger. She hugged him and kissed him.
+
+"It's okay, Sara, it's okay," Ben said. He hugged her back and smiled. He was not mad at Sara. He knew she was a good sister.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She was fat and kind. She always made them feel better.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked. She saw the water, the mug, and the band-aid.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They hoped their mom would not be angry.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it.
+
+"Me first!" Tim shouted. He climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. He laughed and ran back to the ladder.
+
+"Me next!" Sam said. He waited for his turn, but Tim did not let him. Tim climbed up again and slid down. He did it again and again.
+
+"Tim, let Sam have a turn!" his mom said. "It is not nice to delay him. He is your friend."
+
+"I don't care!" Tim said. He kept sliding and sliding. Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted to slide too.
+
+Then, something bad happened. Tim slid down too fast and hit his head on the ground. He cried and held his head. His mom ran to him and hugged him. She checked his head and said he was okay, but he had a bump.
+
+"Are you okay, Tim?" Sam asked. He was worried about Tim, even though Tim was mean to him.
+
+Tim looked at Sam and felt sorry. He remembered how Sam was his friend and how he shared his toys and snacks with him. He realized he was selfish and rude.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," Tim said. "I was wrong. You can slide now. I will wait for you."
+
+Sam smiled and thanked Tim. He climbed up the ladder and slid down. He had fun and so did Tim. They took turns and played together.
+
+Their moms watched them and smiled. They were proud of their boys. They learned a lesson that day: to be fair and kind to their friends, and not to delay their happiness. They hugged each other and went home. They had a tight bond and a good memory.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. Lily had a red cap that her mom gave her. She loved her cap very much.
+
+"Look at my cap, Ben!" Lily said. "It is red and soft and warm. Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, Lily, your cap is very nice," Ben said. "But can I try it on? Just for a little bit?"
+
+Lily did not want to share her cap. She shook her head. "No, Ben, this is my cap. You have your own hat. Go away!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to see how the cap felt on his head. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He waited until Lily was not looking. Then he ran and grabbed her cap. He put it on his head and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give me back my cap!" Lily shouted. She chased after Ben. She was very mad. She wanted her cap back.
+
+But Ben was faster than Lily. He ran and ran until he reached the fence. He climbed over the fence and ran into the street. He did not see the big car coming.
+
+The car honked and braked. Ben was scared. He dropped the cap and tried to run back. But it was too late. The car hit him and he fell down.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She stopped and gasped. She felt sorry for Ben. She forgot about her cap. She ran to Ben and saw that he was hurt. He was bleeding and crying. He looked helpless.
+
+"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She held his hand. She felt tears in her eyes.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry," Ben said. "I was wrong. I should not have taken your cap. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She forgave him. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben, it's okay. I'm sorry too. I should have shared my cap with you. You are my friend."
+
+They heard sirens and saw lights. The people in the car called for help. They came out and checked on Ben. They said they were sorry too. They said they would take Ben to the hospital. They said he would be fine.
+
+Lily gave Ben her cap. She said, "Here, Ben, you can have my cap. It will keep you warm and cozy. I hope you get better soon."
+
+Ben smiled and thanked Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily, you are very kind. You are the best friend ever."
+
+They hugged again and said goodbye. Lily watched as Ben was taken away. She hoped he would be okay. She learned a lesson. She learned to share and to understand. She learned to be a good friend.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big fire in the sky. It was very bright and loud.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom said, "I don't know. Maybe it is a dragon. I believe in dragons. They are big and strong and can fly and breathe fire."
+
+Lily said, "I don't believe in dragons. They are not real. They are only in stories and pictures. I think it is a plane. Planes are real. They can fly and make noise."
+
+Tom said, "No, it is a dragon. I can see its wings and tail and teeth. It is coming closer. It is angry. It wants to eat us."
+
+Lily said, "No, it is a plane. I can see its wings and tail and windows. It is coming closer. It is landing. It wants to take us somewhere."
+
+They argued and did not listen to each other. They did not see the smoke and the ash that came from the fire in the sky. They did not smell the burning and the heat that came from the fire in the sky. They did not hear the people and the sirens that ran away from the fire in the sky.
+
+The fire in the sky was not a dragon or a plane. It was a rocket. It had a problem and it crashed. It made a big explosion and a big hole in the ground. It hurt many people and things.
+
+Tom and Lily were too slow to run away. They were too close to the fire in the sky. They were too busy to look and listen and smell. They did not see the fire that came to them. They did not feel the pain that came to them. They did not know what happened to them.
+
+They were gone.
+Ben likes to play with his neighbor, Mia. Mia is very intelligent. She knows many things and can do many puzzles. Ben wants to be like Mia, so he listens to her and learns from her.
+
+One day, Mia has a new game. She says it is called "pay". She says that Ben can have some of her toys if he gives her some of his toys. Ben thinks this is a good idea. He likes Mia's toys. They are shiny and colorful and make noises.
+
+Ben gives Mia his teddy bear, his ball, and his car. Mia gives Ben her doll, her book, and her drum. Ben is happy. He plays with his new toys and makes a lot of noise. Mia is happy too. She hugs Ben's teddy bear, bounces his ball, and drives his car.
+
+But then, Ben's mom comes to get him. She says it is time to go home. Ben says goodbye to Mia and tries to take his new toys with him. But Mia says no. She says that Ben has to give them back. She says that they are her toys and that he only borrowed them. She says that is what "pay" means.
+
+Ben is confused and sad. He does not want to give back his new toys. He likes them more than his old toys. He thinks Mia is not fair. He thinks she tricked him. He starts to cry and says that Mia is not his friend.
+
+Mia is surprised and sorry. She did not mean to make Ben cry. She did not know that he did not understand what "pay" means. She thought it was a fun game. She says she is sorry and that she is still his friend. She says that they can share their toys and play together.
+
+Ben's mom sees that they are both sorry and that they want to be friends. She says that they can keep their new toys for today, but they have to give them back tomorrow. She says that they have to ask before they take or give anything. She says that is what "pay" really means.
+
+Ben and Mia agree. They say thank you and hug each other. They are happy again. They play with their toys and learn from each other. They are good neighbors and intelligent friends.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the backyard after dinner. They liked to pretend they were explorers and look for bugs and plants. They had a flashlight to help them see in the dark.
+
+"Look, I found a big spider!" Ben said, shining the flashlight on a hairy creature. "It's so scary and gross!"
+
+Mia was not afraid of spiders. She knew they were harmless and good for the garden. She wanted to show Ben that he didn't need to be scared.
+
+"Don't be silly, Ben. It's just a spider. It won't hurt you. Watch this!" Mia said, and reached out to touch the spider gently.
+
+But as soon as she touched it, the spider jumped on her hand and ran up her arm. Mia screamed and shook her arm, trying to get the spider off. Ben laughed and pointed at her.
+
+"Haha, Mia, you're so funny! You're scared of a harmless spider! You're so embarrassed!" Ben said, still holding the flashlight.
+
+Mia felt angry and sad. She didn't like Ben laughing at her. She didn't think it was funny. She grabbed the flashlight from Ben and turned it off.
+
+"Hey, give that back! I can't see anything!" Ben said, feeling scared in the dark.
+
+Mia ignored him and ran inside the house. She told her mom what happened and asked for a hug. Her mom hugged her and said,
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. Ben was not nice to you. He shouldn't have laughed at you. He should have helped you. Maybe he was embarrassed too, because he was scared of the spider. Sometimes people laugh when they are scared or embarrassed. But that's not a good way to deal with their feelings. They should be honest and kind. Do you want to talk to Ben and tell him how you feel?"
+
+Mia nodded. She wanted to be friends with Ben again, but she also wanted him to understand her. She took the flashlight and went back to the backyard. She found Ben sitting on the grass, looking sad.
+
+"Hi, Ben. I'm sorry I took the flashlight. Here, you can have it back." Mia said, handing him the flashlight.
+
+"Thanks, Mia. I'm sorry I laughed at you. That was mean. I was scared of the spider too. I didn't mean to make you feel bad." Ben said, looking at Mia.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. I was scared too. But you know, spiders are harmless. They don't want to hurt us. They just want to live in the garden. Maybe we can learn more about them and see how cool they are." Mia said, smiling.
+
+"Really? Do you think so? Maybe you're right. Maybe we can be friends with the spiders. And with each other." Ben said, smiling back.
+
+They hugged and decided to play something else. They learned that being scared or embarrassed is normal, but laughing at someone else is not. They learned to be kind and honest with their feelings. They learned to be brave and curious. And they learned to have fun.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and pretend they are grown-ups. One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They decide to make it into a car.
+
+"Look, Anna, this is our car!" Ben says. He draws four wheels and a door on the box with a marker. "We can go anywhere we want!"
+
+"Wow, Ben, it's a nice car!" Anna says. She draws a window and a flower on the box. "But we need a license to drive, right?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers seeing his dad's license in his wallet. It has his dad's name and picture on it. He runs to the house and gets the wallet. He takes out the license and shows it to Anna.
+
+"Here, Anna, this is our license!" Ben says. He puts the license in the front of the box. "Now we can drive!"
+
+Anna smiles. She gets in the box with Ben. They hold their hands like they are steering. They make vroom-vroom noises with their mouths.
+
+"Where do you want to go, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+"I want to go to the candy store!" Ben says. "We can buy all the candy we want!"
+
+"I want to go to the park!" Anna says. "We can play on the swings and the slide!"
+
+They take turns saying where they want to go. They imagine they are driving to different places. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Soon, they get tired. They lie down in the box and close their eyes. They dream of being rich and having a real car. They dream of driving to the candy store and the park. They dream of having more adventures together. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. It was a hot day, so they were thirsty and sweaty.
+
+"Let's go get some water," Lily said. "There is a fountain over there."
+
+"OK," Tom said. They left their ball on the grass and ran to the fountain. They drank some water and felt better.
+
+But when they came back to the grass, they saw a big dog. The dog had their ball in its mouth. It was chewing and biting the ball. The ball was making a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom shouted. He ran towards the dog. He wanted to get the ball back.
+
+But the dog did not like that. The dog growled and barked at Tom. It showed its teeth. It looked angry and scary.
+
+Lily saw Tom and the dog. She felt panic. She was afraid that the dog would hurt Tom. She did not know what to do.
+
+"Tom, come back!" she cried. "The dog is bad! Leave the ball!"
+
+But Tom did not hear her. He was too close to the dog. He reached out his hand to grab the ball.
+
+The dog snapped at Tom's hand. It bit his finger. Tom screamed. He felt pain. He pulled his hand back. He saw blood on his finger.
+
+Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him. She tried to make him feel better.
+
+"Are you OK?" she asked. "Does it hurt a lot?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was crying. He was scared. He wanted to go home.
+
+Lily saw a man coming. The man had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner. He had left the dog open. He was not watching the dog.
+
+"Hey, what happened?" the man asked. He saw Tom's finger. He saw the ball. He looked sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," he said. "My dog is not good with balls. He thinks they are toys. He did not mean to hurt you. Let me see your finger."
+
+The man took Tom's finger. He wrapped it with a cloth. He said he would take them to a doctor. He said he would buy them a new ball.
+
+Lily and Tom did not say anything. They were still upset. They did not like the dog. They did not like the man. They wanted to go home. They wanted to play with their ball. But their ball was gone. The dog had broken it. It was a bad day.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big, soft pillow. They liked to grab the pillow and throw it at each other, or hug it and pretend it was a bear.
+
+One day, their mom told them she had a surprise for them. She said they had to wait in their room until she called them. Anna and Ben were anxious. They wondered what the surprise was. Maybe it was a new toy, or a cake, or a puppy.
+
+They decided to play with the pillow while they waited. They grabbed the pillow and tossed it back and forth. They laughed and giggled. But then, the pillow flew too high and hit the lamp on the table. The lamp fell and broke with a loud crash.
+
+Anna and Ben gasped. They knew they were in trouble. They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They quickly hid the pillow and the broken lamp under the bed. They hoped their mom would not see them.
+
+Their mom opened the door and smiled. She had a big box in her hands. She said, "I have a surprise for you, my loves. Look what I got you!"
+
+She opened the box and lifted out a new, bigger, fluffier pillow. She said, "I know how much you love your pillow, so I got you a new one. You can share it or take turns. It's very cozy and warm."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt guilty and happy at the same time. They thanked their mom and hugged her. They took the new pillow and put it on their bed. They whispered to each other, "We have to tell mom the truth later. We have to say sorry for breaking the lamp."
+
+They agreed. They knew their mom would be mad, but also forgive them. They decided to enjoy the new pillow for now. They grabbed it and cuddled with it. They felt less anxious and more sleepy. They closed their eyes and dreamed of happy things.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But their favorite thing is the door handle. The door handle is shiny and round. It can make the door open and close.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily decide to play a game. They take turns to hide behind the door and whisper to each other. They whisper funny things, like "Boo!" or "I see you!" or "You are a frog!" They giggle and laugh.
+
+But their mom does not like their game. She is in the kitchen. She is making a healthy soup for lunch. She hears the door open and close. She hears the whispers and giggles. She thinks Ben and Lily are up to something. She goes to their room.
+
+She opens the door and sees Ben and Lily behind it. They look at her with big eyes. They stop whispering and giggling. They think they are in trouble.
+
+But their mom smiles. She says, "What are you doing, my little ones?" Ben and Lily say, "We are playing with the door handle. It is fun!" Their mom says, "I see. But you know, the door handle is not a toy. It can break or hurt you. And you should not whisper too much. It can make your throat sore. Why don't you play with your toys or books instead? They are more fun and safe."
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We are sorry. We will play with our toys and books." Their mom says, "That's good. And you know what? I have a surprise for you. I made a healthy soup for lunch. It has carrots and potatoes and chicken. It is yummy and warm. Do you want some?" Ben and Lily say, "Yes, mom. We love soup. Thank you!" They hug their mom and follow her to the kitchen. They leave the door handle alone. They are happy and hungry.
+Lily liked to play basketball with her big brother Sam. Sam was very good at basketball. He could throw the ball very high and make it go in the hoop. Lily wanted to be like Sam, but she was too small. Her ball was too big and heavy for her hands. Her shoes were too tight and hurt her feet.
+
+One day, Sam gave Lily a new ball. It was smaller and lighter than her old ball. He also gave her new shoes. They were not tight and they had stars on them. Lily was very happy. She thanked Sam and hugged him.
+
+Lily and Sam went to the park to play basketball. Lily tried to throw the ball like Sam, but she missed the hoop. She tried again and again, but she could not make it. She felt sad and angry. She threw the ball on the ground and cried.
+
+Sam came to Lily and hugged her. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. You are doing great. You just need to practice more. You can't change your size, but you can change your skills. You have a new ball and new shoes that fit you. You have to use them well and have fun. That's how you learn and grow."
+
+Lily looked at Sam and nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. She picked up the ball and said, "You are right, Sam. I will try again. Will you help me?" Sam said, "Of course, Lily. I will always help you. You are my sister and I love you." They high-fived and played basketball together.
+
+The moral value of the story is: You can't change what you are, but you can change what you do. You should use what you have and practice hard. You should also be grateful and kind to those who help you.
+Sara and Tom liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big book on a bench. It had many pages and words. They were curious.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a story book," Tom said.
+
+They opened the book and looked inside. They saw many words they did not know. They tried to read them, but they were too hard.
+
+"Look, this word is very long. It has many letters. What does it mean?" Sara pointed to a word.
+
+Tom looked at the word. He tried to say it, but he could not. He shook his head.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a magic word. Maybe it can do something," he said.
+
+They decided to try the word. They said it together, very loud.
+
+"Dictionary!"
+
+Suddenly, the book glowed. It made a sound. It opened by itself. It showed them a picture. It was a picture of the park. They saw themselves on the bench. They saw the book. They saw a sign. The sign said: "Dictionary: a book that tells you what words mean."
+
+They were amazed. They looked at each other. They smiled.
+
+"Wow, this is a brilliant book. It can show us things. It can teach us words. It is a dictionary," Sara said.
+
+"Yes, it is. It is a very clever book. It is a very fun book. It is a dictionary," Tom said.
+
+They hugged the book. They thanked the book. They decided to keep the book. They took it home. They learned many new words. They loved the dictionary.
+One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers in the grass.
+
+Near the park, there was a forest with many trees. Tom and Anna wanted to explore the forest, but their mom said no. She said it was not safe and they could get lost. But Tom and Anna did not listen. They waited until their mom was talking to another mom, and then they ran into the forest.
+
+They saw many things in the forest. They saw birds, squirrels, mushrooms and pine cones. They also saw a large log that looked like a bridge. They wanted to cross the log and see what was on the other side. They climbed on the log and started to walk.
+
+But the log was not a bridge. It was a snake! A very large and angry snake! The snake felt Tom and Anna on its back and woke up. It hissed and coiled and opened its mouth. It wanted to bite Tom and Anna!
+
+Tom and Anna were very scared. They screamed and jumped off the log. They ran back to the park as fast as they could. They did not stop until they found their mom. They hugged her and told her what happened. They said they were sorry for not listening to her.
+
+Their mom was glad they were safe. She was also very mad. She said they were naughty and they had to go home. She said they could not go to the park for a week. Tom and Anna felt bad. They learned their lesson. They never went into the forest again.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She looked behind the trees, under the slide, and in the sandbox, but she could not find him.
+
+She heard a loud roar from behind a bush. She was scared. She thought it was a big animal that wanted to eat her. She ran away as fast as she could. She screamed for help.
+
+But it was not a big animal. It was Tom. He had found a mask of a lion and put it on. He wanted to scare Lily as a joke. He did not know that Lily was so scared. He came out of the bush and took off the mask. He saw Lily running away and crying.
+
+He felt bad. He ran after her and called her name. He caught up with her and hugged her. He said he was sorry. He said it was only a mask. He said he did not want to hurt her. He said he was her friend.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She looked at Tom and the mask. She saw that it was not a real lion. She saw that Tom was sorry. She took a deep breath with her lung. She calmed down. She forgave Tom. She said it was okay. She said she was his friend too.
+
+They hugged again and smiled. They decided to play a different game. They did not want to scare each other anymore. They wanted to have fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They could bounce it, roll it, kick it, and catch it. They had a lot of fun with the ball.
+
+One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She told them to close their eyes and wait in the living room. Lily and Ben were very curious and excited. They wondered what the surprise could be. Maybe a new toy? Maybe a cake? Maybe a puppy?
+
+They heard their mom come back with something heavy. She said, "OK, you can open your eyes now!" Lily and Ben opened their eyes and saw a big box with a bow on it. They ran to the box and tore off the paper. Inside, they found a big blue ball. It looked like their red ball, but bigger and softer.
+
+"Wow, thank you, mom!" they said. "What is this?"
+
+"This is a yoga ball," their mom said. "It is a special ball that you can use to exercise and stretch. It is very flexible. You can sit on it, lie on it, or bounce on it. It is good for your muscles and your balance. Do you want to try it?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said. They took the ball out of the box and put it on the floor. They took turns sitting on it and bouncing up and down. They laughed and giggled as they felt the ball move under them. They tried to lie on it and roll on it, but they fell off and landed on the couch. They thought it was very funny.
+
+They played with the ball for a long time, until they got tired and hungry. They left the ball in the living room and went to the kitchen to have some snacks. They thanked their mom again for the surprise. They said they loved the ball and they wanted to play with it more.
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. But don't forget about your red ball. It is still your friend. You can play with both balls and have even more fun."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They said they would never forget their red ball. They said they would share both balls and play nicely. They hugged their mom and ate their snacks. They were very happy.
+Lily was a stubborn girl. She did not like to do what her mom and dad told her. She always had a question for everything. Why do I have to eat this? Why do I have to wear this? Why do I have to go to bed?
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily saw a big slide. She wanted to go on it. But her mom said no. The slide was too high and too fast for Lily. Lily did not listen. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder.
+
+Her mom called her name. She asked her to come down. But Lily did not answer. She was at the top of the slide. She looked down. The slide seemed very long and very steep. Lily felt scared. She wished she had listened to her mom.
+
+She did not know what to do. She did not want to go down the slide. But she did not want to go back down the ladder. She was stuck. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry. She ran to the slide. She saw Lily at the top. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here to help you. You can do it. Just slide down slowly and I'll catch you."
+
+Lily looked at her mom. She saw her kind face and her open arms. She felt sorry for being stubborn. She nodded her head. She took a deep breath. She slid down the slide. Her mom caught her and hugged her.
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, mom. I should have listened to you. The slide was too scary for me."
+
+Her mom said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're safe. I love you. Next time, please trust me. I know what's best for you."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, mom. And I will trust you. Can we go on the swings now?"
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, we can. But first, let me wipe your tears and give you a kiss."
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that could make noises and move by itself. It was a luxury toy that their dad gave them for their birthday.
+
+One day, they were playing with the car in the living room, when Lily bumped it into the sofa. The car made a loud crack and stopped moving. Sam and Lily were sad and scared. They tried to push the buttons and shake the car, but it did not work.
+
+They decided to take the car to their dad, who was good at fixing things. They hoped he could repair the car and make it work again. They ran to his room and knocked on the door.
+
+"Dad, dad, please help us!" they cried. "Our car is broken!"
+
+Their dad opened the door and looked at the car. He frowned and shook his head.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, but this car is beyond repair. It's too damaged and old. You can't play with it anymore. You have to throw it away."
+
+Sam and Lily gasped and started to cry. They did not want to lose their luxury toy. They begged their dad to try to fix it, but he said no.
+
+"It's just a toy, kids. It's not important. You have many other toys to play with. Now go to your room and stop making noise. I have work to do."
+
+He took the car from their hands and threw it in the trash. He closed the door and left them alone.
+
+Sam and Lily felt very sad and angry. They did not understand why their dad was so mean and did not care about their car. They felt like he did not care about them either. They wished they had a different dad who would love them and their toys. They hugged each other and cried. They had no one to help them. They had no car to play with. They had no fun. They had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. But today was Sunday and it was very cold. The wind was persistent and made them shiver.
+
+"Can we go inside, please?" Lily asked Ben. "I don't like the cold."
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, we have to find the snowman. He is our friend. He will be lonely without us."
+
+Lily followed Ben as he looked for the snowman. They had made him yesterday with their dad. He had a carrot nose, a scarf and a hat. But now they could not see him. The snow was too deep.
+
+"Where is he, Ben?" Lily said. "Maybe he melted. Maybe he went away."
+
+Ben frowned. "No, he is here somewhere. We have to keep looking. He needs us."
+
+They walked and walked, but they could not find the snowman. They only saw white snow and gray sky. They felt very cold and very sad.
+
+"Ben, please, let's go back. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm cold." Lily said.
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was crying. He felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said, "OK, Lily, let's go back. Maybe the snowman will come back tomorrow. Maybe he is hiding. Maybe he is playing with other snowmen."
+
+They turned around and walked back to their house. They saw their mom waiting for them at the door. She smiled and said, "Come in, my darlings. You must be freezing. I have hot chocolate and cookies for you."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to their mom and hugged her. They felt warm and happy. They forgot about the snowman for a while. They hoped he was OK. They hoped he would come back. They hoped he would be their friend again.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his ball. He had a big ball that was red and blue and bounced very high. He played with his ball every day in his yard, but he wanted to play in the park too.
+
+One day, he asked his mom if he could go to the park with his ball. His mom said, "No, Tom, you are too little to go to the park by yourself. You have to wait until I can go with you."
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He did not want to wait. He wanted to go to the park now. He thought his mom was not fair. He decided to sneak out of the house with his ball when his mom was not looking.
+
+He ran to the park with his ball and felt very happy. He saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. He saw other kids playing with their toys. He wanted to play with them too. He bounced his ball and said, "Hi, can I play with you?"
+
+But the other kids did not want to play with him. They said, "No, you are too little to play with us. You have to go back to your mom. And you have to give us your ball. It is ours now."
+
+Tom was scared and sad. He did not want to lose his ball. He said, "No, this is my ball. I brought it from my house. It is not yours."
+
+But the other kids did not listen. They grabbed his ball and ran away. They laughed and said, "Ha ha, we have your ball. You are a baby. Go cry to your mom."
+
+Tom felt very bad. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had been honest and not sneaked out. He realized his mom was right. He was too little to go to the park by himself. He needed his mom to protect him and his ball.
+
+He ran back to his house and looked for his mom. He saw her in the kitchen. She looked worried and angry. She said, "Tom, where have you been? I have been looking for you. Why did you leave the house without telling me? Why did you take your ball?"
+
+Tom felt very sorry. He hugged his mom and said, "Mom, I am sorry. I wanted to go to the park with my ball. But I did not ask you. I did not listen to you. I was not honest. And I lost my ball. The other kids took it. They were mean to me. I was scared and sad. I want my ball back. I want you to go with me."
+
+His mom hugged him back and said, "Tom, I am glad you are back. I was very worried about you. You did a bad thing. You did not obey me. You did not tell me the truth. You put yourself in danger. And you lost your ball. You have to learn to be honest and to listen to me. I know what is best for you. I love you and I want you to be safe and happy. But I am also proud of you. You came back and you told me what happened. You admitted your mistake. You said you were sorry. You are a good boy. You are my boy. I forgive you. And I will help you get your ball back. But you have to promise me to never do that again. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I promise. I am sorry. I love you. You are my mom. You are the best mom. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for helping me. Can we go to the park now?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, we can go to the park now. But only if you hold my hand and stay with me. And only if you ask me first. And only if you are honest and polite with the other kids. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I will hold your hand and stay with you. I will ask you first. I will be honest and polite. I will be a good boy. I will have fun with you and my ball."
+
+His mom kissed him and said, "That's my boy. Let's go to the park. And let's be happy."
+
+The end.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big teddy bear. She called him Mr. Bear and hugged him every night. She wanted to gain more toys, so she asked her mom and dad for them.
+
+One day, her mom and dad told her they had a surprise for her. They took her to a big store with many toys. Lily was very happy and ran to see them all. She saw dolls, cars, blocks, puzzles, and more. She wanted them all, but her mom and dad said she could only choose one.
+
+Lily looked around and saw a shiny red bike. She liked the bike very much and thought it would be fun to ride. She pointed to the bike and said, "I want this one, please!"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Okay, Lily, you can have the bike. But you have to give something in return. You have to give Mr. Bear to another child who doesn't have any toys."
+
+Lily felt a shock in her heart. She loved Mr. Bear and didn't want to give him away. She looked at the bike and then at Mr. Bear. She thought about how Mr. Bear had been with her for a long time, how he had comforted her when she was sad, and how he had listened to her stories. She thought about how another child might not love him as much as she did. She thought about how the bike was new and shiny, but it might get old and rusty.
+
+She shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I don't want the bike. I want to keep Mr. Bear. He is my best friend."
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "We are proud of you, Lily. You made a good choice. You don't need to gain more toys to be happy. You already have the best toy of all."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Mr. Bear. She was happy and didn't want anything else. She learned that sometimes less is more, and that old friends are better than new things.
+Sara liked to watch the birds in the garden. She saw red birds, blue birds, and yellow birds. They sang and flew and ate seeds. Sara wanted to be friends with the birds. She took some bread from the kitchen and went outside.
+
+She saw a big black bird on the fence. It had a shiny eye and a sharp beak. Sara thought it looked scary. She threw a piece of bread to the black bird and said, "Hello, bird. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The black bird did not want to play. It did not like the bread. It made a loud noise and flew at Sara. It tried to peck her hair and her face. Sara was scared and ran away. She cried, "Help, help! The bird is mean!"
+
+Tom, Sara's big brother, heard her cry. He came out of the house and saw the black bird. He knew it was a crow. He picked up a stick and waved it at the crow. He said, "Go away, crow! You are not nice. You disturb my sister. Leave her alone!"
+
+The crow did not like the stick. It flew away and did not come back. Tom hugged Sara and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I am here. The crow is gone. You are safe." Sara stopped crying and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are helpful. You are a good brother." Tom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good sister. Do you want to see the nice birds?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. I like the nice birds." Tom took her hand and they went to the garden. They saw the red birds, the blue birds, and the yellow birds. They sang and flew and ate seeds. Sara and Tom watched them and were happy.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, Lily got a new toy. It was a big saw. It could make noise and cut paper. Lily was happy with her saw. She smiled a lot.
+
+Tom saw Lily's saw. He wanted to play with it too. He asked Lily, "Can I have a turn?" Lily said, "No, it is mine. You have your own toys." Tom was jealous. He did not smile. He was angry.
+
+Tom waited for Lily to look away. Then he grabbed her saw and ran away. Lily saw Tom. She shouted, "Hey, that is not fair! Give it back!" She chased Tom. Tom ran faster. He did not want to share.
+
+Lily and Tom ran around the room. They bumped into things and made a mess. They did not see their teacher. She came in and saw them. She was not happy. She said, "Stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped. They looked at their teacher. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, teacher. We were fighting over the saw." The teacher said, "Fighting is not nice. Sharing is nice. You should share your toys and be kind to each other."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "You are right, teacher. We are sorry." They gave each other a hug. They decided to share the saw and play together. They smiled again. They were friends.
+Lily and Max are playing with their toys on the carpet. They like to make sounds and stories with their cars and dolls. Lily has a pink car and Max has a blue car. They are having fun.
+
+But then, their big sister Zoe comes in. Zoe is nosy. She always wants to see what they are doing and touch their things. She says, "What are you playing with? Can I see your car, Lily? It looks pretty."
+
+Lily does not want to share her car. She likes her car. She says, "No, Zoe, this is my car. Go away!" She hugs her car and tries to protect it from Zoe.
+
+Zoe is not happy. She says, "That's not fair, Lily. You have to share. Give me your car or I will tell Mom." She reaches for the car and tries to pull it from Lily.
+
+Max sees that Lily is sad and scared. He wants to help her. He says, "Stop, Zoe, leave Lily alone. She can play with her car. You have your own toys." He stands in front of Lily and protects her and her car from Zoe.
+
+Zoe is angry. She says, "You are mean, Max. You are not my brother. I will tell Mom on you too." She stomps out of the room and slams the door.
+
+Lily and Max are glad that Zoe is gone. They say, "Thank you, Max. You are a good brother. You are brave and kind." They hug each other and their cars. They continue to play on the carpet. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom gives them a big bowl of grapes. She says, "Can you wash and polish the grapes for me? They will be very yummy and clean."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They take the grapes to the sink. They turn on the water and splash the grapes. They rub the grapes with their hands. They make the grapes shiny and smooth.
+
+"Look, Mom, we polished the grapes!" Lily says, holding up a grape.
+
+"Good job, sweeties!" Mom says, taking the grape. "Can I have a bite?"
+
+She bites the grape and makes a funny face. "Oh, no! This grape is sour!"
+
+Lily and Ben giggle. They taste the grapes too. They are sour!
+
+"Mom, these grapes are not yummy!" Ben says, making a face.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves. I think I bought the wrong grapes. These are not for eating. These are for making juice." Mom says, hugging them.
+
+"It's okay, Mom. We can make juice with them. We like juice!" Lily says, hugging her back.
+
+"Yes, we can. And you know what? You did a great job washing and polishing the grapes. They are very clean and pretty. Thank you for helping me." Mom says, kissing them.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They are happy to help Mom. They don't mind the sour grapes. They like to make juice. They like to polish things. They like to be clean. They love Mom.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They lived near a big field of corn that was green and tall. One day, they saw some yellow flowers in the field. They ran to look at them.
+
+"Wow, look at these flowers!" Lily said. "They are so pretty and bright!"
+
+"They are not flowers, they are corn!" Ben said. "My dad told me. They grow on the corn plants and make food."
+
+"Really? How do they make food?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben shrugged. "I don't know. But my dad said we can pick some when they are ready. He said they are sweet and yummy."
+
+Lily and Ben touched the corn gently. They felt warm and soft. They smelled good too. They wondered how they would taste.
+
+"Can we pick one now?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, we have to wait," Ben said. "They are not ready yet. They have to bloom more."
+
+"Bloom? What does that mean?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He remembered what his dad had told him. "It means they have to grow bigger and more yellow. Then they are ripe and we can eat them."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She liked to watch things grow and bloom. She liked flowers and fruits and vegetables. She liked corn too.
+
+"OK, let's wait," she said. "But can we come back and see them again?"
+
+"Sure, we can come back every day," Ben said. "And when they are ready, we can have a corn party!"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the idea of a corn party. They hugged the corn and said goodbye. They ran back to their houses, happy and excited. They could not wait to see the corn bloom.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill with a hole. It is a cave.
+
+"Let's go inside the cave!" Tom says. He runs to the hole.
+
+"Wait for me!" Mia says. She follows Tom. She is a little scared.
+
+They go inside the cave. It is dark and cold. They see some rocks and some bats. They hear some noises.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asks. She holds Tom's hand.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a bear or a monster." Tom says. He is also scared.
+
+They see a light at the end of the cave. It is a small window. They run to the window. They look outside. They see the park and the sun.
+
+"Look, we are safe!" Tom says. He smiles.
+
+"Let's go back to the park!" Mia says. She smiles too.
+
+They go back to the park. They are happy. They play with their ball and their bike. They do not go to the cave again.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They also have a long line of blocks that they use as a road.
+
+One day, Sam and Mia decide to polish their cars. They find some cloths and some water. They rub their cars with the cloths and make them shiny. They are very proud of their cars.
+
+"Look, Mia, my red car is so bright!" Sam says.
+
+"Wow, Sam, your car is very pretty. My blue car is also shiny. Let's race them on the road!" Mia says.
+
+They put their cars on the line of blocks and push them. They make vroom-vroom sounds as their cars zoom along the road. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their baby brother, Leo. He is crawling towards their road. He reaches the line of blocks and knocks them over. He grabs one of the cars and puts it in his mouth.
+
+"Hey, Leo, no!" Sam shouts. He runs to Leo and tries to take his car back.
+
+"Mine, mine!" Leo says. He holds the car tight and bites it.
+
+"Stop, Leo, you are ruining our road and our cars!" Mia cries. She runs to Leo and tries to pull his car away.
+
+Leo does not like that. He starts to cry and scream. He throws the car on the floor and hits Sam and Mia.
+
+Sam and Mia are very angry and sad. They look at their road and their cars. They are all messed up. They start to cry and scream too.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sam, Mia and Leo crying and screaming. She sees the road and the cars on the floor. She is not happy.
+
+"Sam, Mia, Leo, what is going on here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Leo ruined our road and our cars!" Sam and Mia say.
+
+"Leo wanted to play with the cars!" Leo says.
+
+Mom picks up Leo and hugs him. She calms him down. She says, "Leo, I know you wanted to play with the cars, but you have to ask Sam and Mia first. You cannot take their things without permission. You cannot bite or throw or hit. That is not nice. You have to say sorry to Sam and Mia."
+
+Leo looks at Sam and Mia. He says, "Sorry, Sam. Sorry, Mia."
+
+Mom says, "Sam and Mia, I know you are upset, but you have to forgive Leo. He is your brother and he is still learning. You can share your cars with him and teach him how to play nicely. You can also help me fix your road and polish your cars again."
+
+Sam and Mia look at Leo. They say, "It's okay, Leo. We forgive you. You can play with us and our cars. But you have to be gentle and careful. We will show you how."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's very good, Sam and Mia. You are very kind and patient. I am proud of you. Come on, let's clean up and have some fun."
+
+They all hug and say, "We love you, Mom."
+
+They pick up the blocks and the cars. They make a new road and polish their cars again. They play together and have a calm and happy time.
+Tim and Tom were brothers who liked to play in the park. They saw a squirrel on a tree and wanted to catch it. Tim had a net and Tom had a stick. They ran after the squirrel and tried to trap it.
+
+The squirrel was scared and ran away. It jumped from one tree to another, but Tim and Tom followed it. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to leave the squirrel alone. They did not care about the squirrel's feelings. They only wanted to have fun.
+
+The squirrel reached the end of the branch and had nowhere to go. Tim threw his net over the squirrel and Tom hit it with his stick. The squirrel cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Tim and Tom cheered and ran to get their prize.
+
+But when they reached the squirrel, they saw that it was not moving. It was bleeding and had broken bones. It was dead. Tim and Tom felt a cold shiver in their hearts. They had killed the squirrel. They had done a bad thing.
+
+Their mom came and saw what they had done. She was angry and sad. She scolded them and took them home. She told them that they had to learn to respect and support all living things, not hurt and kill them. She told them that they had made the squirrel miserable and themselves miserable too. She told them that they had to say sorry to the squirrel and to God. She told them that they had to do better next time.
+
+Tim and Tom cried and felt sorry. They wished they had not chased the squirrel. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had been kind and gentle. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that their actions have consequences. They learned that fun is not worth the pain of others. They learned that they have to support life, not destroy it.
+Ben and Mia like to play with their bikes. They have helmets to keep their heads safe. Ben has a blue helmet and Mia has a pink helmet. They always attach their helmets before they ride.
+
+One day, they find a big hill near their house. They want to go down the hill very fast. Ben says, "This will be fun!" Mia says, "Yes, let's go!" They attach their helmets and get on their bikes.
+
+They start to pedal down the hill. They feel the wind in their faces. They laugh and shout. But then, they see a big rock on the road. They try to avoid it, but they can't. They hit the rock and fall off their bikes.
+
+Ben and Mia are hurt. They have cuts and bruises on their arms and legs. They cry and call for help. Their helmets are broken. They did not keep their heads safe. They have bumps on their heads. They feel dizzy and sick.
+
+Their mom and dad hear them and run to them. They are scared and angry. They say, "Why did you go down the hill? That was very dangerous! You could have been hurt worse! You were not careful! You broke your helmets! You need to go to the doctor!"
+
+Ben and Mia are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We just wanted to have fun. We did not see the rock. We did not mean to break our helmets. We did not mean to get hurt."
+
+But mom and dad are still mad. They say, "You have to learn to be more responsible. You have to listen to us. You have to take care of your things. You have to be safe. You are grounded. No more bikes for a week!"
+
+Ben and Mia are sad. They have no fun. They have no bikes. They have no helmets. They have a bad ending.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They liked to pretend they were brave warriors who fought bad animals with their spears. One day, they found a big cave in the woods. They decided to explore it with their spears.
+
+Inside the cave, they saw a shiny rock that looked like a diamond. Lily wanted to take it home, but Tom said it was too heavy. He said they should leave it there and come back later. Lily agreed, but she secretly wanted the shiny rock for herself.
+
+The next day, Lily went back to the cave alone. She tried to lift the shiny rock, but it was stuck. She pulled and pulled, but it did not move. She heard a loud roar behind her. She turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It wanted to eat Lily.
+
+Lily was scared. She grabbed her spear and threw it at the bear. The spear hit the bear in the eye. The bear howled and ran away. Lily was happy and proud. She had saved herself from the bear.
+
+Tom saw Lily coming out of the cave. He was worried and angry. He asked her why she went to the cave alone. He said it was dangerous and silly. Lily said she was sorry and told him what happened. She showed him her spear with the bear's blood on it. Tom was amazed and impressed. He said Lily was very brave and attractive. He said he wanted to marry her when they grew up. Lily smiled and said yes. They hugged and kissed. They took the shiny rock together and went home. They lived happily ever after.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Angel. Angel had a white dress, yellow hair and wings. Lily thought Angel was very pretty and kind.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to teach Angel how to fly. She took Angel to the garden and held her high in the air. She said, "Angel, you have wings, so you can fly. You just need to flap them hard and fast. Like this." Lily moved her arms up and down like a bird.
+
+But Angel did not fly. She just hung in Lily's hand. Lily tried again and again, but Angel did not move her wings. Lily felt sad and confused. She asked, "Angel, why don't you fly? Don't you want to fly?"
+
+Angel did not answer. She was just a doll. She could not talk or fly. She could only smile and look at Lily with her blue eyes.
+
+Lily did not know that. She thought Angel was real. She thought Angel was her friend. She hugged Angel and said, "It's okay, Angel. I still love you. Maybe you are too large to fly. Maybe you need a smaller dress and wings. Maybe we can find them in the house. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily took Angel to the house and looked for a smaller dress and wings. She did not find them, but she found a scarf and a paper clip. She wrapped the scarf around Angel's dress and bent the paper clip into a circle. She said, "Look, Angel, now you have a new dress and a halo. You look like a real angel. Maybe now you can fly."
+
+Lily ran back to the garden and threw Angel in the air. She hoped Angel would fly. But Angel did not fly. She fell to the ground and landed on a flower. Lily ran to pick her up. She saw that Angel's dress was torn and her halo was broken. She felt sorry and angry. She said, "Angel, why don't you fly? Why do you break your dress and halo? Why do you make me sad?"
+
+Angel did not answer. She was just a doll. She could not fly or break. She could only smile and look at Lily with her blue eyes.
+
+Lily did not know that. She thought Angel was real. She thought Angel was her friend. She cried and said, "Angel, please fly. Please don't be broken. Please make me happy."
+
+Angel did not fly. She did not heal. She did not speak. She was just a doll. But she was Lily's doll. And Lily loved her.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with colors. They have many brushes and papers. They are painters.
+
+One day, they want to have fun. They decide to race with their brushes. They say, "Who can paint the fastest? Who can make the most colors?"
+
+They start to paint. They use red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They paint fast and hard. They make circles, lines, dots, and shapes. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then, something happens. Their brushes become powerful. They make big splashes of color. They paint the walls, the floor, the ceiling, and the furniture. They paint Lily and Ben too. They are covered in colors.
+
+They stop painting. They look around. They are surprised. They say, "Wow! Look what we did! We are powerful painters!"
+
+They hear a noise. It is Lily's mom. She comes in. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "What did you do? You are in trouble!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They say, "Sorry, mom. We were racing with our brushes. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Lily's mom sighs. She says, "You need to clean up. And no more racing with your brushes. You can paint, but be careful."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say, "OK, mom. We will clean up. And we will be careful."
+
+They start to clean up. They use cloths and water. They wipe the colors. They are still painters, but not powerful ones. They are sorry, but they are still friends. They still like to play with colors.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a cabin made of sticks and leaves where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to make some soup with water, carrots, and salt.
+
+"I will stir the soup," said Lily, holding a big spoon. "You can chop the carrots."
+
+"But I want to stir the soup too," said Ben, reaching for the spoon. "You are always so bossy."
+
+"No, I am not," said Lily, pulling the spoon away. "You are always so lazy. You chop the carrots or no soup for you."
+
+They started to fight over the spoon, pulling and pushing each other. The soup pot tipped over and spilled on the ground. The water and carrots made a big mess.
+
+"Oh no," said Lily and Ben, looking at the soup. "We wasted our food. Now we have nothing to eat."
+
+They felt sad and sorry. They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry. I love you. Let's share the spoon next time."
+
+They cleaned up the mess and went back to their cabin. They found some crackers and jam in their backpack. They ate them and smiled. They were happy again.
+Lily liked to play dress up with her dolls. She had many clothes for them, in different colors and shapes. She liked to make them look pretty and fun. She also liked to watch her mom and dad get ready for work. They wore different clothes than her dolls, but they also looked nice.
+
+One day, she had an idea. She wanted to try something new with her dolls. She took their clothes and put them on the wrong way. She put skirts on their heads, shirts on their legs, and shoes on their hands. She called it reverse fashion. She thought it was very funny and clever.
+
+She showed her dolls to her mom and dad. "Look, mom, look, dad, this is reverse fashion!" she said proudly. "Do you like it?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and looked at her dolls. They saw how happy Lily was with her game. They also saw how creative she was. They decided to play along.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is very interesting and original!" her mom said. "You are a very good designer!"
+
+"Yes, Lily, that is very cool and fun!" her dad said. "You are a very smart girl!"
+
+Lily was very happy. She felt like her mom and dad liked her reverse fashion. She thought maybe it could be popular. She decided to show it to her friends too. She hoped they would like it as well. She thought reverse fashion was the best.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was the big red truck. It was shiny and strong and made loud noises. They both wanted to play with it all the time.
+
+One day, Tim found the big red truck in the toy box and decided to polish it with a cloth. He wanted to make it look even more shiny and strong. He rubbed the cloth on the truck and smiled. He was very proud of his work.
+
+Sam saw Tim polishing the big red truck and felt angry. He wanted to play with it too. He ran to Tim and grabbed the truck from his hands. He shouted, "That's mine! Give it back!"
+
+Tim was shocked and sad. He tried to get the truck back from Sam. He shouted, "No, it's mine! I polished it!"
+
+They started to fight over the big red truck. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not care about the other cars or the toy box or the cloth. They only cared about the big red truck.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tim and Sam fighting over the big red truck and felt disappointed. She said, "Stop it, boys! You are brothers, not enemies. You should share and take turns, not fight and be selfish. The big red truck is not yours or mine, it's ours. You can both play with it, but only if you are kind and gentle."
+
+She took the big red truck from their hands and put it on the shelf. She said, "You can have it back when you say sorry and hug each other. Until then, you can play with the other cars or find something else to do."
+
+Tim and Sam looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been silly and mean. They said sorry and hugged each other. They said, "We love you, brother. We love the big red truck, but we love you more."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. I love you, boys. You are mighty and brave, but you are also kind and gentle. Now you can have the big red truck back and play with it together. But remember to polish it with the cloth, not with your fists."
+Lila loved to read books. She liked to look at the pictures and say the words. She had many books at home, but she wanted to see more. She asked her mom to take her to the station.
+
+The station was a big place with many trains and people. Lila saw a sign that said "library". She knew that was where the books were. She pulled her mom's hand and said, "Mom, can we go to the library?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lila. Let's go to the library." They walked to the library and entered the door. Lila saw many shelves with many books. She felt happy and excited. She ran to the children's section and picked a book. She sat on a chair and opened the book.
+
+But then, a man came and shouted at her. He said, "Hey, you! You can't read here! This is not a reading room! This is a waiting room! Go away!" He had a harsh voice and a mean face. He scared Lila. She dropped the book and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Lila's cry and ran to her. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lila. Don't be afraid. That man was very rude. He doesn't know how to be nice. Let's go to another library, where we can read and have fun." She took Lila's hand and walked out of the station. Lila felt sad and angry. She didn't like the man. She liked the books. She hoped to find a better library soon.
+Ben and Lily liked to go to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to see the ducks and the squirrels.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and fluffy. He had a red collar and a leash. He looked friendly and happy. Ben and Lily wanted to pet the dog.
+
+They asked Mom if they could go near the dog. Mom said yes, but they had to ask the dog's owner first. The dog's owner was a man who was sitting on a bench. He was reading a book and he looked grumpy.
+
+Ben and Lily walked up to the man and said hello. They asked if they could pet his dog. The man did not look up from his book. He said no in a mean voice. He said his dog did not like children.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and scared. They did not understand why the man was so grumpy. They did not want to make the dog angry. They went back to Mom and told her what happened.
+
+Mom hugged them and said it was okay. She said some people and some dogs did not like to be bothered. She said they could find another dog to pet, or play with something else in the park.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They saw a yellow ball on the grass. They ran to get it and started to play catch. They forgot about the grumpy man and his dog. They had fun in the park.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They made a big tower on the board. They were very careful not to knock it down.
+
+"Look at our tower!" Lily said. "It is so tall and pretty!"
+
+"I like it too!" Tom said. "Can we make it taller?"
+
+They added more blocks to the tower. It was almost as tall as them.
+
+But then, Ben came into the room. He saw the tower and wanted to play too. He ran to the board and pushed the tower. It fell down with a loud crash. All the blocks were everywhere.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that?" Lily cried. "You destroyed our tower!"
+
+Tom was angry too. He shouted at Ben. "That was not nice! You made a big mess!"
+
+Ben looked at them. He did not understand why they were sad and mad. He thought it was fun to make the tower fall.
+
+"I just wanted to play!" Ben said. "It was fun to see the blocks fly!"
+
+Lily and Tom shook their heads. They did not want to play with Ben. They picked up the blocks and put them back in the box.
+
+"Next time, be careful with our things!" Lily said. "Or we will not let you play with us!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make them unhappy. He wanted to say sorry, but they did not listen. They walked away with the box.
+
+Ben sat on the floor. He looked at the board. It was empty and boring. He wished he had been more careful too.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Can we go up there?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben said. They ran to the tree and grabbed the branches. They pulled themselves up and up. They felt the bark and the leaves. They were rough and smooth.
+
+They reached the top of the tree. They looked around. They saw the sun and the clouds and the birds. They saw the other trees and the grass and the flowers. They saw the people and the cars and the houses. They saw their own shadows on the ground. They were big and funny.
+
+"Look at our shadows!" Lily said. "They are like us, but not us."
+
+"They are our friends!" Ben said. "They follow us everywhere."
+
+They waved at their shadows. Their shadows waved back. They laughed and clapped.
+
+They heard a voice. It was their mom. She was calling them.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Time to go home!"
+
+They looked down. They saw their mom. She was smiling and waving.
+
+"OK, mom!" Lily said. "We are coming!"
+

+"Yes, mom!" Ben said. "We climbed the tree and saw our shadows!"
+
+"They were our friends!" Lily said.
+
+"That's wonderful!" mom said. "But now it's time for dinner. Let's go home."
+
+They walked with their mom. They held her hands. They looked at their shadows. They said goodbye.
+
+"Bye, shadows!" Lily said.
+
+"See you tomorrow!" Ben said.

+Their shadows seemed to nod. They followed them until they disappeared.
+Lily liked to feed her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a soft triangle. She called him Trixie. Trixie was yellow and had a smiley face. Lily gave him some bread and water every day.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new toy in the store. It was a big, red circle. She called him Rex. She wanted to take him home and feed him too. She asked her mom to buy him for her.
+
+"Please, mom, can I have Rex? He is so nice and round. I will feed him and play with him."
+
+Mom looked at Rex and smiled. She knew Lily loved her toys. She said yes and bought Rex for Lily.
+
+Lily was very happy. She hugged Rex and thanked her mom. She ran home and showed Trixie her new friend. She put Rex next to Trixie on her bed.
+
+"Look, Trixie, this is Rex. He is a circle. He is my new toy. We will feed him and play with him."
+
+Trixie did not look happy. He felt uncomfortable. He did not like Rex. He thought Rex was too big and too red. He thought Lily would not feed him and play with him anymore. He felt sad and jealous.
+
+He decided to do something. He waited until Lily was asleep. Then he pushed Rex off the bed. He hoped Lily would not see him and forget about him.
+
+But Lily woke up and heard a loud thud. She turned on the light and saw Rex on the floor. She was worried. She picked him up and checked if he was hurt.
+
+"Rex, are you okay? What happened? Did you fall?"
+
+She looked at Trixie and saw his angry face. She realized what he had done. She was angry too.
+
+"Trixie, did you push Rex? That was not nice. That was mean. Rex is my toy too. I love you both. You have to share and be nice."
+
+She scolded Trixie and put him in the corner. She hugged Rex and put him back on the bed. She said sorry to him and kissed him.
+
+"Rex, I'm sorry. Trixie was bad. He will learn to be nice. I will feed you and play with you. You are my toy too. I love you."
+
+She turned off the light and went back to sleep. She cuddled with Rex and Trixie. She hoped they would be friends soon.
+Lily liked to play in the garden with her ball. She would throw it high in the air and catch it with her hands. Sometimes she would kick it hard and run after it. She had fun with her ball.
+
+One day, she saw a big tree with green and yellow fruits. She wondered what they were. She asked her mom, who was sitting on a bench with a book. Mom said they were pears. They were sweet and juicy and good to eat.
+
+Lily wanted to try a pear. She looked for a low branch, but they were all too high. She had an idea. She took her ball and threw it at the tree. She hoped to knock down a pear. But she missed. She tried again and again, but she could not hit a pear. She only hit the leaves and the bark.
+
+The ball bounced back and forth, making a loud noise. It also made a big mess. The leaves and the bark fell on the ground and on Lily's head. She looked very messy. Mom heard the noise and looked up. She saw Lily and the ball and the tree. She was not happy.
+
+She called Lily and told her to stop. She said it was not nice to strike the tree. She said the tree was alive and could feel pain. She said the pears were not ready to eat. They were still hard and sour. She said Lily had to clean up the mess and say sorry to the tree.
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not know she was hurting the tree. She did not know the pears were not good. She said sorry to the tree and to mom. She picked up the leaves and the bark and put them in a pile. She brushed her hair and her clothes. She gave her ball to mom and hugged her.
+
+Mom forgave Lily and hugged her back. She said she was proud of Lily for being sorry and for cleaning up. She said she would take her to the market and buy her a ripe pear. She said they would wash it and cut it and share it. Lily smiled and said thank you. She learned a lesson and got a treat. She was happy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the park. She had a red ball that she would throw and catch with her friends. One day, she saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. It was barking very loud.
+
+Lily was scared of the dog. She did not want to play with it. She ran to her mom and hid behind her. She said, "Mom, there is a bad dog in the park. It is making a lot of noise. I do not like it."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Do not worry, Lily. The dog is not bad. It is just excited. It wants to play, too. But it does not know the right way to play with people. It needs to learn to be gentle and quiet."
+
+Lily looked at the dog again. She saw that it had a collar and a leash. There was a man holding the leash. He was trying to calm the dog down. He said, "Sorry, everyone. My dog is new. He is not used to the park. He is not mean. He is just curious."
+
+Lily heard the man. She felt a little better. She thought maybe the dog was not so bad after all. She asked her mom, "Can I go and say hi to the dog?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. Do not touch the dog without asking the man first. And do not make any sudden moves or loud sounds. The dog might get scared or angry."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be nice to the dog." She walked slowly to the dog and the man. She said, "Hello, dog. What is your name?"
+
+The dog stopped barking and looked at Lily. He wagged his tail and licked her hand. The man said, "His name is Max. He likes you. You are very brave and polite."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Max. You are very cute and soft. I like you, too. Do you want to play with my ball?"
+
+Max barked and nodded. Lily threw the ball and Max ran after it. He brought it back to Lily and dropped it at her feet. Lily and Max played for a long time. They had a lot of fun. Lily learned that the dog was not bad. He was just different. And she made a new friend.

She looked up and saw a real snake on the tree. The snake was big and green and had red eyes. The snake looked at Lily and opened its mouth.
+
+Lily was very afraid. She screamed and dropped her book and her tea. She tried to run, but the snake was faster. The snake bit Lily on her leg and wrapped itself around her. Lily felt a lot of pain and could not breathe. She cried for her mom, but her mom was too far. She could not hear her. Lily closed her eyes and stopped moving.

+

+
+"Rex, you are not a dragon, you are a good dog!" Tom said, kneeling down to pet him. "Where is the princess?"
+
+Rex barked and ran to a corner of the garden, where a doll was lying on a blanket. He picked up the doll with his mouth and brought it to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Wow, you found the princess, Rex! You are a cool dog!" Lily said, taking the doll from him. "Thank you for helping us!"
+
+Tom and Lily hugged Rex and gave him a treat. They put the doll on the rock and pretended to crown her. Rex watched them and wagged his tail. He was happy to play knights and dragons with his friends.

+
+One day, Sara's mom told her that they were going to visit grandma. Sara was happy, because she loved grandma. She wanted to show her Lily and tell her about the angel games. She packed Lily in her backpack and got ready to go.
+
+On the way, Sara's mom taught her a new song. It was about angels and stars and love. Sara liked the song. She tried to sing along, but she did not know all the words. Her mom said, "Don't worry, just repeat after me." And she sang the song again, slowly and clearly, and Sara repeated each word.
+
+When they arrived at grandma's house, Sara ran to hug her. Grandma smiled and kissed her. She said, "What a lovely surprise! How are you, my sweet Sara?" Sara said, "I'm good, grandma. I have something to show you." She opened her backpack and took out Lily. She said, "This is Lily. She is an angel. I made her wings and halo. Do you like her?"
+
+Grandma looked at Lily and said, "She is beautiful, Sara. You are very creative and clever. And I see you have a song for me too." She pointed to Sara's mouth, where she saw a sticker that said "I learned a new song today". Sara nodded and said, "Yes, grandma. Mom taught me a song about angels and stars and love. Do you want to hear it?" Grandma said, "Of course, I do. Sing it for me, please." Sara said, "Okay, grandma. But you have to repeat after me, like mom did." And she sang the song, slowly and clearly, and grandma repeated each word.
+
+Sara and grandma sang the song together, and they felt happy and warm. They hugged each other and said, "We love you, angel." Sara's mom watched them and smiled. She thought, "They are both wise and kind. They are my angels."

+
+But then, they saw a problem. There was only one white chalk in the box. Sara and Ben both wanted the white chalk. They said, "I saw it first!" and "No, I did!" They started to fight over the white chalk. They pulled and pushed and yelled.
+
+A lady who was walking her dog saw them. She said, "Stop fighting, children! Fighting is not nice. Why don't you take turns with the white chalk? Or use another color? There are so many colors in the box."
+
+Sara and Ben stopped fighting. They felt ashamed. They said, "Sorry, lady. Sorry, friend." They hugged and said, "Let's share the chalk and play nice."
