You need to make something else with something else." + +Naomi was so sad. She wanted to make her creative thing with her drum. She thought and thought about how she could get her drum back. Finally, she had an idea. She asked her brother to close his eyes and count to 10. When he did, she quickly ran and grabbed her drum. + +Naomi was so pleased with her idea. She smiled and started to make something creative with her drum. Her brother watched in amazement. He was so happy to see his sister so happy. From that day on, they both agreed that sharing was the way to go! +Bob the rabbit was feeling strong. He hopped through the garden, bouncing on the grass. His ears wiggled as he enjoyed each bounce! + +Nearby, a squirrel was adjusting the grocery bags. She sneezed as she moved them around. + +Bob came up to her and said, "Hi! What are you doing?" + +The squirrel replied, "I'm putting the groceries in the house. We need food inside so that we can eat." + +Bob said, "That sounds hard! Can I help?" + +The squirrel smiled and said, "Sure! You can help me carry the bags. Hold them tight so they don't bounce away!" + +Bob grabbed a big bag, making sure it was strong. He followed the squirrel back to her home, with the groceries safely held tight. + +Once they made it home, they unloaded the bags together. Bob smiled as each grocery item was put away. The house was full of food! + +Bob hopped back outside and started bouncing again. He had helped his new squirrel friend and now he was feeling even stronger. +Once upon a time, there lived two brothers, Mark and Will. Mark was very wealthy while Will was not. One day, Mark was preparing to climb a tall mountain. He asked his brother Will to come with him. + +"No way!" said Will. "I don't have the strength to climb a mountain!" + +But Mark smiled and said, "Will, I will cook some food for us to take with us. Then it will be easier for us to climb the mountain." + +Will thought about it and finally agreed. So, the two brothers packed some food and set off to climb the mountain. It was a long and tiring journey, but they managed to reach the top. When they looked down, they could see their town and how small it looked compared to the mountain. + +"Look," said Mark. "This is how powerful and wealthy I am. I can climb any mountain!" + +Will smiled, feeling proud of his brother. They sat down and enjoyed the beautiful view. +Once there was a little boy named Jack. He was very excited one day because he found an ordinary basket in the park. He picked it up and started to explore what was inside. + "Oh wow!" He exclaimed as he saw a shiny coin in the basket. +Jack took the coin and decided to go to the candy store to buy something special. He walked into the store and the candy man said, "What can I do for you, little one?" +Jack proudly showed the candy man the coin and said, "I want some special candy". +The candy man thought for a moment and then said, "Ok, here you go". He handed Jack a bag of candy. + +Jack thanked the candy man and started to walk back home, but as soon as he was out of the store, he heard a loud voice yelling, "Hey you! Stop!" +Jack turned around and saw the angry candy man coming after him. The candy man said, "That coin you have is mine! Give it back". +Jack was so scared he quickly dropped the bag of candy and ran away as fast as he could. He never got to enjoy the candy and he never saw the ordinary basket ever again. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Fred and Andy. It was their birthday and they were both very excited. + +Fred had an idea. He said, "Let's go to the store and buy something with money". Andy said, "Ok!" + +The two friends ran to the store. They looked at the toys and the candy but nothing made them happy. Then suddenly Fred saw it - An amazing spinning wheel. "This is what we need!" he said. + +Andy paid for the wheel with their money. They took the wheel outside and started running around with it. Fred and Andy felt so dizzy after a few minutes, they decided to stop. + +"Thank you so much, Andy!" said Fred. Andy replied, "You're welcome! Thank you too, Fred!" + +The two friends laughed and hugged each other. They both agreed it was their best birthday ever! +Once upon a time, two friends, Beth and Caleb, were walking on a journey. As they were walking, Beth began to yawn. + +"Why are you yawning, Beth?" Caleb asked. + +Beth replied, "I'm so tired, Caleb. This journey is tiring." + +Caleb, being a compassionate friend, said, "I'll carry you, then! That way, we can make the journey faster." + +Beth smiled, and then nodded her head. Caleb bent down and carefully picked Beth up. As Beth felt Caleb holding her snugly, she felt a wave of warmth wash over her. + +With the compassionate Caleb now carrying her, the journey was much faster and easier. At the end of the journey, Beth yawned with a big yawn and laughed with joy. + +"Thank you, Caleb," Beth said with a smile. + +"No problem," Caleb said. "I'm glad I could help." +Once upon a time, there was a dependable boy named Jake. Jake always wanted to know lots of things, but one day he heard about a special lime that seemed to have the answers. So, he went searching for it. + +One day he found the lime in a far away forest. When Jake asked the lime a question, amazingly it answered him! It turned out that the lime could answer any question Jake asked. + +Soon, Jake got too excited and started asking too many questions. That made the lime angry and it wouldn't answer him any more. Jake was sad. + +But then he realized that he didn't need to keep asking so many questions. He realized he could do some of the work himself and not rely too much on the lime. So, he set out to learn more about the world around him with what he already knew. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to be dependable and know things for yourself. Don't rely on someone else too much, because when they're not around, you'll have nothing. +Once upon a time, a little boy named Jack and his mommy were walking in a park. As they were walking, they saw a huge, big entrance to a castle. "Wow, Mama, look at the big door!" Jack said, as he pointed at it. His mama smiled. "Let's go inside," she said. + +They went through the door and into a small room. In the middle, there was a heavy weight. Jack asked his mama what it was. "That's a special weight," she said. "It helps keep the castle safe. But it's very heavy, so only Big Knights are allowed in here." + +Jack felt sad. He wanted to be a Big Knight like them, but he knew he wasn't. Suddenly, a Big Knight entered. He saw Jack and said, "I can tell you have a brave heart. Even if you are not a Big Knight right now, you can become one with practice and hard work." + +These words stayed with Jack. As he and his mommy left the castle, he vowed to himself to become a Big Knight. The moral of the story is that with determination and hard work, even the biggest goals can be achieved. +One day a boy was playing in his yard very carefully. He looked up and saw an ambulance speeding through his neighbourhood. He was so surprised he ran out to see what was happening. + +The boy watched as the ambulance stopped in front of a house. Two men ran inside, pushing a stretcher. The boy followed them in. + +Inside the house, a woman was crying. One of the men asked her to be careful, and she began to cry even harder. + +Suddenly the boy heard one of the men say: "I'm so sorry ma'am, but your husband has passed away." + +The boy was so shocked by the news he ran back to his yard. He knew that his careful actions had not been enough to save the man. +One day, Mummy had a special delivery. +It was a beautiful present for her! +Mummy went up the stair and she opened the present. +It was a lovely new teddy bear! + +Mummy smiled and said 'Thank you for the delivery!' + +Mummy took the teddy bear downstairs and showed it to the little girl. +The little girl giggled and said 'It's so beautiful!' +Mummy and the little girl played with the teddy bear all day. + +The little girl was so happy with the delivery, and she hugged her new teddy bear tightly. +Mummy gave her a big hug, and said 'I'm glad you're happy'. +One day, Jack and his mom were walking in the park. Jack was running around and feeling so excited. Suddenly, he heard a ringing sound. They both looked around and saw a melon rolling on the ground. Jack ran up to it and touched it. But the melon was very messy. + +"Look what I found!", said Jack. + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, I heard it ringing too. It's a melon! Shall we take it home with us?" + +Jack said yes and picked up the melon. It was heavy in his hands, but he was so happy he didn't mind. + +The two of them went home and Jack put the melon in the kitchen. The kitchen was now very messy, but he didn't care since he was so happy. + +From that day on, Jack was always on the lookout for a melon that would ring! +Once there was a boy who loved to play with his toy car. He was excited to show his parents the car. But when he was about to show them, he realized that one of the wheels was missing. He was very sad. + +The boy decided to search for the wheel. He was eager to find it so he searched everywhere, up and down and around the house. He searched for a long time and he eventually found the wheel! It had rolled under the sofa. + +He was very happy that he found it and he quickly put it back onto the toy car. Now it was ready to show his parents. But when the boy showed them, they didn’t recognize it. They thought it was something new and they were very surprised. + +The boy explained that it was the same car, but with a new wheel. Then his parents realized that it was the same car and they were very proud of him. They congratulated him for being so eager to find the wheel and for putting it back onto the car. +Once upon a time, there was a naughty bear. He loved to try new things, but he was often too naughty. + +One day, the bear looked outside and saw the sun. It was so bright and warm! He decided he wanted to try and reach it, so he started to climb. + +He got higher and higher, until he was almost there. But just as he was about to grab the sun, he slipped. He fell all the way back to the ground. + +The naughty bear was sad, but he still kept trying. He kept trying to reach the sun every day. Finally, he got tired and stopped trying. + +But, he never forgot the bright and warm sun in the sky. +Bob was on a farm with his family. They were taking care of the animals and tending to the garden. Bob's parents were always busy but they made time to take care of him and to play with him. + +One day Bob was walking around the farm when he saw a big problem. There was a big pile of sticks blocking the path. He knew he had to solve it. He put his hands on his hips and thought and thought until he found the solution. He put the sticks together in a pile and put some stones around them so they wouldn't move. + +The next day Bob's family was out on the farm and they saw a big problem. The animals had knocked down the fence and they were now running around. Bob remembered his solution! He asked his family for help and together they put the fence back together. + +Bob was so happy and his parents were so proud. The farm was back to the way it was supposed to be. + +One day Bob's family was out on the farm and they saw an even bigger problem. An angry bull was coming towards them. Bob remembered his solution again! He quickly put some stones in a circle and the bull was blocked from coming any closer. + +Bob's family was so thankful that he had solved the problem. Bob smiled with pride and remembered how solving problems can help people. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl called Alice. Alice had never seen the sky before. One day, Alice's mother decided to take her to the park. + +Alice squealed with joy as she looked up at the sky. It was so blue and so big, she couldn't believe it. She felt something on her lips - it was melting ice cream! + +Alice felt so grateful and she knew just what to do. She held her melting ice cream up to the sky and said, "Thank you, sky!" + +Alice's mother looked at Alice and smiled. She said, "That's very nice, Alice. You're very grateful." + +Alice nodded and looked back up to the sky. What a wonderful way to appreciate it! She smiled and asked her mother for more melting ice cream. +Once there was a little girl named Bea. Bea loved to be outside, playing with her toys. One day, Bea found a jar in the grass. She thought it was interesting and put it in her pocket.Bea went to the pond to wash her hands. But when she looked in her pocket, there was the jar! + +Bea wanted to keep the jar, but she knew she had to put it away. She tried to find a good spot to hide it. But no matter where she put it, it was in the way. + +Bea felt embarrassed. She wanted to keep the jar, but didn't know what to do. Then she had an idea - she would wash the jar and keep it in her room! + +Bea washed the jar and it sparkled in the sunshine. She carefully hid it in her room and never told anyone about it. Bea was proud of her jar and never felt embarrassed ever again. +Once upon a time there was a poor cat. He lived on a lonely farm, far away from everyone. He was always so lonely and wished he had someone to talk to. One day, the cat got an amazing idea – he would build a network of friends. He bounded around the farm, talking to all the animals he met, inviting them to be his friends. + +"Let's be friends!", he meowed. + +One by one, the animals replied with a wary yes. The cat was so happy – he finally had a network of friends! But soon, the cat realised that he had made a mistake. All the animals were too busy with their own things to pay attention to the cat, leaving him feeling lonelier than ever before. + +The moral of this story is that having a network of friends is not always the answer. Quality relationships matter more than just having many friends. +Karen was a very independent girl. One day, she was walking in the park when she saw a hand sticking out of the ground. She squatted down to take a closer look. It was a statue of a hand, reaching upwards. + +She paused for a minute, trying to figure out why it was here. Then, she decided she wanted to help. She grabbed some dirt and began to fill it in around the hand. + +After she was finished, Karen stepped back and admired her work. The hand looked like it was no longer stuck in the ground. It was free! + +Karen smiled and cheered. She was proud that she could be independent and make a difference. She skipped away, happy that she was able to help. +Once upon a time there was a mother and a son who wanted to go to the zoo. As they arrived, they saw an enormous zoo in front of them. The little boy was so happy and wanted to see everything. He wanted to go on an adventure and explore. + +The mother was worried and said, "You need to take a nap first before we explore the zoo". The little boy was disappointed, but he knew his mother was right. So he reluctantly took a nap. + +While the little boy was napping, the mother saw something unusual. There was a huge lion walking around in the zoo. She was scared, and ran back to get the little boy to protect him. But when she returned, the little boy was still sleeping! + +The lion was getting closer and closer to the little boy and the mother was getting worried. Suddenly, the mother had an idea - she made a loud noise that woke up the little boy, just in time before the lion attacked him. + +The little boy was so scared, but he was also very happy and thankful that his mother saved him. After that frightening experience, they decided to go home and have a little nap together. +Once upon a time there was a town. In this town lived many people, including an elderly lady. One day, she went out for a walk. + +As she walked, the elderly lady noticed something in the distance. She pointed and said, "What is that?" + +Suddenly, a young boy appeared. He smiled and said, "That's my town." + +The woman was delighted to hear that. She asked him, "What is special about your town?" + +The boy pointed again and said, "It's full of friendly people." + +The elderly lady smiled and thanked the boy. Before she left, she said, "I will definitely come back to visit your town one day." + +The boy smiled as she left and waved as she walked away. He thought to himself, "What a nice elderly lady." +Once there was a little girl named Coco. Coco was only 3 years old, so she didn't understand most of the complicated words that adults used. One day, Coco's parents sat her down at the dinner table. Coco felt anxious because the dinner table was usually only for grown-ups. She wanted to know why she was there. + +So Coco asked her parents, “Why am I here?†Her father smiled and said, “Coco, this dinner table is for everyone in our family. Whenever you want to talk to us, all you have to do is come and sit at this table and we will listen.†+ +Coco smiled, understanding why she was there. She realised that she was just as important to her family as all her older siblings. + +The moral of this story is to remind us all of the importance of communication. Talking to each other often is a great way to create strong family bonds. +Cara and John were playing on the dull lawn. "Let's separate!" said John. "Ok," said Cara. So the two children ran in different directions. + +John ran and hid behind a tree. "I'm going to hide!" he shouted. But Cara just laughed and kept running. She ran and ran until she couldn't see John anymore. Suddenly, she heard John's voice. "Come back, Cara!" he called. Cara turned around and looked for him. She finally found him hiding behind the tree. "There you are!" she said. + +The two of them smiled and ran back to the lawn. Playing together was so much more fun they realized. +Alex and his mommy were walking on the beach. The sun was high and the sand felt warm beneath their feet. They looked up and saw a boat approaching. It was a big boat and rising high above it was a waving flag. + +Alex and his mommy watched and waved. The boat got closer, and Alex said “Mommy! Can I drink the water?†+ +Mommy smiled and said “No, Alex, not today. The water is too thin and you might get wet.†+ +Alex frowned, but then he saw a seagull flying low. It was drinking water from the sea. “Like that?†he asked. + +Mommy nodded and said “Yes, like that. Birds can drink seawater, but it’s not safe for us.†+ +Alex watched the seagull in wonder. He smiled and waved as the boat sailed away. +John stood in the hot, steamy kitchen, with his little brother Marcus next to him. +John was always teaching Marcus new things, and today he had something exciting to show him. + +"Let me teach you something cool, Marcus. Watch!" + +John grabbed an old pot from the shelf, and filled it with water. He held a match underneath, and soon the pot was releasing wild steam. + +"Wow!" said Marcus. + +John explained to his brother, "Steam is something special. It comes from hot water, and it can help us cook things like soup, and rice. It's so much fun to play with!" + +Marcus nodded and clapped, then tried making steam of his own. John smiled and watched, proud to have taught his brother something new. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She lived in the jungle and her name was Anne. She loved exploring the jungle every day. + +One day, she found a regular tree and thought it was funny. She laughed and laughed as she walked around it. + +But to her surprise, something else laughed too! She looked around to see what it was, but nothing was there. + +Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a monkey! The monkey was also laughing. "What's so funny?" asked Anne. + +The monkey replied, "You and your silly tree! That's funny stuff!" + +Anne laughed too and said, "Let's go explore the jungle together!" + +So Anne and the monkey saw all kinds of cool things in the jungle and laughed together the whole time. + +At the end of the day, they said goodbye to each other and promised to meet again soon! +Once upon a time there was a magical purple staff. The staff belonged to an old wizard who was very wise. + +One day, a little girl named Rachel found the purple staff and decided to take it for herself. The wizard saw her and told her she must return it back to him right away. But Rachel did not listen. Instead, she decided to delay giving it back. + +The wizard became very cross and threatened to put a spell on Rachel. He shouted: "If you do not return the staff now I will make you very sorry!" + +But Rachel still would not give back the purple staff. So the wizard put a giant spell on her and suddenly she vanished into thin air. + +Rachel was never seen again. The wizard kept the staff as his own and was very careful never to delay returning someone else's property ever again! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends. One was Jacob and the other was Tina. They did everything together! They played tag, went to the park and even ate ice cream. + +One day, they decided to build a sandcastle at the beach. Jacob was very proud of it when they had completed it, so he showed it off to all his friends. Tina was feeling jealous, though - she wanted everyone to admire her sandcastle too. + +"Tina," said Jacob, "let's take turns standing on the shoulder of the sandcastle!" + +But Tina refused. She wanted to do it alone. + +Jacob put his arm around her and said, "It's OK, we can both go. We can complete it together!" + +Tina smiled and happily agreed. They both jumped on the sandcastle's shoulder and laughed as they looked out over the beach. From that day on, they were always looking for something new to complete together! +One morning, Mommy was getting ready for work. She asked, "Johnnie, can you watch the house for me while I go to work?" + +Johnnie nodded his head and said, "Yes, I can watch the house!" He sat in the chair and looked around the house like he was supposed to. + +Then, Johnnie saw a small black shoe sitting on the floor. He said to himself, "That shoe doesn't belong there!" He picked up the shoe and put it back in the closet. + +Johnnie then heard a tiny meow. He saw a helpless little kitten in the corner. He said, "Oh, it must have been scared of the shoe." Johnnie picked up the kitten and hugged it. The kitten seemed happy to have found a friend. + +Johnnie was glad that he had watched the house and helped the poor kitten. He was happy he'd been able to help. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Linda who lived with her mommy and daddy in the countryside. It was always so fun for them to run around the grass and smell the flowers. + +One day, it got very cold and Linda's mommy and daddy asked her to stay bundled up in her warm coat. But Linda was so cold that she started to shiver and her knees shook. + +Mommy and Daddy said, "Let's go find a cozy place to warm up!" So they began walking down the road, past the farms and the trees, until they came to the big, white house at the end of the street. + +"Mommy, who lives here?" Linda asked. +"Oh, this is the home of the wealthy family who owns all of these farms," Daddy replied. + +Then they all heard a loud noise coming from inside the house. It sounded like someone singing! Curious, Linda and her family decided to knock on the door. + +When the wealthy family opened the door, Linda saw a glowing fire in the fireplace and felt the warmth rush over her icy body. She stopped shivering and her knees finally stopped shaking. + +The wealthy family welcomed Linda and her family inside and offered to share their home and warmth whenever Linda felt cold. +From then on, Linda and her family always felt so warm and happy. +Once upon a time there was a naughty rabbit who liked to eat wood. +One day the rabbit saw a big piece of wood and he said to himself “That looks yummy, I must eat it!â€. + +So he hopped right up and tried to take a bite out of the wood, but it was too hard. He tried and tried, but nothing worked. But the rabbit was so determined to eat the wood, that he kept trying. + +Suddenly the rabbit heard a voice say “What are you doing?â€. It was a fox who was standing near the wood. ��€œI'm trying to eat the wood†the rabbit said. The fox looked at him and said “That is not a good idea. Wood is not good for rabbits to eat. If you eat it you will get sickâ€. + +But the rabbit was too naughty to listen. He said “No, it looks yummy and I'm going to eat itâ€. So he kept trying, until finally he was able to take a bite out of the wood. + +The next day he was very sick. His stomach hurt and he felt very weak. He learned the hard way that he should have listened to the fox and not been so naughty. + +Moral of the story: Don't do things that you know are wrong, even if they seem tempting. +Once upon a time, there was a furry bear up in a tree. He looked around and saw a teaspoon at the bottom of the tree. He looked curious and jumped out of the tree to meet the teaspoon. + +He stepped closer and asked the teaspoon, “What are you doing here in the woods?†+ +The teaspoon smiled and said, “I’m waiting for someone special to come meet me!†+ +The bear was very excited and said, “I’m here to meet you! What shall we do together?†+ +The teaspoon suggested, “Let’s go find some honey!†+ +So together, the furry bear and the teaspoon went searching for the sweetest and most delicious honey. They explored the woods and after a while, they finally found the honey and ate it all up. + +The bear and the teaspoon were so happy to have met each other and to go on an adventure together. They agreed to meet again soon for more fun and delicious honey! +Once upon a time, a bossy igloo lived in the middle of a frozen lake. This igloo belonged to two friends, a polar bear and a walrus. The walrus was very bossy and liked to order the polar bear around all the time. The polar bear liked to lend a helping hand to his friend, but he was getting very frustrated by the bossy orders. + +One day, the walrus asked the polar bear to help build an extra igloo for himself. Looking at his friend's bossy attitude, the polar bear decided to only lend his words of advice but nothing else. It took the walrus many days of hard work and patience to build his new igloo. + +Finally, the walrus finished his igloo and was very proud of it. After seeing the hard work he put into the igloo, the polar bear went up to his friend and said, “Friendship is a two-way street and I’m willing to lend you help whenever you need it.†The walrus understood his lesson and was never bossy again. + +The moral of this story is that we all need to show respect to each other in order to keep a friendship strong. We should be willing to lend help to our friends. +Once upon a time, there was a huge wolf who lived in the forest. All the other animals respected and valued him. + +One day, a little rabbit was hopping in the woods and spotted the wolf. He was very scared and wondered what he should do. + +The rabbit timidly said to the wolf, "Please don't hurt me. I value you and I don't want to get hurt." + +The wolf looked at the rabbit and said, "You do not need to be scared. I value you too. I will never hurt you." + +The little rabbit felt safe and thanked the wolf. + +He continued hopping through the woods, thankful for the huge wolf's protection and kindness. +Once upon a time there was a big bear. He was walking along a wide path in a big forest. As he walked, he sneezed. He noticed something sparkly on the ground. It was a diamond. + +He bent down to pick it up and looked around. He saw a garden of colorful flowers and tall trees. He hadn't seen this garden before. + +He decided to explore it, and as he walked around, he noticed a small girl. She was sitting very still and humming a song. He asked her, "What are you doing here?" + +The little girl smiled and said, "I'm singing for a diamond. If I can sing long enough, a diamond will appear!" + +The big bear was surprised, but he was curious. He asked, "Is that true?" + +The little girl nodded at him and said, "Yes, it is true. When I sneeze the diamond appears!" + +The big bear nodded and watched as the little girl started to sneeze. Sure enough, a beautiful diamond appeared in front of them. The bear picked up the diamond and thanked the little girl. + +The two were friends and the big bear returned to his path to continue his journey. +Once upon a time there were two bugs, Ben and Jenny. Ben was the bigger of the two and he loved taking long walks on the path. He thought it was the most beautiful way to explore the world. + +One day, Ben asked Jenny to join him on a walk. Jenny was very excited about the idea and she agreed right away. + +They both began walking on the path. Everywhere they looked, they saw delicate flowers and plants. Ben thanked nature for being so wonderful. + +Suddenly, a big gust of wind blew and Jenny was scared. She clung onto Ben and he held her tight. "It's okay, I'm here for you." + +But then Ben slipped on the path and lost his balance. Jenny tried to help him, but it was too late. He tumbled down a hill and rolled into a deep hole. + +Jenny started to cry. She didn't understand what had happened and why. She was too scared to go and help Ben, so she just froze in fear. + +The moral of the story is that things can change very quickly and that it's important to be careful. + +If Ben hadn't thanked nature for being so beautiful, maybe he wouldn't have slipped on the path. He was so distracted that he lost his balance and things turned out so badly. He should have been more careful and gentle on the delicate path. +Once upon a time, there were two friends—Pete and Sam. Pete was very selfish, and he always wanted to have the best toys for himself. One day, Pete and Sam were playing a game when there was a loud rumbling noise. It was an earthquake! + +Sam was very scared and cried out, "What do we do now?" + +Pete said, "I know how to solve this. If I get the best toy from this earthquake, then everything will be okay." Pete thought his plan was a great idea, so he began to search for the best toy. + +But when Pete looked around, he saw that all of the toys had been damaged by the earthquake. He realized that his selfish plan had not worked. + +Sam felt very bad, but Pete had to face the fact that he had not been able to solve the problem. +Once upon a time there was a family who went out to eat at a restaurant. When they got there they were greeted by a nice lady at the front. She asked what they wanted and they pointed to the menu. + +The lady was very patient as she waited for them to decide. Finally, after a few minutes, they all agreed on what they wanted. She smiled and asked, "Is that all?" + +"Yes, please!," said the mom. + +The lady nodded and wrote down their order. Then she brought their food to the table. + +The family was so hungry and the food smelled so good! They ate it all really quickly. When they were done the dad asked, "Can we please have some more?" + +The lady was very patient. She smiled and said, "Of course!" Then she brought some more food for them to eat. + +The family was so happy to have enough food to stay full. They thanked the lady for being so patient with them and went on their way. + +The end. +Little Sarah was a very naughty girl. She loved to organize things in her room and make them look neat. One day, she was particularly mischievous and decided to organize her parents' kitchen. + +After she was done, her father, Jack, walked in and saw mess everywhere. He was very angry and yelled at Sarah, "What on Earth have you done here? Your mother asked you to just play with your toys, but you decided to play with the kitchen!" + +Sarah was embarrassed and looked down. "I was just trying to organize everything". + +Jack sighed. He could tell his daughter meant well. She had placed all of the plates in a neat line and the spoons in a pot.

He sniffs the ground, but he cannot smell the ball. He barks, but he cannot hear the ball. He is sad. He wants to play with the ball. + +Sara and Ben see that Spot is sad. They want to help him. They look under the bush, but they cannot see the ball either. It is too dark and too deep. They try to reach under the bush, but they cannot touch the ball. It is too far and too prickly. + +"Maybe we can use a stick," Sara says. She finds a long, thin stick and gives it to Ben. Ben tries to poke the ball with the stick, but he cannot move the ball. It is too heavy and too stuck. + +"Maybe we can use a paw," Spot thinks. He has four paws, and they are strong and sharp. He crawls under the bush, and scratches the ball with his paw. He pushes the ball with his paw, and rolls it out of the bush. + +"Spot, you did it!" Sara and Ben cheer. They see the ball, and they see Spot. Spot is happy. He has the ball, and he has his friends. He licks Sara and Ben, and they hug him. The ball is wet and muddy, but Spot does not mind. He likes the ball. He likes to play. He does not care if he is dry or dirty. He is a good boy. +Anna was a modest girl who liked to play with her dolls and read books. She did not have many friends at school, because she was shy and quiet. One day, a new boy came to her class. His name was Ben, and he had curly hair and a big smile. He sat next to Anna and said hello. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" he asked. + +"I'm Anna," she whispered. + +"Do you want to be my friend?" he said. + +Anna nodded. She felt happy that someone wanted to talk to her. + +At recess, Ben and Anna went to the playground. They saw a rope hanging from a tree. Ben ran to it and grabbed it. He swung back and forth, laughing. + +"Look, Anna, this is fun! Do you want to try?" he said. + +Anna was scared of the rope. She thought it was too high and too fast. She shook her head. + +"No, thank you. I don't like the rope," she said. + +Ben frowned. He did not understand why Anna did not want to play with him. He thought she was boring and rude. + +"Fine, then. You're no fun. I'm going to find someone else to play with," he said. He let go of the rope and ran away. + +Anna felt sad and lonely. She wished Ben would come back and be her friend. She did not mean to hurt his feelings. She just did not like the rope. She wondered if she should introduce herself to someone else, or just play with her dolls. She hoped Ben would forgive her. +Lily and Max were very happy to see their grandma. She came to visit them for a week. She brought a big bag with many things inside. Lily and Max wanted to see what she had for them. + +"Can we help you unpack, grandma?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my dears. Let's go to your room and see what I have for you," grandma said. + +They went to Lily and Max's room and opened the big bag. Grandma took out some books, some clothes, some toys and some snacks. She gave some to Lily and some to Max. + +"Look, Lily, this is a doll that can talk. You just need to put a battery in her back and press this button," grandma said. + +"Wow, thank you, grandma. She is very pretty. Can I name her Anna?" Lily said. + +"Sure, you can. And look, Max, this is a robot that can move. You also need to put a battery in his chest and turn this switch," grandma said. + +"Wow, thank you, grandma. He is very cool. Can I name him Bob?" Max said. + +"Sure, you can. And you know what? You can also be creative with them. You can make them talk to each other, or play games, or tell stories. You can use your imagination and have fun," grandma said. + +"Yay, that sounds great. Thank you, grandma. You are the best," Lily and Max said. + +They hugged their grandma and then started to play with their new toys. They were very happy and creative. Grandma smiled and watched them. She was very happy too. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see a mule in the barn. The mule is brown and white. He has big ears and a long tail. + +"Hello, mule!" Lila says. "What is your name?" + +The mule does not answer. He looks at Lila and Ben. He is shy. + +"Can we pet you?" Ben asks. He moves closer to the mule. + +The mule does not like that. He kicks his legs and runs away. He is fast. + +"Wow, he can speed!" Lila says. "Let's chase him!" + +Lila and Ben run after the mule. They laugh and shout. The mule runs to the field. He sees colorful flowers. He stops and eats some. + +Lila and Ben catch up with the mule. They see the flowers too. They are red, yellow, blue and pink. They are pretty. + +"Look, mule, we found your snack!" Lila says. She picks a flower and gives it to the mule. + +The mule takes the flower. He chews it and makes a noise. He is happy. + +"Thank you, mule!" Ben says. He pets the mule's head. The mule lets him. + +Lila and Ben smile. They make a new friend. They play with the mule and the flowers. They have fun. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big house with a nice garden. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in and look around," Tom said. "Maybe they have toys or candy." + +"But what if someone lives there?" Sue asked. "They might get angry at us." + +"No one is home," Tom said. "The door is open. Come on, it will be fun." + +They went inside the house and saw many things they had never seen before. There were shiny things, soft things, and colorful things. They touched everything and made a lot of noise. + +In the kitchen, they found a big bowl of salad on the table. It had lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and nuts. It looked yummy. + +"Let's eat some," Tom said. "We are hungry." + +"But what if it belongs to someone?" Sue asked. "They might need it." + +"No one will miss it," Tom said. "They have so much food. They are wealthy. Come on, it will be tasty." + +They took some salad and put it in their mouths. It was crunchy and salty and sweet. They liked it a lot. They ate more and more until the bowl was empty. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was a man who lived in the house. He had come back and saw them in his kitchen. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here? How dare you eat my salad?" he shouted. He was very angry. He grabbed them by their arms and dragged them outside. He called the police and told them what happened. + +Tom and Sue were scared and sorry. They wished they had never gone inside the house. They wished they had listened to Sue. They learned a hard lesson. They never stole anything again. +Lily loved to color. She had many crayons and papers to make pretty pictures. She liked to color flowers, animals, and rainbows. But she did not like to share her crayons with her brother Max. Max was naughty. He always took her crayons without asking and broke them or made ugly marks on her papers. + +One day, Lily was coloring a big sun on a yellow paper. She wanted to make it shine with orange and red. She looked for her orange crayon, but she could not find it. She saw Max sitting on the floor with her crayon in his hand. He was scribbling on the wall. + +"Max, give me my crayon!" Lily shouted. "You are naughty! You are not supposed to color on the wall!" + +Max did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, it is my crayon now. I like to color on the wall. It is fun!" + +Lily was very angry. She ran to Max and tried to grab her crayon. But Max was stronger. He pushed her away and said, "Go away, Lily! You are a baby! You can only color on papers!" + +Lily fell down and started to cry. She felt sad and hurt. She wanted her crayon back. She wanted to finish her sun. She wished Max would be nice to her. + +Mom heard Lily crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw Max coloring on the wall and Lily on the floor. She was very upset. She took the crayon from Max and said, "Max, you are very naughty! You have to say sorry to Lily and help me clean the wall. You can not color on the wall. It is bad!" + +Max felt ashamed. He knew he did something wrong. He looked at Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. Please forgive me. Can I color with you?" + +Lily wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "Yes, you can color with me. But you have to ask me first and be gentle with my crayons. And you have to share with me. OK?" + +Max nodded and said, "OK. I will share with you. And I will be nice to you. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged Max and said, "I love you, too, Max. Come on, let's color together." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I am proud of you. You are both good children. Now, let's clean the wall and then you can show me your pictures." +Sara and Ben like to play with snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They have fun in the cold. + +One day, the sun is very bright and warm. Sara and Ben go outside to play with snow. But they see something sad. The snow is melting. Their snowballs and snowmen and snow forts are getting smaller and smaller. They are losing their shape and their weight. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want to play with snow. They try to make new snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. But the snow is too wet and soft. It does not stick together. It falls apart. + +Sara and Ben go to their grandpa. He is old and wise. He sees their sad faces. He asks them what is wrong. They tell him about the snow melting. + +Grandpa smiles. He hugs them. He tells them not to be sad. He says that snow is not gone forever. He says that snow is water. And water can change. Sometimes it is solid, like snow or ice. Sometimes it is liquid, like rain or juice. Sometimes it is gas, like steam or fog. + +Grandpa says that when the sun is warm, it makes the snow melt. It turns it into water. The water flows into the ground or the river or the lake. It does not disappear. It waits for another time. + +Grandpa says that when the air is cold, it makes the water freeze. It turns it into snow or ice. The snow or ice falls from the sky or grows on the ground. It makes new shapes and new weight. + +Grandpa says that snow and water and ice are always changing. They are part of a cycle. A cycle is something that happens again and again. He says that snow will come back. They will be able to play with snow again. + +Sara and Ben listen to grandpa. They learn something new. They feel better. They thank grandpa. They hug him. They go inside. They have hot chocolate. They wait for the next snow day. +Tom and Anna liked to read books. They had many books in their room. They kept their books on a big bookcase. The bookcase was old and expensive. It was a gift from their grandma. + +One day, Tom and Anna were playing in their room. They wanted to get a book from the bookcase. But they pulled too hard on the shelf. The shelf broke and the books fell down. The bookcase made a loud noise. Tom and Anna were scared and sad. + +They heard their mom coming. She saw the mess and the broken bookcase. She was angry and worried. She said, "What did you do? This bookcase was very expensive. It was from your grandma. How will we repair it?" + +Tom and Anna felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to read a book. We did not mean to break the bookcase. Can you help us repair it?" + +Mom sighed. She said, "I don't know if we can repair it. It is very old and fragile. We need to find someone who knows how to fix it. But first, we need to clean up this mess. Come on, help me pick up the books and put them in a box." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They helped their mom clean up the room. They hoped they could find a way to repair the bookcase. They loved their books and their grandma. They did not want to lose them. +Tim and Mia were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big house with a garden full of flowers. They wanted to pick some flowers for their mom, but they did not know that the house belonged to a witch. + +The witch was very mean and did not like children. She saw Tim and Mia from her window and got very angry. She grabbed her broom and flew out to catch them. "Stop! You naughty children! How dare you touch my flowers! I will turn you into frogs!" she shouted. + +Tim and Mia were very scared and ran away. They saw a pond and jumped in to hide. The witch followed them and tried to find them. She flew over the pond and looked down. She did not see them, but she saw her own face in the water. She was very ugly and had a big nose and warts. She hated her face and got very sad. + +She did not notice that Tim and Mia had climbed out of the pond and ran back to the woods. They were very wet and cold, but they were happy to escape. They learned a lesson: they should not take things that are not theirs, and they should be careful of strangers. + +The witch was still looking at the water and crying. She did not see that her broom had fallen into the pond and was soaking. She learned a lesson too: she should not be so mean and selfish, and she should be happy with herself. +Lily was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with. She liked to go to the park and look at the flowers and the birds. But she was not happy. + +One day, she saw a big cone on the ground. It was brown and hard and had many spikes. Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the cone. She thought it might be fun. + +She walked to the cone and reached out her hand. But as soon as she touched the cone, she felt a sharp pain. The cone was not fun. It was a porcupine. It had many needles that hurt Lily's hand. + +Lily screamed and cried. She ran away from the cone. She looked for her mom. But her mom was not there. She had left Lily alone in the park. She had forgotten about Lily. + +Lily was scared and sad. She had no one to help her. She had no one to love her. She was a lonely girl. And she had a bad ending. +Ben and Lily liked to ride their bikes in the park. They had red bikes with pedals and bells. They wore helmets and gloves to be safe. One day, they saw a big hill in the park. Ben wanted to go up the hill, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, it will be fun!" Ben said. "We can go fast and see the whole park from the top!" + +"No, Ben, it is too high and steep. I don't want to fall and hurt myself. Let's go somewhere else." Lily said. + +Ben was sad. He wanted to try the hill, but he did not want to leave Lily alone. He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea. + +"Look, Lily, there is a bench over there. You can sit on the bench and watch me go up the hill. I will be back soon, I promise. And if you get scared, you can ring your bell and I will come to you." Ben said. + +Lily looked at the bench. It was near the hill, but not too close. It was in the shade of a big tree. It looked comfortable and safe. She nodded. + +"Okay, Ben, I will sit on the bench. But be careful and don't go too fast. And come back soon." Lily said. + +Ben smiled. He gave Lily a hug and a kiss. He got on his bike and pedaled hard. He went up the hill, feeling the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He reached the top and looked around. He saw the park, the lake, the flowers, and the birds. He also saw Lily on the bench, waving at him. He waved back and rang his bell. He felt happy and proud. + +He went down the hill, more slowly and carefully. He stopped near the bench and got off his bike. He ran to Lily and hugged her. + +"I did it, Lily, I did it! It was so fun and beautiful! Thank you for waiting for me!" Ben said. + +Lily hugged him back. She was glad that he was back and that he had fun. She was also proud of him for being brave and strong. + +"You're welcome, Ben. I'm happy for you. You did a great job!" Lily said. + +They got on their bikes and rode away. They looked for another place to play. They were both happy and comfortable. They knew that they had each other, and that they were always available for each other. They were the best friends in the world. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red fruits on it. They wanted to try the fruits, so they climbed the tree and picked some. + +"Look, Lily, these fruits are so pretty and shiny!" Ben said. + +"Let's eat them, Ben, they must be yummy!" Lily said. + +They took a big bite of the fruits, but they spat them out right away. The fruits were very bitter and made their mouths hurt. + +"Yuck, these fruits are bad, Ben, they are not yummy at all!" Lily said. + +"Let's throw them away, Lily, they are not good for us!" Ben said. + +They threw the fruits on the ground and climbed down the tree. They saw an old man sitting on a bench nearby. He was smiling at them. + +"Hello, children, do you know what fruits you picked?" he asked. + +"No, sir, we don't know, we just wanted to try them," Ben said. + +"Those are not fruits, children, those are crab apples. They are not meant to be eaten, they are very bitter and sour. They are only good for making jam or cider, but you need to add sugar and cook them first," he said. + +"Oh, we didn't know that, sir, we are sorry," Lily said. + +"That's okay, children, you didn't mean any harm. But you should be careful when you pick fruits from trees. Some fruits are good for you, but some fruits are bad for you. You should always ask someone who knows before you eat them," he said. + +"Thank you, sir, for teaching us that. We will be more careful next time," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, children, I'm glad you learned something today. Now, why don't you go and play with the other fruits in the park? There are some apples, pears, and plums that are sweet and juicy. You can eat them and enjoy them," he said. + +"Thank you, sir, we will do that. Bye, sir!" Ben and Lily said. + +They ran to the other trees and picked some good fruits. They ate them and shared them with their friends. They were happy and grateful. They learned that not all fruits are the same, and that they should always ask before they eat. They also learned that the old man was very kind and wise, and that they should respect and listen to him. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that had many tracks and cars. They liked to display their train set on the floor and make it go around and around. + +One day, their mom called them for dinner. She had made soup and bread and salad, and she wanted them to eat well. She said, "Ben and Lily, come to the table. It's time for dinner. You can play with your train set later." + +But Ben and Lily did not want to stop playing. They were stubborn and said, "No, mom. We want to play. We don't like soup and bread and salad. We want to display our train set." + +Their mom was not happy. She said, "Ben and Lily, you are being rude and naughty. You have to eat your dinner. It's good for you. If you don't come to the table, I will take away your train set." + +But Ben and Lily did not listen. They said, "No, mom. You can't take away our train set. It's ours. We want to display it. We don't care about dinner." + +Their mom was very angry. She said, "Fine. If you don't care about dinner, then you don't care about your train set either. I will take it away and put it in the closet. You can have it back when you learn to behave." + +She went to the floor and picked up the train set. She put it in a big box and carried it to the closet. She locked the closet and said, "There. Now you have no train set and no dinner. Maybe you will think about what you did and say sorry." + +Ben and Lily were shocked and sad. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wanted their train set and their dinner. They wanted their mom to be happy. They ran to the closet and tried to open it, but it was locked. They cried and cried and said, "Mom, please. We are sorry. We want our train set and our dinner. Please forgive us." + +But their mom did not hear them. She had gone to her room and closed the door. She was too upset to talk to them. She did not want to see them or hear them. She wanted them to learn their lesson. + +Ben and Lily were alone and hungry and sorry. They had no train set and no dinner. They had no mom to hug them and kiss them. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to bake cookies with their mom. One day, they made a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and put them on a plate to cool. Mom said they could each have one cookie after lunch, but not more. + +Lily and Tom were very hungry and wanted to eat the cookies right away. They looked at the plate and saw that there were twelve cookies. Lily had an idea. She whispered to Tom, "Let's take one cookie each and hide them under our pillows. Then we can eat them later and mom won't know." + +Tom thought that was a good idea. He nodded and followed Lily. They each took a cookie and ran to their room. They lifted their pillows and put the cookies there. Then they went back to the kitchen and acted like nothing happened. + +Mom made lunch and called them to the table. They ate their sandwiches and drank their milk. Then mom said, "Now you can have your cookies. Go and get one each from the plate." + +Lily and Tom smiled and ran to the plate. But when they got there, they saw that there were only eight cookies left. Four cookies had disappeared! + +They looked at each other and felt scared. They wondered who took their cookies. They thought maybe it was their dog, Spot, or their dad, who was working in his office. They felt sorry for themselves and envious of whoever ate their cookies. + +They went back to mom and said, "Mom, someone took our cookies. There are only eight left. Can we have another one?" + +Mom looked at them and shook her head. She said, "No, you can't have another one. You already had one each. I saw you take them and hide them under your pillows. You were sneaky and greedy. You should have waited and shared with your family. Now you have no cookies and no sugar for your teeth. That's what happens when you are dishonest and envious. You lose what you have and make others unhappy." + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed and sad. They realized they had made a mistake. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't do it again. We'll be honest and generous from now on." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, be patient and grateful for what you have. And don't hide cookies under your pillows. They will get stale and attract ants." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. Thank you for teaching us." + +They went to their room and threw away their cookies. They decided to make new cookies with mom the next day and share them with their dad and Spot. They felt happier and wiser. They learned that honesty and generosity are better than dishonesty and envy. +Tom and Lily were very hungry. They had played a lot in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot was hungry too. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. + +Mom called them from the kitchen. "Dinner is ready! Come and eat!" She had made their favorite food: pizza and salad. Tom and Lily ran to the table and sat down. Spot followed them and lay down under the table. + +Mom cut the pizza into slices and gave them to Tom and Lily. They took big bites and chewed with their mouths closed. The pizza was incredible. It had cheese and tomato and ham and pineapple. Tom and Lily loved it. They said, "Thank you, Mom. This is the best pizza ever!" + +Mom smiled and gave them some salad. It had lettuce and carrot and cucumber and cheese. Tom and Lily ate the salad too. They liked the crunchy and fresh taste. They said, "Thank you, Mom. This is a very good salad!" + +Mom was happy to see them enjoy their dinner. She said, "You're welcome, my darlings. I'm glad you like it. You ate very well. Do you want some dessert?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They still had some room for dessert. Mom brought them some ice cream and cookies. They were delicious. Tom and Lily ate them slowly and savored every bite. They said, "Thank you, Mom. This is a wonderful dessert!" + +Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you very much. Now, let's give Spot some dinner too. He has been a good dog. He deserves a treat." + +Tom and Lily agreed. They gave Spot some dog food and some pizza crusts. Spot wagged his tail and ate them happily. He said, "Woof, woof. Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Mom. This is an incredible dinner!" +Mia and Leo were playing in the backyard. They had a big box of crayons and some paper. They wanted to make original pictures for their mom and dad. + +Mia drew a flower with many colors. She liked how it looked. She showed it to Leo. "Look, Leo, I made a flower. Do you like it?" + +Leo nodded. He liked Mia's flower. He wanted to make something different. He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea. He drew a flame with red and orange crayons. He made it big and bright. He showed it to Mia. "Look, Mia, I made a flame. Do you like it?" + +Mia gasped. She did not like Leo's flame. She was scared of fire. She thought it was dangerous. She shook her head. "No, Leo, I don't like it. It is too hot. It can hurt us. You should not draw fire." + +Leo frowned. He did not understand why Mia was scared. He thought his flame was cool. He wanted to show it to their mom and dad. He said, "No, Mia, it is not too hot. It is just a picture. It can not hurt us. I want to show it to mom and dad. They will like it." + +Mia and Leo started to argue. They raised their voices. They did not listen to each other. They were angry and sad. + +Their mom heard them from the kitchen. She came to the backyard. She saw their pictures and their faces. She knew they were fighting. She said, "Mia, Leo, what is going on? Why are you yelling at each other?" + +Mia and Leo stopped arguing. They looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They did not want to make their mom upset. They said, "Sorry, mom." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "It's okay. I know you both love each other. You just have different opinions. You don't have to like the same things. You can appreciate each other's creativity. You both made original pictures. They are beautiful. Can I see them?" + +Mia and Leo nodded. They knelt down and showed their pictures to their mom. Their mom praised them for their work. She hugged them and kissed them. She said, "I love you both. And I love your pictures. Can I hang them on the fridge?" + +Mia and Leo smiled. They felt happy and proud. They said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you too." +Ben and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat some food. They went to the kitchen and looked for something yummy. + +They saw a big jar on the counter. It had a label on it. The label said "Cookies". Ben and Mia liked cookies. They wanted to eat some. + +But the jar was too high for them. They could not reach it. They tried to climb on a chair, but it was too wobbly. They tried to jump, but it was too far. They tried to ask for help, but no one was there. + +They were sad and hungry. They started to cry. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Mom. She came into the kitchen and saw them. She asked, "What's wrong, my sweeties?" + +Ben and Mia pointed to the jar. They said, "Cookies! We want cookies!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Oh, I see. You are hungry for cookies. Well, I can provide you some. But first, you have to wash your hands and say please." + +Ben and Mia nodded and did what Mom said. They washed their hands and said, "Please, Mom, can we have some cookies?" + +Mom opened the jar and gave them each a cookie. They said, "Thank you, Mom, you are the best!" + +They ate their cookies and felt happy. They were not hungry anymore. They gave Mom a kiss and a hug. They said, "We love you, Mom!" + +Mom said, "I love you too, my sweeties!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big black bird in the sky. It had long wings and a sharp beak. It was a crow. + +"Look, Ben, a crow!" Lily said. "It can soar high and fast. I wish I could soar like that." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can pretend we are crows. Let's flap our arms and make noises." + +They flapped their arms and cawed like crows. They ran around the park, pretending to soar. They had fun. + +They saw a big building with many windows and towers. It was a palace. It was where the king and queen lived. They had guards and horses and jewels. + +"Wow, Ben, a palace!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and shiny. I wish I could live in a palace like that." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can pretend we are the king and queen. Let's wear crowns and wave to the people." + +They found some leaves and flowers and made crowns. They put them on their heads and waved to the other children. They had fun. + +They saw a big black car with a driver and a lady. It was a limousine. It was where the lady went to work. She had a suit and a bag and a phone. + +"Look, Lily, a limousine!" Ben said. "It is so smooth and fast. I wish I could ride in a limousine like that." + +"Me too," Lily said. "Maybe we can pretend we are the lady and the driver. Let's sit in the car and talk on the phone." + +They ran to the car and opened the door. They sat in the back seat and picked up the phone. They had fun. + +But they did not see the lady coming back. She was angry and surprised. She shouted at them. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing in my car? Get out of there right now!" + +Lily and Ben were scared and sorry. They dropped the phone and got out of the car. They ran back to the park. + +They learned a lesson. They could pretend to be anything they wanted, but they could not take what was not theirs. They said sorry to the lady and to each other. + +They decided to play something else. They liked to soar, to live in a palace, and to ride in a limousine, but they liked to be themselves more. They had fun. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a secret path that led to a big tree with a hole. They liked to hide in the hole and pretend they were pirates or spies. + +One day, they saw a small bird on the ground. It had a broken wing and could not fly. Tom and Sam felt sorry for the bird and wanted to help it. They picked it up gently and put it in a shoe box. They decided to take it to their hole and keep it as a pet. + +But on the way, they met a big dog. The dog was mean and hungry. It saw the box and smelled the bird. It barked and ran towards Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam were scared and ran away. They dropped the box and the bird. + +The dog reached the box and tore it open. It grabbed the bird and ate it. It was a disgusting sight. Tom and Sam heard the bird's cry and turned around. They saw the dog and the blood. They felt sad and angry. They wished they could rescue the bird, but it was too late. The dog had killed it. + +They ran back to their home and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said she was sorry. She said they tried to do a good thing, but sometimes bad things happen. She said they should not go to the woods alone anymore. She said the dog was dangerous and could hurt them too. + +Tom and Sam nodded and cried. They missed their bird and their hole. They learned a hard lesson that day. They wished they could change the past, but they could not. The end. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to pretend. They pretended they were brave knights and princesses, or pirates and mermaids, or astronauts and aliens. + +One day, they decided to pretend they were fairy-tale heroes. Sara said, "I will be Little Red Riding Hood, and you will be the Big Bad Wolf. You have to chase me to Grandma's house, and I have to bring her a basket of food." + +Tom nodded and said, "OK, but where is Grandma's house?" + +Sara pointed to a big tree with a hole in it. She said, "That is Grandma's house. But be careful, there is a witch inside. She is very mean and scary. She wants to eat us." + +Tom said, "A witch? How do you know?" + +Sara said, "I saw her yesterday. She had a black hat, a long nose, and a big wart. She also had a broom and a cat. She looked at me and said, 'I will get you, my pretty, and your little dog too.'" + +Tom said, "But you don't have a dog." + +Sara said, "I know, but she said it anyway. Maybe she was confused. Come on, let's play." + +Sara took a basket with some bread and cheese and ran to the tree. Tom followed her, growling and howling. Sara was a little anxious, but she also had fun. She knocked on the tree and said, "Grandma, it's me, Little Red Riding Hood. I brought you some food." + +But the voice that answered was not Grandma's. It was the witch's. She said, "Come in, my dear. I have a surprise for you." + +Sara was very anxious now. She did not want to go inside. She looked at Tom and whispered, "Help me, please. It's the witch." + +Tom said, "Don't worry, I will save you. I will pretend I am a good wolf, and I will scare the witch away." + +Tom ran to the tree and barked loudly. He said, "Witch, witch, go away. Leave Little Red Riding Hood alone. She is my friend, and I will protect her." + +The witch was surprised and afraid. She did not like wolves. She said, "Oh no, a wolf. Go away, you nasty beast. Leave me and my cat alone." + +She grabbed her broom and her cat and flew out of the tree. She said, "I will be back, you little brats. You will pay for this." + +Sara and Tom laughed and hugged. They were happy and proud. They said, "We did it. We scared the witch away. We are fairy-tale heroes." + +They ate the bread and cheese and played some more. They did not see the witch again. They had a lot of fun. +One day, a little boy and his dog were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and big wings. The bird was in a cage. The boy and his dog felt sorry for the bird. They wanted to help the bird escape. + +They looked around and saw a man with a hat and a coat. The man was holding a key. He was the bird's owner. He was not nice. He was terrible. He shouted at the bird and hit the cage. The boy and his dog did not like the man. + +They waited until the man was not looking. Then they ran to the cage and opened it with the key. The bird was happy. It thanked the boy and his dog. It flew out of the cage and into the sky. It wanted to go back to its land, where it had friends and family. + +The man saw the bird fly away. He was angry. He chased the boy and his dog. He wanted to catch them and put them in a cage too. The boy and his dog were scared. They ran as fast as they could. + +They saw a bridge over a river. They crossed the bridge and cut the ropes. The bridge fell into the water. The man could not follow them. He was stuck on the other side. He yelled and shook his fist. The boy and his dog were safe. They smiled and hugged. They had helped the bird escape. They were happy. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play and have fun. One day, they visit Max's grandma. Grandma is very old and grumpy. She does not like noise or mess. + +"Hello, Grandma," Lily and Max say. "We are here to visit you." + +"Hello, children," Grandma says. "But don't touch anything. And don't make any noise. I need to rest." + +Lily and Max are sad. They want to play and have fun. They look around the room. They see a radio. They turn it on. They hear music. They start to dance. + +"Dance, dance, dance!" Lily and Max sing. "We love to dance and have fun!" + +Grandma hears the noise. She gets up from her bed. She sees Lily and Max dancing. She is angry. + +"Stop that noise!" Grandma shouts. "Turn off that radio! How dare you dance in my room!" + +Lily and Max are scared. They turn off the radio. They stop dancing. They say sorry to Grandma. + +"We are sorry, Grandma," Lily and Max say. "We just wanted to have fun." + +Grandma looks at Lily and Max. She sees their sad faces. She feels sorry for them. She remembers when she was young and liked to dance. She smiles. + +"It's okay, children," Grandma says. "I was too grumpy. I forgot how to have fun. Maybe you can teach me how to dance." + +Lily and Max are happy. They turn on the radio again. They hold Grandma's hands. They dance together. + +"Dance, dance, dance!" Lily and Max sing. "We love to dance and have fun!" + +Grandma laughs. She dances with Lily and Max. She feels young and happy. + +"Dance, dance, dance!" Grandma sings. "I love to dance and have fun!" +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. But they did not like to tidy up their toys when they were done. + +One day, Mom came home from work and saw the mess in the living room. She was not happy. She said to Tom and Lily, "You have to tidy up your toys right now. If you don't, I will put them in jail." + +Tom and Lily did not want their toys to go to jail. They loved their toys. They started to tidy up their toys. But they were not very fast. They still wanted to play with their toys. + +Mom saw that they were not tidying up well. She said, "You are not listening to me. You are being naughty. I will count to three. If you don't tidy up by then, your toys will go to jail. One, two, three." + +Tom and Lily were scared. They tried to grab their toys and put them in the toy box. But they were too late. Mom took their toys and put them in a big bag. She said, "These toys are going to jail. You can't play with them until you learn to be tidy." + +Tom and Lily were sad. They cried and said, "No, Mom, please don't take our toys. We are sorry. We will be tidy. Please give us our toys back." + +But Mom did not give them their toys back. She said, "You have to earn your toys back. You have to show me that you can be tidy. You have to help me with the chores. You have to say sorry to each other. You have to be good." + +Tom and Lily did not like this. They did not want to do chores. They did not want to say sorry. They did not want to be good. They wanted their toys. They were angry. They started to tear the bag that had their toys. They wanted to free their toys from jail. + +But Mom saw what they were doing. She was very angry. She said, "Stop that right now. You are making things worse. You are tearing the bag. You are making a bigger mess. You are being very bad. You are going to time out." + +Mom took Tom and Lily to their room. She said, "You have to stay in your room until you calm down. You have to think about what you did. You have to say sorry to me and to each other. You have to promise to be tidy and good. Then maybe you can get your toys back." + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They did not like time out. They did not like their room. They did not have any toys. They did not have any fun. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had tidied up their toys. They wished they had not torn the bag. They wished they had been good. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. But they do not like to share their toys. They often fight and yell. + +One day, Mom is very busy. She has to work on her laptop. She tells Lily and Tom to be quiet. She says she has an important meeting. + +But Lily and Tom do not listen. They want to play with the same truck. They pull and tug and scream. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She is very angry. She stops her meeting. She comes to their room. She says, "I hate this noise! You are very naughty! You make me very anxious! Go to your beds now!" + +Lily and Tom are very sad. They do not want to go to their beds. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to make noise. We just wanted to play." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know, but you have to share and be nice. And you have to respect me when I work. Noise is not good for work. Can you promise to be quiet and good?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "We promise, Mom. We love you." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too. Now, go to your beds and take a nap. I will finish my work and then we can play together." + +Lily and Tom hug Mom. They go to their beds. They are quiet and good. Mom goes back to her laptop. She is happy and calm. +Emma and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. + +One day, they decide to prepare a tea party for their stuffed animals. They take out their cups and plates and pretend to pour tea and serve cake. They talk to their animals and ask them how they like the tea. + +"Mr. Bear, do you want more sugar?" Emma asks. + +"Yes, please. This is lovely tea," Mr. Bear says. + +"Miss Bunny, do you want more cake?" Ben asks. + +"No, thank you. I am full. This is lovely cake," Miss Bunny says. + +They have fun for a long time. Then they feel tired and want to take a nap. They put their animals on the bed and make them cozy with pillows and blankets. They kiss them good night and lie down next to them. + +"Good night, Mr. Bear and Miss Bunny," Emma says. + +"Good night, Emma and Ben," the animals say. + +They close their eyes and dream of lovely tea parties. +Anna and Ben were playing near the river. They saw a bridge that crossed the water. The bridge was old and broken. Some of the wood was missing and some was rotten. + +"Let's go over the bridge!" Ben said. He liked to explore new places. + +Anna felt nervous. She did not like the bridge. It looked unsafe and scary. "No, Ben, it's too dangerous!" she said. "We might fall in the water!" + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the bridge and stepped on it. The bridge made a loud creak. Anna screamed. She saw Ben lose his balance and grab the railing. But the railing was weak and it broke. Ben fell into the river with a splash. + +Anna was very scared. She ran to the edge of the bridge and looked down. She saw Ben in the water. He was wet and cold and crying. "Help me, Anna!" he shouted. + +Anna wanted to help Ben. But she did not know how. She looked around and saw a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and held it out to Ben. "Grab this, Ben!" she said. + +Ben saw the stick and reached for it. He grabbed it and Anna pulled him up. She helped him get out of the water and hugged him. "Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben nodded. He was shivering and sobbing. "I'm sorry, Anna," he said. "I was silly. I should have listened to you. The bridge was bad." + +Anna smiled. She was glad Ben was safe. "It's okay, Ben," she said. "We can go home and get dry and warm. And maybe we can find someone who can restore the bridge. Then it will be good and strong again." +Lila and Ben like to play in the park. They see many trees and flowers and birds. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they find a huge leaf on the ground. It is bigger than Lila's head. It is green and yellow and red. Lila and Ben think it is very pretty. + +They pick up the huge leaf and hold it together. They pretend it is a cape or a boat or a hat. They make funny noises and faces. They are very happy. + +But then, Lila's mom calls her name. She says it is time to go home. Lila and Ben are sad. They do not want to leave the park. They do not want to leave the huge leaf. + +Lila and Ben hug each other and say goodbye. They say they will come back to the park soon. They say they will play with the huge leaf again. + +Lila and Ben leave the park with their moms. They wave to each other and smile. They still hold the huge leaf in their hands. They think it is very special. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big green bird in the sky. The bird can fly very fast and very high. Lily and Ben want to fly too. + +"Look, Ben, the bird is flying!" Lily says. + +"I want to fly like the bird!" Ben says. + +They run and jump and flap their arms, but they cannot fly. They fall down and get dirty. They are sad and angry. + +"Fly, fly, fly!" they shout. + +The bird hears them and flies down. It lands on a tree near them. It has some food in its beak. It is a worm. + +"Hello, little ones. Why are you shouting?" the bird asks. + +"We want to fly like you!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Fly? But you are not birds. You are children. You have no wings, no feathers, no beak. You cannot fly," the bird says. + +"But we want to fly! It looks so fun!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Fly is not always fun. Fly is also hard. Fly is also dangerous. There are bigger birds, and cats, and dogs, and cars. They can hurt me. They can take my food. Sometimes I wish I could walk like you," the bird says. + +"Walk? But walk is boring. Walk is slow. Walk is easy. We can walk anywhere. We want to fly!" Lily and Ben say. + +The bird shakes its head. It does not understand them. It flies away with its food. + +Lily and Ben watch it go. They are still sad and angry. They do not want to walk. They want to fly. +Ben and Mia liked to play with trains. They had many trains of different colors and sizes. They also had a big station where the trains could stop and go. They made noises like "choo-choo" and "beep-beep" as they moved the trains along the tracks. + +One day, they found a new train in their toy box. It was shiny and red, and it had a number on it. "Look, Mia, a new train!" Ben said. "Can I play with it?" + +Mia nodded. "Sure, Ben. It looks fun. But where does it belong? It does not match our other trains." + +Ben shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it came from another station. Maybe it got lost. Let's try it on our tracks and see." + +They put the red train on their tracks and pushed it gently. It rolled smoothly and quietly. It did not make any noises like their other trains. It seemed peaceful and happy. + +"Wow, it's a nice train," Mia said. "It's so quiet and calm. I like it." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs with us. Maybe we can keep it and make it our friend." + +They smiled and hugged the red train. They decided to name it Ruby. They played with Ruby and their other trains for a long time. They had fun and shared their toys. They felt peaceful and happy too. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big map in the library. The map shows many countries. Tom and Anna want to learn about the countries. + +"Look, this is China," Tom says. "It is very big and far away." + +"What do they do in China?" Anna asks. + +"They eat rice and noodles. They have funny animals like pandas and dragons," Tom says. + +"I want to see a panda. They are so cute and fluffy," Anna says. + +"Me too. Maybe we can go to China one day," Tom says. + +They look at other countries on the map. They see France, Australia, Egypt, and more. They learn new words and facts. They have fun. + +"Time to go home, kids," the librarian says. "You can come back tomorrow and see more countries." + +"Can we take the map with us?" Tom asks. + +"I'm sorry, you can't. The map belongs to the library. But you can borrow a book about countries if you want," the librarian says. + +"OK, thank you," Tom and Anna say. + +They choose a book about countries. They say goodbye to the librarian and the map. They walk home with their parents. + +"Did you have fun at the library?" Tom's mom asks. + +"Yes, we did. We saw a map of the world. We learned about many countries. They are all different and interesting," Tom says. + +"That's great. Maybe you can visit some of them when you grow up," Tom's mom says. + +"Can we go to China and see a panda?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe. If you work hard and save money, you can travel to many places. But you have to ask me first. I have to allow you to go," Tom's mom says. + +"OK, mom. I will ask you. And I will ask Anna too. She is my best friend. We want to see the world together," Tom says. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They dream about the countries they want to see. They read the book about countries. They smile and laugh. They are curious and adventurous. They are friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to pick fruits from the trees. There were apples, oranges, bananas and pears. + +One day, they saw a huge pear on a high branch. It was bigger than their heads. They wanted to eat it, but they could not reach it. They tried to climb the tree, but it was too hard. They tried to throw a stick, but it was too far. They tried to ask their mom, but she was busy. + +They paused and thought. How could they get the huge pear? They looked around and saw a ladder. It was leaning on the wall. They had an idea. They ran to the ladder and dragged it to the tree. They were careful not to fall. They put the ladder against the tree and climbed up. They were almost there. + +They reached for the huge pear. It was heavy and juicy. They pulled it off the branch and held it together. They were so happy. They climbed down the ladder and ran to their mom. They showed her the huge pear and asked if they could share it. She smiled and said yes. She cut the huge pear into four pieces and gave them each one. They ate the huge pear and it was sweet and yummy. They thanked their mom and hugged each other. They had a good day. +Tommy likes to play with his toy trumpet. He blows it hard and makes loud noises. He thinks he is powerful and strong. He likes to pretend he is a king or a lion or a superhero. + +One day, he sees a real trumpet in his uncle's house. He wants to play with it, but his uncle says no. He says the trumpet is not a toy, but a musical instrument. He says Tommy has to learn how to play it properly, or he will make bad sounds and hurt his ears. + +Tommy is curious and asks his uncle to teach him. His uncle agrees and shows him how to hold the trumpet, how to move his lips and how to press the buttons. He tells him to blow gently and listen to the notes. He says the trumpet can make beautiful music, but also powerful sounds, if he knows how to use it. + +Tommy tries to follow his uncle's instructions. He blows the trumpet and makes some noises. Some are high, some are low, some are smooth, some are rough. He likes the different sounds, but he does not know how to make them on purpose. He asks his uncle to help him. + +His uncle smiles and says he is doing well for a beginner. He says learning the trumpet takes time and practice. He says he will teach him more if he comes to visit again. He says he is proud of Tommy for wanting to learn something new. + +Tommy is happy and thanks his uncle. He says he likes the trumpet and wants to learn more. He says he wants to make beautiful and powerful music, like his uncle. He says he loves his uncle and his trumpet. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bell in the park. It is very shiny and has a rope. + +"Can we ring the bell?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, let's ring the bell!" Ben says. + +They pull the rope together. The bell makes a loud sound. DING DONG DING DONG! + +They laugh and clap. They ring the bell again and again. + +But then, they see a man coming. He is wearing a dark coat and a hat. He looks angry. + +"Hey, stop ringing the bell!" he shouts. "This is my bell! I use it to read poems!" + +He runs to the bell and takes the rope. He glares at Ben and Lily. + +"Go away, you naughty kids!" he says. "You are making too much noise!" + +Ben and Lily are scared. They run away from the man and the bell. They go back to their mom. + +"Mom, we found a big bell in the park!" Lily says. + +"But a dark man came and yelled at us!" Ben says. + +Their mom hugs them and kisses them. + +"Don't worry, my loves," she says. "He is just a grumpy old poet. He likes to read poems to the bell. But he doesn't like to share." + +"Maybe he needs a friend," Lily says. + +"Maybe he needs a hug," Ben says. + +"Maybe he needs a new poem," their mom says. "A poem about kindness and joy." + +They smile and nod. They think of a poem for the dark man and the bell. They write it on a paper and fold it into a plane. They throw it to the park. They hope he will find it and like it. They hope he will ring the bell with a happy sound. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But today, the sun is hiding behind the clouds. Ben and Lily are sad. + +They want to see the sun. They want to feel the sun. They want to make shadows with the sun. They ask their mom, "Where is the sun, mom?" + +Mom says, "The sun is still there, but it is hiding. Sometimes, the sun needs a break. It will come back soon. Do you want to do something else while we wait for the sun?" + +Ben and Lily think. They look around the house. They see their toys, their books, their crayons. They see their dog, Spot. They see their dad, who is working on his laptop. + +They have an idea. They say, "We want to make a sun, mom. We want to make a sun with our crayons. We want to make a sun for dad. We want to make a sun for Spot. We want to make a sun for us." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is a great idea. You can make a sun with your crayons. But be careful. Do not draw on the walls. Do not draw on the furniture. Do not draw on the dog. Do not draw on dad. Only draw on the paper." + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "OK, mom. We will be careful. We will only draw on the paper." They get their crayons and their paper. They start to draw. They draw a big, yellow circle. They draw orange rays. They draw a happy face. They draw a sun. + +They show their sun to mom. They show their sun to dad. They show their sun to Spot. They are proud of their sun. They say, "Look, we made a sun. We made a sun with our crayons. We made a sun for you. We made a sun for us." + +Mom, dad, and Spot are happy. They say, "Wow, you made a sun. You made a sun with your crayons. You made a sun for us. You made a sun for you. You are very clever. You are very creative. You are very kind. We love your sun. We love you." + +Ben and Lily are happy. They hug mom, dad, and Spot. They say, "We love you too. We love our sun. We love our crayons. We love our paper. We love our family." + +They put their sun on the window. They hope the sun will see it. They hope the sun will come back soon. They hope the sun will be happy too. +Tommy loved to play with his toy plane. He liked to make it soar in the air and pretend he was a pilot. He liked to say "Zoom, zoom, zoom!" and make loud noises. + +One day, he saw a big bird outside his window. It was a hawk, with brown feathers and sharp claws. It soared in the sky, looking for food. Tommy was amazed by the bird. He wanted to talk to it. + +He opened the window and waved his toy plane. He shouted, "Hello, bird! Do you want to play with me? I have a plane. It is fancy and fast. You can soar with it." + +The hawk heard Tommy and flew closer. It saw the toy plane and thought it was a snack. It swooped down and grabbed the plane with its talons. It flew away with the plane, leaving Tommy behind. + +Tommy was sad and angry. He cried, "Hey, bird! That is my plane! Give it back! You are mean and rude. You hurt my spirit." + +But the hawk did not care. It soared higher and higher, enjoying its prize. It did not know what a spirit was. It only knew how to hunt and survive. It did not want to play with Tommy. It wanted to eat. +Tim and Lily liked to play pretend. They had many costumes and toys to make their games fun. One day, they decided to play spies. Tim wore a black suit and a hat. Lily wore a colorful dress and a necklace. They had walkie-talkies to talk to each other. + +They pretended that Tim was a good spy and Lily was a bad spy. They hid behind the couch and the table and tried to catch each other. Tim said, "Lily, you are a naughty spy. You stole the secret map. Give it back or I will catch you." Lily said, "No, Tim. You are a silly spy. You will never find me. I will keep the map and rule the world." + +They ran around the house, chasing and dodging. They had a lot of fun. But then, Tim saw something shiny on the floor. It was Lily's necklace. It had fallen off when she ran. Tim picked it up and smiled. He had an idea. He said into his walkie-talkie, "Lily, I have your necklace. It is very pretty. If you want it back, you have to surrender and give me the map." + +Lily heard Tim's voice and stopped. She liked her necklace. It was a gift from her grandma. She did not want to lose it. She said, "Tim, where are you? I want my necklace. Please give it to me." Tim said, "I am in the kitchen. Come here and surrender. Then I will give you your necklace and the map." + +Lily thought for a moment. She did not want to surrender. She wanted to win. But she also wanted her necklace. She decided to be smart. She said, "OK, Tim. I will surrender. I am coming to the kitchen. But you have to promise to be nice and share the map with me." Tim said, "OK, Lily. I promise. Come and surrender." + +Lily walked to the kitchen. She saw Tim holding her necklace and the map. She smiled and said, "Tim, you are a good spy. You found my necklace. Thank you for giving it back to me." She reached for the necklace. But as soon as she touched it, she pulled it hard and ran away. She said, "Ha ha, Tim. I tricked you. I did not surrender. I still have the map. You are a silly spy. You have to catch me again." + +Tim was surprised and angry. He said, "Lily, you are a naughty spy. You lied to me. You did not surrender.

They like to run and jump and slide. But Ben falls down and hurts his knee. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Lily runs to him and says, "Don't cry, Ben. I will help you." She finds a bandage in her backpack and puts it on his knee. She says, "There, there. This will make it better." + +Ben stops crying and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." He smiles and says, "Can we play some more?" + +Lily says, "Yes, we can. But be careful, OK? We don't want more boo-boos." + +They hold hands and go back to play. They have fun and are happy. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to look for bugs and animals. They saw a big hill with many ants on it. They wanted to see who could find the biggest ant. + +"Let's race to the hill!" Lily said. "The first one to find the biggest ant wins!" + +"OK!" Max said. "Ready, set, go!" + +They ran as fast as they could to the hill. They looked at the ants crawling on the dirt. They were black and shiny and had six legs. Some of them carried leaves or crumbs. + +"I found one!" Lily shouted. She pointed to an ant that was bigger than the others. It had a red head and a black body. + +"No, I found one!" Max shouted. He pointed to another ant that was bigger than Lily's. It had a yellow head and a brown body. + +They both ran to their ants and tried to pick them up. But the ants were rough and tickled their fingers. They also bit them with their tiny mouths. + +"Ow!" Lily said. She dropped her ant and rubbed her finger. + +"Ow!" Max said. He dropped his ant and rubbed his finger. + +They looked at each other and saw that they both had red marks on their fingers. They felt sorry for each other and for the ants. + +"Maybe we shouldn't race to find the biggest ant," Lily said. "Maybe we should just watch them and be nice to them." + +"Maybe you're right," Max said. "They are not toys. They are living things." + +They hugged each other and said sorry. Then they sat down and watched the ants together. They learned how the ants worked and helped each other. They saw how the ants made tunnels and bridges and nests. They thought the ants were amazing and smart. + +They forgot about the race and had fun. They were happy and so were the ants. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Tim has a big truck. Sam has a small car. Tim thinks his truck is better than Sam's car. + +One day, Tim says to Sam, "My truck has more power than your car. Your car is weak. I can touch your car and make it stop." Tim laughs and touches Sam's car with his truck. Sam's car falls over. + +Sam is sad and angry. He says to Tim, "That is not nice. You are mean. You should not touch my car. My car is not weak. It can go fast and make noise." Sam picks up his car and turns it on. His car makes a loud beep and zooms away. + +Tim is surprised and scared. He says to Sam, "Wow, your car is loud. It has power too. I am sorry. I did not know. Can we play together?" Tim smiles and turns on his truck. His truck makes a rumble and follows Sam's car. + +Sam is happy and forgives Tim. He says to Tim, "Yes, we can play together. Your truck is cool. It has power too. We can share our toys and have fun." Sam and Tim play with their toys and laugh. They are brothers and friends. +Sara and Ben like to bounce on the big bed. They jump and laugh and make funny faces. They bounce so high that they touch the ceiling. They pretend they are birds or rockets or stars. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is the fire alarm. They see smoke coming from the kitchen. They are scared and confused. They do not know what to do. + +"Come on, Sara, we have to go!" Ben says. He grabs Sara's hand and runs to the door. He remembers what his mom told him. "If there is smoke, get out and stay out. Go to the big tree and wait for me." + +They run outside and see the big tree. They also see their mom and dad. They are holding a fire extinguisher and a phone. They look worried and angry. + +"Mom, Dad, what happened?" Sara asks. + +"There was a small fire on the stove. We put it out, but it made a lot of smoke. Are you okay?" Mom says. + +"We are okay, but we are sleepy. We were bouncing on the bed," Ben says. + +"Bouncing on the bed? That's not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself. And you should never play with the fire alarm. It is for emergencies only," Dad says. + +"We are sorry, Mom, Dad. We did not mean to be bad. We were just having fun," Sara says. + +"I know, sweetie. But you have to be careful and listen to the rules. Now, let's go inside and check the house. Then, you can have a nap. You look very sleepy," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben nod and hug their parents. They are glad they are safe and loved. They learn their lesson and promise to be good. They go inside and have a nap. They dream of bouncing on the bed, but without the smoke. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a stick that looked like a weapon. Tom wanted to use it to pretend to fight bad guys, but Sam wanted to use it to draw in the dirt. They both grabbed the stick and pulled hard. + +"Give me the weapon!" Tom shouted. "No, it is mine!" Sam yelled back. They did not share or take turns. They were very angry and rude. + +A big dog saw them and ran towards them. It barked loud and showed its teeth. It wanted to take the stick from them. Tom and Sam were scared and dropped the stick. They ran away to find a safe place. + +The dog picked up the stick and wagged its tail. It was happy to have a new toy. It did not care if it was a weapon or not. It just wanted to play. + +Tom and Sam learned a lesson. They should not fight over things. They should be kind and gentle. They should refuse to use weapons to hurt others. They should use mild words to solve problems. They should be good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the swings, slide down the slide, and run in the grass. It was a sunny day, but the wind was cold. Lily wore a pink sweater that her grandma made for her. Ben wore a blue sweater that his mom bought for him. + +"Look, Lily, I can jump very high!" Ben said, as he pushed the swing with his legs. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so good at jumping!" Lily said, as she watched him fly in the air. + +"Can you jump too, Lily?" Ben asked, as he slowed down his swing. + +"I can try, Ben," Lily said, as she got ready to jump. + +But when Lily jumped, her sweater got caught on the swing. She felt a tug and a rip. She fell on the ground and started to cry. + +"Oh no, Lily, are you okay?" Ben asked, as he ran to help her. + +He saw that Lily had a small scratch on her knee, and that her sweater had a big hole in it. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, your sweater is broken," Ben said, as he hugged her. + +Lily was very sad and worried. She loved her sweater, and she didn't want grandma to be mad at her. + +"It's okay, Ben, it's not your fault," Lily said, as she sniffed. + +"Maybe we can fix it, Lily," Ben said, as he looked at the sweater. + +"Or maybe we can ask mom or grandma to fix it," Lily said, as she hoped. + +"Let's go home and show them, Lily," Ben said, as he helped her stand up. + +They held hands and walked to their houses. They hoped that mom and grandma would not be angry, and that they could still play in the park. They learned to be careful when they jump on the swings. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big egg in the garden. They wondered what was inside the egg. Maybe a bird, or a dinosaur, or a dragon. + +"I want to keep the egg," Lily said. "It is mine. I found it first." + +"No, it is mine," Ben said. "I saw it first. I want to keep the egg." + +They both pulled the egg, trying to take it from each other. They did not share. They did not listen. They did not care. They only wanted the egg. + +"Stop it!" their mom said. "You are hurting the egg. You are hurting each other. You are being selfish and mean. The egg is not yours. It belongs to someone else. You have to give it back." + +But Lily and Ben did not listen to their mom. They insisted on keeping the egg. They did not want to give it back. They did not want to be nice. They did not want to be good. + +They kept pulling the egg, harder and harder, until it cracked. The egg broke. The egg was not a bird, or a dinosaur, or a dragon. The egg was a snake. A big, angry, venomous snake. It hissed and bit them. It hurt them. It made them sick. It made them cry. + +Lily and Ben learned a hard lesson. They learned that being selfish and mean is bad. They learned that sharing and listening is good. They learned that they should respect and care for other living things. They learned that they should listen to their mom. They wished they had been happy with what they had, instead of wanting what they did not. They wished they had not broken the egg. They wished they had not met the snake. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big scale near the pond. It was for weighing ducks and geese. Lily and Ben were curious and wanted to try it. + +"Let's see how much we weigh!" Lily said. "Maybe we are as heavy as a duck!" + +"OK, you go first!" Ben said. He helped Lily climb on the scale. The scale had a big arrow that moved when Lily sat on it. The arrow pointed to a number. + +"Look, I weigh 15!" Lily said. "What does that mean?" + +"I don't know, but it sounds good!" Ben said. "Now it's my turn!" + +Ben climbed on the scale. The arrow moved again. But this time, it pointed to a different number. + +"Hey, I weigh 18!" Ben said. "I weigh more than you!" + +"So what?" Lily said. "That doesn't matter!" + +"Yes, it does!" Ben said. "It means I'm bigger and stronger and better than you!" + +"No, you're not!" Lily said. "You're just mean and rude and silly!" + +They started to argue and shout. They forgot to be friends. They pushed each other off the scale. They fell into the pond. They got wet and cold and muddy. They cried and ran away. + +They never played together again. They had a bad summer. They were different and sad. +Lila loved her blanket. It was soft and pink and had a picture of a bunny on it. She took it everywhere with her. She liked to tie it around her neck like a cape and pretend she was a superhero. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Lila had so much fun, she forgot about her blanket. She left it on a bench when she ran to chase a butterfly. + +When it was time to go home, Lila remembered her blanket. She ran back to the bench, but it was gone. She felt sad and scared. She looked around, but she could not see it anywhere. She started to cry. + +"Mommy, Daddy, where is my blanket?" she sobbed. + +Her mom and dad hugged her and tried to calm her down. They asked some people at the park if they had seen her blanket, but no one had. They told Lila they would buy her a new blanket, but she did not want a new one. She wanted her old one, with the bunny. + +Just then, a little boy came up to them. He was holding Lila's blanket. He smiled and said, "Is this yours? I found it on the bench. I thought it was pretty, so I took it. But then I saw you crying, and I felt bad. I'm sorry. Here, you can have it back." + +Lila could not believe it. She was so happy, she hugged the boy and thanked him. She took her blanket and tied it around her neck again. She felt lucky and grateful. She said to the boy, "You are very nice. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The boy nodded and said, "Sure. I like your blanket. And I like you. What is your name?" + +Lila smiled and said, "I'm Lila. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "I'm Leo. Nice to meet you, Lila." + +Lila and Leo became friends. They played together at the park, and shared their toys and snacks. Lila never forgot her blanket again. She always kept it close to her heart. She thought it was the best blanket in the world. +Sara and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a shop. Sara is the vendor and Ben is the customer. They have toys and books and snacks that they sell and buy. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing pretend in the backyard. Sara puts on a hat and a apron and says, "Welcome to my shop! What do you want to buy today?" Ben looks at the things on the box and says, "I want to buy a car and a cookie, please." + +Sara smiles and says, "That will be two dollars, please." Ben gives her two paper dollars and takes the car and the cookie. He says, "Thank you, vendor. Have a nice day." Sara says, "You're welcome, customer. Come again soon." + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot sees the car and the cookie and wants to play with them. He runs to the box and jumps on it. The box breaks and the things fall down. Spot grabs the car and the cookie and runs away. + +Sara and Ben are very surprised and sad. They look at the broken box and the mess. Sara says, "Oh no, our shop is ruined. Spot is a bad dog." Ben says, "Don't worry, Sara. We can fix it. We can get another box and more things." + +But then, they hear another noise. It is their mom. She comes to the backyard and sees the broken box and the mess. She says, "What happened here? Who made this mess?" Sara and Ben are very embarrassed. They look at each other and say, "We're sorry, mom. We were playing pretend and Spot broke our shop." + +Mom is not angry. She smiles and says, "I see. Well, playing pretend is fun, but you have to clean up after yourselves. And you have to be careful with Spot. He is a playful dog, but he doesn't know how to be a good customer." + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. We will clean up and we will teach Spot how to be a good customer." Mom helps them to clean up and to find another box and more things. They fix their shop and play pretend again. They also give Spot a bone and a ball and say, "Spot, you can play with these, but not with our shop. You have to be a good customer and pay with paper dollars, not with teeth." + +Spot wags his tail and barks. He likes the bone and the ball, but he also likes the car and the cookie. He thinks, "Maybe next time, I can become a vendor and sell them to Sara and Ben." +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a deer in a clearing. The deer was brown and had big ears and a long nose. Tom and Mia wanted to get closer to the deer, but they were afraid it would run away. + +"Let's be very quiet and walk slowly," Tom whispered to Mia. "Maybe the deer will trust us and let us pet it." + +They crept towards the deer, holding hands. The deer looked at them with big, dark eyes. It did not move or make a sound. Tom and Mia smiled and reached out their hands. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a car horn, coming from the road. The deer got scared and jumped away. It ran into the trees and disappeared. + +Tom and Mia were sad. They wanted to be friends with the deer. They hoped it would come back another day. + +They turned around and saw their mom waving at them from the car. She had come to pick them up. + +"Did you have fun in the woods?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom," Tom and Mia said. "We saw a deer, but it was shy." + +"Maybe next time, it will trust you more," mom said. "Deer are very gentle and smart animals. But they are also very careful and need time to feel safe." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They understood. They got in the car and went home. They dreamed of the deer that night. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on it. + +"Mom, can we go on the slide?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is very high and fast," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben hurry to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and scream. + +But then, Ben has a naughty idea. He wants to go down the slide backwards. He thinks it will be more fun. + +"Ben, don't do that. It is dangerous," Anna says. + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs up the slide and sits on the edge. He looks at Anna and smiles. + +"Watch me, Anna. I am brave," he says. + +He pushes himself off the slide. He goes down very fast. He cannot see where he is going. He feels scared. + +Anna watches him. She feels shock. She sees him hit the ground hard. He cries out loud. He hurts his head and his arm. + +Mom hears him. She runs to him. She picks him up. She hugs him. She checks his head and his arm. She sees blood and a bruise. + +"Oh, Ben. What did you do? You were very naughty. You could have hurt yourself badly," she says. + +She takes him to the car. She drives him to the doctor. She hopes he will be okay. + +Anna follows them. She feels sad and sorry. She wishes Ben had listened to her. She hopes he will be okay too. She learns a lesson. She will never go down the slide backwards. She will always be careful. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big truck with a loud siren and a red light. It was a fireman truck. They wanted to see where it was going. + +"Come on, Lily, let's follow the fireman truck!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They ran after the truck, but it was very fast. They had to cross the street, but they did not look both ways. A car was coming, and it honked its horn. + +"Watch out, Ben, Lily!" the driver shouted. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They stopped in the middle of the street. The car was very close. They trembled and cried. + +"Help, help!" they screamed. + +The fireman truck saw them and stopped. A fireman jumped out and ran to them. He picked them up and carried them to the sidewalk. + +"Are you OK, kids?" he asked. + +He checked them for hurts. They had no hurts, but they were still trembling and crying. + +"Thank you, fireman, thank you!" they said. + +The fireman smiled and hugged them. + +"You're welcome, kids, but you have to be more careful. You have to look both ways before you cross the street. And you have to be slow and safe. The fireman truck is not a toy. It is for emergencies. Do you understand?" he said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and said sorry. + +"We understand, fireman, we're sorry. We won't do it again," they said. + +The fireman gave them a sticker and a hat. He told them to go back to their mom and dad. He waved goodbye and got back in the truck. He drove away with the siren and the red light. + +Ben and Lily ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. They showed them the sticker and the hat. They said they learned a lesson. + +Mom and dad were glad they were OK. They hugged them and kissed them. They said they were proud of them. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They thanked the fireman in their hearts. They played with their ball in the park. They were slow and safe. They looked both ways before they crossed the street. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with their new toy. It was a big box with many buttons and lights. When they pressed a button, the box would ask them a question. If they answered right, the box would say "True" and make a happy sound. If they answered wrong, the box would say "False" and make a sad sound. + +Lily and Ben liked the toy a lot. They took turns to press the buttons and answer the questions. They learned many things from the toy. But they also wanted to win. They wanted to hear more "True" than "False". They started to argue about who was smarter and who knew more. + +One day, they pressed a button that asked them a hard question. They did not know the answer. They looked at each other and tried to guess. Lily said one thing and Ben said another thing. They both thought they were right. They pushed each other and shouted at each other. They wanted to press the button and hear "True". + +But they pushed too hard. The toy was delicate. It could not take the force. It broke into pieces. The buttons and lights stopped working. The box did not ask any more questions. It did not say "True" or "False". It did not make any sound. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the broken toy. They felt sad and sorry. They realized they had been silly and mean. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to share and help each other. They did not care who was smarter or who knew more. They only cared about being friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had a big toy box with many toys, but their favorite was a soft teddy bear. They named him Teddy and gave him hugs and kisses every day. They always shared Teddy, but sometimes they wanted him at the same time. + +One day, they were playing with Teddy in their room. Ben wanted to pretend that Teddy was a pirate and Lily wanted to pretend that Teddy was a princess. They both pulled on Teddy's arms, trying to get him for themselves. + +"Let go of Teddy, he is my pirate!" Ben said. + +"No, he is my princess!" Lily said. + +They pulled harder and harder, until they heard a loud rip. Teddy's arm split in two, and stuffing came out. Ben and Lily gasped and dropped Teddy. They felt very sad and sorry. They had broken their favorite toy. + +They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. She saw their tears and Teddy's arm. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. I can fix Teddy. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to share Teddy and not fight over him. He is your friend, not your enemy. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We promise. We love Teddy and we love each other." + +Mom smiled and said, "Good. Now, why don't you go and have a snack? You must be hungry after playing so much." + +Ben and Lily agreed and went to the table. They saw a big plate of cookies and milk. They each took a cookie and said, "Thank you, mom." + +They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They felt happy and full. They decided to take a nap on the couch. They cuddled with Teddy, who had a bandage on his arm. They dreamed of having fun adventures with Teddy, as pirates and princesses. They knew that they would always share Teddy and be good twins. +Tim and Mia were playing hide and seek in the park. Tim was the seeker and Mia was the hider. Mia ran behind a big tree and waited for Tim to find her. She was very quiet and still. + +Tim looked around the park and tried to find Mia. He saw a bird, a flower, a ball, but no Mia. He was getting tired and bored. He called out, "Mia, where are you? Come out, come out, or I will give up!" + +Mia heard Tim's voice and smiled. She wanted to win the game. She did not want to come out. She stayed behind the tree and did not make a sound. + +Tim walked closer to the tree where Mia was hiding. He saw a flash of red. It was Mia's dress. He ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you, I found you! You have to surrender now!" + +Mia jumped out from behind the tree and laughed. She said, "You did not find me, I let you find me. I was too good at hiding. You have to tell the truth!" + +Tim and Mia looked at each other and giggled. They hugged and said, "You are a good hider, and I am a good seeker. We are both good at playing. Let's play again!" + +They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. The slide was rough and made them go fast. They had fun and forgot about the game. They were happy and silly. They were friends. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big spider on a web. The spider is black and hairy. Tom is scared of the spider. He runs away and cries. + +Mia is not scared of the spider. She is curious and alert. She goes closer to the spider and says hello. + +"Hello, spider. What are you doing?" Mia asks. + +The spider does not answer. It is busy making its web. It spins and spins the silk. It makes a beautiful pattern. + +Mia watches the spider. She thinks it is clever and pretty. She wants to touch it. She reaches out her hand. + +"Stop, Mia! Don't touch the spider!" Tom shouts. He comes back and grabs Mia's hand. He pulls her away from the web. + +"Why not?" Mia asks. She is confused and sad. + +"Because the spider can bite you. It can hurt you. It is not a toy. It is a wild animal." Tom explains. + +"Oh, I see. I did not know that. Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." Mia says. + +They hug and go back to their toys. They leave the spider alone. The spider is happy and finishes its web. +Lily and Ben liked to play with sand. They had a big box of sand in their backyard. One day, they decided to build a volcano with the sand. They piled up the sand in a cone shape. Then they made a hole in the top. They found some red paint and poured it in the hole. They pretended it was lava. + +They were very proud of their volcano. They showed it to their mom and dad. Mom and dad smiled and said it was very good. They asked Lily and Ben if they knew what a volcano was. Lily and Ben said yes. They said a volcano was a mountain that spits fire. + +Mom and dad nodded. They said that was partly true, but there was more to it. They said a volcano was also a place where the earth was very hot and melted rocks came out. They said the melted rocks were called magma, and when they reached the air, they became lava. They said volcanoes could be very dangerous and hurt people and animals. + +Lily and Ben listened. They were curious and wanted to learn more. They asked mom and dad many questions. They said they wanted to see a real volcano someday. Mom and dad said maybe they could, but they had to be careful and respectful. + +Lily and Ben were not ignorant. They were smart and eager. They liked to build and imagine, but they also liked to know and understand. They thanked mom and dad for teaching them. They hugged them and said they loved them. Then they went back to play with their sand volcano. They had fun and learned something new. +Ben is a clever boy. He likes to bounce on his bed. He has a big hat with a star on it. He puts on his hat and jumps up and down. + +One day, he bounces too high. He hits his head on the ceiling. His hat falls off. He feels a bump on his head. He cries. + +Mom hears him cry. She runs to his room. She sees his hat on the floor and his bump on his head. She hugs him and kisses him. She says, "Don't bounce so high, Ben. You might hurt yourself." + +She gives him a band-aid and a cookie. She puts his hat back on his head. She says, "You are a clever boy, Ben. But you have to be careful, too." + +Ben smiles. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't bounce so high again. I love you and I love my hat." + +He hugs her and eats his cookie. He still likes to bounce on his bed. But he bounces lower and safer. He is a clever and happy boy. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with many flowers. The truck stops near the park. A lady comes out of the truck. She has a beautiful dress and a big smile. + +"Hello, children," the lady says. "Do you like flowers?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily and Sam say. + +"I have a lot of flowers for my order. I need to make a bouquet for a wedding. Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, please," Lily and Sam say. + +The lady gives them some flowers. She tells them how to hold them and arrange them. Lily and Sam start to make a bouquet. They choose different colors and shapes. They have fun. + +"Wow, you are very good at this," the lady says. "Your bouquet is beautiful. Thank you for your help." + +"You're welcome," Lily and Sam say. + +The lady gives them a hug and a sticker. She puts their bouquet in the truck. She waves goodbye and drives away. + +Lily and Sam are happy. They have a new sticker and a new friend. They go back to the park and play some more. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make zoom sounds with their cars and planes. They pretended they were racing and flying around the world. + +But then the sky became dark and gray. Lily looked up and saw big drops of water falling from the clouds. It was raining! She did not like rain. It made her wet and cold. She said to Ben, "Let's go home, Ben. I don't want to play in the rain." + +Ben looked at the rain and smiled. He liked rain. It made him feel fresh and happy. He said to Lily, "But rain is fun, Lily. We can splash in the puddles and make weird shapes with the mud. Come on, let's play in the rain." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to play in the rain. She wanted to stay dry and warm. She said to Ben, "No, thank you, Ben. I want to go home. You can play in the rain if you want, but I don't." + +Ben shrugged. He did not want to go home. He wanted to play in the rain. He said to Lily, "Okay, Lily. You can go home. I will play in the rain. Bye, Lily." + +Lily picked up her toys and ran to her mom, who was waiting for her under a big tree. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, can we go home? I don't like rain." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. We can go home. But maybe next time you can try to play in the rain with Ben. It might be fun." + +Lily nodded. Maybe she would try to play in the rain next time. But for now, she was happy to go home. She waved to Ben, who was still playing in the rain. He waved back and said, "Bye, Lily. See you tomorrow." +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy boat in the bathtub. They pretended they were pirates looking for treasure. They sailed the boat around the bubbles and the rubber duck. + +"Look, Ben, I see an island!" Anna said, pointing to a soap bar. "Maybe there is gold there!" + +"Let's go and see!" Ben said, and steered the boat towards the soap bar. They reached the island and jumped off the boat. They started to dig with their hands, hoping to find something shiny. + +But instead of gold, they found a hole in the soap bar. They looked inside and saw a shiny ring. It was Mommy's ring, the one she always wore on her finger. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Anna said, and took the ring out of the hole. She put it on her finger and admired it. + +"Anna, that's Mommy's ring!" Ben said, feeling guilty. "We can't take it, it's not ours!" + +"But it's so pretty, Ben!" Anna said, not wanting to give it back. "And we found it, so it's ours!" + +"No, Anna, it's not!" Ben said, and tried to take the ring from her. They started to tug and pull, making a lot of noise. + +"What's going on here?" Mommy said, coming into the bathroom. She saw the boat, the soap bar, and the ring. She looked angry and sad. + +"Anna, Ben, did you take my ring?" Mommy said, and took the ring from them. "This is very naughty, you know how much this ring means to me!" + +Anna and Ben felt very guilty. They knew they had done something bad. They hung their heads and said sorry. + +Mommy hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're sorry, but you have to be more careful with other people's things. This ring was a gift from Daddy, and it's very special to me. I don't want to lose it or see it damaged. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and said they understood. They said they loved Mommy and Daddy and the ring. They promised to never take it again. + +Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too, and I forgive you. But next time, you can play with your own toys, OK?" + +Anna and Ben said OK, and hugged Mommy. They learned their lesson, and never touched the ring again. They still played with their boat, but they looked for other islands in the bathtub. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a big puddle of water. It is brown and filthy. Lily wants to print her hand in the water. She thinks it will be fun. + +"Look, Tom, I can print my hand in the water!" she says. She puts her hand in the water and then on the grass. She sees a wet handprint on the grass. She laughs. + +Tom does not think it is fun. He thinks it is dirty. He does not want to touch the water. He says, "No, Lily, don't do that. The water is filthy. It will make you sick. Come and play with me on the swing." + +But Lily does not listen. She prints her other hand in the water and then on the grass. She sees another wet handprint on the grass. She laughs again. + +Tom is angry. He says, "Lily, stop it. You are making a mess. The water is filthy. It will make you sick. Come and play with me on the swing." + +But Lily does not stop. She prints her feet in the water and then on the grass. She sees two wet footprints on the grass. She laughs more. + +Tom is very angry. He says, "Lily, stop it. You are making a big mess. The water is filthy. It will make you sick. Come and play with me on the swing. Now!" + +But Lily does not stop. She prints her face in the water and then on the grass. She sees a wet faceprint on the grass. She laughs the most. + +Tom is very very angry. He says, "Lily, stop it. You are making a huge mess. The water is filthy. It will make you sick. Come and play with me on the swing. Now! Or I will tell mom." + +But Lily does not stop. She prints her whole body in the water and then on the grass. She sees a wet bodyprint on the grass. She laughs the mostest. + +Tom is very very very angry. He says, "Lily, stop it. You are making a gigantic mess. The water is filthy. It will make you sick. Come and play with me on the swing. Now! Or I will tell mom. And dad. And grandma. And grandpa. And the dog." + +But Lily does not stop. She prints her whole body in the water and then on the grass again. She sees another wet bodyprint on the grass. She laughs the mostestest. + +Tom is very very very very angry. He runs to the house. He says, "Mom, mom, mom, Lily is printing in the filthy water. She is making a gigantic mess. She will not play with me on the swing. She will not listen to me. She will get sick. Please come and stop her." + +Mom comes out of the house. She sees Lily and Tom. She sees the water and the grass. She sees the wet prints on the grass. She is not angry. She is not happy. She is shocked. + +She says, "Lily, Tom, what are you doing? The water is filthy. It will make you sick. You are making a gigantic mess. You need to stop. You need to come inside. You need to take a bath. You need to say sorry." + +Lily and Tom look at mom.

We love you too. But can we still play with the swing?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But only after you take a bath. And only if you are nice to each other. OK?" + +Lily and Tom say, "OK, mom. We will. We promise." + +They hug mom. They hug each other. They go inside. They take a bath. They come out. They play with the swing. They are nice to each other. They are happy. The end. +Lily and Tom are at the shop with Mom. They want to buy a toy. They see many toys on the shelves. They see cars, dolls, balls, and books. They like the toys. + +"Mom, can I have this car?" Tom asks. He holds a red car in his hand. It has four wheels and a horn. + +"Mom, can I have this doll?" Lily asks. She holds a pink doll in her hand. It has long hair and a dress. + +Mom looks at the toys. She looks at the price tags. The car and the doll are very expensive. Mom shakes her head. + +"Sorry, Tom and Lily. These toys are too pricey. We can't buy them today. Maybe another day," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They put the toys back on the shelves. They follow Mom to the exit. They see a big bin near the door.

Sometimes, they heard stories about a famous mountain that was far away from their valley. The mountain was very high and had snow on top. Some sheep said that the mountain had a magic cave where a good fairy lived. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to move and see the mountain for themselves. They told their shepherd that they wanted to go on an adventure. The shepherd was sad, but he said they could go if they were careful and came back soon. He gave them a map and a bell to ring if they needed help. + +Tom and Lily moved for a long time, crossing hills and rivers and forests. They saw many new things and animals, but they also faced some dangers. Once, they met a big wolf who wanted to eat them, but they ran away and hid behind a rock. Another time, they got lost in a fog and almost fell into a hole, but they heard the bell and followed the sound back to the path. + +Finally, they reached the mountain and saw the snow and the cave. They were very happy and curious. They moved closer to the cave and saw a light inside. They wondered if it was the fairy. They moved inside the cave and called out, "Hello, is anyone there?" + +But instead of a fairy, they saw a big dragon who was sleeping on a pile of gold and jewels. The dragon woke up and saw the sheep. He was very angry and hungry. He roared, "Who are you and what are you doing in my cave? You are not welcome here. You are my dinner!" + +Tom and Lily were very scared and sorry. They wished they had never moved from their valley. They moved back to the entrance of the cave and tried to run away, but the dragon was faster and blocked their way. He opened his mouth and breathed fire at them. + +But then, they heard another sound. It was the bell and the shepherd. He had followed their map and found them. He saw the dragon and threw a big stone at his head. The dragon was hurt and distracted. He turned to face the shepherd and forgot about the sheep. + +Tom and Lily saw their chance and moved quickly past the dragon. They ran to the shepherd and hugged him. They thanked him for saving them and said they were sorry for leaving. They said they did not want to see the mountain or the cave anymore. They only wanted to go back to their valley and their friends. + +The shepherd was glad and proud. He said he forgave them and he loved them. He said they had learned a valuable lesson. He said the mountain and the cave were not for sheep. He said the valley was their home and their happiness. + +They moved together back to the valley, ringing the bell and singing a song. They never moved again. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a lot of little ants on the ground. They are busy and fast. + +"Look, Mia, the ants are working hard. They are carrying food and dirt," Tom says. + +"Where are they going, Tom?" Mia asks. + +"They are going to their home. It is called an ant hill. It is a big pile of dirt with holes," Tom says. + +"Can we see their home, Tom?" Mia asks. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. We don't want to hurt the ants or make them angry," Tom says. + +They walk slowly to the ant hill. They see many ants going in and out of the holes. Some ants are bigger than others. They have long things on their heads. They are called antennae. + +"Wow, look at those big ants, Mia. They are the bosses. They order the other ants what to do," Tom says. + +"How do they order them, Tom?" Mia asks. + +"They use their antennae to touch and smell. They can tell the other ants where to find food, where to dig, and where to stay away from," Tom says. + +"That is cool, Tom. The ants are very smart and strong. They work together as a team," Mia says. + +"Yes, they are, Mia. We can learn from them. We can also work together as a team. Do you want to play with me?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, Tom. What do you want to play?" Mia asks. + +"Let's play hide and seek. I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will try to find you. OK?" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom. That sounds fun. But don't look, Tom.

Mom said, "Lily, please be careful. Don't push the cart too hard or you might bump into someone." + +But Lily did not listen. She pushed the cart very hard and ran to the candy aisle. She saw a big bag of gummy bears and wanted to grab it. She pushed the cart harder and harder, but it did not stop. It hit a big pile of cans and made a loud noise. The cans fell down and rolled everywhere. Lily was scared and cried. Mom was angry and said, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess. You are being crazy today. You need to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Lily felt bad and said sorry to Mom and to the store man. She helped Mom pick up the cans and put them back on the shelf.

Mom hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. But next time, please listen to me and be careful. Let's go home and have some cookies." Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Mom. And I love cookies." They left the store and went home. +Lily liked to collect pretty things. She had a box full of shiny stones, colorful feathers, and sparkly beads. She was very proud of her collection and showed it to everyone who came to her house. + +One day, she saw a stand at the park. It had many things for sale, like toys, books, and stickers. Lily wanted to buy something, but she had no money. She saw a necklace with a big red heart. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She wanted it very much. + +She looked around and saw that no one was watching the stand. She thought she could take the necklace and put it in her box. No one would know. She reached out her hand and grabbed the necklace. She ran away as fast as she could. + +But she did not see that Ben, her friend, was playing nearby. He saw what she did and followed her. He caught up with her and said, "Lily, why did you take the necklace? That is not yours. That is stealing. That is bad." + +Lily felt ashamed. She knew Ben was right. She had done something wrong. She had hurt the person who owned the stand. She had been greedy and selfish. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I wanted the necklace so much, but I should not have taken it. What can I do?" + +Ben said, "You can do the right thing. You can take the necklace back and say sorry to the person who owns the stand. Maybe they will forgive you. Maybe they will let you keep the necklace if you do something nice for them. But you have to be honest and brave." + +Lily nodded. She felt scared, but she also felt sorry. She took the necklace and walked back to the park with Ben. She found the person who owned the stand and gave them the necklace. She said, "I'm sorry, I took this without paying. I was wrong. Please forgive me." + +The person who owned the stand was surprised and angry at first. But they saw that Lily was sincere and remorseful. They said, "Thank you for bringing this back. I appreciate your honesty. It takes courage to admit your mistake and apologize. I forgive you. You can keep the necklace as a gift, but you have to promise me something." + +Lily said, "What is it?" + +The person who owned the stand said, "You have to promise me that you will never steal again. You have to promise me that you will respect other people's things and work hard to earn your own. You have to promise me that you will share your pretty things with others who have less. Can you do that?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I can. I promise. Thank you for your kindness." + +The person who owned the stand smiled and said, "You're welcome. You have learned a valuable lesson today. I hope you will remember it always." + +Lily hugged the necklace and thanked the person who owned the stand again. She felt happy and grateful. She also felt proud of herself for doing the right thing. She looked at Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben, for being my friend and helping me. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. Come on, let's go play." + +They ran off to play, holding hands. They had both learned something important that day. They had learned that honesty is the best policy, and that friendship is more precious than any necklace. +Tom and Sam are brothers.

She says, "You can roar all you want, my little lions, but you still have to eat your prunes. They are not going anywhere. And neither am I." + +She sits down with them. She eats a prune. She says, "Mmm, this is yummy. Do you want to try one?" + +Tom and Sam look at Mom. They look at the prunes. They are curious.

The ducks and the fish came to eat the bread. They made funny noises and splashed in the water. Lily laughed and clapped her hands. + +But then, she saw something else in the pond. It was a big snake with green scales and red eyes. It was hiding under a rock. It saw Lily and the bread. It wanted to eat them. It slithered out of the water and moved towards Lily. + +Lily was scared. She screamed and dropped the bread. She ran to her mom and dad. They saw the snake and picked up Lily. They ran away from the pond. The snake was angry. It hissed and snapped its teeth. It tried to catch them with its neck. + +But it was too late. The ducks and the fish saw the snake. They did not like the snake. They wanted to protect Lily and the bread. They attacked the snake with their beaks and fins. They bit and scratched the snake. The snake was hurt. It gave up and went back to the pond. + +Lily was safe. She hugged her mom and dad. They hugged her back. They thanked the ducks and the fish. They gave them more bread.

We have a lovely weather today. Sunny and warm. How are you, Lisa?" repeats Lily. + +"I'm fine, thank you, Tom. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Do you have any plans?" says the woman. + +"I'm fine, thank you, Tom. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Do you have any plans?" repeats Ben. + +They giggle. They think they sound like the radio. They repeat more words and sentences. They have fun. + +But then, the radio changes. They hear music. Loud and fast. They can't repeat the words. They don't understand them. They look at each other. They shrug. + +They turn off the radio. They go back to their network of blocks and cars. They make their own sounds and stories. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big horn in the toy shop. It was shiny and loud and they both wanted it. + +"Can we have the horn, Mom?" they asked. + +"Sorry, kids, the horn is too cheap. It will break soon and make a lot of noise. Why don't you choose something else?" Mom said. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They begged and cried until Mom gave in and bought the horn for them. + +They were very happy and ran home with the horn. They took turns to blow it and make loud sounds. They did not care about anyone else. + +Soon, the horn started to crack and leak. It made funny noises and did not sound good. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They blamed each other and fought over the horn. + +"Give me the horn, it's mine!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine, you broke it!" Lily yelled. + +They pulled and pushed until the horn snapped in half. They both fell to the ground and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken horn and the twins. + +"What did you do?" she asked. + +"We wanted the horn, but it was cheap and it broke. Now we have nothing!" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom shook her head and hugged them. + +"I told you the horn was not a good toy. You should have listened to me and chosen something else. Something that would last and make you happy. Something that you could share and enjoy together. Do you understand?" she said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry. They realized they had been selfish and foolish. They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful and kind. + +Mom smiled and gave them a new toy. It was a book with colorful pictures and stories. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They opened the book and read it together. They learned new words and had fun. They were happy and quiet. + +The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play chess. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Tom was older and smarter than Sam, so he always won. Sam was not happy about this. + +One day, Sam decided to try a new trick. He hid some of Tom's pieces under the sofa before they started to play. He hoped Tom would not notice and he could win for once. + +But Tom was very good at chess and he soon saw that some of his pieces were missing. He looked under the sofa and found them. He was angry at Sam and said, "Sam, you are cheating! That is not fair! You cannot hide my pieces!" + +Sam felt nervous and ashamed. He knew he did something bad. He tried to complain and said, "But Tom, you always win! I never have a chance! It is not fun to play with you!" + +Tom did not listen to Sam. He said, "That is no excuse, Sam. You have to play by the rules. If you want to win, you have to practice and learn. Cheating is wrong and it hurts our friendship. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Sam felt sad and sorry. He realized he made a mistake. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You are right. I should not have cheated. I was jealous of you. Can you forgive me? Can we still be friends?" + +Tom looked at Sam and saw that he was sincere. He felt sorry for him too. He said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But you have to promise me that you will never cheat again. And you have to play fair and honest. Then we can have fun and be friends." + +Sam nodded and smiled. He said, "I promise, Tom. Thank you for forgiving me. Can we play again?" + +Tom nodded and smiled too. He said, "Sure, Sam. Let's play again. But this time, no hiding pieces. And maybe I can teach you some tips to help you play better." + +They set up the board and the pieces again. They played chess and had fun. They did not cheat or complain. They were happy and friendly brothers. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They made them zoom on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They pretended they were racing drivers, going very fast and making loud noises. + +One day, they found a big cardboard box in the garage. They decided to make it into a car. They cut out windows and doors, and drew wheels and lights with crayons. They put some pillows inside for seats, and a plate for a steering wheel. + +"Let's go for a ride!" said Ben. He climbed into the box and held the plate. "You can be my co-driver, Mia." + +"OK!" said Mia. She climbed in next to him. "Where are we going?" + +Ben looked around and saw a blue sky with white clouds. He had an idea. "We are going to the sky!" he said. "We are going to zoom among the clouds and see the birds and the stars!" + +He started to make engine noises and move the plate. Mia played along and made noises too. They pretended the box was flying higher and higher, and they looked out of the windows. + +But then, Mia saw something that made her scared. It was a big, black bird, with a sharp beak and claws. It was flying towards them, and it looked angry. + +"Ben, look!" she said. "There is a bad bird! It wants to hurt us!" + +Ben looked and saw the bird too. He was scared as well. He did not know what to do. He wished they were not in the sky, but on the ground, where it was safe. + +"Quick, let's go back!" he said. He turned the plate and made noises like he was braking. He and Mia ducked down in the box and hoped the bird would go away. + +They waited for a while, and then peeked out of the windows. The bird was gone. They saw the garage roof and the trees. They were back on the ground. + +They sighed with relief and smiled at each other. They had had enough of the sky for today. They got out of the box and hugged their toy cars. + +"Let's play with these instead," said Mia. + +"Yes, let's," said Ben. "They are much safer and more fun." + +They zoomed their toy cars on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They were happy and not scared anymore. +Sam and Lily like to play soccer with their friends. They have two teams, red and blue. Sam is on the red team and Lily is on the blue team. They kick the ball and try to score goals. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Max. He wants to play soccer too. He asks Sam and Lily if he can join their game. + +"Can I be a player on your team?" he says. + +Sam and Lily look at each other. They do not know Max. They do not know if he is good or bad at soccer. They do not know if he is nice or mean. + +"Which team do you want to be on?" Sam asks. + +"I want to be on the red team," Max says. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He likes his team. He does not want to add a new player. He thinks it will be difficult to share the ball and work together. + +"Sorry, Max. The red team is full. You cannot be a player on our team," Sam says. + +Max feels sad. He looks at Lily. He hopes she will let him be on the blue team. + +"What about you, Lily? Can I be a player on your team?" he says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her team too. But she also likes to make new friends. She thinks it will be fun to add a new player. She thinks it will be easy to teach him the rules and help him play. + +"Sure, Max. You can be a player on our team. Come on, let's go," Lily says. + +Max smiles. He is happy. He follows Lily to the blue team. He meets the other players and learns their names. He listens to Lily and tries to do his best. + +Sam and Lily play soccer with their friends and Max. They have a good time. They kick the ball and score goals. They cheer and clap. They say "good job" and "well done". They have fun. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the garden. They liked to pretend they were lions and roar at each other. They had a big round ball that they rolled and chased. + +But then, a big dog came into the garden. It was not their dog. It was a troubled dog that lived on the street. It saw the round ball and wanted it. It ran towards the ball and barked. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They tried to get the ball back, but the dog was faster and stronger. It bit the ball and made a hole in it. The air came out of the ball and it became flat. + +Tom and Mia cried. They loved their round ball. They wanted to play with it. They were angry at the dog. They shouted at it and threw stones at it. + +But the dog did not care. It was happy with the ball. It ran away with the ball in its mouth. It left Tom and Mia alone in the garden, with no ball and no fun. They were sad and wished the dog had never come. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But Ben wanted to play with Lily's red car, because it had a shiny knob that could make it reverse. He tried to grab it from her, but Lily held on tight. + +"No, Ben, this is my car! You have your own car!" Lily said. + +"But I want to play with the knob! It is fun!" Ben said. + +"You are selfish, Ben! You always want what I have! You can't have it!" Lily said. + +They pulled and tugged on the car, until it broke in half. The knob fell off and rolled under the sofa. Ben and Lily both started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the sad children. She was not happy. + +"What happened here? Why did you break your toy?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Lily both pointed at each other and said, "He/she did it!" + +Mom shook her head and said, "You both did it. You were selfish and did not share. Now you have no car to play with. And you have to say sorry to each other." + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Ben/Lily." + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I love you both. But next time, you have to be nice and take turns. And maybe we can fix the car later." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom." + +They hugged each other and said, "I love you, Ben/Lily." + +They decided to play with their blocks instead, and they shared them nicely. They had fun and forgot about the car. They learned to be less selfish and more kind. +Lily liked to slide. She had a big slide in her backyard. She slid down fast and laughed. She felt like a queen on her slide. + +One day, a new girl came to play with Lily. Her name was Mia. Mia had a small slide in her backpack. She said it was a magic slide. She said it could take her to different places. + +Lily wanted to try the magic slide. She asked Mia if she could slide on it. Mia said yes, but only if Lily gave her the big slide. Lily did not want to give her the big slide. She liked it too much. She said no. + +Mia got angry. She said Lily was not a regular friend. She said Lily was a mean queen. She took her magic slide and left. + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to be a mean queen. She wanted to be a regular friend. She wanted to slide with Mia. She wished Mia would come back. She wished she could say sorry. +One day, a little boy named Leo went to the zoo with his mom. He saw many animals, but his favorite was the rhino. The rhino had a big horn on his nose and thick gray skin. Leo thought the rhino was very unique and strong. + +"Mom, can I touch the horn?" Leo asked. + +"No, Leo, you can't. The horn is sharp and the rhino might get angry. We have to stay behind the fence and watch from far away," Mom said. + +Leo was sad, but he listened to his mom. He waved to the rhino and said, "Bye, rhino. You are awesome." + +The rhino heard Leo and looked at him. He saw that Leo was friendly and curious. He decided to do something nice for him. He walked closer to the fence and lowered his head. He let Leo touch his horn gently. + +"Wow, thank you, rhino. Your horn is cool and smooth.

They also had a lovely poster of a rainbow on the wall that their mom gave them. + +One day, a man came to their house and said he wanted to buy their room. He said he would give them a lot of money for it. Tom and Lily were confused. Why would he want their room? They loved their room. They did not want to sell it. + +The man said he was a painter and he liked the rainbow poster. He said he wanted to paint it on a big canvas and sell it to a museum. He said he needed their room to do his work. He said he would give them a new room with more toys and books and games. + +Tom thought this sounded good. He liked money and he liked new things.

She said it was very special to her and she wanted to keep it in the family. + +The man said he was sorry and he did not know. He said he would leave and find another poster. The mom said thank you and goodbye. She hugged the twins and said she was proud of them. She said they should not sell their room or their poster or anything that they loved.

If you score a goal, you can have my candy. But if I score, you have to wipe the dishes after dinner."

You can have the candy. But you still have to wipe the dishes after dinner. That's the deal." + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, Tom. I will wipe the dishes.

He sees that they are sorry. He says, "It's okay, kids. I forgive you. You did not mean to hurt me. But you have to be careful. You have to ask before you take something that is not yours. You have to respect other people's things. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "We understand. We will be careful. We will respect other people's things. Thank you for forgiving us. And thank you for being kind. You are very nice." + +The man smiles. He says, "You are welcome. And you are very brave. You came back to say sorry. That is not easy. You are good kids.

Lily was so happy and felt safe with her new teddy bear. She hugged it tight and said "thank you mommy" while clapping her hands again.
