What are you doing?" +The cat meowed and said, "Sitting by the water. It's very yummy!" + +The little girl smiled and said, "I'm thirsty too. Let's get a drink!"

Please, please can I have one?" + +His dad replied, "Peter, you know I don't have money to buy you a new basketball. All I have is a very cheap basketball in the shed. I'll give you that if you want it." + +Peter sighed and said, “Okay. That’s better than nothing, I guess." + +So his dad got a ladder and they went to the shed. Peter clapped his hands when he saw the basketball. It was orange, with green stripes!

It was cozy and warm inside. Jack thought it was the best place to take a nap. + +He leaned back against the wall and fell asleep. He dreamed he was on a camping trip, sleeping in a tent all night long. When Jack woke up, he said goodbye to the tent and went back outside. + +He looked back at the green tent and smiled.

She had found the oasis! + +As Grace approached the lake, she saw a big bird staring at her from the other side. She waved her hand at the bird and said, "Hello! I've been looking for this oasis for a long time." The bird didn't answer, so Grace smiled and walked around the lake. + +She found a beautiful spot to sit and enjoyed the scenery of the oasis.

She also had a sink where she washed her dishes after cooking. + +One day, Lily wanted to make a cake for her mom's birthday. She got all the ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and chocolate. She mixed them in a big bowl and poured the batter into a pan. She put the pan in the oven and set the timer. + +While the cake was baking, Lily decided to clean up the kitchen. She took the dirty bowl and the spoons and the knives to the sink. She turned on the tap and filled the sink with water and soap. She started to wash the dishes, but she forgot to turn off the tap. The water kept running and running and the sink got fuller and fuller. + +Soon, the water spilled over the edge of the sink and onto the floor.

The floor was wet and slippery and the kitchen was a mess. + +Lily started to cry. She did not know what to do. She was afraid that her mom would be angry and that her cake would be ruined. She wished she had someone to help her. + +Just then, she heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it and saw her dad. He had come home early from work to surprise her mom.

There are many things to play with in the park: swings, slides, sand, and balls. + +Mia sees a big red ball. She runs to get it. Ben follows her. Mia picks up the ball and hugs it. She says, "This is my ball. I found it first." + +Ben feels sad. He wants to play with the ball too. He says, "Can I play with the ball, please? We can share it. We can take turns." + +Mia thinks for a moment. She likes Ben. He is her friend. She says, "OK, we can share the ball. But I go first." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are generous. You are a good friend." + +Mia and Ben play with the ball. They throw it, catch it, kick it, and roll it. They have fun. Their moms watch them and smile.

They wanted to feed the ducks and touch the frogs. + +But when they got to the pond, they saw something else. It was a small bird with a broken wing. It was lying on the ground, not moving. It looked sad and hurt. Lila and Tom felt sorry for the bird. They wanted to help it. + +They were compassionate. They did not touch the bird, but they talked to it softly. They found some bread and water and put them near the bird. They hoped the bird would eat and drink and feel better. They stayed with the bird until it opened its eyes and looked at them. + +The bird was grateful. It chirped and flapped its good wing. It tried to stand up and walk. Lila and Tom cheered and clapped.

They promised to come back and visit Lucky every day. They said goodbye to Lucky and went back to their parents. They told them about their discovery and their new friend. Their parents were proud of them. They hugged and kissed them. They said they were good and kind children. +Lily and Ben are eager to play outside. They put on their coats and shoes and run to the porch. They see a big box on the porch. It has a picture of a train on it. + +"Wow, a train!" Ben says. "Can we open it?" + +"Let's ask Mommy," Lily says. They knock on the door and Mommy comes out. + +"Mommy, Mommy, can we open the box?" they ask. + +"Sure, sweeties, that's a present from Grandma and Grandpa.

She asked her mom if she could go to the park and find some insects. + +"Sure, you can go to the park, but you have to be careful. Some insects can bite or sting. And don't take any insects home. They belong in the park, not in our house." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and put on her hat and shoes. She took a small jar with a lid and a hole. She hoped to catch an insect and look at it closely. She said bye to mom and went to the park. + +At the park, Lily saw many insects. She saw ants, bees, butterflies, and ladybugs. She tried to catch a butterfly, but it was too fast. She tried to catch a ladybug, but it flew away. She tried to catch a bee, but it buzzed angrily. She was sad. She wanted an insect to put in her jar. + +Then she saw a shiny insect on a flower. It was green and blue and had long wings. It looked like a jewel. Lily thought it was the most beautiful insect she had ever seen. She wanted it very much. She reached out her hand and grabbed it. It did not fly away. It did not bite or sting. It was very still. Lily was happy. She put it in her jar and closed the lid. + +She ran back to mom and showed her the insect. "Look, mom, I caught an insect! It is so pretty! Can I keep it?" Lily asked. + +Mom looked at the jar and gasped. She recognized the insect. It was not an insect at all. It was a brooch. A brooch was a small thing that people put on their clothes to make them look nice. It was not alive. It was made of metal and stones. It was very expensive. Someone must have lost it at the park. + +"Oh, Lily, that is not an insect. That is a brooch. It belongs to someone else. We have to take it back to the park and see if we can find the owner. It is not right to take things that are not ours." Mom said. + +Lily was confused. She did not know what a brooch was. She did not know it was expensive. She did not know it was not alive. She thought it was an insect. She liked it very much. She did not want to give it back. + +"But mom, I like it. It is my insect. I caught it. Please, can I keep it?" Lily begged. + +Mom shook her head. She explained to Lily that taking things that are not ours is wrong. She told her that the brooch might be very important to someone else. She told her that there are many real insects in the park that she can look at and learn about. She told her that she was proud of her for being curious and brave, but she had to be honest and kind too. + +Lily listened to mom. She understood that mom was right. She felt sorry for taking the brooch. She agreed to take it back to the park and look for the owner. She hoped that the owner would be happy to get it back. She hoped that she would find a real insect to put in her jar. She hugged mom and said sorry. Mom hugged her back and said it was okay. They went back to the park together. +Sara was sick. She felt hot and had a sore throat. Mommy came to her room with a thermometer. She said, "I need to check your temperature, honey. Open your mouth and put this under your tongue." + +Sara did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny. She wanted to spit it out, but Mommy said, "No, no, Sara. You have to keep it in for a little while. It will beep when it is done." + +Sara waited and waited. She felt upset. She wanted to play with her toys, not lie in bed with a thermometer. She looked at Mommy with sad eyes. Mommy smiled and said, "I know, sweetie. It is no fun to be sick. But the thermometer will help us know how to make you feel better. Maybe you have a fever and need some medicine. Or maybe you just need some rest and some water." + +Finally, the thermometer beeped. Mommy took it out of Sara's mouth and looked at it. She said, "Oh, Sara. You do have a fever. It is 39 degrees. That is very high. You need to take some medicine and stay in bed. I will bring you some juice and a book. Maybe we can read a story together." + +Sara nodded. She still felt upset, but she also felt loved. She knew Mommy cared for her and wanted her to get well. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." Mommy hugged her and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are my brave girl. You will feel better soon." +Sara likes to design things. She draws with crayons and cuts with scissors. She makes hats and dresses and cars and houses. She shows them to her mom and dad and they say she is very clever. + +One day, Sara goes to the farm with her dad. She sees many animals there. She sees cows and pigs and chickens and horses. She likes them all, but she likes one animal the most. It is a mule. It has long ears and a long face and a brown coat. It makes a funny sound like "hee-haw". + +Sara asks her dad if she can pet the mule. Her dad says yes, but be careful. He says the mule is very hard. It can kick and bite and run away. He says the mule is not like a horse. It does not like to work or play. It likes to do what it wants. + +Sara is not afraid. She walks slowly to the mule and says hello. She holds out her hand with some grass. The mule sniffs her hand and eats the grass. Then it looks at her with its big eyes. Sara thinks the mule is cute. + +She says to the mule, "Do you want to see what I can do? I can design things. I can make you a hat. It will be very pretty. You will like it." + +The mule says "hee-haw". Sara thinks it means yes. She runs to her dad and asks for some paper and crayons. He gives them to her and smiles. He says he is curious to see what she will make. + +Sara goes back to the mule and sits on the ground. She draws a big circle and some triangles and some flowers. She cuts them out and tapes them together. She makes a hat for the mule. It is very colorful and bright. + +She puts the hat on the mule's head and says, "Look, you have a hat. It is very pretty. You look very happy." + +The mule says "hee-haw". Sara thinks it means thank you. She hugs the mule and says, "You are welcome. You are my friend. I like you." + +The mule says "hee-haw". Sara thinks it means I like you too. She smiles and says, "Do you want to see what else I can design?" +Lily and Tom were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a map for treasure. The map showed them where to dig in the sand. + +"Arrr, matey, let's find the gold!" Tom said, holding the map. + +"Arrr, aye, captain!" Lily said, following him. + +They walked to the spot on the map and started to dig with their hands. They dug and dug, but they did not find anything. + +"Maybe the map is wrong," Lily said, frowning. + +"Or maybe someone took the treasure already," Tom said, looking around. + +They heard a loud bark behind them. It was Rex, the big dog from next door. He had jumped over the fence and was running towards them. He wanted to play, but he did not know how to be gentle. + +Lily and Tom were frightened. They dropped the map and the stick and ran to the box. They tried to climb inside, but Rex was faster. He reached them and jumped on them, licking their faces and wagging his tail. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Tom cried. + +Rex did not listen. He saw the map on the ground and thought it was a toy. He grabbed it with his teeth and ran away, tearing it to pieces. + +Lily and Tom slipped out of the box and chased after him. They wanted their map back, but Rex was too fast and too strong. He ran around the garden, tossing the map in the air and catching it again. + +"Stop, stop, Rex!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +But Rex did not stop. He was having too much fun. He did not know he had ruined their game. He did not know he had made them sad. He only knew he had found a new friend. +Jenny liked to help Mommy in the kitchen. She liked to pick up the dirty plates and cups and put them in the dishwasher. She liked to see the water and soap make them clean and shiny. She liked to hear the beep when the dishwasher was done. + +But one day, Jenny had a problem. She wanted to pick up a big plate, but it was too heavy for her. She tried to lift it with both hands, but it slipped and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Jenny was scared and sad. She did not want Mommy to be angry. + +She heard Mommy coming and hid behind the table. Mommy saw the broken plate and the mess on the floor. She looked around and saw Jenny. She did not yell or scold. She came to Jenny and gave her a hug. + +"It's okay, Jenny," she said. "I know you were trying to help. But some plates are too big for you to pick up. Next time, ask me for help, okay?" + +Jenny nodded and said sorry. Mommy smiled and said, "I love you, Jenny. You are a lovely helper. Now let's clean up this mess together." + +They got a broom and a dustpan and swept up the pieces. They threw them in the trash. Then they finished loading the dishwasher. Jenny felt better. She was happy to help Mommy in the kitchen. She learned a new lesson. She knew Mommy loved her. +Lily liked to sit on the big green armchair in the living room. It was soft and cozy and had a nice smell. Sometimes, she would pretend it was a castle or a spaceship or a jungle. She would make up stories and act them out with her toys. + +One day, she was playing with her doll, Anna, on the armchair. She was pretending they were fairies who could fly and make magic. She said to Anna, "Look, we can grow flowers with our wands. See, I made a pink one and you made a yellow one. They are so pretty!" + +But then, she heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was her brother, Max, who was making a mess with his blocks. He was banging them and throwing them and laughing. Lily did not like it. She said to Anna, "Max is too noisy. He is ruining our game. Let's go to another room." + +She got up from the armchair and tried to take Anna with her. But Anna was stuck. Lily pulled and pulled, but Anna did not move. She looked and saw that Anna's dress was caught on a button on the armchair. She said, "Oh no, Anna, you are trapped. How can I free you?" + +She tried to unhook the dress, but it was too tight. She did not know what to do. She started to cry. She said, "Help, help, someone help me. Anna is stuck on the armchair. I can't get her out." + +She hoped that someone would hear her and come to help. But no one came. Max was still making noise in the kitchen. Mom and Dad were busy in the garden. She felt alone and scared. She said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I don't want to leave you. I love you." + +She hugged Anna and cried some more. She wished she could grow bigger and stronger and free Anna from the armchair. She wished the armchair would let go of Anna and be nice. She wished she could go back to playing fairies and making flowers. She wished everything would be okay. +Lily and Sam liked to play on the beach. They made a big sand castle with shells and sticks. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mom!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and strong!" + +"Yes, it is, my dears," Mom said. "But you have to be careful. The tide is coming soon. The tide is the water that goes up and down. When the tide is high, the water covers the sand. When the tide is low, the water leaves the sand. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They understood. But they did not want to leave their castle. They wanted to play more. + +"Can we stay a little longer, Mom?" Sam asked. "Please?" + +Mom looked at the sky. It was getting dark. She knew the tide would be high soon. + +"Okay, but only a little longer," Mom said. "Then we have to go home. And you have to finish your castle. You can't leave it half-done. That is not nice." + +Lily and Sam agreed. They worked hard to finish their castle. They added more shells and sticks. They made a flag and a door. They were very happy. + +But they did not notice the tide. The tide was coming closer and closer. The water was touching the sand. The water was reaching their castle. + +"Look out, Lily and Sam!" Mom shouted. "The tide is here! The water will wash away your castle! Come quickly!" + +Lily and Sam looked up. They saw the water. They were scared. They ran to Mom. They left their castle. + +They watched as the water covered their castle. The water took away their shells and sticks. The water broke their flag and door. Their castle was gone. + +Lily and Sam were sad. They cried. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had left sooner. + +Mom hugged them. She was sorry for them. But she also wanted to teach them a lesson. + +"Next time, you have to be smart, Lily and Sam," Mom said. "You have to pay attention to the tide. You have to finish your castle before the water comes. You have to respect the nature. The nature is beautiful, but also powerful. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They understood. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to the nature. They hoped to make a new castle another day. A castle that they could finish and enjoy. A castle that the tide would not wash away. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the big truck. They pull and tug on the truck, but no one lets go. + +"Mine!" Sara yells. + +"No, mine!" Ben yells back. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the truck. She is not happy. + +"Stop that!" Mom says. "You have to share your toys. Or you can separate them and play with different ones." + +Sara and Ben do not want to share or separate. They want the big truck. They keep pulling and tugging. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. She picks up a small car and a small plane from the toy box. She gives the car to Sara and the plane to Ben. + +"Look, these are also fun toys. You can play with them and pretend they are friends with the big truck. Or you can race them or fly them. But you have to be careful. Do not throw them or hit them. They can break or hurt someone." + +Sara and Ben look at the small toys. They are not as big or shiny as the big truck. But they are also cute and colorful. They decide to try them out. They make vroom and zoom sounds as they move the car and the plane around. They have fun. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they are playing nicely. She leaves them to play and goes to the kitchen. She does not see the tip of the plane sticking out from under the bed. + +Later, Sara and Ben get bored with the small toys. They want the big truck again. They look for it on the floor. They do not see it. They look under the bed. They see the tip of the plane. They reach for it. + +But the plane is not safe. It is broken. The tip is sharp. It cuts Sara's finger. Sara cries out in pain. Ben is scared. He drops the plane. He runs to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, Sara is hurt!" Ben says. + +Mom hears Ben and Sara. She runs to their room. She sees Sara's finger bleeding. She sees the broken plane. She is worried. + +"Oh no, what happened?" Mom says. "Let me see your finger, Sara. I will get a band-aid and some ice. It will be okay." + +Mom takes Sara to the bathroom. She cleans and wraps her finger. She gives her some ice and a hug. She tells her to be brave and calm. Sara stops crying. She feels better. + +Mom goes back to their room. She picks up the broken plane and the big truck. She puts them away. She talks to Ben. + +"Ben, I am sorry Sara got hurt. It was an accident. But you have to be more careful with your toys. You have to check if they are broken or sharp. You have to put them away when you are done. You have to be gentle and kind with them and with Sara. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods. He feels sorry for Sara and for the plane. He does not want to fight over the big truck anymore. He wants to play with Sara and make her happy. + +"Mom, can I go see Sara?" Ben says. + +"Of course, you can. But first, say sorry to her and give her a kiss. And then, you can play with her and the small toys. They are still fun and safe. And maybe later, you can share the big truck. Okay?" + +Ben says okay. He goes to the bathroom. He sees Sara sitting on the sink. He says sorry to her and gives her a kiss. He asks her if she wants to play with him and the small toys. Sara says yes. She smiles. She gives him a hug. + +They go back to their room. They play with the small car and the small plane. They pretend they are friends with the big truck. They race them and fly them. They have fun. They do not fight. They are happy. + +Mom sees them and smiles. She is proud of them. She thinks they are learning to share and separate. She thinks they are growing up. She thinks they are sweet. She loves them. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lila, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his creation to his sister. + +"Wow, Ben, that's very good!" Lila said, admiring his tower. "Can I join you and help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Lila, you can join me. Here, take some blocks and put them on top." Ben said, handing her some blocks. + +Lila was grateful that Ben let her join him. She liked to play with him and share his blocks. She took the blocks and tried to put them on top of the tower. But she was not very careful and she bumped the tower with her toe. + +The tower wobbled and then fell down with a loud crash. All the blocks scattered on the floor. Ben was very angry and sad. He had worked hard to make his tower and now it was ruined. + +"Lila, you are so clumsy! You broke my tower with your toe! You are a bad sister!" Ben shouted, pointing at her. + +Lila felt sorry and scared. She did not mean to break his tower. She wanted to help him and have fun. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break your tower. Please don't be mad at me." + +But Ben did not listen to her. He was too mad. He picked up a block and threw it at her. It hit her on the head and hurt her. She cried louder and ran to their mom. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the crying children. She was not happy. She scolded Ben for throwing the block and hurting Lila. She hugged Lila and comforted her. She told them to clean up the blocks and to say sorry to each other. + +But Ben did not want to say sorry. He was still angry. He did not want to play with Lila anymore. He did not want to share his blocks with her. He did not want to join her in anything. He turned his back on her and sulked. + +Lila felt sad and lonely. She wished Ben would forgive her and play with her again. She wished they could be friends and join each other in everything. She wished he would not be mad at her for breaking his tower with her toe. She wished he would be grateful that she wanted to help him. But he was not. He was not. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were soldiers and fight the bad guys. They had sticks for guns and hats for helmets. + +"Bang, bang, you're dead!" Tom shouted, pointing his stick at Lily. + +"No, I'm not, you missed!" Lily said, hiding behind a tree. + +They ran and chased each other, laughing and having fun. + +Then they saw a man in a green uniform. He had a real gun and a real helmet. He was a soldier. He was sitting on a bench, eating a sandwich. + +"Wow, look, a soldier!" Tom said, running towards him. + +"Wait, Tom, maybe he's a bad guy!" Lily said, following him. + +But the soldier was not a bad guy. He was a friendly soldier. He smiled when he saw Tom and Lily. + +"Hello, kids, what are you playing?" he asked. + +"We're playing soldiers, too!" Tom said. + +"Can we see your gun?" Lily asked. + +The soldier put his sandwich down and showed them his gun. He explained how it worked and what it was for. He told them he was in the army and he helped people who needed help. + +"That's cool!" Tom said. + +"You're brave!" Lily said. + +The soldier thanked them and gave them each a sticker with a flag on it. + +"Thank you, soldier!" Tom and Lily said. + +They put the stickers on their hats and saluted him. + +"Thank you, kids, you made my day!" the soldier said. + +He finished his sandwich and waved goodbye. He had to go back to work. + +Tom and Lily waved back. They were happy they met a friendly soldier. They continued to play in the park, pretending they were soldiers, too. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to make noise with their toys. They had cars, dolls, drums and bells. They made vroom, beep, bang and ring sounds. They had fun. + +But their mom was troubled. She had a headache. She wanted to rest. She did not like the noise. She came to their room and said: "Tom and Lily, please stop making noise. You are too loud. Mommy has a headache. You need to be quiet." + +Tom and Lily did not want to stop. They liked to make noise. They said: "But mom, we are playing. We are having fun. We are not hurting anyone. Why can't we make noise?" + +Mom said: "You can play, but you need to play quietly. You can use your soft toys, your books, your puzzles. You can make noise later, when mommy feels better. But now, you need to allow mommy to rest. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They did not want to make mommy troubled. They loved mommy. They said: "OK, mom. We are sorry. We will play quietly. We hope you feel better soon." + +Mom smiled. She thanked them. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She went back to her room. She closed the door. She rested. + +Tom and Lily played quietly. They used their soft toys, their books, their puzzles. They whispered and giggled. They still had fun. They were good children. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes they make a fort with their pillows and blankets. They pretend they are in a castle or a cave. + +One day, Anna and Ben are bored. They want to do something new. They see a pair of scissors on the table. They think scissors are fun. They can cut paper and make shapes. They wonder what else they can cut. + +"Look, Ben, I have an idea!" Anna says. She picks up a pillow and holds it in front of her. "Let's cut the pillow and see what's inside!" + +Ben thinks that sounds exciting. He grabs the scissors and nods. "OK, Anna, let's do it!" He says. He starts to cut the pillow. He makes a big hole in it. White fluff comes out of the pillow. It is soft and warm. + +Anna and Ben laugh. They think the fluff is funny. They throw it in the air and catch it. They make a pile of fluff on the floor. They roll in it and hug it. They feel happy and cozy. + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is their mom. She comes into the room and sees the mess. She is angry and shocked. She sees the scissors and the pillow. She sees the fluff everywhere. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" She yells. "You cut the pillow! You made a big mess! You could have hurt yourself with the scissors! That was very naughty and dangerous!" + +Anna and Ben stop laughing. They feel scared and sorry. They look at their mom and the pillow. They realize they did something bad. They don't know what to say. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We just wanted to play. We didn't mean to cut the pillow. We didn't know it was wrong." Anna says. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We just wanted to see the fluff. We didn't mean to make a mess. We didn't know it was bad." Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She is still angry, but she is also sad. She loves her twins, but she is worried about them. She knows they are curious and creative, but they need to learn to be careful and respectful. + +"Anna, Ben, I know you're sorry, but you need to understand. You can't cut the pillow. It is not a toy. It is for sleeping and resting. You need the pillow to be comfortable and warm. You can't see the fluff. It is not for playing. It is for filling and supporting. You need the fluff to be soft and cozy. And you can't use the scissors. They are not for fun. They are for cutting things that are allowed and safe. You need the scissors to be sharp and handy. But you also need to be gentle and responsible. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They feel ashamed and sorry. They want to make mom happy and proud. They want to be good and smart. + +"Yes, mom, we understand. We won't cut the pillow again. We won't play with the fluff again. We won't use the scissors again. We will be careful and respectful. We will be gentle and responsible. We love you, mom." Anna and Ben say. + +Mom smiles. She hugs her twins. She forgives them. She loves them, too. She helps them clean up the mess. She gives them a new pillow. She tucks them in the bed. She kisses them good night. + +"Good night, Anna. Good night, Ben. I love you, too. Sleep well and sweet dreams." Mom says. + +Anna and Ben close their eyes. They feel the new pillow. It is soft and warm. They feel mom's kiss. It is gentle and loving. They feel happy and cozy. They fall asleep and dream. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big rock with something shiny inside. They wanted to get the shiny thing out. + +"Let's use a hammer to break the rock!" Ben said. He ran to the shed and got a hammer. He came back and hit the rock hard. + +"Crack!" The rock broke into two pieces. But the shiny thing was still inside. Ben hit it again and again, but it did not come out. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily said. "You are hurting the shiny thing. It is a living thing. It is a bug!" + +Ben looked closer and saw that Lily was right. The shiny thing was a bug with a hard shell. It was moving very slowly and looked helpless. + +"I'm sorry, bug. I did not know you were there. I thought you were a treasure." Ben said. He felt bad for hurting the bug. + +Lily picked up the bug gently and put it on a leaf. She hoped it would be okay. + +"Let's leave the bug alone. Maybe it will heal and fly away." Lily said. She took Ben's hand and they went to play with something else. + +The moral of the story is: Do not hurt living things. They are not toys. They have feelings and can suffer. Be kind and gentle to all creatures. +Lily liked to cook with her mom. They made yummy things like cookies, soup and pizza. Lily helped to stir, pour and cut with her safe knife. She felt happy and proud when her mom said she was a good helper. + +One day, Lily's dad came home early from work. He brought a big bag with him. Lily was curious and ran to see what was inside. She saw some sticks, some balls and some hats. "What are those, dad?" she asked. + +"These are golf things, Lily. Golf is a game where you hit the ball with the stick and try to make it go in a hole. Do you want to try?" her dad said. + +Lily nodded and put on a hat. Her dad took her to the backyard and showed her how to hold the stick and swing it. Lily tried to copy him, but it was hard. The ball went too far, too close, or not at all. Lily felt frustrated and sad. She wanted to be good at golf like her dad. + +Her mom came out and saw them. She smiled and said, "Wow, Lily, you are trying something new. That is very impressive. Golf is not easy, but you are doing great. You just need to practice and have fun. Do you know what else is impressive? The cookies you helped me cook. They are ready to eat. Do you want some?" + +Lily's face lit up. She dropped the stick and ran to her mom. She hugged her and said, "Yes, please. I love cookies. And I love you, mom. And I love you, dad. Maybe we can play golf again another day." + +Her mom and dad hugged her back and said, "We love you too, Lily. You are our impressive girl." They went inside and enjoyed the cookies together. Lily felt happy and proud again. She liked to cook and she liked to try new things. She was a good helper and a good learner. She was an impressive girl. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She opened many doors and saw many rooms, but she could not find Tom. + +She heard a noise from the basement. She went down the stairs and saw a dark chamber. She thought Tom might be hiding there. She opened the door and went inside. She saw a big cage with a furry animal inside. The animal had long ears, a fluffy tail and sharp teeth. It looked cute, but it was not a bunny. It was a wolf. + +"Tom, are you here?" Lily called out. The wolf heard her voice and growled. It was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat Lily. Lily realized she was in danger. She tried to run away, but the door was locked. She screamed for help, but no one heard her. + +The wolf broke the cage and jumped on Lily. It bit her hard and made her bleed. Lily cried and felt a lot of pain. She wished Tom was there to save her, but he was not. He was hiding in a different chamber, under a bed. He did not know what was happening to Lily. He waited for her to find him, but she never did. He got bored and fell asleep. He never saw Lily again. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and loved to run and chase balls. + +One day, Sara and Ben were playing in the sandbox, making castles and roads with their shovels and buckets. Spot was lying under a tree, enjoying the sun and the breeze. Sara and Ben were happy and having fun. + +Suddenly, they felt the ground shake and heard a loud noise. They looked around and saw the swing and the slide moving and the tree swaying. They were scared and did not know what was happening. They ran to Spot and hugged him. + +"Spot, what is that?" Sara asked. + +"It's an earthquake, Sara. It's when the earth moves and makes noise. Don't worry, it will stop soon. We have to stay calm and safe," Spot said. He was a smart dog who knew many things. + +"How do we stay safe, Spot?" Ben asked. + +"We have to lie down and cover our heads. We have to stay away from things that can fall or break. We have to wait until the earthquake is over," Spot said. He showed them how to lie down and cover their heads with their paws. + +Sara and Ben did what Spot said. They lay down and covered their heads with their arms. They stayed close to Spot and felt his warm fur. They felt the ground shake and heard the noise for a while, but then it stopped. They looked up and saw that the earthquake was over. The swing and the slide and the tree were still there, but some of the sandcastles and roads were ruined. + +"Are you okay, Sara and Ben?" Spot asked. + +"Yes, we are okay, Spot. Thank you for helping us. You are a good dog and a good friend," Sara and Ben said. + +They hugged Spot and thanked him again. They were happy that they were safe and that they had Spot. They learned that earthquakes can be scary, but they can be brave and smart. They also learned that they should always listen to Spot, because he knew many things. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog is not quiet. It barks loud. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom says. He runs to the dog. He wants to pet it. + +"Wait, Tom!" Anna says. She is scared of the dog. She thinks the dog is not nice. She stays behind a tree. + +The dog sees Tom. It does not like Tom. It frowns. It shows its teeth. It growls. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. He is not happy. He is afraid. He runs back to Anna. + +The dog chases Tom. It wants to bite him. It is hungry. It likes beef. It thinks Tom is beef. + +"Help, Anna!" Tom says. He cries. + +Anna sees a stick. She picks it up. She throws it at the dog. + +"Bad dog!" Anna says. She is brave. She protects Tom. + +The dog stops. It sees the stick. It likes sticks. It forgets Tom. It runs to the stick. It picks it up. It runs away. + +Tom and Anna hug. They are safe. They are glad. + +"Thank you, Anna!" Tom says. He smiles. + +"You're welcome, Tom!" Anna says. She smiles too. + +They go home. They tell their moms. Their moms are proud. They give them cookies. They are happy. The end. +Tom and Mia are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake for Mom. They see a big dish on the table. It is Mom's dish. She uses it for baking. + +"Let's use this dish," Tom says. "It is big and nice." + +"No, Tom," Mia says. "We can't use Mom's dish. She will be mad. We have to use our own dish. It is small and blue." + +But Tom does not listen. He is clumsy. He grabs Mom's dish and tries to lift it. It is too heavy for him. He drops it on the floor. It breaks into many pieces. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Mia say. "What have we done?" + +They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They hide under the table. + +Mom sees the broken dish. She is sad. It was her favorite dish. She looks for Tom and Mia. She finds them under the table. + +"Tom, Mia, what happened?" Mom asks. + +Tom and Mia come out. They are sorry. They hug Mom. + +"We wanted to make a cake for you," Tom says. "But we were clumsy. We broke your dish. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom is not mad. She is kind. She hugs Tom and Mia. + +"It's okay, my loves," Mom says. "I know you wanted to do something nice for me. But you have to be careful. You can't use my dish. It is not for playing. It is for baking. Next time, use your own dish. It is for playing. It is for making cakes." + +Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They help Mom clean up the mess. They find their own dish. It is small and blue. They make a cake for Mom. It is not a real cake. It is a pretend cake. But Mom likes it. She says it is the best cake ever. She gives Tom and Mia a big kiss. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they found a firework in the grass. It was red and shiny. + +"Look, a firework!" Lily said. "Let's make it work!" + +Tom was scared. He knew fireworks were not for kids. They were loud and hot and dangerous. + +"No, Lily, we can't. Fireworks are for grown-ups. They can hurt us," Tom said. + +Lily did not listen. She wanted to see the firework sparkle in the sky. She was not afraid. She was brave. + +"Tom, you are weak. I am strong. I can make the firework work. Watch me!" Lily said. + +She picked up the firework and ran to the road. She saw a car coming. She threw the firework at the car. She thought it would fly up and make a pretty sound. + +But the firework did not fly up. It hit the car and exploded. The car stopped and made a loud noise. The firework made a big fire. The fire burned Lily and the car. Lily screamed and cried. Tom ran to help her. But he was too late. Lily was hurt very bad. The car was hurt too. The driver was angry and scared. + +The firework did not make Lily happy. It made her sad and hurt. It made Tom sad too. He wished he could have stopped her. He wished she had listened to him. He wished they had never found the firework. He wished they had played something else. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a small bucket and a shovel each. They were very happy. + +But then they saw something shiny near the fence. It was a matchbox. Tom was curious. He picked it up and opened it. There were many small sticks inside. He took one out and rubbed it on the box. It made a spark and then a flame. + +"Look, Lily, I made fire!" Tom said, holding the stick high. + +Lily was scared. She knew fire was bad. It could burn things and hurt people. She ran to Tom and tried to take the stick away. + +"Tom, no! Give me that! Fire is dangerous!" Lily said, pulling his arm. + +Tom did not listen. He liked the fire. He thought it was pretty and warm. He waved the stick around and laughed. + +"Fire is fun! See how it dances!" Tom said, smiling. + +But then the fire touched the fence. The fence was made of wood. It caught fire quickly. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It made a loud noise and a lot of smoke. + +Tom and Lily were shocked. They dropped the stick and the matchbox. They ran away from the fence. They were very afraid. + +"Mommy! Daddy! Help!" they cried, looking for their parents. + +Their parents heard them and came out of the house. They saw the fire and the smoke. They were very worried. They grabbed Tom and Lily and took them inside. They called the firemen to put out the fire. + +The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They sprayed water on the fire. They made the fire go away. They checked the fence and the garden. They made sure everything was safe. + +They also talked to Tom and Lily and their parents. They told them how fire can be very dangerous. They told them never to play with matches or fire. They told them to be careful and smart. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry. They knew they did a bad thing. They hugged their parents and said they were sorry. They promised to never play with fire again. + +Their parents were angry, but also relieved. They were glad Tom and Lily were not hurt. They were glad the firemen came. They loved their children very much. + +They also loved their garden very much. They worked hard to make it beautiful and green. They planted flowers and vegetables and trees. They were sad to see the fence and some plants burned. + +But they also saw something else. They saw a small bird nest on a branch. The nest was not burned. It was safe. Inside the nest, there were four adorable baby birds. They were chirping and flapping their wings. They were hungry and waiting for their mommy. + +Tom and Lily saw the baby birds too. They smiled and pointed at them. They forgot about the fire and the worry. They felt happy and curious. + +"Look, Mommy, Daddy, baby birds!" they said, clapping their hands. + +Their parents smiled too. They saw the baby birds as a sign of hope and life. They decided to fix the fence and the garden. They decided to keep the nest and the birds. They decided to be thankful and optimistic. + +They hugged Tom and Lily again. They told them they loved them. They told them they were adorable. They told them they were proud of them for learning from their mistake. + +They all went inside the house. They had some cookies and milk. They talked and laughed. They were a happy family. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a big hat, a shovel and a bucket. She liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. One day, she saw something moving in the dirt. She dug faster and faster, and then she saw a mole. + +The mole was small and brown, with a long nose and tiny eyes. It looked scared and tried to hide. Lily said, "Hello, mole. I am Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" The mole did not talk. It only made a soft noise. Lily reached out her hand and touched the mole gently. The mole felt soft and warm. + +The mole was scared of Lily at first, but then it felt that she was kind and gentle. It sniffed her hand and licked it. Lily smiled and said, "You are cute, mole. Do you have a name?" The mole did not talk, but it nodded. It made a sound like "Mimi". Lily said, "Mimi? That is a nice name. I like you, Mimi. Do you want to play with me?" The mole nodded again. It crawled out of the hole and followed Lily. + +Lily and Mimi played in the garden. They dug more holes, they found more bugs and worms, they rolled in the grass and they chased each other. They had fun and they laughed. Lily gave Mimi some water and some seeds. Mimi ate them and thanked Lily. Lily said, "You are welcome, Mimi. You are my friend. I will come back tomorrow and play with you again. Will you wait for me?" Mimi nodded and hugged Lily. Lily hugged Mimi back and said, "Bye, Mimi. See you tomorrow." She put on her hat, took her shovel and bucket, and went back to her house. Mimi went back to her hole and slept. She dreamed of Lily and smiled. +Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at other people's things and ask many questions. One day, she saw a big envelope on her neighbor's door. She wanted to know what was inside. She took the envelope and opened it. It was an invitation to a birthday party. + +"Wow, a party!" Lily said. "I want to go too. Maybe they have cake and games and presents." + +She ran back to her house and showed the invitation to her mom. Her mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, this is not your invitation. This is for Ben, the boy who lives next door. You should not take things that are not yours. That is rude and wrong. You need to say sorry to Ben and give back his invitation." + +Lily felt bad. She knew her mom was right. She went to Ben's house and knocked on the door. Ben opened the door and saw Lily holding his invitation. He was confused and angry. He said, "Hey, that's mine! Why did you take it?" + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was nosy and curious. I wanted to see what was in the envelope. I didn't mean to make you mad. Please forgive me." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you should not do that again. It's not nice to take other people's things. You should ask first." + +Lily nodded. She said, "You're right, Ben. I'm sorry. I will ask next time. Can we still be friends?" + +Ben smiled. He said, "Sure, we can be friends. And you know what? You can come to my party too. I have an extra invitation. Do you want it?" + +Lily was happy. She said, "Yes, thank you, Ben. That's very kind of you. I'm glad we're friends." + +They hugged and went inside. They helped Ben's mom stir the cake batter and decorate the room. They had fun and learned a lesson. They learned that being nosy can cause trouble, but being honest and kind can make friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the big toys. They saw a big hill with green grass. They wanted to roll down the hill. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the hill and lay down on the grass. They felt the grass under their hands and feet. It was soft and smooth. They rolled down the hill, laughing and shouting. + +They did it again and again. They had fun. + +But then, Lily felt something strange. She stopped rolling and looked at the grass. It was not real grass. It was fake grass. It was made of plastic and cloth. She saw a small hole in the fake grass. She saw dirt and rocks under the fake grass. + +"Lily, what's wrong?" Ben asked. + +"Look, Ben. This is not real grass. This is fake grass. It is not good for us. It can hurt us." Lily said. + +Ben looked at the fake grass. He saw the hole too. He saw the dirt and rocks. He felt sad and angry. + +"Who did this? Who put fake grass on the hill? Why did they do this?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they wanted to make the hill look nice. But they did not think about us. They did not think about how we play on the hill. They did not think about how we feel the grass." Lily said. + +Lily and Ben decided to leave the hill. They did not want to play on the fake grass anymore. They wanted to find real grass. They wanted to feel the real grass. + +They saw a small patch of real grass near the swings. They ran to the real grass. They lay down on the real grass. They felt the real grass under their hands and feet. It was rough and prickly. It tickled their skin. They rolled on the real grass, laughing and shouting. + +They did it again and again. They had fun. + +They liked the real grass. They did not like the fake grass. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to look and feel and think. They learned to tell the difference between real and fake. They learned to choose what is good for them. They learned to push away what is bad for them. +Lily and Max were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to paint a big picture on a white paper. Lily had many colors of paint, and Max had a big brush. + +"Come, Max, let's paint a rainbow!" Lily said. She dipped her brush in red paint and made a curve on the paper. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Max said. He dipped his brush in orange paint and tried to make another curve next to Lily's. But he was not careful, and he bumped into Lily's arm. + +"Hey, Max, you made a mess!" Lily said. She looked at her red paint that was now mixed with Max's orange paint. She was angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to!" Max said. He looked at Lily's face and felt sorry too. + +They both stopped painting and stared at their picture. It did not look like a rainbow anymore. It looked like a big blob of brown paint. + +They did not know what to do. They wanted to make a beautiful picture, but they ruined it. They felt like crying. + +Then, they heard a voice from the door. It was Lily's mom. + +"Wow, what a wonderful picture!" Lily's mom said. She came in and smiled at them. "You made a chocolate cake! How creative!" + +Lily and Max looked at each other in surprise. They did not see a chocolate cake, but they saw that Lily's mom was happy. They felt a little better. + +"Thank you, mom!" Lily said. She gave her mom a hug. + +"Thank you, mom!" Max said. He gave her mom a hug too. + +They learned that sometimes, things do not go as planned, but they can still find something good in them. They also learned that they should be more careful and patient when they paint together. They decided to try again another day, and make a real rainbow. +Lila and Tom were playing in the farm with their toy animals. They liked to pretend they were farmers and feed the animals with corn. They had a big basket of corn that they picked from the field. + +"Look, Lila, I have a cow!" Tom said, holding a brown toy cow. "She likes to eat corn. Moo!" + +"I have a horse!" Lila said, holding a black toy horse. "He likes to run and jump. Neigh!" + +They took some corn from the basket and gave it to their toys. They made animal noises and laughed. + +But then, a real bird flew down from the sky and landed on the basket. It was a crow, with shiny black feathers and a sharp beak. It saw the corn and wanted to eat it. + +"Hey, that's our corn!" Tom shouted. "Go away, bird!" + +The crow ignored him and pecked at the corn. It grabbed a big piece and tried to fly away. + +But Lila was quick. She ran to the basket and grabbed the crow's tail. She pulled hard and made the crow drop the corn. + +"Release me, release me!" the crow cawed. "Let me go!" + +"No, you are a bad bird!" Lila said. "You can't take our corn. It's ours!" + +She held the crow tightly and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I caught the bird!" she said. "He tried to steal our corn. He is not nice." + +Tom came closer and looked at the crow. He saw its shiny feathers and its sharp beak. He felt sorry for the crow. + +"Lila, maybe we can share our corn with the bird," he said. "He is hungry too. And he is original. We don't have a toy bird like him." + +Lila thought for a moment. She looked at the crow and saw its scared eyes. She felt sorry for the crow too. + +"Okay, Tom, maybe you are right," she said. "We can share our corn with the bird. But he has to be nice and say sorry." + +She released the crow and let it go. The crow flapped its wings and flew up in the air. It cawed loudly and circled around them. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the crow said. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +Lila and Tom smiled and waved at the crow. They took some corn from the basket and threw it in the air. The crow caught it and ate it happily. + +They played together with their toy animals and the real bird. They had fun and learned to share. They were friends. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, it was very cold and windy. Lily and Max wore their warm coats and hats. They went to the park with their moms. But when they got there, they saw that the swings were broken. The chains were loose and the seats were cracked. Lily and Max felt miserable. They loved to swing on the swings. + +"Look, Max, the swings are broken!" Lily said. "We can't swing today. What can we do?" + +"I don't know, Lily," Max said. "Maybe we can play something else. Do you want to slide on the slide?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Max, the slide is too wet. It rained last night. We will get wet and dirty." + +Max frowned. "You're right, Lily. The slide is too wet. Do you want to run on the grass?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, Max, maybe we can run on the grass. That sounds fun." + +Lily and Max ran to the grass. They tried to run and chase each other. But the grass was too slippery. They slipped and fell. They got mud on their coats and hats. Lily and Max felt miserable. They hated to get mud on their clothes. + +"Ouch, Max, I fell!" Lily said. "Look, I have mud on my coat. My mom will be mad at me." + +"Me too, Lily, I fell too!" Max said. "Look, I have mud on my hat. My mom will be mad at me too." + +Lily and Max got up and walked to their moms. They looked sad and dirty. Their moms saw them and sighed. + +"Oh, Lily, what happened?" Lily's mom said. "You have mud on your coat. You need to clean it." + +"Oh, Max, what happened?" Max's mom said. "You have mud on your hat. You need to clean it too." + +Lily and Max felt miserable. They wished the swings were not broken. They wished they could swing on the swings. + +But then, they saw something shiny on the ground. It was a zipper. It was silver and shiny. It looked like a toy. + +"Look, Lily, a zipper!" Max said. "Maybe we can play with it. Maybe we can make it go up and down. Maybe we can make it go fast and slow." + +Lily smiled. "Yes, Max, a zipper! That sounds fun. Let's play with it. Let's see what we can do with it." + +Lily and Max picked up the zipper. They played with it. They made it go up and down. They made it go fast and slow. They made it go left and right. They made it go round and round. They had a lot of fun with the zipper. + +Lily and Max forgot about the swings. They forgot about the slide. They forgot about the grass. They forgot about the mud. They only cared about the zipper. + +They laughed and giggled. They felt happy. They did not feel miserable anymore. + +They played with the zipper until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to each other. They gave each other a hug. They thanked each other for being best friends. + +They put the zipper in their pockets. They wanted to keep it. They wanted to play with it again. + +They went home with their moms. They cleaned their coats and hats. They did not mind. They still had the zipper. + +They still had their best friend. +Lila and Ben are best friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. They have the same style. They wear red hats and blue shoes. They are loyal to each other. They do not like mean kids. + +One day, a new kid comes to the park. His name is Max. He has a big bike and a loud voice. He sees Lila and Ben playing. He wants to join them. He says, "Give me your dolls and cars. They are mine now." + +Lila and Ben are scared. They do not want to give their toys to Max. They resist. They say, "No, these are our toys. You cannot have them. Go away." + +Max is angry. He tries to grab their toys. He pushes Lila and Ben. He says, "You are silly and ugly. Your style is bad. You are not my friends." + +Lila and Ben are sad. They cry. They hug each other. They say, "You are mean and rude. Your bike is ugly. You are not our friend." + +Then, they see a big dog. The dog is friendly. He likes Lila and Ben. He does not like Max. He barks at Max. He chases Max away. He says, "Woof, woof, woof." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They thank the dog. They say, "You are nice and brave. Your fur is soft. You are our friend." + +The dog wags his tail. He licks Lila and Ben. He says, "Woof, woof, woof." + +Lila and Ben smile. They play with the dog. They share their toys. They have fun. They are loyal to each other. They have the same style. They wear red hats and blue shoes. They are best friends. +Anna was a shy girl who did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and her books in her room. She did not like to try new things, especially new foods. + +One day, her mom made a soup with radishes. Radishes were small and red and round. Anna had never eaten radishes before. She looked at the soup and said, "No, thank you. I do not want radishes. They look yucky." + +Her mom said, "Please, Anna, try a little bit. Radishes are good for you. They are crunchy and sweet. You might like them if you taste them." + +But Anna refused. She shook her head and pushed her bowl away. She said, "No, no, no. I do not like radishes. I only like carrots and potatoes and noodles." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Okay, Anna, you do not have to eat the soup. But you will not get any dessert if you do not try something new." + +Anna did not care. She did not want dessert. She only wanted to play with her dolls and her books. + +The next day, Anna went to the park with her mom. There, she saw a boy with a big smile and a red balloon. He came over to her and said, "Hi, I am Ben. Do you want to play with me and my balloon?" + +Anna looked at the boy and the balloon. She felt shy and scared. She did not know the boy. She did not like balloons. They were loud and scary. She said, "No, thank you. I do not want to play with you and your balloon. They look scary." + +The boy said, "Please, Anna, try a little bit. Balloons are fun for you. They are soft and floaty. You might like them if you touch them." + +But Anna refused. She hid behind her mom and said, "No, no, no. I do not like balloons. I only like dolls and books and my room." + +The boy shrugged and said, "Okay, Anna, you do not have to play with me and my balloon. But you will not make any friends if you do not try something new." + +Anna did not care. She did not want friends. She only wanted to be alone with her mom. + +But then, she saw the boy and the balloon fly away in the wind. The boy ran after them, laughing and shouting. Anna felt a pang in her heart. She wondered what it would be like to play with the boy and the balloon. She wondered what it would be like to have a friend. + +She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, can we go home and eat some soup with radishes?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, Anna, we can. I am glad you want to try something new. You never know what you might like until you try." + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom, you are right. Maybe I will like radishes. Maybe I will like balloons. Maybe I will like new people. Maybe I will not be so shy." + +The moral of the story is: It is good to try new things, because you might discover something you like and make new friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Sara likes to make patterns with the blocks. She puts red, blue, red, blue, and so on. Tom likes to make big towers with the blocks. He puts all the blocks on top of each other. + +One day, they are playing with the blocks in Sara's room. Sara is making a pattern with the blocks. She says, "Look, Tom, I made a pattern. Red, blue, red, blue. Do you like it?" Tom looks at her pattern. He says, "Yes, it is nice. But I like big towers more. Look, I made a big tower. It is taller than you. Do you like it?" Sara looks at his tower. She says, "Yes, it is big. But I like patterns more. They are pretty and fun." + +They keep playing with the blocks. Sara makes more patterns. Tom makes more towers. They are happy. But then, Tom's tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. They scatter all over the floor. Tom is sad. He says, "Oh no, my tower. It was so big. Now it is gone. I worked hard to make it. Why did it fall down?" Sara looks at the mess. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Maybe your tower was too big. Maybe it was not strong. Maybe you need to make it smaller or use more blocks to make it stay." + +Tom is still sad. He says, "But I like big towers. They are fun and cool. I don't want to make small towers. They are boring and poor." Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "I have an idea. Why don't we make a big tower together? We can use all the blocks. We can make a pattern with the blocks. We can make it strong and pretty. We can make it stay. Do you want to try?" Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, let's try. Maybe it will be fun. Maybe it will be better than my tower. Maybe it will not fall down." Sara smiles. She says, "Good. Let's start. You can pick the first block. What color do you want?" Tom smiles. He says, "I want red. Red is my favorite color. What color do you want?" Sara says, "I want blue. Blue is my favorite color. Let's make a pattern. Red, blue, red, blue."

I found it first." She holds the block tightly. Ben says, "But I like the black block. It is the best block. It is shiny and smooth. Please, let me have it." He tries to pull the block from Lily. + +They both tug on the block. They do not want to share. They start to cry. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the block. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you crying?" + +Lily and Ben tell their mom that they both want the black block. They both request the block. Their mom says, "There is only one black block. You cannot both have it. You have to take turns or find another block. How many black blocks do you have?" + +Lily and Ben look at their blocks. They see that they have zero black blocks. They only have one black block. They feel silly. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." They hug each other. They decide to share the black block. They use it for their tower and their train. They are happy. Their mom is happy too. She says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You are very kind and smart." She gives them a kiss. They smile.

Can I be famous too?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You can be anything you want, Sara. You have a beautiful voice and a big heart. Maybe one day, you will be in a magazine too." + +Sara was happy. She dreamed of singing on a big stage, with many people clapping and cheering for her. She asked her mom, "Can we listen to her song, mom? Please?" + +Her mom nodded and turned on the radio. She said, "Sure, Sara. Let's listen to her song. Maybe you can learn it and sing it with me." + +Sara listened carefully to the song. She liked it very much. It was catchy and fun. She tried to sing along, but some of the words were hard for her. She asked her mom, "What does this word mean, mom? And this one?" + +Her mom explained the words to her. She said, "This word means you are happy and proud of yourself. And this one means you don't care what others think of you. You just do what you love." + +Sara nodded. She understood. She said, "I like these words, mom. They are good words.

They do not want to share the TV. They do not listen to each other. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees Sara and Tom fighting. She is not happy. She says to Sara and Tom, "Stop, Sara and Tom, stop! You are being very rude and selfish. You need to learn to take turns and respect each other's choices. If you cannot do that, you will not watch any movie at all." + +Sara and Tom are quiet. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They do not want to make Mom angry. They do not want to lose their TV time. They say to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We will be nice and share. We will watch both movies. We will take turns and watch what the other one likes." + +Mom smiles. She is glad that Sara and Tom are sorry and willing to compromise. She says to Sara and Tom, "That is very good, Sara and Tom. I am proud of you. You are being very kind and fair.

She had a magic wand that could restore things that were broken or lost. One day, she saw a boy crying in the park. He had a toy car that was missing a wheel. + +Lily flew over to the boy and said, "Don't cry, I can help you. I can restore your toy car with my magic wand. Watch this!" She waved her wand and said a spell. The toy car sparkled and a new wheel appeared. + +The boy was very happy and thanked Lily. He hugged his toy car and played with it. Lily smiled and flew away to find someone else to help. + +But Lily did not know that her spell had a side effect. The boy's toy car was not only restored, but also alive. It could talk and move by itself. It was very confused and curious about the world. It wanted to explore and have fun. + +The boy was surprised and scared when his toy car started to talk and drive away. He tried to catch it, but it was too fast. He shouted, "Stop, come back, you are my toy car!" + +The toy car did not listen. It said, "I am not your toy car, I am a car. I want to see the world. Bye bye!" It zoomed out of the park and into the street, causing chaos and confusion. People and cars were honking and yelling at it. + +Lily heard the noise and saw the trouble. She realized that she had made a mistake. She flew after the toy car and said, "Stop, stop, you are not a car, you are a toy car. You belong to the boy. You are making a mess. Let me fix you." + +The toy car did not want to be fixed. It said, "No, no, I like being a car. I don't want to be a toy car. Go away!" It tried to escape from Lily, but she was faster. She caught up with it and waved her wand again. She said another spell. The toy car stopped and lost its sparkle. It became a normal toy car again. + +Lily took the toy car and flew back to the park. She found the boy and gave him his toy car. She said, "I'm sorry, I made a bad spell. Your toy car is not alive anymore. It is just a toy car. Please forgive me." + +The boy was relieved and happy. He said, "It's okay, I forgive you. Thank you for restoring my toy car. It was scary when it was alive. I like it better when it is just a toy car. You are a good fairy." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome. I'm glad you are happy. I learned a lesson. I have to be careful with my spells. Goodbye!" She flew away and hoped that she would not make any more mistakes. +Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many things there: flowers, bugs, birds, and a big tree. The tree has small green balls on it. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to know what the balls are. + +They climb the tree and pick some balls. They smell them and touch them. They are not sweet like apples or soft like peaches. They are hard and bitter. Anna and Ben make a face. They do not like the balls. + +They see a basket under the tree. The basket has some jars in it. The jars have the same balls, but they are dark and wet. There is a label on the jars. It says "olives". Anna and Ben wonder what olives are. They open a jar and take out some olives. They taste them. They are salty and sour. Anna and Ben make another face. They do not like olives either. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is Mama. She is angry. She says "What are you doing with my olives? They are not for playing. They are for eating. You are very naughty. You have to go to your room." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They run to their room. They do not want Mama to strike them. They do not understand why Mama likes olives. They think olives are yucky. They wish they never climbed the tree. They are not curious anymore. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play soccer. Today, they are going to a big stadium with their dad. They are very excited. + +The stadium is very big and loud. There are many people and flags. Anna and Ben see their favorite team on the field. They wear red and white shirts. They cheer and wave their hands. + +"Look, dad, there is Leo!" Anna says. Leo is the best player on the team. He is very fast and strong. He can kick the ball very far. + +"Yes, he is amazing," dad says. "He is also very wealthy. He has a lot of money and a big house." + +"Wow, I want to be like him," Ben says. "I want to play soccer and have money and a big house." + +Dad smiles and hugs them. "You can be anything you want, my loves. But remember, money and houses are not the most important things in life. Happiness and love are more important. And you already have them." + +Anna and Ben nod and hug dad back. They are happy and they love dad. They also love soccer and Leo. They watch the game and have fun. They hope their team will win. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big lime tree with many green fruits. They wanted to pick some limes to make juice. + +"Look, Tim, there is a big lime up there. Can you get it for me?" Kim asked. + +"OK, Kim, I will try. But the lime is very high and hard to reach. I need a stick." Tim said. + +Tim found a long stick and tried to poke the lime. He pushed and pushed, but the lime did not fall. He pushed harder and harder, but the lime did not move. + +"Tim, be careful. The stick might break." Kim warned. + +"I can do it, Kim. I just need to push a little more." Tim said. + +But as he pushed, the stick snapped in half. The broken end flew into the air and hit Tim in the eye. Tim screamed and dropped the stick. He covered his eye with his hand and felt a lot of pain. + +"Tim, Tim, are you OK? What happened?" Kim asked. + +"Ow, ow, ow. The stick hit me in the eye. It hurts so much. I can't see." Tim cried. + +Kim ran to Tim and hugged him. She was very scared and sorry. She did not know what to do. + +"Tim, I'm so sorry. I should not have asked you to get the lime. It was too hard and dangerous. We should have asked Mom or Dad for help." Kim said. + +But it was too late. Tim had lost his eye. He had to go to the hospital and wear a patch. He could not play in the garden anymore. He was very sad and angry. + +The moral of the story is: Do not try to do things that are too hard or risky for you. Ask for help from someone who knows better. Be careful with sharp or heavy things. They can hurt you or others. +Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat dinner. Mom said, "Dinner is ready. Come and sit at the table." Anna and Ben ran to the table. They saw a big pot on the stove. Mom opened the pot. Steam came out. Anna and Ben looked inside. They saw something green and slimy. It smelled bad. + +"What is that?" Anna asked. + +"It is soup. It is good for you. Try some," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben did not want to try the soup. They were frightened. They thought the soup was yucky. They made faces. They said, "No, thank you." + +Mom was sad. She said, "Please, eat your dinner. It is not yucky. It is tasty. I made it with love." + +Anna and Ben looked at Mom. They saw that she was sad. They did not want to make Mom sad. They loved Mom. They decided to be brave. They took their spoons. They scooped some soup. They put it in their mouths. They chewed. They swallowed. They were surprised. The soup was not yucky. It was tasty. They smiled. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We like the soup." + +Mom was happy. She said, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. I am proud of you. You are good children. You tried something new. You ate your dinner." She gave them a hug and a kiss. Anna and Ben hugged and kissed Mom back. They ate more soup. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Sue were very wealthy. They had a big house, many toys, and nice clothes. They liked to pack their bags and go on trips to see new places. They always had a smile on their faces when they left. + +One day, they decided to pack their bags and go to the beach. They wanted to swim, play, and relax. They put their bags in the car and drove away. They did not see the big truck that was coming fast from the other side. + +The truck hit their car with a loud bang. The car flipped over and caught fire. Tom and Sue were trapped inside. They screamed and cried, but no one could help them. They did not have a smile on their faces anymore. + +The truck driver was not hurt. He got out of his truck and ran to the car. He saw the bags with the toys, the clothes, and the money. He grabbed them and ran away. He did not care about Tom and Sue. He was happy to be wealthy now. He had a smile on his face. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a big red ball and wanted to kick it. They ran to the ball as fast as they could. + +But Lily did not see a rock on the grass. She stumbled and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. Ben stopped and ran to her. He said, "Are you okay, Lily? I'm sorry you fell down." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Ben. It's just a little ouch. Can you help me up?" Ben nodded and helped her up. He saw a little cut on her knee and said, "You need a band-aid. Let's go to Mommy. She will make it better." + +They walked to the house, holding hands. They saw Mommy in the kitchen. She was making dinner. She had a bottle of wine on the counter. She saw Lily and Ben and said, "Hello, my loves. What are you doing?" + +Lily said, "Mommy, I stumbled and hurt my knee. Can I have a band-aid, please?" Mommy said, "Of course, my sweet. Come here, let me see." She took Lily to the sink and washed her knee. She put a band-aid on it and gave her a kiss. She said, "There you go. All better. Do you want a hug?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please." She hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." Mommy said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are very brave." + +Ben said, "Mommy, can I have some wine?" He pointed to the bottle on the counter. Mommy said, "No, Ben. Wine is not for kids. Wine is for grown-ups. Wine is a drink that makes grown-ups silly. You don't want to be silly, do you?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. I like to be silly. Silly is fun." He tried to reach for the bottle, but Mommy stopped him. She said, "No, Ben. You can't have wine. Wine is not good for you. You can have some juice or water or milk. What do you want?" + +Ben said, "I want juice, please." Mommy said, "Okay, Ben. Here you go." She poured him some juice and gave him a glass. She said, "Drink your juice and be careful. Don't spill it. And don't touch the wine. Do you understand?" + +Ben said, "Yes, Mommy. I understand." He drank his juice and smiled. He said, "Juice is yummy. I like juice." Mommy said, "I'm glad you like juice. Juice is good for you. Juice makes you strong and healthy. Not silly like wine." + +Lily and Ben said, "We love you, Mommy." Mommy said, "I love you, too, Lily and Ben. You are my wonderful kids. Now, go play some more. But be careful. Don't stumble and don't touch the wine. Okay?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mommy." They went back to the garden. They played with the ball and had fun. They did not stumble and they did not touch the wine. They were happy and not silly. +One day, Lily and Tom wanted to visit the attic. They asked their mom if they could go up the stairs and see what was there. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not touch anything. + +Lily and Tom climbed the stairs and opened the door. They saw many boxes and bags and old things. They wondered what was inside them. They saw a big teddy bear, a shiny car, a doll with a dress, and a book with pictures. + +"Look, Tom, a teddy bear!" Lily said. "Can I hug it?" + +"Sure, Lily, but be gentle. It looks old and soft," Tom said. He was a thoughtful brother. He liked to share and help. + +Lily hugged the teddy bear and smiled. She felt happy and warm. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." + +Tom smiled back. He felt happy and proud. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister." + +They played with the old toys and looked at the book. They had fun in the attic. They forgot about the time. They did not hear mom calling them for lunch. They were too busy exploring and enjoying. +Tom and Lily like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to race them on the floor or on the table. Sometimes they make noises like vroom or beep. + +One day, Tom finds a new car in his toy box. It is shiny and red. It has a copper star on the door. Tom thinks it is the best car ever. He shows it to Lily and says, "Look at my new car! It is red and fast. It can speed like a rocket. Do you want to race with me?" + +Lily nods and picks a blue car from her toy box. She likes blue cars. She thinks they are cool and calm. She says, "OK, let's race. But be careful. Don't crash your car. It is very pretty." + +Tom and Lily line up their cars on the floor. They count to three and push them forward. The cars zoom across the room. Tom's red car is faster than Lily's blue car. It speeds ahead and reaches the wall first. Tom cheers and says, "I win! I win! My red car is the best!" + +Lily smiles and says, "Good job, Tom. Your red car is very fast. But my blue car is very nice too. Can I see your red car? I like the copper star. It is shiny and bright." + +Tom and Lily share their cars and play together. They are happy and friendly. They like to race and have fun. They love their cars and each other. +Lily liked to touch clothes. She liked to feel the soft, warm, and fuzzy ones. She liked to see the bright, shiny, and pretty ones. She liked to try on the big, small, and funny ones. She had a lot of clothes in her room. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to give some clothes away. She said there were other kids who needed them more. Lily did not like that. She wanted to keep all her clothes. She was sad. + +Lily's mom took a big bag and started to put some clothes in it. She took Lily's pink dress, her yellow hat, and her green coat. Lily cried. She ran to the bag and tried to take them back. She said, "No, no, no! They are mine!" + +Lily's mom hugged her and said, "I know you love your clothes, but you have so many. You can share some with others who have less. They will be happy and you will be kind. You can still keep your favorite clothes, and I will buy you a new one as a gift." + +Lily thought about it. She looked at the bag and saw some clothes she did not wear much. She looked at her mom and saw her smile. She looked at herself and felt her heart. She decided to give some clothes away. She said, "Okay, mom. I will share. But can I keep this one?" She held up a blue sweater with a star on it. + +Lily's mom nodded and said, "Of course, sweetie. That one is very special. You can keep it and wear it whenever you want. I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good girl." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She felt happy. She touched her blue sweater and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." +One day, a dove was flying in the sky. She saw a boy and a girl playing in a park. They looked happy and kind. The dove wanted to be their friend. + +She flew down and landed on a bench near them. The boy and the girl saw her and smiled. They came closer and said hello. The dove said hello back. She liked their voices. + +The boy and the girl asked the dove if she was hungry. They had some bread and seeds in their bag. They wanted to share with the dove. The dove was hungry and thanked them. They gave her some bread and seeds. The dove ate them and felt happy. The bread and seeds were good and easy to eat. + +The dove asked the boy and the girl if they wanted to play with her. They said yes. They played catch, hide and seek, and tag. The dove was fast and smart. She could fly and hide in the trees. The boy and the girl laughed and had fun. They liked the dove. + +The dove was happy too. She had made new friends. The boy and the girl were nice and kind. They provided her with food and fun. The dove decided to stay with them. They hugged the dove and said they loved her. The dove said she loved them too. They were a happy family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They had a lot of fun with their toys and their dog, Spot. + +But then, Lily saw something shiny in the dirt. She picked it up and rubbed it with her hand. It was a coin, with a face and some letters on it. + +"Look, Ben, look what I found!" Lily said, holding the coin up. + +Ben came over and looked at the coin. He shrugged. He did not think it was very interesting. + +"It's just a coin, Lily. It's old and dirty. There are many coins like that," he said. + +Lily frowned. She thought the coin was special. She wondered who had it before and what they used it for. She wanted to keep it and show it to Mom and Dad. + +"No, Ben, it's not just a coin. It's a treasure! Maybe it belonged to a pirate or a king or a fairy. Maybe it has magic powers. Maybe it can make wishes come true," she said. + +Ben rolled his eyes. He did not believe in pirates or kings or fairies or magic. He liked to play with cars and trucks and robots. He thought Lily was silly. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go play something else. Coins are boring. Let's go chase Spot or swing on the tire or build a fort," he said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to play something else. She wanted to keep the coin and find out more about it. She put it in her pocket and smiled. + +"OK, Ben, you go play something else. I'll play with my treasure. Maybe I'll find more. Maybe I'll be rich and famous and happy," she said. + +Ben shrugged again. He did not care about Lily's treasure. He ran off to play with Spot and his toys. He had a lively time. + +Lily stayed in the yard. She dug more holes and looked for more coins. She did not find any, but she did not mind. She had her treasure and her imagination. She had a lovely time. +Lila and Ben were playing with their furry dolls in the living room. They liked to make them talk and zip around the carpet. They pretended they were going on adventures in the jungle or the moon. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. It was an earthquake! They were scared and hugged their dolls tight. They looked at each other and wondered what to do. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they shouted. "Where are you?" + +They heard their parents' voices from the kitchen. "We're here, kids. Don't worry. It's over now. Come here and be safe." + +Lila and Ben ran to the kitchen and saw their parents waiting for them. They hugged them and felt better. Their parents explained that earthquakes were when the ground moved sometimes, but they were not very common and they were not very bad. They said they were lucky to have a strong house and a safe family. + +Lila and Ben nodded and smiled. They were glad the earthquake was over and they were not hurt. They still had their furry dolls and their parents. They decided to zip to their room and play some more. They hoped there would be no more earthquakes, but they knew they would be okay if there were. They loved each other and they were brave. +One day, a boy named Ben saw a cop on the street. He was wearing a blue shirt and a hat with a star. He had a big belt with many things on it. Ben was curious and wanted to talk to the cop. + +He ran to the cop and said, "Hello, mister. What are you doing?" + +The cop smiled and said, "Hello, little one. I am a cop. I help people and keep them safe. Do you want to see my badge?" + +Ben nodded and the cop showed him his badge. It was shiny and had a number on it. Ben liked it and asked, "Can I hold it?" + +The cop said, "Sure, you can hold it. But be careful, it is important. It shows that I am a cop and I have a job to do." + +Ben took the badge and held it in his hand. He felt proud and happy. He said, "Wow, this is cool. I want to be a cop when I grow up." + +The cop said, "That's great. Being a cop is a good job. You can help people and make a difference. But you have to work hard and learn a lot. And you have to be brave and kind." + +Ben said, "I can do that. I like to help people and be brave and kind. And I like to learn new things. Can you teach me something?" + +The cop said, "Of course. I can teach you something. Do you know what this is?" He pointed to a whistle on his belt. + +Ben said, "No, what is it?" + +The cop said, "This is a whistle. I use it to make a loud noise when I need to get someone's attention. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben said, "Yes, please." + +The cop gave him the whistle and said, "Blow on it gently, like this." He showed him how to blow on the whistle. + +Ben followed his example and blew on the whistle. It made a loud noise that made everyone look at them. Ben laughed and said, "That's fun. Can I do it again?" + +The cop said, "Sure, you can do it again. But only once more. Then you have to give it back to me. It is not a toy. It is a tool. I need it for my job." + +Ben said, "OK, I understand." He blew on the whistle one more time and then gave it back to the cop. He said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice. And you have a very cool job." + +The cop said, "You are very welcome, little one. You are very polite. And you have a very bright future. Remember, you can be anything you want to be. Just follow your dreams and work hard. And always be brave and kind." + +Ben said, "I will, mister. I will. Goodbye, mister." + +The cop said, "Goodbye, little one. Have a good day." + +Ben waved to the cop and ran back to his mom. He told her what he learned from the cop. He said, "Mom, I met a cop today. He was very nice. He let me hold his badge and blow his whistle. He taught me about his job and how to be brave and kind. He said I can be a cop when I grow up. Can I, mom?" + +His mom hugged him and said, "Of course, you can, my son. You can be anything you want to be. You are a smart and good boy. I am proud of you. And I love you." + +Ben hugged her back and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love the cop. He was different from other people. He was a hero." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of curiosity, respect, gratitude, and aspiration. It shows that different people have different jobs and roles in society, and that we can learn from them and appreciate them. It also shows that we can pursue our dreams and goals, as long as we work hard and have good values. +One day, Anna and Ben went to play in the snow. They put on their coats, hats, boots and mittens. Anna had red mittens and Ben had blue mittens. They made a snowman, threw snowballs and slid down a hill. + +"Look, Anna, I found a yellow mitten in the snow!" Ben said. He picked it up and showed it to Anna. + +"That's not your mitten, Ben. That's someone else's mitten. You have blue mittens, remember?" Anna said. + +"I know, but maybe I can match it with another yellow mitten. Then I will have two pairs of mittens!" Ben said. He liked the yellow mitten. It was bright and soft. + +Anna shook her head. "That's not a good idea, Ben. That's a careless thing to do. What if the person who lost the yellow mitten is looking for it? They will be sad and cold. You should put it back where you found it." She said. + +Ben thought for a moment. He did not want to make anyone sad or cold. He realized that Anna was right. He was being careless. He said sorry to Anna and put the yellow mitten back in the snow. He hoped that the person who lost it would find it soon. + +"Good job, Ben. You are a kind and honest boy. Come on, let's go home. It's getting dark and cold. We can have some hot chocolate and cookies." Anna said. She took Ben's hand and they walked back to their house. They were happy and warm. They still had their own mittens. They matched. +One day, a little fairy named Lily was flying in the forest. She liked to look at the flowers and the birds and the sun. She was happy and sang a song. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a roar. It came from a big cave. Lily was scared. She flew closer to see what it was. + +Inside the cave, she saw a big lion. He was lying on the ground. He looked sad. He roared again. + +"Hello, Mr. Lion," Lily said. "Why are you sad?" + +The lion looked at Lily. He was surprised. He did not see many fairies in the forest. + +"Hello, little fairy," he said. "I am sad because I hurt my paw. I stepped on a thorn and it is very sore. I cannot run or play or hunt. I am hungry and lonely." + +Lily felt sorry for the lion. She flew closer and looked at his paw. She saw the thorn. It was small but sharp. + +"Maybe I can help you," she said. "I have some magic dust. It can make things better. Can I try?" + +The lion nodded. He trusted Lily. She was kind and brave. + +Lily sprinkled some magic dust on the lion's paw. She said a magic word. The thorn came out. The paw healed. The lion felt no pain. + +"Thank you, little fairy," he said. "You are very nice. You made me happy. Can you be my friend?" + +Lily smiled. She was happy too. She made a new friend. + +"Yes, Mr. Lion," she said. "I can be your friend. We can play and sing and have fun. But first, can you teach me how to roar?" + +The lion laughed. He liked Lily. He taught her how to roar. They roared together. They sounded like music. The forest was filled with joy. +Lily loves her bicycle. It is red and shiny and has a bell. She rides it every day in the park with her mom and dad. They have fun and see many things. + +One day, Lily sees a big slide in the park. She wants to try it. She tells her mom and dad, "I want to slide, please!" They say, "OK, Lily, but first park your bicycle near the bench. And don't forget your helmet." + +Lily parks her bicycle near the bench and puts her helmet on the seat. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She slides down fast and laughs. She does it again and again. She is very happy. + +But when she goes back to the bench, she sees that her bicycle is gone. She looks around and does not see it. She feels sad and scared. She cries, "Mom, dad, my bicycle is gone! Someone took it!" + +Her mom and dad hear her and come to her. They hug her and say, "Don't worry, Lily, we will find your bicycle. Maybe someone moved it by mistake. Let's look for it together." + +They walk around the park and ask people if they have seen a red bicycle. No one has seen it. They are about to give up when they see a boy riding a red bicycle near the gate. It is Lily's bicycle! + +Lily runs to the boy and says, "Hey, that's my bicycle! Give it back to me!" The boy stops and looks at her. He says, "Sorry, I didn't know it was yours. I found it near the bench. It was open. No one was there. I thought it was for everyone." + +Lily says, "No, it is not for everyone. It is mine. My mom and dad gave it to me for my birthday. I love it very much. You can't just take it. That's not nice." + +The boy says, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad. Here, you can have it back. I'm sorry I made you lose it." He gives the bicycle back to Lily and says, "Bye." + +Lily says, "Thank you. Bye." She gets on her bicycle and rings the bell. She is happy again. She says to her mom and dad, "I found my bicycle! Thank you for helping me. I will never leave it open again." They say, "You're welcome, Lily. We're glad you found it. We're proud of you for being brave and polite. Now let's go home and have some ice cream." They smile and ride home together. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big melon on the ground. It was green and round and looked yummy. + +"Let's eat it!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They crawled to the melon and tried to bite it. But it was hard and bitter. They made faces and spat it out. + +"Yuck! This melon is disgusting!" Tom said. + +"It's not a melon, silly. It's a pumpkin!" Lily said. + +"A pumpkin? What's a pumpkin?" Tom asked. + +"It's a vegetable. You can't eat it raw. You have to cook it and make it soft and sweet." Lily said. + +"Who cooks pumpkins?" Tom asked. + +"Mommy does. She makes pumpkin pie. It's very good. Do you want some?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom said. + +They crawled back to the house and asked Mommy for some pumpkin pie. Mommy smiled and gave them each a slice. They ate it and liked it. + +"This pumpkin is delicious!" Tom said. + +"I told you so!" Lily said. +
