They were very happy and proud. They thanked their dad and gave him a hug. Then they put their train on the track and made it go again. It was faster and louder than before. They played with their train until it was dark. They had a lot of fun with their train. +Tom was a farmer who had a great big farm. He had many cows and pigs and chickens and sheep. He liked to feed them and watch them play. He also had a dog named Spot who helped him with the farm work. + +One day, Tom saw a big red truck on the road. He wanted to see what was inside. He told Spot to stay and watch the farm. He got on his bike and followed the truck. He did not see how far he was going. + +The truck stopped at a big store. Tom parked his bike and went inside. He saw many things he had never seen before. He saw toys and books and candy and clothes. He wanted to have them all. He forgot about his farm and his animals and his dog. + +He took a toy car and a book and some candy and a hat. He put them in his pockets and under his shirt. He did not pay for them. He was very happy. He ran out of the store and got on his bike. He wanted to go back to his farm and show his things to Spot. + +But when he got to his farm, he saw something bad. His animals were gone. His cows and pigs and chickens and sheep were not there. He saw a big hole in the fence. He saw some footprints and some tire tracks. He saw a note on his door. It said: + +"Dear Tom, we are sorry to take your animals. We needed them for our circus. We saw that you were not here and you did not have a lock. We hope you enjoy your new things. Goodbye." + +Tom felt very sad and very angry. He dropped his bike and his things. He did not care about them anymore. He wished he had stayed with his farm and his animals and his dog. He wished he had not followed the truck. He wished he had not taken the things. He regretted what he had done. + +He heard a bark. He turned around and saw Spot. Spot had been hiding under the barn. He was scared of the circus people. He ran to Tom and licked his face. He was happy to see him. + +Tom hugged Spot and cried. He said, "I'm sorry, Spot. I'm sorry I left you. I'm sorry I was bad. I love you, Spot. You are my best friend." + +Spot wagged his tail and nuzzled Tom. He said, "I love you too, Tom. You are my best friend. We will be okay. We will find our animals. We will fix our farm. We will be happy again." + +Tom smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes, Spot. We will. We will never leave each other again. We will be good farmers. We will be great." +Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They had a new bag of bread. Mom said they could feed the pigeons. Lily and Sam liked the pigeons. They were gray and white and had red feet. + +They found a bench near a big tree. There were many pigeons on the ground. Lily and Sam broke the bread into small pieces. They threw the pieces to the pigeons. The pigeons came closer and closer. They pecked the bread with their beaks. They made soft noises. + +Lily saw a pigeon with a blue band on its leg. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to feed it by hand. She held a piece of bread in her palm. She reached out to the pigeon. The pigeon looked at her. + +"Come here, pigeon," Lily said. "I have bread for you. Don't be scared." + +The pigeon hopped to Lily's hand. It took the bread gently. Lily smiled. She felt the pigeon's feathers. They were soft and warm. + +"Good pigeon," Lily said. "You are my friend." + +Sam saw Lily and the pigeon. He wanted to do the same. He took a piece of bread and held it in his hand. He looked for a pigeon. He saw a big one with a black spot on its head. He liked it. He called to the pigeon. + +"Hey, pigeon," Sam said. "I have bread for you. Come here." + +The pigeon flew to Sam's hand. It grabbed the bread quickly. It bit Sam's finger. Sam yelped. He dropped the bread and the pigeon. He shook his hand. It hurt. + +"Bad pigeon," Sam said. "You are mean." + +Mom heard Sam and Lily. She came to them. She saw Lily's happy face and Sam's sad face. She saw the bread and the pigeons. + +"What happened?" Mom asked. + +Lily pointed to the blue pigeon. "I fed this pigeon. It was nice. It liked me." + +Sam pointed to the black pigeon. "I fed that pigeon. It was mean. It bit me." + +Mom hugged Sam and Lily. She checked Sam's finger. It was not bleeding. It was just red. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Mom said. "Some pigeons are not friendly. They are hungry and greedy. You have to be careful." + +She gave Sam a band-aid. She kissed his finger. She gave Lily a high-five. She praised her for being gentle. + +"Let's go to the swings," Mom said. "We have enough bread for today." + +Lily and Sam agreed. They left the bench and the pigeons. They ran to the swings. They had fun. They forgot about the pigeons. They were happy. +Anna was a spoiled girl who always wanted new toys. She did not like to share or play with others. She only liked to demand things from her parents and cry when they said no. + +One day, her parents took her to a toy factory. They wanted to show her how toys were made and how hard the workers had to work. They hoped she would learn to be grateful and kind. + +But Anna did not care about the factory or the workers. She only saw the toys and wanted them all. She ran around the factory, grabbing toys from the shelves and the machines. She did not listen to her parents or the workers who told her to stop. + +"Give me this! Give me that!" she demanded. "I want all the toys! They are mine!" + +She was so rude and greedy that she made everyone angry and sad. The workers stopped working and the machines stopped making toys. The factory became quiet and dark. + +Anna did not notice. She kept taking toys and stuffing them in her bag. She did not see the big sign that said "Danger! Do not touch!" + +She reached for a shiny red button that looked like a toy. She pushed it hard. + +Suddenly, a loud alarm went off. Lights flashed and sirens wailed. Smoke and sparks flew from the machines. The button was not a toy. It was a switch that turned on the fire sprinklers. + +Water sprayed everywhere, soaking Anna and her toys. She dropped her bag and screamed. She was wet and cold and scared. + +Her parents ran to her and hugged her. They were worried and angry. They took her out of the factory and apologized to the workers. They said they were sorry for their spoiled girl and her bad behavior. + +Anna learned a hard lesson that day. She realized that toys were not the most important thing in the world. She realized that she had been selfish and mean. She realized that she had to be respectful and thankful. + +She said sorry to her parents and the workers. She gave back the toys she had taken. She promised to be a better girl from then on. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy rockets in the garden. They liked to pretend they were space explorers, flying to different planets and stars. They made zooming and beeping noises as they moved their rockets around. + +"Look, Lily, I found a new planet!" Tom said, holding his red rocket near a big flower. "It has purple spots and green leaves. Maybe there are aliens there!" + +"Wow, Tom, that's cool!" Lily said, bringing her blue rocket closer. "Can we land and say hello?" + +They pretended to land their rockets on the flower and got out. They saw a small, hairy creature hiding under a leaf. It had four legs, two eyes, and a long tail. It looked scared and curious. + +"Hello, little alien," Tom said, trying to be friendly. "We come in peace. What is your name?" + +The creature made a squeaking noise and came out of its hiding place. It sniffed Tom's rocket and then Lily's. It seemed to like them. + +"I think it likes us, Lily," Tom said, smiling. "Maybe we can be friends." + +"Maybe we can," Lily said, nodding. "But what if it gets lonely here? There are no other aliens on this planet." + +Tom thought for a moment. He had an idea. + +"Maybe we can take it with us," he said. "We can show it the universe. There are many other planets and stars to see. And maybe we can find its family." + +Lily liked Tom's idea. She nodded again. + +"OK, let's do that," she said. "But first, we need to repair our rockets. They are a bit broken from the landing." + +They looked at their rockets and saw that they had some scratches and dents. They decided to use some sticks and leaves to fix them. They worked together, with the help of the hairy creature, who brought them more materials. + +Soon, their rockets looked good again. They were ready to fly. + +"Come on, little alien," Tom said, picking up the creature and putting it in his rocket. "We are going to show you the universe. It's big and beautiful and full of wonders." + +Lily got in her rocket too. She waved to the flower and thanked it for letting them visit. + +"Bye, planet," she said. "Maybe we'll come back someday." + +They turned on their rockets and zoomed away. They flew over the garden, over the fence, over the trees. They looked at the sky and saw the sun, the moon, and the stars. They were happy and excited. + +They were space explorers. +Sara and Ben like to sort their toys. They have a big box with many toys. They take out the toys and put them in different piles. They have a pile for cars, a pile for dolls, a pile for blocks and a pile for animals. + +Sara sees a huge pick in the box. It is yellow and shiny. She likes it very much. She wants to put it in her pile of dolls. She thinks it is a doll's hairbrush. + +Ben sees the pick too. He wants it for his pile of cars. He thinks it is a car's tool. He says to Sara, "Give me the pick. It is mine. It is not a doll's hairbrush. It is a car's tool." + +Sara says, "No, it is mine. It is a doll's hairbrush. It is not a car's tool. I saw it first." + +They both pull the pick and start to fight. They are very angry and loud. + +Mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees the pick and the piles of toys. She says, "Stop fighting. The pick is not a toy. It is a tool for the garden. It is for digging and planting. You can both use it outside, but not inside. Now, finish sorting your toys and put them back in the box. Then you can go outside and play with the pick." + +Sara and Ben stop fighting. They say sorry to each other. They finish sorting their toys and put them back in the box. They take the pick and go outside. They have fun digging and planting with the pick. They share it and help each other. They are happy and friendly. +Lily was restless. She wanted to play outside, but it was raining. She looked at the window and saw the big drops falling on the grass and the flowers. She sighed. + +"Mom, can I go outside?" she asked. + +"No, Lily, it's too wet and cold. You might get sick. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" Mom said. + +Lily did not like that answer. She had played with her toys and read her books many times. She wanted to do something new and fun. She looked around the house and saw the ladder in the hall. It was leaning against the wall, near the attic door. She had never been to the attic. She wondered what was inside. + +She walked to the ladder and touched it. It was hard and smooth. She climbed on the first step and looked up. The attic door was high and dark. She felt curious and brave. She climbed on the second step and then the third. + +"Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said. She had heard the noise and came to the hall. She saw Lily on the ladder and gasped. + +"I want to see the attic, Mom. Please, can I?" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, you can't. The attic is not for you. It's dangerous. There are things that can hurt you or make you fall. You have to come down right now. I don't permit you to go to the attic." Mom said. + +She reached for Lily and helped her down. Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the attic. She did not understand why Mom did not let her. She pouted and crossed her arms. + +"Mom, you are not fair. I want to have fun. I don't like the rain. I don't like the house. I don't like anything." Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. She understood how Lily felt. She remembered when she was a little girl and wanted to explore the world. She smiled and said: + +"Lily, I love you. I know you are restless and bored. But the rain will stop soon. And the house is full of surprises. You just have to look for them. Why don't we go to the kitchen and bake some cookies? You can help me with the dough and the shapes. And then we can eat them with milk and watch a movie. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought about it. She liked cookies and milk and movies. She liked helping Mom. She liked being loved. She smiled and said: + +"OK, Mom. That sounds good. But can we go to the attic someday?" + +Mom laughed and said: + +"Maybe someday, Lily. When you are older and wiser. And when I have cleaned it up a bit. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +They held hands and walked to the kitchen. Lily forgot about the ladder and the attic. She was happy to spend time with Mom. She was not restless anymore. She was content. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But then Ben saw a big dog. He was scared of big dogs. He ran away from the dog and left Lily alone. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Ben. She looked for him, but she could not find him. She felt alone and lost. She started to cry. + +A lady saw Lily crying. She came to her and asked, "What is wrong, little girl? Where is your mommy or daddy?" + +Lily said, "I don't know. I was playing with Ben, but he ran away from a big dog. I can't find him or my mommy or daddy." + +The lady said, "Don't worry, I will help you. What is your name?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily." + +The lady said, "My name is Anna. I am an angel. I work in the park and help children who are lost. I have a phone. I can call your mommy or daddy and tell them where you are. Do you know their phone number?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I know. It is 555-1234." + +Anna said, "Good girl. Let me call them and then we can wait for them on the bench. Do you want a hug?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Anna. You are a nice angel." + +Anna hugged Lily and called her parents. They were very happy to hear from Anna and said they would come to the park right away. They were sorry that Lily was lost and scared. + +Soon, Lily saw her mommy and daddy. They ran to her and hugged her. They said, "We are so sorry, Lily. We were looking for you and Ben. We are so glad you are safe. Thank you, Anna, for helping our Lily. You are a real angel." + +Lily said, "You are welcome. Anna is a nice angel. She called you and gave me a hug. I love you, mommy and daddy." + +Ben also came back. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was scared of the dog. I did not mean to leave you. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily said, "Yes, Ben. We can still be friends. But next time, don't run away from me. Stay with me and we can be brave together." + +Ben said, "OK, Lily. I will stay with you. You are a good friend." + +Lily, Ben, Anna, and Lily's parents smiled and hugged. They were happy and safe. They thanked the angel again and went home. +Lily liked to soar in the sky with her kite. She had a big kite with many colors and a long tail. She ran and ran in the park and let the kite fly high. She felt happy and free. + +One day, she saw a big bird in the sky. It was a hawk. It had brown feathers and sharp claws. It looked at Lily's kite and wanted to catch it. It flew fast and tried to grab the kite with its claws. + +"Hey, that's my kite!" Lily shouted. "Go away, hawk! Leave my kite alone!" + +But the hawk did not listen. It pulled the kite with its claws and made a hole in it. The kite started to fall. Lily was sad and angry. She ran to get her kite before it landed on the ground. + +She reached the kite and held it in her arms. She saw the hole and the torn tail. She felt like crying. She looked at the hawk, who was flying away. She wished she could soar like the hawk and see the city from above. She wondered what the city looked like. She had never been to the city. She only saw it from far away. She imagined it had many buildings and cars and people. + +She touched the kite and felt its smooth fabric. She thought maybe she could fix the hole and the tail. She loved her kite and wanted to soar with it again. She smiled and decided to go home and ask her mom for help. She hoped her mom would have some glue and some thread and some fabric. She hoped she could make her kite as good as new. She hoped she could soar in the sky again. +Lily was a cheerful girl who liked to learn new things. She was good at reading, writing, and counting. She had an exam at school today. She wanted to do well and make her teacher and parents proud. + +She woke up early and ate her breakfast. She packed her bag with her books, pencils, and snacks. She kissed her mom and dad goodbye and got on the bus with her friends. They sang songs and played games on the way to school. + +When they arrived, Lily went to her classroom and sat at her desk. She looked at the exam paper and smiled. She knew the answers to most of the questions. She wrote them down neatly and checked them twice. She finished before the bell rang and handed in her paper. + +"Good job, Lily!" her teacher said. "You worked hard and did your best. I'm sure you will get a good grade." + +"Thank you, teacher!" Lily said. "I like your class. You teach us fun and interesting things." + +Lily felt happy and proud. She joined her friends for recess and lunch. They shared their snacks and stories. They played tag and hopscotch. They laughed and had fun. + +After school, Lily got on the bus again and went home. She told her mom and dad about her exam and how well she did. They hugged her and praised her. They gave her a glass of milk and a cookie. + +"You deserve a treat, Lily," her mom said. "You are a smart and cheerful girl. We love you very much." + +"I love you too, mom and dad," Lily said. "Can I rest now? I'm a little tired." + +"Of course, sweetie," her dad said. "You can rest in your room. We'll call you when it's time for dinner." + +Lily went to her room and lay down on her bed. She closed her eyes and felt cozy and warm. She thought about her exam, her teacher, her friends, and her family. She felt happy and grateful. She fell asleep with a smile on her face. +Tim and Liz were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they felt very tired and their eyes were heavy. + +"Let's nap, Tim," Liz said. "Nap is good for us. We can dream of more toys and animals." + +"OK, Liz," Tim said. "But where can we nap? The couch is too small and the floor is too hard." + +They looked around and saw a big, soft bed in the corner. It was the bed of the lady who lived in the house. She was not there. She was at work. She was a tough lady who did many things. + +"Let's nap on the bed," Liz said. "The lady won't mind. She is nice to us. She gives us cookies and milk sometimes." + +"OK, Liz," Tim said. "But we have to be quiet and careful. We don't want to mess up the bed or the pillows." + +They tiptoed to the bed and climbed on it. They snuggled under the blanket and hugged their toys. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. + +They had a nice nap and dreamed of more toys and animals. They did not hear the lady come home. She saw them on the bed and smiled. She was not mad. She was happy to see them. She was a tough lady, but she also had a big heart. She kissed them on their heads and let them nap a little longer. +Lila was a polite girl who liked to twist her hair when she was nervous. She was going to a new school today and she did not know anyone there. She twisted her hair as she walked with her mom to the big building. + +"Hello, you must be Lila," a nice lady said at the door. "I'm Miss Rose, your teacher. Welcome to our class." + +Lila smiled and said hello, but she twisted her hair harder. She saw many kids in the room, playing with toys and books. She felt shy and scared. + +Miss Rose took her hand and led her to a table where a boy and a girl were sitting. "This is Ben and this is Amy," she said. "They are your new friends. Why don't you join them?" + +Ben and Amy looked at Lila and smiled. "Hi, Lila," they said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +Lila nodded and let go of her hair. She sat down and picked up a crayon. She saw that Ben and Amy had drawn pictures of their families. She decided to draw hers too. + +"Who is that?" Amy asked, pointing at Lila's picture. + +"That's my mom and my dad and my baby brother," Lila said. + +"That's nice," Amy said. "I have a mom and a dad and a big sister." + +"I have a mom and a dad and a dog," Ben said. + +They all laughed and showed each other their pictures. Lila felt happy and relaxed. She did not twist her hair anymore. She had made new friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. Sara wanted to climb the tree, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Sara said. "Look, I can fit on this branch. It is not too high." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Sara, it is too high. You can fall and hurt yourself. I like to stay on the ground." + +Sara laughed. "You are silly, Ben. I will not fall. I am careful. And I have a little friend here. See, a bird!" + +Sara pointed to a small bird that was sitting on the branch next to her. The bird was brown and had a yellow beak. It chirped and looked at Sara. + +"Hello, bird," Sara said. "Do you like this branch? It is nice and cozy, right?" + +The bird nodded and chirped again. It seemed to like Sara. + +"Wow, Sara, you can talk to the bird!" Ben said. He was amazed. He forgot his fear and climbed the tree too. He found another branch that he could fit on. He was close to Sara and the bird. + +"Hello, Ben," Sara said. "Now we are all on the tree. We are happy, right?" + +Ben smiled and nodded. He was happy. He liked the tree, the branch, and the bird. He liked Sara too. They were friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They smell the herbs. The herbs are green and good. + +One day, Anna falls down. She hurts her knee. She cries. Ben runs to her. He says, "Don't cry, Anna. I am here. I will support you." He helps her stand up. He gives her a hug. + +Anna stops crying. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You make me calm." She smiles. She sees a herb. She picks it. She says, "This is mint. It smells nice. Do you want some?" + +Ben nods. He takes the mint. He smells it. He says, "It does smell nice. It makes me calm too." He smiles. He says, "Let's go to the house. We can show the mint to mom. Maybe she can make us tea." + +Anna and Ben hold hands. They walk to the house. They are happy. They are friends. They support each other. +Ben and Mia liked to play by the river. They had a raft that they made from wood and rope. They put their toys on the raft and pushed it in the water. They watched the raft float away and come back. + +One day, they saw something shiny on the raft. It was a ball that glowed in the sun. It was red and yellow and green. Ben and Mia wanted to play with the ball. They ran to the raft and grabbed the ball. + +"Wow, look at the ball!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and bright!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia said. "Can I hold it?" + +They took turns holding the ball and making it glow. They laughed and smiled. They forgot about their toys on the raft. + +The wind blew harder and the raft moved faster. It went far away from the shore. Ben and Mia did not notice. They were busy with the ball. + +Soon, the raft was gone. It was too late to get it back. Ben and Mia looked at the river. It was empty. They could not see their raft or their toys. + +They felt sad and scared. They hugged the ball and each other. + +"Where is our raft?" Ben asked. "Where are our toys?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe they will come back." + +They hoped the raft would come back. They waited by the river. They still had the ball that glowed. But they missed their raft and their toys. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small bike. They take turns with the ball and the bike. + +One day, they see a hidden slide behind some trees. They run to the slide. They both want to go first. They quarrel. + +"I saw it first!" Anna says. + +"No, I did!" Ben says. + +They push and pull. The ball and the bike fall on the ground. + +A big dog comes. He sees the ball and the bike. He runs to them. He bites the ball. He chews the bike. + +Anna and Ben stop quarreling. They see the dog. They are scared. They run away from the slide. They forget the ball and the bike. + +They go to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms hug them. They say they are sorry. They say they should not quarrel. They say they should share. + +Anna and Ben nod. They say they are sorry too. They say they will share. They hug each other. They are friends again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck that made loud noises and had flashing lights. Lily had a soft doll that she could hug and dress up. Ben liked his truck, but he also wanted to play with Lily's doll. He thought it looked fun and pretty. + +"Can I play with your doll?" he asked Lily. + +"No, this is my doll. You can play with your truck," Lily said. + +"But I want to play with your doll. Please, Lily, can we switch?" Ben begged. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to switch. She liked her doll too much. She was jealous of Ben's truck, but she did not say so. She thought Ben would laugh at her if she did. + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not like Lily's answer. He wanted to make her switch. He had an idea. He grabbed his truck and ran to the kitchen. He saw Mom making cookies. He smiled. + +"Mom, can I have a cookie?" he asked. + +"Not now, Ben. They are still hot. You have to wait," Mom said. + +"But I'm hungry, Mom. And I have something to recommend. Can I trade my truck for a cookie?" Ben said. + +Mom looked at Ben's truck. She saw the loud noises and the flashing lights. She knew Ben loved his truck. She was surprised. + +"Are you sure, Ben? You really want to trade your truck for a cookie?" she asked. + +"Yes, Mom. I really want a cookie. And I don't want my truck anymore. I want to play with Lily's doll," Ben said. + +Mom thought for a moment. She did not think it was a good idea. She knew Lily would not like it. She knew Ben would regret it. She tried to explain. + +"Ben, I don't think that's a good idea. You love your truck. You play with it every day. You will miss it if you trade it. And Lily loves her doll. She will not want to switch with you. She will be upset if you take her doll. You will make her sad. And you will not have fun with her doll. You will get bored of it soon. Why don't you keep your truck and play nicely with Lily? Maybe you can share your toys sometimes. That's what good friends do," Mom said. + +Ben listened to Mom. He thought about what she said. He realized she was right. He did love his truck. He did not want to trade it. He did not want to make Lily sad. He did not want to be bored with her doll. He wanted to be a good friend. He felt sorry for what he did. + +"OK, Mom. You're right. I don't want to trade my truck. I want to keep it. And I want to play nicely with Lily. Can I say sorry to her and ask her to share?" Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Ben. She hugged him and gave him a kiss. + +"Of course, Ben. That's very nice of you. I'm sure Lily will forgive you and share with you. And you know what? You can have a cookie later, after they cool down. How does that sound?" Mom said. + +Ben smiled. He was happy. He thanked Mom and ran back to the living room. He saw Lily playing with her doll. He went to her and said sorry. He asked her to share. Lily looked at him and smiled. She forgave him and agreed to share. They played together with their toys. They had fun. They were good friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to explore the swamp near their house. They put on their boots and hats and took a big bag with them. + +"Let's gather some things from the swamp," Lily said. "Maybe we can find some frogs or snails or plants." + +"OK, but be careful," Tom said. "The swamp is old and muddy and sometimes there are scary noises." + +They walked along the swamp, looking for interesting things. They saw some birds and bugs and fish. They picked some flowers and leaves and put them in their bag. They also found some stones and shells and sticks. + +"Look, Lily, I found a frog!" Tom said, holding a green and brown frog in his hand. "It's so slimy and jumpy. Do you want to hold it?" + +"Wow, Tom, that's a nice frog," Lily said. "But I don't want to hold it. I'm afraid it might bite me or pee on me." + +Tom laughed and put the frog back in the swamp. "Don't worry, Lily, frogs are harmless. They just like to hop and croak. Come on, let's see what else we can find." + +They continued to gather things from the swamp, having fun and learning new things. They filled their bag with swamp treasures and went back to their house. They showed their parents what they had found and told them about their adventure. Their parents were proud and happy and let them keep some of their things in a special box. Lily and Tom smiled and hugged each other. They had a great day at the swamp. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, jump, and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw many birds, bugs, and flowers. They were having fun. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a scream. They looked around and saw a big, yellow and black animal. It was a leopard. It had escaped from the zoo. It was hungry and angry. It saw Lily and Ben and ran towards them. + +"Mom, help!" Lily and Ben shouted. They were scared. They ran to their mom and hugged her. Their mom was brave. She picked up a stick and waved it at the leopard. She yelled at it to go away. + +The leopard stopped. It did not like the stick or the yell. It saw another animal. It was a goat. It was tasty.

Lily wanted a pink balloon that looked like a cat. Sam wanted a blue balloon that looked like a car. + +"Mom, can we have a balloon, please?" they asked. + +Mom looked at the balloon man. He had a sign that said "One balloon for five coins". Mom shook her head. + +"Sorry, kids, that is too much money. We only have four coins. The balloon man is asking a high price." + +Lily and Sam were sad. They started to complain. + +"But Mom, we really want a balloon! It is not fair! The balloon man is mean!" + +Mom tried to calm them down. + +"Kids, stop complaining. It is not nice. The balloon man can ask any price he wants. It is his job. Maybe we can find something else to do in the park. Look, there is a pond with ducks. Do you want to feed them some bread?" + +Lily and Sam looked at the pond. They saw many ducks swimming and quacking. Some of them were graceful and smooth. Some of them were funny and noisy. They forgot about the balloons. + +"OK, Mom, let's feed the ducks. That sounds fun!" they said. + +Mom smiled and gave them some bread. They walked to the pond and threw the bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread.

They want to share their cake with him. + +"Can we feed Milo some cake, Mom and Dad?" they ask. + +Mom and Dad shake their heads. They say, "No, no, no. Cake is not good for cats. Milo needs cat food and water. Cake can make him sick." + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They do not want Milo to be sick. They put their cake on the table and go to the kitchen. They find some cat food and water and put them in a bowl. They bring the bowl to Milo and say, "Here, Milo. This is for you. We love you." + +Milo purrs and rubs his head against them.

They thank Mom and Dad for the cake and the party. They say, "This is a fair and fun day. We are lucky to have each other." +Tom and Mia like to play in the garden.

It is the biggest worm they have ever seen. They want to show it to Mom and Dad, but they are busy in the house. Tom and Mia decide to delay going inside and keep playing with the worm. + +They make a house for the worm with sticks and stones. They give it some grass and water.

They are very happy. + +But then, they hear Mom calling them. It is time for lunch. They have to go inside and wash their hands. + +"Bye, worm. We will come back later. Stay in your house and be good," Tom says. + +"Thank you for playing with me. You are my friends. Have a good lunch," Mia says in the same funny voice. + +They leave the worm in the garden and run to the house. They hope the worm will wait for them. They want to play with it again.

She takes the pot away. She puts it in the sink. She turns on the faucet. She drains the water. She says, "This is not soup. This is pasta. It is very hot. It can burn you. You have to be careful in the kitchen. You have to ask me before you touch anything." + +Tom and Sue are sorry. They did not know. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to help you. We wanted to taste the soup." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I know, my loves. But this is not soup. This is pasta. We will eat it with sauce and cheese. It will be yummy. But you have to wait until it is cool. And you have to use a fork, not a spoon. A spoon is too weak. It can break. A fork is strong. It can hold the pasta." + +Tom and Sue nod. They understand. They say, "OK, mom. We will wait. We will use a fork. We will not touch anything. We love you, mom." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, my loves. You are very good. You are very smart. You are my helpers. Now, let's set the table. Dad will be home soon. He will be happy to see us. He will be happy to eat our dinner." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up.

They laugh and play. They have fun with their new masks. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Lily wants to swing on it. She asks Ben to help her. + +"Ben, can you push me on the swing?" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. I will push you on the swing. But first, you have to tie your hair. Your hair is very long and pink. It can get in your eyes or in the swing," Ben says. + +Lily nods. She takes a pink tie from her pocket. She ties her hair in a ponytail. She smiles at Ben. She climbs on the swing. She holds the ropes tight. + +"Ready, Ben?" Lily says. + +"Ready, Lily!" Ben says. + +He pushes her on the swing. Lily feels the wind in her face. She laughs. She likes to swing.

She knows Sara likes to spin. + +"I know, Sara," Mommy says. "But you have to be careful. The bookcase is not for spinning. It is for holding books and pictures and things. You can spin in other places, but not here. OK?" + +Sara nods. She understands. She helps Mommy pick up the books and pictures and things.

They sit on the couch and read the book. Lily is very happy. She loves her mom, her book and her cups. +Sara was a little girl who liked to explore. She wanted to see what was inside the big cupboard in the kitchen. She had to climb on a chair to reach the handle. She opened the door and saw many things.

She started to cry. + +Mama sighed. She was not happy, but she loved Sara. She knew Sara was curious and did not know better. She picked up Sara and hugged her. "It's okay, Sara.

Do you understand?" she said. + +Sara nodded again. She stopped crying. She hugged Mama back. She said, "Sorry, Mama. I love you." + +Mama smiled. She said, "I love you too, Sara.

They liked to go on the swings, the seesaw and the slide. The slide was very big and shiny. Tom went first. He climbed up the steps and sat on the slide. He smiled and said, "Whee!" as he slid down. He landed on the soft grass and laughed. + +Mia wanted to try the slide too. But she was a little scared. The slide looked very high and fast. She climbed up the steps slowly and looked down.

She felt frightened. "What if there are scary things in the cave?" she asked. "What if it is dark and cold?" + +Tom said, "Don't be scared, Mia. I have a flashlight. We can see everything. Maybe we will find treasure or animals or something fun. Come on, it will be an adventure." + +Mia wanted to be brave like Tom. She followed him to the cave. They went inside. It was dark and cold. Tom turned on his flashlight. They saw rocks and dirt and roots. They walked deeper into the cave. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster.

They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They hugged them and told them what they saw. Mom and dad said, "You were very brave to go into the cave, but you should not go there again.

We did not know there was a bear in the cave. We will not go there again. We are glad we are safe with you." + +Mom and dad said, "We are glad too. Now let's go home and have some cookies and milk.

Do you want to go to the museum and see more dinosaurs?" + +Lily looked at the man and the newspaper. She was not sure. She liked animals, but she did not like scary ones. She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, can we go to the museum?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. Maybe we can meet the man there. He seems nice. He was just reading the newspaper. He was not trying to scare you. Maybe he can tell you more about dinosaurs." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Maybe he can. But I still think dinosaurs are scary." + +The end. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toy soldiers. They make them fight and run and hide behind the sofa. Sara has more soldiers than Ben, so she thinks she will win. + +"Give up, Ben! You have no more soldiers left!" Sara says. "Surrender or I will take all your toys!" + +Ben does not want to surrender.

She never forgot how the cat had taken care of her that day. +Once upon a time, there was a mum, a dad, and their new baby. They all lived on a farm near a big swamp. One day they decided to go on an adventure in the swamp. +The sun was shining as they walked, and they came to a beautiful river.

She always sang her favourite song as she played. + +One day she skipped into a meadow and found a group of animals gathered around. Maisy wanted to join in and be part of the group. She began to sing her song. + +The animals stopped playing and stared at her. No one said anything, so Maisy stopped singing and ran away, feeling embarrassed. + +The next day, Maisy noticed the same animals playing in the meadow. She decided to try again and bravely sang her song. This time the animals smiled and joined in - singing with her. + +Maisy had learned an important lesson - that it is okay to be yourself, even if you feel different from the others. Being playful and singing was more important than trying to be like everyone else! +Tommy knew he was in for a surprise. In his Mom's hand was a modest envelope. He was so curious to know what was inside! + +The family left the house and Tommy saw his Grandma. Grandma had a big smile and a present in her hand. Tommy knew it was for him!

She found an old box and ducked inside, but she was too big - her tail was sticking out and she couldn't hide! + +Coco's owner laughed and said, "you've lost the game, Coco!" But Coco didn't really mind. She was still playful and she was having a lot of fun hiding and looking for her lost thing. She didn't need to win the game to be happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to ride her bike.

Her mom was always there to pick her up and encourage her. + +One day, the little girl was trying to ride her bike in the park. She was trying very hard to stay balanced, but it was so tricky. Suddenly, she found some honey on the ground. She stopped and reached down to pick it up. + +As she leaned over, her bike got wobbly and started to slip away from her. The little girl was so embarrassed, but her mom was happy to help her up and hissed her bike again. + +Her mom told her, "Honey, if you focus on the goal, you can reach it. But if you get sidetracked and forget about your goal, then you can easily lose your balance." + +The little girl thought deeply about what her mom told her. From then on, she focused on the goal and practiced her bike riding every day. Soon enough, she was a confident bike rider. + +The moral of the story is to never forget your goal and stay focused.

It was so fun and it felt like she was flying! Each time the swing moved, Mia felt a sense of freedom. + +Just as the sun was preparing to go to sleep in the sky, Mia released the swing and took one final look around. Everything looked so peaceful at sunset. Then she skipped into the house and fell asleep with a smile on her face. +The young girl was searching around the house.

It was the perfect way to end the day. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Claire. She had long, wavy hair and was always full of energy and excitement.

I'll get you all to the cave near the river. Follow me!" + +The mouse squeaked with excitement and the farmer started walking towards the river. The animals followed, feeling a little less nervous. + +When they reached the cave, the farmer said with a smile, "you're all safe now!" + +The animals cheered and cheered as the storm passed by. The farmer was relieved that he had saved the animals in time. He was so happy! +Once upon a time, there was a beetle named Bob. Bob was a very rude beetle. He would always bark orders to the other bugs in the garden. One day, Bob was walking around the garden when he saw a tiny caterpillar named Sarah. + +Sarah was very quiet and polite, so Bob decided to give her an order. He said loudly, "Sarah, go and get me a flower for my breakfast!" + +Sarah was so mad that Bob was being so rude! She said, "No, I won't do it! You should be nice to me!" + +The other bugs had been watching the whole time and they all started laughing! Bob was so embarrassed that he quickly ran away. The other bugs learned their lesson: it's never nice to be rude! +The sun was shining in the sky and the birds were singing. There were two colourful bears in the woods, Ben and Lucy. +"Look! A skull!" shouted Lucy. +"That's so interesting!" said Ben. +Suddenly a loud roar filled the air.

All the other reindeers who were playing there seemed to have the same fun and excitement that Tiny felt. + +Unfortunately, Tiny noticed that when the other reindeers weren't playing together, they weren't having as much fun. He soon realised that to have the most fun, it was better to play together and help each other out. + +He shared this message with all the reindeers and soon the playground was filled with a lot more laughter and enjoyment. It was then that Tiny realised that when you work together, it is much more fun and the days are much happier. + +Moral of the Story: +Working together is better than going alone. +Once upon a time there was a modest hedge in a field. Every day, something special used to come and visit it. One morning a little boy called Tommy came to visit the hedge too. + +He was excited to see what it was like up close.

She was delighting in the fun of it! + +The little girl continued to twist, giggling with pleasure. She was getting more daring with every spin, going faster and faster.

It was not very shiny anymore. + +"Anna, that rock is not worth your life," Mom said. She took the rock and threw it away. "You have to listen to me and be careful.

But they do not stick. She feels sad and angry. She throws the pieces in the air. They land on the mirror, the towel, and the toilet. They make a big mess. + +"Lily, what are you doing?" Lily's mom asks. She comes into the bathroom and sees the soap everywhere. She is not happy. She says, "Lily, that is not your ball. That is soap. You need to use soap to wash, not to play. Look, you made a big mess. You need to help me clean it up." + +Lily looks at her mom. She sees that her mom is not smiling. She feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I thought it was my ball.

Lily and Tom wanted to taste it, but mom said, "No, this pie is for grandma. We have to pack it carefully and take it with us.

The cars were not moving at all. Lily and Tom looked out the window and saw many red lights and honking horns. They felt bored and impatient. + +"Mom, when are we going to get to the zoo?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. There must be an accident or something. We have to wait until the road is clear," mom said. + +"But we want to see the animals now!" Tom said. + +"I know, honey. But we can't do anything about it. Why don't we play a game to pass the time?" mom suggested. + +"Okay, what game?" Lily asked. + +"How about I spy? I'll start. I spy with my little eye something that is green," mom said. + +Lily and Tom looked around and tried to guess what mom saw. They saw some trees, some grass, some signs, and some cars. + +"Is it a tree?" Lily guessed. + +"No, it's not a tree," mom said. + +"Is it a sign?" Tom guessed. + +"No, it's not a sign," mom said. + +"Is it a car?" Lily guessed. + +"No, it's not a car," mom said. + +"Then what is it?" Tom asked. + +Mom smiled and pointed to a big truck in front of them. The truck had a picture of a crocodile on its side. It was a truck that carried animals to the zoo. + +"It's a crocodile!" mom said. + +Lily and Tom gasped and laughed. They had not noticed the truck before. They saw some other animals on the truck, like a giraffe, a zebra, and a tiger. They were amazed and curious. + +"Wow, mom, look at all the animals!" Lily said. + +"Maybe they are going to the same zoo as us!" Tom said. + +"Maybe they are, or maybe they are going to another zoo. Either way, they are very lucky to travel with such beautiful creatures," mom said. + +Lily and Tom agreed. They felt less bored and impatient.

They think it is a new palace. + +"Let's go inside the palace," Anna says. "Maybe we can find a king and a queen." + +Ben is scared. He does not want to go inside the box. He thinks there might be a monster or a spider. + +"I don't want to go," Ben says. "It is dark and dirty." + +Anna encourages Ben. She holds his hand and smiles. + +"Don't be scared," Anna says. "It is just a box. We can pretend it is a palace. We can be the king and the queen. It will be fun." + +Ben feels better. He trusts Anna. He follows her inside the box.

She thinks it is too small and boring. She says, "No, thank you, Ben. I do not want to play with your car. I like my car better. It is red and shiny, and it has a big engine on the back. It is very fast and loud." + +Anna and Ben do not want to play with each other's cars. They turn away from each other and play with their own cars. They do not talk to each other. They are not happy. + +Mom sees Anna and Ben and knows they are not having fun. She comes to them and says, "Anna, Ben, why are you frowning? Why are you not playing together? You both have nice cars. Why don't you share them and try something new?" + +Anna and Ben look at Mom and then at each other. They think for a moment. They realize that Mom is right. They both have nice cars, but they can also have more fun if they share them and try something new. They say, "Okay, Mom, we will share our cars and try something new. Thank you, Mom." + +Anna and Ben smile and hug Mom. Then they swap their cars and play with them. They make noises like vroom and beep, but also like whoosh and honk.

Someone was mean to us. They tricked us." + +Lily sniffed. She said, "It's okay, Ben. You are nice to me. You are my friend." + +They left the box and went to find their mom. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said, "What happened, my loves?" + +They told her about the box and the noise and the hurt. She said, "That was not a nice thing to do. Someone was very naughty. But you are brave and kind. I have a good surprise for you. How about some ice cream?" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, please! We love ice cream!" + +They went to the ice cream truck. They chose their favorite flavors. They licked their cones. They felt better. They said, "This is a good surprise. Thank you, mom!" + +The end. +Sara was a good girl who liked to learn new things.

She looked at Sara with a sad and angry face. + +"Sara, why did you tear your test? That was a bad thing to do. You wasted your book and your work. You made a big mess.

We want to help you. Let me take the thorn out of your paw." + +The wolf was surprised. It did not trust the dad. But it was in pain. It let the dad come closer. The dad was gentle. He took the thorn out of the wolf's paw. The wolf felt better. It stopped growling. It licked the dad's hand. + +Lila saw that the wolf was not mean. It was just hurt.

He shows Lily a black box with wires. "This is his brain. It is black and shiny. It tells him what to do." + +Lily is amazed. She touches the black box gently. She says, "Wow, his brain is very different from mine. My brain is pink and soft. It is inside my head. I can't see it, but I can feel it." + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, your brain is different from his. Your brain is alive and his brain is not. Your brain helps you think and feel and learn. His brain only does what I tell him to do." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They learn something new about brains. They continue to play with their toys and share their ideas. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But they also liked to get new things. They knew that soon it would be their birthday.

But not on the bench. It is too high and too hard." + +Lily agrees and says, "Yes, Tom. Let's play on the slide. It is low and smooth." + +They hold hands and run to the slide.

He pushes a button and the tank zooms across the floor. + +"Wow, Tom, that is fun!" Mia says. She claps her hands and laughs. + +Tom stops the tank near a table. He sees a plate of cookies on the table. The cookies look tasty. Tom wants a cookie. + +"Can we have a cookie, Mia?" Tom asks. He tries to reach the plate, but it is too high. + +"I don't know, Tom. Mom said we have to wait for lunch," Mia says. She looks at the cookies, too. They smell good. + +"Please, Mia, just one cookie. We can share it," Tom says.

They pretended they were pilots going on adventures. + +"Look, Sara, I can make my jet go faster than yours!" Tom said, as he threw his jet hard. + +"Be careful, Tom, you might break it!" Sara said, as she watched his jet land on the grass. + +Tom ran to get his jet, but he saw that it had a crack on the wing. He felt sad and angry. + +"It's not fair! My jet is broken and yours is not!" he said, and he grabbed Sara's jet from her hand. + +"Hey, give it back, Tom, that's mine!" Sara said, and she tried to pull her jet away from him. + +They started to fight over the jet, and they did not see their mom coming. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" their mom said, as she took the jet from them. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +"Tom broke his jet and he took mine!" Sara said. + +"Sara has a better jet and she won't share!" Tom said. + +Their mom shook her head and said, "You are both wrong. You should not be selfish or jealous of each other. You should be kind and share your toys. And you should be careful with your things, so they don't get damaged. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Tom nodded and said, "We're sorry, mom." + +Their mom smiled and said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But you have to learn from your mistake. Now, let's go inside and see if we can fix Tom's jet. Maybe we can stir some glue and put it on the wing." + +Sara and Tom followed their mom inside, holding their jets.

He sees Tim and Sam and their chalk. He wants to join them. But he does not ask nicely. He says, "Give me your chalk or I will hit you!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They do not want to give their chalk. They do not want to be hit. They say, "No, you cannot join us. You are not nice. Go away!" + +The big boy gets angry. He tries to grab their chalk. He pushes Tim and Sam. They fall down and cry. They are hurt. + +Then, a lady comes out of her house. She sees what is happening. She is Tim and Sam's neighbor. She is kind and brave. She says, "Stop that, you big bully! Leave these boys alone! They are just playing. You have no right to take their chalk or hurt them!" + +The big boy is surprised. He sees the lady. He is afraid. He drops the chalk and runs away. He does not come back. + +The lady helps Tim and Sam get up. She gives them a hug and a band-aid. She says, "Are you okay, boys? I am sorry that happened. You can play with your chalk as much as you want. Do you want me to join you?" + +Tim and Sam smile. They say, "Yes, please. You are nice. You can join us. Thank you for saving us!" + +They give the lady some chalk. They draw together on the sidewalk. They make more shapes and colors. They have fun. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the farm. One day, they saw a mule in the barn. The mule was unusual. It had a big horn on its head and a long tail with a star. + +"Wow, look at the mule!" Sara said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we pet it?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Sara said. "Maybe it is not nice." + +They went closer to the mule. The mule looked at them and made a loud noise. + +"Hello, mule," Sara said. "We want to be your friends. Can we touch your horn?" + +The mule nodded and smiled. Sara and Tom were happy. They reached out their hands to the horn. + +"Wait," the mule said. "You have to promise me something first." + +"What is it?" Sara and Tom asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will never tell anyone about me," the mule said. "I am a secret mule. If you tell, I will be in trouble." + +"OK, we promise," Sara and Tom said. They crossed their fingers behind their backs. They did not mean it. They wanted to tell everyone about the unusual mule. + +They touched the horn. It was soft and warm. They felt a strange tingling in their fingers. + +"Thank you for your promise," the mule said. "Now, I have a gift for you." + +The mule opened its mouth and spat out a purple liquid. The liquid hit Sara and Tom in the face. They screamed and rubbed their eyes. + +"What did you do?" Sara cried. + +"I gave you a gift," the mule said. "Now, you are like me. You have horns and tails and stars. And you can never change back." + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They were horrified. They had horns and tails and stars. They were unusual mules. + +They ran out of the barn. They hoped to find help. But no one could help them. Everyone was scared of them. They chased them away with sticks and stones. + +Sara and Tom were alone and sad. They wished they had not broken their promise. They wished they had never met the unusual mule. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a tag that said "To Lily and Ben, from Grandpa". + +"What do you think is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a navy," Ben said. "Grandpa was in the navy. He told us stories about the big boats and the water." + +"Or maybe it is a puzzle," Lily said. "Grandpa is gifted. He can solve any puzzle. He taught us how to do puzzles too." + +They decided to open the box and see what was inside. They lifted the lid and saw a lot of pieces of wood and metal. There was also a book with pictures and words. + +"It is a navy and a puzzle!" Ben exclaimed. "We can build our own boat with these pieces. And the book tells us how to do it." + +"That is so cool!" Lily agreed. "Grandpa is the best. He gave us a fun and smart gift. Let's discuss how to start." + +They looked at the book and the pieces. They talked about what they needed and what they liked. They worked together and had fun. They were happy and proud of their navy. They could not wait to show Grandpa what they made. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box in the closet. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. She picks up a silver necklace with a heart. "This is so pretty. I want to wear it." + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He grabs the necklace from Anna. "It's a silver chain. It's for boys, not girls." + +Anna gets angry. She pulls the necklace back. "No, it's not! It's a silver heart. It's for girls, not boys." + +They start to fight over the necklace. They tug and pull and shout. The necklace breaks and the heart falls on the floor. + +"Uh-oh," Ben says. He looks at the broken necklace. "We are in trouble." + +They hear their mom coming upstairs. She opens the door and sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why did you break this necklace? This is very old. It was my grandma's. It is very special to me." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They look at their mom with sad eyes. + +"We are sorry, mom," they say. "We didn't know. We just wanted to play with it." + +Mom sighs. She picks up the necklace and the heart. She hugs Anna and Ben. + +"It's okay," she says. "I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be careful with old things. They are not toys. They are memories. Maybe one day, I will tell you the story of this necklace and how my grandma gave it to me." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say sorry again. They help mom clean up the box. They promise to be more gentle with old things. They hug mom and say they love her. Mom smiles and says she loves them too. +Tim and Sue are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big hedge that goes all around the garden. They can hide behind the hedge and play games. + +One day, they are playing hide and seek. Tim is the seeker. He counts to ten and then looks for Sue. He sees a dull brown hat behind the hedge. He thinks it is Sue. He runs to the hedge and points at the hat. + +"Found you, Sue!" he shouts. + +But it is not Sue. It is a scarecrow. The scarecrow has a dull brown hat, a dull blue shirt and a dull red scarf. It has a stick for a nose and buttons for eyes. It does not move or talk. + +Tim is surprised. He feels silly. He laughs. + +"Who are you?" he asks the scarecrow. + +Sue hears Tim laugh. She comes out from her hiding place. She sees Tim and the scarecrow. She laughs too. + +"That is not me, Tim. That is a scarecrow. It scares the birds away from the plants. It is not a real person." + +Tim and Sue look at the scarecrow. They think it is funny. They decide to play with it. They give it a name. They call it Bob. They make up stories about Bob. They have fun. + +The end. +Lily loved her pet cat, Mimi. She liked to sit with Mimi on the sofa and stroke her soft fur. Mimi liked to purr and cuddle with Lily. They were very happy together. + +One day, Lily's mom brought home a new pet. It was a dog, and his name was Spot. Spot was big and loud and bouncy. He ran around the house and knocked over things. He chased Mimi and barked at her. Mimi was scared and angry. She hissed and scratched at Spot. Lily's mom said, "Don't worry, Mimi. Spot just wants to play. He will be your friend soon." + +Lily tried to play with Spot, but he was too rough. He pulled her hair and bit her toys. He jumped on the sofa and pushed Lily and Mimi off. Lily was sad and mad. She said, "Spot, stop it! You are a bad dog. You are not my friend. Go away!" + +Spot did not listen. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. He thought Lily was playing with him. He did not understand why Lily and Mimi did not like him. He just wanted to have fun. + +One day, Lily and Mimi were sitting on the sofa, watching TV. Spot came and tried to join them. He jumped on the sofa and squeezed between Lily and Mimi. Mimi was furious. She spat and scratched at Spot. Spot yelped and ran away. Lily said, "Good, Mimi. You showed him. He is a mean dog. He can't sit with us." + +But then, Lily saw something on the TV. It was a show about dogs and cats. The dogs and cats were playing together and having fun. They were sharing toys and treats. They were cuddling and napping. They were friends. Lily saw how happy they were. She felt something in her heart. She felt sorry for Spot. She realized that he was lonely and bored. He did not have any friends. He did not know how to be nice. He needed someone to teach him. He needed someone to love him. Lily felt envious of the dogs and cats on the TV. She wished she could have a friend like that. + +She looked at Mimi and said, "Mimi, do you think we can be friends with Spot? Do you think we can teach him how to play nicely? Do you think we can share our sofa with him?" + +Mimi looked at Lily and said, "Meow." She did not sound very happy. But she did not sound very angry either. She sounded like she was thinking. She looked at Spot, who was sitting in a corner, looking sad. She felt something in her heart too. She felt curious and brave. She decided to give Spot a chance. She got off the sofa and walked towards Spot. She said, "Meow." + +Spot looked up and saw Mimi. He was surprised and scared. He thought Mimi was going to attack him. He cowered and whimpered. He said, "Woof." + +But Mimi did not attack him. She stopped in front of him and sniffed him. She rubbed her head against his nose. She said, "Meow." + +Spot felt something in his nose. He felt something in his heart. He felt warm and fuzzy. He felt happy and grateful. He licked Mimi's ear. He said, "Woof." + +Lily watched and smiled. She saw that Mimi and Spot were becoming friends. She saw that they were learning how to be nice. She saw that they were happy. She got off the sofa and joined them. She hugged them both. She said, "I love you, Mimi. I love you, Spot. You are both my friends. You can both sit with me." + +Mimi and Spot looked at Lily and said, "Meow. Woof." They wagged their tails and purred. They cuddled and napped. They were friends. They were happy. They shared the sofa with Lily. They were a family. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. Today, they fight over the shampoo. Anna wants to wash her hair with the pink shampoo. Ben wants to wash his hair with the blue shampoo. They both grab the bottles and pull hard. + +"Let go of my shampoo!" Anna yells. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben yells back. + +They pull and pull until the bottles pop open. Shampoo spills everywhere. It gets on their hair, their faces, their clothes, and the floor. They look like big bubbles. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the bathroom. She sees the mess and gets angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "You are wasting shampoo and making a big mess. You are being very rude to each other and to me. You need to say sorry and clean up." + +Anna and Ben feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They say sorry to each other and to Mom. They help Mom wipe the shampoo off the floor and the sink. They wash their hair with water and a little bit of shampoo. They put on clean clothes and hug Mom. + +Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. Next time, please share and be nice. And don't use too much shampoo. It's bad for your hair and the environment." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "We love you too, Mom. We will share and be nice. And we will use less shampoo." They go to their room and play with their toys. They are happy and don't fight anymore. +One day, a boy named Leo and his dad went to the lake to fish. They brought a spear to catch big fish. Leo liked to watch the fish swim in the water. He saw many colors and shapes. + +But the sky was gloomy and dark. It looked like rain. Leo's dad said, "We should go back soon. It might storm." Leo nodded, but he wanted to catch one more fish. + +He saw a big fish near the shore. He threw the spear at it. But he missed. The spear flew past the fish and landed in the water. Leo was sad. He wanted his spear back. + +He ran to the edge of the lake. He reached for the spear. But the water was deep and cold. He slipped and fell in. He cried for help. He could not swim. + +His dad heard him. He dropped his fishing rod and ran to the lake. He saw Leo in the water. He jumped in and grabbed him. He pulled him out and hugged him. He said, "Are you okay, Leo? You scared me. You should not go near the water alone. It is dangerous." + +Leo was wet and cold. He was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted my spear. I lost it in the water." His dad said, "Don't worry about the spear. It is just a thing. You are more important. I'm glad I saved you. I love you, Leo." + +Leo smiled. He said, "I love you too, dad. Thank you for saving me." They went back to their car. They drove home. They were happy. They had each other. +Lily and Ben loved to play with their toy penguin. They named him Poppy and gave him a red scarf. One day, they took Poppy to the park and played with him on the slide and the swings. They had a lot of fun. + +But when they wanted to go home, they could not find Poppy. They looked everywhere, but he was gone. They felt very sad and scared. Where did Poppy go? Did someone take him? Did he run away? + +"Poppy, where are you?" Lily cried. + +"Maybe he is hiding," Ben said. "Let's look under the bench and behind the tree." + +They searched and searched, but they still could not find Poppy. They started to cry louder and louder. They wanted their toy penguin back. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Poppy. He was not hiding. He was stuck on a branch high up in a tree. He had fallen off the slide and landed on the branch. He was scared too. He wanted to go down, but he did not know how. + +"Help, help!" Poppy shouted. "I'm up here!" + +Lily and Ben looked up and saw Poppy. They were so happy. They ran to the tree and called for help. A nice man who was walking his dog heard them and came to help. He climbed the tree and got Poppy down. He gave him back to Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said to the man. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Poppy said to the man. + +They hugged Poppy and put his scarf back on. They were not sad and scared anymore. They were glad and safe. They said goodbye to the man and his dog and went home with Poppy. They never let him vanish again. +Lily liked to dance. She danced at home, at school, and at the park. She danced with her friends, her toys, and her dog. She danced when she was happy, sad, or bored. She was a dancer. + +One day, Lily saw a poster for a dance show. It had many tall dancers in pretty costumes. They looked like they could do amazing things with their legs, arms, and feet. Lily wanted to see them. She asked her mom if they could go. + +Her mom said yes, but they had to buy tickets first. They went to the ticket booth and waited in line. Lily saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. He had a lot of tickets in his hand. He looked at Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, little dancer," he said. "Do you want to see the show?" + +Lily nodded. She was shy, but curious. + +The man gave her a ticket. "Here, this is for you. I have an extra one. You can sit in the front row and see everything. Do you accept?" + +Lily looked at her mom. Her mom nodded. She said it was okay. She said the man was very kind. + +Lily took the ticket. She said thank you. She accepted. + +She and her mom went to the theater. They found their seats. Lily was excited. She held her ticket tightly. She was ready to see the tall dancers. + +The lights went down. The music started. The show began. Lily watched with wonder. She saw the tall dancers move, spin, jump, and twirl. They were beautiful. They were graceful. They were like magic. + +Lily clapped and cheered. She felt happy. She felt inspired. She wanted to be like them. She wanted to be a tall dancer. +Lily and Tom are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily cuts a big circle and a small circle. She puts the small circle on top of the big circle and says, "Look, Tom, I made a snowman!" + +Tom likes Lily's snowman, but he wants to make something different. He cuts a long strip and a short strip. He puts the short strip across the long strip and says, "Look, Lily, I made a cross!" + +Lily and Tom are happy with their shapes, but they want to make them more fun. They look around and see some stickers and crayons. They stick and color their shapes and make them look pretty. + +But then, Tom has an idea. He sees a thick book on the shelf. He takes the book and opens it. He puts his cross on a page and cuts around it. He makes a hole in the book. He says, "Look, Lily, I made a secret place!" + +Lily is curious. She wants to see what is in the hole. She takes the book and looks inside. She sees some words and pictures. She says, "Wow, Tom, this is a story book!" + +Tom and Lily are excited. They want to read the story. They sit down and look at the book. They try to read the words and guess what the pictures mean. They have fun with the book and the hole. They forget about their paper and scissors. They are happy. +Tom and Anna were happy. They liked to go out with Mom and Dad. Today, they were going to a restaurant. It was a lively place with many people and yummy food. Tom and Anna put on their coats and hats. They were ready to go. + +But when they opened the door, they saw something bad. It was raining. The rain was big and loud. It made the street wet and muddy. Tom and Anna did not like the rain. They wanted to stay inside. They said to Mom and Dad, "We don't want to go. The rain is scary. Can we play at home?" + +Mom and Dad smiled. They had a surprise for Tom and Anna. They said, "Don't worry, we have a plan. We can still go to the restaurant. But we need something special. Do you know what it is?" Tom and Anna shook their heads. They did not know. + +Mom and Dad went to the closet. They took out two things. They were colorful and round. They gave one to Tom and one to Anna. They were umbrellas. Tom and Anna had never seen umbrellas before. They were curious and excited. They opened the umbrellas and held them over their heads. They looked like big flowers. + +Mom and Dad said, "Now we can go. The umbrellas will keep us dry. The rain will not touch us. It will be fun. Are you ready?" Tom and Anna nodded. They were ready. They followed Mom and Dad outside. They walked to the restaurant. They saw the rain falling on the umbrellas. They heard the rain making music. They felt the rain making the air fresh. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. They said, "We like the rain. The rain is fun. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for the umbrellas." Mom and Dad hugged them. They said, "You're welcome. We love you." They reached the restaurant. They went inside. They had a good time. They ate yummy food. They laughed and talked. They were a happy family. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and find bugs and flowers. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They are happy. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben says. He holds up the shovel with the worm on it. + +"Wow, Ben, that is a long worm!" Lily says. She leans closer to see it. "Can I touch it?" + +"Okay, but be gentle," Ben says. He puts the shovel on the ground and lets Lily touch the worm. It is slimy and wiggly. + +Suddenly, they hear Mom calling from the house. "Lily, Ben, come inside! It is time to prepare for dinner!" + +Lily and Ben drop the worm and run to the house. They wash their hands and sit at the table. Mom brings a big pot of soup and some bread. It smells good. + +"Thank you, Mom, for the soup," Lily says. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, my loves," Mom says. She smiles and gives them each a kiss. "Now, eat up and then we can watch a movie together." + +Lily and Ben eat their soup and bread. They are hungry and it tastes good. They finish and help Mom clear the table. Then they go to the living room and sit on the couch. Mom turns on the TV and puts on a DVD. It is a movie about animals and their adventures. + +Lily and Ben watch the movie with Mom. They laugh and clap and ask questions. They see lions and monkeys and elephants and giraffes. They learn new words and facts. They feel happy and safe. They love their Mom and their movie night. +Anna and Ben lived in a small house in a green valley. They liked to play outside and see the animals and flowers. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. + +"Look, Ben, the cloud is coming here!" Anna said. + +"Maybe it will rain. Let's go home and cook something warm," Ben said. + +They ran to their house and found some eggs and cheese in the fridge. They asked their mom if they could cook them. + +"Sure, you can cook, but be careful with the stove. I will help you," their mom said. + +She showed them how to crack the eggs and grate the cheese. Then she put a pan on the stove and turned it on. + +"Can I stir the eggs, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, you can, but use this spoon and don't touch the pan. It is hot," their mom said. + +"Can I sprinkle the cheese, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can, but wait until the eggs are cooked. Then you can add the cheese on top," their mom said. + +They cooked the eggs and cheese and put them on some bread. They ate them with some juice and smiled. + +"Yummy, this is good!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, mom, for helping us cook!" Ben said. + +"You're welcome, my sweeties. You did a great job!" their mom said. + +They hugged their mom and looked out the window. The cloud was gone and the sun was shining. + +"Let's go outside and play again!" Anna said. + +"OK, let's go!" Ben said. + +They ran outside and enjoyed the beautiful valley. They were happy and warm. +Ben and Lily like to play baseball in the park. They have a bat, a ball and a glove. Ben likes to hit the ball and Lily likes to catch it. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog runs to Ben and Lily and barks. + +"Hello, dog!" Ben says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog wags its tail and sniffs the ball. It picks up the ball in its mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, come back!" Lily says. "That's our ball!" + +Ben and Lily chase the dog. The dog is fast and runs around the trees and the swings. Ben and Lily get tired and out of breath. + +"Please, dog, give us our ball!" Ben says. + +The dog stops and looks at Ben and Lily. It drops the ball on the ground and licks their faces. + +"Thank you, dog!" Lily says. "You are a good dog!" + +Ben and Lily lift the ball and throw it to the dog. The dog catches it and brings it back. They play fetch with the dog for a while. + +Then, they see a man coming to the park. The man has a leash and a collar. He is the dog's owner. + +"Sorry, kids, I was looking for my dog. He ran away from home. His name is Rex." The man says. + +"That's okay, mister. We had fun with Rex. He likes to play baseball." Ben says. + +The man smiles and puts the leash and the collar on Rex. He thanks Ben and Lily and walks away with Rex. + +"Bye, Rex!" Ben and Lily say. "We hope to see you again!" + +Ben and Lily go back to their bat, ball and glove. They are happy and tired. They decide to go home and have a snack. + +They leave the park and walk to their house. They hold hands and talk about their new friend, Rex. They think he is a nice dog, but a little uncomfortable to play baseball with. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names and sounds. + +When they came to the bird house, they saw a colorful parrot. It had red, blue, green, and yellow feathers. It was sitting on a branch and looking at them. + +"Hello, parrot!" Tom said. "Can you talk?" + +The parrot tilted its head and said, "Hello, hello!" + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Wow, the parrot can talk! What else can you say, parrot?" + +The parrot said, "I can say many things. I can say roar, roar!" + +Tom and Lily laughed and said, "Roar, roar? That's not what parrots say. That's what lions say. Can you say something else, parrot?" + +The parrot said, "I can say meow, meow!" + +Tom and Lily laughed again and said, "Meow, meow? That's not what parrots say. That's what cats say. Can you say something else, parrot?" + +The parrot said, "I can say quack, quack!" + +Tom and Lily laughed even more and said, "Quack, quack? That's not what parrots say. That's what ducks say. Can you say something else, parrot?" + +The parrot said, "I can say anything I want. I am a smart and colorful parrot. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we want to be your friends. You are a funny and clever parrot. What is your name?" + +The parrot said, "My name is Polly. What are your names?" + +Tom and Lily told him their names and said, "Nice to meet you, Polly. We like you a lot. Can we come and visit you again?" + +Polly said, "Of course, you can. I like you too. You are nice and curious. Come and visit me anytime. I will teach you more words and sounds." + +Tom and Lily hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom, for taking us to the zoo. We had so much fun. We made a new friend. His name is Polly. He is a colorful parrot. He can say roar, meow, quack, and hello. He is amazing." + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you enjoyed the zoo. Polly sounds like a wonderful parrot. Maybe we can bring him some seeds next time. Now, let's go home and have some lunch. You must be hungry after all this adventure." + +Tom and Lily agreed and said, "Yes, mom, let's go home. We are hungry and tired. But we are also happy and proud. We learned a lot today. We love the zoo. And we love Polly." +Lily likes to play with her whistle. She blows it loud and makes funny sounds. She hopes her mom and dad will hear her and smile. She likes to make them happy. + +But today, mom and dad are busy. They have to work on their computers and talk on the phone. They tell Lily to be quiet and not to bother them. Lily feels sad and lonely. She puts her whistle away and sits on the couch. + +She looks out the window and sees a bird. The bird is singing and flying in the sky. Lily thinks the bird is beautiful and free. She wishes she could be like the bird. She hopes the bird will come to her and be her friend. + +She opens the window and calls to the bird. She tries to whistle like the bird, but she can't. She remembers her whistle and runs to get it. She blows it loud and makes funny sounds. She hopes the bird will hear her and come to her. + +The bird hears Lily and flies to the window. It lands on the sill and looks at Lily. It tilts its head and whistles back. Lily smiles and whistles again. The bird flaps its wings and whistles some more. Lily and the bird have a conversation. They make each other happy. + +Mom and dad hear Lily and the bird. They stop working and look at them. They see Lily smiling and laughing. They see the bird singing and dancing. They feel sorry for being busy and ignoring Lily. They join Lily and the bird at the window. They whistle and clap and hug. They make a family. +Lily liked to count. She counted everything she saw. She counted the birds in the sky, the cars on the road, the flowers in the garden. She counted her fingers and toes, her toys and books, her friends and family. She thought counting was fun and made her feel smart. + +One day, she met a boy named Max. He also liked to count, but he was not very nice. He said he could count better than Lily, and that he had more power. He said he could count to a hundred, and that Lily was ordinary and silly. He said he would show her his power by counting all the stars in the night. + +Lily did not like Max. She did not want to see his power. She wanted to go home and play with her teddy bear. But Max grabbed her hand and dragged her to the park. He pointed to the sky and said, "Look, Lily, I will count all the stars and you will see how great I am. One, two, three, four, five..." + +Lily tried to pull away, but Max held her tight. He kept counting and counting, louder and louder. He did not care about Lily, or the people around, or the time. He only cared about his power and his counting. He did not see the dark clouds coming, or the lightning flashing, or the thunder roaring. + +He did not hear Lily crying, or the sirens wailing, or the rain pouring. He only heard his own voice, counting and counting, until a big bolt of lightning struck him and he fell to the ground. Lily was scared and hurt. She wished she never met Max. She wished she was home with her teddy bear. She wished she never counted again. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they also liked to look at the flowers. There were many colors and shapes of flowers. Sara and Tom wanted to pick some flowers for their mom. + +They saw a big bush with purple flowers. They ran to the bush and stared at the flowers. They were very pretty. But they also saw something weird. There was a big bee on one of the flowers. The bee was black and yellow and had a long stinger. + +"Look, Tom, a bee!" Sara said. "It is very big and scary. Do you think it will sting us?" + +"I don't know, Sara," Tom said. "Maybe we should not pick these flowers. Maybe we should find another bush." + +But Sara liked the purple flowers. She wanted to pick one for her mom. She reached out her hand to the flower with the bee. She did not see the bee move. + +"Careful, Sara!" Tom shouted. "The bee is angry!" + +But it was too late. The bee flew to Sara's hand and stung her. Sara screamed and dropped the flower. She ran to Tom and hugged him. Her hand hurt a lot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried. "The bee stung me! It hurts so much!" + +Tom felt sorry for Sara. He took her hand and blew on it. He tried to make her feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "The bee was mean. Let's go to mom. She will help you." + +They left the bush and the bee. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw Sara's hand and hugged her. She took out a band-aid and put it on Sara's hand. + +"It's okay, Sara," mom said. "The bee sting will go away soon. You are very brave. I love you." + +She kissed Sara's hand and smiled. She also smiled at Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom, for being a good brother," mom said. "You are very kind. I love you too." + +She kissed Tom's cheek and hugged him. She looked at the flowers they had picked. + +"They are very beautiful," mom said. "Thank you for the flowers. They make me happy." + +Sara and Tom smiled. They felt better. They gave mom the flowers and hugged her. They loved mom. And mom loved them. +Lily liked to help her mom with her job. Her mom was a teacher and she had many books and papers in her office. Lily wanted to be a teacher too when she grew up. + +One day, Lily went to her mom's office after school. She saw a big pile of books on the desk. She thought her mom would be happy if she organized them. She climbed on a chair and started to move the books. She tried to make them look neat and tidy. + +But the pile was too high and heavy. Lily leaned too much and the books fell down. They made a loud noise and a big mess. Lily was scared and sad. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Lily and the books on the floor. She was not angry. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. I know you wanted to help me, but this is not a good way to do it. You could have hurt yourself or damaged the books. Next time, ask me before you touch anything in my office, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make you proud. I wanted to be like you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You make me proud every day, Lily. You don't have to be like me. You have to be yourself. You have your own talents and interests. You can be anything you want to be when you grow up. But for now, you are my little helper and I love you very much." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Can I help you clean up the mess?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, you can. Let's do it together." + +They worked as a team and put the books back on the shelf. They had fun and learned from each other. Lily learned that being organized is important, but not as important as being careful and respectful. Her mom learned that Lily was curious and eager to learn, but needed some guidance and support. They both learned that helping each other is the best way to do any job. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today the weather is bad. It is cold and wet. Lily and Ben are sad. + +They ask their moms if they can go outside. Their moms say no. They say it is not safe. Lily and Ben do not understand. They want to have fun. + +They look at their toys. They have many toys. But they do not want to play with them. They are bored. They want to play outside. + +They have an idea. They go to their closets. They find their boots and coats. They put them on. They look at each other. They smile. They are fit. They are ready. + +They run to the door. They open it. They go outside. They jump in the puddles. They splash each other. They laugh. They have fun. + +Their moms see them. They are not angry. They are happy. They understand. They remember when they were kids. They join them. They jump in the puddles. They splash each other. They laugh. They have fun. +Sara and Tom were twins who lived on a farm. They liked to play in the fields and watch the wheat grow. Wheat was tall and yellow and made bread. Sara and Tom loved bread. + +One day, they saw a big knife in the barn. It was shiny and sharp. Sara wanted to touch it, but Tom said no. "That is for cutting wheat, not for playing. It can hurt you," he said. Sara did not listen. She reached for the knife, but Tom pulled her back. "Let's go and see the cows instead," he said. + +They ran to the cowshed and saw the farmer milking the cows. He smiled and gave them a glass of milk each. "How are you, Sara and Tom?" he asked. "We are good," they said. "We like the cows. They are soft and warm." The farmer nodded. "They are good cows. They give us milk and cheese. Do you know what else we get from the farm?" + +Sara and Tom shook their heads. The farmer pointed to the fields. "We get wheat from the farm. Wheat is good for making bread. Do you like bread?" Sara and Tom nodded. They loved bread. "Well, today is a special day. We are going to harvest the wheat. Do you want to help?" The farmer asked. + +Sara and Tom clapped their hands. They wanted to help. They followed the farmer to the fields, where he showed them how to use the knife. "You have to be careful with this. It is very sharp. It can cut the wheat, but it can also cut you. Only use it when I tell you, and never play with it. Do you understand?" He said. Sara and Tom nodded. They understood. + +They worked hard and cut the wheat. They made big piles of wheat and put them in a wagon. The farmer was proud of them. "You did a great job, Sara and Tom. You are very helpful. Now we have enough wheat to make bread for the whole winter. You deserve a treat. How about some fresh bread and jam?" He said. + +Sara and Tom smiled. They were happy. They liked helping the farmer. They liked the wheat. They liked the bread. They thought it was the best bread ever. It was warm and soft and sweet. It was perfect. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys of different shapes and colors, and they made up stories with them. Sometimes they played nicely, and sometimes they fought over the toys. + +One day, their mom told them to clean their room before dinner. She gave them a big sack to put their toys in. Anna was enthusiastic and started to pick up her toys and put them in the sack. She wanted to make her mom happy and have a tidy room. But Ben was lazy and did not want to clean. He said, "I don't like to clean. It is boring. I want to play more." + +Anna said, "Ben, you have to help me. Mom said so. If we clean together, it will be faster and easier. And then we can play more after dinner." + +But Ben did not listen. He ignored Anna and kept playing with his toys. He made a mess and threw his toys everywhere. Anna was sad and angry. She said, "Ben, you are not nice. You are making more work for me. You are not a good brother." + +Ben did not care. He said, "I don't care. I like to play. You are not fun. You are a bossy sister." + +Anna and Ben stopped talking and continued to do their own things. Anna cleaned and Ben played. After a while, their mom came to check on them. She saw that Anna had filled the sack with her toys and Ben had scattered his toys all over the room. She was very proud of Anna and very disappointed in Ben. She said, "Anna, you did a great job. You are a responsible and helpful daughter. You can have a cookie and choose a toy to play with. Ben, you did a bad job. You are a lazy and selfish son. You have to clean your toys by yourself and you cannot have a cookie or a toy." + +Anna was happy and thanked her mom. She took a cookie and chose her favorite toy. Ben was unhappy and complained to his mom. He said, "That is not fair. Why does Anna get a cookie and a toy and I don't?" + +His mom said, "Because Anna cleaned her toys and you did not. Cleaning is important. It shows that you respect your things and your space. It also shows that you care about others and their feelings. You have to learn to clean and to share. Maybe then you and Anna can get along better and have more fun." + +Ben realized that his mom was right. He felt sorry for being lazy and selfish. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I will clean my toys and be a better brother. Can you help me, Anna?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I will help you. I'm glad you are sorry. I love you, Ben." + +Ben said, "I love you too, Anna." + +They hugged and started to clean together. Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. I love you both." + +The moral of the story is: Cleaning is important and shows respect and care. Sharing and helping are good and make people happy. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the sand near the big water. They made castles and holes and bridges with the sand. Sometimes they ran to the big water and let the waves splash them. The big water was wet and salty and made their skin sticky. + +One day, they found a big shell in the sand. It was white and shiny and had a hole in it. Sam put the shell to his ear and said he could hear the big water inside. Lily wanted to try too, so they took turns listening to the shell. + +They decided to take the shell home and show it to their mom. They put it in a bucket and filled it with water from the big water. They carried the bucket carefully and did not spill any water. + +When they got home, they showed the shell to their mom. She smiled and said it was a pretty shell. She asked them where they found it and they told her about the sand and the big water. She said they could keep the shell in their room, but they had to change the water every day. + +The next day, Sam and Lily forgot to change the water in the bucket. They went to play with their toys and left the bucket in the corner. The water got warm and smelly and the shell started to stink. The stink filled the room and made them cough. + +They ran to their mom and told her about the stink. She went to their room and saw the bucket. She said they had to throw away the water and the shell. She said the shell had a dead animal inside that was soaking in the salt water. She said the animal was rotting and making the stink. + +Sam and Lily felt sad and sorry. They liked the shell and wanted to keep it. They said they were sorry to their mom and helped her throw away the water and the shell. They learned that they had to take care of the things they found in the sand and the big water. They said they would be more careful next time. +One day, a prince wanted to run in the park. He put on his impressive red cape and his shiny shoes. He told his mother, the queen, that he was going out. + +"Be careful, my son," the queen said. "Don't run too fast or too far. And don't talk to strangers." + +The prince nodded and kissed his mother. He ran out of the palace and into the park. He felt happy and free. He ran past the flowers, the trees, and the pond. He saw many birds and animals. He said hello to them. + +"Hello, bird. Hello, duck. Hello, squirrel." + +He ran until he reached a big hill. He climbed up the hill and looked around. He saw a big castle on the other side. He wondered who lived there. He wanted to see it closer. + +He ran down the hill and towards the castle. He did not see the sign that said "Keep Out". He did not hear the dog that barked. He did not notice the guard that shouted. + +"Hey, you! Stop! Who are you?" + +The prince did not stop. He ran faster. He reached the gate of the castle. He tried to open it. It was locked. He looked for a way in. He saw a small hole in the wall. He crawled through it. + +He was inside the castle. He saw many rooms and halls. He saw many paintings and statues. He saw many things he had never seen before. He was curious and excited. He wanted to explore. + +He ran from room to room. He touched everything he saw. He did not know that he was making a mess. He did not know that he was in trouble. He did not know that someone was watching him. +Anna liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many skirts and hats and shoes for them. She made them talk and sing and dance. She was happy. + +But then her big sister Lily came into her room. Lily was bossy. She wanted to play with Anna's dolls too. She said, "Give me that skirt. It is mine. You are too little for it." + +Anna said, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I got it for my birthday. Go away." + +Lily got angry. She grabbed the skirt from Anna's hand. She pulled it hard. The skirt ripped. Anna cried. + +Lily said, "Ha ha, now you have no skirt. It is your fault. You are a baby. You don't know how to play." + +Anna was very sad. She ran to her mom. She told her what Lily did. Mom was mad at Lily. She said, "Lily, you are mean. You have to say sorry to Anna. And you have to give her a new skirt." + +Lily said, "No, I don't. I don't care. Anna is stupid. I hate her." + +Mom said, "That is enough. You are grounded. Go to your room. And no dolls for you." + +Lily stomped to her room. She slammed the door. She was not sorry. She was still bossy. She was lonely. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They were having fun. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Lily and Ben were fearful. They did not like the dog. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben said. He took Lily's hand and they ran away from the dog. They looked for a safe place to hide. They saw a big tree. They ran to the tree and climbed up. They hoped the dog would not find them. + +The dog came to the tree. He smelled Lily and Ben. He wanted to play with them. He jumped and tried to reach them. He made loud noises. Lily and Ben were scared. They hugged each other and cried. + +A man came to the park. He saw the dog and the children. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog's name. "Rex, come here! Stop that!" He ran to the tree and took the dog's leash. He said sorry to Lily and Ben. He said the dog was friendly and did not mean to scare them. He said he would warn other people to keep the dog on the leash. + +Lily and Ben came down from the tree. They were still fearful. They did not want to play with the dog.

She said they could play some more or go home. + +Lily and Ben looked at the sky. They saw the sunshine. They felt better. They decided to play some more. They went to the sandbox. They made a castle with sand. They forgot about the dog. They were happy. +Anna and Ben liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. They also liked to splash in the water, but not too far from the shore. Their mom told them to be careful of the big waves. + +One day, they saw a big wave coming. It was bigger than any wave they had ever seen. It looked scary and angry. Anna and Ben ran to their mom, who was sitting on a towel. She saw the wave too and told them to hold her hand. + +The wave crashed on the beach. It was very loud and wet. It knocked over their sand castles and took some of their shells. It also pushed a small boat onto the sand. The boat had a hole in it and was leaking water. Anna and Ben saw a man in the boat. He looked hurt and sad. + +Anna and Ben wanted to help the man. They asked their mom if they could. She said yes, but they had to be careful. She gave them a blanket and a bottle of water. They ran to the boat and climbed inside. They wrapped the blanket around the man and gave him some water. They asked him his name and where he came from. + +The man said his name was Sam and he came from a faraway island. He said he was fishing when the big wave hit his boat. He said he was lucky to be alive and thanked Anna and Ben for helping him. He said they were very brave and kind. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They felt happy and proud. They had helped a stranger in need. They had also made a new friend. They asked Sam if he wanted to play with them. He said yes, but first he had to fix his boat. He said he had some tools and some wood in his boat. He asked Anna and Ben if they wanted to help him. They said yes, but they had to ask their mom first. They ran to their mom and told her about Sam and his boat. She said they could help him, but they had to be serious and careful. She said she would watch them from the shore. + +Anna and Ben ran back to the boat. They helped Sam fix his boat. They used hammers and nails and glue. They also painted the boat with bright colors. They made it look new and happy. They also gave Sam some of their shells to decorate his boat. They had fun working together. + +When the boat was fixed, Sam thanked Anna and Ben again. He said he had to go back to his island, but he would never forget them. He said they were his heroes. He gave them each a hug and a kiss. He also gave them a gift. It was a necklace made of shells and beads. He said it was a lucky charm. He said it would protect them from the big waves. + +Anna and Ben put on their necklaces. They felt lucky and loved. They waved goodbye to Sam as he sailed away. They watched him until he disappeared in the horizon. They hoped he would be safe and happy. They also hoped they would see him again someday. They went back to their mom and told her everything. She hugged them and said they were amazing. She said she was proud of them. She said they had learned a valuable lesson. She said they had learned to help others in need. She said that was the best way to make friends and have fun. She said that was the best way to live. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play with paper and crayons. They made many prints of animals, cars, and stars. They were proud of their prints and hung them on the wall. + +One day, their mom asked them to help her clean the house. Sam and Ben did not want to help. They wanted to play more. They said no to their mom and ran to their room. They slammed the door and locked it. + +Their mom was sad and angry. She knocked on the door and told them to open it. But Sam and Ben ignored her.

She asked them to be more careful and respectful next time. + +Sam and Ben learned their lesson. They learned that scattering their prints was not fun. It was rude and wasteful. They learned that their prints were precious and they should take care of them. They learned that their mom and dad worked hard and they should help them. They learned that saying sorry and being sorry were important. They learned to be better brothers and sons. +Tom and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a toy phone that can record sounds.

But the cricket is shy. It does not want to be recorded. It stays in the hole and stops chirping. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They try to make the cricket come out. They say, "Please, cricket, we want to record you. We like your sound. We are your friends." + +But the cricket does not listen. It does not trust Tom and Mia. It thinks they are big and scary. It does not want to be seen or heard. + +Tom and Mia give up. They decide to record something else. They walk away from the hole.

Your toys are here. See?" she said. + +She opened the closet and showed him his toys. They were all there. The teddy bear, the red car, the blue ball and the yellow duck. Tom was very happy. He smiled and hugged his mom. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can you bring my toys to my bed? I want to cuddle them," he said. + +"Of course, Tom. Here you go. Now, try to sleep again. I will stay with you until you fall asleep. No more monsters, okay?" she said. + +She brought his toys to his bed and tucked him in. She kissed him and sang him a lullaby. Tom felt safe and warm. He cuddled his toys and closed his eyes. He had a good dream. He dreamed that he and his mom and his toys had a picnic in the park. He was very happy. He did not have any more terrible dreams. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the woods near their home. One day, they find a red cabin in the woods. They are curious and want to see inside. + +"Let's get closer," Lily says to Max. "Maybe someone lives there." + +"OK, but be careful," Max says. "It might be a bad person's cabin." + +They walk to the red cabin and peek through the window. They see a table, a chair, a bed, and a fireplace. They also see a big basket with food and a red hood. + +"Look, Max, it's like the story of Little Red Riding Hood," Lily says. "Maybe this is her cabin." + +"Or maybe it's the wolf's cabin," Max says. "Maybe he ate Little Red Riding Hood and took her food and hood." + +Lily and Max get scared. They hear a noise behind the cabin. They think it is the wolf. They run away as fast as they can. + +"Help, help, the wolf is coming!" they shout. + +But it is not the wolf. It is their mom. She followed them to the woods. She sees the red cabin and smiles. + +"Don't worry, kids, it's not the wolf's cabin," she says. "It's our cabin. I rented it for the weekend. I wanted to surprise you. We can have a picnic and a sleepover here. Isn't that fun?" + +Lily and Max are happy. They hug their mom and say sorry for running away. They go inside the red cabin and enjoy their food and hood. They are not scared anymore. They like the red cabin. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. Tom is deaf. He cannot hear. Sam can hear. He can talk. He can also use his hands to talk to Tom. + +One day, they see a dog in the park. The dog is big and brown. It has a collar. The collar has a name. The name is Rex. Rex is lost. He looks sad. + +Sam says to Tom, "Look, a dog! His name is Rex. He is lost. Do you want to help him?" + +Tom nods. He likes dogs. He uses his hands to say, "Yes, let's help him. Maybe we can find his home." + +They go to Rex. They pet him. He wags his tail. He likes them. Sam says, "Rex, come with us. We will help you." He holds Rex's collar. He leads him. Tom follows. + +They walk around the park. They look for Rex's home. They ask people. They show them Rex's collar. They say, "Do you know Rex? He is lost. Where is his home?" + +But no one knows Rex. No one knows his home. Rex is still sad. Tom and Sam are sad too. + +They go to a bench. They sit with Rex. They hug him. They say, "Don't worry, Rex. We will find your home. We are your friends." Rex licks their faces. He is happy. He has friends. +Ben and Lily liked to go to the lake with their dad. They would play with the ducks, throw stones in the water, and have a picnic. Sometimes, their dad would whistle a song for them, and they would try to whistle too. + +One day, they saw a new boy at the lake. He was sitting on a bench, looking dull. He had no toys, no friends, and no smile. Ben and Lily wanted to cheer him up, so they went to say hello. + +"Hi, I'm Ben, and this is Lily. What's your name?" Ben asked. + +The boy looked up and said, "I'm Sam. I'm new here. I don't know anyone." + +"Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. "We have a ball, and some cookies, and a whistle." + +Sam nodded, and followed them to the grass. They played catch, shared their cookies, and tried to whistle. Sam was shy at first, but soon he started to laugh and have fun. + +Their dad watched them and smiled. He was proud of his kids for being kind and friendly. He whistled a happy tune, and they all joined in. + +The moral of the story is: Be nice to others, and you will make new friends. +Lily and Ben were playing a game. They had to roll a big tire to the end of the yard. The first one to get there would win. Lily and Ben both wanted to win very much. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they started to roll the tire. Lily was faster than Ben, and she was soon ahead of him. Ben tried to catch up, but he was getting tired. He saw a puddle of mud on the way, and he had an idea. + +He rolled his tire into the puddle, and then splashed some mud on Lily's tire. Lily's tire got dirty and slippery, and she could not roll it well. She slipped and fell on the ground. She was covered in mud. + +"Ha ha, I win!" Ben said, as he reached the end of the yard. He was very happy. He did not see that his tire was also full of mud. + +Lily got up and looked at Ben. She was very sad and angry. She did not like what Ben did. She thought it was mean and cheating. She said to Ben, "You did not win fair. You made my tire disgusting. That is not nice. You are not a good friend." + +Ben felt bad. He realized that Lily was right. He did not win fair. He made her tire disgusting. That was not nice. He was not a good friend. He said to Lily, "I am sorry, Lily. You are right. I did not win fair. I made your tire disgusting. That was not nice. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She said to Ben, "I forgive you, Ben. But next time, do not cheat. Play fair. That is what good friends do." + +Ben nodded. He said to Lily, "Thank you, Lily. I will not cheat. I will play fair. That is what good friends do." + +They hugged and smiled. They learned a lesson. They learned that cheating is not winning. They learned that playing fair is more important than winning. They learned that being a good friend is the best thing to do. +Mia loved to dress up. She had many hats and coats and shoes in her big box. She liked to pretend she was a princess or a pirate or a doctor. She always had fun with her dress up games. + +One day, her mom told her there was a parade in the park. She said Mia could dress up and join the parade with other kids. Mia was very excited. She ran to her box and picked out her favorite dress up clothes. She put on a pink hat, a purple coat, a green skirt and yellow shoes. She looked in the mirror and smiled. + +"Are you ready, Mia?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom! I look so pretty!" Mia said. + +They went to the park and saw many other kids dressed up. There were clowns and fairies and superheroes and animals. Mia felt happy. She wanted to join the parade. + +But then she saw a big dog. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards the kids. Mia felt fearful. She did not like dogs. She thought the dog would bite her or chase her. She hid behind her mom and cried. + +"Mia, don't be scared. The dog is friendly. He is part of the parade. He is dressed up as a lion. See, he has a mane and a tail. He is just playing," her mom said. + +Mia peeked from behind her mom. She saw the dog had a fake mane and a fake tail. He was not a real lion. He was just a dog. He wagged his tail and licked a kid's face. The kid laughed. Mia felt less fearful. She thought the dog was funny. + +"Can I pet him, mom?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, Mia. Just be gentle and ask his owner first," her mom said. + +Mia walked slowly to the dog. She asked his owner if she could pet him. The owner said yes. Mia touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked her hand. Mia giggled. She felt happy. She made a new friend. + +She joined the parade with the dog and his owner. She waved to the people and smiled. She had fun with her dress up game. She was not fearful anymore. She was brave. +Sara loves to play with yarn. She has many colors of yarn in her box. She likes to make shapes and pictures with yarn on the floor. She can make a star, a heart, a flower and more. + +One day, Sara finds a new yarn in her box. It is shiny and soft. It is perfect for her. She takes it out and starts to make a big circle with it. She thinks it will be a sun. She is very happy. + +But then, her cat sees the yarn. He likes to play with yarn too. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps on the yarn and tries to catch it. He pulls and bites the yarn. He makes the circle into a mess. + +Sara sees her cat and says, "No, kitty, no! That is my yarn. You are ruining my sun. Stop it, kitty, stop it!" She tries to take the yarn from her cat. But her cat does not want to let go. He runs away with the yarn. He moves very fast. + +Sara chases her cat around the house. She says, "Give me back my yarn, kitty, give me back my yarn!" She is very sad and angry. She wants her perfect yarn back. She wants to make her sun again. But her cat is too quick and clever. He hides under the bed with the yarn. He thinks it is a game. He is very happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing on the big swings. They go up and down, up and down. They feel happy and free. + +"Look, Sara, look!" Ben says. He points to the ground. "There are many ants there. They are so small and busy. They carry things to their home." + +Sara jumps off the swing and runs to see the ants. She bends down and watches them. They are black and shiny. They have six legs and two feelers. They walk in a line. + +"Wow, they are amazing!" Sara says. "Can we touch them?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, we can't. They might bite us. And they are disgusting. They eat dirty things. Yuck!" + +Sara makes a face. "You are right. They are disgusting. Let's go back to the swing. It is more fun." + +They run back to the swing and hop on. They swing higher and higher. They forget about the ants. They laugh and sing. They enjoy the sun and the breeze. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tim invites Sam to his house. He says, "Come to my house after lunch. We can play with my new car. It is big and red and fast." + +Sam is happy. He likes Tim's new car. He says, "Yes, I will come to your house. Thank you for inviting me." + +But Sam's mom is not happy. She says, "No, you cannot go to Tim's house. You have to take a nap. It is important for you to sleep. You are very tired." + +Sam is sad. He does not want to take a nap. He wants to play with Tim and his new car. He says, "But mom, I am not tired. I want to go to Tim's house. Please, let me go." + +Sam's mom is angry. She says, "No, you have to listen to me. You are a bad boy. Go to your room and take a nap. Now!" + +Sam cries. He goes to his room. He does not take a nap. He is mad at his mom. He thinks, "I hate my mom. She is mean. She does not let me have fun." + +He sees his alarm on his table. It is a toy alarm. It makes a loud noise when you press a button. He has an idea. He thinks, "I will make my mom sorry. I will make her mad. I will make her scared." + +He takes his alarm and sneaks out of his room. He goes to the kitchen. He sees his mom cooking. She does not see him. He puts his alarm under the table. He presses the button. He runs away. + +The alarm makes a loud noise. It sounds like a fire. His mom hears the noise. She is scared. She thinks, "There is a fire in the kitchen. I have to get out. I have to save Sam." + +She drops the pot. She runs to the door. She opens the door. She sees smoke. She screams. + +But there is no fire. There is only smoke. The smoke is from the pot. The pot is burning. The pot is on the stove. The stove is on. The stove is hot. + +The smoke fills the kitchen. The smoke sets off the fire alarm. The fire alarm makes a louder noise. It sounds like a siren. The siren is loud. + +The neighbors hear the siren. They see the smoke. They think, "There is a fire in Sam's house. We have to help. We have to call the firemen." + +They call the firemen. The firemen come. They see the smoke. They think, "There is a fire in Sam's house. We have to put it out. We have to save Sam and his mom." + +They break the door. They enter the house. They see the pot. They see the alarm. They see Sam. + +Sam is hiding. He is scared. He is sorry. He thinks, "I made a big mistake. I did a bad thing. I hurt my mom. I hurt the firemen. I hurt the neighbors. I am a bad boy." + +The firemen are angry. They say, "Who did this? Who made this mess? Who wasted our time? Who played with the alarm?" + +Sam's mom is sad. She says, "It was Sam. He did this. He was mad at me. He wanted to go to Tim's house. He did not take a nap. He played with the alarm." + +The firemen are disappointed. They say, "Sam, you are a bad boy. You should not play with the alarm. You should not make a fake fire. You should not scare your mom. You should not waste our time. You should listen to your mom. You should take a nap. It is important for you to sleep. You are very tired." + +Sam cries. He says, "I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry." + +But it is too late. He cannot go to Tim's house. He cannot play with his new car. He cannot be friends with Tim. He has to stay in his room. He has to take a nap. He has to be punished. + +He is sad. He is lonely. He is sorry. + +The end. +Tom likes to drive his toy car around the house. He makes vroom-vroom noises and pretends he is a racer. He drives fast and slow, left and right, up and down. + +One day, he sees a bird outside the window. The bird is blue and yellow and has a long tail. It sings a pretty song and hops on the branch. Tom wants to see the bird closer. He drives his toy car to the window and tries to reach the bird. + +But the bird is too high and the window is too hard. Tom cannot touch the bird or hear its song. He feels frustrated. He bangs on the window with his toy car and shouts, "Bird, come here! I want to play with you!" + +The bird hears the noise and sees Tom. It is scared of the loud boy and the big car. It flies away to another tree. Tom is sad and angry. He throws his toy car on the floor and cries, "No, bird, don't go! Come back!" + +Mom hears Tom crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken toy car and the empty window. She hugs Tom and says, "What happened, sweetie? Why are you upset?" + +Tom tells Mom about the bird and how he wanted to play with it. Mom says, "I'm sorry, honey, but you can't play with the bird. The bird is wild and free. It lives in the sky and the trees. It doesn't like loud noises or big cars. It likes to sing and fly and be with other birds." + +Tom says, "But I like the bird. It is pretty and fun. Can I have a bird as a pet?" + +Mom says, "Maybe when you are older, you can have a bird as a pet. But for now, you have to respect the bird and let it be. You can watch the bird from afar and enjoy its beauty. But you can't chase it or catch it or make it stay. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, Mom, I understand. I'm sorry I broke my toy car and scared the bird. Can you fix my toy car and can we look for another bird?" + +Mom says, "Of course, my love. I can fix your toy car and we can look for another bird. But remember, be gentle and quiet and don't try to drive to the bird. OK?" + +Tom says, "OK, Mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Tom. Now let's go and find your toy car and a new bird." +Lily was a shy girl. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to sit by herself and read books. She had a red cap that she always wore. It made her feel safe. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. There were many other kids there. They were playing and laughing. Lily felt scared. She did not want to join them. She sat on a bench and opened her book. + +"Hi, what are you reading?" A boy came up to her. He had a blue cap and a big smile. He looked friendly. + +Lily did not answer. She hid behind her book. She hoped he would go away. + +"Can I sit with you?" The boy asked. He did not go away. He sat next to her on the bench. + +Lily felt nervous. She did not know what to say. She wished he would leave her alone. + +"I like your cap. It's red. My cap is blue. Do you like blue?" The boy said. He tried to make her talk. + +Lily looked at him. He was not mean. He was just curious. Maybe he wanted to be her friend. + +She nodded. She liked blue. She liked his cap too. + +"Can I see your book?" The boy asked. He reached for her book. + +Lily hesitated. She liked her book. She did not want to share it. But she did not want to be rude. + +She nodded again. She gave him her book. He looked at it. + +"It's a book about animals. I like animals. Do you like animals?" The boy said. He showed her a picture of a lion. + +Lily smiled. She liked animals too. She liked lions. They were brave and strong. + +She nodded. She pointed at the lion. She said, "Lion." + +The boy smiled back. He said, "Lion. You can talk. What's your name?" + +Lily felt shy. But she also felt happy. She made a new friend. She said, "Lily." + +The boy said, "Lily. That's a pretty name. I'm Tom. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded. She put on her cap. She took his hand. They went to play with the other kids. They had fun. They were not scared. They were happy. +Lily likes to play with makeup. She has a big box of makeup that her mom gave her. She likes to put makeup on her face, her dolls and her teddy bear. She thinks makeup makes everything pretty. + +One day, Lily sees her dad in the bathroom. He is bald. He has no hair on his head. Lily thinks he looks sad. She wants to make him happy. She has an idea. She runs to her room and gets her box of makeup. + +She comes back to the bathroom and says, "Dad, I have a surprise for you. I can make you pretty with makeup." She opens her box and takes out a pink lipstick. She says, "This is for your lips. It will make them shiny and sweet." She puts the lipstick on her dad's lips. He smiles a little. + +Then she takes out a blue eyeshadow. She says, "This is for your eyes. It will make them bright and sparkly." She puts the eyeshadow on her dad's eyelids. He laughs a little. + +Then she takes out a yellow powder. She says, "This is for your head. It will make it look like you have hair." She sprinkles the powder on her dad's bald head. He chuckles a lot. + +Lily looks at her dad and says, "You are so pretty, dad. I love you." She hugs him and kisses him. He hugs her and kisses her back. He says, "You are so sweet, Lily. I love you too. Thank you for the makeup. You made me happy." They look at each other and smile. They are happy. +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a big mirror on the wall, where she could see herself and her toys. She liked to pretend that her teddy bear was a pilot, and that her doll was a princess. She made them fly and soar in the air, and talk to each other. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He was older and bigger than Lily, and he liked to tease her. He saw her playing with her toys, and he said, "That's silly. Teddy bears can't fly. Dolls can't be princesses. You're too little to know anything." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She said, "No, you're silly. Teddy bears can fly. Dolls can be princesses. You're too mean to play with me." + +Max laughed and grabbed her teddy bear. He said, "Give me that. I'll show you what teddy bears can do." He threw the teddy bear across the room, and it hit the mirror. The mirror cracked and broke, and the teddy bear fell to the floor. + +Lily screamed and ran to her teddy bear. She picked it up and hugged it. She saw that it had a tear in its fur, and that its eye was loose. She cried and said, "You broke my teddy bear. You broke my mirror. You're a bad brother." + +Max felt sorry and scared. He saw the broken mirror and the broken teddy bear. He saw Lily crying and he said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your things. I was just joking. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at him and said, "You have to fix my teddy bear. You have to fix my mirror. You have to be nice to me." + +Max nodded and said, "OK, Lily. I'll try to fix your teddy bear. I'll try to fix your mirror. I'll try to be nice to you." + +He took the teddy bear and the mirror pieces, and went to find some glue and some tape. He hoped he could make them look like before. He hoped Lily would forgive him. He learned that he should not be mean to his sister, and that he should not break her things. He learned that teddy bears can fly, and dolls can be princesses, in Lily's imagination. +Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasure. They had a big bucket and a small shovel each. + +"Look, look, I found a shiny thing!" Mia said, holding up a coin. "Maybe it is gold. Maybe we are rich!" + +Sam ran over to see. He took the coin and looked at it. It was not gold. It was brown and dirty. He threw it back in the sand. + +"That is not treasure. That is trash," he said. "We need to find something better." + +They kept digging. They dug deeper and deeper. They hoped to find something amazing. + +Suddenly, Sam hit something hard. He cleared the sand around it. It was a big bone. He pulled it out. It was longer than his arm. + +"Wow, what is this?" he asked. "Is it a dinosaur bone?" + +Mia came closer. She saw the bone. She was scared. She saw more bones in the hole. They looked like a person. + +"Sam, Sam, that is not a dinosaur. That is a skeleton!" she said. "A skeleton is a person with no skin or hair or eyes. It is spooky. Maybe it is a ghost!" + +Sam was not scared. He was curious. He wanted to see the skeleton. He poked it with his shovel. + +"Hello, skeleton. Who are you? Why are you here?" he said. + +The skeleton did not answer. It did not move. It did not make a sound. + +Mia was very scared. She grabbed Sam's hand. + +"Sam, Sam, let's go. Let's leave the skeleton alone. Maybe it is angry. Maybe it will chase us," she said. + +Sam looked at Mia. He saw that she was crying. He felt sorry for her. He dropped his shovel and his bone. + +"Okay, okay, Mia. We can go. We don't need the skeleton. We have each other. We are the best treasure," he said. + +He hugged Mia. They ran away from the hole. They left the skeleton in the sand. They did not look back. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun making noises and pretending to drive and talk. + +Suddenly, Ben heard a loud crash from the kitchen. He ran to see what happened and saw his mom on the floor. She had slipped on some water and hurt her arm. She was crying and holding her arm. + +"Mommy, are you okay?" Ben asked, feeling scared. + +"No, honey, I think I broke my arm. It hurts a lot. Can you get me the phone?" Mom said, trying to be brave. + +Ben got the phone and gave it to Mom. Mom called Dad and told him what happened. Dad said he would come home right away and take Mom to the hospital. He told Ben and Lily to stay calm and wait for him. + +Ben and Lily went back to the living room and sat on the couch. They hugged each other and hoped Mom would be okay. They felt sad and worried. + +Soon, Dad came home and helped Mom get up. He put a scarf around her arm to wrap it and make it feel better. He told Ben and Lily to get their coats and shoes. They were going to the hospital with Mom. + +At the hospital, Mom had to get an x-ray. An x-ray is a picture of the bones inside the body. It can show if a bone is broken or not. A nice lady took Mom to a room with a big machine. She told Ben and Lily to wait outside with Dad. + +Ben and Lily waited for a long time. They were bored and hungry. They wished Mom would come back soon. + +Finally, Mom came back with a big smile. She had a white thing on her arm. It was called a cast. It was to keep her arm still and help it heal. She said the x-ray showed she had a small crack in her bone, but it was not too bad. She said she would be fine in a few weeks. + +Ben and Lily were so happy to see Mom cheerful. They ran to hug her and kiss her. They told her they loved her and they were sorry she got hurt. + +Mom hugged them back and thanked them for being so good and brave. She said she loved them too and she was proud of them. + +Dad smiled and said they were a strong family. He said they would go home and have some pizza and ice cream. He said they would take care of Mom and help her get better. + +Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They felt relieved and glad. They knew Mom would be okay. They knew they had each other. They knew they were a strong family. +Tom and Ann were friends who liked to play in the field. They saw many flowers that were bloom and many cows that were moo. They liked to pick the flowers and give them to each other. + +One day, they saw a big house on the hill. It was the house of Mr. Rich, who was very wealthy. He had many things that Tom and Ann did not have, like toys and clothes and cars. + +"Let's go and see his house," Tom said. "Maybe he will give us some of his things." + +Ann was afraid. She said, "No, Tom. We should not go. Mr. Rich does not like children. He is mean and angry. He will yell at us and chase us away." + +But Tom did not listen. He said, "Don't be a baby, Ann. Come on, it will be fun. We can run fast if he sees us." + +So Tom and Ann went to the house. They climbed over the fence and walked on the grass. They looked at the windows and the doors. They saw many shiny things inside. + +But they did not see Mr. Rich. He was hiding behind a tree. He saw them and he was very mad. He grabbed a stick and ran after them. He shouted, "Get off my land, you little thieves! I will teach you a lesson!" + +Tom and Ann were scared. They dropped the flowers and ran back to the fence. But Mr. Rich was faster. He caught Tom by the hair and hit him with the stick. He made him cry and bleed. + +Ann got away and ran to the field. She looked for help. She saw a cow and said, "Please, cow, help me. Mr. Rich is hurting Tom. He is very bad." + +But the cow did not help. The cow said, "Moo." The cow did not care about Tom and Ann. The cow only cared about the grass. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the backyard. They have a big swing and a slide. They also have a sandbox and a ball. + +One day, Sara and Ben receive a surprise from their mom. She gives them a box with a ribbon. They open the box and see a new toy. It is a kite. It has bright colors and a long tail. + +"Wow, a kite!" Sara says. "Thank you, mom!" + +"Can we fly it now?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is windy today," mom says. + +Sara and Ben run to the backyard with their kite. They find a clear spot and try to make the kite fly. They take turns holding the string and running. The kite goes up and down in the air. They laugh and cheer. + +But then, something bad happens. The kite gets stuck in a tree. Sara and Ben can't reach it. They pull and tug, but the string breaks. The kite stays in the tree. + +"Oh no, our kite!" Sara cries. + +"It's not fair!" Ben says. + +They feel sad and angry. They go back to the house. Mom sees their faces and hugs them. + +"I'm sorry, sweeties. Sometimes things go wrong. But don't be bitter. You still have each other and your other toys. Maybe we can get another kite someday," mom says. + +Sara and Ben nod. They know mom is right. They still love their backyard and their mom. They decide to play with their ball instead. They smile and have fun. They forget about the kite. +Lily liked to ride her bike. She had a pink bike with a bell and a basket. She rode her bike every day with her mom and dad. They went to the park, the store, and the library. + +One day, Lily saw something unusual in her basket. It was a piece of toast. She did not know how it got there. She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know either. They said maybe a bird or a squirrel put it there. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to find out who gave her the toast. She decided to ride her bike again and look for clues. She rode around the park, the store, and the library. She saw many birds and squirrels, but none of them had toast. + +Then she saw a boy. He had a blue bike with a horn and a backpack. He also had a piece of toast in his hand. He smiled at Lily and said hello. He said his name was Ben and he liked toast. He said he gave Lily the toast because he wanted to be her friend. + +Lily smiled back. She said her name was Lily and she liked toast too. She said she wanted to be his friend as well. She thanked him for the toast and asked him if he wanted to ride bikes with her. He said yes and they rode together to the park. They had fun and shared their toast. They became good friends and rode their bikes every day. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, swing and slide. They saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. The truck said "mail" on the side. + +"What is mail?" Lila asked Ben. + +"Mail is when you send something to someone else. Like a letter or a present. You put it in a box and the truck takes it away," Ben said. + +"Who do you send mail to?" Lila asked. + +"You can send mail to anyone you want. Like your grandma or your friend. You write their name and address on the box and the truck finds them," Ben said. + +Lila thought for a moment. She wanted to send mail to someone. She saw a pretty flower on the ground. She picked it up and put it in a box. She wrote "Mom" on the box. She gave it to the truck driver. + +"Can you send this to my mom?" she asked. + +The truck driver looked at the box. He was confused. He did not see an address. He did not know where Lila's mom was. He did not know what to do. + +"Where does your mom live?" he asked Lila. + +"She lives in our house. It's over there," Lila said, pointing to a nearby street. + +The truck driver smiled. He understood. He took the box and drove to Lila's house. He knocked on the door. Lila's mom opened it. She saw the box. She was surprised. + +"Who is this from?" she asked. + +The truck driver handed her the box. He said, "It's from your daughter. She sent you mail." + +Lila's mom opened the box. She saw the flower. She was happy. She thanked the truck driver. She called Lila on the phone. + +"Hi, Lila. I got your mail. It's a beautiful flower. Thank you so much. I love you," she said. + +Lila heard her mom's voice. She was happy too. She said, "You're welcome, Mom. I love you too. I wanted to send you something nice. I hope you like it." + +Lila's mom said, "I do. It's the best sight ever. You made my day." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for amazing things. They had a backpack with some supplies: a map, a flashlight, a snack, and a toy camera. + +"Let's go to the big hill," Ben said. "Maybe we can find a monster there." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. Monsters can be scary." + +They climbed the hill and looked around. They saw trees, flowers, birds, and bugs. But no monster. + +"Maybe the monster is hiding," Ben said. He took out the flashlight and turned it on. He shone it under a big rock. + +"Look, Lily, I found it!" he shouted. + +Lily ran over and looked. Under the rock, there was a small, furry creature with big eyes and a long tail. It looked at them and made a soft noise. + +"Wow, it's so cute!" Lily said. "Can we keep it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it has a family. Maybe it's hungry." + +He took out the snack and broke it in half. He gave one piece to Lily and one to the creature. The creature sniffed it and then ate it. It made a happy noise and licked Ben's hand. + +"See, it likes us," Lily said. "Can we take a picture of it?" + +"OK," Ben said. He took out the toy camera and pretended to snap a photo. "Say cheese, monster!" + +The creature smiled and posed. Ben and Lily laughed. + +They decided to name the creature Fluffy. They played with it for a while, and then they said goodbye. They left some more supplies for it under the rock, in case it got hungry or cold. + +They went back to their parents, who were waiting for them at the park bench. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, we did," Ben said. "We found an amazing monster!" + +"Really?" their dad asked. "What did it look like?" + +Ben and Lily told them all about Fluffy. Their parents smiled and nodded. + +"That sounds like a wonderful adventure," their mom said. "Maybe you can visit Fluffy again someday." + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. Monsters can be scary." + +"But not Fluffy," Lily said. "Fluffy is our friend." +Anna liked to look at the birds in the pet shop. She saw many colors and shapes of birds. Some birds were big and loud, some were small and quiet. Anna wanted to have a bird as a friend. + +One day, Anna saw a new bird in the pet shop. It was yellow and green, with a long tail and a red beak. It looked sad and scared in a small birdcage. Anna felt sorry for the bird. She asked the shopkeeper, "Why is that bird in a small cage?" + +The shopkeeper said, "That bird is not for sale. It is a wild bird. Someone found it in the park and brought it here. I don't know what to do with it. It doesn't like the cage or the other birds." + +Anna thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "Can I rescue the bird? Can I take it home and let it fly free?" + +The shopkeeper looked at Anna. He was surprised by her question. He said, "Are you sure? The bird might not like your home either. It might fly away or make a mess. Do you have a big garden or a window?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "I have a big garden and a window. I can give the bird food and water and a place to rest. I can be its friend. Please, let me rescue the bird." + +The shopkeeper smiled. He said, "You are a kind and brave girl. You can rescue the bird. But you have to be careful and gentle. The bird is not used to people. It might be scared or angry. And you have to promise me one thing." + +Anna said, "What is it?" + +The shopkeeper said, "You have to promise me that you will not put the bird in a cage again. The bird belongs to the sky, not to a cage. Do you promise?" + +Anna said, "I promise. I will never put the bird in a cage. I will let it fly free." + +The shopkeeper gave Anna the birdcage with the bird inside. He said, "Here you go. Good luck with your new friend. And don't forget your promise." + +Anna thanked the shopkeeper and ran home with the birdcage. She was happy and excited. She wanted to show the bird her garden and her window. She wanted to hear the bird sing and see it fly. + +But when she got home, she saw her nosy brother waiting for her. He saw the birdcage and said, "What is that? A bird? Where did you get it? Can I see it? Can I play with it?" + +Anna said, "No, you can't. This is my bird. I rescued it from the pet shop. It is a wild bird. It doesn't like cages or people. I have to let it fly free." + +Her brother said, "But I want to see it. I want to touch it. I want to hear it. Let me have it. Give it to me." + +He tried to grab the birdcage from Anna. Anna held it tight. She said, "No, you can't. Leave me alone. Go away." + +They started to fight over the birdcage. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The birdcage shook and rattled. The bird was scared and angry. It squawked and bit and flapped its wings. + +Suddenly, the birdcage door opened. The bird flew out of the cage. It flew around the room. It flew past Anna and her brother. It flew to the window. It saw the sky. It flew to the sky. + +Anna and her brother stopped fighting. They looked at the window. They saw the bird flying away. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "Bye, bird. We hope you are happy. We hope you find your home." + +The bird heard them. It looked back at them. It gave a loud and happy chirp. It thanked them for rescuing it. It said, "Bye, friends. I am happy. I found my home." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they find a big box of cheese in the kitchen. They want to eat some cheese. + +"Let's share the cheese," Tom says. He takes a knife and cuts the cheese into two pieces. He gives one piece to Mia and keeps one piece for himself. + +But Mia is not happy. She looks at the cheese and says, "No, this is not fair. Your piece is bigger than mine. I want more cheese." + +Tom disagrees. He says, "No, this is fair. The pieces are the same. You have enough cheese." + +They start to argue. They raise their voices and make angry faces. They do not want to share the cheese. + +Mom hears them and comes to the kitchen. She sees the cheese and the blocks and the dolls. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over cheese?" + +Tom and Mia tell Mom their problem. Mom listens and says, "I have an idea. Why don't we make some cheese sandwiches? We can use the bread and the butter and the cheese. Then we can cut the sandwiches into four pieces. Each of you can have two pieces. That way, you will have the same amount of cheese and bread and butter. And you can also have some colorful fruits for dessert. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Mia think about Mom's idea. They nod and say, "That sounds good. We like cheese sandwiches. And we like colorful fruits. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom smiles and says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you agree. Now, let's make some cheese sandwiches together. And after we eat, you can play with your blocks and dolls again. But remember, sharing is caring. And friends don't fight over cheese." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it got lost. + +One day, they saw a big machine near the park. It was making loud noises and moving dirt. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see what the machine was doing. They left their ball and ran to the machine. + +"Look, Ben, it has a big arm and a big bucket!" Lily said. + +"Wow, it can dig a big hole!" Ben said. + +They watched the machine for a while. They saw the man who was driving the machine. He wore a yellow hat and a blue shirt. He looked at Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"Hello, kids, do you like my machine?" he asked. + +"Yes, it's very unusual!" Lily said. + +"What are you doing with it?" Ben asked. + +"I'm digging a hole for a new fountain. It will have water and lights and flowers. Do you want to see?" he said. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. + +The man showed them a picture of the fountain. It looked very pretty. Lily and Ben liked it. + +"Thank you for showing us your machine and your picture!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, kids. But be careful, don't get too close to the machine. It can be dangerous. And don't forget your ball!" he said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said goodbye to the man and his machine. They rushed back to their ball. They were happy to play with their ball and to see something new. They hoped to see the fountain when it was finished. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. One day, they see a big pile of ice near the road. They want to touch it and see what it is. + +"Look, Mia, ice!" Tim says. He runs to the pile and puts his hand on it. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cries. He pulls his hand back. It is red and cold. "Ice is terrible! It hurts!" + +Mia runs to Tim and hugs him. She is scared. She does not want to touch the ice. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. Are you okay?" Mia asks. + +Tim nods. He is still sad. He shows Mia his hand. She blows on it and rubs it gently. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend," Tim says. + +Mia smiles. She has an idea. She sees a small snowball on the ground. She picks it up and throws it at the ice pile. + +"Take that, ice!" Mia says. "You are mean and bad!" + +Tim laughs. He sees another snowball. He picks it up and throws it at the ice pile too. + +"Ha, ha, ha! We showed the ice!" Tim says. + +Mia and Tim keep throwing snowballs at the ice pile. They have fun. They forget about the pain. They are happy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bunch of grapes on a bench. They are blue and shiny. + +"Wow, look at these grapes!" Lila says. "They look yummy!" + +"Let's share them!" Ben says. He picks one and puts it in his mouth. He makes a sour face. "Blech! They are not yummy! They are bitter!" + +Lila laughs. She picks one and tries it. She also makes a sour face. "You are right! They are bitter! Why are they bitter?" + +"Maybe they are not ripe yet," Ben says. "Or maybe they are a different kind of grapes." + +They look at the bunch of grapes. They see a tag on it. It says: "Blueberries. Do not eat. For science project." + +Lila and Ben gasp. They spit out the grapes. They are not grapes. They are blueberries. But they are not sweet blueberries. They are sour blueberries. + +"Oops!" Lila says. "We ate the wrong thing!" + +They hear a voice behind them. It is Sam, a boy from their class. He is holding a camera. He has a big smile on his face. + +"Gotcha!" Sam says. "I saw you take my blueberries. I wanted to see your faces when you tasted them. They are not for eating. They are for my science project. I put vinegar on them to make them sour. It was a prank!" + +Lila and Ben feel angry. They do not like Sam's prank. They do not like being teased. They do not like sour blueberries. + +"That was not nice, Sam!" Lila says. "That was mean!" + +"Yeah, that was mean!" Ben says. "You should not tease us like that!" + +Sam shrugs. He does not care. He thinks it is funny. He shows them the pictures he took of their sour faces. He laughs. + +Lila and Ben look at each other. They have an idea. They grab the bunch of blueberries. They throw them at Sam. They hit him in the face, in the hair, in the shirt. They make him wet and sticky. + +"Hey, stop that!" Sam says. "That's my science project!" + +Lila and Ben do not stop. They keep throwing blueberries at Sam. They make him run away. They laugh. + +"That's what you get for teasing us, Sam!" Lila says. + +"Yeah, that's what you get!" Ben says. + +They high-five each other. They are happy. They do not like sour blueberries. But they like sweet revenge. +Tom and Lily were on a big yacht with their dad. He was an important man who worked with other important men. He had to talk to them on his phone a lot.

It is fish and rice and seaweed. Do you want to try it?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious and hungry. Their dad brought a plate of sushi and some chopsticks. He showed them how to use them. He said, "You can dip the sushi in this sauce. It is called soy sauce. It is salty and good. But be careful, this green stuff is called wasabi. It is very spicy and hot. It can make your nose hurt." + +Tom and Lily picked up a piece of sushi each. They dipped it in the soy sauce and put it in their mouths. They chewed and smiled. It was soft and tasty. They liked it. They took another piece. + +But then, Tom saw the green stuff. He thought it was avocado. He liked avocado. He took a big bite of it. He did not dip it in the soy sauce. He did not know it was wasabi. + +As soon as he tasted it, he felt a fire in his mouth. He spit it out. He cried, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! It hurts!" He ran to the sink and drank some water. He did not like it. He did not like it at all. + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Are you okay, Tom? That was not avocado. That was wasabi. It is very spicy and hot. You have to be careful. Here, have some juice. It will make you feel better." + +Tom drank some juice. He felt a little better. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will not eat wasabi again. I will only eat sushi and soy sauce. They are yummy." + +Lily hugged Tom. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a brave brother. I will not eat wasabi either. I will only eat sushi and soy sauce too. They are yummy." + +Their dad came back. He saw them hug. He smiled. He said, "I am sorry, Tom. I should have warned you about the wasabi. Are you feeling better now?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, dad. I am feeling better. I like sushi. But I do not like wasabi. It is too spicy and hot." + +Their dad said, "I understand, Tom. Sushi is good. But wasabi is not for everyone. You do not have to eat it. You can eat what you like. You are my important son. And you, Lily, you are my important daughter. I love you both very much." + +Tom and Lily said, "We love you too, dad. You are our important dad. And this is our important yacht. We are happy here." +Sara and Ben like to watch the big cars on the road. They sit on the grass and point at the cars that go fast or make loud noises. Sara likes the red cars and Ben likes the blue cars. They are competitive and try to see who can find more cars of their favorite color. + +One day, they see a big truck with a horn on its roof. The truck is yellow and has many pictures of animals on its sides. Sara and Ben are curious and want to see the animals. They run after the truck and try to catch up with it. + +"Look, Sara, there is a lion!" Ben says, pointing at the picture of a big cat with a mane. + +"And there is a zebra!" Sara says, pointing at the picture of a striped horse. + +They are so busy looking at the pictures that they do not hear the horn of the truck. The truck driver sees them and honks his horn to warn them. The horn is very loud and makes Sara and Ben jump. They are scared and stop running. + +"Wow, that was a loud horn!" Sara says, holding her ears. + +"Too loud!" Ben says, nodding. + +They decide to go back to the grass and watch the cars from a safe distance. They learn that it is not good to run after trucks with horns. They also learn that they can have fun watching the cars without being competitive. They share their snacks and talk about the animals they saw. They are happy and forget about the horn. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They play a game. They put the cards face down on the floor. They take turns to pick two cards and turn them over. If the cards match, they keep them. If not, they put them back. + +One day, Sara sees a card with a red bird. She likes the red bird. She wants to keep it. She turns over another card. It is a blue fish. She puts them back. But she does not forget where the red bird is. She thinks of a plan. + +She says to Ben, "I need to go to the bathroom. You wait here." She goes to the bathroom. But she does not use the bathroom.

Then she comes back to the room. + +She says to Ben, "I am back. Let's play." Ben nods. He picks two cards. They are a yellow duck and a green frog. He puts them back. Sara picks two cards. They are a pink pig and a purple cat. She puts them back. They play for a while. But Sara does not find another red bird. She feels bad. She knows she cheated. + +She says to Ben, "I have something to tell you. I did a bad thing. I took a card and hid it in my pocket. It was a red bird. I am sorry. I will give it back to you." She takes out the card and shows it to Ben. + +Ben looks at the card. He looks at Sara. He is sad. He says, "Why did you do that? That is not fair. That is not fun. You broke the rule. You hurt my feelings. You are not a good sister." + +Sara feels worse. She says, "I know. I was wrong. I was selfish. I wanted the red bird. But I did not think of you. I did not think of the game. I did not think of the truth. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I will not do it again. I will be a good sister." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "I forgive you. But you have to promise me. You have to play fair. You have to share. You have to be honest. You have to be kind. That is how we can have fun. That is how we can be happy. That is how we can be friends." + +Sara nods. She says, "I promise. I will play fair. I will share. I will be honest. I will be kind. I love you, Ben. You are my brother. You are my friend." + +They hug. They smile.

He runs to the red box. He puts his hand in the hole. He feels something soft and furry. He pulls it out. It is a cat! + +The cat is angry. It does not like to be in the mail. It scratches Tim's hand. It hisses and spits. Tim cries out, "Ow, ow, ow! The mail is dangerous! Help, Sam, help!" + +Sam runs to Tim. He takes the cat from his hand. He puts it back in the mail. He says, "Sorry, cat, sorry. We did not mean to hurt you. Please, do not be mad." He hugs Tim. He says, "Are you okay, Tim? Let me see your hand. You have a boo-boo. Come on, let's go home. Mom will make it better." + +Tim and Sam go home. They tell Mom what happened. Mom cleans Tim's hand. She puts a band-aid on it. She says, "Tim, you should listen to Sam. He is your big brother. He knows what is right and wrong. The mail is not a toy. It is for other people. You should not touch it. It can be dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Tim nods. He says, "Yes, Mom, I understand. I am sorry. I will not touch the mail again. I will listen to Sam. He is a good brother. He helped me. He is not mad at me." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good, Tim.
