"Let's take some and buy candy!" + +"No, Lily, that's not nice," Ben said. "The coins are not ours. People throw them to make a wish. We should not take their wishes away." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the fountain and reached for a coin. Ben tried to stop her, but it was too late. Lily slipped and fell into the water. She got wet and cold and scared. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. "I want to get out!" + +Ben ran to get help. He saw a man who worked in the park. He was busy cleaning the grass and the flowers. Ben told him what happened. The man quickly went to the fountain and pulled Lily out. He gave her a towel and a hug. + +"Are you okay, little girl?" the man asked. + +"Yes, thank you," Lily said. She was sorry and ashamed. She gave the coin back to the man. "I'm sorry, I took your coin. I wanted to buy candy, but I was wrong. I should not take what is not mine." + +The man smiled and said, "That's okay, little girl. I'm glad you are safe. You learned a good lesson today. The coin is not mine, either. It belongs to the fountain and the people who wish. You can make a wish, too, if you want. But remember, the best wishes are not for candy, but for kindness and love." + +Lily nodded and said, "I wish I could be a good sister to Ben. He is always nice to me. And I wish you could have a good day, too. You are very kind and helpful." + +The man thanked her and said, "That's a very good wish, little girl. I hope it comes true. Now, go and play with your brother. And be careful near the water." + +Lily and Ben hugged the man and said goodbye. They went to play in the swings and the slides. They had fun and they were happy. They did not need candy or coins. They had each other and they had learned a valuable lesson. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to fish. They had a rod each and a bucket of worms. They went to the lake with their dad, who let them choose a spot to sit. Ben picked a shady place under a tree, but Sam wanted to be near the water. + +"Come on, Ben, it's more fun here!" Sam said. "You can see the fish and hear them splash." + +"No, thank you," Ben said. "I like it here. It's cool and quiet. And I can see the birds and the clouds." + +Sam shrugged and threw his line into the lake. He watched it carefully, hoping for a bite. Ben did the same, but he also looked around and enjoyed the view. + +Soon, Sam felt a tug on his rod. He was alert and pulled hard. He saw a big fish jump out of the water, shiny and silver. He was very happy and shouted, "I got one, I got one!" + +Ben heard him and smiled. He was happy for his brother, but he also wished he could catch a fish too. He checked his line, but it was still. He waited patiently, hoping for a chance. + +Then, he heard a rustle behind him. He turned and saw a big, furry animal with sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear, and it looked hungry. It had smelled the worms and wanted to eat them. Ben was scared and screamed, "Help, help, a bear!" + +Sam heard him and looked up. He saw the bear and dropped his rod. He was scared too and ran to his dad, who was nearby. He shouted, "Dad, dad, a bear!" + +Dad heard them and saw the bear. He was brave and grabbed a stick. He yelled, "Go away, bear, leave us alone!" + +The bear heard him and saw the stick. It was not brave and ran away, back to the woods. It did not want to fight. + +Ben, Sam, and Dad were safe and relieved. They hugged each other and thanked each other. They picked up their rods and their bucket of worms. They decided to leave the lake and go home. + +They had a big adventure, but they also learned a lesson. They learned to be alert and careful when they fish. And they learned to stick together and help each other. They were happy and proud to be a family. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to joke and play. One day, they see a big cake on the table. It smells good. They want to eat it. + +"Let's take a bite," Tom says. "No one will know." + +"But Mom said it is for Dad's birthday," Sam says. "She will be angry if we eat it." + +Tom laughs. "It is a joke," he says. "We will only eat a little bit. Come on, it will be fun." + +Sam is troubled. He likes cake, but he does not want to make Mom angry. He does not know what to do. + +Tom takes a fork and cuts a piece of cake. He puts it in his mouth. He smiles. "Mmm, it is yummy," he says. "Here, have some." + +He gives the fork to Sam. Sam looks at the cake. He looks at Tom. He looks at the door. He is scared. + +Suddenly, Mom comes in. She sees the cake. She sees Tom and Sam. She is very angry. + +"Who ate the cake?" she asks. "Who made this mess?" + +Tom and Sam are quiet. They do not say anything. + +Mom points at them. "You two are in big trouble," she says. "You ruined Dad's birthday cake. You were very naughty. You have to say sorry and help me make a new cake. And no reward for you. No TV, no toys, no candy. Go to your room now." + +Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They say sorry. They go to their room. They wish they did not eat the cake. They wish they did not joke. They learn their lesson. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to splash in the puddles and make mud pies. They did not see the big cloud in the sky. + +"Look, Tom, I made a cake for you!" Lily said, holding a lump of mud. + +"Thank you, Lily, it looks yummy!" Tom said, pretending to eat it. + +But then they heard a loud boom. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They felt raindrops on their heads. It was raining. + +"Quick, Lily, let's go inside!" Tom said, grabbing her hand. + +They ran to the house, but they were too late. They were soaked. Their clothes, their shoes, their hair, everything was wet. They shivered and sneezed. + +"Mommy, mommy, we're wet!" they cried, as they entered the door. + +Mommy saw them and frowned. She was not happy. She took them to the bathroom and dried them with a towel. She gave them clean clothes and warm socks. She told them to go to their room and rest. + +"Mommy, can we have a blanket?" Lily asked, feeling cold. + +"Of course, my loves, here you go," Mommy said, giving them a soft blanket. + +They snuggled under the blanket and felt cozy. They looked out the window and saw the rain pouring down. It was dark and scary. + +"Tom, I don't like the rain," Lily said, holding his hand. + +"Me neither, Lily, but don't worry, it will stop soon," Tom said, hugging her. + +They closed their eyes and listened to Mommy's voice. She was reading them a story from a book. It was a happy story, with fairies and flowers and sunshine. They smiled and fell asleep. They dreamed of playing in the garden again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and look for worms and bugs. They had a bucket and a shovel each, and they took turns to fill the bucket with soil. + +"Look, I found a big worm!" Lily said, holding it up for Tom to see. + +"Wow, let me see!" Tom said, reaching for the worm. + +But Lily did not want to share. She pulled the worm away and put it in her bucket. + +"No, it's mine!" she said. + +Tom was angry. He wanted to see the worm too. He grabbed Lily's bucket and tried to take it from her. + +"Give it back!" Lily shouted, holding on to the bucket. + +They both pulled and tugged, but neither of them would let go. The bucket tipped over and the soil and the worm spilled on the ground. + +"Oh no!" they both said. + +They looked at the mess they had made. The worm was wriggling on the grass, trying to get back to the soil. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I should have asked you nicely." + +"Sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I should have shared with you." + +They picked up the worm and put it back in the soil. They hoped it was not hurt. + +"Bye, worm," they said. "Thank you for letting us see you." + +They felt grateful for the worm and for each other. They hugged and made up. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was their dad, coming home from work. He was wearing a uniform and boots. He was a soldier, and he had been away for a long time. + +"Daddy!" Tom and Lily cried, running to him. + +He lifted them up and hugged them. He was happy to see them. + +"Hello, my little soldiers," he said. "Did you miss me?" + +"Yes, Daddy, we missed you so much!" they said. + +They told him about the worm and the soil and the bucket. He laughed and listened. + +"I'm proud of you," he said. "You learned to share and to say sorry. That's very brave." + +He put them down and held their hands. + +"Come on, let's go inside and see Mommy," he said. + +They marched with him, following his steps. They felt grateful for their dad and for their family. They loved him very much. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Sometimes they pretended they were in a big city, or a forest, or a castle. + +One day, they decided to play space. They put a blanket over their bed and said it was a rocket. They had helmets and backpacks and a flashlight. They lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. They said it was the sky with many stars. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, Anna. Let's go to the moon!" Ben said. + +They counted down from ten to one and then made a loud noise. They said they were flying very fast. They shook the bed and the blanket. They pretended they saw planets and comets and aliens. + +They reached the moon and got out of the rocket. They walked slowly and jumped high. They said the moon was made of cheese and rocks. They found a flag and planted it on the ground. + +"We did it, Anna! We are the first kids on the moon!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben! We are the best astronauts ever!" Anna said. + +They hugged and smiled. They were very happy and proud. They lay on the moon and looked at the earth. It was a big blue ball. They saw their home and their mom and dad. They waved and said hello. + +They heard a gentle voice from the rocket. It was their mom. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time for dinner. Come back to earth, please." + +They got up and ran to the rocket. They said goodbye to the moon and the stars. They flew back to their room and took off their helmets and backpacks. They folded the blanket and put away their toys. + +They ran to the kitchen and hugged their mom. They told her about their adventure. She smiled and kissed them. She said they were very brave and creative. She said she was proud of them. + +They ate their dinner and thanked their mom. They said they loved her. They said they had a lot of fun. They said they wanted to play space again tomorrow. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big gray bag under a tree. They ran to the bag and opened it. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Lily said. She took out a doll and a ball. "This is my doll. Her name is Anna. What is your toy's name?" + +Ben picked up a car and a truck. "This is my car. His name is Max. And this is my truck. His name is Sam." He made the car and the truck go vroom vroom on the grass. + +They played with the toys for a long time. They did not see the man who was hiding behind the tree. He was watching them. He was not a nice man. He was a bad man. He wanted the toys back. He had stolen them from other children. + +He waited until Lily and Ben were tired and thirsty. Then he came out from behind the tree. He had a mean face and a loud voice. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my bag and my toys!" he shouted. He grabbed the bag and threw the toys inside. He did not care if he broke them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They cried and ran away. They did not have any toys to play with. They did not have any fun. They had a bad day. +Lily loves to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she helps Mommy in the kitchen. Mommy has a modern kitchen with many shiny things. Lily likes to touch them and make noises. + +One day, Lily and Mommy are making a cake. Lily sings a song about the cake. She sings, "Cake, cake, yummy, yummy, cake. I want to eat the cake. Cake, cake, sweet, sweet, cake. I love to make the cake." Mommy smiles and sings with her. + +But then, Lily sees a big red button on the wall. She wonders what it does. She stops singing and reaches for the button. Mommy says, "No, Lily, don't touch that!" But it is too late. Lily pushes the button. + +The button is for the alarm. A loud noise fills the kitchen. Lily is scared. She cries. Mommy hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lily, it's just an alarm. We have to turn it off." Mommy finds the switch and turns off the alarm. The noise stops. + +Lily is still crying. Mommy says, "I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to yell at you. You were just curious. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. Some things are not for playing. They can be dangerous." Lily nods and says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I won't touch the button again." Mommy says, "I love you, Lily. You are a good girl. And you have a beautiful voice. Do you want to sing with me again?" Lily says, "Yes, Mommy. I love you, too. And I love to sing." They hug and sing the song about the cake. They are happy. +Anna loved books. She liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She had many books on her bookshelf in her room. Sometimes she took them out and read them on her bed. + +One day, Anna was bored. She wanted to play with something new. She saw a book on her bookshelf that she had never seen before. It was big and shiny. She wanted to see what was inside. She pulled the book from the shelf and opened it. + +But the book was not a book. It was a box. And inside the box, there were many papers. They had words and numbers and drawings on them. Anna did not know what they were. She thought they were boring. She decided to tear them and make them into something fun. + +She tore the papers into small pieces and threw them in the air. She laughed as they fell like snow. She tore more and more papers until the box was empty. She made a big mess on the floor. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She came into the room and saw the papers everywhere. She was angry. She picked up the box and looked at it. It said "Dad's tax documents". She gasped. + +"Anna, these papers are very important. They belong to dad. He needs them for his work. You should not tear them. You should not touch them. You are in big trouble, young lady," her mom said. + +Anna felt bad. She did not know the papers were important. She did not want to make mom and dad angry. She wanted to say sorry. But she was too scared. She was quiet. She wished she had not torn the papers. She wished she had read a book instead. +Lily was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to pretend that her doll was a fairy who could fly and do magic. She made a crown of yellow flowers for her doll and put it on her head. + +"Hello, fairy," Lily said to her doll. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, Lily," the doll said in Lily's voice. "You are my best friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged her doll. She did not see the bee that was buzzing near the flowers. The bee was looking for nectar, but it saw the yellow crown on the doll's head. It thought it was a flower too. It flew closer and landed on the crown. + +"Ouch!" Lily cried. She felt a sharp pain on her hand. She dropped her doll and looked at her hand. There was a red spot where the bee had stung her. It hurt a lot. + +The bee flew away, but Lily did not see it. She thought that the doll had pinched her. She was angry and sad. She picked up her doll and threw it on the ground. + +"Bad fairy!" Lily shouted. "Why did you pinch me? I don't like you anymore!" + +The doll did not say anything. It lay on the grass with its yellow crown. Lily ran to the house to find her mom. She wanted her mom to kiss her hand and make it better. She did not want to play with the doll anymore. She did not know that the doll was not a bad fairy, but a good friend. +Lily wanted to mail a gift to her grandma. She made a picture of a flower with crayons and paper. She was very proud of her picture. She asked her mom to help her mail it. + +"Mom, can we mail this to grandma?" Lily said, holding up her picture. + +"Sure, honey, that's very sweet of you. But we need to put it in an envelope first, so it doesn't get dirty or torn," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. Do we have an envelope?" Lily said. + +"Yes, we do. But we also need something else. Do you see that glass jar on the table?" Mom said, pointing to a jar filled with colorful beads. + +"Yes, Mom. What is it?" Lily said. + +"It's a gift for grandma, too. I made her a necklace with the beads. But the glass jar is very delicate. It can break easily. We need to wrap it with some paper and tape, so it doesn't break in the mail," Mom said. + +"Wow, Mom. That's a pretty necklace. Can I help you wrap it?" Lily said. + +"Of course, honey. But be very careful with the glass jar. We don't want it to break and hurt us or grandma," Mom said. + +Lily and Mom wrapped the glass jar with paper and tape. They put it and the picture in a big envelope. They wrote grandma's name and address on it. They went to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. + +"Bye, bye, gift. Have a safe trip to grandma," Lily said, waving to the envelope. + +"I'm sure grandma will love your gift, Lily. You are very thoughtful and creative," Mom said, hugging Lily. + +They went back home, feeling happy and excited. They hoped grandma would get their gift soon and like it very much. +Ben and Mia like to watch films on the big TV. They have many films to choose from. Some are funny, some are scary, some are sad. Ben likes scary films, but Mia does not. She likes funny films. + +One day, they find a new film in the box. It has a picture of a big dinosaur on the cover. Ben wants to watch it. He thinks it will be scary and exciting. He puts the film in the slot and presses the button. + +"Are you sure you want to watch this?" Mia asks. She is scared of dinosaurs. She thinks they will roar and bite and chase them. + +"Don't be silly, Mia. It's just a film. It's not real. Come on, it will be fun," Ben says. He sits on the couch and waits for the film to start. + +Mia is not sure. She sits next to Ben, but she is careful. She holds a pillow in front of her face. She thinks she can hide behind it if the dinosaur comes. + +The film starts. There is a loud roar. Ben and Mia see a big dinosaur on the screen. It has sharp teeth and claws. It looks angry. It runs towards a car with people inside. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. He is not scared. He thinks the dinosaur is cool. He wants to see what it will do. + +"Help, help!" Mia says. She is very scared. She thinks the dinosaur will eat the people. She does not think the film is fun. She wants to stop it. + +She grabs the remote and presses the button. The film stops. The screen goes black. Ben is mad. He wants to watch the film. + +"Hey, why did you do that?" Ben says. He looks at Mia. She is crying. She drops the pillow and hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I don't like this film. It's too scary for me. Can we watch something else?" Mia says. She looks at Ben with big eyes. She hopes he will understand. + +Ben sighs. He is not happy, but he loves his sister. He knows she is scared. He wants to make her feel better. + +"Okay, Mia. We can watch something else. How about a funny film? Do you like the one with the talking animals?" Ben says. He smiles at Mia. He takes the film out of the slot and puts it back in the box. + +"Yes, I like that one. Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Mia says. She smiles back at Ben. She wipes her tears and snuggles with him. + +They put the funny film in the slot and press the button. They laugh and enjoy the film. They are happy. They fit on the couch together. They forget about the scary dinosaur. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what was in the big box that mom and dad had brought home. + +"Can we open the box?" Sara asked Ben. + +"No, mom and dad said we have to wait until they come back. They said it is a surprise for us," Ben said. + +"But I want to see what is inside. Maybe it is something fun, like a new toy or a book or a game," Sara said. + +She went to the box and tried to lift the lid. It was heavy and locked with a key. + +"Stop, Sara, you can't do that. You have to listen to mom and dad. They will be mad if you open the box," Ben said. + +He ran to Sara and pulled her away from the box. + +Sara was sad and angry. She wanted to see the surprise. She thought of a way to open the box without the key. She remembered that she had a magic wand that grandma had given her for her birthday. She had never used it before, but she thought it might work. + +She sneaked to her room and got the magic wand. She came back to the living room and pointed it at the box. + +"Open, open, open!" she said. + +The magic wand made a bright flash and a loud noise. The box opened and something flew out of it. It was a big, colorful balloon. It floated in the air and bounced around the room. + +"Wow, look, Ben, it is a balloon. It is so pretty and fun. I did it, I opened the box with my magic wand," Sara said. + +She was happy and proud. She ran to the balloon and tried to catch it. + +Ben was shocked and scared. He did not know what to do. He thought that mom and dad would be very mad when they saw the box and the balloon. He also thought that the balloon might pop or fly away. + +"Sara, stop, you can't play with the balloon. You have to put it back in the box. You have to close the box. You have to hide the magic wand. You have to say sorry to mom and dad," Ben said. + +He tried to grab the balloon and the magic wand, but Sara did not let him. + +"No, Ben, I want to play with the balloon. It is my surprise. It is my magic. You can't take it from me," Sara said. + +She pushed Ben away and ran to the other side of the room. + +They started to fight and yell. They did not hear the door open and mom and dad come in. They did not see their faces when they saw the box and the balloon and the magic wand. They did not know what would happen next. +Anna liked to help her dad deliver the mail. She had a small bag with letters and cards that she gave to the people who lived on their street. Sometimes they smiled and said thank you, and sometimes they gave her a penny or a candy. + +One day, Anna and her dad came to a big house with a tall fence and a loud dog. The dog barked and jumped at the fence, and Anna was frightened. She did not want to go near the dog. + +"Dad, I'm scared of the dog," she said. "Can we skip this house?" + +Her dad shook his head. "No, Anna, we have to deliver the mail to everyone. The dog can't hurt you, he's behind the fence. See, I have a bone for him. Watch me." + +He took a bone from his pocket and threw it over the fence. The dog stopped barking and ran to get the bone. He wagged his tail and chewed the bone happily. + +"See, he's a good dog. He just wants to play," her dad said. "Now, can you give me the letter for this house?" + +Anna nodded and took out the letter from her bag. She handed it to her dad, who put it in the mailbox. Then he rang the bell and waited. + +A lady opened the door and smiled. She saw Anna and said, "Hello, little mail girl. What a nice helper you are. Here, this is for you." She gave Anna a shiny penny and a candy. + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, lady. Have a nice day." + +She put the penny and the candy in her pocket and followed her dad to the next house. She was not frightened of the dog anymore. She was proud of herself for helping her dad deliver the mail. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to try it, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Anna says. + +"No, it is too high and fast. I will fall and hurt myself." Ben says. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"Look, Ben, I have a sticker. It is shiny and pretty. If you go on the slide with me, I will give it to you. You will receive a sticker as a result of being brave." Anna says. + +Ben looks at the sticker. He likes shiny and pretty things. He wants the sticker, but he is still scared. + +"Are you sure it is safe?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I am sure. I will go first, and then you can follow me. I will wait for you at the bottom and cheer for you. You can do it, Ben, you are brave." Anna says. + +Anna climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She smiles at Ben and waves. Then she slides down, fast and smooth. She lands on the ground and laughs. + +"Wow, that was fun! Come on, Ben, your turn!" Anna shouts. + +Ben looks at the slide. He sees Anna is happy and not hurt. He wants to be brave like her. He takes a deep breath and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide and holds the sides. He looks at Anna and nods. Then he slides down, fast and smooth. He lands on the ground and smiles. + +"Yay, Ben, you did it! You are brave!" Anna cheers. + +She runs to him and gives him a hug. She also gives him the sticker. Ben puts the sticker on his shirt and beams. + +"Thank you, Anna, you are a good friend. That was fun!" Ben says. + +They both laugh and hug. They are happy and proud. They have received a good result from being brave. They decide to go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun in the park. +Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide on the grass. They see a big hill with a lot of flowers. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and start to go up the hill. But the hill is very steep and the grass is very wet. Lila and Tom slip and fall on their backs. They slide down the hill very fast. They scream and laugh and try to stop. But they cannot stop. They slide all the way to the bottom of the hill. + +They land on a soft pile of leaves. They are not hurt, but they are very dirty and wet. They look at each other and giggle. They see a big tree with a lot of shade. They run to the tree and sit under it. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Lila says. + +"Yes, it was!" Tom says. "But we are very messy. We need to clean up." + +They look around and see a small pond. The water is clear and shiny. They see some fish and frogs and ducks. They decide to go to the pond and wash their faces and hands. + +They walk to the pond and splash some water on themselves. They feel cool and fresh. They see their reflections in the water. They smile and make funny faces. + +They hear a voice calling them. It is their mom. She has come to pick them up. + +"Lila! Tom! It is time to go home!" she says. + +They wave to their mom and run to her. She hugs them and kisses them. She sees their dirty and wet clothes. + +"What have you been doing?" she asks. + +"We have been sliding on the hill and playing in the pond!" they say. + +They tell her their story. She listens and smiles. She is happy that they had fun. + +She takes them to the car and drives them home. She gives them a bath and a snack. She reads them a story and tucks them in bed. + +They close their eyes and dream of the big hill, the big tree, and the big pond. They are happy and sleepy. They say good night to each other. + +"Good night, Lila!" Tom says. + +"Good night, Tom!" Lila says. + +They fall asleep. The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the office. They like to pretend they are workers. They have papers, pens and a big file. The file has many papers inside. They are very important. + +"Anna, I need the paper with the red star. Can you find it for me?" Ben asks. + +Anna opens the file and searches for the paper. She looks at every paper. She does not see the red star. + +"Ben, I cannot find it. Are you sure it is in the file?" Anna says. + +Ben thinks hard. He remembers something. + +"Oh, I know. I gave it to Mom. She said it was very pretty. She put it on the fridge. Come, let's go and see." Ben says. + +Anna and Ben run to the kitchen. They see the paper with the red star on the fridge. It has a magnet on it. They are happy. + +"Look, there it is. Mom likes it too." Anna says. + +"Yes, she does. And look, she also made us some cookies. They are on the table. They look yummy." Ben says. + +Anna and Ben smile. They take the paper and the cookies. They go back to the office. They eat the cookies and play some more. They have fun. +Anna liked to draw in her notebook. She had many colors and shapes to make her pictures. She drew flowers, animals, stars and rainbows. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and the rain was loud. Anna could not go out and play. She felt sad and bored. She did not want to draw in her notebook. + +Her mom saw her and gave her a hug. She said, "Why don't you draw something that makes you happy? You can use your imagination and pretend you are somewhere else. Maybe you can draw a sunny day or a fun place to visit." + +Anna thought about it. She liked her mom's idea. She felt a little urge to draw. She opened her notebook and picked a color. She started to draw a big yellow sun. Then she drew a blue sky and some white clouds. She smiled as she drew. + +She drew more things that made her happy. She drew a green park with a slide and a swing. She drew a red bike and a purple hat. She drew a brown dog and a pink cat. She drew herself and her mom holding hands. + +She showed her mom her picture. Her mom was very proud of her. She said, "What a beautiful picture, Anna! You are very creative and talented. You made a gloomy day into a happy day with your drawing." + +Anna felt happy and proud too. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love drawing in my notebook." She put her picture on the fridge and looked at it. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She did not mind the rain anymore. She had her notebook and her mom. She had everything she needed. +Lily loved to read novels. Novels were big books with many words and pictures. She liked to imagine she was in the stories with the characters. Sometimes she read novels with her mom or dad, and sometimes she read them by herself. + +One day, Lily found a purple novel in the library. She had never seen a purple novel before. She was curious and excited. She took the novel to the librarian and asked, "Can I borrow this novel, please?" + +The librarian smiled and said, "Of course, you can, Lily. But this is a special novel. It has two parts that you can separate. You can read one part by yourself, and you can give the other part to a friend. Then you can talk about the story together." + +Lily thought that was a great idea. She thanked the librarian and ran to find her best friend, Max. She showed him the purple novel and said, "Look, Max, I found a special novel. It has two parts that we can separate. Do you want to read it with me?" + +Max nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, I do. That sounds like fun. Which part do you want to read?" + +Lily looked at the novel and saw that one part had a picture of a dragon, and the other part had a picture of a princess. She liked both, but she decided to let Max choose first. She said, "You can choose, Max. I don't mind." + +Max smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I think I will choose the part with the dragon. I like dragons. They are big and strong and brave." + +Lily said, "Okay, Max. Then I will choose the part with the princess. I like princesses. They are beautiful and smart and kind." + +They separated the novel and hugged each other. They said, "See you later, Lily. See you later, Max." + +They went to their homes and started to read their parts of the novel. They wondered what would happen in the story and how the dragon and the princess would meet. They could not wait to talk to each other about the purple novel. They were happy and excited. They loved to read novels. +Lily and Max were adventurous kids. They liked to play pretend and make up stories. One day, they decided to perform a show for their mom and dad. They used a big box, some blankets and some toys to make a stage and costumes. + +Lily was a brave princess who lived in a castle. Max was a scary monster who wanted to take her away. He wore a mask and a cape and made loud noises. Lily had a sword and a crown and said, "You can't catch me, monster! I will fight you!" + +They acted out their story for their mom and dad, who watched and clapped. Sometimes, Lily and Max made funny faces or forgot their lines, but they kept going. They had a lot of fun. + +At the end of the show, Lily and Max bowed and said, "Thank you for watching our show! We hope you liked it!" Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We loved it! You are very talented and creative. You are our favorite performers!" + +Lily and Max smiled and felt proud. They liked to perform and make their parents happy. They wondered what story they would make up next. Maybe they would be pirates or astronauts or superheroes. They had many ideas and many adventures. +Lily and Max liked to pretend they were gifted spies. They had a secret base under the table, where they kept their spy tools. They had a walkie-talkie, a flashlight, a magnifying glass, and a notebook. + +One day, they heard a strange noise from the kitchen. It sounded like water dripping. They grabbed their spy tools and crept to the door. They peeked through the crack and saw a big leak under the sink. + +"Look, Max, a leak!" Lily whispered. "Maybe it's a clue!" + +"Or a trap!" Max whispered back. "We have to be careful!" + +They sneaked into the kitchen and crawled to the sink. They used their flashlight and magnifying glass to examine the leak. They saw a loose pipe and a puddle of water. + +"Maybe someone tried to sabotage our base!" Lily said. "We have to find out who!" + +"Or maybe it's just a broken pipe!" Max said. "We have to tell Mom!" + +They argued for a while, until they heard Mom coming. They quickly hid under the table and pretended they were not there. + +"Who left this mess in the kitchen?" Mom asked. "And why is there a leak under the sink?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other and giggled. They decided to tell Mom the truth and help her fix the leak. They also decided to keep pretending they were gifted spies, because it was fun. +Anna liked to wander around the house and see what she could find. She liked to open drawers and cupboards and look at the things inside. Sometimes she found toys, sometimes she found clothes, sometimes she found books. + +One day, she wandered into the bathroom and saw the bathtub. It was big and white and shiny. She wondered what it would be like to play in it. She climbed on the edge and looked inside. There was some water and some bubbles. She reached for the bubbles and slipped. She fell into the bathtub with a splash. + +She was wet and cold and scared. She started to cry. She wanted her mommy. She cried louder and louder. She hoped her mommy would hear her. + +Mommy was in the kitchen, making lunch. She heard Anna's cry and ran to the bathroom. She saw Anna in the bathtub, shivering and sobbing. She was worried. She quickly turned off the faucet and lifted Anna out of the bathtub. She wrapped her in a towel and hugged her. + +"Anna, what were you doing in the bathtub?" Mommy asked. + +"I wanted to play with the bubbles," Anna said. + +"Anna, you can't play in the bathtub by yourself. It's dangerous. You could drown or get hurt. You have to ask me first, okay?" Mommy said. + +"Okay, Mommy. I'm sorry. I won't do it again," Anna said. + +Mommy kissed Anna and dried her off. She took her to her room and changed her clothes. She gave her a toy and a kiss. She told her she loved her. + +Anna felt better. She hugged her toy and her mommy. She learned her lesson. She decided not to wander into the bathroom again. She decided to play in her room instead. +Sam and Tom were friends who liked to build things with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They wanted to build a big tower that could touch the sky. + +"Let's build the tower here," Sam said, pointing to a spot on the floor. + +"No, let's build it there," Tom said, pointing to another spot. + +They had different opinions on where to build the tower. They argued and shouted at each other. + +"Why do you always want to do things your way?" Sam asked. + +"Because my way is better than yours," Tom answered. + +They did not listen to each other. They did not share their blocks. They did not help each other. They tried to build their own towers, but they did not have enough blocks. They needed to use all the blocks to make a big tower. + +They looked at their towers. They were small and wobbly. They did not touch the sky. They did not look good. + +They felt sad and angry. They blamed each other for their bad towers. + +"You used the wrong blocks," Sam said. + +"You used the wrong spot," Tom said. + +They pushed each other's towers. The towers fell down and broke. The blocks scattered everywhere. They made a big mess. + +They heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What did you do?" she asked. + +They did not answer. They knew they were in trouble. They had to clean up the mess. They had to say sorry to each other. They had to learn to work together. + +They wished they had built one big tower instead of two small ones. They wished they had listened to each other's opinions. They wished they had shared their blocks. They wished they had helped each other. They wished they had been better friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball high in the air and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it to each other and said, "Catch!" + +One day, they saw a man with a big balloon. The balloon was yellow and had a long string. The man was selling the balloons to the children. Tom and Lily wanted a balloon too. They ran to the man and asked, "Can we have a balloon, please?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can have a balloon. But you have to pay me one coin for each balloon. Do you have any coins?" + +Tom and Lily looked in their pockets. They had no coins. They felt sad. They wanted a balloon so much. They looked at the big red ball. They had an idea. + +They said to the man, "We have no coins, but we have a big red ball. Can we trade the ball for two balloons?" + +The man looked at the ball. He liked the ball. He said, "OK, I will trade the ball for two balloons. But you have to be careful with the balloons. They can fly away if you let go of the string." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They gave the ball to the man and took two balloons. They thanked the man and ran away. They were so happy. They had two balloons. + +They bounced the balloons in the air and caught them. They bounced them to each other and said, "Catch!" They felt mighty. They had the best balloons in the park. They did not let go of the string. They did not want to lose their balloons. They played with their balloons until it was time to go home. They loved their balloons. +Lily and Ben like to play in the sand. They make castles and towers and bridges. They have fun with their buckets and shovels. But one day, a large dog comes to the sand. The dog is not mean, but he is very big and curious. He runs and jumps and digs in the sand. He knocks down Lily and Ben's castles and towers and bridges. He makes a big mess. + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They yell at the dog to go away. They hope he will listen and leave them alone. But the dog does not understand. He thinks they want to play with him. He wags his tail and barks. He tries to lick their faces and chase their buckets and shovels. + +Lily and Ben do not know what to do. They do not want to hurt the dog, but they do not want him to ruin their sand. They look around for help. They see a man walking on the path. He has a leash in his hand. He is looking for his dog. He sees the dog in the sand. He calls his name. The dog hears him and runs to him. He is happy to see his owner. The man is sorry for the trouble. He says he is sorry to Lily and Ben. He says he will take his dog away. He says he hopes they can forgive him and his dog. + +Lily and Ben are still sad and angry, but they are also relieved. They say they forgive him and his dog. They say they hope he will keep his dog on the leash next time. They say they hope they can play in the sand again. The man nods and smiles. He thanks them for being kind and understanding. He walks away with his dog. + +Lily and Ben look at their sand. It is all messed up. They sigh and shake their heads. But they do not give up. They pick up their buckets and shovels. They start to make new castles and towers and bridges. They have fun with their sand. They hope no more large dogs will come to their sand. They hope they can play in peace. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big squash. It is orange and round. They want to eat it. + +But the squash is not theirs. It belongs to Mr. Fox. He is mean and old. He does not like children. He grows the squash for himself. + +Tom and Mia do not know that. They pick the squash and run away. They are happy. They find a clean spot under a tree. They cut the squash and share it. It is sweet and juicy. + +Mr. Fox sees them. He is angry. He yawns and shows his sharp teeth. He runs after them. He wants his squash back. He wants to bite them. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the squash and try to run. But Mr. Fox is faster. He catches them and drags them to his den. He locks them up. He says he will eat them for dinner. + +Tom and Mia cry. They wish they did not take the squash. They wish they were home. They are sorry. But it is too late. Mr. Fox is hungry. He does not care. He eats them. The end. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy boats. They had a big tub of water that was their harbor. They would make waves and pretend to sail to different places. Sometimes they would include their stuffed animals as passengers or pirates. + +One day, Sam and Mia wanted to have a race with their boats. They lined them up at one end of the tub and counted to three. Then they pushed their boats as hard as they could. Sam's boat was red and fast. Mia's boat was blue and pretty. They both wanted to win. + +But something went wrong. Sam's boat hit Mia's boat and made it flip over. Mia's boat sank to the bottom of the tub. Mia was very sad and angry. She cried and yelled at Sam. She said he cheated and ruined her boat. + +Sam felt sorry and tried to help. He reached into the water and pulled out Mia's boat. He dried it with a towel and said he was sorry. He said it was an accident and he didn't mean to hurt her boat. He asked her to be patient and try again. + +Mia looked at her boat. It was still blue and pretty, but it had a dent on the side. She was still sad and angry, but she saw that Sam was sorry. She decided to be patient and try again. She said she forgave him and thanked him for helping. She said they could still be friends and have fun. + +Sam and Mia smiled and hugged. They put their boats back in the tub and started a new race. This time, they were more careful and gentle. They had fun and cheered for each other. They learned to be patient and include each other. They were happy and enjoyed their harbor. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to water the plants and watch them grow. She liked to smell the flowers and see the bees. She liked to pick the fruits and vegetables and eat them. They were yummy. + +One day, Lily saw a big plant with red and green balls. She thought they looked yummy too. She wanted to try one. She asked her mom, "What is this plant, mom?" + +Mom said, "That is a tomato plant, Lily. The red and green balls are tomatoes. They are good for you, but you have to wait until they are ripe. The green ones are not ready yet. They are sour and hard. The red ones are ripe. They are sweet and soft. You can remove one and taste it, but be careful. The plant has prickles that can hurt you." + +Lily nodded. She looked for a red tomato that was easy to reach. She found one and gently pulled it. She removed it from the plant. She felt a little prick on her finger. She said, "Ouch!" She looked at her finger. It had a tiny drop of blood. She showed it to her mom. + +Mom said, "Oh, you got a prick. Don't worry, it's not bad. Let me see." She took Lily's finger and kissed it. She said, "There, all better. Now, do you want to try the tomato?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please." She took a bite of the tomato. It was juicy and yummy. She smiled and said, "I like tomatoes, mom. They are yummy." + +Mom smiled too. She said, "I'm glad you like them, Lily. They are good for you. You can have another one if you want. But remember, only the red ones. And be careful of the prickles." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. Thank you." She picked another red tomato and ate it. She was happy. She liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to water the plants and watch them grow. She liked to smell the flowers and see the bees. She liked to pick the fruits and vegetables and eat them. They were yummy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Max. One day, they find a big scale in their mom's room. They want to see how much they weigh. + +"Let's take turns," Ben says. "I will go first." He steps on the scale and looks at the number. "Wow, I weigh twenty pounds!" he says proudly. + +"My turn, my turn!" Lily says. She steps on the scale and looks at the number. "Oh no, I weigh nineteen pounds!" she says sadly. + +Ben laughs. "Ha ha, I am bigger and stronger than you!" he says. "You are small and weak!" + +Lily feels bad. She starts to cry. "That's not nice, Ben!" she says. "You are mean!" + +Max hears Lily's voice and runs to her. He licks her face and wags his tail. He wants to make her happy. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is going on. She sees Ben, Lily, and Max on the scale. She smiles. + +"What are you doing, kids?" she asks. + +"We are weighing ourselves," Ben says. "I weigh more than Lily. I am better than her." + +Mom shakes her head. "That's not true, Ben," she says. "It doesn't matter how much you weigh. What matters is how healthy you are. You are both healthy and beautiful. You should be kind and loving to each other. You are twins. You are special." + +Ben feels sorry. He hugs Lily and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was mean. You are my sister. I love you." + +Lily smiles and hugs Ben back. She says, "I love you too, Ben. You are my brother. We are twins. We are special." + +Max barks and jumps on them. He loves them too. + +Mom hugs them all and says, "That's right. You are all special. And you are all healthy. Now, let's go and have some snacks. I made some cookies for you." + +They all go to the kitchen and enjoy the cookies. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be kind and loving to each other. They learned that being healthy is more important than being big or small. They learned that being twins is special. +Lily and Max were twins who loved to play with toys. They had many toys in their room, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom told them that they would get a big surprise for their birthday. They were very excited and curious. + +"What do you think it is?" Lily asked Max. + +"Maybe a new bike, or a doll, or a robot," Max said. + +They tried to guess what their mom had for them, but they could not find out. They had to wait until their birthday. + +On their birthday, their mom gave them a big box with a bow. She said, "Happy birthday, my loves. This is your surprise. Go ahead and open it." + +Lily and Max tore the paper and opened the box. Inside, they saw a small, furry, brown puppy. It had big eyes and a wet nose. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. Lily and Max were amazed and happy. They hugged the puppy and thanked their mom. + +"Mom, this is the best gift ever!" Lily said. + +"Mom, this is the perfect gift!" Max said. + +Their mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. This puppy is your new friend. You have to take good care of him. You have to feed him, walk him, play with him, and love him. He will give you a lot of joy and fun, but he will also need a lot of attention and patience. He is a living thing, not a toy. He is a part of our family now." + +Lily and Max nodded and promised to be good to the puppy. They named him Spot and took him to their room. They played with him and cuddled him. They realized that their mom was right. The puppy was not just a gift, he was a life. And they learned that the best things in life are not things, but love. +Lily was a furry cat who loved to play with her toys. She had a ball, a mouse, and a dictionary. The dictionary was very big and had many words inside. Lily liked to look at the pictures and try to say the words. + +One day, Lily saw a bird outside the window. The bird was blue and yellow and had a long tail. It could fly in the sky and sing a pretty song. Lily wanted to fly too. She jumped on the dictionary and opened it. She hoped to find a word that would make her fly. + +She saw a word that said "wing". She thought that was what she needed. She pointed at the word and said "wing, wing, wing". But nothing happened. She did not grow wings. She was still a furry cat. + +She saw another word that said "airplane". She thought that was what she needed. She pointed at the word and said "airplane, airplane, airplane". But nothing happened. She did not become an airplane. She was still a furry cat. + +She was sad and confused. She did not understand why the words did not work. She heard a voice behind her. It was her friend Tom, a black and white cat. + +"Hi, Lily. What are you doing?" Tom asked. + +"I want to fly like the bird. But the dictionary does not help me. Do you know how to fly?" Lily asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, I don't. But I know how to have fun. Come with me. We can play with the ball and the mouse. They are more fun than the dictionary." + +Lily thought for a moment. She still wanted to fly, but she also liked to play with Tom. She decided to close the dictionary and follow Tom. Maybe one day she would find a way to fly. But for now, she was happy to be a furry cat. +Ben and Mia were twins. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, their mom gave them a big bowl of fruit to eat. She said, "This is for both of you. Be nice and honest and share it well." + +Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They took the bowl to the living room and sat on the floor. They each picked a fruit they liked and ate it. Then they looked at the bowl again. There was only one banana left. Ben and Mia both loved bananas. + +"I want the banana," Ben said. + +"No, I want the banana," Mia said. + +They both reached for the banana and pulled it. The banana broke in half and fell on the floor. Ben and Mia gasped. They looked at the banana and then at each other. They felt sad and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben said. "I was not nice and honest. I should have asked you if you wanted the banana too." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia said. "I was not nice and honest either. I should have let you have the banana if you liked it more." + +They hugged and said, "I love you, twin." + +Then they picked up the banana pieces and washed them. They decided to share the banana and eat it together. They smiled and thanked their mom for the bowl of fruit. They learned to be nice and honest and accept what they had. +Ben and Lily liked to play guess games. They would take turns hiding something and the other one had to guess what it was. One day, Ben had a very good idea. He found a big, cold box in the kitchen. It was the freezer. He opened it and saw many things inside. He saw ice, milk, meat, peas, and a cake. He took the cake and hid it behind his back. Then he closed the freezer and called Lily. + +"Lily, Lily, come and play! I have something for you to guess!" he said. + +Lily ran to the kitchen and saw Ben smiling. She wondered what he had. + +"Is it big or small?" she asked. + +"It is big," Ben said. + +"Is it soft or hard?" she asked. + +"It is soft," Ben said. + +"Is it red or blue?" she asked. + +"It is not red or blue. It has many colors," Ben said. + +Lily thought hard. She looked around the kitchen and saw the freezer. She had an idea. + +"Is it from the freezer?" she asked. + +Ben was surprised. He did not think Lily would guess that. + +"Yes, it is from the freezer," he said. + +"Is it the cake?" she asked. + +Ben was amazed. He did not know how Lily knew that. He showed her the cake behind his back. + +"Yes, it is the cake! How did you guess?" he said. + +Lily smiled. She had a secret. + +"I saw the cake when Mom put it in the freezer this morning. She said it was for Dad's birthday. It looks incredible!" she said. + +Ben and Lily looked at the cake. It had chocolate, cream, and sprinkles. It looked yummy. + +"Can we have some?" Ben asked. + +Lily shook her head. + +"No, we can't. It is for Dad. We have to put it back in the freezer. But we can have some ice cream instead. Mom said we could," she said. + +Ben and Lily agreed. They put the cake back in the freezer and took out some ice cream. They ate it with spoons and laughed. They liked to play guess games. They liked to eat ice cream. They liked to be happy. +Anna liked to cook with her mom. They made yummy things like cookies, soup and cake. Anna had a toy kitchen in her room, where she pretended to cook too. She had pots, pans, spoons and plates. She also had a toy oven that made noises and lights when she put a battery in it. + +One day, Anna wanted to cook a cake for her dad. She found some flour, sugar, eggs and milk in the kitchen. She mixed them in a bowl and poured them in a pan. She carried the pan to her room and put it in her toy oven. She turned the knob and waited for the cake to bake. + +But nothing happened. The oven did not make any noise or light. Anna was troubled. She checked the battery. It was old and dirty. She tried to find a new battery, but she could not. She looked in the drawers, the closets, the sofa and the trash. She could not find any battery. + +She started to cry. She wanted to make a cake for her dad, but she could not. She felt sad and angry. She threw the pan on the floor and kicked the oven. She made a big mess. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to her room. She saw Anna crying and the mess. She hugged Anna and asked her what was wrong. Anna told her about the cake and the battery. Her mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We can cook a real cake in the big oven. And I have a new battery for your toy oven. Come on, let's clean up and go to the kitchen." + +Anna stopped crying and smiled too. She helped her mom clean up the mess. Then they went to the kitchen and cooked a real cake. It smelled good and tasted better. Anna was happy. She gave her mom a kiss and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best cook ever." Her mom said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are the best helper ever." They hugged and laughed. Anna could not wait to give the cake to her dad. She hoped he would like it. She was sure he would. +Lily and Max were twins who loved to play outside. They had a big tree in their backyard, with many branches and leaves. Lily and Max wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mommy?" Lily asked, holding Max's hand. + +"Sure, but be careful and don't go too high," Mommy said, smiling. "I'll watch you from here." + +Lily and Max were very enthusiastic. They ran to the tree and looked for a good place to start. They found a low branch that they could reach with their feet. They pulled themselves up and sat on the branch. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Max said, looking around. "I can see the flowers and the fence and the dog." + +"Me too!" Lily said, nodding. "And I can hear the birds singing and the wind blowing." + +They decided to climb higher and find another branch. They used their hands and feet to move up the tree. They felt the bark and the leaves on their skin. They smelled the fresh air and the sweet sap. + +They reached another branch and sat on it. They were higher than before and could see more things. + +"Look, there's a plane in the sky!" Lily said, pointing. "And there's a squirrel on that branch!" + +"Hi, squirrel!" Max said, waving. "Do you like to climb too?" + +The squirrel looked at them and twitched its tail. Then it ran away to another tree. + +Lily and Max laughed. They were having so much fun. They wanted to climb even higher and see more things. But then they heard Mommy calling them. + +"Lily, Max, it's time to come down!" Mommy said. "It's getting dark and we need to have dinner." + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They were a little sad to leave the tree, but they were also hungry and tired. + +"OK, Mommy, we're coming!" Lily said, shouting. + +They carefully climbed down the tree, branch by branch, until they reached the ground. They ran to Mommy and hugged her. + +"Did you have fun?" Mommy asked, kissing them. + +"Yes, we did!" Lily and Max said, smiling. "We climbed the tree and saw many things!" + +Mommy was proud of them. She took their hands and walked with them to the house. They had a delicious dinner and a warm bath. Then they went to bed and dreamed of climbing the tree again. +Tom and his aunt went to the park. Tom liked the park. He liked to play on the swings and the slide. His aunt liked to sit on the bench and read a book. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go to the swings!" his aunt said. + +"OK, aunt!" Tom said. He ran to the swings. He got on one and started to swing. He felt happy. + +But then he saw a big dog. The dog was ugly. It had brown fur and black spots. It had a long tail and big teeth. It barked loud. Tom was scared. + +The dog ran to Tom. It jumped on the swing. It tried to bite Tom. Tom screamed. + +"Aunt, help!" Tom cried. + +His aunt heard him. She dropped her book. She ran to Tom. She grabbed the dog's collar. She pulled hard. She pulled the dog off the swing. She pushed the dog away. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" she shouted. + +The dog ran away. It whimpered. Tom got off the swing. He hugged his aunt. + +"Thank you, aunt! You saved me!" he said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. I'm sorry the dog scared you. Are you OK?" she asked. + +"I'm OK, aunt. But I don't like that dog. It was ugly and mean," he said. + +"I don't like it either, Tom. It was a bad dog. But don't worry. It won't come back. Let's go to the slide. It's more fun," she said. + +"OK, aunt. I like the slide. It's fun and fast," he said. + +They went to the slide. They slid down. They laughed. They had fun. They forgot about the dog. They liked the park. +Tom and Anna like to play outside. They have a big red truck that they pretend is a fire truck. They take turns to drive and to put out fires with a hose. They make siren noises and wear helmets. + +One day, they see a real fire truck on their street. It is shiny and loud and has many firemen inside. The firemen are going to help someone who has a problem. Tom and Anna are very curious and excited. They run to the sidewalk and watch. + +One of the firemen sees them and smiles. He waves at them and says, "Hello, little firemen! Do you like our truck?" Tom and Anna wave back and nod. They say, "Yes, we do! We have a fire truck too, but it is smaller. We play with it every day." + +The fireman says, "That's great! Playing is good for learning. Maybe one day you can be real firemen too. Firemen are brave and helpful and reliable. They always do their best to save people and animals and things. Do you know what reliable means?" + +Tom and Anna think for a moment. They remember that their mom and dad are reliable. They always keep their promises and take care of them. They say, "Reliable means you can trust someone. They do what they say and they don't let you down." + +The fireman nods and says, "That's right. You are very smart. I'm glad you know what reliable means. It is a very important word. Now, we have to go and do our job. But before we go, do you want to see our truck up close? You can touch it and look inside." + +Tom and Anna are very happy. They say, "Yes, please! Thank you, fireman!" They follow the fireman to the truck and he shows them the different parts and tools. He lets them sit in the front seat and wear his hat. He tells them some stories about his work. Tom and Anna listen and ask questions. They have a lot of fun. + +After a while, the fireman says, "OK, kids, it's time for us to go. We have to help someone who needs us. But it was very nice to meet you and to share our truck with you. You are very good and polite and interested. Maybe we will see you again someday. Goodbye, little firemen!" + +Tom and Anna say, "Goodbye, fireman! Thank you for everything! You are very kind and reliable and cool. We hope you have a good day and stay safe. We will keep playing and learning and maybe one day we will be real firemen too!" + +They wave at the fireman and he waves back. He gets in the truck and drives away with the other firemen.

It looks too small for both of us." + +Ben had an idea. He pushed the box to the middle of the room. He cut a hole in one side with his scissors. He told Lily to go inside the box. Then he cut another hole in the opposite side. + +"Now we can both fit in the box!" Ben said. "We can look out of the holes and pretend we are driving or flying or exploring!" + +Lily liked the idea. She crawled into the box and peeked out of the hole. She saw Ben's face smiling at her. She smiled back. + +"This is fun!" Lily said. "Where do you want to go?" + +Ben thought for a moment.

Something more creative." She says. + +"But Mom, we were just pretending!" Tom says. + +"We were having fun!" Sam says. + +"I know, I know. But you can pretend with other toys. Look, here is a box of crayons and paper. You can draw your own cowboys and robbers. You can make your own story. You can be more creative." Mom says. + +She gives them the crayons and paper.

Do you know what that means?" Anna shook her head. She did not know. Nurse Lily said, "It means you're brave and calm and you wait nicely. You're doing a great job. The doctor will be here soon. He's very kind and gentle. He'll make you feel better." + +Anna felt a little less scared and sad. She liked Nurse Lily. She said, "Thank you, Nurse Lily. You're very funny and nice. Can you tell me another joke?" Nurse Lily smiled. She said, "Of course, Anna. I have lots of jokes. How about this one: What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?" Anna wondered. She did not know. Nurse Lily said, "Frostbite!" Anna laughed. She liked that joke. It made her forget about the operation for a little while. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books and they made a big mess. Mom was in the kitchen and she did not see them. + +"Look, Lily, this is a funny hat!" Tom said. He put a cushion on his head and pretended to be a king. "You are my queen and this is our throne!" He pointed to the armchair. + +Lily giggled and climbed on the armchair. She wore a scarf as a cape and a necklace as a crown. "Yes, we are the king and queen of this castle!" She said. "And these are our jewels!" She grabbed a handful of crayons and threw them in the air. + +The crayons fell on the floor and some of them broke. One of them rolled under the armchair and hit a glass of water.

The armchair is wet and it can get dirty or smelly. Next time, please play with something else." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mom, we will. We love you and we love the armchair. Can we help you clean it more?" + +Mom kissed them and said, "Yes, you can. You are very good and helpful. I love you too and I love the armchair. It is old and cozy and it was your grandma's. It is very special to me. Thank you for cleaning it." +Tom and Sam are brothers. They share a bed in their room. Tom likes to sleep on the left side. Sam likes to sleep on the right side. But sometimes, Tom and Sam fight over the bed. + +One night, Tom and Sam were fighting over the bed. Tom pushed Sam to the edge of the bed. Sam pushed Tom to the other edge of the bed. They both wanted more space. They both said, "This is my side!" + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a thunderstorm. The sky was dark and scary. The wind was strong and noisy. The rain was heavy and wet. Tom and Sam were afraid of the thunderstorm. They felt helpless. + +They stopped fighting over the bed. They moved closer to each other. They hugged each other. They said, "I'm sorry. I love you." They felt safer and warmer. They shared the bed and the blanket. They fell asleep in each other's arms. They were happy. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and come back soon. Tom and Mia ran to the hill and started to climb. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They were happy and curious. + +When they reached the top of the hill, they saw something incredible. It was a big skeleton of a dinosaur. It had a long neck, a long tail and big teeth. It looked like it was sleeping, but it was not. It was very old and did not move. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "Look at that! It is a dinosaur!" + +"Cool!" Mia said. "Can we touch it?" + +They went closer to the skeleton and touched its bones. They felt hard and smooth. They wondered how the dinosaur came to the hill and why it did not go away. + +"Maybe it was sick and could not walk," Tom said. + +"Maybe it was lonely and had no friends," Mia said. + +"Maybe it liked the hill and wanted to remain here," Tom said. + +They felt sorry for the dinosaur. They decided to give it a name and a hug. They called it Dino and wrapped their arms around its neck. + +"Hello, Dino," they said. "We are your friends. We like you." + +They heard their mom calling them. They said goodbye to Dino and ran back to her. They told her about the incredible skeleton they found. Mom smiled and said they were very brave and smart. She said they could come back to the hill and visit Dino again. Tom and Mia were happy. They liked Dino and the hill. They wanted to learn more about dinosaurs. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play in the park near their town. One day, they saw a big poster on a wall. It said: "Come and see the brilliant circus! Fun for everyone!" + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "I want to see the circus. Do you want to see it too, Anna?" + +"Yes, I do!" Anna said. "It looks so fun. Maybe we can see clowns and animals and tricks." + +They ran to their homes and asked their moms if they could go to the circus. Their moms said yes, but they had to be back before dark. They gave them some money and a hug and told them to be careful. + +Tom and Anna were very happy. They walked to the other part of the town, where the circus was. They bought their tickets and entered the big tent. They saw many people and colors and sounds. They found their seats and waited for the show to start. + +The show was brilliant. They saw a man who juggled fire, a lady who walked on a wire, a clown who made them laugh, and a lion who roared. They clapped and cheered and ate popcorn. They had a lot of fun. + +When the show was over, they thanked their moms for letting them go. They said goodbye to each other and parted ways. They walked back to their homes, feeling happy and tired. They told their moms about the circus and how brilliant it was. They went to bed and dreamed of clowns and animals and tricks. +Tom and Sue are playing with their cars in the garden. They have a race to see who is faster. Tom has a red car and Sue has a blue car. They say "Ready, set, go!" and zoom their cars on the grass. + +Sue's car is very fast and soon she is ahead of Tom. Tom tries to catch up, but he hits a big rock and his car flips over. He cries, "Oh no, my car is broken!" He picks up his car and sees that it is dirty and has a dent. + +Sue stops her car and runs to Tom. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" She looks at his car and says, "Your car is not broken, just dirty. We can clean it with water and soap. And the dent is not bad, it makes your car look cool." + +Tom stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. And you are a fast racer. You win the race, you finish first." He gives her a hug. + +Sue hugs him back and says, "You are a good friend too, Tom. And you are a brave racer. You don't give up, you finish the race too." She says, "Let's go and clean our cars. And then we can play some more. Maybe we can build a ramp and make our cars jump." + +They run to the tap and wash their cars. They don't care about the price of their cars, they only care about having fun. They are happy and dirty. +Anna and Ben like to play with water. They have a big blue bucket and a small green spray bottle. They fill the bucket with water from the tap and take it outside. They find a sunny spot on the grass and put the bucket down. + +"Let's make squares with the water!" Anna says. She picks up the spray bottle and squeezes it hard. A thin stream of water comes out and makes a wet line on the grass. She moves the bottle and makes another line. Then she makes two more lines to close the shape. "Look, I made a square!" she says proudly. + +"Wow, that's a good square!" Ben says. He wants to make one too. He takes the spray bottle from Anna and tries to copy her. But he squeezes the bottle too hard and the water comes out too fast. It makes a big splash on the grass and on Anna's face. "Oops, sorry!" he says. + +"Hey, that's not a square, that's a mess!" Anna says. She is wet and angry. She grabs the bucket and pours some water on Ben's head. "Take that!" she says. + +"Hey, stop it!" Ben says. He is wet and surprised. He grabs the bucket and pours some water on Anna's head. "Take that!" he says. + +They both laugh and splash each other with water. They forget about the squares and have fun. The water is deep in the bucket and cool on their skin. They play until the bucket is empty and the grass is wet. Then they go inside and dry themselves with towels. They are happy and tired. They hug and say sorry. They are friends again. +Tom and Anna were playing in the yard with their toys. They liked to make houses and cars with the blocks and pretend they were a family. They were having fun until they saw the dark clouds in the sky. + +"Look, Tom, a storm is coming!" Anna said, pointing at the clouds. "We have to go inside!" + +Tom nodded and started to pick up his blocks. But he saw something shiny on the grass. It was a coin. He wanted to keep it. + +"Wait, Anna, look what I found!" he said, holding the coin. "It is mine!" + +Anna looked at the coin and felt angry. She wanted to have it too. + +"No, it is mine!" she said, grabbing the coin. "I saw it first!" + +Tom and Anna began to pull the coin from each other. They did not see the storm getting closer. They did not hear the thunder and the wind. They only wanted the coin. + +Suddenly, a big raindrop fell on Tom's head. He felt wet and cold. He looked up and saw the rain. He let go of the coin and ran to the house. + +"Come on, Anna, let's go!" he shouted. "It is raining!" + +Anna felt the rain too. She felt wet and cold. She looked at the coin in her hand. She did not want it anymore. She threw it on the grass and ran after Tom. + +They reached the house and closed the door. They were safe and dry. But they felt uncomfortable. They had been mean to each other. They had fought over a coin. They had not shared. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Anna said. "The coin was not important. You are my friend." + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Tom said. "You can have the coin. I don't need it. You are my friend." + +They hugged and smiled. They were friends again. They did not care about the storm. They only cared about each other. +Lily was a unique otter. She loved to spring in and out of the water, making big splashes and bubbles. She also liked to find shiny things on the riverbank and bring them to her den. She had a collection of stones, shells, and coins that sparkled in the sun. + +One day, she saw a new thing in the water. It was round and red and had a long string. She was curious and wanted to touch it. She swam closer and closer, until she heard a loud noise. + +"Bang!" The thing exploded and scared Lily. She felt a sharp pain in her paw and saw blood. She cried out and swam away as fast as she could. + +"Help! Help!" She called for her mother, who heard her and came to her side. + +"What happened, my dear?" Her mother asked, wrapping her in her fur. + +"I saw a thing in the water and it hurt me!" Lily sobbed, showing her wound. + +"Oh, no! That was a trap, a bad thing that some people use to catch animals. You were lucky to escape, but we need to get you to the doctor. Come on, let's go." Her mother said, carrying her to the shore. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that not all things in the water were good and that she had to be careful. She also learned that her mother loved her very much and that she was a unique otter. +Lily was a curious girl. She liked to look at many things. One day, she saw a woman with a big hat and a long dress. The woman had many colors on her clothes and her face. Lily wanted to know more about her. + +She walked to the woman and said, "Hello, I am Lily. Who are you? Why do you have so many colors?" + +The woman smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. I am Nina. I am an artist. I like to paint with many colors. They make me happy. Do you like colors?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like colors. They are pretty. Can I see your paintings?" + +Nina said, "Of course, you can. Come with me. I have a studio near here. I will show you my paintings. Maybe you can help me paint something." + +Lily was very happy. She took Nina's hand and followed her. She wanted to see the paintings and learn how to paint. She was a curious girl. +Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big pile of pebbles near the slide. They decided to make a castle with the pebbles. + +Ben picked up a regular pebble and put it on the top of the castle. He said, "This is the king of the castle. He is very strong and brave." Mia picked up a shiny pebble and put it next to the regular pebble. She said, "This is the queen of the castle. She is very pretty and kind." + +They kept adding more pebbles to the castle, making walls and towers and gates. They were having a lot of fun. But then, Mia saw a very special pebble. It was round and smooth and had many colors. She said, "Wow, look at this pebble! It is the most beautiful pebble I have ever seen. I want to keep it for myself." + +Ben saw the special pebble too. He said, "No, I want it. It is mine. I saw it first." He reached for the pebble, but Mia grabbed it and held it tight. They both pulled and tugged at the pebble, trying to get it from each other. They started to yell and cry. + +The pebble slipped from their hands and fell to the ground. It rolled down the hill and into the pond. They both ran after it, but it was too late. The pebble was gone. They looked at each other with sad and angry faces. They said, "It is your fault. You are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." They turned away and walked to different sides of the park. + +They sat alone, feeling sorry for themselves. They missed their pebble and their castle, but they missed their friend more. They realized that the pebble was not worth losing their friendship. They wanted to say sorry and make up, but they did not know how. + +Then, they heard a splash. They looked at the pond and saw a duck. The duck had found the pebble and was playing with it. It tossed it in the air and caught it in its beak. It quacked happily and swam away with the pebble. + +Ben and Mia watched the duck and smiled. They thought, "Maybe the pebble belongs to the duck. Maybe the duck is happy with the pebble. Maybe we can be happy without the pebble." + +They got up and walked towards each other. They said, "I am sorry. I was mean. I was selfish. Can you forgive me?" They hugged and said, "I forgive you. I was mean too. I was selfish too. You are my best friend." They went back to their castle and played with their toys. They did not need the pebble to have fun. They had each other. +Kim and Lee are friends. They like to play with a basketball. They bounce it and throw it to each other. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is very attractive. It has many colors and a long tail. It can fly very fast and high. Kim and Lee want to fly like the bird. + +They have an idea. They tie the basketball to a rope. They throw the rope over a branch of a tree. They pull the rope and make the basketball go up and down. They pretend the basketball is the bird. + +They take turns to sit on the basketball and hold the rope. They say, "Wee, we are flying like the bird!" + +Kim sits on the basketball first. Lee pulls the rope. Kim goes up and down. She is happy. She says, "This is fun, Lee! You try next!" + +Lee sits on the basketball next. Kim pulls the rope. Lee goes up and down. He is happy. He says, "This is fun, Kim! Pull harder!" + +Kim pulls the rope harder. Lee goes higher and higher. He says, "Wow, I am so high! I can see everything!" + +But then, something bad happens. The rope breaks. The basketball flies away. Lee falls down. He hits the ground. He is hurt. He cries. Kim is scared. She runs to him. She says, "Lee, are you okay? I am sorry, I am sorry!" + +Lee is not okay. He has a big bump on his head. He has blood on his face. He has pain in his body. He says, "Kim, it hurts, it hurts! Help me, help me!" + +Kim does not know what to do. She cries too. She says, "Lee, I am sorry, I am sorry! I will get help, I will get help!" + +She runs to find an adult. She hopes Lee will be okay. She feels very bad. She wishes they never played with the basketball. She wishes they never tried to fly like the bird. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park and look for clues. They pretend they are mystery solvers. One day, they find a big box under a tree. It is locked and has a note on it. + +"Who do you think left this box here?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure or a trap," Ben says. + +They try to open the box, but it is too hard. They need a key or a code. They look around for more clues. They see some footprints in the dirt. They follow them to a bench. On the bench, there is a man with a hat and a coat. He is reading a newspaper. + +"Excuse me, sir. Do you know anything about the box under the tree?" Anna asks. + +The man looks at them and smiles. He lowers his newspaper and shows them a badge. He is a detective. + +"Hello, kids. I'm glad you found my box. It is part of a mystery I'm working on. I need your help to solve it. Are you interested?" he says. + +Anna and Ben are surprised and excited. They nod their heads. + +"Yes, we love mysteries. We are mystery solvers too," Ben says. + +The detective laughs and gives them a wink. + +"Great. Then you are just the people I need. You are brave, smart and dependable. Come with me and I'll tell you more. But first, we have to stop the bad guys who are after the box. They are very sneaky and mean. Are you ready?" he says. + +Anna and Ben look at each other and smile. They are ready for an adventure. They hold hands and follow the detective. They are going to solve the mystery of the box. +Anna and Ben like to play near the stream. The stream is big and clear and has many fish and stones. Anna and Ben like to catch fish with their hands and throw stones in the water. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a man walking by the stream. The man is wearing a shiny suit and a big hat. He has a bag full of money. He looks at Anna and Ben and says, "What are you doing here? This is my stream. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben are scared and sad. They do not understand why the man is so mean. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We just want to play. We do not hurt the stream or the fish. Please let us stay." + +The man says, "No, you cannot stay. This is my stream. I bought it with my money. I am rich and you are poor. You have nothing and I have everything. Go away or I will call the police!" + +Anna and Ben run away from the man. They cry and hug each other. They do not want to lose their stream. They think the man is very bad and greedy. They wish they could be rich too, but not like him. They wish they could be rich in love and happiness. +Lila liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a green lizard. She called him Lenny. Lenny was soft and squishy and made a funny noise when she squeezed him. + +One day, Lila saw a huge flower in the garden. It was red and yellow and smelled sweet. Lila wanted to smell it closer, so she put Lenny on the ground and walked to the flower. She did not see the bee that was buzzing around the flower. + +The bee saw Lenny and thought he was a real lizard. The bee did not like lizards. They ate bees. The bee flew to Lenny and stung him hard. Lenny felt a sharp pain and started to shrink. He became smaller and smaller until he was as tiny as a bug. + +Lila heard Lenny's noise and turned around. She saw the bee flying away and Lenny on the ground. She ran to him and picked him up. She was scared. Lenny was so small. She could barely see him. She hugged him and cried. + +Lila's mom heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw Lila holding something in her hand. She asked her what was wrong. Lila showed her Lenny and told her what happened. Lila's mom felt sorry for Lila and Lenny. She told her that maybe Lenny would grow back if they put him in some water. She took Lila and Lenny inside and filled a bowl with water. She put Lenny in the water and told Lila to wait and see. + +Lila waited and watched. She hoped that Lenny would grow back. She did not want to lose her favorite toy. She did not know that Lenny was not a toy, but a magic lizard. He had a secret power. He could shrink and grow when he wanted. He only shrank to escape the bee. He was not hurt. He was just playing. He waited for Lila to leave the bowl and then he grew back to his normal size. He jumped out of the bowl and ran to the garden. He wanted to play some more. He did not know that Lila was looking for him. He did not know that Lila was sad. He did not know that Lila loved him. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of salad, some bread, and some cheese. They also had a bunch of celery that their mom gave them. + +"Let's put some celery in the salad," Tom said. "It will make it crunchy and green." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But I don't like celery. It tastes yucky." + +"You have to try it," Tom said. "It's good for you. It makes you strong and healthy." + +He took a knife and started to cut the celery into small pieces. He was very careful not to hurt himself. + +Lily watched him and made a face. She did not want to eat the celery. She had an idea. She saw a toy car on the floor. She picked it up and threw it at Tom. + +"Hey!" Tom shouted. "What are you doing?" + +He dropped the knife and the celery and turned to Lily. He was angry. + +"I don't want celery in the salad," Lily said. "I want to prevent you from putting it in." + +"That's not nice," Tom said. "You could have hurt me with the car. And you made a mess with the celery. Now we have to clean it up." + +He picked up the car and the celery and put them on the table. He looked at Lily with a frown. + +"I'm sorry," Lily said. "I was just joking. I didn't mean to make you mad." + +She gave him a hug and a kiss. She felt bad for throwing the car. + +"It's okay," Tom said. "I forgive you. But you should try the celery. It's not that bad. Maybe you will like it if you dip it in cheese." + +He took a piece of celery and dipped it in cheese. He offered it to Lily. + +Lily looked at the celery and the cheese. She was curious. She decided to give it a try. She took a bite and chewed it. + +She was surprised. It was not yucky. It was crunchy and cheesy. It was fine. + +She smiled at Tom and said, "You were right. Celery is fine. Can I have some more?" + +Tom smiled back and said, "Sure. Here you go. We can share the celery and the cheese. And we can make the best salad ever." + +They ate the celery and the cheese and finished the salad. They were happy and proud. They had fun playing in the kitchen. They were good chefs and good friends. +Tom and Amy were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. They were very intelligent. They knew many words and colors and shapes. + +One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. You will receive a tray with a yummy snack. But you have to wait until I come back. Do not touch the tray until then. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Amy nodded. They were excited. They wondered what the snack was. They waited in the living room. They saw the tray on the table. It had a big cake and two glasses of juice. + +Tom said, "I want to see the cake. It looks so good. Maybe we can have a little bite. Mom will not know." + +Amy said, "No, Tom. We have to listen to mom. She said do not touch the tray. We have to wait. It is not nice to break the rule." + +Tom said, "But I am hungry. And curious. And it is just a little bite. Come on, Amy. Do not be scared. We are intelligent. We can be careful." + +Amy said, "No, Tom. I do not want to. It is wrong. Please, do not do it." + +But Tom did not listen. He went to the table. He reached for the cake. He did not see the cat. The cat was hiding under the table. The cat saw the cake. The cat jumped on the table. The cat knocked over the tray. The cake and the juice fell on the floor. The cat ran away. + +Tom and Amy screamed. They were scared and sad. They saw the mess. They knew they were in trouble. They heard mom coming. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had not touched the tray. They wished they had been more intelligent. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with a cave in it. They wanted to see what was inside the cave, so they decided to race to it. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted, and they both ran as fast as they could. Sam was faster than Tom, and he reached the cave first. He looked inside and saw a lot of dark and scary things. He felt afraid and wanted to go back. + +"Tom, Tom, where are you?" Sam called out. He hoped Tom would come soon and help him. + +But Tom was still far behind. He had stopped to look at some flowers and bugs on the way. He thought they were pretty and interesting. He did not care about the cave anymore. + +"Sam, Sam, look at this!" Tom shouted, holding a shiny rock. He did not hear Sam's voice. + +Sam felt alone and sad. He wished he had not raced to the cave. He wished he had stayed with Tom and enjoyed the things around him. + +He learned that being first is not always fun, and that sometimes it is better to share and be kind. +Lily and Mom are going to the park. Lily puts on her pink hat and coat. She is ready. Mom takes her purse and keys. She is ready too. + +They walk to the door. But then they hear a ring. It is the phone. Mom says, "Wait a minute, Lily. I have to answer the phone. Maybe it is Dad." + +Mom goes to the phone. Lily waits by the door. She sees Mom's purse on the table. She likes Mom's purse. It is shiny and has a flower on it. Lily wants to see what is inside. + +She goes to the table. She opens the purse. She finds a wallet, a lipstick, a tissue and a candy. She takes the candy. She thinks, "Mom won't mind. She has many candies." + +She puts the candy in her pocket. She closes the purse. She goes back to the door. She smiles. She is ready again. + +Mom comes back. She says, "Sorry, Lily. It was not Dad. It was a wrong number. Are you ready to go?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, Mom. I am ready. Let's go to the park." + +They hold hands. They walk out the door. Lily thinks, "I will eat the candy at the park. It will be yummy." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with boxes. They have many boxes in their room. They can make houses, cars, castles and more with boxes. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. It is brown and has numbers on it. Lily and Ben are enthusiastic. They want to play with the big box. + +"Let's make a rocket with the big box!" Lily says. + +"No, let's make a boat with the big box!" Ben says. + +They both pull the big box. They do not want to share. They start to argue. + +"Rocket!" + +"Boat!" + +"Rocket!" + +"Boat!" + +They make a loud noise. Mom hears them. She comes to the garage. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" Mom asks. + +"We want to play with the big box, but we do not agree!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom smiles. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you make a rocket boat with the big box?" Mom says. "You can use the numbers to count the stars and the waves. You can both have fun with the big box." + +Lily and Ben think. They like Mom's idea. They stop arguing. They hug Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. + +They work together. They make a rocket boat with the big box. They use tape, crayons, scissors and stickers. They make a window, a door, a mast and a flag. They put the big box in the yard. They pretend to fly and sail with the big box. They are happy. They are friends. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins, buttons, or shells. But today they found something different. + +"Look, look!" Mia shouted, holding up a small, round, blue thing. "I found a gem!" + +Ben ran over to see. He was curious. He wanted to touch the gem. He reached out his hand and tried to grab it from Mia. + +"Hey, no!" Mia said, pulling the gem away. "It's mine! I found it!" + +Ben was angry. He wanted the gem too. He tried to snatch it from Mia again. But Mia was faster. She snapped her hand closed around the gem and ran away. + +"Come back!" Ben yelled, chasing after her. "Share with me!" + +Mia ran across the grass, but she did not see a big rock in her way. She tripped and fell. The gem flew out of her hand and rolled away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Mia cried, rubbing her knee. "That hurts!" + +Ben caught up with her. He saw the gem lying on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it. It was not a gem. It was a marble. A blue marble with white swirls. + +"Look, Mia," he said, holding out the marble. "It's not a gem. It's a toy. A pretty toy. Do you want to play with it?" + +Mia stopped crying. She looked at the marble. It was pretty. She smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, Ben," she said, taking the marble. "Thank you. You can play with it too. We can take turns." + +Ben smiled too. He was happy. He did not want the marble anymore. He wanted to play with Mia. They were friends. + +They got up and ran back to the sand. They dug a hole and buried the marble. Then they dug it up again. They had fun. They shared the toy. They forgot about the rock and the fall. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to run after it. + +One time, the ball went over the fence and landed in the neighbor's yard. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw it near a big dog that was sleeping on the grass. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. + +"Can we get the ball?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "The dog might wake up and bite us." + +They were scared of the dog, but they wanted their ball back. They looked around and saw a hole in the fence. It was small, but maybe they could fit through it. + +"Let's try to pull the fence and make the hole bigger," Ben said. + +They grabbed the fence and pulled with all their strength. The fence made a loud noise and the dog opened its eyes. It saw Lily and Ben and started to growl and bark. + +Lily and Ben let go of the fence and ran away. They were very scared and felt helpless. They did not know how to get their ball back. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. They told her what happened and asked for her help. + +"Don't worry, kids," mom said. "I'll talk to the neighbor and get your ball back. The dog is not mean, he just doesn't like strangers. Next time, don't pull the fence, just knock on the door and ask nicely." + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged their mom. They were glad she was there to help them. They learned a lesson and waited for their ball. +Lucy was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She could brush her teeth, put on her shoes, and choose her clothes. She also liked to play with her toys and read her books in her room. + +One night, she decided to stay up late and watch the stars from her window. She did not want to go to bed when her mom told her to. She said, "No, mom, I am not sleepy. I want to see the stars. They are shiny and pretty." + +Her mom said, "Lucy, you need to sleep. It is dark and late. You will be tired tomorrow. Come on, let's go to your bed. I have a surprise for you." + +Lucy was curious about the surprise, so she followed her mom to her bed. There, she saw a big orange pumpkin on her pillow. It had a smiley face and a stem. It was a gift from her dad, who had brought it from the farm. + +Lucy was happy and hugged the pumpkin. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, dad. I love the pumpkin. It is funny and cute." + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lucy. I'm glad you like it. Now, let's say good night to the pumpkin and the stars. You can see them again tomorrow." + +Lucy said good night to the pumpkin and the stars.

They saw the mess on the floor and the empty oven. + +"Where is our cake?" Sam asked. + +"Someone took it," Mia said. + +They looked around and saw the dog's paw prints on the floor. They followed them to the back door and saw the dog outside. He was eating the cake and wagging his tail. + +"Hey, that's our cake!" Sam shouted. + +"Give it back!" Mia cried. + +But the dog did not listen. He finished the cake and ran away. + +Sam and Mia were very sad and angry. They had no cake and no sprinkles and no chocolate chips.

One day, he went to the farm with his mom and dad. They said he could pet the horses, but he had to be careful and stay close to them. + +Ben saw a brown horse with a white spot on its nose. He thought it was very pretty. He ran to the horse and reached out his hand. He wanted to feel its nose. But the horse did not like Ben. It did not want him to touch it. It was scared and angry. It lifted its head and bit Ben's hand. Ben screamed and cried. His hand was bleeding and hurting. His mom and dad ran to him and hugged him. They took him to the car and drove to the doctor. + +Ben was very sad and scared. He did not like horses anymore. He did not want to go to the farm again. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He learned that horses can be dangerous and not all of them are friendly. He hoped his hand would get better soon. He hoped he would not have a scar. He hoped he would not have a bad dream. He hoped nothing like that would happen again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food.

Lily said, holding up a bowl of sticky dough. "It smells good!" + +"Me too!" Ben said, showing his bowl of runny batter. "It looks good!" + +They wanted to bake their cakes in the oven.

Ben said. + +They carried their bowls to the table. They put them down carefully. Then they tried to climb up. But the table was slippery. It had some oil on it from their mom's cooking.

They had no more cake. They felt sad. + +Then they heard their mom coming. She saw them and the mess. She was not angry. She was cheerful. + +"Oh, my little chefs!" she said. "What have you done?" + +"We tried to make cake, but we slipped on the table!" Lily and Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"I'm sorry you slipped, but I'm glad you're okay," she said. "You don't need to make cake. I have a surprise for you.

I like the truck more than the doll." She takes the truck from Tim's bag and puts it in her bag. Tim sees the doll. He does not want the doll. He wants the truck. He says, "No, this is mine. I like the truck more than the doll." He takes the doll from Kim's bag and throws it on the floor. + +Tim and Kim start to fight. They pull and push and yell. They say, "Mine, mine, mine!" Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, Tim and Kim. You are not fine. You are not nice. You have to share. You can not bring both toys.

She is afraid of falling. + +"Please, Kim, it will be fun!" Tim says. He pulls Kim's hand and they go to the ladder. + +They start to climb the ladder. It is not easy. The ladder is old and shaky.
