+One day, Joe the giraffe decided to march in the park. He stretched his long neck and waved his scruffy tail as he marched. As he marched, Joe noticed a big olive tree. He had never seen anything like it before. He wanted to take a closer look, so he decided to march right up to it.
+
+When Joe reached the tree, he noticed something odd. It was covered with green olives! Joe had never seen so many olives in one place before. He was curious, so he grabbed an olive and took a bite. It was delicious! He devoured the olive and reached for another.
+
+Suddenly, Joe heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw his mom walking towards him. She looked angry. Joe realized he had been too busy eating the olives to notice that he hadn't paid for them! His mom explained that the olives were expensive and Joe should never take things without asking first. Joe nodded, embarrassed, and marched back home with his mom.

+
+The two other friends were mad at the naughty friend, but they realized that greed was the wrong thing to do and so they decided to teach the naughty friend a lesson.

+Bubba loved to kiss his parents every day. He did it after breakfast, before bedtime and whenever he felt like it. One day, he decided to try something different. He asked his parents if he could kiss his pistol? 
+
+Bubba's parents were worried at first and said no. But eventually, after some negotiating, they agreed as long as he did it in a regular manner. 
+
+So every morning and night, just like he did with his mom and dad, Bubba kissed his pistol. He loved feeling how it would vibrate and make a sound. 
+
+One day, while Bubba was out playing, he heard a loud bang. He rushed back home to find his parents in the living room with a gun in their hands. His dad had just shot an intruder who had snuck in and threatened the family. Bubba was so relieved that he ran to the pair and gave them both a big kiss.

+
+Suddenly, Lilly heard a voice. "Behave!" it said. Lilly was too scared to move. Slowly, she looked up and saw a big gentle giant. He was smiling. 
+
+He said, "It's okay, I just wanted to let you know, you should behave yourself when picking my strawberries. They are special, you know."

+
+Nella and her mom approached the girl, and they all said hello. Nella quickly realized that the girl was like her; she was also shy and fearful, just like her.

+
+One day, the bear heard a loud noise coming from inside a nearby case. He immediately ran to the case and started to stand in front of it.
+
+He was very curious to find out what was inside. He stood and waited as the case slowly opened. Suddenly, he heard a loud meow! There was a tiny kitten inside the case.
+
+The bear was so happy. He carefully picked up the kitten and held it in his arms. The kitten was also very loyal, so it quickly started purring.

+Once upon a time there was a modern port. Everyday a group of ships would sail in and out on the horizon. One day, a little boy named Timmy asked his dad why they did this. 
+
+“These ships come to this port to trade,†said his dad. “They bring in lots of different things and take away other things to their places."
+
+Timmy was curious, and so he asked again, “Will they come today?â€
+
+His dad smiled and said, “Yes, but you have to stay here. I have to go see them.â€
+
+Timmy waited patiently all day, and sure enough he saw the ships coming from far away. Finally, his dad returned with a small box. 
+
+“This is for you!†He said, and handed the little box to Timmy. Once opened, Timmy saw the most beautiful set of wooden blocks of all shapes and sizes which he started to play with. All day he was excitedly playing with his new blocks, not noticing that the ships had left to port and the sun was setting in the sky. 
+
+At the end of the day, Timmy and his dad watched the sun set over the horizon, happy with their wonderful day at the port.
+Once there was a very lucky kitten. She was always looking for adventures and one day she found one. She walked across the meadow and saw a huge tank sitting there.

+
+The bunny and the frog started to get scared, but then they noticed a pile of carrots in the middle of the fog. The bunny and the frog went closer to have a look. The bunny started to chew a carrot, but then it realised that there were scary giant eyes in the fog, staring at them. The bunny was very scared!
+
+The bunny and the frog were about to run away when they heard a voice from the fog. The voice said: “Friends, don’t be scared, it’s just me, the fog!†
+
+The bunny and the frog were very surprised. The fog explained to them that it was actually just a big bunch of misty clouds and that it was never meant to be scary or dangerous.
+
+The bunny and the frog were relieved and started to laugh. They were also very happy to learn a valuable lesson: never judge things just by their looks, because often there is much more behind a situation than meets the eye.
+Once upon a time there was a brave knight. He had a big axe that he could use to chop down trees. One day, he was walking through the woods when he came upon a charming lake. He decided to slide across the lake on his axe.
+
+At first, the knight was able to slide across the lake easily. But, the knight was too brave and he went too fast. Before he knew it, he was in the middle of the lake and his axe started to sink!
+
+The knight tried to grab onto something, but there was nothing to grab onto. So eventually, he was pulled under the water and he never came up again. His axe stayed at the bottom of the lake, never to be seen again. The end.
+"Look!" yelled Grandpa. "It's an ordinary trap!" Grandma and Grandpa had been walking through the woods with 3 year old Jack.
+Jack smiled and ran to examine the trap. He was looking for bugs or animals.
+"What does it do?" asked Jack.
+"Listen! It catches things," answered Grandpa.
+Jack's eyes widened. "Can I try?" he asked eagerly.
+Grandpa laughed. "Well, let's see." He carefully showed Jack how to set the trap and then said, "Ok, now let's listen."
+Together, they waited in the forest, listening for any signs of the trap working. Suddenly they heard a loud click.
+Jack looked up to Grandpa, his eyes sparkling. Grandpa smiled.
+"Let's take a look!" he said. 
+Together, they went over to the trap and Jack saw a small rabbit inside. Jack was amazed. 
+"This is the best adventure ever!" he said happily.
+Once upon a time there was an ordinary bush in a sunny garden. All day long, the bush rested in the warm sunshine, just waiting to be found.
+
+One day, a little girl came walking through the garden. She noticed the bush right away! But when the little girl walked closer, she did not see anything special. She could not believe that the bush could be so ordinary! 
+
+The little girl decided to see what would happen if she just believed in the bush. She made a wish and waved her hands in the air. A moment later, the bush began to glow and sparkle!
+
+The little girl was delighted. She had seen something special all along, it just took a bit of believing to see it! From then on, the bush glowed with special magic whenever the little girl visited the garden.
+Once there was a young boy named John. John had a yellow crayon and he wanted to create something special with it. He looked at the crayon and smiled. He held the yellow crayon with his thumb and he was ready to draw something.
+
+He started to draw some circles and lines. Suddenly, his dad called, "John, what are you creating?"
+
+John was excited that his dad was interested, so he proudly showed the picture and said, "I am creating a beautiful yellow sun!"
+
+His dad smiled and said, "That looks wonderful. You have done great work!"
+
+John was so proud of himself and he beamed with pride. He finished his drawing, then put away his yellow crayon and showed off his creation with his thumb. He was very proud of himself and said, "I can create anything with my thumb and my yellow crayon!"
+Once upon a time there was a group of children. They were all feeling very generous so they decided to give each other presents. 
+
+One child named Anne was the first to offer something that was quite modest. She gave each person a small toy. Then, the other children followed her example and gave books, candy, and other neat gifts. 
+
+Suddenly, a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere and blew each one of the presents away. Everyone felt very sad. 
+
+"What can we do now?" asked one of the children. 
+
+Anne stepped up. "Let's all give one more modest gift to each other," she said. 
+ 
+The group all agreed, but just then it started to pour. Soon all of the presents were completely ruined. 
+
+The children were so sad and frustrated that they didn't talk to each other for a long time. They all knew that their modest gifts had been wasted. 
+
+The end.
+Once upon a time there was a special little girl named Mary. Mary was very independent. She had a special way of knowing things even when adults didn't.
+
+One day, Mary went outside to look at the sky. She wanted to know more about the universe. She lay in the grass to look at the stars and question their secrets.
+
+Little Mary asked the stars a lot of questions. She wanted to know more about the universe. But, no matter how many questions she asked, she never really knew the answer.
+
+Finally, after asking lots of questions, little Mary realized that the universe was too special and too big to comprehend. That's why it was so great. It was a secret beyond her knowing.
+
+But, Mary was glad that she was independent enough to wonder about its mysteries. That's why Mary still loves to look up at the night sky. You never know what secrets the universe holds in store!

He swam around the pond, showing off his picture to all of his fish friends. They all thought it was so cool. The small fish smiled and looked at his picture, feeling very proud of himself.
+Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sam. She was super eager and always wanted to do something new. Every night she would dream of flying and her adventures in the sky. One night, her mom gave her a special rag to take with her on her travels. It was made from her grandma's old dresses and was really soft and beautiful. 
+
+The next day, Sam had an idea - she'd make a kite out of the rag!
+
+So she took some sticks from the garden and with a bit of help from her mom, she made a beautiful kite. She ran outside and began to fly the kite.
+
+Suddenly the wind started to pick up, and suddenly the kite swept Sam off the ground and she found herself soaring through the sky, just like in her dreams!
+
+The moral of the story is that if you are eager and creative, things you dream of can actually come true!

+
+The ant happily replied, “It’s a mighty twig! I’m taking it to the hilltop. I want to leave it there.â€
+
+The bird was intrigued. So he asked, “Why?â€
+
+The ant said, “To show that I can carry something really heavy!†She continued on her way, and the bird decided to follow her.
+
+Eventually, the ant and the bird reached the hilltop and the ant carefully placed the twig on the ground. She then said to the bird, “See, I can carry something really mighty! Now I must leave.â€
+
+So the ant left and the bird watched as she disappeared into the forest. The bird then flew away too, pondering the ant’s strength and bravery.

+
+Sarah said, "That's a big plan - what will we do?"
+
+Tom said, "Let's pick some big roses and make a bunch for her."

+Once upon a time there was a wide hammer. It was big and strong. One day the hammer wanted to go for a walk. He bounced around, enjoying his freedom.
+
+Suddenly he came across a shrinking machine. The hammer was curious so he decided to jump in. As soon as he did, he started to shrink and shrink until he was very small. He was so tiny that he could now fit in the palm of a hand.
+
+He had lots of fun hopping around, exploring the world from the new perspective. Everywhere he went, he met the little creatures. They all looked so small and friendly.
+
+The hammer was having a great time but then he heard a loud BANG! He looked up to see a huge hand reaching down to pick him up. The hand was gentle and caring and it put the little hammer in a nice safe place.
+
+He knew he would never forget his amazing adventure. He was so happy that he had been able to shrink so he could explore the world and meet the funny little creatures.
+Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sarah, she was very pretty. She had a big trophy that she was very proud of, she looked after it very carefully and kept it beside her all the time.
+
+One day when Sarah was out playing in the park with her friends she spotted a boy who also had a trophy, but his trophy was even bigger than hers. She was jealous and wanted it for herself and asked if he wanted to play a game.
+
+The boy agreed and said he wanted to play tag. Sarah loved this game and they ran and ran until Sarah was exhausted and had to stop. The boy then asked her to surrender. She didn't really understand what he meant but she did as he asked. The boy then took her trophy and ran away with it.
+
+Sarah was very upset and started to cry. She thought to herself that her trophy was now gone, and although she had been very pretty and had a lovely trophy, it was gone forever.

+
+One day, the mommy went to take a nap, and the little girl wanted to go swimming too. She filled the bathtub with water, but soon the water was over the edge and it started spilling onto the floor. 
+
+The mommy woke up and saw what was happening. She said, "Oh no! What are you doing?" 
+
+The little girl was scared. She didn't know what to do. She tried to think of a way to fix her problem, but she couldn't think of one.
+
+Suddenly, she had an idea. She remembered that Grandma was deaf, so she couldn't hear the water running. She could swim in Grandma's tub instead! She quickly ran out of the house to Grandma's house.
+
+The little girl had a lot of fun swimming in Grandma's big bathtub. When her mommy arrived to take her home, the little girl was all dried up and had learned an important lesson – never swim in too much water!
+Once there was a man named Jack who wanted to go for a walk. He put on his shoes but he forgot to put on socks. When he started to walk, his heel began to rot. The ground was cold and Jack's heel hurt more and more. 
+
+He tried to get back home but his heel hurt too much. He had to keep walking, even though it felt terrible. 
+
+Eventually, Jack had to stop. He sat down on a bench and his heel was red and swollen. He couldn't move his foot anymore.

+Pete started walking around the forest and soon found something bright and shiny. It was a pastel! He gave it a really good look and decided to take it with him on his journey.
+
+Pete kept walking and soon came upon a clearing. He saw a group of other friendly bears talking and playing with each other. Pete couldn't believe his luck and decided to join them.
+
+One of the bears asked Pete what he had in his hands and Pete proudly showed them the pastel he had found. All the bears wanted to play with it. Together they created beautiful drawings with the pastel and had lots of fun. 
+
+Pete was so happy he had found a pastel and even more happy that he had found such friendly bears to play with.
+Once upon a time, there was a three-year-old boy named Larry. Larry was always asking lots of questions and was very curious.
+
+One day, while he was playing in the park, he saw a door with a knob on it. He wondered what was behind the door, but it was too hard for him to open.
+
+He asked a grownup what was behind the door. The grownup said, "I'm sorry but I can't open it for you, Larry. It's too hard for you."
+
+Larry was very sad. Then, out of nowhere, he heard a gentle voice say, "You can do it Larry! Pull the knob." Larry was surprised. He looked around but he couldn't find who said it.
+
+Just then, the grownup said, "I'm not sure what's behind the door, but I recommend you give it a try. Pull the knob slowly, but don't be too harsh."
+
+So Larry very slowly pulled the knob and - to his great surprise - the door opened! Behind the door there was a beautiful playground, just like the grownup said. Larry was so happy!
+
+He thanked the grownup and ran off to explore the playground. Larry had a wonderful time playing and having lots of fun.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big pit with many stones. Tim said, "Let's count the stones in the pit. I bet I can count more than you." Lily said, "OK, let's try. You go first."
+
+Tim jumped into the pit and started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten..." He was very proud of himself. He looked at Lily and said, "See? I can count to ten. Can you?"
+
+Lily nodded and jumped into the pit too. She started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen..." She was very smart. She looked at Tim and said, "See? I can count to fifteen. You can't."
+
+Tim felt embarrassed. He did not know how to count more than ten. He wanted to cry. He said, "That's not fair. You are older than me. You know more than me."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tim. She did not want to make him sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Tim. You are right. I am older than you. I learned how to count more than ten at school. But you can learn too. You are very good at counting to ten. That's a lot of stones. Do you want me to teach you how to count more?"
+
+Tim smiled. He said, "Yes, please. I want to learn how to count more. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. And you are very smart. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, of course. We can be friends. And we can count together. Counting is fun. And it is more fun with a friend."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be proud of what you know and don't be ashamed of what you don't know. Be humble and be willing to learn. And be kind and be friendly to others.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys in their room. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They had a big box where they put their toys when they were done playing. Their mom told them to be organized and keep their toys in the box.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to play with their crayons and paper. They took out their crayons and paper from the box and went to the table. They drew many pictures with their crayons. They drew their family, their pets, their friends, and their favorite things. They had fun making their pictures.
+
+When they finished, they showed their pictures to each other. "Look, this is me and you and mom and dad," Tom said, pointing to his picture. "We are happy and smiling."
+
+"That's a nice picture, Tom," Lily said. "Look, this is me and you and our dog and our cat," she said, pointing to her picture. "We are playing and having fun."
+
+"I like your picture, Lily," Tom said. "You are good at drawing."
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They were proud of their pictures. They wanted to keep their pictures and show them to their mom and dad.
+
+They looked at the table and saw that there were many crayons and paper scraps on it. They remembered that their mom told them to be organized and keep their toys in the box. They decided to clean up the table and put their crayons and paper back in the box. But they did not want to put their pictures in the box. They wanted to remain on the table, where they could see them.
+
+They asked their mom if they could leave their pictures on the table. Their mom came to their room and saw their pictures. She smiled and said, "You made beautiful pictures, Tom and Lily. I'm glad you had fun with your crayons and paper. You can leave your pictures on the table, but you have to be careful not to spill anything on them or tear them. And you have to put your crayons and paper back in the box, so they don't get lost or broken. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We can do that. We will be organized and keep our toys in the box. But we want to keep our pictures on the table. They are our images of us and our family and our pets and our friends. We love them."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I love you, too. And I love your pictures. They are very special."
+Lila and Ben were twins, but they liked different things. Lila liked to play with dolls and draw flowers. Ben liked to play with cars and dig holes. One day, they went with their mom and dad to a valley. The valley had green grass, big trees, and a small river.
+
+"Look, Lila, a bridge!" Ben said, pointing to a wooden bridge over the river. "Let's go and see what's on the other side!"
+
+"No, Ben, I want to stay here and make a necklace with these pretty stones," Lila said, picking up some shiny pebbles. "You go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
+
+Ben shrugged and ran to the bridge. He crossed it and saw a hill with some sheep and a fence. He climbed the hill and tried to pet a sheep, but it ran away. He chased it and laughed.
+
+Lila sat on the grass and strung the pebbles on a string. She made a beautiful necklace and put it around her neck. She smiled and looked at the sky. She saw some dark clouds and heard a loud boom.
+
+"Oh no, it's going to rain!" she said, getting up. "Where is Ben? He should come back now!"
+
+She ran to the bridge and called his name. "Ben, Ben, where are you? It's raining, we have to go!"
+
+Ben heard her voice and looked up. He saw the raindrops falling and felt them on his face. He liked the rain, it was fun and cool. He didn't want to go.
+
+"Lila, Lila, come here! It's raining, we can play in the rain!" he shouted, jumping in a puddle.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't! We'll get wet and cold and sick! Come on, let's go to mom and dad!" Lila shouted back, waving her arms.
+
+Ben shook his head and splashed some water at her. "No, Lila, you come here! It's fun, you'll see!"
+
+Lila frowned and crossed her arms. "No, Ben, you come here! It's not fun, it's bad!"
+
+They argued and argued, but neither of them moved. The rain got heavier and heavier, and they got wetter and wetter. They didn't notice that their mom and dad came to get them. They picked them up and carried them to the car.
+
+"Lila and Ben, what are you doing? You're soaked!" their mom said, wrapping them in towels.
+
+"We were playing, mom," Ben said, smiling.
+
+"We were not, mom," Lila said, pouting.
+
+They looked at each other and realized how different they were. But they also realized that they loved each other. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Lila, I should have listened to you," Ben said.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, I should have tried to have fun with you," Lila said.
+
+They kissed and smiled. Their mom and dad smiled too. They drove away from the valley, happy and warm.
+Timmy hated loud noises. He liked to play with his cars and trucks in his room, where it was quiet and cozy. But his mom had a new friend, and he had a parrot. A loud, noisy, squawky parrot.
+
+The parrot came to visit with the friend, and it stayed in the living room. It said words that Timmy did not know, and it laughed like a witch. It made Timmy's ears hurt, and he could not hear his cars and trucks.
+
+One day, Timmy decided to make the parrot go away. He sneaked into the living room, when his mom and the friend were in the kitchen. He saw the parrot in its cage, on a table. He grabbed the cage and ran to the door. He wanted to throw the cage outside, and let the parrot fly away.
+
+But the parrot saw Timmy, and it was not happy. It screeched and bit the bars of the cage. It made so much noise that Timmy's mom and the friend heard it. They came to the living room, and saw Timmy with the cage.
+
+"Timmy, what are you doing?" his mom asked, in a stern voice.
+
+"I don't like the parrot, mom. It is loud and mean. I want it to go away," Timmy said, in a small voice.
+
+"Timmy, that is not nice. The parrot is a living thing, and it belongs to my friend. You can't just take it and throw it away. You have to be gentle and respectful with animals, even if they are loud and annoying. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" his mom said, in a soft voice.
+
+Timmy felt bad. He did not think about how the parrot felt. He only thought about himself. He looked at the parrot, and saw that it was scared and angry. He felt sorry for it.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, parrot. I won't do that again. Can we be friends?" Timmy said, in a sorry voice.
+
+The parrot looked at Timmy, and saw that he was sorry. It calmed down and stopped screeching. It said, in a friendly voice, "Hello, Timmy. I'm Polly. Want a cracker?"
+
+Timmy smiled. He put the cage back on the table, and gave the parrot a cracker. He said, in a happy voice, "Hello, Polly. I'm Timmy. Thank you for the cracker."
+
+Timmy's mom and the friend smiled, too. They were glad that Timmy and the parrot made up. They hugged Timmy and praised him for being a good boy. They said, in a kind voice, "We love you, Timmy. And we love Polly, too."
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bottle under a tree. The bottle was dirty and had a skull on it.
+
+"Look, what is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is juice," Lily said.
+
+She picked up the bottle and opened it. It smelled bad.
+
+"Yuck, this is not juice. This is poison," Tom said.
+
+He tried to take the bottle from Lily, but she was curious.
+
+"Maybe it is not poison. Maybe it is magic," she said.
+
+She drank some of the liquid. It tasted bitter and made her cough.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop! You are hurting yourself!" Tom shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Lily fell to the ground. She was not moving. She was not breathing. She was gone.
+
+Tom cried and cried. He ran to get help, but nobody could save Lily. She had drunk too much poison.
+
+Tom was very sad. He missed his friend. He wished he had stopped her from drinking the poison. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that poison is dangerous and that he should not touch things that he does not know.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not drink or eat things that you do not know. They might be poison and make you sick or die. Listen to your friends when they warn you. Be careful and stay safe.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big chamber. Their chamber had many toys, books, and pictures. They also had a small bed where they slept at night.
+
+One day, their mom told them they had to improve their chamber. She said it was too messy and they had to put away their things. Anna and Ben did not want to do that. They wanted to keep playing.
+
+"Mom, please, can we play a little more?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, you have to improve your chamber now. It is your duty. You can play later, after you finish," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad, but they knew mom was right. She was dependable and always took care of them. They decided to obey and improve their chamber.
+
+They worked together and helped each other. They put their toys in the boxes, their books on the shelves, and their pictures on the wall. They also made their bed and threw away the trash.
+
+When they were done, they looked at their chamber. It was much better. It was clean, neat, and cozy. They felt proud and happy.
+
+"Wow, you did a great job! Your chamber looks wonderful. I am very proud of you," mom said, smiling.
+
+"Thank you, mom. We improved our chamber. We are sorry we were naughty before," Anna and Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them. She said they were good and dependable twins. She also said they could play now, as a reward.
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They thanked mom and ran to their chamber. They played with their toys, read their books, and looked at their pictures. They had fun in their improved chamber.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with blocks and cars. One day, they wanted to make a snack. They saw a big jar of cookies on the shelf. They wanted to eat the cookies.
+
+They got a chair and a ruler. They put the chair near the shelf. They climbed on the chair. They used the ruler to measure the jar. They saw the jar was too high. They could not reach the jar.
+
+They got another chair and another ruler. They put the chairs on top of each other. They put the rulers on top of the chairs. They climbed on the rulers. They reached for the jar. They got the jar.
+
+They were happy. They opened the jar. They smelled the cookies. They were warm and sweet. They took out the cookies. They ate the cookies.
+
+But they ate too many cookies. They felt sick. They had a tummy ache. They cried. They wished they did not eat the cookies. They were sorry. They learned a lesson. They did not want to measure the jar again.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play near the pond. They saw many ducks and fish in the water, and sometimes a big white swan. The swan was very pretty, but also very mean. It would hiss and flap its wings at anyone who came too close.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben found a shiny red ball near the pond. They both wanted to play with it, but they did not want to share. They started to quarrel over the ball, pulling and pushing each other. They did not see the swan watching them from the water.
+
+The swan did not like the noise and the fuss. It decided to teach the children a lesson. It swam quietly behind them, and then jumped out of the water. It bit Lily's arm and Ben's leg, making them cry out in pain. It took the ball in its beak and flew away.
+
+Lily and Ben were very scared and sorry. They ran away from the pond, leaving behind the ball and their friendship. They were wet and hurt and sad. They wished they had not quarreled over the ball, and had been kind to each other and the swan. But it was too late. The swan had won.
+Lily and Ben love to play sport. They like to run and kick and throw. They have a big ball and a small net in the yard. They play sport every day after school.
+
+One day, it starts to rain. Lily and Ben are sad. They cannot play sport in the rain. They go inside and look out the window. The rain is loud and wet. They wish it would stop.
+
+Mom sees them and smiles. She has a surprise for them. She brings them a big tray of cookies. They are warm and sweet and delicious. Lily and Ben are happy. They thank Mom and eat the cookies. They share with their dog, Spot, who wags his tail.
+
+The rain stops and the sun comes out. Lily and Ben see a rainbow in the sky. They are excited. They put on their shoes and grab their ball and net. They run outside and play sport again. They have fun and laugh. They love sport and cookies and rainbows.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look!" Anna shouted. "We made a snowman!"
+
+Mommy came out of the house. She smiled and hugged Anna and Ben. "You did a great job, my darlings. He looks very friendly."
+
+"Can we give him a glove, Mommy?" Ben asked. "His hand is cold."
+
+Mommy looked at her gloves. She had only one pair. She needed them to keep her own hands warm. She thought for a moment.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, but I don't have an available glove for the snowman. I only have two gloves, and I need them both. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was a little sad, but he understood. He did not want Mommy to be cold.
+
+"Maybe we can find something else for the snowman's hand," Anna suggested. "How about a leaf? Or a stick?"
+
+"That's a good idea, Anna," Mommy said. "Let's look around and see what we can find."
+
+They searched the yard for something to give the snowman. They found a big leaf that was still green. They also found a stick that looked like a finger.
+
+"Here, Mommy, help us," Anna said. "We found a leaf and a stick for the snowman."
+
+Mommy helped them put the leaf and the stick on the snowman's hand. They looked at their snowman. He looked very funny.
+
+"Wow, he looks great!" Ben exclaimed. "He has a leaf glove and a stick finger!"
+
+They laughed and hugged their snowman. They were very proud of their snowman. They thanked Mommy for helping them.
+
+"You're welcome, my darlings," Mommy said. "You are very creative and kind. I love you very much."
+
+They said they loved Mommy too. They went inside the house to have some hot chocolate. They looked out the window and waved at their snowman. He seemed to wave back. They smiled and drank their hot chocolate. They were very happy.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the creek near their house. They saw some frogs and fish in the water. They wanted to catch them, but they were too fast.
+
+"Let's joke the frogs," Ben said. "We can make funny noises and scare them."
+
+Lily nodded. She thought it was a good idea. They hid behind a bush and waited for a frog to come. When they saw one, they jumped out and shouted, "Ribbit, ribbit!"
+
+The frog was scared and jumped away. Lily and Ben laughed. They thought it was funny.
+
+They did the same thing to another frog, and another, and another. They did not see that the frogs were sad and angry. They did not see that the fish were watching them.
+
+One of the fish had an idea. He swam to the other fish and whispered something. They nodded and swam away. They came back with some mud and sticks. They waited for Lily and Ben to joke another frog.
+
+When Lily and Ben shouted, "Ribbit, ribbit!" the fish threw the mud and sticks at them. They hit them on their heads and clothes. Lily and Ben were surprised and dirty. They did not laugh. They cried.
+
+The frogs and the fish laughed. They thought it was funny.
+
+Lily and Ben ran away from the creek. They felt ashamed. They knew they had been mean to the frogs. They said they were sorry and never joked them again. They learned to be kind to the animals.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small kite. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a man in a green suit. He has a badge and a hat. He is a soldier. He is very kind. He smiles and waves at them.
+
+"Hello, children," he says. "Do you know what I do?"
+
+Sara and Tom shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+"I help to keep our nation safe and clean," he says. "I work with other soldiers. We fight bad people who want to hurt us. We also help people who need food and water and medicine."
+
+Sara and Tom are amazed. They think the soldier is very brave and good.
+
+"Wow," Sara says. "That is very important. Thank you for your work."
+
+"Yes, thank you," Tom says. "You are a hero."
+
+The soldier blushes. He is happy. He gives them a hug.
+
+"Thank you for your words," he says. "You are very sweet. You make me proud of our nation. You are the future. I hope you grow up to be smart and kind and strong."
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They feel proud too. They want to be like the soldier. They say goodbye and go back to play. They have a new friend. They have learned something new. They have a lot to be thankful for.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with their food. They try to balance broccoli on their forks. They make a tower of green trees.
+
+"Look, Mia, I have four trees on my fork!" Tim says.
+
+"That is good, Tim, but I have five!" Mia says. She shows him her fork.
+
+They laugh and have fun. But then, Mom comes in. She sees the mess on the table. She is not happy.
+
+"Tim and Mia, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are wasting food. Broccoli is not a toy. It is good for you. You have to eat it, not play with it."
+
+"But Mom, broccoli is ugly and yucky!" Tim says. "We do not like it. We like pizza and cake."
+
+Mia nods. She agrees with Tim.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She has an idea. She goes to the kitchen and comes back with a plate. On the plate, there is a big smiley face made of broccoli, cheese and tomato sauce.
+
+"Look, kids, this is broccoli pizza!" Mom says. "It is yummy and healthy. You can eat the smiley face and make it happy. Do you want to try?"
+
+Tim and Mia look at the plate. They see the smiley face. It looks funny and nice. They are curious.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will try," Tim says.
+
+"Me too," Mia says.
+
+They take a bite of the broccoli pizza. They are surprised. It is not ugly and yucky. It is tasty and cheesy. They like it.
+
+"Wow, Mom, this is good!" Tim says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, this is fun!" Mia says.
+
+They eat the broccoli pizza and make the smiley face disappear. They are full and happy. Mom smiles and hugs them.
+
+"You are welcome, kids," Mom says. "I am glad you like broccoli pizza. You are smart and brave. You tried something new. And you learned to balance broccoli on your forks. That is a good skill. Maybe you can be chefs when you grow up."
+
+Tim and Mia giggle. They like Mom's idea. They hug her back.
+
+"Maybe, Mom, maybe," they say.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "You can go with me."
+
+"No, thank you. It is too high. I like the swings better." Ben says.
+
+Anna runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top and looks down. She sees a shiny thing on the ground. It is a red balloon.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "I want that balloon. It is so pretty."
+
+She slides down fast and runs to the balloon. She tries to reach it, but it is too far. She jumps and stretches, but she cannot touch it.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Anna says. "I need that balloon. It is mine."
+
+Ben walks to Anna and sees the balloon. He is envious. He likes balloons too. He thinks they are fun and make a funny sound when you squeeze them.
+
+"Anna, that balloon is not yours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they lost it. We should not take it." Ben says.
+
+"But I want it. It is so pretty. Please, help me reach it." Anna says.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not want to help Anna. He thinks she is greedy and rude. He walks away and goes back to the swings.
+
+Anna is sad and angry. She cries and stamps her feet. She still wants the balloon. She does not understand why Ben does not help her. She does not like Ben anymore. She thinks he is mean and selfish.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Lily wears a pink blouse and Ben wears a blue shirt. They are happy and have fun.
+
+But then, a big dog comes to the park. It is gray and has long hair. It barks and runs after Lily and Ben. They are scared and scream.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben shout.
+
+The dog's owner hears them and runs to the park. He sees the dog chasing the children. He calls the dog and holds its leash.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he says. "He is friendly, he just wants to play. He won't hurt you."
+
+Lily and Ben stop screaming and look at the dog. The dog wags its tail and licks the owner's face. He looks nice and not mean.
+
+"Can we pet him?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, his name is Max. He likes children. But you have to be gentle and calm." the owner says.
+
+Lily and Ben go near the dog and touch his fur. It is soft and warm. The dog sniffs them and gives them kisses. They giggle and smile.
+
+"See, he is a good dog. He just ran because he was excited." the owner says.
+
+"OK, we are not scared anymore. He is a good dog." Lily and Ben say.
+
+They play with the dog and the owner for a while. Then they say goodbye and thank you. They run back to their parents and tell them about the dog. They are happy and have fun.
+Sam and Lily are playing in the garden. They have many toys and sticks and stones. They want to build something fun.
+
+"Let's build a house for our dolls!" says Lily. She picks up a big box and puts it on the grass. "This can be the wall."
+
+"Good idea!" says Sam. He finds a pot and puts it on top of the box. "This can be the roof."
+
+They look at their house and smile. They put their dolls inside and pretend they are having a tea party.
+
+But then, a big dog comes running. He sees the pot and thinks it is a toy. He jumps on the box and knocks it over. He grabs the pot and runs away.
+
+"Hey, stop!" shouts Sam. He chases the dog, but he is too fast.
+
+"Oh no!" cries Lily. She sees her house and her dolls ruined. She feels sad and angry.
+
+Sam comes back. He sees Lily crying. He feels sorry and hugs her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. The dog was bad. He took our roof."
+
+"It's okay, Sam. We can build another house. But we need a new roof. A thick roof. A roof that the dog can't take."
+
+They look around and see a big board. It is thick and heavy. They drag it to the grass and put it on another box.
+
+"Look, Lily. This is our new roof. It is thick and strong. The dog can't take it."
+
+Lily smiles and wipes her tears. She puts her dolls inside and pretends they are having a tea party.
+
+They play happily and forget about the dog. They are proud of their house. They like to build.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many pebbles. They want to climb the hill and find the best pebbles.
+
+They hold hands and start to climb. Anna sings a song. She sings, "We are going up, up, up, to find the best pebbles. We are going up, up, up, to have some fun." Ben likes the song. He sings with Anna.
+
+They reach the top of the hill. They see many pebbles. Some are big, some are small, some are shiny, some are dull. They look for the best pebbles. Anna finds a pebble that is round and smooth and blue. She likes it very much. She shows it to Ben. She says, "Look, Ben, I found the best pebble. It is round and smooth and blue. It is like the sky. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben looks at the pebble. He likes it too. He wants it for himself. He says, "Yes, I like it. Give it to me. It is mine." Anna says, "No, it is mine. I found it first. You can find another pebble." Ben says, "No, I want this pebble. It is the best pebble. Give it to me now." Anna says, "No, no, no. Go away. Leave me alone."
+
+Ben is angry. He pushes Anna. Anna falls down. She drops the pebble. The pebble rolls down the hill. It hits a rock. It breaks into two pieces. Anna cries. She says, "Ben, you are bad. You pushed me. You broke my pebble. You are not my friend." Ben feels sorry. He says, "Anna, I am sorry. I did not mean to push you. I did not mean to break your pebble. I was selfish. Can we be friends again?" Anna says, "No, we cannot be friends. You hurt me. You hurt my pebble. Go away. I do not want to see you." Ben cries too. He says, "Anna, please, please, please. Forgive me. I will find you another pebble. I will sing you another song. I will be nice to you. Please, be my friend." Anna says, "No, no, no. It is too late. You cannot fix what you did. You cannot fix my pebble. You cannot fix my heart. Go away. Go away. Go away."
+
+Anna and Ben are not friends anymore. They go down the hill. They go home. They are sad. They do not play in the park anymore. They do not sing anymore. They do not have fun anymore. The end.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy cars and rockets. They had a big box full of them. One day, they decided to have a race. They each picked a car and a rocket. Tim had a red car and a blue rocket. Sam had a yellow car and a green rocket.
+
+They lined up their cars at the start of the track. They counted to three and zoomed off. They were very fast and lively. They made loud noises as they raced. They wanted to win. They reached the end of the track at the same time. They both grabbed their rockets and aimed at each other's car. They said, "Ready, set, fire!"
+
+They pressed the buttons on their rockets. The rockets flew out of their hands and towards the cars. But something went wrong. The rockets did not hit the cars. They missed them and kept going. They flew past the track and into the window of the house. They hit the vase on the table. The vase broke into pieces. The water and the flowers spilled on the floor.
+
+Tim and Sam heard a loud crash. They looked at the window and saw the mess. They gasped. They knew they were in trouble. They heard their mom's voice. She sounded angry. She said, "What was that noise? Who broke my vase? Tim, Sam, come here right now!"
+
+Tim and Sam dropped their cars and rockets. They ran to the house. They were scared. They said, "Sorry, mom, we didn't mean to. We were playing with our rockets and they went too far. We were having a race and we wanted to fight. We didn't know they would break the vase."
+
+Their mom looked at them and shook her head. She said, "You boys are very naughty. You should not play with rockets inside the house. You could have hurt yourselves or someone else. And you should not fight with each other. You are best friends. You should share and be nice. Now, you have to clean up this mess and say sorry to each other. And no more rockets for a week. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again. We love you and we love each other." They hugged their mom and each other. They went to clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else next time. Something that would not break the vase.
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to play pirate. They put on hats and scarves and took a big box. The box was their ship. They put some toys and books in the box. They said, "Ahoy, matey! We are pirates!"
+
+They pushed the box to the park. They saw a big hill. They said, "Look, there is an island! Maybe there is treasure there!" They left the box and jogged to the hill. They pretended to dig and find gold and jewels. They said, "Wow, we are rich! We are the best pirates!"
+
+But then, they heard a loud bark. They turned and saw a big dog. The dog ran to their box. The dog wanted to play with their toys and books. The dog tore the box and made a mess. Tom and Lily said, "Oh no, our ship! Our treasure!" They were scared of the dog.
+
+They jogged back to the box. They tried to shoo the dog away. They said, "Go away, dog! This is our ship! This is our treasure!" But the dog did not listen. The dog wagged its tail and licked their faces. The dog was friendly. Tom and Lily said, "Oh, maybe you are not a bad dog. Maybe you want to be our friend."
+
+They looked at the sky. It was clear and blue. They said, "Maybe we can share our ship and our treasure. Maybe you can be our pirate dog." They gave the dog a hat and a scarf. They said, "Welcome to our crew, dog! We are pirates!" They laughed and played together. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They see many things that move: birds, dogs, cars, swings. They like to move too. They run, jump, slide, and laugh.
+
+One day, they see something new in the park. It is big and brown and furry. It has four legs and a long tail. It looks like a dog, but it is not a dog. It is a wild animal. Tim and Mia are curious. They want to see it closer.
+
+They walk slowly to the wild animal. It sees them and stops moving. It looks at them with big eyes. It makes a noise. It sounds like a growl. Tim and Mia are scared. They stop walking. They do not know what to do.
+
+A man comes to the park. He has a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. He knows about wild animals. He sees Tim and Mia and the wild animal. He calls to them.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do not move. Stay where you are. That is a bear. It is not polite to bother a bear. It can be dangerous. I will help you. I have a tranquilizer gun. It will make the bear sleep. Then I will take it back to the forest. It will be happier there."
+
+Tim and Mia listen to the park ranger. They do not move. They are polite. They watch as the park ranger shoots the tranquilizer gun. The bear falls asleep. The park ranger puts it in a big cage. He puts the cage in his truck. He waves to Tim and Mia.
+
+"Bye, kids. Thank you for being polite. You did the right thing. Remember, do not go near wild animals. They belong in the forest. You belong in the park. Have fun and be safe."
+
+Tim and Mia wave back. They are happy. They learned something new. They go back to playing in the park. They see many things that move, but they do not bother them. They are polite.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile on her face. Sara always took Lily with her wherever she went.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom went to visit Grandma. Grandma was very happy to see them and gave them hugs and cookies. Sara saw that Grandma had a big chair in her living room. It was soft and fluffy and had a cushion with flowers on it. Sara thought it was a nice chair for Lily to sit on.
+
+"Can I put Lily on your chair, Grandma?" Sara asked.
+
+"Of course, dear. Lily can sit on my chair. It is a very cozy chair," Grandma said.
+
+Sara smiled and placed Lily on the chair. She kissed her doll and said, "You stay here, Lily. I will be back soon."
+
+Sara and her mom went to the kitchen with Grandma to help her make some tea. Sara liked to help Grandma. She stirred the sugar, poured the milk and carried the cups. She was a good helper.
+
+But when they came back to the living room, Sara saw something that made her very confused. Lily was not on the chair anymore. Instead, there was a big cat on the chair. The cat was black and white and had yellow eyes. It was sleeping on the cushion and looked very comfortable.
+
+Sara gasped and ran to the chair. She looked around for Lily, but she could not see her. She felt scared and sad. Where was her doll?
+
+"Grandma, where is Lily?" Sara cried. "There is a cat on your chair!"
+
+Grandma looked at the chair and laughed. She picked up the cat and said, "This is my cat, Snowy. He likes to sleep on my chair. He is very friendly. Don't worry, Sara. Lily is not gone. She is right here."
+
+Grandma pointed to a small table next to the chair. There was Lily, sitting on a book. She still had her long hair, her pink dress and her smile on her face. She looked happy and safe.
+
+Sara felt relieved and happy. She ran to the table and hugged Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I thought you were lost. I love you very much. You belong with me."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "That's right, Sara. Lily belongs with you. And you belong with us. We love you very much, too."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "I love you, Grandma. And I love you, Mom. And I love you, Snowy. You are all very nice."
+
+They all hugged and laughed. They sat on the chair and the couch and drank tea and ate cookies. They had a very good time. Sara was very happy. She had her doll, her family and her new friend. She felt very cozy.
+Anna likes to skip. She skips to school, she skips in the park, she skips at home. She is very good at skipping. She can skip fast, slow, high, low, and with one foot or two.
+
+But Anna does not like to read. She thinks reading is hard and boring. She does not know many words, and she gets stuck on the big ones. She does not like to write, either. She does not like to hold the pencil, and she does not like to make the letters.
+
+Anna's mom and dad want her to learn to read and write. They say it is important and fun. They find a tutor for Anna. A tutor is a person who helps you learn. The tutor's name is Lisa. She comes to Anna's house twice a week.
+
+The first time Lisa comes, Anna does not want to see her. She hides under the bed and says she is sick. Lisa is very nice and patient. She does not get mad at Anna. She talks to her softly and gently. She tells her that she is here to help her, not to make her sad. She says that reading and writing can be like skipping, if you practice and have fun.
+
+Lisa shows Anna some books with pictures and words. She says that the words are like sounds that you can make with your mouth. She says that the pictures can help you guess what the words mean. She says that the letters are like shapes that you can draw with your pencil. She says that the shapes can help you remember the sounds.
+
+Anna is curious. She comes out from under the bed and looks at the books. She likes the pictures. They are bright and colorful. She sees a picture of a cat, a dog, a bird, and a fish. She knows these words. She says them out loud. Lisa smiles and praises her. She says that she is very smart and brave.
+
+Anna feels happy. She wants to learn more words. She asks Lisa to teach her. Lisa is happy, too. She says that they can start with some easy words that rhyme. She says that rhyme means that the words sound the same at the end. She says that skip rhymes with hip, lip, dip, and tip. She points to the words and the pictures in the book. She says them slowly and clearly. She asks Anna to repeat them.
+
+Anna tries to say the words. She looks at the letters and the pictures. She makes the sounds with her mouth. She says skip, hip, lip, dip, and tip. She says them faster and faster. She says them with a smile. She thinks they are funny and fun. She likes to rhyme.
+
+Lisa claps and cheers. She says that Anna is doing great. She says that she is proud of her. She says that they can play a game with the words. She says that they can skip and say the words at the same time. She says that it will be fun and easy.
+
+Anna likes the idea. She likes to skip and she likes to rhyme. She thinks that Lisa is nice and fun. She thinks that reading and writing are not so hard and boring. She thinks that they are like skipping, if you practice and have fun.
+
+She takes Lisa's hand and they go to the backyard. It is not dark yet. The sun is still shining. They skip and say the words. They skip and rhyme. They skip and laugh. They have fun. Anna is happy. She likes her tutor. She likes to learn.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They like to pretend they are animals. Lily is a rabbit and Tom is a wolf. Tom runs after Lily and tries to catch her. Lily hops and dodges and laughs.
+
+Lily sees a big tree. She runs to the tree and climbs up. Tom follows her but he cannot climb. He stays at the bottom and growls. Lily sticks out her tongue and says, "You cannot catch me, wolf!"
+
+Tom hears a noise. He looks around and sees a real wolf. The real wolf is far away, but it is coming closer. It has big teeth and sharp claws. Tom is scared. He barks and whines.
+
+Lily hears Tom. She looks down and sees the real wolf too. She is scared too. She calls, "Help, help, wolf!"
+
+Dad hears Lily and Tom. He comes out of the house. He sees the real wolf and grabs a stick. He runs to the garden and shouts, "Go away, wolf!"
+
+The real wolf sees Dad. It is afraid of Dad and his stick. It turns around and runs away. It goes back to the distant woods.
+
+Dad reaches the garden. He puts down the stick and hugs Lily and Tom. He says, "You are safe, my little ones. I scared away the wolf."
+
+Lily and Tom hug Dad back. They say, "Thank you, Dad. You are brave and strong."
+
+Dad smiles and says, "You are welcome, my little ones. You are smart and fast. But next time, do not play with wolves. They are dangerous."
+
+Lily and Tom nod and say, "OK, Dad. We will not play with wolves. We will play with something else."
+
+They go back to the house and have some cookies and milk. They are happy and safe.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big hill with white powder on it. They wanted to play with the powder, so they ran up the hill.
+
+"Look, mom, it's snow!" Ben said. He made a ball with the powder and threw it at Lily.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She made a ball too and threw it back at Ben. The powder was cold and wet, but it was fun.
+
+They had a snowball fight, and they laughed and shouted. Mom watched them and smiled. She thought they were very brave, because it was very cold.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a thunder. They looked at the sky, and they saw a big flash. It was a lightning. The lightning strike a tree near the hill, and the tree caught fire.
+
+"Wow, that's unusual!" Ben said. He had never seen a lightning before.
+
+"Mom, what's that?" Lily asked. She was scared of the fire.
+
+Mom quickly took their hands and said, "That's a storm, and it's dangerous. We have to go home now, before it gets worse."
+
+They ran down the hill, and they got in the car. Mom drove them home, and they were safe. They still had some powder on their clothes, and they looked like snowmen.
+
+They told dad about their adventure, and he hugged them and said, "You are very lucky, and very brave. But next time, don't play with the powder when there is a storm."
+Lily and her mother were in the big shop. Lily saw a pretty doll with a pink dress and blue eyes. She wanted the doll very much. She pulled her mother's hand and pointed at the doll.
+
+"Please, mother, can I have the doll?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, we have no money for the doll. We need to buy food and clothes," her mother said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want food and clothes. She wanted the doll. She saw a man with a big bag near the doll. He was not looking. Lily had an idea. She whispered to her mother.
+
+"Mother, I have a plan. You go and talk to the man. I will take the doll and put it in your bag. He will not see. Then we can go home with the doll."
+
+Her mother looked at Lily with big eyes. She was shocked and scared. She shook her head.
+
+"No, Lily, that is very bad. That is stealing. We cannot take things that are not ours. That is wrong. The man will be angry. The shop people will be angry. They will call the police. We will be in trouble. You do not want that, do you?"
+
+Lily did not listen to her mother. She thought her mother was silly and mean. She wanted the doll more than anything. She waited for her mother to look away. Then she ran to the doll and grabbed it. She tried to put it in her mother's bag. But the doll was too big. It did not fit. The doll's head stuck out of the bag. The doll's delicate dress got torn. The doll's blue eyes looked sad.
+
+The man saw Lily. He saw his doll. He saw his bag. He was very angry. He shouted at Lily.
+
+"Hey, you little thief! What are you doing with my doll? Give it back to me! You have ruined it!"
+
+He snatched the doll from Lily. He pushed her to the ground. Lily fell and hurt her knee. She cried out loud.
+
+Her mother heard Lily. She saw what happened. She ran to Lily. She hugged her and said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, sorry. I am so sorry. You should not have done that. That was very bad. You have made a big mistake. You have hurt yourself and the man and the doll. You have made us all sad. You have to say sorry too."
+
+Lily looked at her mother. She looked at the man. She looked at the doll. She felt sorry. She felt ashamed. She felt afraid. She whispered sorry.
+
+"Sorry, mother. Sorry, man. Sorry, doll."
+
+But it was too late. The shop people came. They saw what Lily did. They called the police. The police came. They took Lily and her mother away. They did not let them go home. They did not let them have the doll. They did not let them be happy. They had a bad ending.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+They took turns to go up the tree. Lily went first. She found a branch that was good for sitting. She saw a bird with a red bow on its head. The bird was singing a pretty song. Lily smiled and said hello to the bird.
+
+"Hello, little girl," the bird said. "Do you like my bow? It is a gift from my friend. He lives in another tree. He is very kind and smart."
+
+"I like your bow very much," Lily said. "It is very bright and beautiful. Your friend is very nice to give you a bow. Can I see your friend?"
+
+"Of course you can," the bird said. "He is in that tree over there. He is waiting for me. We like to sing together. It makes us happy and peaceful."
+
+Lily looked at the other tree. She saw another bird with a blue bow on its head. The bird was waving to the red bird. Lily waved back and said thank you to the red bird.
+
+"Thank you for talking to me," Lily said. "You are very friendly and sweet. I hope you have a good day with your friend."
+
+"Thank you, too," the red bird said. "You are very polite and curious. I hope you have fun with your friend, too."
+
+Lily climbed down the tree and told Ben what she saw and heard. Ben was amazed and excited. He wanted to see the birds and their bows, too. He climbed up the tree and found the red bird. The red bird welcomed him and introduced him to the blue bird. Ben said hello and complimented their bows. The birds thanked him and invited him to sing with them. Ben agreed and sang a happy song. Lily joined them from below and sang along. They all had a wonderful time in the park.
+Lily and Max liked to play on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they saw big ships on the water. They wondered where the ships were going and what they had inside.
+
+One day, they saw a very impressive ship. It was huge and shiny and had many flags. It made a loud sound like a horn. Lily and Max ran to the edge of the water and waved at the ship.
+
+"Hello, ship!" they shouted. "Where are you going?"
+
+The ship did not answer, but it flashed a light at them. Lily and Max were excited. They thought the ship was saying hello back.
+
+"Let's count the flags on the ship," Lily said. "Maybe we can learn something about it."
+
+"OK," Max agreed. "I'll start. One, two, three..."
+
+They counted the flags together. There were many different colors and shapes. They did not know what they meant, but they liked to look at them.
+
+They counted until they reached twenty. Then they stopped. The ship was too far away to see the flags clearly.
+
+"Wow, that was a lot of flags," Max said. "I wonder what they mean."
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "But maybe we can ask someone later. Or maybe we can find a book about ships and flags."
+
+They decided to do that. They said goodbye to the ship and went back to their sand castle. They were happy. They had seen a very impressive ship and learned to count to twenty.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus is colorful. It has many pictures on it. The bus stops near the park.
+
+"Where is the bus going?" Lila asks.
+
+"Let's find out!" Ben says. They run to the bus. They see a sign on the bus. The sign says "Temple Tour".
+
+"What is a temple?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a big house with many rooms," Ben says.
+
+"Can we go and see?" Lila asks.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Ben says. They get on the bus. The bus driver smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Are you ready for the temple tour?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, we are!" Lila and Ben say.
+
+The bus starts to move. It speeds along the road. Lila and Ben look out the window. They see many things. They see cars, trees, shops, and people. They see the sky, the sun, and the clouds.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says.
+
+Soon, the bus reaches a big gate. The gate is colorful too. It has many shapes and patterns on it. The bus driver stops the bus.
+
+"We are here. This is the temple," he says.
+
+Lila and Ben get off the bus. They follow the bus driver. He leads them to a big building. The building is colorful too. It has many statues, paintings, and flowers on it.
+
+"This is the temple. It is a special place where people come to pray, meditate, and learn," the bus driver says.
+
+Lila and Ben look around. They see many people. Some people are sitting, some are standing, some are walking. Some people are smiling, some are quiet, some are singing.
+
+"What are they doing?" Lila asks.
+
+"They are doing different things to show their respect and love for the temple and the gods," the bus driver says.
+
+Lila and Ben are curious. They want to learn more. They ask the bus driver many questions. He answers them kindly. He shows them different parts of the temple. He tells them stories and legends. He teaches them some words and songs.
+
+Lila and Ben have a great time. They learn a lot. They make new friends. They enjoy the temple tour. They thank the bus driver for taking them.
+
+"Thank you for taking us to the temple. It is a beautiful and wonderful place," Lila says.
+
+"Yes, thank you. It is a colorful and interesting place," Ben says.
+
+"You are welcome, little ones. I am glad you liked it. Come back anytime," the bus driver says.
+
+He takes them back to the park. They wave goodbye to him. They run to their parents. They tell them about their adventure.
+
+"We went to the temple. It was amazing!" Lila says.
+
+"We saw many things. It was fun!" Ben says.
+
+Their parents are happy. They hug them and praise them.
+
+"You are very brave and smart. We are proud of you," they say.
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They are happy too. They had a wonderful day. They will always remember the temple tour.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big black dog in the park. The dog is cool. He has long fur and a shiny collar. Tom and Sam want to pet the dog.
+
+They run to the dog and say, "Hi, dog! Can we play with you?" The dog barks and wags his tail. He likes Tom and Sam. He lets them touch his fur and his collar. He licks their faces and makes them laugh.
+
+But then, a man comes to the park. He is the dog's owner. He is angry. He yells at Tom and Sam. He says, "Get away from my dog! He is not for you! He is mine!" He raises his hand and tries to hit Tom and Sam.
+
+The dog sees the man. He does not like the man. He growls and shows his teeth. He jumps in front of Tom and Sam. He protects them from the man. He says, "No, man! You are bad! You cannot hurt my friends! They are nice!"
+
+The man is scared. He runs away from the dog. He leaves the park. Tom and Sam are safe. They hug the dog and say, "Thank you, dog! You are brave! You are our hero!" The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. He says, "You are welcome, friends! You are kind! You are my family!"
+
+The moral of the story is: Be nice to animals. They can be your friends. They can help you when you are in trouble. Do not be like the bad man. He is mean to animals. He is lonely and sad.
+Lily was a daughter who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress and long hair. Lily took Anna everywhere with her.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought Anna with her, of course. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide with Anna in her hand.
+
+"Can I go on the slide, mom?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful," her mom said. "And hold on to Anna."
+
+Lily nodded and climbed up the stairs. She was very excited. She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She felt the wind in her face and laughed.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Anna slipped out of her hand and flew in the air. Lily watched in horror as Anna landed on the grass, far away from her.
+
+"Anna!" she cried. She got off the slide and ran to get her doll. But before she could reach her, another girl picked up Anna.
+
+"Hey, this is my doll!" the other girl said. She had short hair and a blue shirt. She looked at Anna and smiled.
+
+"No, it's not! It's mine!" Lily said. She felt upset and angry. She wanted her doll back.
+
+The other girl shook her head. "No, it's mine now. I found it. Finders keepers."
+
+Lily didn't know what that meant, but she knew it was wrong. She tried to grab Anna from the other girl, but the other girl was stronger. She pulled Anna away from Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Give it back!" Lily shouted. She started to cry.
+
+"Stop it!" the other girl said. She looked scared and annoyed.
+
+Lily and the other girl were making a lot of noise. Their moms and dads heard them and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What's going on here?" Lily's mom asked.
+
+"She took my doll!" Lily said, pointing at the other girl.
+
+"No, I didn't! I found it!" the other girl said, holding Anna tight.
+
+Lily's mom looked at the doll and recognized it. She knew it was Lily's. She looked at the other girl's mom and dad.
+
+"Is this your daughter's doll?" she asked.
+
+The other girl's mom and dad looked at the doll and shook their heads. They didn't know where it came from.
+
+"No, it's not. We've never seen it before," the other girl's dad said.
+
+"Then it must be Lily's. She brought it with her to the park," Lily's mom said.
+
+The other girl's mom and dad nodded. They understood. They looked at their daughter and spoke to her.
+
+"Honey, this is not your doll. It belongs to Lily. You have to give it back to her," the other girl's mom said.
+
+"But I like it. It's pretty," the other girl said.
+
+"I know, but it's not yours. You can't keep something that is not yours. That's not nice," the other girl's dad said.
+
+The other girl looked at Anna and then at Lily. She saw that Lily was crying and sad. She felt sorry for her. She realized that she was wrong. She decided to surrender.
+
+"Okay, fine. Here, you can have it," she said. She gave Anna back to Lily.
+
+Lily stopped crying and smiled. She took Anna and hugged her. She was happy to have her doll back.
+
+"Thank you," she said to the other girl.
+
+The other girl smiled back. She felt better too.
+
+"You're welcome," she said.
+
+Lily's mom and dad and the other girl's mom and dad were proud of their daughters. They praised them for being polite and sharing.
+
+"Why don't you play together?" Lily's mom suggested.
+
+Lily and the other girl looked at each other and nodded. They decided to be friends.
+
+They went to the swings and took turns pushing each other. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about their fight and enjoyed the park.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that it's better to surrender than to fight, and that it's more fun to share than to keep. They learned that dolls are not as important as friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom with the laundry. Mom gives them a big basket of clothes. She says, "Can you sort the clothes by color? Put the white clothes here, and the colored clothes there."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and start to work. They pick up each piece of clothes and say its name. "This is a shirt. This is a sock. This is a dress." They put them in the right pile. They have fun naming the clothes.
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of Lily and Ben. They are good helpers. She says, "You are doing a great job, Lily and Ben. Thank you for helping me with the laundry."
+
+Lily and Ben look up and smile. They are happy to hear Mom's words. They say, "You are welcome, Mom. We like to help you with the laundry." They give Mom a hug and go back to work. They finish sorting the clothes by color. They are proud of themselves. They have done a good job.
+Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big storm. The sky is dark and the wind is strong. They see flashes of light and hear booms of sound. They are scared.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asks.
+
+"That is lightning and thunder," Ben says. "Lightning is a zigzag of fire in the sky. Thunder is the sound it makes."
+
+"Why does it do that?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "But I know it can strike things and make them burn. We have to be careful."
+
+They move away from the window and hug each other. They wish the storm would go away.
+
+Then they see their blocks on the floor. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's make something useful with the blocks," Sara says.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+"Like a shelter," Sara says. "A shelter can protect us from the lightning and the thunder."
+
+They start to use the blocks to build a shelter. They make a roof and walls and a door. They use all the colors of the blocks. They work together and have fun.
+
+Soon they finish their shelter. They crawl inside and feel safe and cozy. They smile at each other.
+
+"We did it," Sara says.
+
+"We did it," Ben says.
+
+They hear the storm outside, but they are not scared anymore. They have their shelter and each other. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl and a spoon in the kitchen. They put some flour, sugar, eggs and milk in the bowl. They tried to stir the mix, but it was hard. They made a big mess on the table and the floor.

+They saw a jar of chocolate on the shelf. They thought it would make the cake yummy. They opened the jar and poured some chocolate in the bowl. They stirred some more, but the mix looked brown and lumpy. They wanted to taste it, but they were not sure.
+
+They heard Mom coming. They were scared. They hid the bowl under the sink. They ran to their room. They hoped Mom would not see the mess.
+
+Mom came in the kitchen. She smelled something bad. She saw the filthy table and the floor. She looked under the sink. She found the bowl of brown and lumpy mix. She tasted it. She spat it out. She was angry.
+
+She called Tom and Sue. They came slowly. They looked at Mom. They looked at the bowl. They knew they were in trouble. They said they were sorry. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They did not know how.
+
+Mom sighed. She hugged Tom and Sue. She said she loved them. She said they should not make a cake without her. She said they should clean the mess. She said they should learn some new words. She said they should never use filthy, stir and taste in the same story again.
+Anna and Ben love to watch the trains. They live near the big tracks, where the trains go fast and loud. Sometimes they see trains with many cars, or trains with bright colors, or trains with funny shapes. They like to guess what the trains are carrying, or where they are going.
+
+One day, they see a very impressive train. It is long and shiny, and it has a big star on the front. It makes a loud whistle, and it goes very fast. Anna and Ben wave at the train, and they see people waving back from the windows. They wonder who they are, and where they are going.
+
+The train passes by, and Anna and Ben feel the wind and the noise. They are happy and excited. They want to see more trains like that. They ask their mom if they can go on a train someday. Their mom smiles and says maybe. She says trains are fun, but they are also expensive and far. She says they can read books about trains, or play with toy trains, or draw trains. She says they can use their imagination and pretend they are on a train.
+
+Anna and Ben like that idea. They run to their room, and they find their books and toys and crayons. They make a train out of boxes and pillows, and they pretend they are the people on the impressive train. They make whistle sounds, and they wave at each other. They have a lot of fun, and they learn new things about trains. They are happy and curious. They love to watch the trains.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big dog named Spot who was their best friend. Spot liked to run and jump and chase balls. He also liked to bark at the birds and the cats who came near the fence.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben found a big red apple on the ground. It looked delicious and shiny. They decided to share it and each took a bite. They smiled and said, "Yum, this is the best apple ever!"
+
+But Spot saw the apple and wanted some too. He ran towards Sara and Ben and tried to grab the apple from their hands. He was so fast and strong that he knocked them over and made them drop the apple. He picked it up with his mouth and ran away.
+
+Sara and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and said, "Spot, that was our apple! You are a bad dog! Give it back!"
+
+Spot did not listen. He ran to the fence and tried to jump over it. He wanted to eat the apple in peace. But the fence was too high and he got stuck. He hung from the fence with his legs in the air and the apple in his mouth. He whimpered and said, "Help, help, I am stuck!"
+
+Sara and Ben heard Spot's cry and ran to the fence. They saw him hanging and felt sorry for him. They forgot about the apple and said, "Spot, are you okay? Don't worry, we will save you!"
+
+They pulled Spot's legs and helped him get down from the fence. Spot dropped the apple and licked their faces. He said, "Thank you, thank you, you are good twins! I am sorry, I was greedy. You can have the apple back."
+
+Sara and Ben hugged Spot and said, "It's okay, Spot, we forgive you. You are still our best friend. But next time, please ask before you take our food."
+
+They picked up the apple and saw that it was still whole and clean. They decided to give Spot a piece and share the rest. They ate the apple together and said, "This is a delicious apple, but not as delicious as our friendship!"
+Anna and Ben are playing outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. Anna has a red scarf that she wants to put on the snowman.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a scarf for our snowman. It will keep him warm and cozy," Anna says.
+
+Ben nods and smiles. He likes the scarf. It is bright and clean. He helps Anna wrap the scarf around the snowman's neck.
+
+"There, now he looks happy," Anna says.
+
+But then, a big dog comes running towards them. It is barking and wagging its tail. It jumps on the snowman and knocks off his hat and nose. It grabs the scarf in its mouth and runs away.
+
+"Hey, stop, that's our scarf!" Ben shouts.
+
+Anna and Ben chase the dog, but it is too fast. They see it disappear behind a fence.
+
+"Oh no, our scarf is gone. And our snowman is ruined," Anna says. She feels sad and angry.
+
+Ben hugs her and tries to cheer her up.
+
+"Don't worry, Anna. We can make another snowman. And maybe we can find another scarf. Or we can cover him with something else. Like leaves or flowers or feathers," he says.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She wipes her tears and smiles.
+
+"OK, Ben. That sounds fun. Let's go and look for something to cover our snowman. Maybe we can make him even prettier than before," she says.
+
+They hold hands and run to the park. They look for things to cover their snowman. They have fun and forget about the dog and the scarf.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to watch TV after dinner. They watch funny shows and learn new things. They are smart kids.
+
+But today, Mom says they have to prepare for bed early. She says there is a big storm coming and the power might go out. She says they have to brush their teeth, put on their pajamas, and get their flashlights.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They want to watch TV more. They ask Mom, "Can we watch one more show, please?"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, sweeties, you have to prepare for bed now. The storm might be loud and scary. You need to be safe and cozy in your beds. Maybe we can watch TV tomorrow, if the power is back on."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They love Mom and they trust her. They do what she says. They prepare for bed. They hug Mom and say good night. They go to their room and turn on their flashlights. They snuggle in their beds and listen to the storm. They are not afraid. They are smart and brave. They close their eyes and dream of TV.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and stones. Anna found a shiny green thing in the dirt. She picked it up and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a green ball!" she said.
+
+Ben looked at the green thing and shook his head. "That is not a ball, Anna. That is an olive. Olives are food. You can eat them."
+
+Anna was curious. She wanted to try the olive. She put it in her mouth and bit it. She made a face and spat it out. The olive was bitter and sour. She did not like it at all.
+
+"Yuck, Ben, this is not food. This is bad. It hurts my mouth." she said.
+
+Ben laughed. He thought it was funny that Anna did not like the olive. He teased her and said, "You are silly, Anna. You do not know what olives are. Olives are good. I like them. You are a baby. You only like milk and cookies."
+
+Anna felt angry and sad. She did not like Ben laughing at her. She did not like being called a baby. She wanted to be big and smart like Ben. She started to weep. She cried loud and hard. She threw the olive on the ground and ran to the house.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Anna. He only wanted to have fun. He ran after her and called her name. "Anna, Anna, wait. I am sorry. I did not want to make you weep. Please come back. Please be my friend."
+
+Anna heard Ben calling her. She stopped and turned around. She saw Ben running to her. He looked fearful. He looked like he wanted to hug her and say sorry. Anna felt better. She wiped her tears and smiled. She ran to Ben and hugged him. She said, "It is okay, Ben. I am sorry too. I did not know what olives are. You can teach me. You are my friend."
+
+Ben smiled too. He hugged Anna and said, "I am sorry too, Anna. I did not want to tease you. You can teach me too. You are my friend."
+
+They went back to the garden. They played and laughed. They did not eat any more olives. They ate some grapes and apples instead. They were happy.
+Lily and her mom moved to a new house. Lily was nervous. She did not know anyone here. She missed her old friends and her old room.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's unpack your things," mom said. She gave Lily a big box. "This is your stand. You can put your books and toys on it."
+
+Lily opened the box. She saw her stand. It was blue and white, her favorite colors. She smiled. She liked her stand. She carried it to her new room.
+
+She put the stand next to her bed. She unpacked her books and toys. She arranged them on the stand. She saw her teddy bear, her doll, and her puzzle. She hugged them. She felt better.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. She went to see who it was. She saw a girl with curly hair and a big smile. She had a ball in her hand.
+
+"Hi, I'm Mia. I live next door. Do you want to play with me?" the girl asked.
+
+Lily was shy. She did not know what to say.
+
+Mom came to the door. She smiled at the girl. "Hi, Mia. I'm Lily's mom. We just moved here. Lily, this is your new friend. Why don't you go and play with her?"
+
+Lily looked at mom. Mom nodded. Lily looked at Mia. Mia looked nice. Lily nodded.
+
+"Okay," Lily said.
+
+She took her teddy bear and followed Mia. They went to the yard. They played with the ball. They laughed and talked. Lily was not nervous anymore. She was happy. She had a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are sister and brother. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. Mom and Dad are not happy when they fight. They say, "Share and be nice to each other."
+
+One day, Anna and Ben find a big box of crayons. They want to draw pictures with them. But there are not enough crayons for both of them. Anna grabs the red crayon and Ben grabs the blue crayon. They pull and tug and yell. The crayons break and fall on the floor.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to see what is wrong. They see the broken crayons and the angry faces. They say, "Stop fighting! You are making a mess and hurting each other. You need to learn how to share and take turns."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry and sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We don't want to fight. We want to draw pictures." Mom and Dad say, "It's okay. We love you. But you need to learn how to play together. Why don't you try to draw a picture together? You can use different colors and make something beautiful."
+
+Anna and Ben agree to try. They pick up the crayons and sit on the floor. They draw a big sun with yellow and orange. They draw a green grass and a blue sky. They draw a house with a red roof and a brown door. They draw a family with four people and a dog. They smile and show their picture to Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad are proud and happy. They say, "Wow, what a lovely picture! You did a great job! You learned how to share and take turns. You learned how to work together. You learned how to be calm and kind. You are a good sister and brother." Anna and Ben hug Mom and Dad and say, "Thank you. We love you. We love our picture. We love our sister and brother." They put their picture on the wall and play with their toys and books. They are calm and happy.
+Lily liked to read books with many words. She had a big book with many words and what they mean. It was her dictionary. She liked to learn new words and use them.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted to play with him, so she walked up to him and said, "Hello, my name is Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The boy looked at her and said, "Go away, you are rude. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Lily was surprised and sad. She did not know why he said that. She was not rude. She was friendly. She asked, "Why do you say that? I just want to be your friend."
+
+The boy said, "Because you talk funny. You use big words that I don't know. You think you are smart, but you are not. You are just a show-off."
+
+Lily felt hurt and angry. She did not talk funny. She used words from her dictionary. She did not think she was smart, but she liked to learn. She did not show off, she shared. She said, "You are wrong. I talk normal. I use words from my dictionary. I like to learn new words and what they mean. I don't show off, I share. You are the rude one. You don't want to learn or share. You are mean."
+
+The boy did not like what she said. He threw his ball at her and ran away. Lily dodged the ball and picked it up. She saw a word on the ball. It was "soccer". She recognized the word from her dictionary. It was a game with a ball and two teams. She smiled and said, "Thank you for the ball. I will play soccer with someone else. Someone who is nice and wants to learn and share. Goodbye, rude boy." She walked away with the ball and looked for a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They swing, slide, run and laugh. They have a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the park. It is black and furry. It barks loudly and runs fast. It scares some of the other children. Anna and Ben are not scared. They like dogs. They want to pet the dog and say hello.
+
+They go near the dog and say, "Hi, doggy! What is your name? Do you want to play with us?" The dog wags its tail and licks their faces. It is friendly and happy. Anna and Ben giggle and hug the dog.
+
+But the dog's owner is not happy. He is angry and rude. He comes to Anna and Ben and shouts, "Get away from my dog! You are disturbing him! He doesn't like strangers! Go play somewhere else!"
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and confused. They did not do anything wrong. They just wanted to be nice to the dog. They look at the dog and see that he is sad too. He does not want to leave his new friends.
+
+The dog's owner pulls the dog by the leash and walks away. He does not say sorry or thank you. He does not smile or wave. He is mean and grumpy.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other and hug. They say, "We are sorry, doggy. We hope you are okay. We hope you find a better owner. You are a perfect dog. We love you."
+
+They smile and wipe their tears. They go back to their swing and slide. They are still best friends. They are still happy. They do not let the bad man disturb their fun.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a rocket. Sara likes to pretend that her doll is a princess who lives in a castle. Ben likes to pretend that his rocket is a spaceship that flies to other planets.
+
+"Look, my rocket is going to space!" Ben says, making zooming noises. "It is very fast and strong. It can go anywhere!"
+
+"Space is scary," Sara says, hugging her doll. "It is dark and cold and empty. There are no castles or flowers or animals in space. I don't like space."
+
+"Space is not scary," Ben says, shaking his head. "It is amazing and fun and full of stars. There are many things to see and do in space. I like space."
+
+They look at each other and frown. They don't understand why they like different things. They want to play together, but they don't know how.
+
+"Can your doll come to space with me?" Ben asks, holding out his rocket. "Maybe she will like it too. She can wear a helmet and a suit and be a space princess."
+
+"Can your rocket come to my castle with me?" Sara asks, holding out her doll. "Maybe it will like it too. It can land in the garden and be a space guest."
+
+They think for a moment. They decide to try each other's ideas. They swap their toys and pretend to go to space and to the castle. They make up stories and jokes and have fun. They learn that space and castles are both normal and good. They learn that they can like different things and still be friends. They smile and hug and reply to each other. They are happy.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big stone near the fence. They wanted to see what was under it.
+
+"Let's move it!" Sara said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They pushed and pulled the stone with all their strength. It was very heavy. They moved it a little bit. They saw a hole in the ground.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe it is a well," Tom said.
+
+"A well? What is a well?" Sara asked.
+
+"A well is a place where water comes from. You can use a bucket and a rope to get it," Tom said.
+
+"Wow! Can we try it?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe. But we have to be careful. It might be deep and dark," Tom said.
+
+They looked at the hole. It was dark and quiet. They could not see the water. They felt scared and curious.
+
+"Hello!" Tom shouted into the hole.
+
+"Hello!" a voice echoed back.
+
+They jumped and screamed. They heard a laugh.
+
+"Who are you?" Sara asked.
+
+"I am Leo. I live in the well," the voice said.
+
+"You live in the well? How?" Tom asked.
+
+"I am a frog. I like the water. It is cool and wet," the voice said.
+
+"A frog? Can we see you?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure. I will reveal myself. Wait a moment," the voice said.
+
+They waited and watched. They saw a green head pop out of the hole. It had big eyes and a wide mouth. It was a frog.
+
+"Hello! I am Leo. Nice to meet you," the frog said.
+
+"Hello! We are Sara and Tom. Nice to meet you too," Sara and Tom said.
+
+They smiled and waved. They were not scared anymore. They were happy.
+
+They talked to Leo. They asked him many questions. He told them many stories. He was a friendly and funny frog. He was not troubled by living in the well. He liked it.

+Tommy was a little boy who liked to play in his room. He had many toys and books and puzzles, but his favorite thing was to climb on his bed and look out the window. He liked to see the birds and the cars and the people outside.
+
+One day, Tommy wanted to see what was behind the curtain. He had never looked before, because his mom always told him not to touch it. She said it was filthy and had germs and bugs. But Tommy was curious and brave, so he decided to stretch his arm and pull the curtain aside.
+
+"Wow!" Tommy said, as he saw a bright and beautiful garden. There were flowers and trees and butterflies and a pond. He also saw a little girl who was playing with a ball. She had long hair and a pink dress and a smile. She saw Tommy too, and waved at him.
+
+"Hi!" she said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tommy nodded and smiled back. He wanted to play with the girl and see the garden. He forgot about the curtain and the germs and the bugs. He jumped off his bed and ran to the door.
+
+"Mommy, mommy!" he shouted. "Can I go outside and play with the girl?"
+
+His mom heard him and came to his room. She saw the curtain open and the filthy window. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Tommy, what have you done?" she said. "You know you are not supposed to touch the curtain. It is filthy and has germs and bugs. You could get sick or hurt."
+
+Tommy looked at his mom and then at the window. He felt sad and sorry. He did not want to make his mom angry or worried. He did not want to get sick or hurt. He just wanted to play with the girl and see the garden.
+
+"I'm sorry, mommy," he said. "I was curious and brave. I wanted to see what was behind the curtain. It was so bright and beautiful. There was a girl who wanted to play with me."
+
+His mom looked at the window and saw the garden and the girl. She saw how happy and excited Tommy was. She felt sorry for him too. She knew he was curious and brave. She knew he wanted to have fun and make friends.
+
+She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tommy. I understand. You are curious and brave. You want to see the world and have fun and make friends. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The curtain is filthy and has germs and bugs. The window is old and broken. The garden is not safe. The girl is not real. She is a fairy who likes to trick little boys. She will take you away and you will never see me again."
+
+Tommy was surprised and scared. He did not know the girl was a fairy who liked to trick little boys. He did not want to go away and never see his mom again. He loved his mom and wanted to stay with her.
+
+"Really, mommy?" he said. "The girl is a fairy who likes to trick little boys? She will take me away and I will never see you again?"
+
+His mom nodded and said, "Yes, Tommy. Really. Trust me. I love you and I want to protect you. Come, let's close the curtain and clean the window. Then we can play with your toys and books and puzzles. Maybe we can find a real friend for you to play with. How does that sound?"
+
+Tommy thought about it and said, "Okay, mommy. That sounds good. I love you too and I want to stay with you. Let's close the curtain and clean the window. Then we can play with my toys and books and puzzles. Maybe we can find a real friend for me to play with."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Good boy, Tommy. I'm proud of you. You are curious and brave, but also smart and kind. Come on, let's go."
+
+They closed the curtain and cleaned the window. Then they played with his toys and books and puzzles. They had fun and laughed and hugged. They forgot about the garden and the girl and the fairy. They were happy and safe. The end.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to spend their money on different things. Anna liked to buy magazines with pictures of stars and clothes. Ben liked to buy toys and games that he could play with. They both got money from their mom and dad every week for doing chores.
+
+One day, they saw a new magazine and a new toy at the store. Anna wanted the magazine and Ben wanted the toy. But they did not have enough money for both. They asked their mom and dad for more money, but they said no. They said they had to save some money for other things, like food and school.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They thought their mom and dad were not fair. They wished they were wealthy and could buy anything they wanted. They did not talk to their mom and dad for the rest of the day.
+
+The next day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a girl and a boy who were playing with a ball and a kite. They looked happy and friendly. Anna and Ben wanted to play with them, so they went over and said hello.
+
+The girl and the boy said hello back. They said their names were Lily and Sam. They said they did not have a lot of money, but they had a lot of fun. They said they liked to share their toys and magazines with each other and their friends. They said they did not need many things to be happy.
+
+Anna and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they had been selfish and greedy. They realized they had many things to be thankful for, like their mom and dad, their home, and their health. They realized they did not need to be wealthy to be happy. They apologized to their mom and dad and hugged them. They asked Lily and Sam if they could play with them and share their toys and magazines. They said yes and smiled.
+
+Anna and Ben learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that money cannot buy happiness, but sharing and caring can. They learned to be grateful for what they have and generous with what they can give. They learned to be happy with simple things.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lily saw a cricket on a leaf. She wanted to catch it and show Max.
+
+"Look, Max, a cricket!" she said. "It can jump very high and make noise with its legs."
+
+She reached out her hand to grab the cricket. But the cricket was fast and smart. It jumped away from her hand and landed on Max's arm.
+
+"Ow!" Max cried. "It pinched me with its mouth!"
+
+He shook his arm and the cricket flew away. He was angry at Lily and the cricket. He thought they were mean.
+
+"I don't like crickets!" he said. "They are not nice. They are not unique. They are bad."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Max. She did not mean to make him hurt. She wanted to make him happy. She looked around and saw a pretty flower. It was yellow and red and had many petals.
+
+"Max, look, a flower!" she said. "It is very pretty and unique. It smells good too. Do you want to smell it?"
+
+She picked the flower and gave it to Max. Max looked at the flower. He saw that it was different from the other flowers. He smelled it and it made him feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are very kind. You are unique too. I like flowers. And I like you."
+
+He gave Lily a hug and they smiled. They forgot about the cricket and played with the flower. They were happy again.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the living room. They saw a shiny ornament on the tree. It was red and round and had a star on it. Lily wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I have the ornament?" Lily asked Sam.
+
+"No, it is not yours. It is for the tree," Sam said.
+
+"But I like it. It is pretty," Lily said.
+
+She reached for the ornament, but Sam pulled it away.
+
+"Stop it, Lily. You will break it," Sam said.
+
+He refused to give it to Lily. Lily was angry. She pushed Sam and he fell down. The ornament fell too and rolled under the sofa.
+
+"Ow, Lily. That hurt," Sam said. He started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Sam crying and Lily pouting.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily pushed me and took the ornament," Sam said.
+
+"No, Sam took it from me and refused to share," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked under the sofa and found the ornament. It was not broken, but it was dirty.
+
+"Look what you did. You made a mess and hurt each other. This ornament is not a toy. It is a decoration. You have to be careful and respectful with it," Mom said.
+
+She took the ornament and put it back on the tree. Then she hugged Sam and Lily and said, "I'm sorry you fought. But you have to learn to get along and share. How about we make some cookies together? You must be hungry."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They said sorry to each other and hugged too. They followed Mom to the kitchen and helped her make cookies. They forgot about the ornament and enjoyed the cookies. They were yummy.
+Tim liked to number his toys. He had one car, two dolls, three balls, and four books. He put them in a line and counted them. One, two, three, four. He was happy.
+
+But then a wolf came. The wolf was big and bad. He wanted to play with Tim's toys. He took the car and ran away. He took the dolls and tore them. He took the balls and popped them. He took the books and ripped them. He was mean.
+
+Tim was sad and angry. He wanted his toys back. He was frustrated. He shouted at the wolf. "Stop! Give me my toys! You are bad!" But the wolf did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, they are mine now. You can't have them."
+
+Tim did not know what to do. He was scared of the wolf. He wished he had a friend to help him. He looked around and saw a cat. The cat was small and cute. He had a bell on his neck. He was friendly.
+
+Tim called the cat. "Cat, cat, please help me. The wolf took my toys. He is big and bad. Can you make him go away?" The cat nodded and said, "Yes, I can help you. I have a plan. Follow me."
+
+The cat led Tim to a tree. He told Tim to climb the tree and hide. He said, "Wait here. I will get your toys back. Trust me." Tim did as the cat said. He climbed the tree and hid.
+
+The cat went to the wolf. He said, "Hello, wolf. You have nice toys. Can I play with them?" The wolf said, "No, they are mine. Go away." The cat said, "But they are not yours. They are Tim's. He numbered them. He counted them. One, two, three, four. You stole them. You are bad."
+
+The wolf said, "I don't care. I like them. They are fun. You can't have them." The cat said, "But I have something you might like more. Something shiny and noisy. Something that makes you happy." The wolf said, "What is it? Show me."
+
+The cat showed the wolf his bell. He said, "This is my bell. It is shiny and noisy. It makes me happy. Do you want it?" The wolf said, "Yes, I want it. It looks nice. Give it to me." The cat said, "OK, but you have to give me your toys. All of them. One, two, three, four. Then you can have my bell."
+
+The wolf agreed. He gave the cat his toys. All of them. One, two, three, four. He took the cat's bell. He put it on his neck. He said, "Thank you, cat. You are nice. I like your bell. It is shiny and noisy. It makes me happy."
+
+The cat said, "You're welcome, wolf. Enjoy your bell. Goodbye." He took the toys and ran to the tree. He gave them to Tim. He said, "Here, Tim. Here are your toys. All of them. One, two, three, four. I got them back for you. You can number them again. You can count them again. You can be happy again."
+
+Tim was happy. He hugged the cat. He said, "Thank you, cat. You are my friend. You are smart and brave. You helped me. You made the wolf go away. You are good."
+
+The cat said, "You're welcome, Tim. You are my friend too. You are kind and sweet. You shared your toys with me. You are good too."
+
+Tim and the cat played with the toys. They numbered them. They counted them. One, two, three, four. They were happy. The end.
+Tim and Jen are playing with a big balloon. They blow air into the balloon with their lungs. The balloon gets bigger and bigger. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Jen, the balloon is so big!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, Tim, it is very big. Let's tie it to a string and make it fly!" Jen says.
+
+They find a string and tie it to the balloon. They hold the string and run outside. The balloon flies in the sky. They are excited.
+
+"Wow, Jen, the balloon is so high!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, Tim, it is very high. It looks like a bird!" Jen says.
+
+They run and laugh with the balloon. But then, a strong wind comes. The wind blows the balloon away. The string breaks. They are sad.
+
+"Bye, balloon, bye!" Tim says.
+
+"Bye, balloon, bye!" Jen says.
+
+They watch the balloon fly away. It goes very fast. They go very slow. They hug each other. They are still friends.

+
+"What is that?" Lila asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go see," Ben says.
+
+They put on their slippers and go to the window. They see a lot of people on the street. They are holding flags and signs. They are singing and cheering.
+
+"Wow, what are they doing?" Lila wonders.
+
+"Maybe they are happy," Ben guesses.
+
+They run to their mom and dad's room. They knock on the door.
+
+"Mom, dad, wake up! There are people outside!" Lila says.
+
+"Really? What are they doing?" mom asks.
+
+"They are holding flags and signs. They are singing and cheering," Ben says.
+
+Mom and dad get up and go to the window. They smile and hug Lila and Ben.
+
+"Today is a special day, kids. It is the birthday of our nation. Our nation is the place where we live. It is like a big family. We love our nation and our nation loves us. That is why the people are happy. They are celebrating our nation's birthday," mom explains.
+
+"Wow, that is cool. Can we celebrate too?" Lila asks.
+
+"Of course, we can. Let's get dressed and go outside. We can join the people and have fun. But first, let's have some breakfast. You must be hungry," dad says.
+
+They go to the kitchen and eat some toast and jam. They drink some juice. They are not dry anymore. They are ready to go outside and celebrate their nation's birthday. They are happy too.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the office. They like to pretend they are workers. They have a big file with many papers. They look at the papers and make noises.
+
+"Beep, beep, this is a very important file," Lily says. "We have to work hard and fast."
+
+"Yes, yes, we are very good workers," Ben says. "We have to be alert and careful."
+
+They lean over the file and move the papers around. They do not see the cat. The cat is sneaky. The cat likes to play too. The cat jumps on the file and makes it fall.
+
+"Meow, meow, this is a very fun file," the cat says. "I like to scratch and bite."
+
+"Oh no, oh no, the cat is here," Lily says. "The cat is naughty. The cat makes a mess."
+
+"Help, help, the cat is scary," Ben says. "The cat is mean. The cat hurts the file."
+
+They run away from the file and the cat. They hide under the desk. They are scared and sad. They do not want to play anymore. They want their mom and dad.
+Lila and Sam like to play in the garden. They look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, they see a cricket on a leaf. It is green and shiny and makes a loud sound.
+
+"Look, a cricket!" Lila says. "I want to take it home and show Mommy."
+
+"No, don't take it!" Sam says. "It is not nice to take a cricket. It wants to live in the garden with its friends."
+
+"But it is so pretty and original," Lila says. "I have never seen a cricket like this before. Please, can I take it?"
+
+Lila reaches for the cricket, but Sam stops her. He holds her hand and shakes his head.
+
+"No, Lila, you can't take it," he says. "It is not a toy. It is a living thing. It needs air and water and food. It will be sad and scared in a jar or a box. It will stop making its sound. It will die."
+
+Lila looks at the cricket and thinks. She sees its big eyes and long legs and feelers. She hears its sound again. She feels sorry for the cricket.
+
+"Okay, Sam, you are right," she says. "I don't want to take the cricket. I want it to be happy and free. Let's leave it alone and find something else to play with."
+
+They smile at each other and walk away. The cricket stays on the leaf and keeps making its sound. It is happy and free.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they find a big box in the park. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+"Let's cut a door and a window," Tom says. He has scissors in his backpack.
+
+"OK, I will help you," Sam says. He holds the box for Tom.
+
+They work hard and make a nice house. They are happy. They go inside and pretend to cook and sleep.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog sees the box and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the box and bites it. He makes a hole in the wall.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouts. He comes out of the box and tries to push the dog away.
+
+But the dog is strong and angry. He growls and snaps at Tom. Tom is scared.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cries.
+
+Sam hears Tom. He wants to help his friend. He looks around and sees a stick. He picks up the stick and runs to the dog.
+
+"Go away, bad dog!" Sam says. He hits the dog with the stick. The dog feels pain and runs away.
+
+Tom hugs Sam. "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are useful."

+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.

+But one day, a big boy comes to the park. He is harsh. He pushes Tim and Sam. He takes their toys. He says, "This is my park. Go away!"
+
+Tim and Sam are sad and scared. They do not know what to do. They want to go home.
+
+They see a lady. She is nice. She has a basket. She says, "Hello, little ones. Are you hungry? I have some lunch for you. Do you want to share?"
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They are hungry. They follow the lady. She gives them sandwiches, apples and juice. They say, "Thank you, lady. You are kind."
+
+The lady smiles. She says, "You are welcome, little ones. You are brave. Do not let the big boy bully you. He is not nice. He is lonely. Maybe he needs a friend."
+
+Tim and Sam think. They feel sorry for the big boy. They finish their lunch. They say, "Lady, can we give some lunch to the big boy? Maybe he will be nice if he is not hungry."
+
+The lady nods. She says, "That is a good idea, little ones. You are generous. You can try to be his friend. But be careful. He may not be ready to be nice. If he is harsh again, come back to me. I will help you."
+
+Tim and Sam agree. They take some lunch. They go to the big boy. They say, "Hello, big boy. We have some lunch for you. Do you want to share?"
+
+The big boy is surprised. He is not used to kindness. He looks at the lunch. He looks at Tim and Sam. He feels ashamed. He says, "Sorry, little ones. I was harsh. I did not mean to hurt you. I have no friends. I am lonely. Can you be my friends?"
+
+Tim and Sam smile. They say, "Yes, big boy. We can be your friends. But you have to be nice. You have to share. You have to play fair. Can you do that?"
+
+The big boy nods. He says, "Yes, little ones. I can do that. Thank you for the lunch. Thank you for being my friends."

+
+The lady watches them. She is happy. She says, "Well done, little ones. You did a good thing. You made a new friend. You made the park a better place."
+Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big plane that could fly. It was a luxury plane, with shiny wings and a loud engine. They pretended they were pilots and flew the plane around the room.
+
+One day, they decided to fly the plane outside, in the garden. They asked their mom if they could, and she said yes, but be careful. She said the plane was very expensive and they should not break it or lose it. Sam and Mia said they would be careful, and ran outside with the plane.
+
+They had fun flying the plane in the air, making zooming noises and laughing. They flew the plane high and low, near and far, fast and slow. They did not see the big tree that was in the corner of the garden. They were too careless.
+
+The plane hit the tree and fell to the ground. It broke into many pieces. The wings snapped, the engine cracked, the tail smashed. Sam and Mia ran to the plane and cried. They tried to fix it, but it was too broken. They were very sad.
+
+Their mom came outside and saw the broken plane. She was very angry. She said they were naughty and did not listen to her. She said they had to pay for the plane with their allowance. She said they could not play with any toys for a week. She took them inside and sent them to their room. Sam and Mia felt very sorry. They wished they had been more careful.
+Lisa loved to look at her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and earrings. Sometimes, her mom let her wear them and play dress-up. But she also told her not to touch them when she was not around.
+
+One day, Lisa was bored. Her mom was in the kitchen and her dad was at work. She wanted to play with something fun. She remembered the jewelry in her mom's bedroom. She thought, maybe I can touch them for a little bit. No one will know.
+
+She tiptoed to the bedroom and opened the drawer. She saw the jewelry sparkling in the light. She reached out her hand and touched a ring. It felt cold and smooth. She touched a necklace. It felt heavy and long. She touched an earring. It felt pointy and sharp. She liked how they felt.
+
+She decided to try them on. She put the ring on her finger, the necklace around her neck, and the earring on her ear. She looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled. She felt like a princess.
+
+But then she heard her mom's voice. "Lisa, where are you?" Her mom sounded angry. Lisa got scared. She knew she did something bad. She quickly took off the jewelry and put them back in the drawer. She ran out of the bedroom and hid behind the couch.
+
+Her mom came into the living room and saw her. "Lisa, what were you doing in my bedroom?" Her mom asked. "Did you touch my jewelry?"
+
+Lisa felt guilty. She did not want to lie to her mom. She said, "Yes, mom, I did. I'm sorry. I just wanted to play with them. They are so pretty."
+
+Her mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was not too mad. She said, "Lisa, I know you like my jewelry, but you can't touch them without my permission. They are very special to me. Some of them are from your dad, and some of them are from my mom, who lives very distant from us. They are not toys. They are treasures. Do you understand?"
+
+Lisa nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I won't touch them again. I love you."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lisa. Next time, you can ask me if you want to play with them. And maybe, one day, I will give you some of them, when you are older and more careful."
+
+Lisa smiled. She was glad her mom was not too mad. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best."

+
+"Ben, look at the mud! Can we touch it?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not like mud. He thinks it is dirty and sticky.
+
+"No, Anna, mud is yucky. We should not touch it. Mommy will be mad if we get dirty," Ben says.
+
+Anna does not listen to Ben. She runs to the mud and puts her hand in it. She feels the mud squish between her fingers. She smiles and laughs.
+
+"Ben, come here! The mud is so nice. It feels like cake. You should try it," Anna says.
+
+Ben stays away from the mud. He sees a bird on a tree. The bird is red and blue. It sings a pretty song. Ben is alert. He likes birds. He wants to see the bird better.
+
+"Anna, look at the bird! It is so pretty. It has many colors. Can you hear it sing?" Ben says.
+
+Anna does not look at the bird. She is busy with the mud. She makes a ball with the mud. She throws it in the air and catches it.
+
+"Ben, look at the mud! It is so fun. I can make things with it. You should join me," Anna says.
+
+Ben and Anna do not agree. They like different things. They play by themselves. They are happy in their own way.
+Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Ben saw a big truck that Mia had. He wanted to play with it too.
+
+"Give me the truck, Mia!" Ben said. He tried to grab it from her.
+
+"No, Ben! It's mine!" Mia said. She held the truck tight. "You have your own toys!"
+
+Ben and Mia started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share or say sorry. They made a lot of noise and mess.
+
+Mom heard them from the kitchen. She was not happy. She came to the living room and saw the fight.
+
+"Stop it, Ben and Mia!" Mom said. "Why are you fighting? You are brother and sister. You should love each other and play nice."
+
+"But she has the truck, Mom!" Ben said. "I want it too!"
+
+"But he tried to take it, Mom!" Mia said. "It's not fair!"
+
+Mom looked at the truck. It was old and dirty and ugly. It had scratches and dents and missing wheels. It was not a good toy.
+
+"Is this what you are fighting about?" Mom said. "This ugly truck? It's not worth it. You have so many better toys. Why don't you pass the truck to each other and take turns? Or find another toy that you both like? Or play something else together?"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at the truck. They saw that Mom was right. It was ugly and boring. They did not want it anymore. They felt sorry for fighting.
+
+"Sorry, Mia," Ben said. He passed the truck to her.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Mia said. She passed the truck back to him.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They put the truck away and found another toy that they both liked. They played together and had fun. They did not fight or make noise or mess.
+
+Mom was happy. She saw that Ben and Mia were friends again. She saw that they had peace and love. She gave them a kiss and a hug.
+
+"Good job, Ben and Mia," Mom said. "You are very kind and smart. I'm proud of you."
+

+"Look, Lily, a bird!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, Ben, it is so pretty!" Lily says.
+
+They want to say hello to the bird. They run to the window. But the window is closed. They knock on the glass. The bird looks at them. It tilts its head.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The bird does not answer. It flies away. Lily and Ben are sad. They want the bird to come back.
+
+They have an idea. They get a bucket of water. They splash the water on the window. They hope the bird will see the water and think it is a pond. They wait for the bird.
+
+The bird comes back. It sees the water on the window. It thinks it is a pond. It lands on the window. It tries to drink the water. But the water is not real. It is only glass. The bird is confused. It pecks at the glass.
+
+Lily and Ben laugh. They think the bird is funny. They splash more water on the window. The bird flaps its wings. It splashes water on Lily and Ben. They get wet. They giggle.

+
+Tim and Kim say, "Wow, a rocket! Can we go to the moon too?"
+
+Mom says, "No, you are too small. But you can watch the rocket. See, it makes a lot of smoke. The smoke is ash. It is gray and black."
+
+Tim and Kim say, "Ash? What is ash?"
+
+Mom says, "Ash is what is left when something burns. The rocket burns fuel to go fast. The fuel makes ash. The ash goes up in the air."
+
+Tim and Kim say, "Oh, we see. Ash is like dust. It is not nice. We do not like ash."
+
+Mom says, "Me neither. But the rocket is nice. It is shiny and bright. It goes very high. Do you want to count with me?"
+
+Tim and Kim say, "Yes, we want to count. We are ready."
+
+Mom says, "Okay, let's count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. The rocket is gone. It is in the moon now."
+
+Tim and Kim say, "Bye, rocket. Have fun in the moon. We have fun in the park. We play with our ball and our bike. We are happy."
+Lily and Tom were eager to go to the party. They liked to dance and play with their friends. They put on their best clothes and shoes. Mom gave them a mint to make their breath fresh.
+
+"Have fun, but be careful," Mom said. "Don't eat too much candy or you will get a tummy ache."
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will," Lily and Tom said. They hugged Mom and ran to the car.
+
+At the party, there was music and balloons and cake. Lily and Tom danced and laughed and had a good time. They saw a big bowl of mints on the table. They loved mints. They took some and ate them.
+
+"Yum, these are so good," Lily said.
+
+"Let's have some more," Tom said.
+
+They ate more and more mints. They did not listen to Mom. They did not stop.
+
+Soon, they felt sick. Their tummies hurt. They felt dizzy. They could not dance anymore. They could not laugh anymore. They could only cry.
+
+"Mom, Mom, we want Mom," they sobbed.
+
+The party was over. Mom came to pick them up. She saw their faces and knew what happened.
+
+"Oh, Lily and Tom, what did you do?" she asked. "Did you eat too many mints?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They were sorry. They were sad.
+
+Mom was angry. She was worried. She took them home. She gave them some water and medicine. She put them to bed.
+
+"You were very naughty," she said. "You did not listen to me. You did not take care of yourselves. You spoiled the party. You will not go to another party for a long time."
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to Mom. They hugged her and said they loved her.
+
+But Mom did not hug them back. She did not say she loved them. She turned off the light and left them alone.
+
+Lily and Tom cried themselves to sleep. They had a bad ending.
+Sara liked to write in her journal. She wrote about her day, her friends, her toys and her dreams. She hid her journal under her pillow, so no one could see it. She thought it was her secret.
+
+But one day, she came back from the park and found her journal on her bed. She was very angry. Who had looked at her journal? She asked her mom, but mom said she did not know. She asked her dad, but dad said he did not know. She asked her brother, but he said he did not know.
+
+Sara was very sad. She felt like someone had taken her secret. She looked at her journal and saw a big stain on the cover. It looked like juice. She smelled it and it smelled like grape. She knew who had looked at her journal. It was her brother. He liked grape juice. He was very nosy.
+
+She ran to his room and knocked on his door. He opened it and saw her angry face. He knew he was in trouble. He tried to say sorry, but Sara did not listen. She grabbed his favorite toy, a truck, and ran away. She said she would not give it back until he promised to never look at her journal again.
+
+He chased her and they both ran around the house. They made a lot of noise and mom and dad came to see what was wrong. They saw Sara and her brother fighting over the truck and the journal. They were not happy. They told them to stop and share. They said they should not be nosy or mean to each other. They said they should respect each other's things and feelings.
+
+Sara and her brother felt sorry. They hugged and said sorry. They gave back each other's things. They promised to not look at each other's journals or toys again. They learned a lesson. They were happy.
+Ben and Mia like to play with their toy boats in the pond. They sail them on the water and make sounds like "vroom" and "beep". They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they see a big duck in the pond. The duck swims to their boats and pecks at them. Ben and Mia are scared and angry. They shout at the duck and try to shoo it away.
+
+"Go away, duck! Leave our boats alone!" Ben says.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck says. It does not listen. It bites Ben's boat and makes it sink. Ben cries and runs to his mom.
+
+Mia is brave and picks up a stick. She waves it at the duck and says, "Stop it, duck! You are mean and heavy. You can't have our boats. They are ours!"
+
+The duck looks at Mia and the stick. It thinks Mia is too strong and loud. It decides to swim away and find another pond. Mia is happy and proud. She sails her boat and makes sounds like "vroom" and "beep". She helps Ben get his boat out of the water and gives him a hug.
+
+They play with their boats again and have fun and laugh a lot. They hope the duck will not come back.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big ladder near the wall. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Can we go up the ladder?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. It looks old and broken. Maybe it is not safe," Ben said.
+
+But Lily was curious and brave. She took the first step on the ladder. It was wobbly and creaky. She took another step. Then she heard a loud snap. The ladder broke and Lily fell to the ground. She hurt her knee and started to cry.
+
+Ben ran to her and hugged her. He was scared and sorry. He wanted to help her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked.
+
+"It hurts. I want mommy," Lily sobbed.
+
+Ben looked around and saw a red wagon. He had an idea. He lifted Lily and put her in the wagon. He pulled the wagon to the house. He knocked on the door and called for mommy.
+
+Mommy opened the door and saw Lily and Ben. She saw Lily's knee was bleeding and Ben's face was worried. She took Lily in her arms and kissed her.
+
+"What happened, my sweeties?" she asked.
+
+"We were playing with the ladder and it broke and Lily fell," Ben explained.
+
+Mommy nodded and smiled. She was not angry. She was proud of Ben for being a good brother. She took Lily and Ben inside. She cleaned Lily's knee and put a band-aid on it. She gave them both some warm milk and cookies. She hugged them and told them a story.
+
+Lily and Ben felt better. They thanked mommy and said sorry for breaking the ladder.
+
+Mommy said it was okay. She said they could help her restore the ladder tomorrow. She said they could paint it with bright colors and make it new and strong. She said they could use it to reach the apples on the tree or the stars in the sky.
+
+Lily and Ben liked that idea. They smiled and cuddled with mommy. They felt warm and happy. They learned a new word: restore. They learned to be careful and kind. They learned to love each other.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill with a hole. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's walk to the hole," Anna says. "Maybe it is a cave."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. It might be dark and scary."
+
+They walk to the hole. It is a cave. They see rocks and bats and spiders. They hold hands and walk inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. She points to a shiny stone. "It is so pretty."
+
+Ben nods. He sees a small pool of water. "And look at this!" He says. He dips his finger in the water. "It is so clear and cold."
+
+They drink some water. They feel healthy and happy. They smile at each other.
+
+They walk out of the cave. They see the sun and the sky. They run back to their home. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure.
+
+They say, "We found a cave. It was fun and cool. We want to go again."
+Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play in the park after school. On Wednesday, they saw a big slide. They wanted to try it.
+
+"Can we go on the slide?" Tom asked Anna.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Anna said.
+
+They ran to the slide and waited for their turn. The slide was very high and shiny. Tom and Anna felt excited and scared.
+
+"Who wants to go first?" Tom asked Anna.
+
+"You go first, Tom. I will go after you." Anna said.
+
+Tom nodded and climbed up the stairs. He reached the top and looked down. He saw Anna waving at him. He smiled and sat on the slide. He pushed himself and slid down. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted. He landed on the ground and stood up.
+
+"That was fun!" Tom said.
+
+Anna clapped and cheered. She climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. She pushed herself and slid down. She felt the same as Tom. She laughed and shouted. She landed on the ground and stood up.
+
+"That was fun!" Anna said.
+
+Tom and Anna hugged and high-fived. They were happy and proud. They decided to go on the slide again and again. They had a nice time.
+
+They played until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the slide and to each other. They walked with their moms and dads. They were tired and hungry. They wanted to eat and sleep.
+
+They settled in their beds and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the slide and the park. They looked forward to the next Wednesday. They hoped to play with each other again. They were friends.
+Lily and Max were at the mall with their mom. They liked to look at the toys and the books and the clothes. They also liked to eat ice cream and ride the carousel.
+
+One day, they saw a big sign that said "Restore the Mall". It had a picture of a hammer and a paintbrush and some bricks. Lily and Max were curious. They asked their mom what it meant.
+
+"It means they are fixing the mall, making it look new and nice again," their mom explained. "Sometimes things get old and broken and need to be restored."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They wanted to see how they restored the mall. They followed their mom to a store that sold lamps and rugs and pillows. Their mom wanted to buy a new lamp for their living room.
+
+While their mom was looking at the lamps, Lily and Max wandered around the store. They saw a big pile of pillows on a shelf. They thought it looked like a fun place to play. They climbed on the shelf and started to jump on the pillows.
+
+"Look, Max, we are restoring the pillows!" Lily said. "We are making them fluffy and soft again!"
+
+Max laughed. He agreed. He jumped higher and higher on the pillows. He felt like he was flying.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Max jumped too high and lost his balance. He fell off the shelf and knocked down a lamp. The lamp crashed to the floor and broke into pieces. It made a loud noise.
+
+Everyone in the store turned to look at Max. He was lying on the floor, surrounded by broken glass and wires. He was not hurt, but he was very embarrassed. He wished he could disappear.
+
+Lily ran to him and helped him get up. She was scared and sorry. She did not mean to break the lamp. She hoped their mom was not angry.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Max and Lily and the broken lamp. She was shocked and upset. She apologized to the store owner and offered to pay for the lamp.
+
+The store owner was not happy, but he was kind. He said he understood that kids sometimes make mistakes. He said he would not charge them for the lamp, but he asked them to be more careful next time.
+
+Lily and Max said they were sorry. They thanked the store owner and hugged their mom. They learned their lesson. They decided to not play on the pillows anymore. They decided to restore the mall by being good and respectful. They hoped the mall would look new and nice soon.
+Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play dress-up with Lila's mom's clothes. One day, they found a veil in a box. It was white and long and had shiny things on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It's so pretty!"
+
+"Can I try it?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It's very special. It was my mom's when she got married." Lila said.
+
+She helped Sam put the veil on his head. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled.
+
+"I look like a princess!" he said.
+
+"You do!" Lila agreed. "You're a perfect princess!"
+
+They giggled and twirled around the room. They pretended they were going to a ball. They danced and sang and had fun.
+
+Then they heard a knock on the door. It was Lila's mom.
+
+"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" she asked.
+
+She saw Sam wearing the veil and gasped.
+
+"Oh, no! That's my wedding veil! You can't play with that! It's very delicate and expensive!" she said.
+
+She took the veil from Sam's head and folded it carefully. She looked angry and sad.
+
+Lila and Sam felt bad. They didn't mean to upset Lila's mom. They thought the veil was just a toy.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. We didn't know. We just wanted to play." Lila said.
+
+"Yeah, we're sorry. We thought it was pretty." Sam said.
+
+Lila's mom sighed. She saw their sorry faces and hugged them.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I know you didn't mean any harm. But you have to trust me when I tell you something is not for playing. The veil is very important to me. It reminds me of the day I married your dad. He gave it to me as a gift. It's one of a kind." she said.
+
+Lila and Sam nodded. They understood. They said they were sorry again and gave Lila's mom a kiss.
+
+"Can we still play dress-up?" Lila asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. But use the other clothes, okay? And be careful with them, too." Lila's mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. We will." Lila and Sam said.
+
+They went back to the box and picked out some other clothes. They found a hat, a scarf, a coat and a skirt. They put them on and looked at each other.
+
+They laughed and said, "We look perfect!"
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, Mom gives them a tray of cookies and milk. She says, "Share nicely, and don't make a mess."
+
+Tom and Jen say, "Thank you, Mom!" They take the tray to their room. They put it on the floor. They each take a cookie and a cup of milk. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom sees that Jen has a bigger cookie than him. He says, "That's not fair! I want your cookie!" He tries to grab Jen's cookie, but Jen holds it tight. She says, "No, Tom! This is my cookie! You have your own!"
+
+They start to fight over the cookie. They pull and push and shout. They don't see the tray on the floor. They knock it over. The cookies and milk spill on the carpet. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Tom and Jen, what have you done? You wasted the cookies and milk. You ruined the carpet. You were not nice to each other. You should be ashamed."
+
+Tom and Jen feel sorry. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We were greedy and selfish. We didn't share nicely. We didn't think about the tray. We didn't fit in our room."
+
+Mom says, "You need to learn to be grateful and generous. You need to respect each other and your things. You need to clean up your mess and apologize to each other. And you need to fit in your room, or you will have to play outside."
+
+Tom and Jen nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will do better next time. We love you, Mom." They hug Mom. They hug each other. They clean up their mess. They share the last cookie. They fit in their room. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a spring. The spring is a round thing that you can sit on and bounce up and down. It is very fun and popular. Many kids want to play on the spring.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben go to the park. They see the spring is open. No one is on it. They run to the spring and take turns to bounce. They laugh and have fun.
+
+"Can I have one more bounce?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but hurry up. It's my turn next," Ben says.
+
+Lily sits on the spring and pushes hard. She bounces very high. She feels happy. But then, something bad happens. The spring breaks. It makes a loud noise. It snaps and flies away. Lily falls off the spring and hits the ground. She cries. She hurts her arm and her leg.
+
+Ben runs to Lily and tries to help her. He is scared and sorry. He calls for help. Other kids and grown-ups come to see what happened. They are shocked and sad. They call an ambulance. The ambulance comes and takes Lily to the hospital. Ben goes with her. He hopes she will be OK.
+
+The park is quiet and empty. The spring is gone. No one can play on it anymore. It is not fun and popular. It is broken and dangerous. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys and books, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was very messy. Their mom was not happy.
+
+"Anna and Ben, you have to tidy your room now!" mom said. "It is almost time for dinner. And I have a surprise for you after we eat."
+
+Anna and Ben did not want to tidy their room. They wanted to keep playing. But they also wanted to know the surprise. They liked surprises.
+
+"What is the surprise, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"You will see, but only if you tidy your room first," mom said. "You have one week to do it. If you do it well, I will reveal the surprise to you next Sunday."
+
+Anna and Ben wondered what the surprise could be. Maybe it was a new toy, or a cake, or a trip to the park. They decided to tidy their room. They put their toys in the boxes, their books on the shelves, and their clothes in the drawers. They worked together and helped each other. They finished before dinner.
+
+"Wow, your room looks very tidy!" mom said. "I am proud of you. You did a good job. Now you can have dinner and wait for the surprise."
+
+Anna and Ben ate their dinner and thanked mom. They were excited and curious. They could not wait for the next Sunday. They hoped the surprise was worth it.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big red ball in the garden. They wanted to have fun with it, so they took it to the hill near their house.
+
+"Let's roll the ball down the hill and see how far it goes!" said Lily.
+
+"OK, but be careful not to drop it!" said Tom.
+
+They took turns to roll the ball down the hill and watch it bounce and spin. They laughed and clapped their hands. They did not see that the ball was going towards the road, where cars and bikes were passing by.
+
+A man was riding his bike on the road. He did not see the ball either, until it hit his wheel and made him fall. He hurt his knee and his bike was broken. He was very angry and shouted at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Hey, you naughty kids! Why did you drop the ball on the road? You could have caused a big accident! Where are your parents?"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared and sorry. They ran to the man and tried to help him.
+
+"We are sorry, mister. We did not mean to drop the ball. We were just playing on the hill. We did not see the road. Please don't be mad at us!" said Lily.
+
+"Yeah, we are sorry. Are you OK? Do you need a band-aid?" said Tom.
+
+The man saw that they were sincere and felt a little better. He calmed down and said:
+
+"Well, I guess you did not do it on purpose. But you have to be more careful next time. Playing on the hill is fine, but you have to watch where the ball goes. And you have to tell your parents where you are. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said:
+
+"Yes, we understand. We will be more careful and tell our parents. Thank you for being nice to us."
+
+They gave the man his ball back and said goodbye. They went back to their house and told their parents what happened. Their parents were glad that no one was badly hurt, but they also scolded them for being naughty and careless. They told them to apologize to the man again and to be more responsible. Lily and Tom agreed and learned their lesson. They still liked to play on the hill, but they never dropped the ball on the road again.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big poster on a wall. The poster has a picture of a man with a guitar. The man is smiling.
+
+"Who is that?" Sara asks.
+
+"That is Jack. He is a famous singer. He sings songs on TV and on the radio. He is coming to our town soon," Tom says.
+
+"I like his songs. They are fun and happy. Can we go see him?" Sara asks.
+
+"Maybe. We have to ask our moms. They have to buy tickets. Tickets are pieces of paper that let you go inside a place," Tom says.
+
+Sara and Tom run to their moms. They tell them about Jack and the poster. They ask them to buy tickets.
+
+"Please, please, please, can we go see Jack?" Sara and Tom say.
+
+Their moms look at each other. They smile.
+
+"Maybe. We will think about it. But you have to be good and do your chores. And you have to share your toys and be nice to each other. If you don't, we will not buy tickets. That is a threat," their moms say.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They understand. They want to go see Jack. They do not want to miss him. They hug their moms and say thank you.
+
+They go back to play with their dolls and cars. They are happy. They sing some of Jack's songs. They hope their moms will buy tickets. They do not mention the threat. They do not want to think about it. They only want to think about Jack. He is famous. He is their favorite singer.
+Anna was a princess who lived in a big castle. She liked to play with her dolls and her dog. But she was worried because her dad, the king, was sick. He had a bad cough and a red face. He stayed in bed all day and did not smile.
+
+One day, Anna had an idea. She went to the garden and picked some flowers. She put them in a basket and ran to her dad's room. She knocked on the door and said, "Dad, I have something for you." She opened the door and saw her dad lying on the bed. He looked very tired and sad.
+
+Anna walked to the bed and gave him the basket. She said, "These are for you, dad. They are from the garden. They are very pretty and smell good. I hope they make you happy." She smiled and hugged him.
+
+The king looked at the flowers and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and sweet. You are my best princess. I love you very much." He hugged her back and kissed her cheek.
+
+Anna felt happy and proud. She said, "I love you too, dad. I hope you get better soon. Can I tell you a story?" She picked up one of her dolls and started to tell him a story about a brave princess and a friendly dragon. The king listened and laughed. He felt a little better and less worried. He was glad to have Anna by his side.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many roots. The roots are brown and twisty. Some roots are under the ground and some roots are over the ground.
+
+"Look, Max, this root is like a bridge!" Lily says. She walks on the root. She is careful not to fall. "Can you walk on the root too?"
+
+Max nods. He walks on the root behind Lily. He is brave and fast. He catches up with Lily. They reach the end of the root. They see something shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asks. She picks up the shiny thing. It is a purple necklace. It has many beads. It sparkles in the sun.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Max says. He touches the necklace. It feels smooth and cold. "Where did it come from?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe someone left it here. Maybe it is a gift from the tree."
+
+Lily puts the necklace around her neck. She smiles. She feels happy. She thinks the necklace is magic.
+
+"Thank you, tree!" Lily says. She hugs the root. "You are a good tree. You gave us a nice play and a purple necklace."
+
+Max smiles too. He hugs the root and Lily. He agrees with Lily. He thinks the tree is good. He likes to play with Lily and the tree.
+
+They run back to the park. They play some more. They have fun. They do not forget the tree and the necklace. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks.
+
+One day, they wanted to make the biggest tower ever. They used all the blocks they had and stacked them high and wide. They were very proud of their tower.
+
+"Look at our tower!" Ben said. "It is so big and strong!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But we can make it even bigger and stronger. Let's improve it!"
+
+They looked around for more things to add to their tower. They saw some books, some pillows, some toys, and some cups. They thought they were harmless and good for their tower.
+
+They took the books and put them on top of the blocks. They took the pillows and put them on the sides of the blocks. They took the toys and put them in the gaps of the blocks. They took the cups and put them on the edges of the blocks.
+
+They stepped back and admired their tower. It was very tall and wide and colorful.
+
+"Wow!" Ben said. "Our tower is amazing! It is the best tower ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But we can make it even more amazing. Let's improve it some more!"
+
+They looked around for more things to add to their tower. They saw some scissors, some glue, some paint, and some candles. They thought they were harmless and good for their tower.
+
+They took the scissors and cut some paper and cloth. They took the glue and stuck them on the blocks. They took the paint and splashed it on the blocks. They took the candles and lit them on the blocks.
+
+They stepped back and admired their tower. It was very bright and shiny and sparkly.
+
+"Wow!" Ben said. "Our tower is awesome! It is the most awesome tower ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But we can make it even more awesome. Let's improve it one last time!"
+
+They looked around for the last thing to add to their tower. They saw a big ball. They thought it was harmless and good for their tower.
+
+They took the ball and threw it on the top of the tower. They wanted to make the tower bounce and spin.
+
+But the ball was not harmless. It was heavy and hard. It hit the tower and made it shake and fall. The blocks and the books and the pillows and the toys and the cups and the paper and the cloth and the paint and the candles all came crashing down. They made a loud noise and a big mess. They also made a fire and a smoke.
+
+Ben and Lily screamed and ran away. They were scared and hurt. Their tower was gone. It was not big and strong and amazing and awesome. It was bad and dangerous and ruined and gone.
+
+The end.
+Anna loved to look at the birds in the pet shop. They had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green. They sang and flew in their cages. Anna wanted to have a bird of her own.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said, "We can buy a bird for you, but you have to take good care of it. You have to feed it, clean its cage, and give it water every day. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She picked a blue bird with a yellow beak. She named it Sky. She carried the cage to the car. She was very happy.
+
+At home, Anna put the cage on a table near the window. She gave Sky some seeds and water. She talked to him and tried to make him sing. But Sky was quiet and sad. He missed his friends at the pet shop. He did not like his new cage.
+
+The next day, Anna had an idea. She thought Sky would be happier if he had a bath. She filled a bowl with water and put it in the cage. She said, "Look, Sky, you can soak in the water and make your feathers shiny. Don't you want to try?"
+
+But Sky did not want to try. He was afraid of the water. He stayed on his perch and shivered. He wished he could fly away.
+
+Anna did not understand. She thought Sky was being stubborn. She got angry and said, "Fine, if you don't want to bathe, then you can stay dirty and smelly. I don't care. You are a bad bird."
+
+She left the room and slammed the door. She did not see the tears in Sky's eyes. She did not hear the soft whistle he made. He was saying, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm scared. Please don't hate me."
+Sara is a good girl. She likes to learn new things. She goes to school every day. Her teach is nice. She helps Sara and her friends to read and write and count.
+
+One day, Sara comes home from school. She is very happy. She has a new book. She wants to show it to her mom. She runs to the kitchen. But she forgets to wash her hands.
+
+"Mom, look at my book!" Sara says. She holds the book in her dirty hands.
+
+"Sara, wait a minute," mom says. "Your hands are dirty. You need to wash them first. Then you can show me your book."
+
+Sara feels sad. She does not want to wash her hands. She wants to read her book. She thinks mom is mean.
+
+"No, mom, I don't want to wash my hands," Sara says. She tries to pull her book away from mom.
+
+"Sara, don't be rude," mom says. "You have to wash your hands. It is good for you. It keeps you healthy and clean. And it shows respect for your book and your teach. They gave you the book to learn, not to ruin."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She remembers her teach. She likes her teach. She wants to make her teach proud. She does not want to ruin her book. She wants to learn from it.
+
+"Okay, mom, I will wash my hands," Sara says. She is an obedient girl. She goes to the sink. She turns on the water. She rubs her hands with soap. She rinses them. She dries them with a towel.
+
+"Good girl, Sara," mom says. She smiles. She hugs Sara. She takes the book from Sara. She opens it. She reads it with Sara. Sara is happy. She learns new words. She thanks mom and teach for the book. She loves to read.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to peel some onions for the soup. Lila and Ben took the onions and a knife and went to the table.
+
+"Be careful with the knife," mom said. "And don't touch your eyes after you peel the onions. They can make you cry."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and started to peel the onions. They wanted to be helpful and make mom happy. But soon, they felt a sting in their eyes and tears came out. They rubbed their eyes with their hands, but it only made it worse.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila and Ben cried. "The onions hurt our eyes!"
+
+Mom heard them and came to the table. She saw the twins crying and the onions on the floor. She took a wet cloth and wiped their eyes gently.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves," mom said. "The onions have a strong smell that makes your eyes water. You have to peel them under water or with a fan on. Here, let me show you."
+
+Mom took the knife and the onions and put them in a bowl of water. She peeled the onions under the water and the smell did not bother her eyes. She showed Lila and Ben how to do it and gave them each an onion to try.
+
+"Wow, mom, you are so smart!" Lila and Ben said. "The onions don't hurt our eyes anymore!"
+
+They peeled the onions under water and put them in a pot for the soup. Mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Ben, for being so helpful and brave," mom said. "You learned something new today. Sometimes, things that seem hard or scary can be easier or funnier if you try a different way. And if you need help, you can always ask me or someone else who knows. I'm proud of you, my loves."
+
+Lila and Ben smiled and hugged mom back. They felt happy and proud too. They helped mom make the soup and enjoyed it with the whole family. They liked the onions in the soup. They did not make them cry. They made them yummy.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with green grass. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Sara said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Tom said.
+
+They ran up the hill, holding hands. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They reached the top and looked around. They saw the trees, the flowers, the birds and the clouds.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Sara said.
+
+"Yeah, it is!" Tom said.
+
+They sat down on the grass and smiled. They felt happy and free.
+
+"Hey, what does the grass taste like?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know, let's try!" Tom said.
+
+They picked some grass and put it in their mouths. They chewed and chewed.
+
+"Yuck, it's bitter!" Sara said.
+
+"Yuck, it's sour!" Tom said.
+
+They spat out the grass and made faces. They did not like the taste.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It barked and growled.
+
+"Help, it's a bad dog!" Sara said.
+
+"Run, run!" Tom said.
+
+They got up and tried to run down the hill. But the dog was faster and stronger. It caught them and bit them. They screamed and cried. They felt pain and fear.
+
+The dog did not let go. It shook them and dragged them. They could not escape.
+
+No one heard them. No one helped them.
+
+They were gone.
+Anna and Lily are sisters. They like to play with dolls and blocks. But sometimes they fight over toys. One day, Anna sees a shiny red car on the shelf. She wants to play with it. She climbs on a chair and grabs the car.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouts. She runs to Anna and tries to grab the car too. They pull and tug and yell. The car breaks in two. Anna and Lily start to cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the broken car and the sad sisters. She is not happy. She says, "Why did you grab the car, Anna? You know it belongs to Lily. And why did you fight, Lily? You know it is not nice to fight. You should share and take turns. Now the car is ruined and you are both unhappy. How do you feel?"
+
+Anna and Lily feel sorry. They say, "We feel bad, Mom. We are sorry. We were not clever. We were selfish and mean. We love each other and we love the car. Can you fix it, please?"
+
+Mom says, "I can try to fix it, but it might not be the same. Next time, you should ask before you take something. And you should listen to each other and be kind. That is what clever sisters do. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Lily nod. They hug Mom and say, "We understand, Mom. Thank you. We will be clever sisters from now on. We will share and take turns and be nice. We are sorry we made you sad."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. I love you both. Now let's go and have some cookies and milk. And maybe we can find another toy to play with together."
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They liked to make up stories with their toys and act them out.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is very fast and strong," Tom said, making his car zoom around the floor. "It can go anywhere and do anything."
+
+"My doll is very pretty and kind," Lily said, brushing her doll's hair. "She likes to help people and make them happy."
+
+Tom saw a mustache on the table. It was their dad's mustache that he used for a costume. Tom had an idea. He grabbed the mustache and stuck it on his car.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car has a mustache now," Tom said, laughing. "It is very funny and silly."
+
+Lily looked at Tom's car and giggled. She thought the mustache looked funny on the car too. She wanted to try it on her doll.
+
+"Can I borrow your mustache, Tom?" Lily asked. "I want to see how it looks on my doll."
+
+"Okay, Lily, but be careful," Tom said, handing her the mustache. "Don't lose it or break it. Dad will be mad."
+
+Lily took the mustache and put it on her doll. She smiled and said, "Hello, I am Miss Mustache. I like to drink tea and read books."
+
+Tom and Lily laughed and played with their toys with mustaches. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something strange happened. The mustache on Tom's car started to shrink. It became smaller and smaller until it was gone.
+
+"Hey, where did my mustache go?" Tom asked, looking at his car. "It was here a minute ago."
+
+Lily looked at her doll and saw that the mustache on her doll was shrinking too. It became tiny and dry and fell off.
+
+"Oh no, what happened to our mustaches?" Lily asked, picking up the dry mustache. "They were big and soft and now they are small and hard."
+
+Tom and Lily were confused and scared. They did not know why their mustaches shrank. They wondered if their dad would notice.
+
+They heard their dad coming home. They quickly hid the dry mustache under the couch and pretended to play normally.
+
+"Hi, kids, I'm home," their dad said, entering the living room. "How was your day?"
+
+"Fine, dad, fine," Tom and Lily said, smiling nervously.
+
+Their dad looked at them and then at the table. He saw that his mustache was missing.
+
+"Hey, where is my mustache?" he asked, frowning. "I left it here this morning. Did you kids see it?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and gulped. They did not know what to say. They hoped their dad would not find the dry mustache under the couch. They wished they had not played with it. They learned their lesson.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big pie on the table. It smelled good.
+
+"Can we have some pie?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, Mom said we have to wait for dinner," Lily said.
+
+"But I'm hungry," Ben said. He reached for the pie.
+
+Lily pushed his hand away. "No, Ben, you can't. Mom will be mad."
+
+Ben pushed her back. "You can't tell me what to do. I want pie."
+
+He grabbed the pie and took a big bite. But the pie was not sweet. It was sour. Ben made a face and spit out the pie.
+
+"Yuck, this pie is bad. It hurts my mouth," he said.
+
+Lily laughed. "That's not pie, Ben. That's lemon. Mom was making lemon pie. You have to add sugar to make it good."
+
+Ben felt silly. He wished he had listened to Lily. He looked at the mess he had made. He hoped Mom would not be mad. He said sorry to Lily.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. Maybe we can have some real pie later. But first, we have to clean up," Lily said.
+
+They got a cloth and wiped the table. They put the lemon back in the bowl. They hugged each other and waited for Mom.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man in a suit. He had a big bag of candy.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?" the man said. He smiled.
+
+Tom and Sue liked candy. They ran to the man. They took some candy from his bag.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Tom said.
+
+"You're welcome. But you have to do something for me," the man said. He grabbed Tom and Sue by the arms. He was rough.
+
+"What do you want?" Sue asked. She was scared.
+
+"I want you to come with me. I have more candy in my car," the man said. He lied.
+
+Tom and Sue did not want to go with the man. They tried to get away. But the man was strong. He dragged them to his car.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Sue shouted. But no one heard them.
+
+The man put them in his car. He locked the doors. He drove away.
+
+Tom and Sue cried. They tasted their candy. It was bitter. They wished they never took it. They wished they never met the man. They were in trouble.
+Lily and Tom are best friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big house with a high fence. They are nosy. They want to know what is inside.
+
+They go near the fence and try to look over it. They hear a loud bark. A big dog is behind the fence. It is angry. It runs to the fence and jumps. Lily and Tom are scared. They run away.
+
+"Stop! Come back!" They hear a voice. It is a man. He is the owner of the house and the dog. He opens the gate and comes out. He is not angry. He is kind.
+
+"Sorry, my dog scared you. He is not bad. He is just protective. He thinks you are strangers. Do you want to meet him?" The man says.
+
+Lily and Tom are curious. They nod. The man calls the dog. The dog comes to him. He is big and furry. He has a collar with a name tag. It says Rex.
+
+"Rex, these are Lily and Tom. They are my neighbors. They are nice. Can you be nice to them?" The man says. He pets the dog. The dog wags his tail. He sniffs Lily and Tom. He licks their faces. He is friendly.
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They pet the dog. They like him. They are not scared anymore.
+
+"Thank you for letting us meet Rex. He is a good dog. We are sorry for being nosy. We just wanted to see your house." Lily says.
+
+"It's okay. I understand. You are curious. But next time, please ask me first. I don't mind showing you my house. But you have to be careful. There are other things behind the fence that are not so nice. Like bees and thorns and broken glass. You could get hurt." The man says.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They understand. They learn a truth. They have to be respectful and safe. They thank the man again. They say goodbye to Rex. They go back to the park. They play together. They are happy.
+Lily and Max were playing in the backyard after dinner. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and animals. They had a flashlight that Mom gave them, but it was old and broken. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
+
+They found a big box behind the shed. They thought it might have something fun inside. They opened the box and saw some old clothes, books and toys. They started to dig through the box, hoping to find a treasure.
+
+But then it got dark. The sun went down and the sky turned black. They could not see anything in the box. They tried to turn on the flashlight, but it did not work. They shook it, hit it, and twisted it, but nothing happened.
+
+Lily started to cry. She was scared of the dark. She wanted to go back to the house, where it was bright and warm. She said, "Max, I don't like this. I want Mom. The flashlight is broken. It won't turn on. Let's go, please."
+
+Max tried to be brave. He did not like the dark either, but he did not want to leave the box. He thought there might be a treasure inside. He said, "Lily, don't cry. Don't be scared. The flashlight is not broken. It just needs new batteries. Maybe we can find some in the box. Let's keep looking."
+
+But Lily did not want to keep looking. She wanted to go. She complained, "Max, no. I don't want to look. I don't want to stay. I want to go. The flashlight is broken. It won't turn on. Let's go, please."
+
+Max sighed. He knew Lily was very scared. He loved his sister. He did not want to make her cry. He said, "Okay, Lily. Okay. We can go. We can come back tomorrow, when it is light. Maybe the flashlight will work then. Maybe we will find a treasure then. Come on, let's go."
+
+He took Lily's hand and they walked back to the house. They left the box behind the shed. They hoped no one would take it. They hoped they would find a treasure tomorrow. They hoped the flashlight would work tomorrow.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but they both liked the red metal car the best. They always fought over who could play with it.
+
+"Give me the red car, it's mine!" Ben shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Lily yelled back.
+
+They pulled and tugged at the car, trying to take it from each other. The car made a loud noise and broke in half. Ben and Lily stared at the broken car, feeling sad and angry.
+
+"Look what you did! You broke the red car!" Ben blamed Lily.
+
+"It's your fault! You quit sharing!" Lily blamed Ben.
+
+They threw the car pieces on the ground and ran away, crying.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken car and the unhappy children. She shook her head and sighed.
+
+"Ben, Lily, come here, please," she called.
+
+Ben and Lily came back, sniffling and pouting.
+
+"Did you break the red car?" Mom asked.
+
+They nodded, looking down.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Mom asked.
+
+"Because we both wanted it," Ben said.
+
+"Because we didn't share," Lily said.
+
+Mom picked up the car pieces and held them in her hands.
+
+"Do you know how lucky you are to have so many toys?" she asked.
+
+They shook their heads, not sure.
+
+"Some children don't have any toys, or any food, or any home. They have nothing to play with or enjoy. They would be very happy to have even one car, even a broken one. You should be grateful for what you have, and learn to share with each other. Sharing makes you and others happy. Fighting makes you and others sad. Do you understand?" she asked.
+
+They nodded, feeling sorry.
+
+"Can you say sorry to each other, and hug?" she asked.
+
+They looked at each other, and said sorry. They hugged, and felt better.
+
+"Can you fix the red car, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. It might be too broken. But maybe we can find another way to use the pieces. Maybe we can make something new, or give them to someone who needs them. What do you think?" she asked.
+
+They thought for a moment, and smiled.
+
+"Maybe we can make a robot, or a necklace, or a picture," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we can give them to the poor children, or the animals, or the plants," Lily said.
+
+They liked their ideas, and felt excited.
+
+"Good, I'm glad you have some ideas. Let's go inside and see what we can do. And remember, sharing is caring. Can you say that with me?" Mom said.
+
+They repeated after her, "Sharing is caring."
+
+They held hands and followed Mom inside, feeling grateful.
+Sam and Mia went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But Sam and Mia liked the birds best. They wanted to see the parrots.
+
+They found a big cage with many colorful parrots. Some parrots were red, some were blue, some were green, and some were yellow. They made loud noises and said funny words.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" Sam said. "That parrot is perfect! It has all the colors!"
+
+He pointed to a parrot that had red, blue, green, and yellow feathers. It looked like a rainbow.
+
+"Yes, it is very pretty," mom said. "Do you want to talk to it?"
+
+Sam nodded. He went closer to the cage and said, "Hello, parrot. What is your name?"
+
+The parrot looked at Sam and said, "Hello, Sam. My name is Polly. Do you want a cracker?"
+
+Sam was surprised and happy. He laughed and said, "Yes, please. I like crackers."
+
+Mom gave Sam a cracker and he gave it to the parrot. The parrot took the cracker and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very nice."
+
+Mia also wanted to talk to the parrot. She said, "Hello, Polly. You are very beautiful."
+
+The parrot looked at Mia and said, "Hello, Mia. You are very sweet. Do you want a kiss?"
+
+Mia giggled and said, "Yes, please. I like kisses."
+
+The parrot gave Mia a kiss on the cheek and said, "Thank you, Mia. You are very kind."
+
+Sam and Mia hugged the parrot and said, "We love you, Polly. You are the best parrot ever."
+
+The parrot said, "I love you, too, Sam and Mia. You are the best friends ever."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are very lucky, Sam and Mia. You found a perfect parrot."

+In the park, they see a big stack of blocks. The blocks are different colors and shapes. Sara and Ben run to the stack. They want to play with the blocks.
+
+"Can we play with the blocks, mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't make the stack fall," mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben start to take blocks from the stack. They make their own buildings with the blocks. They have fun. They make a house, a tower, a bridge, and a car.
+

+Lily liked to print pictures with her crayons. She had many crayons of different colors. She printed flowers, stars, animals and more. She printed them on paper and put them on her desk.
+
+One day, she wanted to print a picture for her mom. She looked for a big paper and a red crayon. She started to print a big heart. She wanted to write "I love you" inside the heart.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a thunder. She was scared of thunder. She dropped her crayon and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, I'm scared!"
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily. Thunder is just a sound. It can't hurt you. You are safe with me."
+
+Lily felt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Do you want to show me your picture?"
+
+Lily nodded. She took her mom's hand and went back to her desk. She picked up her crayon and finished her picture. She gave it to her mom and said, "This is for you, mom. I printed a heart for you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "This is beautiful, Lily. Thank you. You are very good at printing. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily smiled too. She was happy. She liked to print pictures for her mom. She was not scared of thunder anymore.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make on her paper. She liked to draw circles, squares, stars and hearts. But she did not know how to draw a triangle. She wanted to learn how to make a triangle.
+
+She asked her big brother Sam to help her. Sam was good at drawing. He knew how to make many things with his crayons. He smiled and said he would show her how to draw a triangle. He took a yellow crayon and drew a line on the paper. Then he drew another line that met the first one. Then he drew a third line that closed the shape. He said, "This is a triangle. It has three sides and three corners."
+
+Lily looked at the triangle. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to try to draw one too. She took a blue crayon and copied what Sam did. She drew a line, then another line, then another line. But her lines were not straight and even. Her shape looked messy and crooked. She felt sad and nervous. She did not like her triangle.
+
+She showed her triangle to Sam. She said, "My triangle is bad. It does not look like yours. I can't draw a triangle." She wanted to cry.
+
+Sam looked at her triangle. He saw that it was not perfect, but he also saw that she tried hard. He hugged her and said, "Your triangle is not bad. It is different. It is your triangle. You can draw a triangle. You just need to practice more. I will help you. Please don't cry. You are a good drawer."
+
+Lily felt better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother. I will practice more. Maybe I can draw a better triangle next time." She wiped her tears and took another crayon. She drew another triangle on the paper. It was still not perfect, but it was better than the first one. She was proud of her triangle. She showed it to Sam. He said, "That's a great triangle, Lily. You are doing well. Keep drawing. You can make many beautiful things with your crayons." They drew more triangles and other shapes on the paper. They had fun together.
+Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They build houses, towers, bridges and cars. Sometimes they knock them down and start again. They have fun with blocks.
+
+One day, Tom has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's build a mail box. We can send letters to each other." Lily likes the idea. She says, "OK, how do we build it?"
+
+Tom says, "We need a big block for the base, a long block for the post, and a small block for the box. We can use a paper for the flag." They find the blocks they need and put them together. They make a mail box.
+
+Then they write letters to each other. They use crayons and paper. They draw pictures and write their names. They fold the paper and put it in the mail box. They raise the flag.
+
+They take turns to be the mail man. They walk to the mail box, lower the flag, and take out the letter. They walk back to the other person and give them the letter. They say, "Here is your mail." They open the letter and smile. They say, "Thank you for the mail."

+Sara and Ben liked to play in the swamp behind their house. They liked to splash in the water, look for frogs and bugs, and make mud pies. But their mom always told them to be careful and not go too far, because the swamp could be dangerous.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben saw a big pink flower in the swamp. They had never seen such a flower before. It was very pretty and smelled sweet. They wanted to pick it and take it home. They ran towards the flower, but they did not see the snake that was hiding under it.
+
+"Stop!" their mom shouted from the porch. She had seen the snake and wanted to prevent them from getting hurt. "There is a snake by the flower! Come back here, now!"
+
+Sara and Ben heard their mom and stopped. They looked and saw the snake. It was black and shiny, and it hissed at them. They were scared and ran back to their mom. She hugged them and said, "You are very lucky. That snake is poisonous. It could have bitten you and made you very sick. You should never touch anything in the swamp without checking first. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry and thanked their mom for saving them. They learned their lesson and never went near the pink flower again. They still played in the swamp, but they were more careful and listened to their mom. They knew she loved them and wanted to keep them safe.
+Lila was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big hill behind her house and wanted to climb it. She asked her parent if she could go, but her parent said no. It was too far and too dangerous for a little girl.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She waited until her parent was busy and sneaked out of the house. She ran to the hill and started to climb. She felt happy and brave as she went higher and higher. She saw many things on the way, like flowers, birds and rocks.

+
+Lila cried and said, "I'm sorry, parent. I wanted to see the hill. I was adventurous. Please help me. Please forgive me."
+
+Her parent sighed and said, "Lila, I love you, but you have to listen to me. I only want to keep you safe. I forgive you, but you have to promise me you will never do this again. Now, stay where you are. I'm coming to get you."
+
+Lila nodded and said, "I promise, parent. I love you too. Thank you for forgiving me."
+
+Her parent climbed the hill and hugged her. Then, they went down together and walked back to the house. Lila learned her lesson and never ran away again. She still liked to be adventurous, but only with her parent's permission.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they have to be careful, because their mom told them not to open the closet. The closet has many things that are not for children, like scissors, glue, and paint.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben are bored. They have played with all their toys, and they want something new. Anna has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's open the closet and see what is inside. Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+Ben is scared. He says, "No, Anna, we can't do that. Mom said no. She will be mad if we open the closet. And we might get hurt by the things inside."

+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped their plates and started to cry. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They just wanted some cake.
+
+Their mom and dad ran to them and hugged them. They said "We are so sorry, your majesty. We did not know this was a private party. We thought it was part of the tour. We are here to see the palace. These are our children, Sara and Ben. They are very young and they love cake. They did not mean to upset you. Please forgive them."
+
+The king looked at Sara and Ben. He saw their tears and their sad faces. He felt sorry for them. He said "I am sorry, too. I was too harsh. I understand you are young and you love cake.

+
+He called his daughter, Princess Lily. She was a nice girl. She was wearing a pink dress and a tiara. She came to Sara and Ben and said "Hi, I am Lily. I am the princess. It is my birthday. Do you want to be my friends? Do you want to share my cake?"

+
+One day, he saw a big bunch of broccoli in the farmer's field. He wanted to hop over and eat it, but he was nervous. He knew the farmer did not like rabbits. He had a big dog and a loud gun. Timmy was afraid of the dog and the gun. He did not want to get hurt.
+
+He waited until it was dark, and then he hopped very quietly to the field. He saw the broccoli shining in the moonlight. He was so happy. He hopped closer and closer, until he reached the broccoli. He took a big bite and smiled. It was so good.
+
+But then he heard a bark. It was the dog. The dog saw Timmy and ran after him. Timmy was scared. He dropped the broccoli and hopped as fast as he could. He heard the farmer shout and the gun bang. He hopped and hopped, until he reached the fence. He jumped over the fence and ran to his hole. He was safe.
+
+He was glad he was safe, but he was sad he lost the broccoli. He wished he could have more broccoli, but he knew it was too dangerous. He decided to eat something else. He found some carrots and lettuce and apples in the garden. He ate them and felt better. He still liked broccoli, but he liked being safe more.

+
+"Look, mom, the seal is playing with a ball!" Tom said, pointing at the pool.
+
+"Yes, it is. Do you know how the seal got the ball?" mom asked.
+
+"No, how?" Mia said, curious.
+
+"Well, the zookeepers gave the seal a ball as a toy, because they wanted to make it happy. But this is not a normal ball. It is an original ball, made just for the seal. It has a hole in it, and inside there is a fish. The seal can smell the fish, and it tries to get it out by biting and rolling the ball. That is why it is so fun for the seal," mom explained.
+
+"Wow, that is so cool! Can we get an original ball too?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey, but I don't think they sell original balls for kids. Maybe you can make your own with something else, like a sock or a balloon. But be careful not to break it or eat it, okay?" mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. We will try. But first, can we watch the seal some more?" Mia said.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Let's watch the seal and learn from it. Maybe it will teach us something new," mom said.
+
+They watched the seal for a long time, and they clapped and cheered when it did a trick. They had a lot of fun at the zoo, and they learned a lot too. They liked the seal very much, and they hoped to see it again soon.

+They took the scissors and the makeup and went to Lily's room. They put their dolls on the bed and started to cut their hair. They made some bangs, some curls, some braids. They laughed and talked as they cut.
+
+"Look, my doll has pink hair now," Lily said, showing Anna her doll with makeup on her hair.
+
+"Wow, she looks so cool. My doll has blue hair," Anna said, doing the same.
+
+They were very excited with their new dolls. They put more makeup on their faces and clothes. They made them look like princesses and fairies.
+
+"Let's show our mom's our dolls," Lily said.
+
+"OK, let's go," Anna said.
+
+They ran downstairs with their dolls in their hands. They wanted to surprise their mom's with their dolls. But when they saw their mom's faces, they were not happy. They were angry.
+
+"What did you do to your dolls?" Lily's mom asked.
+
+"And to my makeup?" Anna's mom asked.
+
+Lily and Anna looked at each other. They did not understand why their mom's were angry. They thought they made their dolls look pretty.
+
+"We cut their hair and put makeup on them," Lily said.
+
+"We wanted to make them look like princesses and fairies," Anna said.
+
+They showed their mom's their dolls with a smile. But their mom's did not smile back. They took the dolls and the scissors and the makeup from them.
+
+"You can't cut your dolls' hair or use my makeup without asking," Lily's mom said.
+
+"That's very naughty and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or your dolls," Anna's mom said.
+
+They scolded Lily and Anna and sent them to their rooms. They told them they had to clean up the mess and apologize.
+
+Lily and Anna were very sad. They did not mean to be naughty or dangerous. They just wanted to have fun and be creative. They hugged their dolls and cried. They wished their mom's would understand.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. They want to jump in the leaves.
+
+"Look, Ben, leaves!" Lily says. "Let's go!"
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the pile of leaves. They jump in the leaves. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But the leaves are old and wet. They are rot. They smell bad. They make Lily and Ben itch. They make noise when they move.
+
+"Ben, I don't like these leaves. They are rot. They are yuck." Lily says. She tries to get out of the pile.
+
+"Me too, Lily. They are rot. They are yuck." Ben says. He tries to get out of the pile.
+
+But the pile of leaves is too big. Lily and Ben are stuck. They can't get out. They cry and scream. They are not ready for this.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Ben shout. "We are stuck in the rot leaves!"
+
+But no one hears them. No one comes to help them. They are alone in the rot leaves. They are sad and scared. They wish they never played in the pile of leaves. They wish they listened to their moms. They have a bad ending.
+One day, a little girl named Mia went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She was very happy to see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. But her favorite animal was the kangaroo. She liked how they jumped and carried their babies in their pouches.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, kangaroos!" Mia shouted, pointing at the big fence.
+
+"Yes, they are very cute, Mia. Do you want to count how many kangaroos there are?" her mom asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, I want to count!" Mia said, and started to count with her fingers. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! There are ten kangaroos, mom!"
+
+"Very good, Mia, you are a smart girl. You can count very well," her mom praised her.
+
+"Thank you, mom. Can I go closer to the kangaroos? Can I touch them?" Mia asked.
+
+"Well, you can go closer, but you have to be careful. You can't touch them, because they might get scared or angry. You have to stay behind the fence, okay?" her dad said.
+
+"Okay, dad, I will be careful," Mia said, and walked closer to the fence. She saw a kangaroo that had an open pouch, and inside there was a tiny baby kangaroo. Mia thought it was the cutest thing she ever saw.
+
+"Look, look, a baby kangaroo! It is so small and fuzzy! Hello, baby kangaroo, I am Mia. What is your name?" Mia said, talking to the baby kangaroo.
+
+The baby kangaroo peeked out of the pouch and looked at Mia with big eyes. It made a soft noise, like a squeak. Mia smiled and squeaked back. She felt like she made a new friend. She was very happy. She loved the zoo and the kangaroos.
+Sam and Lily liked to pretend they were in a video. They used a big box as a camera and made funny faces and noises. They took turns to be the star and the director.
+
+One day, they were pretending to be animals in the jungle. Sam was a lion and Lily was a monkey. Sam roared and Lily jumped on the couch. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their nosy neighbor, Mr. Brown. He always wanted to know what they were doing. He looked at the box and said, "What are you kids up to?"
+
+Sam and Lily did not like Mr. Brown. He was mean and boring. They did not want to talk to him. They had an idea. They pretended to be very quiet and still. They hoped he would go away.
+
+But Mr. Brown did not go away. He opened the door and walked in. He saw Sam and Lily sitting in the box. He said, "Are you playing hide and seek? That's a silly game. Why don't you watch some TV instead?"
+
+Sam and Lily did not want to watch TV. They wanted to pretend. They looked at each other and nodded. They had another idea. They pretended to be very loud and scary. They jumped out of the box and shouted, "Boo!"
+
+Mr. Brown was surprised and frightened. He dropped his hat and ran out of the door. He said, "You kids are crazy! I'm never coming back!"
+
+Sam and Lily laughed and high-fived. They were happy. They said, "That was the best video ever!" They continued to pretend and have fun.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the old house. It was big and spooky and had many things to see. One day, they found a big box in the attic. They opened it and saw many bones inside.
+
+"Wow, look at these bones!" Ben said. "They are from a skeleton!"
+
+"What is a skeleton?" Lily asked.
+
+"A skeleton is what you have inside you, under your skin. It holds you up and lets you move," Ben explained.
+
+"Can we make a skeleton with these bones?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Let's try!" Ben agreed.
+
+They took out the bones and tried to put them together. They found a skull, a rib cage, two arms, two legs, and a spine. They snapped the bones into place and made a skeleton.
+
+"Look, we did it!" Ben said. "It is an impressive skeleton!"
+
+"It is very big and scary!" Lily said. "But also cool!"
+
+They stood back and admired their work. They were proud of their skeleton. They decided to give it a name.
+
+"Let's call it...Bonesy!" Ben suggested.
+
+"I like it!" Lily said. "Hello, Bonesy!"
+
+They smiled and waved at their skeleton. They hoped it would not come to life and chase them. They were brave, but not that brave.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But they also wanted to go outside and see the stars. They knew that when it was evening, the sky would be dark and shiny.
+
+They asked their mom if they could go outside. Mom said they had to wait until after dinner. Anna and Ben were impatient. They did not want to wait. They wanted to go outside now. They looked at the window and saw that the sky was still bright and blue.
+
+They decided to make a plan. They thought they could sneak outside when mom was not looking. They put on their shoes and coats and tiptoed to the door. They opened it very quietly and ran outside.
+
+But they did not realize that mom had seen them. She followed them and called their names. Anna and Ben stopped and turned around. They saw mom looking at them with a frown. They knew they were in trouble.
+
+Mom said they had to go back inside and eat their dinner. She said they had to listen to her and not run away. She said they could go outside later, when it was really evening. Anna and Ben felt sorry and said they were sorry. They followed mom back inside and ate their dinner.
+
+After dinner, mom said they could go outside and see the stars. She said she would go with them and tell them stories. Anna and Ben were happy. They thanked mom and hugged her. They went outside and saw the sky was dark and shiny. They realized that waiting was not so bad. They realized that mom loved them and wanted them to be safe. They realized that they loved mom too. They held her hand and looked at the stars. They had a good evening.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big bird with brown feathers and a red thing on its head. It was a turkey that had escaped from the farm next door.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "Let's catch it and keep it as a pet!"
+
+"No, Ben, that's not nice!" Anna said. "The turkey belongs to the farmer. He will be sad if we take it."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was careless and ran after the turkey, trying to grab it. The turkey was scared and ran away, making loud noises. Anna followed Ben, trying to stop him.
+
+The farmer heard the noise and came out of his house. He saw Ben and Anna chasing his turkey. He was angry and shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you kids, leave my turkey alone! That's my dinner for Thanksgiving!"
+
+Ben and Anna stopped and looked at the farmer. They felt sorry and afraid. They did not know it was Thanksgiving and that the farmer wanted to eat the turkey.
+
+"Please, mister, we are sorry," Anna said. "We did not mean to hurt your turkey. We just wanted to play with it."
+
+The farmer saw that they were honest and did not mean any harm. He calmed down and said, "Well, I guess you didn't know any better. But you should be more careful and respectful of other people's animals. They are not toys, they are living beings. How would you feel if someone took your favorite toy and tried to eat it?"
+
+Ben and Anna thought about it and realized that they would feel very sad and angry. They said, "We would feel very bad, mister. We are sorry. We will not do it again."
+
+The farmer nodded and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you go home and tell your parents what you did. Maybe they will teach you more about Thanksgiving and why we are thankful for what we have."
+
+Ben and Anna agreed and said goodbye to the farmer and the turkey. They ran back to their house, feeling ashamed and sorry. They told their parents what they did and apologized. Their parents were not happy, but they comforted them and said, "We are glad you learned your lesson. We love you and we are thankful for you. Now, let's have some dinner and be grateful for our food and our family."
+
+Ben and Anna hugged their parents and said, "We love you too and we are thankful for you. And we are sorry for the turkey. We hope he will be okay."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. One day, they go to camp with Mom and Dad. Camp is a big place with trees and tents and a fire.
+
+At camp, Lily and Ben see a lot of things. They see birds and bugs and flowers. They see other kids and dogs and bikes. They see a big lake and a small boat. They want to try everything.
+
+But Mom and Dad say they have to help first. They have to bake bread for dinner. Lily and Ben like bread. They like to eat it with butter and jam. They want to help Mom and Dad bake bread.
+
+Mom and Dad show them how to bake bread. They give them a little bowl and a little spoon. They give them flour and water and yeast and salt. They tell them to mix everything together. Lily and Ben mix and mix and mix. They make a sticky dough.
+
+Then they put the dough in a big pan. They cover it with a cloth. They put it near the fire. They wait for the dough to grow. Lily and Ben are excited. They want to see their bread.
+
+After a while, Mom and Dad say the bread is ready. They take the pan from the fire. They uncover the cloth. They show Lily and Ben their bread. It is big and brown and smells good. Lily and Ben are happy. They clap their hands. They say thank you to Mom and Dad. They say they want to bake bread again. Mom and Dad smile. They say they are proud of Lily and Ben. They say they can bake bread anytime. They say they love them. They hug them. They cut the bread. They share it with everyone. They have a yummy dinner. They have a good day at camp.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many rocks and plants. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can find something fun!"
+
+"OK, Anna!" Ben said. "But be careful. The hill is steep and the rocks are sharp."
+
+They held hands and started to climb. They saw many bugs and flowers on the way. They stopped to examine them and say their names.
+
+"Look, Ben! A ladybug!" Anna said, pointing to a red and black bug on a leaf.
+
+"Wow, Anna! A daisy!" Ben said, picking a white and yellow flower from the ground.
+
+They smiled and put the bug and the flower in their pockets. They continued to climb until they reached the top of the hill. They looked around and saw a big cross made of wood. It was standing on a deep hole.
+
+"What is that, Anna?" Ben asked, feeling scared.
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Anna said, feeling curious. "Maybe someone put it there for a reason. Let's go and see."
+
+They walked towards the cross and the hole. They saw a sign that said "Rest in peace, Spot". They realized that the hole was a grave and the cross was a marker.
+
+"Who is Spot, Anna?" Ben asked, feeling sad.
+
+"Maybe Spot was a dog, Ben," Anna said, feeling sorry. "Maybe someone loved Spot very much and buried him here."
+
+They felt sorry for Spot and the person who lost him. They decided to leave the cross and the hole alone. They said a prayer for Spot and his owner. Then they turned around and climbed down the hill. They went back to the park and played with their bug and their flower. They were happy to have each other and their own pets at home.
+Lily liked to play with her cubes. She had many cubes of different colors and sizes. She could make towers and houses and trains with her cubes. She was very proud of her cubes.
+
+One day, Lily's big brother Ben came to her room. He was bored and wanted to have some fun. He saw Lily's cubes and had an idea. He took some of her cubes and threw them out of the window. He laughed and said, "Bye-bye, cubes!"
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted, "Ben, you are mean! Give me back my cubes!" But Ben did not listen. He ran away and left Lily alone.
+
+Lily went to the window and looked outside. She saw some of her cubes on the grass. But some of them were missing. She wondered where they were. She hoped they were not lost or broken.
+
+She put on her shoes and went outside. She picked up the cubes on the grass and put them in a basket. She looked around and saw something shiny on the roof of the garage. It was one of her cubes. It was a huge cube, the biggest one she had. It was red and shiny and had a star on it. It was her favorite cube.
+
+She wanted to get her cube back, but she did not know how. The garage was too high for her to reach. She needed help. She thought of someone who could help her. She ran to the house and knocked on the door. She said, "Daddy, daddy, please help me! Ben threw my cube on the roof and I want it back!"
+
+Daddy opened the door and saw Lily. He saw her tears and her basket. He understood what happened. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. Let's go to the garage and get your cube back."
+
+He took Lily's hand and walked to the garage. He got a ladder and climbed up to the roof. He reached for the cube and gave it to Lily. Lily was very happy. She hugged the cube and said, "Thank you, daddy! You are the best!"
+
+Daddy smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm sorry Ben was mean to you. He should not have thrown your cubes away. He should apologize to you and help you restore your play."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, daddy. He should. But I'm glad I have you and my cube. I love you and my cube."
+
+Daddy said, "I love you too, Lily. And I like your cube. It's very pretty and huge. Can I play with it with you?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, daddy. You can. Let's go to my room and make something with my cubes."
+
+They went to Lily's room and played with her cubes. They made a castle and a dragon and a princess with her cubes. They had a lot of fun. Lily forgot about Ben and his meanness. She was happy with her daddy and her cube.
+Lily was sad. She had a pin in her hand. She wanted to make a necklace with beads. But the pin was too difficult to use. She could not put the beads on the pin. She tried and tried, but she only hurt her fingers.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. She threw the pin and the beads on the floor. She ran to her mom and hugged her.
+
+"What's wrong, Lily?" her mom asked. She saw the pin and the beads on the floor. She understood why Lily was sad.
+
+"I can't make a necklace, mom. The pin is too difficult. It hurts me. I don't like it," Lily said.
+
+Her mom comforted her. She kissed her fingers and rubbed her back. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The pin is too difficult for you. But you don't need a pin to make a necklace. You can use a string. A string is easier and safer. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. Her mom gave her a string and some beads. She showed her how to make a necklace with a string. Lily followed her mom. She put the beads on the string. She made a beautiful necklace. She was happy.
+
+She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you. And I love my necklace."
+
+Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too. And I love your necklace. You did a great job. You see, sometimes you have to try a different way to do something. If something is too difficult, don't give up. Ask for help. There is always a solution."
+
+Lily learned a lesson. She learned that if something is too difficult, she can ask for help. She learned that there is always a solution. She learned that her mom is always there to comfort her. She was happy.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a big truck. Tim says, "It is mine!" Sam says, "No, it is mine!" They pull and push the truck.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! You are family. You should share and be kind." She takes the truck and puts it on a shelf. She says, "No one can play with the truck until you say sorry to each other."
+
+Tim and Sam are sad and angry. They sit on their beds and do not talk. They look at the truck and want to play with it. They also look at each other and want to hug.
+
+After a while, they feel sorry. They say, "I am sorry, brother. I love you." They hug and smile. Mom sees them and smiles too. She says, "That is good. I am proud of you. You are family. You should love and help each other."
+
+She gives them the truck and says, "You can play with the truck, but you have to take turns and be careful." Tim and Sam say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you." They play with the truck and have fun. They also play with their other toys, like a ball, a doll, and a hairy bear. They are happy and do not fight. They are family.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with blocks. They made different structures with them, like houses, towers, and bridges. Sometimes they asked each other questions about their structures, like how tall they were, or what color they were, or who lived in them.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big structure together. They used all the blocks they had, and made a castle with walls, windows, and a gate. They were very proud of their castle, and pretended to be a king and a queen.
+
+"Look at our castle, Mia!" Ben said. "It is the best castle ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is, Ben!" Mia agreed. "No one can break it!"
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their little brother, Leo, who had just learned to walk. He saw the castle, and wanted to play with it too. He crawled towards it, and reached out his hand.
+
+"Leo, no!" Ben and Mia shouted. "That is our castle! Go away!"
+
+But Leo did not listen. He grabbed a block, and pulled it out. The castle started to shake, and then it fell down. All the blocks crashed to the floor, and made a big mess.
+
+Ben and Mia were very sad and angry. They cried, and yelled at Leo. Leo was scared, and cried too.
+
+Mom heard the noise, and came to see what happened. She saw the broken castle, and the three children crying. She hugged them, and tried to calm them down.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben and Mia," she said. "I know you worked hard on your castle, and it was very beautiful. But Leo did not mean to break it. He is still very little, and he does not understand. He just wanted to play with you."
+
+She looked at Leo, and said, "Leo, you have to be careful with your brother and sister's things. You have to ask them before you touch them. And you have to say sorry when you make a mistake."
+
+Leo nodded, and said, "Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Mia."
+
+Ben and Mia looked at Leo, and saw that he was humble and sorry. They felt sorry for him too. They decided to forgive him, and to share their blocks with him.
+
+They said, "It's okay, Leo. We love you. Do you want to help us make a new castle?"
+
+Leo smiled, and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They hugged each other, and started to build a new castle together. Mom smiled, and said, "That's very nice of you, Ben and Mia. You are very good siblings. I'm proud of you."
+
+She helped them pick up the blocks, and gave them some cookies as a treat. They ate the cookies, and enjoyed their new castle. They learned that sometimes things break, but love does not.
+Tom and Mia went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray, and it had a ball on its nose. It could clap its flippers and make a loud sound.
+
+The zookeeper told them that the seal was very smart and could learn many tricks. He gave the seal a fish every time it did something good. Tom and Mia wanted to learn tricks too, so they asked the zookeeper if they could help.
+
+The zookeeper said yes, but they had to be fair. They had to take turns and share the fish. Tom and Mia agreed, and they each got a fish. They threw the fish to the seal, and the seal caught it in its mouth. Then the seal did a trick for them. It jumped in the air and spun around. Tom and Mia clapped and laughed.
+
+They had a lot of fun with the seal, and they learned how to be fair and kind. They thanked the zookeeper and the seal, and they gave them a hug. The seal gave them a wet kiss. Tom and Mia said goodbye to the seal, and they went to see the other animals. They were happy and proud.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had a big box of toys. Lily liked to make things with her hammer and nails. Ben liked to draw with his crayons and paper.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a sun!" Ben said, showing his paper. He had drawn a wide circle with yellow crayons. He had also drawn some lines around it for the rays.
+
+"That's nice, Ben," Lily said. "But I can make a better sun. Watch me!"
+
+Lily took her hammer and some nails. She found a piece of wood and some shiny things. She nailed the shiny things on the wood in a circle. They were old spoons and forks and lids. They sparkled in the sun.
+
+"See, Ben, this is my sun!" Lily said, holding up her wood. "It glows more than your sun. It is prettier!"
+
+Ben looked at Lily's sun. He felt sad. He thought his sun was pretty, too. He did not like Lily's sun. He thought it was noisy and sharp.
+
+"No, Lily, your sun is not pretty," Ben said. "It is loud and hurts. My sun is quiet and soft. I like my sun better!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to argue. They did not want to play together anymore. They turned away from each other and hugged their suns.
+
+Mom heard them and came outside. She saw them sitting apart, with their suns in their laps. She smiled and shook her head.
+
+"Come here, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "I have something to show you."
+
+Lily and Ben followed Mom. She took them to the front yard. She pointed to the sky.
+
+"Look, there is the real sun!" Mom said. "It is big and bright and warm. It glows for everyone. It does not care if you make a sun with crayons or with a hammer. It loves you both the same."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the real sun. They felt silly. They realized that their suns were not the same as the real sun. They were just toys. They were not important.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They said sorry for being mean. They hugged and shared their suns. They decided to play together again.
+
+Mom was happy. She gave them a kiss and a cookie. She told them they were her suns. They glowed in her heart.
+Anna was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys. But Mommy said she had to nap before Uncle Bob came to visit. Uncle Bob was Mommy's brother. He was fun and nice. He always brought Anna a present. Anna liked Uncle Bob. She was excited to see him.
+
+Anna tried to sleep, but she could not. She heard a car outside. She jumped out of bed and ran to the window. She saw Uncle Bob's car. He was here! Anna ran to the door and opened it. She shouted, "Uncle Bob, Uncle Bob!"
+
+Uncle Bob smiled and hugged Anna. He said, "Hello, sweetie. I missed you. Look what I have for you." He gave Anna a big box. Anna opened it. It was a doll. A beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. Anna loved it. She said, "Thank you, Uncle Bob. She is so pretty. Can I play with her?"
+
+Uncle Bob said, "Of course you can. But first, let me say hi to Mommy. Where is she?" Anna said, "She is in her room. She is napping. She is tired." Uncle Bob said, "Oh, I see. Well, let's go wake her up. She will be happy to see me."
+
+Anna and Uncle Bob went to Mommy's room. They knocked on the door. There was no answer. They opened the door. They saw Mommy on the bed. She was not napping. She was not moving. She was not breathing. She was dead. Anna and Uncle Bob screamed. They were scared and sad. They did not know what to do. The doll fell from Anna's hands. She did not want to play with her anymore. She wanted her Mommy. But her Mommy was gone. Forever.
+Tommy loved to fly his kite on Sunday. He had a big blue kite with a long tail. He was gifted at making the kite go high and fast in the sky. He liked to watch the birds and the clouds as he flew his kite.

+
+One day, her cousin Ben came to visit. He wanted to play with Anna's toys too. But he did not care about being organized. He took out many toys and threw them on the floor. He mixed up the boxes and shelves. He broke some of Anna's dolls and cars. He made a big mess.
+
+Anna was very angry. She told Ben to stop. She said he was not welcome in her room. She said he was not nice. She said he had to go away. But Ben did not listen. He laughed and kept playing with the toys. He said they were not only Anna's toys. He said they were his toys too.
+
+Anna ran to her mom and told her what Ben was doing. Her mom went to Anna's room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told Ben to stop too. She said he had to say sorry to Anna. She said he had to help Anna clean up the mess. She said he had to be more careful with Anna's toys. She said he had to be more respectful of Anna's space.
+
+Ben did not like what mom said. He pouted and whined. He said he did not want to say sorry. He said he did not want to help. He said he did not want to be respectful. He said he just wanted to have fun. But mom did not let him. She made him do what she said. She made him own his mistake. She made him learn his lesson. She made him be a better cousin.
+Tom and Jen were friends. They liked to play outside in the snow. One day, Tom had a new scarf. It was red and long and warm. Jen wanted to see it.
+
+"Show me your scarf, Tom," Jen said. "It looks nice."
+
+"OK, Jen," Tom said. He took off his scarf and gave it to Jen. Jen wrapped it around her neck and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. Your scarf is very soft. Can I keep it for a while?"
+
+"No, Jen. It is my scarf. My mom gave it to me. You have your own scarf. It is blue and regular."
+
+"But I like your scarf better, Tom. It is more fun. Please, let me have it."
+
+"No, Jen. Give it back to me. Now."
+
+Tom and Jen started to fight. They pulled and tugged on the scarf. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog liked to chase things that moved. The dog saw the scarf and thought it was a toy. The dog jumped and bit the scarf. The scarf ripped in half. Tom and Jen screamed. The dog ran away with the scarf.

+Tom and Jen were very sad. They both lost the scarf. They both had no scarf. They both had no friend. They both went home crying. The end.
+Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there was a strange machine with a button and a hole. Ben and Jen were curious and wanted to try the machine.
+
+They took their favorite toy sheep and put it in the hole. Then they pressed the button. The machine made a loud noise and a bright light. When the noise and the light stopped, they looked in the hole. The toy sheep was gone!
+
+"Where is our sheep?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe it came out from the other side," Jen said.
+
+They ran to the other side of the machine and saw a tiny sheep on the floor. It was blue and had a sad face.
+
+"Oh no! The machine shrunk our sheep and made it blue!" Jen cried.
+
+"Can we make it big again?" Ben wondered.
+
+They picked up the blue sheep and put it back in the hole. They pressed the button again. The machine made another noise and another light. But this time, nothing came out from the other side.
+
+"Where is our sheep now?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it disappeared," Jen said.
+
+They looked inside the machine and saw a lot of wires and sparks. The machine was broken.
+
+They started to cry. They had lost their toy sheep and they didn't know how to fix the machine. They heard their mom coming up the stairs.
+
+"What are you doing here? What is this mess?" their mom asked.
+
+She saw the broken machine and the blue sheep on the floor. She was angry and scared.
+
+"Did you touch this machine? Do you know what it is? It is very dangerous! It can shrink or grow anything! It belongs to your uncle, who is a scientist. He told me to never let you near it!" she yelled.
+
+She grabbed Ben and Jen by their arms and dragged them out of the attic. She locked the door and threw away the key.
+
+She told them they were in big trouble and they had to go to their room. They had no toys, no sheep, and no fun. They were very sorry and very sad. They wished they had never found the machine. The end.
+Tom and Anna are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like to play with the clock. The clock is big and round, and it has numbers and hands. Tom and Anna like to move the hands and make noises like tick-tock.
+
+"Look, Anna, I made the clock say six!" Tom says, pointing to the clock.
+
+"That's good, Tom, but it's not six. It's four. See?" Anna says, moving the hands back to four.
+
+"How do you know?" Tom asks.
+
+"Mom told me. She said four is important. That's when we have to get ready for dinner. And we have to be good and not make a mess." Anna says.
+
+"Oh, I see. But I like to make the clock say different things. It's fun." Tom says.
+
+"I know, Tom, but we have to listen to Mom. She knows what time it is. And she loves us." Anna says.
+
+"OK, Anna, you're right. I love Mom too. And I love you. And I love the clock. Can we play with it a little more?" Tom says.
+
+"Sure, Tom, but only a little. Then we have to put it back where it was. And we have to be careful. The clock is not a toy. It's important too." Anna says.
+
+They hug and smile, and play with the clock until Mom calls them for dinner. They are happy and hungry. They like the clock, but they like Mom more.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to watch the kites fly high in the sky, and feel the wind on their faces. The wind was strong and made the kites go fast.
+
+"Look, Lily, my kite is higher than yours!" Ben said.
+
+"No, mine is higher!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed and ran with their kites.
+
+But then, the wind got too strong. It pulled the kites so hard that they broke free from the strings. The kites flew away and landed on a tree.
+
+"Oh no, our kites!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+They ran to the tree and tried to get their kites back. But the tree was too tall and the kites were too far.
+
+They felt sad and angry. They wanted their kites back.
+
+"Who can help us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe we can ask the park ranger," Ben said.
+
+They saw a man in a green hat and a brown shirt. He had a badge and a walkie-talkie. He was the park ranger.
+
+They ran to him and told him what happened.
+
+"Please, can you help us get our kites back?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, I can help you," the park ranger said. "But you have to be careful. The tree is very big and the kites are very high. You have to wait here while I get a ladder."
+
+He went to his truck and got a ladder. He put the ladder against the tree and climbed up. He reached the kites and took them down.
+
+He gave the kites back to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Here you go, kids. Your kites are back. But they are a bit torn. You have to restore them before you can fly them again," he said.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They hugged the park ranger and thanked him again.
+
+They looked at their kites. They were a bit torn, but they still had their colors and shapes.
+
+They decided to restore them with some tape and paper.
+
+They worked together and fixed their kites.
+
+They were happy and proud.
+
+They thanked the park ranger one more time and said goodbye.
+
+They ran to the field and flew their kites again.
+
+The wind was still strong, but not too strong.
+
+They watched their kites fly high in the sky, and felt the wind on their faces.
+
+They smiled and said to each other:
+
+"This is an interesting day!"

+
+But a mean boy comes and takes the crystal. He says it is his. He runs away with it. Lila and Tom are sad and angry. They want the crystal back.
+
+They chase the mean boy. He is fast, but they are faster. They catch him near the slide. They ask him to give the crystal back. He says no. He pushes them and tries to run away again.
+
+But a lively dog sees the crystal. He thinks it is a ball. He jumps and bites it. The crystal breaks into pieces. The mean boy cries. He drops the pieces and runs away.
+
+Lila and Tom are sorry for the crystal. But they are happy for the dog. He wags his tail and licks their faces. They pet him and thank him for his help. They share the pieces of the crystal with him. They make a new friend. They play in the park. They have fun.
+Tom is a big boy who helps his dad deliver pizza. He likes to ride in the car and see different houses. Sometimes, people are happy to see him and give him a tip. A tip is extra money that they say thank you with.
+
+One day, Tom and his dad go to a big house with a lot of lights. Tom rings the bell and a lady opens the door. She smiles and takes the pizza. She says, "You are so cute! Here is a tip for you." She gives Tom a big coin and a candy.
+
+Tom is very happy. He says, "Thank you, lady!" He puts the coin and the candy in his pocket. He runs back to the car and shows his dad. His dad says, "Wow, that is a nice tip! You can buy something with it later."
+
+Tom thinks about what he wants to buy. He remembers that he saw a red hat in the store. He likes the hat because it has a star on it. He thinks it would fit him well. He says, "Dad, can we go to the store and buy the hat?"
+
+His dad says, "Sure, Tom. You worked hard today. You deserve a treat." He drives to the store and lets Tom pick the hat. Tom tries it on and it fits him perfectly. He looks in the mirror and feels proud. He says, "Thank you, dad! I love my hat!"
+
+His dad says, "You're welcome, Tom. I love you!" He hugs him and they go home. Tom wears his hat all the way and thinks he is the luckiest boy in the world. He can't wait to show his mom and his friends his new hat and his tip. He is very happy.
+Sam liked to play baseball with his friends. He had a big red ball and a wooden bat. He liked to hit the ball hard and run fast. He was good at baseball.
+
+One day, he wanted to play with his friends, but they were all busy. He felt sad and bored. He looked around his room for something to do. He saw his toy box. He decided to open it and see what was inside.
+
+He opened the toy box and found many toys. He found cars, trucks, planes, dolls, books, and puzzles. He also found a lazy cat. The cat was sleeping on top of the toys. It did not like to be disturbed.
+
+"Hey, cat, move!" Sam said. He tried to push the cat away, but the cat hissed and scratched him. Sam cried out in pain. He was angry at the cat.
+
+"Bad cat! Go away!" Sam shouted. He grabbed his baseball and threw it at the cat. The cat dodged the ball and jumped out of the toy box. The ball hit the wall and bounced back. It hit Sam on the head. Sam fell down and cried.
+
+The cat ran out of the room. Sam's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sam on the floor, holding his head. She saw the baseball and the toy box. She understood what happened.
+
+"Sam, are you okay?" she asked. She hugged him and kissed his head. She checked his scratch and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I was mad at the cat. He was lazy and mean. He scratched me and I threw the ball at him. But the ball hit me instead." Sam said.
+
+"I know, Sam. But you shouldn't throw things at animals. They have feelings too. Maybe the cat was just tired and wanted to sleep. You should be gentle and kind to him. He might be your friend if you try." Mom said.
+
+"Really? Do you think he will play with me?" Sam asked.
+
+"Maybe. But not with the baseball. That's too hard and scary for him. How about you find a soft toy or a string for him to chase? He might like that." Mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will try. Can I play with the toys in the box?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, Sam. But first, let's clean up the mess. And then, maybe you can call your friends and see if they want to play baseball with you later." Mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." Sam said.
+
+"I love you too, Sam." Mom said. They smiled and hugged. They cleaned up the room and put the toys back in the box. They left the lid open for the cat. Maybe he would come back and play with Sam. Sam hoped so. He liked to play. He liked baseball. And he liked the cat. Even if he was lazy.
+Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build different things with the blocks. They built houses, cars, towers and animals.
+
+"Let's build a planet!" Tom said. He had a big blue block and a small yellow block. He put the yellow block on top of the blue block. "This is the planet. The blue is the water and the yellow is the sun."
+
+"That's not a planet, that's a block!" Lily said. She had a big green block and a small red block. She put the red block on top of the green block. "This is the planet. The green is the grass and the red is the flower."
+
+They looked at each other's blocks. They did not agree. They started to argue.
+
+"No, this is the planet!"
+
+"No, this is the planet!"
+
+They got louder and louder. They did not listen to each other.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks and smiled.
+
+"Tom and Lily, you both built a planet. But they are different planets. There are many planets in the sky, and they are all different. Some have water, some have grass, some have sun, some have flowers. Some have other things that we don't know. Every planet is rare and special, just like you."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They felt sorry for arguing.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. Your planet is nice."
+
+"Sorry, Lily. Your planet is nice too."

+
+She took the yarn to her room and started to knit. But the yarn was not easy to knit. It was too hairy and tangled. Sara got frustrated and angry. She threw the yarn on the floor and yelled, "Stupid yarn! I hate you!"
+
+The yarn heard Sara and felt sad. It was not a ball of yarn. It was a kitten. A kitten that was lost and scared and hungry. It had hidden in the closet, hoping to find a friend. But Sara was not a friend. She was mean.
+
+The kitten crawled out of the yarn and looked at Sara. It said, "Meow. Why are you mean to me? I just wanted to play with you. I am not yarn. I am a kitten. A kitten that needs love and care and wash."
+
+Sara was surprised and ashamed. She saw the kitten's eyes and ears and nose and tail. She realized her mistake. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry, kitten. I didn't know you were a kitten. I thought you were yarn. I was wrong. You are not stupid. You are cute and fluffy and hairy. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The kitten nodded and purred. It rubbed against Sara's leg and licked her hand. Sara smiled and hugged the kitten. She said, "Yes, you can be my friend. And I will be your friend. And I will wash you and feed you and play with you. And I will make you a hat and a scarf and a doll with yarn. But not with you. With other yarn. You are not yarn. You are a kitten. A kitten that I love."

+The moral of the story is: Don't judge by appearances. Be kind and gentle to others. You might find a friend in unexpected places.

+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise. They ran into the room. They saw the mess. They saw Lily and Ben. They were not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Ben broke the lamp!" They both said.
+
+Mom and Dad sighed. They were disappointed. They said, "You should not fight over toys. You should share and be nice. You should not break things. You should be careful and respectful. Now you have to clean up and say sorry. And you have to go to bed early. No more playing for today."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had not broken the lamp. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other and to Mom and Dad. They helped to clean up. They went to bed early. They did not have fun. They had a bad ending.

+
+"Anna, Ben, I said time to bathe!" Mom calls again, louder. "You need to listen to me. It is not good to be dirty. And you need to take care of your toys. If you leave the fire truck wet, the battery will get damaged. Then the fire truck will not work anymore. Do you want that?"

+
+She saw a big house with many lights. She hoped someone would help her. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. She saw a window that was open. She climbed inside. She saw a bed with a warm blanket. She was so tired and cold. She crawled into the bed and fell asleep.
+
+Tommy came home from school. He ran to his room. He wanted to play with his toys. He was careless and did not close the window. He did not see Sara in his bed. He threw his backpack on the floor and jumped on the bed.

+
+He looked around and saw Lily and Tom giggling behind the door. He pretended to be angry and said, "Come here, you two. You are in big trouble. You have to eat all the prunes as punishment."
+
+Lily and Tom ran out of the door and hugged Mom and Dad. They said they were sorry and that they just wanted to joke. Mom and Dad smiled and said they were not really mad.

+
+"We were playing with the blocks, but Lily took some of mine and ruined my wall!" Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben took some of mine and was mean to me!" Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed and said, "You both need to learn to share and be kind to each other. The blocks are for everyone to enjoy, not to fight over. How would you feel if someone took your toys and broke them?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been selfish and rude. They said sorry to each other and hugged.
+
+"Can we play together again, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, but only if you promise to be nice and respectful," Mom said.
+
+"We promise, Mom," Ben said.
+
+They picked up the blocks and started to build a new wall together. They used all the colors and shapes of the blocks, and made it bigger and stronger than before. They were happy and proud of their wall, and thanked Mom for teaching them a lesson.

+Tom and Lily liked to dig in the dirt. They looked for shiny rocks and pretty shells. One day, they found a big black rock. It was heavy and hard.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe it is a mineral," Lily said. "Minerals are rocks that have something special inside."

+Tim and Sam do not listen. They keep pulling the toy.
+
+Mom says, "If you do not share, I will take the toy away. Do you want that?"
+
+Tim and Sam do not want that. They love the toy.
+
+Mom says, "Then you have to play nicely. How about this? You can weigh the toy and see who gets it first. The one who guesses the right weight gets the toy first. Then the other one gets it next. OK?"
+
+Tim and Sam think that is a good idea. They like to weigh things. They have a scale that shows numbers.
+
+They put the toy on the scale. The scale shows 10.
+
+Tim says, "I think the toy weighs 9."
+
+Sam says, "I think the toy weighs 11."
+
+Mom says, "Let's see who is right. The toy weighs 10. That means Sam is closer. He gets the toy first. Then Tim gets it next. OK?"
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They are happy. They are not angry and jealous anymore. They say sorry to each other and hug.
+
+They play with the toy and take turns. They have fun. They are good friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to swing on it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, you can go first. But not for too long. I want to swing too," Ben says.
+
+Anna runs to the swing. She sits on it. She holds the ropes. She kicks her legs. She swings high and low. She feels happy.
+
+"Anna, it's my turn now. You have been swinging for a long time," Ben says.
+
+"Just one more minute. I like to swing," Anna says.
+
+But she does not stop. She swings more and more. She does not share. She is rude.
+
+Ben is sad. He waits and waits. He sees a cart. The cart has wheels. The cart has toys. The cart belongs to another kid.
+
+"Can I play with your cart?" Ben asks the kid.
+
+"Sure, you can play with my cart. I have many toys. You can choose one," the kid says.
+
+He is nice. He shares. He is not rude.
+
+Ben takes a toy. He puts it in the cart. He pushes the cart. He has fun.
+
+Anna sees Ben. She sees the cart. She sees the toy. She wants the toy. She stops swinging. She runs to Ben.
+
+"Give me that toy. It's mine," Anna says.
+
+She grabs the toy. She pulls it. She is rude.
+
+"Hey, that's not your toy. That's my toy. I got it from the kid. He let me play with his cart," Ben says.
+
+He holds the toy. He does not let go. He is not rude.
+
+The kid sees Anna and Ben. He sees the toy. He sees the cart. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, that's my toy. That's my cart. You can't take them. You have to ask. You have to share. You are rude," the kid says.
+
+He takes the toy. He takes the cart. He walks away. He does not play with Anna and Ben.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They lose the toy. They lose the cart. They lose the kid. They are rude.
+
+They look at each other. They feel bad.
+
+"Anna, I'm sorry. I should have let you swing more," Ben says.
+
+"Ben, I'm sorry. I should have let you swing too. I should not have taken the toy," Anna says.
+
+They hug. They say sorry. They are not rude.
+
+They go back to the swing. They take turns. They swing high and low. They feel happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a man with a big mustache sitting on a bench. He was eating a sweet cake.
+
+"Look at his mustache!" Tom said. "It is so long and funny!"
+
+"I want to touch it!" Anna said. "Maybe it is soft and fluffy!"
+
+They ran to the man and said hello. The man smiled and said hello back. He offered them a piece of his cake.
+
+"Thank you!" Tom and Anna said. They took the cake and ate it. It was very sweet and yummy.
+
+"Can we touch your mustache?" Anna asked. "It looks so nice!"
+
+The man nodded and said yes. He leaned down and let them touch his mustache.
+
+Tom and Anna felt his mustache. It was not soft and fluffy. It was hard and prickly. They did not like it.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom said. "It hurts my hand!"
+
+"Me too!" Anna said. "It is not nice at all!"
+
+They had an idea. They decided to pull his mustache. Maybe it would come off and they could play with it.
+
+They grabbed his mustache and pulled hard. The man screamed and jumped up. He was very angry and sad.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" he said. "What are you doing? You are hurting me! You are bad children!"
+
+He chased them away and shouted at them. He did not give them any more cake. He did not want to be their friend.
+
+Tom and Anna ran away. They were scared and sorry. They had made a big mistake. They had hurt the man and his mustache. They had lost their cake and their friend.
+
+They cried and said sorry. But it was too late. The man did not hear them. He did not forgive them.
+
+The end.
+Lily was a brave girl who liked to play with her sword. She made it from a stick and some paper. She pretended to be a knight who fought bad dragons and saved people.
+
+One day, she saw a big dog in the park. It was barking and running after a small cat. Lily wanted to help the cat. She ran towards the dog with her sword. She shouted, "Stop, bad dog! Leave the cat alone!"
+
+The dog saw Lily and stopped. It was not afraid of her sword. It was bigger and stronger than Lily. It growled and showed its teeth. Lily felt weak and scared. She wished she had a real sword.
+
+But then, she heard a voice. It was her dad. He came to provide help. He had a leash in his hand. He said, "Lily, don't worry. This is not a bad dog. It is just playful. It belongs to our neighbor. He escaped from his yard. I will take him back."
+
+He put the leash on the dog and petted it. The dog wagged its tail and licked his hand. Lily saw that the dog was not mean. It was just excited. She felt sorry for being angry at it.
+
+She also saw the cat. It was hiding under a bench. It was not hurt. It was just scared. Lily went to the cat and said, "Sorry, cat. I tried to save you. But my sword was not good enough. Are you okay?"
+
+The cat came out and rubbed against her leg. It purred and licked her face. Lily smiled and hugged the cat. She said, "You are welcome, cat. I am glad you are safe. You are my friend."
+
+She looked at her dad and the dog. They were also friends. She said, "Dad, can we play with the dog and the cat? They are nice. And I still have my sword."
+
+Her dad nodded and smiled. He said, "Sure, Lily. We can play with them. You are a brave and kind knight. And your sword is good enough for me."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to make towers and castles and bridges. Lily wanted to be a queen and Ben wanted to be a knight.
+
+"Look at my castle, Ben!" Lily said. "It is big and strong and has a flag. I am the queen of this castle and you are my knight. You have to protect me from the bad guys."
+
+Ben nodded and picked up a wooden sword. He liked to pretend to fight with the bad guys. He made noises like "swish" and "pow" and "ouch". He ran around the castle and pretended to number the bad guys. Number means to count or to make less.
+
+But then, he saw another castle. It was bigger and stronger and had a bigger flag. It was Tom's castle. Tom was Lily's big brother. He was five years old and he did not like to play with Lily and Ben. He liked to play with his cars and his robots.
+
+"Wow, look at that castle, Lily!" Ben said. "It is bigger than yours. Can we go and see it?"
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like Tom's castle. She liked her own castle. She was the queen of her castle and she did not want to share.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't go and see it," Lily said. "That is Tom's castle and he is mean. He will break our blocks and make us cry. We have to stay here and play with our castle."
+
+But Ben was eager. Eager means to want something very much. He wanted to see Tom's castle. He wanted to see if it had more blocks and more flags and more things to play with.
+
+"Please, Lily, please," Ben said. "Just for a little bit. We can go and see Tom's castle and then come back to ours. Please, please, please."
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to go. She did not want to leave her castle. She did not want to make Tom angry.
+
+"No, Ben, no," Lily said. "We can't go and we won't go. You have to stay here with me and be my knight. You have to do what I say. I am the queen and you are not."
+
+Ben felt sad. He felt sad and mad. He wanted to see Tom's castle. He wanted to be free. He did not want to do what Lily said. He did not want to be her knight.
+
+"Fine, Lily, fine," Ben said. "If you don't want to go, then I will go by myself. I don't want to be your knight. I don't want to play with you. I want to play with Tom's castle. Bye, bye, Lily."
+
+And he ran away. He ran away from Lily and her castle. He ran away to Tom's castle. He ran away to see what he could find. He ran away and did not look back.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bag of oats. They are hungry and want to eat some.
+
+"Can I have some oats, please?" Jen asks Tom.
+
+"OK, but only a little. These are my oats. I found them first," Tom says. He gives Jen a small handful of oats.
+
+Jen eats the oats. They are sweet and crunchy. She wants more. She sees that Tom has a lot of oats left. She reaches for the bag.
+
+"Hey, stop! These are my oats!" Tom shouts. He pulls the bag away from Jen. He is grumpy.
+
+Jen is sad and angry. She thinks Tom is mean. She grabs the bag back from Tom. They start to fight over the bag. They pull and tug and yell.
+
+The bag rips. The oats spill out. They fall on the ground. The birds come and eat the oats. Tom and Jen have no oats left.
+
+They look at each other. They are sorry. They want to say sorry. They want to forgive each other. But they don't. They are too proud. They are too grumpy.
+
+They walk away. They are not friends anymore. They are alone. They are hungry. They are unhappy. The end.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together at school. They are popular. Many kids want to play with them.
+
+One day, they have lunch in the cafeteria. Lily has a sandwich and Ben has a pizza. They share their food and talk. They are happy.
+
+But then, a boy named Max comes to their table. He is mean. He wants Ben's pizza. He grabs it from his plate. Ben is angry. He shouts at Max.
+
+"Hey, that's my pizza! Give it back!"
+
+Max laughs. He does not care. He takes a big bite of the pizza. He makes a mess. He drops some cheese on Lily's napkin.
+
+Lily is sad. She likes her napkin. It has flowers on it. She shouts at Max too.
+
+"Stop it, Max! You are rude! You ruined my napkin!"
+
+Max laughs more. He does not care. He throws the napkin on the floor. He runs away with the pizza.
+
+Lily and Ben are mad. They look at each other. They have an idea. They get up and chase Max. They want their food back. They are brave.
+Lila and Tom were playing outside on the lawn. They liked to run and jump and roll on the green grass. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks.
+
+One day, they saw a big brown dog on the other side of the fence. The dog was barking and growling and showing its teeth. Lila and Tom were fearful of the dog. They did not want it to bite them or chase them.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tom," Lila said. "The dog is scary."
+
+"No, Lila," Tom said. "The dog is not scary. It is just lonely and sad. Maybe it wants to play with us."
+
+Tom walked towards the fence. He wanted to pet the dog and make it happy. Lila followed him, but she was still fearful.
+
+The dog saw Tom and Lila. It stopped barking and growling. It wagged its tail and licked its nose. It looked friendly and curious.
+
+Tom reached out his hand and touched the dog's head. The dog licked Tom's hand and wagged its tail more. Tom smiled and said, "See, Lila? The dog is nice. It likes us."
+
+Lila came closer and touched the dog's ear. The dog licked Lila's hand and nuzzled her cheek. Lila smiled and said, "You're right, Tom. The dog is nice. It likes us."
+
+They played with the dog for a while. They threw a stick and the dog fetched it. They rubbed its belly and the dog rolled over. They scratched its chin and the dog closed its eyes.
+
+Then they heard their mom calling them. It was time to go inside. They said goodbye to the dog and gave it a hug. The dog barked and wagged its tail.
+
+They ran to their mom and told her about the dog. Their mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Lila and Tom. You made a new friend today."
+
+She wiped their faces and hands with a cloth. They had dirt and grass and dog saliva on them. They did not mind. They were happy and proud. They hoped to see the dog again soon.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big squash growing on a vine. Anna wanted to pick it and fill a basket with it. Ben wanted to leave it alone.
+
+"Let's take the squash, Anna said. "It is big and yellow and round. We can make soup with it."
+
+"No, Ben said. "The squash is not ours. It belongs to the farmer. He will be angry if we take it. He works hard to grow it."
+
+Anna did not listen to Ben. She was ignorant. She thought the farmer would not mind. She pulled the squash from the vine. It was heavy and hard. She tried to lift it, but it slipped from her hands. It fell on the ground and broke. The seeds and the flesh came out.
+
+"Oh no, Anna said. "Look what I did. The squash is ruined. The farmer will be mad."
+
+Ben shook his head. He was sad and disappointed. He said to Anna, "You should have listened to me. You were greedy and foolish. Now we have to say sorry to the farmer and help him clean up the mess."
+
+Anna felt bad. She realized she made a mistake. She said to Ben, "You are right. I was ignorant. I am sorry. Let's go and find the farmer and tell him the truth."
+Tom and Mia were making a cake with Mom. They had eggs, flour, sugar, and butter. Mom said, "We need to include butter in the cake. It makes it soft and yummy." She gave Tom and Mia a big spoon and a bowl of butter.
+
+Tom and Mia took turns to scoop the butter with the spoon. They tried to put it in the big bowl with the other ingredients, but some of it fell on the table, on the floor, and on their faces. They laughed and licked the butter. It was sweet and creamy.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are very good helpers, but you are also very messy. Let me help you mix the butter with the eggs, flour, and sugar. Then we can bake the cake in the oven." She took the big spoon and stirred the batter. It looked smooth and yellow.
+
+Tom and Mia watched as Mom poured the batter into a round pan. She put the pan in the oven and said, "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake. It will take about half an hour. Do you want to help me clean up the kitchen?" Tom and Mia nodded. They liked to help Mom.
+
+After half an hour, Mom took the cake out of the oven. It smelled delicious and looked golden. She let it cool on a rack and then decorated it with frosting and sprinkles. She said, "The cake is ready. It looks perfect. Do you want to taste it?" Tom and Mia said, "Yes, please!" They each got a big slice of cake and ate it with a fork. It was soft and yummy. They said, "Thank you, Mom. This is the best cake ever!" Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and had special powers. Lily had a cape and a mask, and Ben had a sword and a shield. They ran around the slides and swings, making noises and having fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I see a bad man!" Ben said, pointing to a man sitting on a bench. The man was wearing a hat and a coat, and had a newspaper in his hands. He looked very ordinary, but Ben thought he was hiding something.
+
+"Let's go and stop him, Ben!" Lily said, following Ben. They crept behind the man and shouted, "Stop, bad man! We are superheroes and we will catch you!"
+
+The man was surprised and turned around. He saw the two children with their toys and smiled. He was not a bad man, he was just a man who liked to read the newspaper.
+
+"Hello, superheroes," he said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"We are saving the park from bad people like you," Lily said.
+
+The man laughed. "I'm not a bad person, I'm just a person. Why do you think I'm bad?"
+
+"Because you have a hat and a coat and a newspaper," Ben said. "You look like a spy or a robber."
+
+The man shook his head. "No, no, I'm not a spy or a robber. I'm just a man who likes to wear a hat and a coat and read the newspaper. It's cold today, and the newspaper has interesting stories."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt a little silly. Maybe the man was not a bad man after all.
+
+"Sorry, man," Lily said. "We didn't mean to scare you. We were just playing."
+
+"That's all right, superheroes," the man said. "I like to play too, sometimes. You know, you remind me of myself when I was a child. I also liked to pretend I was a superhero and had special powers. I had a cape and a mask, and a sword and a shield, just like you."
+
+"Really?" Ben said. "That's cool. What was your superhero name?"
+
+The man smiled and winked. "That's a secret, superheroes. Maybe you'll find out someday. Now, why don't you go and play some more, and I'll go and read some more. Have fun, and be careful."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and waved. They ran back to their toys and continued their game. They still liked to pretend they were superheroes, but they also learned that sometimes, ordinary people can be interesting too.
+Sara and Tom liked to play at the harbor. They liked to watch the big boats and the small boats. They liked to see the fish and the birds. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes.
+
+One day, they saw a new boat. It was very fast and shiny. It had a big flag and a loud horn. Sara and Tom wanted to see it closer. They ran to the dock and climbed on the boat.
+
+"Hello, little ones," said a man on the boat. He had a big hat and a big smile. "Do you like my boat?"
+
+"Yes, we do," said Sara and Tom. "It is very fast and shiny."
+
+"Would you like to go for a ride?" asked the man.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They wanted to go for a ride, but they also knew they should not leave the harbor without their mom and dad.
+
+"Maybe later," said Sara.
+
+"Maybe another day," said Tom.
+
+They climbed off the boat and ran back to the sand. They did not see the man's smile turn into a frown. They did not hear him say, "Too bad. You would have made a nice snack for my shark."
+
+The man started the boat and left the harbor. He was very fast and very hungry. He did not see the big police boat that followed him. He did not hear the loud siren that warned him. He did not know that Sara and Tom had made a smart choice.
+Mark is a little boy who loves to draw. He has many colors of crayons and papers to make pictures. One day, he decides to draw a hippo, because he saw one at the zoo and liked it very much. He takes a big gray crayon and starts to make a big round body, four short legs, a long nose and two small ears.
+
+"Look, Mommy, I'm drawing a hippo!" he says proudly, showing his picture to his mother.
+
+"That's very good, Mark!" his mother says, smiling. "You are very good at drawing. What is the hippo doing?"
+
+Mark thinks for a moment. He remembers that the hippo at the zoo was very peaceful and liked to swim in the water and rest on the grass. He takes a blue crayon and draws some water around the hippo. Then he takes a green crayon and draws some grass and trees. He also draws a sun and some birds in the sky.
+
+"The hippo is happy and peaceful," he says. "He likes to swim and rest and enjoy the sun and the birds. He is not afraid of anything."
+
+"That's a very nice story, Mark," his mother says. "You have a big imagination. Can I hang your picture on the fridge?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Mark says, happily. "I want everyone to see my hippo. He is my friend."
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making soup for lunch. She tells Tom and Sam to watch the pot and stir the soup. She goes to the living room to talk on the phone.
+
+Tom and Sam are bored. They want to have fun. They see a big jar of salt on the counter. Tom has an idea. He says to Sam, "Let's add salt to the soup. It will make it taste better." Sam thinks it is a good idea. He says, "OK, let's do it." They take the jar and pour a lot of salt into the pot. They stir the soup and laugh.
+
+Mom comes back to the kitchen. She smells the soup and says, "Mmm, it smells good. Let's have lunch." She serves the soup to Tom, Sam and herself. She takes a sip and makes a terrible face. She says, "Yuck, this soup is too salty. It is terrible. What did you do?" Tom and Sam look at each other. They feel bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We added salt to the soup. We wanted to have fun."
+
+Mom is angry. She says, "That was not fun. That was naughty. You wasted the soup and made me sad. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. No soup for you." She takes away their bowls and sends them to their room. Tom and Sam cry. They wish they did not add salt to the soup. They wish they listened to Mom. They have a bad lunch and a bad day.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play on the porch. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and books.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are playing with the cars. They make them go fast and slow. They make them beep and honk. They have fun.
+
+But then, Lily's mom calls her. She says it is time to go home. Lily says bye to Ben. She picks up her coat and hat. She runs to her mom.
+
+But she forgets something. She forgets her car. She leaves it on the porch. She does not see it.
+
+Ben sees the car. He likes the car. It is red and shiny. He thinks Lily gave it to him. He says thank you. He puts it in his box.
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben play again. Lily looks for her car. She does not find it. She asks Ben. Ben says it is his car. He says Lily gave it to him. Lily says no. She says she forgot it. She says it is her car.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want to share. They do not want to play. They sit on the porch. They are quiet.
+
+Then, Lily's mom comes. She sees the car. She knows it is Lily's car. She tells Ben. She says Lily forgot it. She says it is a mistake. She says they can share.
+
+Ben and Lily are sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They share the car. They play again. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. Lily draws a big sun and a house. Ben draws a car and a tree. They are happy.
+
+But then, Lily makes a mistake. She draws a line over the sun. She does not like it. She wants to erase it. She looks for an eraser. She does not have one.
+
+"Ben, can I use your eraser?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, Lily. Here you go." Ben gives Lily his eraser. It is pink and soft. Lily likes it.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice." Lily erases the line. She draws a smile on the sun. She is happy again.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you are happy." Ben says.
+
+Lily and Ben finish their drawings. They show them to each other. They like them. They are proud.
+
+"Lily, you are a good friend. I love you." Ben says.
+
+"Ben, you are a good friend too. I love you." Lily says.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They have an easy and fun day. They have an eraser and crayons. They have each other.
+Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red cloth and a shiny tin of polish. She rubbed the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She made them look very bright and clean.
+
+One day, it was gloomy outside. The sky was grey and the rain was falling. Lily wanted to go out and play, but her mom said no. She said it was too wet and cold. Lily was sad. She looked at her shoes and thought they would get dirty in the mud.
+
+She decided to polish them anyway. She took her cloth and her tin and went to the kitchen. She sat on the floor and started to polish her shoes. She did not see the drain on the floor. It was where the water from the sink went. It had a metal cover with holes in it.
+
+Lily was so busy polishing her shoes that she did not notice that her tin of polish was sliding towards the drain. She rubbed and rubbed and smiled at her shoes. Then she heard a clink. She looked up and saw that her tin of polish had fallen into the drain. She tried to reach it, but it was too deep. She could not get it back.
+
+Lily started to cry. She had lost her polish. She could not make her shoes shiny anymore. She felt very bad. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed in her room.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor and the empty drain. She understood what had happened. She hugged Lily and said it was okay. She said she would buy her a new tin of polish. She said she was sorry for the gloomy day. She said they could make some cookies and read some stories instead.
+
+Lily stopped crying and smiled. She liked cookies and stories. She thanked her mom and gave her a kiss. She said she loved her. She said she would be more careful with her polish next time. She said she hoped the sun would come out soon.
+Tom was a blue fox who liked to play in the woods. He had many friends, like Sam the squirrel and Lily the rabbit. They liked to run, jump and hide together.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big bird in the sky. It had white and black feathers and a long yellow beak. Tom wondered what it was. He asked Sam and Lily, but they did not know.
+
+"Maybe it is a friend," Tom said. "I want to say hello."
+
+Tom ran to a big hill and climbed to the top. He saw the bird flying closer and closer. He waved his paws and shouted, "Hello, bird! I am Tom the blue fox!"
+
+The bird heard Tom and looked down. It was not a friend. It was an eagle, and it was hungry. It saw Tom and thought, "What a tasty snack!"
+
+The eagle swooped down and tried to grab Tom with its sharp claws. Tom was scared. He dodged and ran down the hill. The eagle followed him and tried again and again.
+
+Tom ran to his friends and told them what happened. Sam and Lily were scared too. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they saw a big tree with a hole in the trunk. They had an idea.
+
+"Quick, Tom, go inside the hole!" Sam said. "The eagle can't get you there!"
+
+Tom ran to the tree and jumped inside the hole. The eagle saw him and flew to the tree. It tried to reach Tom with its beak, but it was too big. It could not fit in the hole.
+
+Tom was safe. He peeked out and saw the eagle. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Ha ha, bird! You can't get me!"
+
+The eagle was angry. It flapped its wings and soared away. It looked for another snack.
+
+Tom came out of the hole and hugged his friends. They were happy. They had saved Tom from the eagle.
+
+They decided to play somewhere else, away from the big bird. They ran, jumped and hid together, and had fun. Tom was a blue fox who liked to play in the woods. He had many friends, and he was brave.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the garden. They saw a butterfly with many colors on its wings. They wanted to catch it and look at it.
+
+"Let's follow it!" Lily said. She ran after the butterfly, but it flew away.
+
+"Wait for me!" Sam said. He tried to run, but he tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Sam's cry and came back to him. She saw his knee was bleeding. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Don't cry, Sam. I will help you," she said. She took a leaf and wiped his knee. Then she hugged him and said, "You are my reliable friend. You always stand by me when I need you."
+
+Sam smiled and hugged her back. He said, "You are my reliable friend too. You always make me happy when I am sad."
+
+They saw the butterfly again. It landed on a flower near them. It seemed to say hello to them.
+
+"Look, the butterfly is back!" Lily said. "Maybe it likes us."
+
+"Maybe it does," Sam said. "It is very pretty and friendly."
+
+They watched the butterfly for a while. Then they decided to let it go. They waved goodbye to it and thanked it for visiting them.
+
+They went back to their house, holding hands. They were happy and proud of their friendship.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and bikes. One day, they saw a fancy car on the road. It was shiny and big and had a loud horn.
+
+"Wow, look at that car!" Ben said. "I wish I had a car like that."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "It looks so fun to drive."
+
+They ran after the car, hoping to get a closer look. They did not see the other cars and trucks on the road. They did not hear their moms calling them to stop.
+
+The fancy car stopped at a red light. Ben and Lily reached the car and touched it. It felt smooth and cool. They saw the driver inside. He was wearing a hat and sunglasses. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, get away from my car!" he shouted. "You are making it dirty with your hands!"
+
+He rolled down the window and grabbed Ben's shirt. He pulled hard and tore it. Ben cried out in pain and fear.
+
+"Let go of him!" Lily yelled. She tried to help Ben, but the driver pushed her away. He threw Ben's shirt on the road and drove away.
+
+Ben and Lily were left on the road, hurt and scared. They saw their moms running towards them. They saw the other cars and trucks honking and swerving. They saw Ben's shirt lying on the road, torn and dirty.
+
+They wished they had never seen the fancy car. They wished they had stayed with their toys and bikes. They wished they had listened to their moms. They learned a hard lesson that day.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+They take the box to the backyard. They use scissors to cut a door and windows. They use crayons to draw flowers and stars. They are happy with their work.
+
+They go inside the box. They pretend to cook and eat. They have cookies and juice. Ben takes a big bite of his cookie. He chews and chews.
+
+"Ow!" he says. "Something hurts my tooth!"
+
+He spits out the cookie. He sees a small metal thing. It is shiny and hard.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it was in the cookie."
+
+They look at the cookie. They see more metal things. They are harsh and sharp.
+
+"Yuck!" Mia says. "We can't eat these cookies. They are bad."
+
+They throw away the cookies. They drink the juice. They are sad.
+
+"Who put metal in the cookies?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it was a mistake."
+
+They hug each other. They decide to play something else. They leave the box. They hope their tooth will be okay.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys in Tom's room. Tom has a big case with many cars and trucks. Mia likes to look at them and touch them.
+
+One day, Tom does not want to share his case with Mia. He says, "No, Mia, this is my case. You cannot play with my cars and trucks. Go away!" He puts the case on his bed and tries to prevent Mia from reaching it.
+
+Mia is sad and angry. She wants to play with Tom and his case. She says, "Tom, that is not nice. You are my friend. We should share and have fun. Please let me play with your case too!" She tries to climb on the bed and grab the case.
+
+Tom and Mia start to fight. They pull and push each other. They yell and cry. They make a big mess in Tom's room. They do not have fun.
+
+Tom's mom hears the noise and comes to Tom's room. She sees Tom and Mia fighting over the case. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, Mia, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are both patient and kind. You should not act like this. You should apologize and share your toys."
+
+Tom and Mia feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Mia." They hug and make up. They decide to share the case and play together. They are patient and take turns. They have fun. Tom's mom smiles and leaves them to play.
+Tom and Anna like to play in the kitchen. They find a big pot and put it on the floor. They pretend it is a boat and they are pirates. They say "Arrr!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" and laugh.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She is angry. She sees the pot on the floor and the mess they made. She says "What are you doing? This is not a toy! You are naughty children!"
+
+Tom and Anna are frightened. They hide under the table. They hope Mom will not be mad at them. They say "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she loves Tom and Anna. She says "I know you were just playing, but you have to be careful. The pot is heavy and hot. You could hurt yourself or break something. Next time, ask me before you use something from the kitchen. Now, help me clean up and then we can have a snack."
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They come out from under the table. They help Mom pick up the pot and the other things. They say "Thank you, Mom. We love you." Mom smiles. She says "I love you too. Now, how about some cookies and milk?" Tom and Anna cheer. They hug Mom and laugh.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big pot on the stove. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's look in the pot," Tom said.
+
+"OK," Sue said.
+
+They climbed on a chair and lifted the lid. They saw a thick soup with carrots and potatoes. It smelled good.
+
+"Can we have some?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, it's too hot," Sue said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He reached for a spoon and dipped it in the soup. He burned his tongue and spat it out.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried.
+
+Sue was scared. She dropped the lid and it made a loud noise. Their mom came running into the kitchen.
+
+"What happened?" she asked.
+
+She saw Tom crying and Sue hiding behind the chair. She saw the pot and the spoon and the soup on the floor.
+
+She was angry and sad. She hugged Tom and Sue and said, "You should not play with the pot. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You should ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen."
+
+Tom and Sue said they were sorry. They helped their mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They did not play with the pot again.
+Lily was a fish who lived in a big lake. She liked to swim and play with her friends, but sometimes she felt lonely. She wanted to see new things and have new adventures.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny thing in the water. It looked like a star, but it moved and made a sound. Lily felt an urge to go closer and touch it. She swam towards the shiny thing, but her friend Sam stopped her.
+
+"Wait, Lily, that's not a star, that's a hook!" Sam said. "It's a trap from the people who live on the land. They want to catch us and eat us. Don't go near it, it's dangerous!"
+
+But Lily did not listen to Sam. She thought he was just scared and boring. She wanted to see the hook for herself. She said, "I don't care, Sam, I want to have fun. You can stay here if you want, but I'm going to see the hook."
+
+She swam away from Sam and towards the hook. She reached out her fin and touched the shiny thing. It felt cold and hard. She liked it. She tried to pull it closer, but it did not move. Instead, it pulled her up. She felt a sharp pain in her mouth. She was scared and sad. She wished she had listened to Sam.
+
+Sam saw Lily being pulled up by the hook. He felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her, but he did not know how. He watched as Lily disappeared from the water and into the air. He hoped she would be okay, but he knew she was in trouble.
+
+He learned a lesson that day. He learned that some things are not what they seem, and that it is better to be careful and listen to your friends than to be curious and reckless. He also learned that he missed Lily, and that he was not lonely with her. He hoped she would come back, but he never saw her again.
+Tommy was a little boy who liked to observe things. He liked to look at the birds, the flowers, the cars and the stars. He had a big book with pictures of many things he could observe. He also had a telescope that his dad gave him for his birthday.
+
+One night, Tommy wanted to observe the moon. He took his telescope and his book and went to his room. He put his telescope on the window sill and opened his book. He found the page with the moon and read the words. He learned that the moon was a big ball of rock that shone at night. He also learned that the moon had different shapes and sometimes it was full and sometimes it was not.
+
+He looked through his telescope and saw the moon. It was full and bright. He was happy and excited. He tried to find the craters and the seas that his book showed him. He observed the moon for a long time.
+
+Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. He turned around and saw a big shadow on his wall. It looked like a monster with horns and claws. He was frightened and screamed. He dropped his book and his telescope and ran to his bed. He grabbed his pillow and hid under it.
+
+His mom and dad heard his scream and came to his room. They turned on the light and saw the shadow. They also saw the book and the telescope on the floor. They realized what had happened. They smiled and went to Tommy's bed. They lifted his pillow and saw his scared face.
+
+"Tommy, it's okay. It's not a monster. It's just a shadow," his mom said.
+
+"A shadow? What is a shadow?" Tommy asked.
+
+"A shadow is when something blocks the light and makes a dark shape on the wall. Look, it's your coat on the chair. See, it has horns and claws. It's not a monster, it's just a coat," his dad said.
+
+He took the coat and moved it away from the light. The shadow disappeared. He showed Tommy the coat and the chair.
+
+"See, no more shadow. No more monster. Just a coat and a chair," he said.
+
+Tommy looked and saw that his dad was right. He felt silly and relieved. He smiled and hugged his mom and dad.
+
+"Thank you, mom and dad. I'm sorry I screamed. I was frightened," he said.
+
+"It's okay, Tommy. We understand. You were just observing the moon and you got a surprise. But now you know what a shadow is. Maybe you can observe shadows too. They can be fun and interesting," his mom said.
+
+"Really? How?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Well, you can make your own shadows with your hands and fingers. You can make animals and shapes and stories. Do you want to try?" his dad asked.
+
+"Yes, please. That sounds fun," Tommy said.
+
+They turned off the light and turned on a lamp. They sat on the bed and made shadows on the wall. They made a dog, a cat, a bird, a fish, a star and a moon. They made a story about a dog and a cat who went to the moon. Tommy laughed and clapped. He was not frightened anymore. He was happy and curious. He liked to observe things. He liked to observe the moon and the shadows. He liked to observe with his mom and dad. He hugged his pillow and fell asleep.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and white feathers. It was a swan. Tom wanted to touch the swan's wing. He ran towards the swan.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Lily shouted. "The swan may not like it. It may bite you."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He reached out his hand to the swan's wing. The swan did not seem happy. It hissed and snapped at Tom. Tom was scared and ran away. He hurt his hand and cried.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, too. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The swan was not gentle. It wanted to be left alone."
+
+Lily said, "That's okay, Tom. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them. Next time, we should be gentle and respectful to the animals. They have feelings, too."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They decided to watch the swan from a distance and enjoy its beauty. They also said sorry to the swan and thanked it for teaching them. The swan seemed to forgive them and nodded its head. Tom and Lily felt happy and proud. They had a good day in the park.
+Mia and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room. Mia had a lovely doll that she liked to dress up and hug. Leo had a big truck that he liked to zoom around and make noises. They were having fun until Leo decided to take Mia's doll and put it in his truck.
+
+"Stop!" Mia cried. "That's my doll! Give it back!"
+
+"No!" Leo said. "It's my truck! I can put anything in it!"
+
+Mia ran after Leo and tried to grab her doll, but Leo was faster and drove his truck away. Mia was very angry and sad. She started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Mia crying and Leo holding the doll in his truck.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Leo took my doll!" Mia sobbed. "He won't give it back!"
+
+"Leo, that's not nice," Mom said. "You have to share your toys with your sister. How would you feel if she took your truck?"
+
+Leo thought for a moment. He liked his truck very much. He didn't want Mia to take it.
+
+"I would feel bad," Leo said.
+
+"Then you should give Mia her doll back," Mom said. "She feels bad too."
+
+Leo looked at Mia. She was still crying. He felt sorry for her. He gave her the doll back.
+
+"Here, Mia," Leo said. "I'm sorry. You can have your doll."
+
+Mia stopped crying and smiled. She took her doll and hugged it.
+
+"Thank you, Leo," Mia said. "You're a good brother."
+
+Mom was proud of Leo and Mia. She hugged them both.
+
+"That's very kind of you, Leo," Mom said. "And I'm glad you're happy, Mia. Now, how about we have some cookies and milk?"
+
+"Yay!" Leo and Mia said. They followed Mom to the kitchen.
+
+But before they could eat their cookies, Mom gave them each a spoonful of medicine.
+
+"It's good for you," Mom said. "It will keep you healthy and strong."
+
+Leo and Mia didn't like the medicine. It tasted yucky. They made faces and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck!" Leo and Mia said. "We don't want medicine!"
+
+Mom sighed. She knew it was hard to make them take their medicine, but she had to try again.
+
+"Come on, Leo and Mia," Mom said. "You have to take your medicine. It's not so bad. I'll give you another cookie if you do."
+
+Leo and Mia looked at each other. They liked cookies. They wanted another one. They decided to take their medicine.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Leo and Mia said. They opened their mouths and swallowed the medicine.
+
+Mom smiled and gave them each another cookie.
+
+"That's my lovely children," Mom said. "You did very well. Now, enjoy your cookies and milk."
+
+Leo and Mia ate their cookies and drank their milk. They felt better. They thanked Mom and gave her a kiss.
+
+"Can we go back to play?" Leo asked.
+
+"Sure," Mom said. "But remember to share your toys and be nice to each other."
+
+"We will, Mom," Leo and Mia said. They ran back to the living room with their toys.
+
+They played together nicely for the rest of the day. They learned to share and to say sorry. They had fun and they loved each other. They were happy.
+Anna loved to play the piano. She liked to make music with her fingers and hear the sounds. Sometimes she played happy songs, sometimes sad songs, sometimes silly songs. She played every day after school, when her mom was cooking or reading.
+
+One day, Anna came home from school and saw that her piano was gone. She felt very sad and angry. She ran to her mom and asked, "Where is my piano? Who took it?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. We had to sell the piano. We need money to pay for the rent and the food. We can't keep the piano anymore."
+
+Anna cried and cried. She didn't want to lose her piano. She loved her piano. It was her friend. She said, "But mom, I need the piano. It makes me happy. It makes me feel better. How can I play without it?"
+
+Her mom comforted her and said, "I know, Anna. I know how much you love the piano. But you can still play music in your heart. You can still sing and hum and clap. You can still listen to music on the radio or the phone. You can still enjoy music, even without the piano."
+
+Anna stopped crying and looked at her mom. She said, "Really? Can I still play music in my heart?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. And maybe one day, when we have more money, we can buy another piano. Or you can go to the library or the school and play there. But for now, you can play music in your heart. And I will always play music with you."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love music. I will play music in my heart."
+
+They went to the couch and cuddled. They sang and hummed and clapped. They listened to music on the phone. They felt peaceful and happy. They still missed the piano, but they had each other. And they had music in their hearts.
+Anna and Ben were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Anna was very good at packing. She folded her dresses and put them in her pink bag. She also packed her doll, her book and her hat. She was happy and excited.
+
+Ben was not good at packing. He threw his shirts and pants in his blue bag. He did not fold them or zip his bag. He also packed his car, his ball and his dinosaur. He was frustrated and bored.
+
+"Ben, you have to pack better!" Anna said. "Your bag is too full and messy. You will lose your things."
+
+"I don't care!" Ben said. "I don't want to pack. I want to play."
+
+"Ben, you have to listen to Anna!" Mom said. "She is right. You have to pack better. Or you will have no clothes or toys at Grandma and Grandpa's house."
+
+Mom helped Ben to take out some of his things. She showed him how to fold his clothes and put them in his bag. She also told him to choose only two toys to pack. Ben did not like that. He wanted to pack all his toys.
+
+"Mom, that's not fair!" Ben said. "Anna has more toys than me. Why can't I pack all my toys?"
+
+"Ben, you have enough toys. You don't need to pack all of them. You can play with Grandma and Grandpa's toys. They have a lot of fun toys too." Mom said.
+
+Ben still did not like that. He was angry and sad. He packed his car and his dinosaur. He left his ball on the floor. He did not see the dust on the ball. He did not know that the dust would make him sneeze. He zipped his bag and stomped to the door.
+
+"Come on, Ben. Let's go." Mom said. "We don't want to be late. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us."
+
+Ben followed Mom and Anna to the car. He put his bag in the trunk. He got in the back seat. He did not say anything. He looked out the window. He hoped that Grandma and Grandpa would have a lot of toys. He hoped that he would have fun. He hoped that he would not sneeze.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they have a long stick and a big flag. The flag is red and blue and has stars on it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a flag!" Tom says. He waves the flag in the air.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your flag is nice!" Lily says. She runs to him and holds the stick with him.
+
+They pretend they are soldiers. They march around the park. They sing a song. They are happy.
+
+But then, they see a dog. The dog is big and black. It has sharp teeth. It barks at them. It runs to them.
+
+"Help, Lily, the dog is scary!" Tom says. He drops the stick and the flag.
+
+"Run, Tom, run!" Lily says. She drops the stick and the flag too.
+
+They run away from the dog. They look for a safe place. They see a bench. They climb on the bench. They hug each other.
+
+The dog arrives at the stick and the flag. It sniffs them. It bites them. It tears them. It makes a mess.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They cry. They want their flag back.
+
+But then, they see a man. The man is tall and kind. He has a hat and a whistle. He is a park ranger. He sees the dog and the flag.
+
+"Hey, you, bad dog, stop that!" the man says. He blows his whistle. He runs to the dog.
+
+The dog is afraid. It drops the stick and the flag. It runs away.
+
+The man picks up the stick and the flag. He walks to the bench. He sees Tom and Lily.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" the man says. He smiles at them.
+
+"Yes, sir, we are okay, thank you," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you for saving our flag, sir," Lily says.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I'm sorry your flag is broken. It was a nice flag," the man says.
+
+He gives them the stick and the flag. He helps them down from the bench.
+
+"Here, you can have this," the man says. He takes off his hat. He puts it on Tom's head.
+
+"And this," the man says. He takes off his whistle. He puts it around Lily's neck.
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They smile at the man.
+
+"Thank you, sir, you are very nice," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, sir, you are very brave," Lily says.
+
+They hug the man. They wave their flag. They blow their whistle.
+
+They are friends. They are soldiers. They are happy.
+Lily liked to balance on one foot. She thought it was fun and made her feel like a bird. She liked to balance on the sofa, on the chair, on the bed, and on the table. But her mom always told her to be careful and not to balance on things that could fall or break.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big cabinet in the living room. It was tall and shiny and had many things inside. Lily wanted to see what was in the cabinet, so she climbed on a stool and reached for the door. She opened it and saw many pretty things: cups, plates, vases, and pictures. She wanted to touch them and play with them, but they were too high for her. She had an idea: she would balance on the stool and reach for them.
+
+She stood on one foot on the stool and stretched her arm. She felt something smooth and round in her hand. It was a cup. She smiled and pulled it out of the cabinet. But as she did, she lost her balance and fell off the stool. The cup fell with her and broke into many pieces. The noise was very loud and scared Lily. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw Lily on the floor, surrounded by broken pieces of the cup. She was angry and sad. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You broke the cup. It was very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. You should not have balanced on the stool and touched the cabinet. You could have hurt yourself or broken something else. You need to listen to me and be careful."
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know it was special. I just wanted to see the pretty things. I won't balance on the stool or touch the cabinet again. I love you, mom. And I love grandma."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you, too, Lily. And I know grandma loves you, too. But you need to learn to respect other people's things and not to be curious about everything. Sometimes, it is better to be ordinary and safe than to be adventurous and risky. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will be ordinary and safe from now on."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Mia are having lunch with Mom. Mom makes a big salad with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and cheese. She puts it on a big plate and gives them forks.
+
+"Be careful with your forks, they are sharp. You don't want to hurt your mouth or your fingers," Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia nod and start to eat. They like the salad, it is crunchy and yummy. They also have some bread and juice.
+
+Mia sees a bird outside the window. It is blue and yellow and has a long tail. It lands on a branch and sings.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bird! It is so pretty and loud," Mia says.
+
+Ben looks up and sees the bird too. He smiles and waves at it.
+
+"Hello, bird! Do you want some salad?" he asks.
+
+The bird tilts its head and looks at Ben. Then it flies away to another tree.
+
+"Bye, bird! Maybe next time," Ben says.
+
+Mom laughs and hugs Ben and Mia.
+
+"You are very kind and polite, Ben. But I think the bird likes other food, like seeds and worms. Maybe we can give it some later, when we go to the park," she says.
+
+Ben and Mia finish their salad and ask for more. They are happy and full. They can't wait to go to the park and see more birds. They hope they will find an open birdhouse to play with.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their staffs. A staff was a long stick that they could use to pretend to be wizards or warriors. They found their staffs in the woods behind their house. Ben's staff was brown and Mia's staff was gray.
+
+One day, they decided to have a staff fight. They said that whoever hit the other one three times would win. They ran around the yard, swinging their staffs and making loud noises. Ben hit Mia once on the arm. Mia hit Ben once on the leg. They both laughed and kept playing.
+
+But then, Ben saw a big rock near the fence. He had an idea. He ran to the rock and picked it up. He threw it at Mia, hoping to hit her staff and make her drop it. But he threw it too hard and too fast. The rock flew past Mia's staff and hit her on the head.
+
+Mia fell to the ground. She did not laugh. She did not move. She did not make any noise. Ben dropped his staff and ran to her. He saw blood on her head and on the rock. He felt scared and sorry. He cried and called for help.
+
+But it was too late. Mia did not wake up. Ben did not win. He lost his sister and his friend. He wished he never threw the rock. He wished he never played with his staff. He wished he could say sorry to Mia. But he could not. He was alone with his staff and his rock and his tears.
+Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They see a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue is gray and still.
+
+"Let's make the statue move!" Tom says. He has a stick in his hand.
+
+"How?" Anna asks. She has a red ball in her hand.
+
+"Watch!" Tom says. He runs to the statue and pokes it with his stick. He tries to stir the statue's leg, arm, and head. But nothing happens. The statue is too hard and heavy.
+
+"Stop it, Tom!" Anna says. "You can't make the statue move. It's not alive. It's just a thing."
+
+Tom is sad. He drops his stick and walks away. He wants to play something else.
+
+Anna follows him. She has an idea. She throws her ball in the air and catches it.
+
+"Look, Tom!" she says. "I can make my ball move. It's alive. It's not a thing. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom smiles. He likes Anna's ball. He nods his head.
+
+"Yes, Anna!" he says. "Let's play with your ball. It's fun!"
+
+They run to an open space and toss the ball to each other. They laugh and shout. They are happy. They forget about the statue. They are ready to play.
+Ben and Mia like to play games. They are very competitive. They always want to win and be the best. Sometimes they argue and get angry.
+
+One day, they play a game of follow the leader. Ben says he will be the leader first. He tells Mia to do what he does. He jumps, he runs, he spins, he claps. Mia tries to copy him, but she is slower and gets tired.
+
+"Ha ha, I am the best leader!" Ben says. "You are a bad follower. You are too slow and lazy."
+
+Mia feels sad and hurt. She does not like Ben's words. She says, "No, you are a mean leader. You are too fast and bossy. You do not care about me. You only care about winning."
+
+Ben feels sorry. He does not want to make Mia sad. He likes Mia. He says, "I am sorry, Mia. You are right. I was mean and bossy. I do care about you. You are my friend. Can we play again?"
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "Yes, we can play again. But can I be the leader this time?"
+
+Ben nods. He says, "OK, you can be the leader. I will be a good follower. I will do what you do."
+
+Mia leads Ben to a big tree. She says, "Let's hug the tree. The tree has rough skin. It feels nice."
+
+Ben hugs the tree. He says, "You are right. The tree has rough skin. It feels nice. You are a good leader. You have fun ideas."
+
+Mia and Ben hug the tree and each other. They are happy. They are friends. They are not angry anymore. They learn to play together and share. They are not too competitive. They have fun.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and tell jokes. One day, they find a toy phone in the park. It is red and shiny. Ben picks it up and says, "Let's play with it!"
+
+Mia nods and smiles. She says, "OK, you be the caller and I be the answerer. What will you say?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He wants to make Mia laugh. He says, "I will say a joke. It will be funny. Are you ready?"
+
+Mia says, "Yes, I am ready. Ring the phone!"
+
+Ben presses a button on the toy phone. It makes a ringing sound. He holds it to his ear and says, "Hello, is this the zoo?"
+
+Mia holds the other end of the phone and says, "No, this is Mia. Who is this?"
+
+Ben says, "This is Ben. I have a joke for you. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Mia says, "Yes, please. Tell me the joke."
+
+Ben says, "OK, here it is. Why did the chicken cross the road?"
+
+Mia says, "I don't know. Why did the chicken cross the road?"
+
+Ben says, "To get to the other slide!"
+
+Mia does not laugh. She does not get the joke. She says, "That is not funny. That is silly. Chickens don't go on slides. They go on farms."
+
+Ben feels sad. He says, "But I tried to make you laugh. I thought it was a funny joke. Don't you like jokes?"
+
+Mia says, "I do like jokes, but not that one. That one is not a joke. It is a mistake. You should say something else."
+
+Ben says, "But I don't know any other jokes. That was the only one I knew. Can you tell me a joke?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She wants to be helpful. She says, "OK, I will tell you a joke. It will be funny. Are you ready?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I am ready. Tell me the joke."
+
+Mia says, "OK, here it is. What do you get when you cross a fish and a cow?"
+
+Ben says, "I don't know. What do you get when you cross a fish and a cow?"
+
+Mia says, "A moo-d fish!"
+
+Ben laughs. He gets the joke. He says, "That is funny. That is a good joke. I like it. Thank you for telling me."
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to hear another one?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, please. Tell me another one."
+
+Mia says, "OK, here it is. What do you call a bear with no teeth?"
+
+Ben says, "I don't know. What do you call a bear with no teeth?"
+
+Mia says, "A gummy bear!"
+
+Ben laughs again. He says, "That is funny too. That is another good joke. You are good at jokes. Can I tell you one more?"
+
+Mia says, "Sure, you can tell me one more. But make it a good one."
+
+Ben says, "OK, I will try. Here it is. What do you call a snake that works for the phone company?"
+
+Mia says, "I don't know. What do you call a snake that works for the phone company?"
+
+Ben says, "A ring-tone!"
+
+Mia laughs. She says, "That is funny too. That is a clever joke. You are good at jokes too. We are both good at jokes. We are funny friends."
+
+Ben says, "Yes, we are. We are funny friends. We like to play with toys and tell jokes. We have fun together."
+
+Mia says, "Yes, we do. We have fun together. Let's play some more. Ring the phone again!"
+
+Ben says, "OK, I will. Ring, ring, ring!"
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to count how many cars, dolls, blocks and books they had. Ben had a blue zip on his jacket that he could open and close. He thought it was fun to put things in his pockets and zip them up.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have four cars in my pocket!" he said, zipping his jacket. "How many do you have?"
+
+Lily counted her cars on the floor. "I have three cars, Ben. But I have more dolls than you!" she said, holding up five dolls.
+
+Ben wanted to have more cars than Lily. He looked around and saw a red car on the shelf. It was his dad's car, and he knew he was not supposed to touch it. But he wanted to show Lily that he had more cars. He reached for the car, but it was too high. He climbed on a chair and stretched his arm.
+
+"Ben, be careful!" Lily said. "That's dad's car, you can't play with it!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the car and put it in his pocket. He zipped his jacket and smiled. "Now I have five cars, Lily! I have the same as you!" he said, jumping off the chair.
+
+But as he jumped, he heard a loud crack. He felt something sharp in his pocket. He opened his zip and saw that the red car was broken. He had smashed the car with his zip. He felt sad and scared. He knew his dad would be angry.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" Lily said. "You broke dad's car! He will be very mad at you!"
+
+Ben started to cry. He did not know what to do. He wished he had not taken the car. He wished he had been gentle with his zip. He wished he had listened to Lily. He hugged the broken car and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that was blue and shiny. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Mia was scared.
+
+"Come on, Mia, it will be fun!" Tom said. "Don't be scared, I will go with you."
+
+Mia shook her head. "No, Tom, it is too high and too fast. I don't want to go on the slide."
+
+Tom tried to make Mia feel better. "Look, Mia, there are other kids on the slide. They are not scared. They are happy and laughing. You can do it, Mia. You can succeed."
+
+Mia looked at the other kids. They did look happy and laughing. Maybe Tom was right. Maybe she could do it. Maybe she could succeed.
+
+"Okay, Tom, I will try," Mia said. "But you have to hold my hand."
+
+Tom smiled and nodded. He held Mia's hand and they climbed up the stairs. They reached the top of the slide and looked down. It was high and fast, but it was also blue and shiny.
+
+"Are you ready, Mia?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom, I am ready," Mia said.
+
+They sat on the slide and pushed off. They slid down the slide, faster and faster. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They screamed and laughed. They reached the bottom of the slide and jumped off.
+
+They did it. They succeeded.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"That was fun, Tom!" Mia said. "I am not scared anymore. I want to go again."
+
+"Me too, Mia, me too," Tom said. "You are brave, Mia. You are my best friend."
+
+They ran back to the stairs and climbed up again. They went on the slide again and again, until they were tired and happy. They had a great day at the park. They learned that they could succeed. They learned that they could have fun. They learned that they could be brave.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They are very happy.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Sara says. "He is so nice and big!"
+
+"Yes, he is!" Ben says. "But he is cold. Let's give him a hug."
+
+They run to the snowman and hug him. But the snowman is too soft. He falls down and breaks. Sara and Ben are sad.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara cries. "We broke our snowman!"
+
+"What can we do?" Ben asks. "Can we fix him?"
+
+They try to put the snowman back together. But it is hard. The snow is melting. The hat and the carrot are gone.
+
+"Maybe we can bury him," Sara says. "Then he can sleep in the ice."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "Let's bury him."
+
+They dig a hole in the snow. They put the snowman in the hole. They cover him with more snow. They say goodbye to the snowman.
+
+"Goodbye, snowman," Sara says. "We love you."
+
+"Goodbye, snowman," Ben says. "We are sorry."
+
+They walk away from the hole. They are very sad. They do not want to play anymore.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is coming to the park. The truck has a plow. The plow pushes the snow away. The truck does not see the hole. The truck drives over the hole. The hole is gone. The snowman is gone. Sara and Ben are shocked.
+
+"NO!" Sara screams. "Our snowman!"
+
+"NO!" Ben screams. "Our friend!"
+
+They run to the truck. They try to stop the truck. But the truck is too fast. The truck does not hear them. The truck does not care. The truck leaves the park. Sara and Ben are left alone. They cry. They have no snowman. They have no friend. They have no fun. They have a bad day. The end.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the field near their home. The field has long grass and many flowers. Sometimes they see rabbits and birds.
+
+One day, they want to find a rabbit. They think rabbits are cute and soft. They search in the field for a long time. They look under the grass and behind the rocks. They do not see any rabbits.
+
+"Where are the rabbits?" Ben asks. He is tired and hungry.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are hiding." Mia says. She is sad and bored.
+
+They decide to go back home. They walk in the field. They do not see the big hole in the ground. They fall into the hole. The hole is deep and dark. They scream and cry. They cannot get out.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben and Mia shout. They hope someone will hear them.
+
+But no one hears them. No one comes. They are alone in the hole. They are scared and cold. They wish they never searched for a rabbit. They wish they stayed at home.
+Lila and Ben are kids who like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, towers and more with their blocks. They are good at sharing and helping each other.
+
+One day, they have a new friend, Sam, who comes to play with them. Sam is clumsy. He trips over his own feet and drops things. He wants to play with blocks too, but he does not know how to add them. He puts a round block on top of a square block and it falls off. He puts a big block on a small block and it tips over. He makes a mess and knocks down Lila and Ben's creations.
+
+"Stop it, Sam!" Lila says. "You are ruining our blocks!"
+
+"Go away, Sam!" Ben says. "You don't know how to play!"
+
+Sam feels sad and angry. He does not like being clumsy. He does not like being yelled at. He wants to have fun and make friends. He picks up a big block and throws it at Lila and Ben. It hits them and hurts them. They cry and run away.
+
+Sam is alone with the blocks. He feels sorry for what he did. He wishes he could say sorry and play nicely. He looks at the blocks and tries to add them. He remembers what Lila and Ben did. He puts a square block on a square block. He puts a small block on a big block. He makes a tower. He smiles. He likes adding blocks.
+
+He hears Lila and Ben coming back. They have band-aids on their arms. They look at Sam and his tower. They are surprised.
+
+"Wow, Sam, you made a tower!" Lila says.
+
+"That's cool, Sam, you learned how to add blocks!" Ben says.
+
+Sam feels happy. He says sorry to Lila and Ben. He asks them to play with him. They say yes. They forgive him and teach him more ways to add blocks. They make more houses, cars, towers and more. They have fun and become friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: You can learn from your mistakes and make friends by being kind and respectful.
+Lily loved to ask questions. She asked her mom, her dad, her big brother, and her dog. She asked about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the rain. She asked about the birds, the bees, the trees, and the flowers.
+
+One day, she saw a daisy in the garden. It was white and yellow and pretty. She asked her mom, "What is this?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That is a daisy, Lily. It is a kind of flower that grows in the spring. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like it. It is soft and bright and nice. Can I pick it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, you can pick one, but be gentle. Flowers are living things, too. They need water and sun and soil to grow."
+
+Lily picked a daisy and held it in her hand. She asked her mom, "How old is this daisy?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months. But some flowers are very old. They have been on the earth for a long time, longer than you and me and even grandma and grandpa."
+
+Lily's eyes widened and said, "Wow, really? How long is that?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is very long, Lily. That is ancient. Ancient means very, very old, older than anything you can imagine. Some flowers are ancient, like roses and lilies and orchids. They have seen many things and many changes in the world. They are beautiful and wise and strong."
+
+Lily looked at her daisy and said, "Is my daisy ancient, too?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe, Lily. Maybe your daisy has a long history and a long story. Maybe it has a secret and a magic. Maybe it has a wish and a dream. Maybe it has a friend and a family. Maybe it has a name and a voice. Maybe it has a heart and a soul. Maybe it is more than just a flower. Maybe it is a gift and a wonder."
+
+Lily hugged her daisy and said, "I love my daisy, mom. Thank you for telling me about it. Can I keep it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can keep it and take care of it and talk to it and listen to it. Maybe it will tell you something you don't know. Maybe it will show you something you can't see. Maybe it will make you happy and grateful and curious. Maybe it will be your friend and your teacher and your treasure."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I think it will, mom. I think it will."
+Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Anna counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree, a slide, a swing and a bench. Where could Ben be?
+
+She ran to the tree and looked behind it. No Ben. She ran to the slide and looked under it. No Ben. She ran to the swing and looked on it. No Ben. She ran to the bench and looked over it. No Ben. She was getting tired and angry. Where was Ben?
+
+She shouted, "Ben, where are you? I can't find you! Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
+
+She heard a giggle from behind the bench. She ran back and saw a small space between the bench and the fence. She peeked in and saw Ben's face. He was smiling and holding his finger to his mouth.
+
+"Shh, don't reveal me!" he whispered.
+
+Anna was bitter. She had been looking for a long time and Ben had been hiding in a very easy place. She felt like he was cheating and making fun of her.
+
+"That's not fair, Ben! You hid in a silly space! You have to hide in a harder place!" she said.
+
+Ben shrugged. "I like this space. It's cozy and secret. And you didn't find me for a long time. That means I'm a good hider!"
+
+Anna crossed her arms. "No, you're a bad hider. And a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore!"
+
+She turned around and walked away. Ben felt sad. He didn't mean to make Anna angry. He just wanted to have fun. He crawled out of the space and followed her.
+
+"Anna, wait! I'm sorry! Can we play again? Please?" he said.
+
+Anna stopped and looked at him. She saw his sorry face and heard his sorry voice. She felt sorry too. She knew Ben was her friend and he didn't want to hurt her.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, you have to hide in a better place. And I get to be the hider first!" she said.
+
+Ben nodded. "Okay, Anna. Deal. And I'll help you find a good place to hide. Come on, let's go!"
+
+They held hands and ran to find a new place to play. They were friends again.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the bathroom. They splash water on each other and laugh. They also like to look at themselves in the mirror. They make funny faces and giggle.
+
+One day, Tom has an idea. He picks up a wet towel and throws it at the mirror. The towel sticks to the mirror and covers it. Tom thinks it is very funny. He says, "Look, Lily, the mirror is gone!"
+
+Lily is not happy. She likes to see herself in the mirror. She says, "No, Tom, that is not funny. That is naughty. Take the towel off the mirror!"
+
+Tom does not listen. He picks up another wet towel and throws it at the mirror. Now the mirror is completely covered. Tom laughs louder. He says, "Now the mirror is really gone!"
+
+Lily is very angry. She picks up a wet towel and throws it at Tom. The towel hits Tom in the face and makes him wet. Lily says, "Now you are gone, Tom!"
+
+Tom is surprised. He takes the towel off his face and sees Lily. He sees that she is mad. He says, "Sorry, Lily, I was just playing. Do you want to see the mirror again?"
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Yes, Tom, I want to see the mirror. And I want you to say sorry to the mirror too."
+
+Tom and Lily take the towels off the mirror. They see themselves in the mirror. They say sorry to the mirror. They hug each other and smile. They are friends again. They say, "We love the mirror. And we love each other."
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a big doll and Ben has a small car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around.
+
+Suddenly, Lily notices something on the floor. It is a rubber band. She picks it up and stretches it with her fingers. She thinks it is fun and cool.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" she says to her brother. "I found a rubber thing. It can be big or small. See?"
+
+Ben looks at the rubber band and smiles. He wants to try it too. He reaches out his hand and asks, "Can I have it, Lily? Please?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes the rubber band, but she also likes Ben. She remembers that sharing is important and nice. She decides to give the rubber band to Ben.
+
+"Okay, Ben, you can have it. But be careful, don't hurt yourself or break it. It is a special rubber thing," she says.
+
+Ben takes the rubber band and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will be careful and gentle. Do you want to play with my car?"
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She takes the car and makes it zoom around. Ben makes the rubber band twist and bounce. They are happy and play together. They both have fun with their toys and the rubber thing.
+Lily and Tom were at the park with their mom. They wanted to go on the big slide, but there was a long line of kids waiting. Lily and Tom felt sad and bored. They did not like to wait.
+
+"Mom, can we go on the slide now?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for our turn. See, there are many kids in front of us. They want to go on the slide too." Mom said.
+
+"But they are so slow!" Tom complained. "They take too long to go down. They should hurry up!"
+
+"Tom, that's not nice. You have to be patient and polite. Everyone has the same right to enjoy the slide. How would you feel if someone said that to you?" Mom said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He did not want to make anyone feel bad. He did not like to suffer. He remembered how he felt when a bigger kid pushed him off the swing yesterday. He felt angry and hurt.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. You're right. I don't want to be mean. I want to be kind." Tom said.
+
+"That's good, Tom. I'm proud of you. Look, the line is moving. We're almost there. Are you ready to have some fun?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They were happy again. They waited for their turn and then went on the slide. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted with joy. They forgot about the line and the slow kids. They only felt the fun.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, Mom gives them a plate of cookies and milk. Sara and Tom are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+They sit on the floor and start to eat. Sara picks a cookie with chocolate chips. Tom picks a cookie with sprinkles. They both say, "Yum!"
+
+But then, Sara sees something on Tom's plate. It is a dull, gray thing. It is not a cookie. It is a rock. Sara says, "Tom, what is that?"
+
+Tom looks at his plate. He sees the rock. He says, "Oh, this is my rock. I found it in the yard. It is my friend. I like to have it with me."
+
+Sara says, "But you can't eat a rock. It is hard and dirty. And it takes up space on your plate. You should put it away and eat more cookies."
+
+Tom says, "No, I want to have my rock. It is special to me. And I am not hungry anymore. You can have my cookies."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She likes cookies, but she also likes Tom. She says, "Okay, Tom. You can have your rock. But can I see it? Maybe it is not so dull. Maybe it has some colors or sparkles."
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "Sure, Sara. You can see my rock. Here, take it. But be careful. It is heavy."
+
+Sara takes the rock. She looks at it closely. She sees that it is not dull at all. It has some red and blue and green spots. It also has some shiny bits. It is a pretty rock. Sara says, "Wow, Tom. Your rock is beautiful. I like it too. Can we share it?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, Sara. We can share it. And we can share the cookies too. We are twins. We like to share."
+
+Sara and Tom hug. They are happy. They have a plate of cookies, a glass of milk, and a pretty rock. They have each other. They have fun.

+
+"Yuck! What is this?" Sara asks her mom.
+
+"That is a mint, Sara. It is for grown-ups. It helps them have fresh breath. But it is not for kids. It is too spicy for you," her mom says.
+
+"I don't want spicy breath. I want sweet breath. Like honey or candy," Sara says.
+
+"Sweet breath is nice, but you have to brush your teeth after you eat honey or candy. Or else you will get cavities. And cavities are bad. They hurt your teeth and make you go to the dentist," her mom says.

+
+Lily nodded. She looked at the cards on the floor. She saw a card with blue. She picked it up and gave it to Ben. "Here, Ben. This is blue. Now you have a match!"

+The squirrel ran to the dog and said, "Hello, dog. You look very bored. Do you want to play with me? I can show you a fun game. It is called catch the nut. I will throw a nut and you will catch it. Do you want to try?"
+
+The dog said, "Yes, squirrel, that sounds fun. I like to play and catch things. Show me the game."
+
+The squirrel climbed the tree and picked a nut. He threw it far away from the tree. The dog ran after the nut and caught it. He was happy and wagged his tail. The squirrel quickly picked another nut and threw it in a different direction. The dog ran after the nut again. He did not notice that the squirrel was getting more nuts from the tree.
+
+The squirrel did this many times until he had enough nuts for himself and the mouse. He put the nuts in a bag and climbed down the tree. He ran to the mouse and said, "Come on, mouse, let's go. I have many nuts for us. We can have a delicious lunch."
+
+The mouse said, "Wow, squirrel, you are very intelligent. You tricked the dog and got the nuts. You are a good friend. Thank you for sharing with me."
+
+The squirrel and the mouse ran away from the park with their bag of nuts. They found a safe place to eat and enjoy their lunch. They were very happy and full. They said, "This is the best day ever. We have nuts and we have each other."

+Lily liked books very much. She had many books in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories. Sometimes, she tried to read the words, but they were hard.
+
+One day, she found a big book on the shelf. It had a shiny cover and many pages. It looked impressive. Lily wanted to know what was in the book. She took it to her bed and opened it.
+
+Inside, there were many animals. There were lions and tigers and bears. There were birds and fish and bugs. There were animals she had never seen before. Lily was amazed. She pointed at each animal and said its name.
+
+"Look, Mommy, a giraffe!" she said, when her mommy came to her room. "It has a long neck and spots."
+
+Mommy smiled and sat next to Lily. She looked at the book and said, "That is a very impressive book, Lily. Where did you find it?"
+
+Lily showed her the shelf. "It was up there. Can you read it to me, Mommy?"
+
+Mommy nodded and hugged Lily. She said, "Of course, I can. This is a special book, Lily. It was my book when I was a little girl. My daddy gave it to me. He loved animals, too. He used to talk to me about them and teach me many things."
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "I love animals, too, Mommy. And I love you. And I love this book."
+
+Mommy kissed Lily and said, "I love you, too, Lily. And I love this book. Let's read it together and talk about the animals."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They were having fun until they heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. They were scared of thunder. They ran to their mom and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, what is that noise?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's thunder, sweetie. It's when the sky makes a big sound. Sometimes it comes with rain and lightning. But don't worry, it's not going to hurt you. It will go away soon," Mom said.
+
+"Can we go back to playing with our blocks?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be careful not to make a mess. And remember to share your blocks with your sister. Sharing is caring," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and went back to the living room. They saw that their blocks were scattered all over the floor. Some of their towers and houses and bridges had fallen down. They felt sad.
+
+"Look what the thunder did to our blocks!" Tom said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. We can restore them. We can build them again. Together," Lily said.
+
+She picked up an orange block and gave it to Tom. He smiled and took it. They started to restore their blocks. They helped each other and shared their blocks. They made new towers and houses and bridges. They were happy.
+
+They heard Mom calling them for dinner. They put their blocks away in a box. They ran to the kitchen.
+
+"Wow, you two did a great job restoring your blocks. And you cleaned up the living room. I'm so proud of you," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We learned that sharing is caring. And restoring is fun," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged Mom and sat down to eat. They enjoyed their dinner and talked about their blocks. They didn't hear the thunder anymore. They felt safe and loved.
+Lily was a polite girl who liked to travel. She had a big bag with many things inside. She wanted to see new places and meet new friends. One day, she went on a train with her mom and dad. She was very happy and excited.
+
+On the train, she saw a rat. The rat was brown and furry. It had a long tail and small eyes. Lily was not afraid of the rat. She thought the rat was cute and lonely. She wanted to be nice to the rat. She opened her bag and took out a cookie. She gave the cookie to the rat.
+
+The rat was hungry and greedy. It took the cookie and ate it fast. It wanted more. It saw Lily's bag and smelled more food. It jumped into the bag and started to bite and scratch everything. It made a big mess and a loud noise.
+
+Lily's mom and dad heard the noise and saw the rat. They were angry and scared. They yelled at Lily and the rat. They grabbed the bag and threw it out of the window. The rat and Lily's things fell on the ground. The train went away fast.
+
+Lily was sad and sorry. She lost her bag and her things. She lost the rat and the cookie. She cried and cried. She wished she had not been polite to the rat. She learned a hard lesson. She never wanted to travel again.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a pipe. He liked to pretend that he was a captain of a ship, and he would blow bubbles with the pipe. He was very happy with his pipe.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a girl who had no toys. She looked sad and bored. Tom felt sorry for her. He wanted to make her happy. He thought of his pipe. He loved his pipe, but he was generous. He decided to share his pipe with the girl.
+
+He walked to the girl and said, "Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me?" The girl smiled and said, "Yes, I do. I am Lily. What is that?" She pointed to the pipe. Tom said, "This is my pipe. I use it to blow bubbles. Do you want to try?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Tom. You are very kind."
+
+Tom gave his pipe to Lily. They took turns to blow bubbles. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and talked. They became friends. Tom was happy to see Lily happy. He did not miss his pipe. He learned that sharing is caring.
+
+Mom saw Tom and Lily playing. She was proud of Tom. She said, "Tom, you are a good boy. You are generous. You made a new friend. I am happy for you." Tom hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love Lily too. She is my friend. We share the pipe." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good friend. You share the pipe."
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals, but they hated the sheep. The sheep were noisy, smelly and always ran away from them.
+
+One day, their mom told them to help feed the sheep. Tom and Lily did not want to do it, but they had to. They took some hay and walked to the field where the sheep were.
+
+"Look, there is a baby sheep!" Lily said, pointing to a small, white lamb. "It is so cute and fluffy. Can we pet it?"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, we can't. The sheep will bite us or kick us. They are mean and stupid. Let's just throw the hay and go."
+
+But Lily was thoughtful. She wanted to be nice to the baby sheep. She put some hay on the ground and slowly walked towards the lamb. The lamb looked at her with big, black eyes and made a soft sound.
+
+"Hello, little sheep," Lily said softly. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want to be your friend."
+
+The lamb sniffed the hay and then nibbled on it. It seemed to like Lily. It let her touch its wool and rub its ears. Lily smiled and hugged the lamb.
+
+"Tom, come and see!" Lily called to her brother. "The baby sheep is so sweet and gentle. It likes me!"
+
+Tom was curious. He put down his hay and walked over to Lily and the lamb. He saw how happy they were and felt sorry for being mean to the sheep. He reached out his hand and petted the lamb too.
+
+"Hello, little sheep," Tom said softly. "You are not so bad. Maybe we can be friends too."
+
+The lamb wagged its tail and licked Tom's hand. Tom smiled and hugged the lamb too.
+
+"Maybe we don't hate the sheep after all," Tom said to Lily.
+
+"Maybe we love them," Lily said to Tom.
+
+They both laughed and played with the lamb. Their mom watched them from a distance and smiled. She was glad that her twins learned to be kind and thoughtful to the sheep.
+Sam liked to number his toys. He had a vest with many pockets, and he put a toy in each pocket. He gave each toy a number, from one to ten. He said, "This is my number vest. It is perfect for me."
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He ran to the slide, but he forgot to zip his vest. As he slid down, his toys fell out of his pockets. He heard them bounce and roll on the ground.
+
+"Oh no!" he cried. "My toys! My number vest!" He got off the slide and looked for his toys. He saw some of them, but not all. He felt sad and scared.
+
+"Sam, what's wrong?" his mom asked. She saw his empty pockets and his tears. She hugged him and said, "Don't worry, we'll find your toys. Let's count them together."
+
+She helped him pick up the toys he could see. She said, "How many toys do you have now?" Sam counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six." He said, "But I had ten toys. Where are the other four?"
+
+They looked around and saw a girl with a pink hat. She had a toy car in her hand. It was Sam's number seven toy. Sam said, "That's my toy! She has my toy!"
+
+His mom said, "Let's go talk to her. Maybe she doesn't know it's yours." They walked to the girl and said hello. Sam's mom said, "That's a nice toy car you have. Where did you find it?"
+
+The girl said, "I found it on the ground. It was shiny and fast. I like it." Sam said, "But it's my toy. It's number seven. See?" He pointed to the number on the car.
+
+The girl looked at the car and said, "Oh, I didn't see that. I'm sorry. Do you want it back?" Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, please. It's part of my number vest. I need it."
+
+The girl gave him the car and said, "Here you go. I'm sorry I took your toy. Do you want to play with me?" Sam smiled. He said, "Yes, thank you. Do you like numbers?"
+
+The girl said, "Yes, I do. I can count to ten, too." Sam said, "Me too. Let's count together." They counted their toys, from one to ten. They played with the toys and had fun.
+
+Sam's mom zipped his vest and said, "That was very nice of you to share your toys, Sam. And you made a new friend. I'm proud of you." Sam said, "Thank you, mom. I'm happy. My number vest is perfect again."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They live next to each other. They like to play together. One day, Tom's mom makes a big pot of soup. She says it is spicy. She puts some soup in a bowl and covers it with a lid. She tells Tom to send the soup to Lily's mom. She says Lily's mom is sick and needs some soup.
+
+Tom takes the bowl and goes to Lily's door. He knocks on the door. Lily opens the door. She sees Tom and the bowl. She says, "Hi, Tom. What do you have?"
+
+Tom says, "Hi, Lily. I have soup for your mom. My mom made it. She says it is spicy."
+
+Lily says, "Thank you, Tom. That is very nice of your mom. Can I try some soup?"
+
+Tom says, "Sure, Lily. But be careful. It is spicy."
+
+Lily takes a spoon and dips it in the soup. She puts the soup in her mouth. She feels a hot and burning sensation. She makes a funny face. She says, "Wow, Tom. This soup is very spicy. It makes my tongue hurt."
+
+Tom laughs. He says, "I told you, Lily. It is spicy. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily says, "I like it a little bit. But I think my mom will like it more. She likes spicy food. Come on, Tom. Let's go and give the soup to my mom. Maybe she will feel better."
+
+Tom and Lily go to Lily's mom's room. They see her lying in bed. She looks pale and tired. They say, "Hi, mom. We have soup for you. Tom's mom made it. She says it is spicy."
+
+Lily's mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very kind. I love spicy soup. It will warm me up and make me feel better. Can you help me sit up and eat some soup?"
+
+Tom and Lily help Lily's mom sit up and eat some soup. They see her face brighten up. They hear her say, "Mmm, this soup is delicious. It is spicy, but not too spicy. It has a lot of flavor and goodness. Thank you, Tom's mom. You are a great cook."
+
+Tom and Lily feel happy. They see Lily's mom feel happy. They hug each other and say, "You are welcome, mom. We are glad you like the soup. We hope you get well soon. We want to play with you again."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big forest behind their house. They wanted to see what was inside, so they took their backpacks and walked to the forest.
+
+"Look, Anna, there are so many trees and flowers and animals!" Ben said, pointing at the forest.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is very pretty. But we have to be careful, we don't want to get lost," Anna said, holding Ben's hand.
+
+They walked and walked, and saw many things. They saw a bird with bright colors, a rabbit with soft fur, a deer with big horns, and a stream with clear water. They also found some berries and nuts to eat. They were having fun, but they did not notice that they were going deeper and deeper into the forest.
+
+After a while, they realized that they did not know where they were. They could not see their house, or the path, or the sun. They only saw trees and shadows. They were lost.
+
+"Anna, I'm scared. Where are we?" Ben said, hugging Anna.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. I'm scared too. We have to find our way back," Anna said, trying to be brave.
+
+They started to wander around, looking for a way out. They called for help, but no one answered. They heard some noises, but they did not know what they were. They hoped they were not bad animals, or monsters, or witches.
+
+They wandered and wandered, until they saw a light. They ran towards it, hoping it was their house. But it was not their house. It was a fire. And around the fire, there were some people. They were not their parents, or their friends, or their neighbors. They were strangers.
+
+"Who are you?" one of the strangers asked, looking at Anna and Ben.
+
+"We are Anna and Ben. We are lost. We came from that way," Anna said, pointing at the forest.
+
+"How did you get here? This is our camp. We are camping in the forest," another stranger said.
+
+"We were playing in the forest, and we got lost. We don't know how to go back. Can you help us?" Ben said, with tears in his eyes.
+
+The strangers looked at each other, and then at Anna and Ben. They felt sorry for them. They decided to help them.
+
+"Of course we can help you. Don't worry, we will take you back to your house. But first, you have to warm up and rest. Come, sit by the fire. We have some food and water for you," one of the strangers said, smiling.
+
+Anna and Ben felt relieved. They thanked the strangers, and sat by the fire. They ate some food and drank some water. They felt warm and safe. They told the strangers their names, and their stories, and their dreams. The strangers told them their names, and their stories, and their dreams. They became friends.
+
+Soon, it was time to go. The strangers packed their things, and took Anna and Ben with them. They walked through the forest, and found the path. They followed the path, and saw the sun. They saw their house, and their parents, and their dog. They were happy.
+
+Anna and Ben hugged the strangers, and said goodbye. They thanked them for helping them, and for being their friends. The strangers hugged them back, and said goodbye. They said they were glad to meet them, and to be their friends. They said they hoped to see them again.
+
+Anna and Ben ran to their house, and hugged their parents, and their dog. They told them what happened, and how they were scared, and how they met the strangers, and how they became friends. Their parents were worried, and angry, and happy, and proud. They scolded them for going to the forest, and hugged them for being safe. They thanked the strangers for saving them, and invited them for dinner. The strangers accepted, and joined them for dinner.
+
+They all ate, and talked, and laughed. They shared their food, and their stories, and their dreams. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a big box. They found some string and some shiny things. They wanted to make the box into a car.
+
+Lily said, "I will push the box and you will steer with the string." She tied one end of the string to the box and gave the other end to Ben. Ben put some shiny things on the box to make it look like a car.
+
+They started to play. Lily pushed the box and Ben pulled the string. They made car noises and pretended to go fast. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they saw a hill. Lily said, "Let's go down the hill. It will be more fun." Ben said, "OK, but be careful." They went to the top of the hill and got ready.
+
+Lily pushed the box very hard and they zoomed down the hill. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted. They thought it was brilliant.
+
+But then they saw a tree. Ben said, "Oh no, we are going to hit the tree!" He tried to steer with the string, but it was too late. The box crashed into the tree and broke. The string and the shiny things flew everywhere.
+
+Lily and Ben were not hurt, but they were sad. They looked at their broken box and their lost string and shiny things. They said, "Oh no, our car is gone."
+
+But then they saw a bird. The bird had picked up some of the string and shiny things and was flying away. The bird was making a nest with them. The nest was very pretty and sparkly.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Look, the bird likes our string and shiny things. Maybe we can make something else with the box." They got up and went to find more string and shiny things. They were happy again.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They had a hose and a bucket. They liked to fill the bucket with water and splash each other. It was a hot day and the water felt good.
+
+"Tom, it's my turn to use the hose!" Anna said. She wanted to spray Tom with water. She was envious of him. He had the hose for a long time.
+
+"No, it's not!" Tom said. He liked to use the hose. He did not want to share. He sprayed Anna with water again. She got wet and angry.
+
+"Stop it, Tom! Give me the hose!" Anna said. She tried to grab the hose from Tom. But Tom was stronger. He pulled the hose away from Anna. He sprayed her with water again. She got wetter and angrier.
+
+"Tom, Anna, what are you doing?" Mom said. She came out of the house. She saw Tom and Anna fighting over the hose. She saw the water on the ground and on their clothes. She was not happy.
+
+"Mom, Tom won't let me use the hose!" Anna said. She pointed at Tom. She hoped Mom would make him share.
+
+"Mom, Anna wants to take the hose from me!" Tom said. He held the hose tightly. He hoped Mom would let him keep it.
+
+Mom shook her head. She was not pleased with Tom and Anna. She took the hose from Tom. She turned off the water. She put the hose away.
+
+"Tom, Anna, you need to learn to share and play nicely. You can't use the hose if you fight over it. Now, go inside and change your clothes. And don't repeat this again!" Mom said. She sounded stern.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom angry. They went inside and changed their clothes. They decided to play with something else. They did not want to fight over the hose again.
+Sara and Ben were excited to go to the park. They put on their coats and hats and ran outside. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Can we play in the leaves, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful not to get too dirty," Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. They liked the texture of the leaves. They were crunchy and soft and colorful.
+
+"Look, I found a big leaf!" Ben said. He held up a red leaf that was bigger than his hand.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice leaf!" Sara said. She tried to find a bigger one, but she couldn't.
+
+"Can I have your leaf, Ben?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. I found it first," Ben said.
+
+"Please, Ben. I really like it," Sara said.
+
+"No, Sara. It's not fair," Ben said.
+
+They started to argue and pull the leaf. They forgot to have fun.
+
+Mom heard them and came over. She saw them fighting over the leaf.
+
+"Hey, what's going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Sara wants my leaf, but it's mine!" Ben said.
+
+"But I like it too, Mom. It's so big and red!" Sara said.
+
+Mom smiled and had an idea. She took the leaf and tore it in half.
+
+"Here, now you both have a piece of the leaf. They are the same size and color. They fit in your hands. You can share and be happy," Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at their pieces of the leaf. They saw that Mom was right. They felt sorry for fighting.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are smart," Sara said.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Mom. You are kind," Ben said.
+
+They hugged Mom and each other. They put their pieces of the leaf in their pockets and went back to play in the pile. They were excited and happy again.

+Lily and Max were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the seesaw and the slide. Lily was very good at sliding. She went fast and smooth and always landed on her feet. Max was clumsy. He went slow and bumpy and always fell on his bum.
+
+"Look at me, Max!" Lily said. "I can slide so well!"
+
+"I want to slide too!" Max said. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. But he did not hold on tight. He slid down and flew off the end. He landed on the grass and spit out some gum.
+
+"Yuck!" Max said. "I got gum in my mouth!"
+
+Lily laughed. "That's what you get for being clumsy!"
+
+Mom heard them and came over. She was not happy. She took the gum out of Max's mouth and threw it in the trash. She scolded Lily for being mean.
+
+"Lily, you should not laugh at your brother. He is trying his best. You should help him and be kind. How would you feel if he laughed at you?"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She hugged Max and said, "I'm sorry, Max. I was wrong. You are not clumsy. You are brave. Do you want to slide with me?"
+
+Max smiled and nodded. He and Lily went back to the slide. Lily held his hand and showed him how to slide. They slid together and had fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't make fun of others. Be helpful and kind.
+Lila and Ben were on a trip with their mom and dad. They went to a big place with many old stones and towers. Mom said it was a temple. Lila and Ben liked to look at the temple and play hide and seek.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a big bell!" Lila said. She saw a metal bell hanging from a rope. She wanted to make it ring.
+
+"Can you reach it?" Ben asked. He was too small to touch the bell.
+
+Lila nodded. She raised her arms and jumped. She grabbed the rope and pulled hard. The bell made a loud sound. "Ding dong, ding dong!"
+
+Mom and dad heard the bell and came running. They saw Lila and Ben smiling.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"We found a bell, mom!" Lila said. "It's fun!"
+
+Dad laughed. "It is fun, but it's also a sacred bell. It's for the people who pray in the temple. We should be respectful and quiet."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They did not know they were being rude. They let go of the rope and said sorry to the bell.
+
+Mom and dad hugged them. "It's okay, kids. You didn't mean to be bad. Come on, let's go and have some lunch. I heard they have some spicy food here. Do you like spicy food?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They liked spicy food. They followed mom and dad to a small shop near the temple. They smelled the food and their mouths watered. They hoped the food was not too spicy for them. They were hungry and curious.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. They run to the end of the rainbow. They hope to find gold.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a pot!" Sam says. He points to a shiny pot under a tree. "Maybe it has gold inside!"
+
+Tom and Sam run to the pot. They lift the lid. They see many gold coins. They are very happy. They want to take the gold home.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is loud and angry. "Who are you? What are you doing with my gold?" The voice says.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They turn around. They see a small man with a red beard and a green hat. He is a leprechaun. He guards the gold.
+
+"Please, sir, we are sorry. We did not know it was your gold. We just wanted to see it." Tom says. He tries to be polite.
+
+"Sorry is not enough. You have to answer my riddle. If you answer right, you can keep some gold. If you answer wrong, you have to give me something." The leprechaun says. He smiles a mean smile.
+
+"What is the riddle?" Sam asks. He is curious.
+
+The leprechaun says, "I have a face and two hands, but no arms or legs. I can tell you the time, but I don't know what it is. What am I?"
+
+Tom and Sam think hard. They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+"A clock!" They say together.
+
+The leprechaun is surprised. He did not expect them to answer right. He is not happy. But he has to keep his word.
+
+"Fine, you are smart. You can have one gold coin each. But no more. Now go away and leave me alone." He says. He gives them each a coin and pushes them away.
+
+Tom and Sam are proud. They solved the riddle. They have gold. They run back to their home. They show their mom and dad the gold. They tell them the story. Their mom and dad are proud too. They hug them and kiss them. They say they love them. Tom and Sam are happy. They have a good day.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree. They want to climb the tree.
+
+"Can we climb the tree?" Tim asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, let's climb the tree!" Mia says.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the tree. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They climb higher and higher. They see birds and squirrels and leaves. They feel happy and brave.
+
+"Look, Tim, there is a nest!" Mia points to a small basket of sticks and feathers.
+
+"Wow, maybe there are eggs or baby birds in the nest!" Tim says.
+
+They climb closer to the nest. They are careful not to touch it. They peek inside. They see four blue eggs.
+
+"Hello, eggs!" Tim says softly.
+
+"Hello, eggs!" Mia says softly.
+
+They hear a chirp. They look up. They see a mother bird flying to the nest. She has a worm in her beak.
+
+"Oh, the mother bird is back!" Mia says.
+
+"Let's say hello to the mother bird!" Tim says.
+
+They wave to the mother bird. The mother bird lands on the nest. She looks at Tim and Mia. She does not look angry. She looks curious.
+
+"Hello, mother bird!" Tim and Mia say.
+
+"Hello, children!" the mother bird says. "Thank you for being kind to my eggs. You are welcome to visit my nest. But please do not touch or take anything. These are my babies."
+
+"OK, mother bird, we understand. We will not touch or take anything. We just want to look and learn." Tim and Mia say.
+
+"You are very generous, children. You can look and learn. But please be quiet and gentle. My babies need to rest and grow." the mother bird says.
+
+"OK, mother bird, we will be quiet and gentle. We are happy to see your babies." Tim and Mia say.
+
+They smile at the mother bird. The mother bird smiles back. They watch the mother bird feed the eggs. They learn about birds and nests. They feel lucky and grateful. They have a new friend.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and find shiny things. Sometimes they found coins, sometimes they found buttons, sometimes they found rocks.
+
+One day, they found something very special. It was a small, clear stone that sparkled in the sun. Anna picked it up and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a diamond!" she said.
+
+"Wow, Anna, that's amazing!" Ben said. "Where did you find it?"
+
+"I found it under that big tree," Anna said. "Maybe there are more diamonds there. Let's go and see."
+
+They ran to the big tree and started to dig. They hoped to find more diamonds. But they did not know that the big tree was home to a mean dog. The dog did not like strangers in his yard. He heard the children digging and barked loudly.
+
+"Whoof, whoof, whoof!" the dog barked.
+
+Anna and Ben heard the dog and looked up. They saw a big, black dog with sharp teeth and angry eyes. He was running towards them.
+
+"Uh-oh, Ben, it's a dog!" Anna said.
+
+"I see, Anna, it's a dog!" Ben said.
+
+They were very scared. They dropped their shovels and ran away. They did not want the dog to bite them. They did not care about the diamonds anymore. They just wanted to be safe.
+
+They ran back to the sandpit and hid behind a bench. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They hoped the dog would not find them.
+
+"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm okay, Ben. Are you okay?" Anna asked.
+
+"I'm okay, Anna. But I'm scared. That was a bad dog," Ben said.
+
+"I'm scared too, Ben. That was a very bad dog," Anna said.
+
+They stayed behind the bench until they saw their mommies coming. They ran to their mommies and told them what happened. Their mommies hugged them and said they were brave. They said they were sorry about the dog. They said they would tell the park ranger about the dog.
+
+Anna and Ben felt better. They still had the diamond they found. They decided to share it. They said it was their lucky diamond. They said it would make them happy. They said they would always be friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books on their bookshelf. Sometimes they would read the books and learn new things. But sometimes they would make a mess and throw the books on the floor.
+
+One day, their mom told them it was time for a nap. Lily and Ben did not want to nap. They wanted to keep playing. They said no to their mom and ran to their room. They locked the door and laughed.
+
+They started to play with their books again. They took them off the bookshelf and threw them around. They did not care if they broke them or tore them. They thought it was fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. They threw a heavy book at the bookshelf. The bookshelf wobbled and shook. It was too heavy and too full. It fell down with a loud crash. The books and the toys fell on Lily and Ben. They screamed and cried. They were hurt and scared.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and ran to their room. She saw the mess and the broken bookshelf. She saw Lily and Ben under the books and the toys. She was angry and worried. She unlocked the door and helped them out. She hugged them and checked if they were okay.
+
+She said, "Lily and Ben, what did you do? Why did you not listen to me? Why did you play with your books like that? You could have been hurt very badly. Books are not for throwing. They are for reading and learning. You should respect them and take care of them. And you should nap when I tell you to. Napping is good for you. It helps you grow and rest. You need to follow the rules and be good children."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong. We did not mean to break the bookshelf and the books. We did not mean to hurt ourselves. We were just having fun. But we see now that it was not fun. It was bad. We will not do it again. We will listen to you and nap when you tell us to. We will read and learn from our books. We will respect them and take care of them. We love you, mom."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. I am glad you are okay and you learned your lesson. Now, let's clean up this mess and then you can nap. And maybe later, I will read you a nice story from one of your books."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom." They helped their mom clean up their room and put their books and toys back on the bookshelf. They were careful not to throw them or break them. They were gentle and respectful. Then they went to their beds and napped. They dreamed of the nice story their mom would read them later. They were happy and peaceful.
+Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. Lily has a small red block that she likes very much. She says it is her favorite block and it is mine.
+
+Tom sees the small red block and he wants it. He thinks it is a nice block and he likes red. He says to Lily, "Can I have the red block? I want to put it on my tower."
+
+Lily says, "No, you can't have it. It is mine. I want to put it on my house."
+
+Tom says, "Please, Lily, just for a little bit. I will give it back to you."
+
+Lily says, "No, no, no. It is mine. Go away."
+
+Tom gets angry and he tries to grab the red block from Lily. Lily holds it tight and she shouts, "Stop it, Tom. You are mean. It is mine."
+
+They pull and tug on the block and they make a lot of noise. Their mom hears them and she comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the red block and she says, "Lily, Tom, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a small block? You have so many blocks to play with. You need to share and be nice to each other."
+
+Lily and Tom stop fighting and they look at their mom. They feel sorry and they say, "Sorry, mom. We were silly. We can share the red block."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. Sharing is caring. Now, why don't you play together and build something nice with all the blocks?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod and they smile. They say, "Okay, mom. We will play together and share the blocks."
+
+They give each other a hug and they say, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom. You are my friend."
+
+They take the red block and they put it on their tower and their house. They have fun and they are happy.
+Tom and Lily love to go on journeys. They like to see new things and have fun. One day, they go on a journey with their mom and dad. They take a big car that can go very fast.
+
+"Where are we going?" Tom asks.
+
+"We are going to the farm," mom says. "You will see many animals there."
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They like animals. They hope to see cows, pigs, sheep, and horses.
+
+They drive for a long time. They see trees, hills, and fields. They sing songs and play games. They are having a good time.
+
+But then, the car stops. It makes a loud noise. Smoke comes out of it.
+
+"Oh no," dad says. "The car is broken. We have to wait for help."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They want to go to the farm. They do not like to wait.
+
+They get out of the car. They see a dirt road. They see a fence. They see a sign that says "Farm".
+
+"Look," Lily says. "The farm is close. Can we walk there?"
+
+Mom and dad look at each other. They nod.
+
+"OK," mom says. "But be careful. Stay with us. And don't touch anything."
+
+Tom and Lily are happy again. They walk to the farm. They see cows, pigs, sheep, and horses. They also see mud, poop, and flies.
+
+The animals are filthy. They smell bad. They make loud noises.
+
+Tom and Lily do not care. They love the animals. They want to touch them and feed them.
+
+They run to the animals. They forget what mom and dad said.
+
+They touch the cows. They touch the pigs. They touch the sheep. They touch the horses.
+
+They get filthy. They get mud and poop and flies on them.
+
+They laugh and giggle. They are having fun.
+
+Mom and dad are not happy. They call them.
+
+"Tom! Lily! Come back here! You are filthy! You need a bath!"
+
+Tom and Lily hear them. They look at each other. They shrug.
+
+They run back to mom and dad. They hug them.
+
+"We love you," they say.
+
+Mom and dad sigh. They hug them back.
+
+"We love you too," they say.
+
+They smile. They are happy.
+
+They go to the farm. They have a good time.
+
+They go back to the car. They wait for help.
+
+They go home. They take a bath.
+
+They go to bed. They dream of their journey.
+
+They love their journey. They love their family. They love their life.
+Lily likes tuna. She likes to eat tuna with bread and cheese. She likes to share tuna with her cat, Max. Max likes tuna too. He likes to lick tuna from Lily's plate.
+
+One day, Lily and Max see a big can of tuna on the shelf. The shelf is high. Lily and Max want the tuna. They try to reach the tuna. Lily stands on a chair. Max jumps on the chair. They stretch their arms and paws. But the tuna is too high.
+
+Lily and Max do not give up. They push the chair to the table. They climb on the table. They try to reach the tuna again. But the tuna is still too high.
+
+Lily and Max do not see Mom. Mom sees Lily and Max. Mom is not happy. She says, "Stop! Stop! Stop! You are making a mess. You are not safe. You cannot have the tuna. The tuna is for later. Come down now."
+
+Lily and Max are sad. They do not want to stop. They want the tuna. But they listen to Mom. They come down from the table. They say sorry to Mom. Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you. But you have to wait for the tuna. I will make you a tuna sandwich for lunch. OK?"
+
+Lily and Max nod. They are still hungry. But they are good. They wait for the tuna. They play with their toys. They hope Mom will make a big tuna sandwich for them. And for Max too.
+Tim and his dad went to the shop. Tim saw many things he liked. He saw a ball, a car, a book and a cake. He wanted them all. He asked his dad to buy them for him.
+
+"Please, dad, please. I want them all. They are so nice and fun," Tim said.
+
+But his dad said no. He said they had enough things at home. He said they only came to the shop to buy a razor. A razor is a thing that dad uses to make his face smooth. Tim did not like the razor. He thought it was sharp and scary.
+
+"Dad, why do you need a razor? I like your face with hair. It is soft and tickles me when you hug me," Tim said.
+
+His dad smiled and hugged him. He said he needed a razor to look neat and clean. He said he had a job that provided money for them. Money is what they use to buy food and clothes and toys. He said he wanted to do his job well and make his boss happy.
+

+
+His dad laughed and kissed him. He said he was very smart and funny. He said his boss was deaf, but he could see and read. He said he liked to look good for himself and for Tim and for mom. He said he loved them very much.
+
+He said they could buy one thing for Tim at the shop. He said Tim could choose what he wanted. Tim looked around and saw many things he liked. But he did not want them anymore. He only wanted to be with his dad.
+
+He said he wanted a razor too. He said he wanted to be like his dad. He said he loved him very much. His dad hugged him and said he was very sweet and kind. He said he was proud of him. He said they could buy a razor for Tim, but only a pretend one. A pretend one is not sharp and scary. It is safe and fun.
+
+They bought a pretend razor for Tim and a real one for dad. They went home and played together. They made their faces smooth and laughed. Mom came and saw them. She said they looked handsome and happy. She said she loved them very much. They said they loved her too. They were a happy family.

+
+One day, Tom wants to wear his red shirt. He loves his red shirt. It has a car on it. He finds his red shirt in his drawer. He tries to put it on. But it is hard. He gets stuck. His head is in the shirt, but his arms are not.
+
+"Mom! Mom!" he calls. "I need help!"
+
+Mom comes to his room. She sees Tom. She smiles. She helps him move his arms. She pulls the shirt down. She fixes his collar.
+
+"There you go, Tom. You look great in your red shirt," she says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Tom says. He hugs her. He is happy.
+
+He runs to the mirror. He sees himself. He likes what he sees. He is proud. He is independent. But he also loves his Mom.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make a cake for her dad's birthday. She saw a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar on the shelf. She tried to reach them, but they were too high. She saw a chair and had an idea. She moved the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She was very happy.
+
+But she did not see that the shelf was not very strong. It started to bend and shake. The bowl, the eggs, the flour and the sugar fell down. They made a big mess on the floor and on Sara. Sara was very sad and scared. She cried.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Sara. She was not angry. She hugged Sara and said, "It's okay, my dear. You wanted to do something nice, but you did not ask for help. Next time, please ask me before you move things. I will help you and we will be safe." She cleaned the mess and Sara. She said, "Let's make a cake together. I have more ingredients. We can still surprise your dad." She was very cheerful.
+
+Sara smiled and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. Thank you for helping me." She learned a lesson. She did not move things without asking. She helped her mom make a cake. Her dad was very happy. They had a good birthday.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a driver inside. The truck had many yummy things on it, like ice cream and candy and cake.
+
+"Let's go and get some yummy things!" Lily said.
+
+"No, we can't. The driver will be angry. He will shout at us and call our mom and dad." Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She was very brave and hungry. She dared to run to the truck when the driver was not looking. She opened the door and climbed inside.
+
+"Wow, look at all the yummy things!" Lily said. She grabbed a big ice cream cone and took a bite.
+
+Tom was scared. He wanted to stop Lily, but he was too far away. He saw the driver coming back to the truck. He had a mean face and a big stick.
+
+"Hey, you! Get out of my truck!" The driver yelled. He saw Lily with the ice cream cone. He was very angry. He swung his stick at Lily.
+
+Lily screamed. She dropped the ice cream cone and tried to run away. But it was too late. The stick hit her hard on the head. She fell down and did not move.
+
+Tom cried. He ran to Lily and hugged her. He hoped she was okay. He wished he had stopped her. He wished they had not gone to the truck. He wished they had played somewhere else.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big hill of dirt with many ants on it. They wanted to see what the ants were doing.
+
+"Look, Tom, the ants are carrying things!" Lila said.
+
+"What are they carrying, Lila?" Tom asked.
+
+Lila picked up a stick and poked the hill. Some ants came out with bits of leaves and seeds. "They are carrying food, Tom. They are making a home inside the hill."
+
+Tom picked up a stone and threw it at the hill. The stone made a hole and many ants came out. They were angry and ran towards Tom and Lila.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that? You hurt the ants!" Lila shouted.
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped the stone and ran away. Lila followed him. The ants chased them.
+
+They ran to the house and slammed the door. They were safe inside.
+
+"Tom, you were bad. You should not hurt the ants. They were just trying to settle in their home." Lila said.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He looked at Lila. "I'm sorry, Lila. I did not know the ants would be angry. I just wanted to see inside the hill."
+
+Lila hugged Tom. "It's okay, Tom. But next time, be nice to the ants. They are living things too. They have feelings."
+
+Tom nodded. He hugged Lila back. "Okay, Lila. I will be nice to the ants. And to you."
+
+They smiled at each other. They looked out the window. The sun was light and warm. The ants were busy again. They fixed the hole and carried more food.
+
+Lila and Tom learned a lesson. They decided to watch the ants from far away. They did not bother them anymore. They were happy and peaceful.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Tom and Sam playing soccer. He wants to play too. He says, "Can I join you? I am very good at soccer. I can kick the ball very hard and fast."
+
+Tom and Sam are not sure. They think the big boy is too strong and might hurt them. But they do not want to be rude. They say, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to be nice and fair."
+
+The big boy smiles. He says, "Sure, I will be nice and fair. Let me be on your team, Tom. We will win easily. Sam, you can be on the other team. You are too weak to stop us."
+
+Tom and Sam do not like what the big boy says. They think he is mean and bossy. But they do not say anything. They start to play.
+
+The big boy kicks the ball very hard and fast. He scores many goals. He laughs and says, "See, I told you I am very good. You are too weak, Sam. You cannot lift the ball or stop me. You should give up."
+
+Sam feels sad and angry. He does not like to lose. He does not like to be called weak. He wants to show the big boy that he is wrong. He says, "No, I will not give up. I will try harder. I can lift the ball and stop you. You are not nice and fair. You are rude and selfish."
+
+Sam tries harder. He runs faster. He kicks the ball harder. He lifts the ball over the big boy's head. He scores a goal. He smiles and says, "See, I can lift the ball and score. You are not so good. You are too proud and lazy."
+
+Tom sees what Sam does. He feels happy and proud. He says, "Well done, Sam. You are not weak. You are strong and brave. You do not give up. You are a good friend and a good player."
+
+The big boy sees what Sam does. He feels surprised and ashamed. He says, "Sorry, Sam. You are right. I was rude and selfish. I was not nice and fair. I was too proud and lazy. You are not weak. You are strong and brave. You do not give up. You are a good friend and a good player. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sam sees what the big boy says. He feels glad and kind. He says, "Yes, we can still be friends. But you have to be nice and fair. You have to share and care. You have to play and have fun."
+
+The big boy nods. He says, "OK, I will be nice and fair. I will share and care. I will play and have fun. Thank you, Sam. Thank you, Tom. Can we play together again?"
+
+Tom and Sam smile. They say, "Yes, we can play together again. Let's play soccer. Let's have fun."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches that being nice and fair is better than being rude and selfish, that being strong and brave is better than being weak and giving up, and that being a good friend and a good player is better than being a proud and lazy one.
+Sam liked to soar in the sky. He had a big red kite that he flew with his dad. They went to the park on a sunny day and ran with the kite. The kite went up and up and up. Sam felt happy.
+
+But then, a weird thing happened. A big bird came and saw the kite. The bird thought the kite was another bird. The bird wanted to play with the kite. The bird flew near the kite and grabbed it with its claws. The kite broke and fell down.
+
+Sam was sad. He cried and cried. His dad hugged him and said sorry. The bird flew away with the kite. The park was quiet. Sam and his dad went home.
+
+At home, Sam's mom had a surprise for him. She had a new kite for him. It was blue and yellow and had a long tail. Sam smiled and hugged his mom. He said thank you. His mom said you're welcome.

+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to sing and dance. They joined a show at school where they could sing and dance on a big stage. They practiced a lot and learned a song and some moves.
+
+On the day of the show, Lily and Sam were very excited. They put on their costumes and waited for their turn. When they heard their names, they ran to the stage and smiled at the people who came to watch.
+
+Lily started to sing the song and Sam followed. They sang very well and did their moves. But then, Sam forgot some words and felt scared. He stopped singing and looked at Lily.
+
+Lily saw that Sam was scared and wanted to help him. She did not laugh or get angry. She was honest and kind. She pointed at the words on a big paper behind the stage and whispered to Sam, "Look, Sam, the words are there. You can do it. I am here with you."
+
+Sam looked at the words and remembered them. He started to sing again and felt better. He smiled at Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." They finished the song and the people clapped and cheered. Lily and Sam hugged and felt happy. They did a good show and had fun.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the yard with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun until the ball went over the fence and into the street.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila said. "Our ball is gone!"
+
+Tom ran to the fence and looked for the ball. He saw a big car coming fast. The car hit the ball and made a loud noise. The ball popped and flew away.
+
+"Look what the car did!" Tom said. "It broke our ball!"
+
+Lila and Tom felt very sad. They loved their ball. It was their favorite toy. They started to weep. They wept so loud that their mom heard them from the house.
+
+She came out and saw them crying. She hugged them and said, "What's wrong, my sweeties?"
+
+"The car broke our ball!" Lila said. "We can't play anymore!"
+
+Mom looked at the fence and the street. She saw the pieces of the ball. She felt sorry for Lila and Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves," she said. "That was a bad car. But don't worry, I have a surprise for you."
+
+She went back to the house and came out with a big box. She opened the box and showed them what was inside. It was a new ball. It was bigger and brighter than the old one. It had stars and stripes on it.
+
+"Wow!" Lila and Tom said. "A new ball!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, a new ball. I bought it for you yesterday. I wanted to give it to you today. I think you will like it. It's very fine."
+
+Lila and Tom stopped weeping. They dried their eyes and smiled. They thanked their mom and hugged her. They took the new ball and ran to the yard. They kicked the new ball to each other and ran after it. They were having fun again. They forgot about the old ball and the bad car. They were happy with their new ball and their mom.
+Anna and Ben like to visit their grandma every week. She lives in a small house with a garden and a cat. Grandma is very kind and makes them cookies and tea.
+
+One day, when they visit, they see something new in the garden. It is a big saw with a long blade and a handle. Grandma says she is using it to cut some wood for the winter. She shows them how to be careful and not touch the saw.
+
+Anna and Ben think the saw is very cool and shiny. They want to try it, but they know they have to listen to grandma. They ask her if they can help with the wood. Grandma smiles and says yes. She gives them some modest pieces of wood that are easy to carry. They help her stack them in a pile near the house.
+
+When they finish, they go inside and wash their hands. Grandma says they did a good job and gives them some cookies and tea. They sit on the couch and cuddle with the cat. They tell grandma stories about their school and their friends. Grandma listens and laughs and hugs them. They love to visit their grandma. She always makes them happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to explore new things. One day, they went with their mom to a big building where she had to work. They saw a big box with buttons and a door that opened and closed. Mom said it was an elevator and it could take them up and down.
+
+"Can we go in the elevator, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, but only with me. It can be dangerous if you go alone," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and followed mom into the elevator. They were curious about the buttons and the numbers. Mom pressed a button with a four on it and the door closed. The elevator started to move and made a humming sound.
+
+"What is happening, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"We are going up, Lily. The elevator is taking us to the fourth floor, where my office is," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt their tummies tickle as the elevator went up. They looked at the numbers above the door that changed from one to four. They heard a ding and the door opened. They saw a long hallway with many doors and people.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool, mom!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, it is, Tom. But remember, we have to go back to the elevator when I finish my work, okay?" mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. We will wait for you," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They walked with mom to her office and saw her desk and computer. They were curious about what mom did there, but they also wanted to go back to the elevator and try other buttons. They decided to be good and listen to mom, but they also hoped she would finish soon. They liked the elevator and wanted to ride it again.
+Tim had a lot of stuff in his room. He had toys, books, clothes, and pictures. He liked his stuff, but he had too much. His mom said he had to send some of his stuff to other kids who had less. Tim did not want to do that. He wanted to keep all his stuff.
+
+One day, his mom brought a big box and some tape. She said they would pack some of his stuff and send it to a place where other kids could get it. Tim was sad. He did not know which stuff to choose. He liked all his stuff. He did not want to give it away.
+
+His mom helped him pick some stuff. She said he could keep his favorite stuff, but he had to share some of his stuff. She said it would make other kids happy. She said it would make him happy too. Tim was not sure. He put some of his stuff in the box. He felt a little bad.
+
+His mom taped the box and wrote a note on it. She said it was a note for the other kids. She said it said that Tim was sending them some of his stuff and that he hoped they would like it. She said it was a nice thing to do. She said she was proud of him. Tim felt a little better.
+
+They took the box to the post office. They gave it to a man who said he would send it to the place where other kids could get it. He said it was a good thing to do. He said he was glad. He gave Tim a sticker that said "I shared". Tim smiled. He felt a little good.
+
+The next day, Tim got a letter in the mail. It was from a girl who got some of his stuff. She said she liked his stuff. She said it made her happy. She said she was glad. She said thank you. She drew a picture of her and Tim playing with his stuff. Tim looked at the picture. He felt a lot good. He was glad he sent some of his stuff. He was glad he shared.
+Tim and Sam were playing cowboys and robbers in the garden. Tim had a brown hat and a brown pistol. Sam had a red scarf and a red pistol. They ran around the trees and the flowers, pretending to shoot each other.
+
+"Bang, bang, you're dead!" Tim shouted, pointing his pistol at Sam.
+
+"No, I'm not, you missed!" Sam replied, hiding behind a bush.
+
+"Yes, you are, I saw you fall!" Tim argued, running towards him.
+
+"No, I didn't, I was just lying down!" Sam insisted, jumping out of the bush and pointing his pistol at Tim.
+
+"Bang, bang, you're dead!" Sam shouted, smiling.
+
+"No, I'm not, you missed!" Tim replied, dodging behind a tree.
+
+They kept playing like this for a long time, until they heard their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Boys, time to eat!" Mom said, waving from the door.
+
+"OK, Mom, we're coming!" Tim and Sam replied, dropping their pistols and running to the house.
+
+They were hungry and happy, and they agreed that they both won the game.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big potato in the kitchen. They decided to make it their new toy.
+
+"Look, Kim, this potato has eyes and a nose!" Tim said, holding the potato in his hand.
+
+"Wow, Tim, it does! Can we draw a mouth and ears on it?" Kim asked, grabbing a marker.
+
+"Sure, Kim, let's do it!" Tim agreed, and they drew a smiley face on the potato.
+
+They named their potato toy Pat and took it to their room. They put Pat on a pillow and gave him a hat and a scarf. They made a display of their potato toy on their bed.
+
+"Pat, you are our new friend. We will take good care of you," Tim said, hugging the potato.
+
+"Pat, you are very comfortable and warm. We will play with you every day," Kim said, kissing the potato.
+
+They were very happy with their potato toy. They played with Pat until it was time for dinner. They put Pat on their nightstand and said good night to him.
+
+"Good night, Pat, we love you," Tim and Kim said together.
+

+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a worm!" Lily said, holding up a long, slimy thing.
+
+"Wow, let me see!" Ben said, running over to her. He touched the worm and giggled. "It's so wiggly!"
+
+They put the worm in the bucket and kept digging. They wanted to find more bugs. They dug and dug until they saw something move in the dirt.
+
+"What's that?" Lily asked, pointing at a small, brown animal. It had a long nose and tiny eyes. It was a mole.
+
+"Hello, mole!" Ben said, smiling. He was not afraid. He liked animals. He reached out his hand to pet the mole.
+
+The mole was friendly. It sniffed Ben's hand and made a soft noise. It liked Ben too. It crawled out of the hole and sat on Ben's lap.
+
+"Can we keep it, Lily?" Ben asked, hugging the mole. "It's so cute and soft!"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked the mole too. She stroked its fur and gave it a name. "Let's call it Mimi," she said.
+
+Ben and Lily were very excited. They had a new friend. They played with Mimi in the garden. They gave it some water and some seeds. They made a cozy nest for it in the bucket. They were very happy.
+Lily was sad. She wanted to play with her friend Max, but he was not home. She knocked on his door, but no one answered. She walked around the street, but she did not see him. She did not know where he was.
+
+She saw a big dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It looked friendly. Lily liked dogs. She wanted to pet the dog. She walked towards the dog and said, "Hello, dog. Can I pet you?"
+
+The dog did not say anything. It did not wag its tail. It did not lick her face. It just looked at her with big eyes. Then it shrugged. It lifted its shoulders and let them fall. Lily did not understand. Why did the dog shrug? Did it not like her? Did it not want to play?
+
+Lily felt more sad. She turned away from the dog and walked back to her house. She hoped Max would come back soon. She wanted to play with him. She did not want to be alone.
+
+It was evening. The sun was going down. The sky was pink and purple. Lily looked out of her window. She saw Max. He was running towards her house. He was smiling. He had a ball in his hand. He waved at her and shouted, "Lily, Lily, I'm back! Do you want to play?"
+
+Lily felt happy. She ran to the door and opened it. She hugged Max and said, "Yes, yes, I want to play! Where were you? I missed you!"
+
+Max said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I had to go to the doctor. I had a sore throat. But I'm better now. Do you like my ball? It's new. It's blue and green. It bounces high. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, yes, I like your ball! It's pretty. It's fun. Let's go to the park and play!"
+
+They ran to the park and played with the ball. They threw it and caught it. They kicked it and rolled it. They laughed and shouted. They had fun.
+
+Lily was not sad anymore. She was happy. She had her friend Max. She had a ball. She had a dog. The dog followed them to the park. It wagged its tail. It licked their faces. It played with them. It did not shrug anymore. It liked them. They liked it.
+
+They played until it was dark. Then they went back to their houses. They said goodbye and good night. They promised to play again tomorrow. They were happy.
+Lily and Sam liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had cars, dolls, balls and a helicopter. The helicopter was their favorite toy. It could fly in the air and make a loud noise.
+
+One day, Lily and Sam were playing with the helicopter. Lily wanted to fly it high and far. Sam wanted to fly it low and near. They both wanted to hold the remote. They started to fight over the remote. They pulled and pushed and shouted.
+
+"Give me the remote! It's my turn!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine! You had it for too long!" Sam said.
+
+They did not see the big tree in front of them. The helicopter flew into the tree and got stuck. It stopped making noise. Lily and Sam stopped fighting. They looked at the helicopter. They felt sad.
+
+"How can we get it down?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. It's too high." Sam said.
+
+They tried to throw a ball at the helicopter. They tried to shake the tree. They tried to climb the tree. Nothing worked. The helicopter was still stuck.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He was kind and friendly. He had a ladder.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Sam. What are you doing?" Mr. Lee asked.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Lee. We are trying to get our helicopter down. It's stuck in the tree." Lily said.
+
+"Oh, I see. That's a nice helicopter. Do you need some help?" Mr. Lee asked.
+
+"Yes, please. Can you use your ladder?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, I can. Let me set it up for you." Mr. Lee said.
+
+He set the ladder against the tree. He climbed up the ladder. He reached the helicopter. He gently took it out of the tree. He climbed down the ladder. He gave the helicopter to Lily and Sam.
+
+"Here you go. Your helicopter is safe and sound." Mr. Lee said.
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Lee. You are very kind." Lily and Sam said.

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. Anna has a red scarf. She wants to give it to the snowman.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a scarf for our snowman. He will be warm and cozy," Anna says.
+
+Ben thinks that is a silly idea. He says, "Snowmen don't need scarves, Anna. They like the cold. If you give him your scarf, he will melt."
+
+Anna does not listen to Ben. She wraps the scarf around the snowman's neck. She says, "There, now he is happy. He likes my scarf. He is smiling."
+
+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Anna, he is not smiling. He is dripping. Your scarf is making him wet. He will be gone soon."
+
+Anna looks at the snowman. She sees that he is smaller and softer. She feels sad. She says, "Oh, no, Ben, you are right. My scarf was a silly gift. I want it back."
+
+But it is too late. The scarf is stuck to the snowman. Anna and Ben can't pull it off. They watch as the snowman melts away. They say goodbye to him. They go inside to get warm. They learn a lesson. Next time, they will not give scarves to snowmen.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go for a walk in the park. They see many things. They see birds, flowers, and a big pond.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a duck!" Anna says. She points to a white duck in the pond. "It is swimming and quacking."
+
+"Can we feed the duck?" Ben asks. He has some bread in his pocket. He breaks a piece and throws it to the duck.
+
+"Yes, we can feed the duck. We can serve it some bread. The duck will be happy and grateful," Anna says. She also breaks a piece of bread and throws it to the duck.
+
+The duck swims to the bread and eats it. It quacks louder and wags its tail. It looks at Anna and Ben and nods its head.
+
+"Thank you, duck, for being our friend," Anna says. She smiles and waves to the duck.
+
+"You are welcome, Anna and Ben, for serving me some bread," the duck says. It smiles and waves back to them.
+
+Anna and Ben are surprised and happy. They did not know that the duck can talk. They laugh and clap their hands.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had many toys, but they did not like to sort them. They left them everywhere, on the grass, under the hedge, on the swing. Their mom was upset. She said, "You have to sort your toys and put them in the box. If you don't, they will get dirty or lost or broken."
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They said, "We don't want to sort. We want to play. Sorting is boring." And they ran away to the other side of the garden.
+
+There, they saw a big, shiny ball. They wanted to play with it. They ran to get it, but they did not see the hedge. They bumped into it and fell down. The ball rolled away and got stuck in a hole. They tried to get it, but they could not reach it. They were upset. They cried, "We want our ball. We want our ball."
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the ball in the hole and the toys on the ground. She said, "I told you to sort your toys and put them in the box. Now you have lost your ball and your toys are dirty and messy. Do you see why sorting is important?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong. We will sort our toys and put them in the box. We will be careful and not bump into the hedge. Please help us get our ball."
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "I will help you, but you have to promise me to sort your toys every day. Sorting is not boring. It is fun and useful. It helps you find your toys and keep them clean and safe. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom and Lily promised. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We will sort our toys and be good." And they did. They sorted their toys and put them in the box. They got their ball and played with it. They did not bump into the hedge. They were happy. And their mom was happy too.

+
+One day, he wants to tie a string to his yellow dinosaur. He thinks it will be fun to pull it around like a pet. But he does not know how to tie a knot. He tries and tries, but the string falls off. He gets mad and sad.
+
+He asks his mom for help, but she is busy. She tells him to wait a minute. He asks his dad for help, but he is on the phone. He tells him to be quiet. Tom feels alone and angry.

+Tom liked to carry his watch everywhere. It was a gift from his dad, who was away on a big ship. The watch had a blue face and a shiny strap. It made a tick-tock sound that Tom loved to hear. He wore it on his wrist or put it in his pocket.
+
+One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his sister. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Tom had fun, but he also checked his watch often. He wanted to know when his dad would come back. He missed him a lot.
+
+When it was time to go home, Tom ran to his mom and hugged her. He reached for his pocket, but he felt nothing. His watch was gone! He looked around, but he could not see it. He felt a big lump in his throat and tears in his eyes. He was frightened. He had lost his dad's watch!
+
+He told his mom what happened. She was sad, too, but she tried to comfort him. She said they would look for the watch together. They retraced their steps, asking people and checking the ground. But they could not find it. Tom felt worse and worse.
+
+Then, he heard a familiar sound. Tick-tock, tick-tock. He looked up and saw a big dog. The dog had something shiny in its mouth. It was his watch! The dog had found it and carried it away. Tom was scared of the dog, but he wanted his watch back. He ran towards the dog, calling, "Give me my watch, please!"
+
+The dog looked at Tom and wagged its tail. It dropped the watch on the grass and licked Tom's face. It was a friendly dog. Tom was surprised and happy. He picked up his watch and hugged the dog. He thanked it and petted it. The dog's owner came and apologized. He said the dog liked shiny things and was sorry for taking the watch. Tom's mom and sister joined him. They were relieved and glad. Tom put his watch back on his wrist and smiled. He had found his dad's watch! He hoped his dad would come back soon, too. He wanted to tell him the story of the dog and the watch.

+
+One day, Sam had to go to the toilet. He told Lily to wait for him in the living room. But Lily was curious and followed him. She saw Sam lift the lid of the toilet and sit on it. She wondered what he was doing.
+
+Lily jumped on the toilet and looked inside. She saw water and something else. She tried to touch it with her paw, but it was too far. She leaned over the edge of the toilet, but she lost her balance and fell in.
+
+Sam heard a splash and turned around. He saw Lily in the toilet, wet and scared. He quickly lifted her out and wrapped her in a towel. He said, "Oh, Lily, you silly cat! What were you doing in the toilet? You could have drowned!"
+
+Lily meowed and licked Sam's face. She was sorry for being naughty and making a mess. She was also glad that Sam saved her and was not angry. She snuggled in his arms and purred. Sam smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. I love you, even when you do silly things. But please, stay away from the toilet. It's not a toy."
+Sara and Ben were playing with their sand toys at the beach. They liked to make castles and bridges and tunnels with the sand. They had a big bucket of water to wet the sand and make it stick together.
+
+But Tom, a rude boy from another family, wanted to spoil their fun. He took their bucket of water and poured salt into it. He laughed and said, "Now your sand will not stick. Your castles will fall down. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Sara and Ben were very sad and angry. They tried to prevent Tom from taking their bucket again, but he was bigger and faster than them. He ran away with their bucket and poured more salt into the water. He came back and threw the salty water at their sand toys. He broke their bridges and tunnels and castles. He said, "Your sand toys are no good. They are salty and dirty. Ha ha ha!"
+

+"Help!" Sara cried. "We are shrinking!"

+"What do we do?" Ben asked.
+
+They tried to run to their mom, but they were too small to reach the door. They saw their cat, Fluffy, who was sleeping on the couch. Fluffy was a lazy cat who liked to nap all day. He opened one eye and saw the tiny twins.
+
+"Meow," Fluffy said. He licked his lips and got up from the couch. He walked towards Sara and Ben, who were scared.
+
+"Go away, Fluffy!" Sara shouted.
+
+"Leave us alone, Fluffy!" Ben yelled.
+
+But Fluffy did not listen. He pounced on Sara and Ben and tried to catch them with his paws. Sara and Ben dodged and ran away. They hid under a table and hoped that Fluffy would not find them.

+They wished they had not drunk the shrink juice. They wondered how they could get big again. They hoped that their mom would come and save them. They hugged each other and waited.

+But one day, she saw a big purple truck on the road. It was loud and smelly and scary. It was coming towards the ranch. Lily did not like the purple truck. She wanted it to go away.
+
+She pedaled faster and faster, hoping to reach the gate before the truck. She wanted to close the gate and keep the truck out. She did not want the truck to scare the animals or make noise or dirt.
+
+But the truck was faster than Lily. It got to the gate first and opened it. It drove into the ranch. Lily was angry and sad. She stopped her bike and shouted at the truck.
+
+"Go away, purple truck! You do not belong here! This is my ranch and my animals! You are bad and mean!"
+
+The truck did not listen to Lily. It kept driving and honking and smoking. It made the animals run and hide. It made the ranch look ugly and dirty.

+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it makes music."
+
+They lifted the shiny thing and saw a hole in the back. There was a wire hanging out.
+
+"Look, it needs a plug," Ben said. "Let's find one and see what it does."

+
+They pushed another button and the noise stopped. They looked at each other, scared and curious.

+"Maybe we need to restore it," Ben said. He remembered the word from a story his mom read to him.
+
+They looked at the book in the box. It had a picture of the shiny thing on the cover. It said "How to play records".
+
+"Records?" Anna said. "What are records?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "But maybe the book can help us."
+
+They opened the book and saw many words and pictures. They could not read the words, but they tried to follow the pictures. They learned how to put the round thing on the shiny thing, how to adjust the needle, and how to change the volume.
+
+They tried again. This time, a soft and sweet music came out. They heard a voice singing a song they did not know.
+
+"Wow, this is beautiful," Anna said.
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben said. "I wonder who made this music."
+
+They listened to the music and felt happy. They had restored the shiny thing and discovered an unknown music.

+Ben and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking loud and looked angry. Ben and Lily were scared and ran to the porch. They hoped the dog would go away.
+
+But the dog did not go away. It jumped on the porch and tried to bite the mail that was on the floor. The mail was for Ben and Lily's mom and dad. It had important things inside. Ben and Lily did not want the dog to ruin the mail.
+
+Ben grabbed a stick and waved it at the dog. He said, "Go away, dog! Leave the mail alone! This is our mail, not yours!" Lily picked up a rock and threw it at the dog. She said, "Bad dog! Go find your own mail! You are not nice!"
+
+The dog was surprised by Ben and Lily's courage. It stopped barking and backed away. It ran to the street and looked for another mail to bite. Ben and Lily hugged each other. They were happy they protected the mail.
+
+They took the mail inside and gave it to their mom and dad. They told them what happened with the dog. Their mom and dad were proud of them. They said, "You are very brave and honest, Ben and Lily.

+Lily and Ben like to play hide and seek in the big house. They run and laugh and look for each other in different rooms. Sometimes they hide under the bed or behind the sofa or in the closet.
+
+One day, they find a new place to hide. It is a dark and dusty attic with many old things. Lily sees a big box with a filthy sheet on top. She thinks it is a good place to hide. She pulls the sheet and gets inside the box. She waits for Ben to find her.
+
+Ben climbs the stairs to the attic. He hears a noise from the box. He thinks Lily is hiding there. He wants to scare her. He sneaks up to the box and pulls the sheet. He says "Boo!"
+
+But it is not Lily in the box. It is a big rat with sharp teeth and red eyes. It jumps out of the box and runs towards Ben. Ben screams and runs away. He is very scared.
+
+Lily hears Ben scream. She comes out of her hiding place. She sees the rat and the box and the sheet. She understands what happened. She feels sorry for Ben. She runs after him and hugs him. She says "It's okay, Ben. It was just a rat. It can't hurt you. You are brave."
+
+Ben stops crying. He hugs Lily back. He says "Thank you, Lily. You are kind. I'm sorry I tried to scare you. Let's play somewhere else."
+
+They leave the attic and go to the garden. They play with the flowers and the butterflies. They forget about the rat and the box and the sheet. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Mia says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But we need to give him eyes," Ben says. He runs to the garage and finds a laser. He does not know what it is, but it looks shiny and fun.
+
+He comes back and points the laser at the snowman's face. He presses a button and a red beam comes out. It makes a hole in the snowman's head.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Mia shouts. "You are hurting our snowman!"
+
+Ben is scared. He drops the laser and runs to Mia. He hugs her and says he is sorry.
+
+"I did not know it was bad. I just wanted to make eyes," he says.
+
+Mia is angry, but she sees that Ben is sad. She forgives him and says they can fix the snowman.
+
+They find some stones and put them in the hole. They make eyes and a mouth. They also find a stick and make a pipe.
+
+"There, now he looks better," Mia says.
+
+"Yes, he does. But we have to be careful. The sun is coming out and it is warm. Our snowman might rot," Ben says.
+
+They decide to move their snowman to a shady spot. They hope he will stay icy and happy for a long time. They love their snowman.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. It is thin and long. It has a picture of a train on it.
+
+"What is in the box?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a mystery," Lily says.
+
+They go to the box and try to open it. But it is locked with a padlock. They look for a key, but they can't find one.
+
+"Maybe the key is in the tree," Tom says. He climbs the tree and looks for the key. He sees a bird's nest. He reaches for it.

+
+"But I want to play more," Mia says. "Storms are fun. They make water and sounds."
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, storms are not fun. They can hurt you. They can break things. Come on, Mia. I value you. I don't want you to be sad or scared."
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She sees Tom's face. He looks worried. She remembers that he is her friend. He values her. She values him too.

+"Lily, please, it will be quick. I need to know if you have a fever. Then I can give you some medicine to make you feel better," Mommy said. She pulled the blanket away. She tried to put the thermometer in Lily's mouth.
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily said. She pushed Mommy's hand away. She insisted. She did not want the thermometer. She wanted to be left alone.
+
+Mommy sighed. She was sad and tired. She did not know what to do. She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead. She said, "I love you, Lily. I want you to be well. The thermometer is not so bad. It will not hurt you. It will help you. Can you be brave and let me use it?"
+
+Lily looked at Mommy. She saw Mommy's eyes. They were soft and kind. She heard Mommy's voice. It was gentle and sweet. She felt Mommy's arms. They were warm and strong. She loved Mommy. She did not want to make Mommy sad. She nodded. She said, "Okay, Mommy. I will try. But only for a little bit."
+
+Mommy smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. You are very brave. I am proud of you." She put the thermometer in Lily's mouth. She waited for a few seconds. She looked at the numbers. They were high. She said, "Lily, you have a fever. You are very hot. You need some medicine. It will taste bad, but it will help you."
+
+Lily made a face. She did not like medicine. It was bitter and yucky. But she did not say no. She trusted Mommy. She opened her mouth. She swallowed the medicine. She said, "Mommy, I don't like it. It is terrible."
+
+Mommy said, "I know, Lily. I don't like it either. But it is good for you. It will make you cooler and less coughy. It will make you better. You are a brave girl. I love you." She gave Lily a glass of water. She said, "Drink this. It will wash away the bad taste."
+
+Lily drank the water. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you too." She snuggled with Mommy. She felt a little better. She closed her eyes. She fell asleep. Mommy stayed with her. She stroked her hair. She hoped Lily would be well soon.
+Tommy loved his duck. He named him Quack and took him everywhere. He put Quack in his backpack, in his bed, and in his bath. He liked to talk to Quack and pretend he was a famous duck who could do anything.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and Quack. He saw a big pond with many ducks. He wanted to show Quack to them and make new friends. He ran to the edge of the pond and took Quack out of his backpack.
+
+"Look, Quack, these are your cousins!" he said. "Do you want to say hello?"
+
+But Quack did not want to say hello. He was scared of the big ducks. He quacked loudly and tried to hide in Tommy's arms.
+
+"Quack, don't be shy, they are nice ducks!" Tommy said. He put Quack on the ground and pushed him gently towards the pond.
+
+But Quack did not like that. He felt Tommy was leaving him alone. He quacked louder and ran back to Tommy. He bit Tommy's finger and made him cry.
+
+"Ow, Quack, why did you do that?" Tommy said. He picked up Quack and hugged him. He felt sad and angry.
+
+Mom heard Tommy's cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Quack and the big ducks.
+
+"Tommy, what happened?" she asked.
+
+"Quack bit me, mom!" Tommy said. "He did not want to play with the other ducks. He was mean to me!"
+
+Mom looked at Quack and saw he was shaking. She understood he was afraid.
+
+"Tommy, Quack is not mean, he is just scared," she said. "He is not used to being with other ducks. He only knows you and loves you. He thought you were going to leave him."
+
+Tommy looked at Quack and saw he was sorry. He felt sorry too.
+
+"I'm sorry, Quack, I did not mean to leave you," he said. "I just wanted you to have fun. You are my best friend and my famous duck. I love you too."
+
+He kissed Quack and smiled. Quack quacked happily and licked Tommy's face. Mom smiled too.
+
+"Come on, let's go home," she said. "Maybe we can find a smaller pond for Quack another day."
+
+Tommy nodded and put Quack back in his backpack. He waved goodbye to the big ducks and walked with mom. He learned that Quack was happy with him and did not need other ducks. He was proud of his duck and his duck was proud of him. They were both famous in their own way.
+Lily liked to study books with her mom. She learned many new words and things. One day, mom gave her a book about fruits. Lily saw a picture of a blueberry. She asked mom, "What is this?"
+
+Mom said, "That is a blueberry. It is a small, round fruit that is blue and sweet. Do you want to try one?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to try new things. Mom took her to the kitchen and gave her a bowl of blueberries. Lily picked one and put it in her mouth. She smiled. It was yummy. She ate more and more.
+
+Mom watched her and said, "Be careful, Lily. Don't eat too many. You might get a tummy ache."
+
+Lily did not listen. She loved the blueberries. She ate the whole bowl. She felt happy and full.
+
+But soon, she felt sick. Her tummy hurt. She felt pale and dizzy. She ran to mom and said, "Mom, I don't feel good. I ate too many blueberries."
+
+Mom hugged her and said, "I told you, Lily. You have to eat in moderation. Come on, let's go to the couch and rest. Maybe you will feel better soon."
+
+Lily learned her lesson. She liked to study, but she also had to listen to mom. Next time, she would eat only a few blueberries.
+Sara and Ben like to play with cardboard. They cut and color and glue it to make different things. One day, they make a big cardboard house with a door and windows. They put pillows and toys inside and pretend to live there.
+
+Mom comes to see what they are doing. She smiles and says they are very clever. She also says it is almost time for lunch. She asks them what they want to eat. Sara says she wants cheese and Ben says he wants ham. Mom says okay and goes to the kitchen.
+
+Sara and Ben keep playing in their cardboard house. They make up stories and act them out. They have a lot of fun. Then, Sara remembers something. She says to Ben, "I have a surprise for you. I made you something." She goes to a corner of the house and gets a small cardboard box. She gives it to Ben and says, "Open it."
+
+Ben opens the box and sees a picture of a dinosaur. He likes dinosaurs a lot. He is very happy and says, "Wow, thank you, Sara. This is awesome. How did you make it?" Sara says, "I used crayons and scissors and glue. I saw a dinosaur book in the library and I copied it. I wanted to give it to you for your birthday, but I forgot to mention it."
+
+Ben hugs Sara and says, "You are the best sister ever. This is the best birthday present ever. I love you." Sara says, "I love you too. Happy birthday, Ben."

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park on Tuesday. Tuesday is a sunny day. They run and jump and laugh.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide and climbs up.
+
+"Wait for me, Tom!" Lily says. She runs after him and climbs up too.
+
+They slide down together. Whee! They are happy.
+
+But then they see their moms. Their moms are not happy. Their moms are angry.
+
+"Lily, Tom, what have you done?" Lily's mom says. "You are so dirty! Your clothes are full of mud and grass!"
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily says. She looks at her clothes. They are not clean. They are brown and green.
+
+"Tom, you too!" Tom's mom says. "You need a bath right now! Your face and hands are filthy!"
+
+"Sorry, mom," Tom says. He looks at his face and hands. They are not clean. They are black and red.
+
+Lily and Tom feel bad. They did not mean to be dirty. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+"Can we still be friends, Lily?" Tom asks.
+
+"Of course, Tom," Lily says. "You are my best friend. But next time, let's play on the swings. They are clean."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They go to school together. They like to play and learn new things. But today, they have an exam. An exam is a test that the teacher gives them to see what they know.
+
+Lily is nervous. She does not like exams. She thinks they are hard and scary. She does not want to stay in the classroom. She wants to go outside and run and laugh. She says to Tom, "Let's go. I don't want to do the exam. It is boring and bad."
+
+Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, Lily. We have to stay. The exam is important. It helps us learn more. If we don't do the exam, we will be ignorant. Ignorant means you don't know many things. I don't want to be ignorant. I want to be smart and curious."
+
+Lily looks at Tom. She thinks he is right. She does not want to be ignorant either. She wants to know more things. She says, "Okay, Tom. I will stay. I will try to do the exam. But I am still nervous. Will you help me if I don't know something?"
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "Yes, Lily. I will help you. And you can help me too. We are friends. We can help each other. We can do the exam together. And then we can go outside and play and have fun."
+
+Lily and Tom hold hands. They walk to their seats. They look at the exam. They are brave. They are not ignorant. They are ready to learn.
+Lily was a naughty girl. She did not like to brush her teeth. She said it was boring and icky. She only wanted to eat candy and cake. Her mom and dad told her many times that she had to brush her teeth every day, or they would get sick and hurt.
+
+One night, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster came to her room. The monster had sharp teeth and a scary smile. It said, "I am the tooth fairy, and I have come to take your teeth. You have been naughty and did not brush them, so they are mine now. Give them to me, or I will bite you!"
+
+Lily was very scared. She tried to hide under her blanket, but the monster pulled it away. She cried and said, "No, no, please, don't take my teeth. I need them to eat and talk and smile. Please, go away, leave me alone!"
+
+The monster laughed and said, "Too late, little girl. You should have listened to your mom and dad. Now you will have no teeth, and you will be sorry. Say goodbye to your teeth!"
+
+Lily woke up with a scream. She felt her mouth and was relieved to find her teeth still there. She realized it was only a dream, but it felt very real. She ran to her mom and dad's room and hugged them. She said, "Mom, dad, I'm sorry, I was naughty. I had a bad dream about the tooth fairy. She wanted to take my teeth because I did not brush them. Please, can I brush them now? I don't want to lose them. I don't want to see the monster again."
+
+Her mom and dad were surprised and worried. They hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily, it was just a dream. But we are glad you learned your lesson. You have to brush your teeth every day, or they will get sick and hurt. And the tooth fairy will not take them, but she will give you a coin if you put them under your pillow when they fall out. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and brush your teeth together. And then we can read you a nice story and tuck you in bed."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy to have her mom and dad with her. She was not afraid of the tooth fairy anymore. She was sorry for being naughty. She wanted to be a good girl and take care of her teeth. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. And I love my teeth."
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big yellow slide. They wanted to go on it. But there was a boy on the slide. He was unknown to them. He did not let them go on the slide. He said, "This is my slide. Go away!"
+
+Lila and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted to have fun on the slide. They tried to resist the boy. They said, "No, this is not your slide. This is for everyone. Please share with us!"
+
+The boy did not listen. He pushed them away. He said, "No, this is mine. You are not my friends. I don't share with strangers!"
+
+Lila and Tom felt hurt. They cried. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. Their mom hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That boy was not nice. He did not know how to share. Sharing is good. Sharing makes friends. Sharing makes happy."
+
+Lila and Tom nodded. They said, "We know, mom. We like to share. We like to make friends. We like to be happy."
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "That's good, my loves. You are kind and smart. Maybe next time, you can find another slide. Or another toy. Or another game. There are many things to play with in the park. And there are many children to play with, too. Children who are nice and who know how to share."
+
+Lila and Tom smiled, too. They said, "Yes, mom. You are right. We will find another slide. Or another toy. Or another game. And we will find nice children to play with. Children who are like us. Children who share and make friends and are happy."
+
+They kissed their mom. They said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for being with us."
+
+Their mom said, "I love you, too, my loves. You are welcome. I'm always with you."
+
+They held hands. They went to find another slide. Or another toy. Or another game. And they found nice children to play with. Children who shared and made friends and were happy. And they had fun in the park. And they learned a lesson. A lesson about sharing. A lesson about kindness. A lesson about happiness.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir and pour and taste. One day, her mom said, "Lily, we are going to make soup. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She climbed on a chair and looked at the table. There were many things on the table. There were carrots and onions and celery and potatoes. Her mom said, "Lily, you can choose one thing to put in the soup. What do you want to choose?"
+
+Lily looked at the things. She liked carrots. They were orange and sweet. She liked onions. They were white and spicy. She liked celery. They were green and crunchy. But she liked potatoes best. They were brown and soft. She said, "I choose potatoes, mom!"
+
+Her mom said, "Good choice, Lily! Potatoes are good for soup. They make it thick and yummy. Can you help me wash the potatoes?" Lily said, "Yes, mom!" She took a potato and rubbed it under the water. She did the same with the other potatoes.
+
+Then her mom said, "Lily, can you help me cut the potatoes?" Lily said, "Yes, mom!" Her mom gave her a knife and a board. She showed her how to cut the potatoes into small pieces. Lily tried to cut the potatoes, but they were hard. She said, "Mom, this is hard!"
+
+Her mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. You are doing great. Just be careful with the knife. You are a good helper." She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. Lily felt happy. She liked to help her mom. She liked to make soup. She liked potatoes. She said, "Mom, I love you!"
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily!" They finished cutting the potatoes and put them in a big pot. They added the other things and some water and salt. They turned on the stove and waited for the soup to boil. They smelled the soup and it smelled good. They said, "We made soup, Lily!"
+
+Lily said, "We made soup, mom!" She was proud of herself. She wanted to taste the soup. She said, "Mom, can I taste the soup?" Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. But be careful. The soup is hot. You need a spoon and a bowl."
+
+Her mom gave her a spoon and a bowl. She ladled some soup into the bowl and blew on it. She said, "Here you go, Lily. Try the soup." Lily took the spoon and dipped it into the soup. She saw a potato piece on the spoon. She put it in her mouth and chewed. It was warm and soft and yummy. She said, "Mmm, mom. The soup is good!"
+
+Her mom said, "I'm glad you like it, Lily. You did a great job. You are a good cook." She took a spoon and a bowl for herself and tasted the soup. She said, "Mmm, Lily. You are right. The soup is good!"
+
+They ate the soup and enjoyed it. They were happy and full. They thanked each other for the help. They cleaned up the kitchen and put away the things. They said, "We are a good team, Lily!"
+
+Lily said, "We are a good team, mom!" She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. This was fun!" Her mom said, "Thank you, Lily. This was fun!" They smiled and went to the living room. They saw Lily's dad and brother. They were tall and hungry. They said, "What's for dinner?"
+
+Lily and her mom said, "Soup!" They showed them the pot and the bowls and the spoons. They said, "We made soup, dad! We made soup, brother! We used potatoes and other things. It is thick and yummy. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily's dad and brother said, "Yes, please! We want some!" They took the bowls and the spoons and tasted the soup. They said, "Mmm, this is good soup! You are good cooks, Lily and mom! Thank you for making soup!"
+
+Lily and her mom said, "You are welcome, dad and brother! We are happy to share soup!" They all ate the soup and enjoyed it. They were happy and full. They thanked each other for the food. They said, "We are a good family, Lily!"
+
+Lily said, "We are a good family, mom and dad and brother!" She felt happy. She liked to help her mom. She liked to make soup. She liked potatoes. She liked her family. She said, "I love you, family!"
+
+Her family said, "We love you too, Lily
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tim got a new watch from his mom. It was shiny and had many colors. Tim was very happy and showed his watch to Sam.
+
+"Wow, your watch is so cool!" Sam said. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, you can see it, but be careful. It is not a toy, it is a real watch," Tim said. He gave his watch to Sam.
+
+Sam looked at the watch and felt envious. He wanted a watch like that too. He thought of a bad idea. He pretended to drop the watch and then stepped on it. The watch broke and made a loud noise.
+
+"Oops, I'm sorry, Tim. I didn't mean to break your watch," Sam said. He gave the watch back to Tim.
+
+Tim saw his watch and felt very sad and angry. His watch was torn and had cracks. He could not tell the time anymore. He knew Sam did it on purpose.
+
+"You are not sorry, Sam. You are mean and selfish. You broke my watch because you were envious. You are not my friend anymore," Tim said. He took his watch and ran away.
+
+Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He wished he could say sorry to Tim and fix his watch. But he did not know how. He was alone and had no watch and no friend.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and puzzles. But they also like to explore the house. Sometimes they find new things to see and touch.
+
+One day, they see a shiny key on the table. They wonder what it can unlock. They take the key and go to the door. They try to unlock the door, but it is too high. They need something to stand on. They look around and see a big box. They push the box to the door and climb on it. Now they can reach the door. They put the key in the lock and turn it. The door opens.
+
+They are very happy. They go out of the door and into the hall. They see many other doors. They want to unlock them too. They run to the first door and try the key. It does not work. They try the second door. It does not work either. They try the third door. It works. They unlock the door and go inside.
+
+They see a big bed and a closet and a dresser. They see many clothes on the bed and in the closet. They like the colors and the patterns. They want to try them on. They take off their shirts and put on different shirts. They laugh and dance and look at themselves in the mirror. They think they look very funny.
+
+They hear a noise. It is Mom. She is coming up the stairs. She smells something yummy. She has made cookies for them. She calls their names. They hear her and stop. They are scared. They know they are not supposed to go out of their room. They quickly take off the shirts and put on their own shirts. They hide the key under the pillow. They run to the door and lock it. They hope Mom will not find out. They pretend they are playing in their room.
+
+Mom knocks on the door. She says, "Tom, Lily, are you there? I have cookies for you. They are yummy. Can I come in?" Tom and Lily say, "Yes, Mom, we are here. We are playing. You can come in." They open the door and smile. Mom sees them and smiles too. She does not see the key or the shirts. She gives them each a cookie and a hug. She says, "You are good twins. I love you." Tom and Lily say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the cookies. They are yummy." They eat the cookies and hug Mom. They are happy. They forget about the key and the shirts. They do not want to unlock any more doors. They just want to play in their room.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toy animals. Lila had a rhinoceros and Ben had a lion. They pretended that the rhinoceros and the lion were friends and went on adventures together.
+
+But then, a big boy came and took Lila's rhinoceros. He said it was his and ran away. Lila was very sad and angry. She shouted, "Give me back my rhinoceros! It is mine!"
+
+Ben saw what happened and ran after the big boy. He shouted, "Stop! You are not nice! You are a bully!"
+
+The big boy did not stop. He laughed and said, "You are too small to catch me! I have the best toy!"
+
+Ben did not give up. He was brave and fast. He caught up with the big boy and grabbed the rhinoceros. He said, "This is Lila's rhinoceros! You have to give it back!"
+
+The big boy tried to pull the rhinoceros, but Ben was stronger. He pushed the big boy and made him fall. He said, "You are a meanie! You have to say sorry!"
+
+The big boy was scared and hurt. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry. I was greedy and rude. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Ben was humble and kind. He said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to be nice to other kids and share your toys."
+
+The big boy nodded and said, "I will. Thank you for teaching me a lesson."
+
+Ben gave the rhinoceros back to Lila. She was very happy and hugged him. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are my hero and my best friend."

+They smiled and played with their toy animals again. They invited the big boy to join them. He said yes and brought his lion. They pretended that the rhinoceros, the lion, and the other animals were friends and went on adventures together. They had a lot of fun.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and bark.
+
+One day, they were playing in the sandbox when they saw the sky change color. It was orange, pink and purple. They stopped playing and gazed at the sunset. It was very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said.
+
+"It's like a painting," Lila said.
+
+They heard their mom call them from the house. "Lila, Ben, time for dinner!"
+
+They got up and ran to the house, but Spot stayed behind. He was still gazing at the sunset. He liked the colors too.
+
+But then, he heard a loud noise. It was a car horn. It was very harsh. It hurt his ears. He looked at the road and saw a big truck. It was coming fast. It was very scary.
+
+Spot barked and ran away from the road. He ran to the house, where Lila and Ben were waiting for him. They hugged him and gave him a treat.
+
+"Good boy, Spot," Lila said.
+
+"You're safe now," Ben said.
+
+They all went inside and had dinner. They were happy and full. They forgot about the harsh noise and the scary truck. They only remembered the pretty sunset. They gazed at it from the window and smiled.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shells, rocks, or coins. One day, they found something shiny and sticky. It was oil!
+
+"Look, Tom, we found oil!" Sara said. "Maybe we are rich!"
+
+Tom was not sure. He smelled the oil and made a face. "It smells bad, Sara. And it is dirty. I don't think it is good oil."
+
+Sara did not care. She wanted to keep the oil. She put it in a bottle and took it home. She showed it to her mom and dad.
+
+"Mom, dad, look what we found in the park! It is oil!" Sara said.
+
+Mom and dad looked at the bottle. They were surprised. They realized that the oil was very old. It was ancient oil. It came from a long time ago, when there were big animals and plants in the ground. They told Sara and Tom about the ancient oil and how it was made.
+
+Sara and Tom learned something new. They were happy. But they also felt sorry for the oil. It was lonely and sad in the bottle. It wanted to be with its friends in the ground. Sara and Tom decided to take the oil back to the park. They dug a hole and poured the oil in it. They covered it with sand and said goodbye.
+
+"Bye, oil. Thank you for letting us see you. We hope you are happy now," Sara and Tom said.
+
+The oil was happy. It felt warm and cozy in the ground. It thanked Sara and Tom for being kind. It hoped they would find more treasures in the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a bottle of soap and a wand to make bubbles. They blew the wand and watched the bubbles fly in the air. They tried to catch them and pop them with their fingers.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can whistle!" Ben said. He put his lips together and made a loud sound. "Can you whistle too?"
+
+Lily tried to whistle, but she could not. She only made a funny noise. She felt sad. She wanted to whistle like Ben.
+
+"Whistling is hard," she said. "I wish I could whistle."
+
+Ben saw that Lily was sad. He wanted to cheer her up. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's play a game," he said. "We can whistle at the bubbles and see if they pop."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked games. She nodded.
+
+They blew more bubbles and whistled at them. Some of the bubbles popped, and some did not. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But they did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was a naughty dog. He liked to chase and bite things. He saw the bubbles and thought they were toys. He ran towards them and jumped.
+
+"Spot, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. "Those are our bubbles!"
+
+But it was too late. Spot bit the bubbles and the wand. He broke them. The soap spilled on the grass. There were no more bubbles.
+
+Lily and Ben were angry. They scolded Spot. Spot looked sorry. He wagged his tail and licked their faces.
+
+"Bad dog," Lily said. "You ruined our game."
+
+"Maybe we can get another bottle of soap," Ben said. "Or we can play something else."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She still wanted to whistle, but she also loved Spot.
+
+"OK," she said. "But you have to teach me how to whistle."
+
+Ben agreed. He hugged Lily and Spot. They went inside to find another game. They were still friends.
+Lily was bored. She wanted to play, but it was raining outside. She looked out the window and saw big drops of water falling from the sky. She wondered why the sky was crying.
+
+She walked around the house and saw her mom in the kitchen. Her mom was busy making soup on the stove. The stove was hot and made steam. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what her mom was doing.
+
+"Mom, can I help you?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. You can help me stir the soup. But be careful, it's very hot. Don't touch the stove or the pot," her mom said.
+
+She gave Lily a wooden spoon and lifted her up to the counter. Lily felt happy. She liked to help her mom. She stirred the soup slowly and smelled the yummy food.
+
+"Mom, what is in the soup?" she asked.
+
+"Well, we have carrots, potatoes, chicken, and some spices. Do you like soup?" her mom asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Soup is good for rainy days. It makes me warm and cozy," Lily said.
+
+"Me too. Soup is one of my favorite things to make and eat. Do you know why?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She wondered why.
+
+"Because soup is easy to make, and you can use many different things. You can use whatever you have in the fridge or the pantry. You can also add your own touch. For example, I like to add some lemon juice and parsley to make it more fresh and tasty. What would you add to your soup?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She wondered what she would add to her soup. She looked around the kitchen and saw a jar of cookies on the shelf.
+
+"I would add cookies to my soup," she said.
+
+Her mom laughed. She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek.
+
+"You are so funny, my sweet girl. Cookies are not for soup. Cookies are for dessert. Maybe after we finish our soup, we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" she asked.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked that idea. She liked soup and cookies and milk. She liked rainy days and helping her mom. She wondered what else she would do today.
+Lily was a cat who liked to question everything. She always asked her mom why the sky was blue, why the birds sang, and why the mice ran away. Her mom told her that it was good to be curious, but she also had to be careful and smart.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big rat in the garden. She wanted to question it, too. She ran after it and said, "Hey, rat, why are you so big and ugly? Why do you have a long tail and sharp teeth? Why do you smell so bad?" The rat did not answer. It just ran faster and faster, until it reached a hole in the fence.
+
+Lily followed the rat into the hole, but she did not see that it was a trap. The hole was very dark and narrow, and there was a wire that snapped around her neck. She felt a sharp pain and could not breathe. She tried to cry for help, but no one heard her.
+
+The rat turned around and laughed. It said, "You are a foolish cat, Lily. You question too much and you do not think. You should have known that I was not a friend, but an enemy. You should have listened to your mom and been careful and smart. Now you are caught and I am free. I am a successful rat, and you are a failed cat."
+
+Lily realized that the rat was right. She had been too curious and too rude. She had not paid attention to the signs of danger. She had not learned from her mom's wisdom. She felt very sorry and very sad. She wished she could go back and do things differently. But it was too late.
+
+The moral of the story is: Curiosity is good, but it must be balanced with caution and respect.
+Lila liked to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she saw a big black beetle on a leaf. She wanted to catch it and show it to her mom.
+
+"Hello, beetle," she said. "You are very original. You have a shiny shell and long legs. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The beetle did not answer. It did not like to be disturbed. It tried to run away, but Lila was faster. She grabbed it with her hand and put it in a jar.
+
+"Look, mom," she said. "I found a new friend. He is a beetle. He is very original."
+
+Mom looked at the jar. She saw the beetle crawling and scratching. She did not think it was happy.
+
+"Lila, that is a nice beetle, but I don't think he likes to be in the jar," she said. "He needs air and food and space. He wants to be free in the garden. That is his home."
+
+Lila looked at the jar. She saw the beetle's eyes. They looked sad. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Mom, you are right," she said. "He is not happy. He wants to go home. I will let him go. But can I say goodbye to him?"
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Lila. She was kind and smart.
+
+"Of course, you can," she said. "But be gentle. And maybe you can recommend him a nice flower to eat."
+
+Lila nodded. She opened the jar and held out her hand. The beetle crawled on her palm. She whispered to him.
+
+"Goodbye, beetle. You are very original. I am sorry I took you from your home. I hope you find a nice flower to eat. I recommend the red one. It is sweet and pretty. Maybe we can meet again. Be careful and have fun."
+
+The beetle seemed to understand. It waved its antennae and made a soft noise. Then it flew away to the red flower. Lila watched him go. She felt happy and sad at the same time.
+
+"Bye, beetle," she said. "Thank you for being my friend."
+Ben likes to do print with his mom. They have a big machine that makes pictures on paper. Mom says it is a printer. Ben can choose what he wants to print from the computer. He likes to print animals and cars and stars.
+
+One day, Ben wants to print a dinosaur. He asks mom, "Can we print a dinosaur, please?"
+
+Mom says, "Sure, let me see if we have enough paper and ink. We need both to print."
+
+She looks at the printer and sees a red light. She says, "Oh no, we are out of ink. We can't print anything right now. We have to buy more ink first."
+
+Ben is sad. He really wants to print a dinosaur. He says, "But I want a dinosaur now. Can we go to the store and buy ink?"
+
+Mom says, "I'm sorry, Ben, but we can't go to the store right now. It is too late and the store is closed. We have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe we can find something else to do."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "Can we draw a dinosaur instead? We have crayons and paper. We can make our own print."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's a great idea, Ben. We can draw a dinosaur and color it. We can make it any way we want. We don't need ink for that. We have everything we need right here."
+
+Ben is happy. He says, "Yay, let's do that. I want to make a big green dinosaur with spikes and teeth."
+
+Mom says, "Okay, let's do that. You can draw the dinosaur and I can help you. Then we can hang it on the wall and admire it."
+
+They go to the table and get the crayons and paper. They start to draw and color a dinosaur. They have fun and make a beautiful print. Ben is proud of his dinosaur. He says, "Look, mom, we did it. We made a dinosaur print. It is awesome."
+
+Mom says, "Yes, we did. It is awesome. You are very creative, Ben. I love your dinosaur print. You did a great job."
+
+They hug and hang the print on the wall. They look at it and smile. They are happy. They don't need ink to do print. They have crayons and paper and imagination. They have everything they need.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play and have fun. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big playground with swings, slides and a sandbox.
+
+Sara and Tom run to the swings. They push each other and laugh. They see a boy and a girl on the slide. The boy and the girl are holding hands and smiling. They look happy.
+
+"Look, Sara, they are in love!" Tom says.
+
+Sara makes a face. She does not like love. She thinks love is stupid.
+
+"Love is stupid. Love is for babies. We are big kids. We don't need love." Sara says.
+
+Tom nods. He agrees with Sara. He does not like love either.
+
+"Let's go to the sandbox. We can make a castle." Tom says.
+
+Sara and Tom leave the swings and go to the sandbox. They take their buckets and shovels and start to dig. They pile up the sand and make a big castle. They are proud of their castle.
+
+The boy and the girl on the slide finish their slide. They see Sara and Tom's castle. They think it is nice. They want to play with Sara and Tom.
+
+"Hi, can we play with you?" The girl asks.
+
+Sara and Tom look at the girl and the boy. They do not want to play with them. They do not like them. They are in love.
+
+"Go away. You can't play with us. You are stupid. You are in love." Sara says.
+
+The girl and the boy feel sad. They do not understand why Sara and Tom are mean. They do not think love is stupid. They think love is nice.
+
+"Love is not stupid. Love is fun. We like to hug and kiss and dance." The boy says.
+
+Sara and Tom laugh. They think hugging and kissing and dancing are silly. They do not want to do those things.
+
+"Hugging and kissing and dancing are silly. We don't want to do those things. We want to play with our castle." Tom says.
+
+The girl and the boy feel hurt. They do not want to fight with Sara and Tom. They want to be friends.
+
+"Can't we be friends? We can play with your castle and you can play with us. We can share and have fun." The girl says.
+
+Sara and Tom shake their heads. They do not want to be friends. They do not want to share. They want to be alone.
+
+"No, we can't be friends. We don't like you. You are stupid. You are in love. Go away." Sara says.
+
+She picks up a handful of sand and throws it at the girl and the boy. The sand hits them in the face. They cry.
+
+Sara and Tom laugh. They think they are smart. They think they are cool. They do not care about the girl and the boy.
+
+Their moms see what is happening. They are angry. They call Sara and Tom.
+
+"Sara! Tom! Come here right now! What are you doing? Why are you throwing sand at them? Why are you being mean?" Their moms say.
+
+Sara and Tom stop laughing. They feel scared. They know they are in trouble. They run to their moms.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We were just playing." Sara says.
+
+"We don't like them, mom. They are stupid. They are in love." Tom says.
+
+Their moms shake their heads. They are disappointed. They do not think Sara and Tom are smart. They do not think Sara and Tom are cool. They think Sara and Tom are rude.
+
+"Sara, Tom, you are being rude. You are not being nice. You are not being kind. You are hurting their feelings. You are making them sad." Their moms say.
+
+Sara and Tom look at the girl and the boy. They see their tears. They see their sand. They feel bad. They realize they are wrong.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, girl. We are sorry, boy. We were wrong. We were mean. We were rude." Sara says.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, girl. We are sorry, boy. We want to be friends. We want to play with you. We want to have fun." Tom says.
+
+The girl and the boy wipe their tears. They smile. They forgive Sara and Tom. They want to be friends too.
+
+"It's okay, Sara. It's okay, Tom. We forgive you. We want to be friends too. We want to play with you. We want to have fun." The girl says.
+
+Their moms smile. They are happy. They are proud. They see Sara and Tom are learning. They see Sara and Tom are growing.
+
+"Good, Sara. Good, Tom. You are learning. You are growing
+Lily was a gifted girl. She could draw, sing and dance very well. She liked to show her skills to her family and friends. They always clapped and cheered for her.
+
+One night, Lily was in her room. She wanted to draw a picture for her mom. She took her crayons and paper and sat on the floor. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you" inside.
+
+She was very happy with her picture. She wanted to show it to her mom right away. She got up and walked to the door. But then she saw something that made her stop. It was a big, dark shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster with horns and teeth. It moved and growled.
+
+Lily was very scared. She screamed and ran back to her bed. She covered herself with her blanket and cried. She thought the shadow was going to get her.
+
+Mom heard Lily scream and ran to her room. She turned on the light and saw Lily under the blanket. She also saw the shadow on the wall. She knew what it was. It was not a monster. It was the shadow of her coat rack and her hat.
+
+Mom smiled and walked to the bed. She pulled the blanket and hugged Lily. She said, "Don't be scared, Lily. It's not a monster. It's just a shadow. Look, it's my coat and hat. See?"
+
+She took Lily to the wall and showed her the coat rack and the hat. She moved them and the shadow changed. She said, "Shadows are not real. They are just shapes made by light and things. They can't hurt you. They can't do anything."
+
+Lily looked and understood. She felt silly and brave. She said, "Oh, I see. It's just a shadow. It's not scary. It's funny."
+
+She laughed and hugged Mom. She said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a gifted girl. You are smart and brave. And you made a beautiful picture for me. Can I see it?"
+
+Lily nodded and showed her the picture. Mom smiled and said, "It's wonderful. Thank you, Lily. You made my day."
+
+She kissed Lily and tucked her in. She said, "Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams."
+
+Lily said, "Good night, Mom. Sweet dreams."
+
+She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She was not scared of shadows anymore. She was happy and proud.
+Lily liked to play with her doll. Her doll had a pink dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush her hair and make her dance. One day, Lily saw a new doll in the store. The new doll was furry and had big ears. Lily wanted the new doll very much.
+
+"Mommy, can I have the new doll?" Lily asked. "She is so furry and cute!"
+
+Mommy looked at the new doll. She smiled and said, "That is not a doll, Lily. That is a bunny. A bunny is an animal that hops and eats carrots."
+
+Lily was confused. She did not know what an animal was. She only knew dolls and toys. She looked at the new doll again. She saw that it had a nose and a mouth, just like her doll. She saw that it had eyes and hands, just like her doll. She did not see any difference.
+
+"But she looks like a doll, Mommy," Lily said. "She has a dress and shoes, too. Why is she not a doll?"
+
+Mommy tried to explain. She said, "A doll is something that we make. We use cloth and plastic and yarn to make dolls. A bunny is something that God made. He used fur and bones and blood to make bunnies. Dolls are not alive, but bunnies are. Bunnies can move and feel and breathe, but dolls cannot."
+
+Lily listened to Mommy. She tried to understand. She touched the new doll's fur. She felt that it was soft and warm. She touched her doll's hair. She felt that it was smooth and cold. She saw that the new doll moved when she touched it. She saw that her doll did not move at all. She realized that Mommy was right. The new doll was not a doll. The new doll was a bunny.
+
+Lily looked at Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy, for explaining. I understand now. Can I still have the bunny? I want to be her friend."
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and said, "You are very welcome, Lily. I am glad you understand. Yes, you can have the bunny. But you have to take good care of her. She is not a toy. She is a living thing. You have to feed her and clean her and love her. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy, I can do that. I will be a good friend to the bunny. I will name her Fluffy. She is so furry and cute!"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "That is a good name, Lily. Fluffy is lucky to have you. And you are lucky to have Fluffy. Now, let's go home and introduce her to your doll. Maybe they can be friends, too."
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big place with many animals. It is a zoo.
+
+They go inside with Mom and Dad. They see lions, monkeys, birds, and more. Sara and Ben are happy. They want to see everything.
+
+They come to a place with a big sign. It says "Camels". Sara and Ben do not know what camels are. They stare at the animals. They have long necks, big humps, and funny faces.
+
+Mom says, "Camels live in a very dry place. They can go a long time without water. They store water in their humps."
+
+Sara and Ben think that is amazing. They want to touch the camels. But Dad says, "No, they might bite. We can only look."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They keep staring at the camels. They wonder how it feels to have a hump. They think camels are very cool.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big lake with many birds. Sara liked the white birds with long necks. She called them swans. Ben liked the brown birds with short necks. He called them ducks.
+
+"Look, a swan!" Sara said, pointing to a bird that was swimming near the shore. "It is so light and pretty. I want to touch it."
+
+"No, you can't!" Ben said. "The swan will bite you. It is mean and scary. I want to bury it in the sand."
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the swan. Sara reached out her hand to pet it. Ben grabbed a shovel and tried to hit it. The swan saw them and got angry. It hissed and flapped its wings. It pecked at Sara's hand and Ben's shovel.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara and Ben cried. They dropped their hand and shovel and ran away. The swan chased them for a while, then went back to the lake.
+
+Sara and Ben were sad and hurt. They sat on a bench and looked at the swan. They saw that it was not mean and scary. It was just protecting itself. They felt sorry for the swan.
+
+"Maybe we should not have tried to touch it or bury it," Sara said. "Maybe we should have just watched it and said hello."
+
+"Maybe you are right," Ben said. "Maybe the swan is light and pretty. Maybe we can be friends with it."
+
+They got up and walked to the lake. They waved at the swan and said sorry. The swan looked at them and nodded. It swam closer and let them feed it some bread. Sara and Ben smiled and hugged. They learned to be kind to the swan.
+Anna liked to record her voice with her toy phone. She would say funny things and then listen to them. She thought it was very fun. One day, she wanted to record something new. She looked around her room and saw her stuffed lion. She had an idea.
+
+She took her lion and her phone and went to the garden. She saw a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and pretended it was a spear. She said to her lion, "We are going to hunt for food. You are a brave lion and I am a strong hunter. Come on, let's go!" She pressed the record button on her phone and put it in her pocket.
+
+She ran around the garden with her lion and her spear. She saw a bird, a butterfly, a flower and a snail. She pretended they were all animals she could catch. She threw her spear at them and made loud noises. She said, "I got you, bird! You are my dinner! I got you, butterfly! You are my dessert! I got you, flower! You are my lovely gift for my lion! I got you, snail! You are my...uh...snack!" She laughed and hugged her lion.
+
+She went back to the house and took out her phone. She wanted to hear her voice and her adventure. She pressed the play button and listened. She heard her voice and her noises. She smiled and giggled. She thought it was very funny. She showed her phone to her mom and dad. They listened and smiled too. They said, "You are very creative, Anna. We love your story. You are a great hunter and your lion is a great friend." Anna felt happy. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you and I love my lion and my phone and my spear." She gave them a big hug and a kiss.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big, brown dog who liked to run and jump and bark. One day, Lily and Spot went to the park with Lily's mom. There were many flowers and trees and birds in the park. Lily and Spot were very excited.
+
+"Look, Spot, look!" Lily said, pointing to a yellow flower. "That is a lily, like me! Do you like lilies, Spot?"
+
+Spot ran to the flower and sniffed it. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. "Woof, woof!" he said. He liked lilies, too.
+
+Lily giggled and hugged Spot. She picked the flower and put it in her hair. She felt very pretty. She wanted to show her mom. She called, "Mom, mom, look at me and Spot!"
+
+Lily's mom turned and smiled. She saw Lily and Spot with the yellow flower. She walked over to them and said, "You look very lovely, Lily. And you, too, Spot. What a nice flower you found."
+
+Lily beamed and said, "Thank you, mom. It is a lily, like me. Spot likes it, too. He is a good dog."
+
+Lily's mom nodded and said, "He is a very good dog. And you are a very good girl. Do you want to play some more in the park?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love the park. And I love you, mom. And I love Spot."
+
+Lily's mom hugged Lily and Spot and said, "I love you, too, Lily. And I love Spot. Come on, let's go play."
+
+Lily and Spot followed Lily's mom to the playground. They had a lot of fun. They slid and swung and climbed and ran. They met some other kids and dogs and played with them. They were very happy.
+
+At the end of the day, Lily and Spot were very tired. They went back to the car with Lily's mom. Lily said, "That was a great day, mom. Thank you for taking us to the park."
+
+Lily's mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you had fun. You and Spot were very good today."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Lily's mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best daughter ever."
+
+Lily and Spot cuddled in the back seat. Lily still had the yellow flower in her hair. She gave it to Spot and said, "Here, Spot. This is for you. You are the best dog ever."
+
+Spot licked Lily's face and said, "Woof, woof!" He took the flower and shook it in his mouth. He was very happy.
+
+Lily and Spot fell asleep in the car. They dreamed of the park and the lilies and their mom. They were very lucky.
+Anna liked to collect shiny things. She had a box full of buttons, beads, coins and rings. She thought they were very pretty and made her happy. She called them her luxury things.
+
+One day, she saw a new shiny thing in the garden. It was a big, round, silver ball. It was hanging from a tree. Anna wanted to have it for her collection. She ran to the tree and tried to reach the ball.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" a voice said. Anna looked up and saw a grumpy bird on a branch. The bird had red feathers and a yellow beak. It was the bird's ball. "That's mine! Go away!"
+
+"But I want it!" Anna said. "It's so shiny and nice. Can I have it, please?"
+
+"No, you can't!" the bird said. "It's my luxury thing. I found it in a trash can. It's very special to me. It makes me happy. You have your own shiny things. Leave mine alone!"
+
+Anna felt sad and angry. She wanted the ball very much. She thought the bird was mean and selfish. She decided to wait until the bird flew away and then take the ball.
+
+But the bird did not fly away. It stayed on the branch and watched Anna. It saw that Anna was still looking at the ball. It felt sorry for Anna. It remembered that it was lonely and bored before it found the ball. It thought that maybe Anna was lonely and bored too. It thought that maybe they could be friends and share the ball.
+
+"Hey, do you want to play with me?" the bird asked. "We can take turns with the ball. It's more fun to play together than alone."
+
+Anna was surprised. She looked at the bird and saw that it was not so grumpy anymore. It had a friendly smile on its beak. Anna smiled back. She liked the idea of playing with the bird. She nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you for sharing your ball."
+
+The bird flew down and gave the ball to Anna. Anna held it in her hands and admired it. Then she gave it back to the bird. The bird tossed it in the air and caught it. They laughed and played with the ball. They became friends and shared their luxury thing. They were both happy.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to dress up. She had many blouses in her closet, but she always wanted more. One day, she saw a pretty blouse in the store window. It was pink and had flowers on it. Sara wanted it very much.
+
+She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. She said they had enough blouses at home, and they had to save money for other things. Sara was very angry and impatient. She did not listen to her mom. She ran into the store and grabbed the blouse. She tried to run out, but she did not see the step at the door. She tripped and fell. The blouse ripped and got dirty. Sara hurt her knee and cried.
+
+The store owner came and saw what Sara had done. He was very angry and called Sara's mom. Sara's mom was very sad and ashamed. She apologized to the store owner and paid for the blouse. She took Sara home and scolded her. She said Sara was very naughty and selfish. She said Sara had to learn to be happy with what she had, and to respect other people's things. She said Sara had to give away some of her blouses to other children who had less. Sara felt very sorry and ashamed. She said she was sorry to her mom and the store owner. She said she would never do it again. She learned her lesson.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big red kite in a tree. They wanted to fly the kite in the sky.
+
+"Look, Max, a kite!" Lily said. "Can we take it?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe someone lost it. It is very pretty. It has velvet on the tail."
+
+"Please, Max, let's try it. Maybe we can find the owner later. I want to see it soar like a bird."
+
+Max nodded. He helped Lily get the kite out of the tree. They ran to the open field and held the string. The wind was strong and the kite lifted up. It was very lively. It danced and spun in the air.
+
+"Wow, Lily, it is so fun! The kite is happy, too. See how it smiles?"
+
+Lily laughed. She felt the velvet tickle her hand. She loved the kite. She hoped they could keep it.
+
+But then, they heard a voice. It was a boy. He was looking for his kite.
+
+"Hey, that's my kite! I lost it yesterday. Give it back!"
+
+Lily and Max felt sad. They did not want to give the kite back. But they knew it was the right thing to do.
+
+"Sorry, boy. We found your kite in the tree. We did not know it was yours. It is a very nice kite. We had fun with it."
+
+The boy smiled. He was glad to see his kite again. He thanked Lily and Max for finding it. He asked them if they wanted to fly it with him.
+
+Lily and Max agreed. They became friends with the boy. They took turns flying the kite. They watched it soar in the sky. They felt the velvet on the tail. They had a lively day.
+Ben and Lily wanted to see the fireworks. They liked the bright colors and loud noises in the sky. But it was very cold outside. The wind was bitter and made their noses red. They put on their hats and coats and gloves.
+
+"Can we go now, Mom?" Ben asked. He was excited and impatient.
+
+"Not yet, honey. We have to wait for Dad. He is getting the car ready," Mom said. She smiled and gave them a hug. "Why don't you hang your stockings by the fireplace? Maybe Santa will bring you something nice."
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the living room. They found their stockings and hung them on the hooks. They hoped Santa would fill them with candy and toys. They looked at the clock. It was almost time to go.
+
+"Dad, are you done?" Lily called. She heard the car engine start.
+
+"Yes, I'm done. Come on, kids. Let's go see the fireworks," Dad said. He opened the door and waved at them.
+
+Ben and Lily grabbed their mom's hand and followed their dad. They got in the car and buckled their seatbelts. They drove to the park where the fireworks show was. They found a good spot to watch. They saw many other people and cars.
+
+"Look, there they are!" Ben shouted. He pointed at the sky. He saw the first firework shoot up and explode. It was blue and green and sparkled.
+
+"Wow, they're so pretty!" Lily said. She clapped her hands. She saw another firework. It was red and yellow and made a loud bang.
+
+Ben and Lily watched the fireworks with wonder. They forgot about the cold and the wind. They felt warm and happy. They hugged their mom and dad. They thanked them for taking them to see the fireworks. They had a great night.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They found a box that was very dusty and heavy. They opened the box and saw a lot of shiny things inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He picked up a necklace that had a big stone that was blue and green. The stone was glowing like a star.
+
+"Let me see!" Mia said. She wanted to hold the necklace too. She tried to grab it from Tom, but he pulled it away.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He put the necklace around his neck and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Mia said. She chased after Tom, but he was too fast. He ran down the stairs and out of the house.
+
+Mia followed him, but she was angry and sad. She wanted to share the necklace with Tom, but he was being mean. She wished he would be nice to her.
+
+Tom ran to the park, where he saw his friend Sam. He wanted to show him the necklace and how it glowed.
+
+"Look what I found!" Tom said. He showed Sam the necklace and how it sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said. He reached out to touch the necklace, but Tom moved away.
+
+"No, don't touch it!" Tom said. He was afraid that Sam would take it from him.
+
+"Why not?" Sam said. He felt hurt and confused. He thought Tom was his friend, but he was acting weird.
+
+"Because it's mine!" Tom said. He ran away from Sam, too.
+
+Tom ran to the pond, where he saw some ducks. He thought they would like the necklace and how it glowed. He threw some bread to them and then held the necklace near the water.
+
+"Look, ducks, look!" Tom said. He smiled as he saw the ducks swim towards him. He liked how they quacked and splashed.
+
+But then, one of the ducks bit the necklace and pulled it off Tom's neck. The necklace fell into the water and sank to the bottom.
+
+"Hey, no, stop!" Tom said. He tried to reach for the necklace, but it was too deep. He cried as he saw the glow fade away.
+
+Tom felt very sad and sorry. He wished he had shared the necklace with Mia and Sam, instead of being selfish. He realized that the necklace was not as important as his sister and his friend. He ran back to the house, hoping they would forgive him.
+Dan and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big and brown dog. He likes to run and jump and bark.
+
+One day, Dan and Sam find a big piece of beef in the trash. They think it is a good treat for Rex. They take it to the yard and call Rex. Rex comes running and smells the beef. He is very happy and hungry.
+
+"Here, Rex, this is for you!" Dan says and throws the beef to Rex. Rex catches it in his mouth and starts to chew.
+
+"Good boy, Rex!" Sam says and rubs Rex's head. Rex wags his tail and eats the beef.
+
+But the beef is not good. It is old and rotten. It makes Rex sick. Rex starts to feel bad. He stops eating and wags his tail. He lies down and moans. He is restless and in pain.
+
+"Rex, what's wrong?" Dan asks and touches Rex's belly. Rex growls and snaps at Dan. He bites Dan's hand. Dan screams and cries.
+
+"Ow, Rex, why did you do that?" Sam asks and runs to Dan. He sees blood on Dan's hand. He is scared and angry.
+
+"Bad dog, Rex! Bad dog!" Sam shouts and kicks Rex. Rex yelps and runs away.
+
+Dan and Sam are hurt and sad. They don't know what to do. They go inside and tell their mom. Their mom is shocked and worried. She calls the doctor and the vet. She says they have to go to the hospital and the animal shelter.
+
+Dan and Sam don't want to go. They don't want to leave Rex. They love Rex. But they have no choice. They have to go.
+
+They never see Rex again. Rex is too sick and too mean. He has to be put to sleep. He dies.
+
+Dan and Sam are very sorry. They wish they never gave Rex the bad beef. They wish they could have Rex back. They miss Rex. They cry.
+Tom and Lily were young friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a shiny rock that looked like gold. They were very happy and wanted to keep it.
+
+"Look, Lily, we found gold!" Tom said. "We are rich!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, it is so pretty!" Lily said. "How much does it weigh?"
+
+They tried to lift the rock, but it was too heavy for them. They could not move it at all.
+
+"Maybe it is too much gold for us," Tom said. "Maybe we should share it with someone else."
+
+"Who should we share it with?" Lily asked.
+
+They looked around and saw a nice man who was sitting on a bench. He had a big smile and a long beard. He looked like a wizard.
+
+"Maybe he knows about gold," Tom said. "Maybe he can help us."
+
+They walked over to the man and showed him the rock.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the man said. "What do you have there?"
+
+"Hello, sir," Tom said. "We found this gold in the park. Do you know how much it weighs?"
+
+The man took the rock and looked at it closely. He laughed and shook his head.
+
+"This is not gold, my dears," he said. "This is fool's gold. It is a common mineral that looks like gold, but it is not. It is not worth anything."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and confused. They thought they had found something special.
+
+"But it is so shiny and heavy," Lily said. "How can it be not gold?"
+
+The man smiled and handed the rock back to them.
+
+"It is shiny and heavy because it has iron and sulfur in it," he said. "But gold is different. Gold is rare and soft and does not rust. Gold is valuable and beautiful."
+
+He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small coin. He showed it to Tom and Lily.
+
+"This is gold," he said. "See how it glows in the sun? See how it bends in my fingers? This is a real treasure."
+
+He gave the coin to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Here, you can have this," he said. "It is a gift from me. You can buy something nice with it, or save it for later. But remember, gold is not the most important thing in the world. Friendship and kindness are more precious than gold."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and hugged him. They felt happy and grateful. They learned something new that day. They still liked the shiny rock, but they liked the gold coin more. And they liked the nice man the most. They decided to share the coin with their families and friends. They knew they were rich in other ways.
+Lily was a busy girl. She liked to play with her toys, draw with her crayons, and sing with her voice. She had a big heart and a lot of friends. But she did not have a pet.
+
+One day, her mom and dad came home with a surprise. They had a box with holes in it. Lily was curious. She ran to the box and peeked inside. She saw a furry ball with two ears and a tail. It was a kitten!
+
+"Lily, this is your new friend. His name is Milo. He is a gift for you. We want you to take care of him and love him," her mom said.
+
+Lily was so happy. She opened the box and lifted the kitten. He was soft and warm. He purred and licked her cheek. Lily hugged him and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Milo. I am Lily. I am your new friend. I have a big heart and a lot of toys. Do you want to play with me?" she asked.
+
+Milo meowed and nodded. He was happy too. He had a new home and a new friend. He liked Lily's heart and toys.
+
+Lily and Milo played together. They chased each other, rolled on the floor, and cuddled on the couch. They became best friends. Lily introduced Milo to her other friends. They all liked him and petted him. Milo was a busy kitten. He had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily and Milo were very happy. They had each other. They had a big heart. They had a lot of love.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sack under a tree. It is brown and dirty. They are curious.
+
+"What is in the sack?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Let's look," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the sack. They hear a noise. It is a soft and sad noise. They are scared.
+
+"Who is there?" Ben whispers.
+
+"Meow," the noise says.
+
+Lily and Ben open the sack. They see a small cat. It is black and white. It has clear eyes. It looks hungry and cold.
+
+"Hello, cat. Why are you in the sack?" Lily whispers.
+
+"Someone put me here. They don't want me. They are mean," the cat whispers.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry for the cat. They want to help.
+
+"Come with us, cat. We will take you home. We will give you food and water and love. We will be your friends," Lily whispers.
+
+The cat nods. It is happy. It purrs.
+
+Lily and Ben lift the sack. They carry the cat to their house. They show the cat to their mom. She smiles.
+
+"What a cute cat. Where did you find it?" she asks.
+
+"In the park. Someone left it in a sack. Can we keep it?" Lily asks.
+
+"Of course. It needs a home. And a name. What will you call it?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Ben think. They look at the cat. It has clear eyes.
+
+"Clear. We will call it Clear," they say.
+
+"Clear. I like it. Welcome, Clear," their mom says.
+
+Clear meows. It is happy. It has a home and friends. It snuggles with Lily and Ben. They hug it. They whisper to it.
+
+"We love you, Clear. You are our cat."
+Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big box under a tree. They run to the box and open it. Inside, there are many toys and books. They are very happy.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Tim says. "I like this car and this ball. What do you like, Mia?"
+
+Mia picks up a book with a picture of a castle on the cover. "I like this book. It looks like a mystery. Maybe there is a princess or a dragon in it. Can we read it, Tim?"
+
+Tim nods and they kneel on the grass. They open the book and look at the words and pictures. They try to read the story, but some words are too hard for them. They make up their own story with the pictures.
+
+They are so busy reading that they do not notice the dark clouds in the sky. Soon, it starts to rain. The raindrops fall on the book and make it wet. The ink runs and the pictures fade.
+
+"Oh no, our book is ruined!" Mia cries. "It was such a nice book. Now we can't read it anymore."
+
+Tim hugs Mia and tries to cheer her up. "Don't be sad, Mia. We still have the other toys and books in the box. Maybe we can find another mystery book. And we can always use our imagination to make our own stories. Come on, let's go home before we get wet too."
+
+They close the box and carry it to their home. They dry the book with a towel and put it on the shelf. They hope that one day, when they are older, they can read the real story of the castle. But for now, they are happy with their own mystery.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves that dad had made with the rake. They ran to the pile and jumped in. The leaves were soft and crunchy and colorful.
+
+"Look, I'm a leaf monster!" Tom said. He put leaves on his head and arms and growled. Lily laughed and threw more leaves at him.
+
+"Stop, stop, you're tickling me!" Tom said. He chased Lily around the pile and caught her. He gave her a big hug. "You're my leaf sister!"
+
+Lily hugged him back. "You're my leaf brother!"
+
+They heard a loud bark. It was Max, their fat dog. He saw the pile of leaves and wanted to join the fun. He ran to the pile and jumped in. He wagged his tail and licked Tom and Lily's faces.
+
+"Hi, Max!" Tom and Lily said. They hugged Max and petted him. "You're our leaf dog!"
+
+They all played in the pile of leaves until mom called them for lunch. They ran to the house, leaving a trail of leaves behind. They were happy and hungry. They loved fall.
+Lily loved flowers. She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their colors. She had a garden with many flowers. She watered them every day and sang to them.
+
+One day, she saw a new flower in her garden. It was big and pink and had many petals. It looked like a ball. Lily was very happy. She ran to the flower and said, "Hello, flower! You are so pretty! What is your name?"
+
+The flower did not answer. It was shy. It had just bloomed that morning. It did not know how to talk to people. It felt helpless.
+
+Lily did not know that the flower was shy. She thought that the flower was sad. She wanted to make the flower happy. She had an idea. She said, "I know! I will give you a haircut! You have too many petals. They are heavy and hot. If I cut some of them, you will feel better!"
+
+The flower was scared. It did not want a haircut. It liked its petals. They were part of its beauty. It wanted to say, "No, please, don't cut my petals!" But it could not speak.
+
+Lily took her scissors and went to the flower. She was about to cut a petal when she heard a voice. It was her mother. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? Stop! You can't cut the flower's petals! That will hurt the flower and make it die!"
+
+Lily was surprised. She dropped the scissors and looked at her mother. She said, "But, Mommy, I wanted to make the flower happy. It looked sad and helpless. I thought a haircut would help."
+
+Her mother smiled and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you are very kind and sweet. But you don't need to give the flower a haircut. The flower is not sad or helpless. It is shy. It just bloomed today. It needs time to get used to the world. If you want to make the flower happy, you can talk to it, water it, and sing to it. But don't cut its petals. They are its gift to you."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy. I'm sorry, flower. I won't cut your petals. I will be your friend. Will you talk to me?"
+
+The flower felt relieved and grateful. It opened its petals a little and whispered, "Yes, I will talk to you. Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. My name is Peony."
+Lily likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Anna. Anna has long hair and a pink dress. Lily likes to brush Anna's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Lily wants to have a tea party with Anna and her other dolls. She asks her mom for some yogurt and cookies. Her mom says yes, but she has to be careful and not make a mess. Lily says okay and takes the yogurt and cookies to her room.
+
+She kneels on the floor and sets up a small table and chairs for her dolls. She puts a plate of cookies and a bowl of yogurt on the table. She gives each doll a spoon and a cup. She pretends to pour tea and says, "Here you go, Anna. This is your tea. It is very yummy. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She is a playful doll. She likes to make jokes and sing songs. She says, "Thank you, Lily. This is the best tea party ever. You are a very good host. Can I have some yogurt, please?"
+
+Lily says, "Of course, Anna. Here you go. But be careful, yogurt is sticky. Don't spill it on your dress." She scoops some yogurt and gives it to Anna. Anna takes a big bite and says, "Mmm, this is delicious. I love yogurt. It is sweet and creamy."
+
+But then, Anna does something silly. She takes another bite and spits it out. She says, "Oops, I don't like yogurt. It is sour and gooey." She laughs and throws some yogurt at Lily. Lily gasps and says, "Anna, that's not nice. You made a mess. Mom will be mad."
+
+Anna says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. I do like yogurt. It was a playful prank. Don't be mad at me. Let's clean up and have more cookies."
+
+Lily sighs and says, "Okay, Anna. I forgive you. You are my best friend. But no more pranks, okay? Let's have fun and be nice to each other."
+
+They hug and smile. They wipe the yogurt off their faces and clothes. They eat more cookies and finish their tea. They have a wonderful tea party. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They go to the same class. They like to play and learn together. One day, they walk to class with their teacher. They see a big puddle on the road. Lily wants to jump in the puddle. She thinks it is fun. Ben does not want to jump in the puddle. He thinks it is wet and dirty.
+
+Lily says to Ben, "Come on, Ben. Let's jump in the puddle. It is fun. Splash, splash, splash!"
+
+Ben says to Lily, "No, Lily. I don't want to jump in the puddle. It is wet and dirty. We will get our shoes and clothes wet and dirty. Our teacher will be angry. Come on, Lily. Let's walk to class."
+
+But Lily does not listen to Ben. She jumps in the puddle. She splashes water on Ben. Ben gets wet and dirty. He is angry and sad. He says to Lily, "Lily, why did you do that? You made me wet and dirty. You are not a good friend. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Lily sees that Ben is angry and sad. She feels sorry. She says to Ben, "Ben, I am sorry. I did not mean to make you wet and dirty. I just wanted to have fun. You are a good friend. I want to play with you. Please, don't be angry and sad."
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He sees that she is sorry. He says to Lily, "Lily, it is okay. I am not angry and sad anymore. I know you did not mean to make me wet and dirty. You are a good friend. I want to play with you. But next time, please listen to me. Let's walk to class."
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They walk to class with their teacher. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom liked to draw with his crayons. He had many colors and he made pictures of his family, his toys and his pets. He liked to make symbols, like stars and hearts and circles, on his pictures. He thought they looked pretty and fun.
+
+One day, he found a new crayon in his box. It was black and very sharp. He wanted to try it and see what it could do. He took a big paper and started to draw with the black crayon. He made a big symbol that looked like a spider. He liked spiders, they had many legs and eyes and they could make webs.
+
+But when he finished his symbol, he saw something incredible. The black crayon had made a hole in the paper. The spider symbol was not on the paper, it was in the air. Tom could see through the hole and he saw his mom in the kitchen. He was very surprised and scared. He dropped the black crayon and ran to his mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what I did!" he cried. He showed her the paper with the hole and the spider symbol. His mom looked at the paper and then at the black crayon. She saw that it was not a crayon, it was a laser pointer. She had bought it for her work and she had forgotten to put it away.
+
+"Oh, Tom, this is not a crayon, this is a laser pointer. It can make a very bright light that can burn things. It is very dangerous and you should not play with it. I am sorry, I should have kept it out of your reach. Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?" she asked.
+
+Tom shook his head. He was not hurt, but he was still scared. He hugged his mom and said he was sorry. He did not mean to make a hole in the paper. He just wanted to draw a symbol.
+
+His mom hugged him back and said it was okay. She was glad he was safe and she was proud of his drawings. She said they could get a new paper and he could use his other crayons to make more symbols. She said he was a very good and creative boy. She said she loved him very much.
+
+Tom smiled and said he loved her too. He felt better and he wanted to draw again. He picked up his favorite crayon, the blue one, and made a big heart symbol on the new paper. He gave it to his mom and said it was for her. She said it was the most incredible symbol she had ever seen.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also had a bell that they could ring to call their mom or dad.
+
+One day, they decided to explore the landscape behind the garden. They saw hills and fields and flowers. They wanted to see more, so they walked and walked.
+
+"Look, Anna, a river!" Tom said. He pointed to a shiny blue line in the distance.
+
+"Let's go there!" Anna said. She ran after Tom.
+
+But they did not see the fence that marked the end of their land. They crossed it and kept walking.
+
+"Tom, Anna, where are you?" They heard their mom's voice. She was ringing the bell. She sounded worried.
+
+"Uh-oh, we went too far," Tom said. He looked around and saw a big sign that said "Private Property. No Trespassing."
+
+"We should go back," Anna said. She felt scared.
+
+They turned around and ran back to the fence. They saw their mom waiting for them. She looked angry and relieved.
+
+"Tom, Anna, what were you doing?" She asked. "You know you are not supposed to go beyond the fence. That is not our land. You could get in trouble or get hurt."
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Tom and Anna said. "We just wanted to see the river. It was so pretty."
+
+"I know, but you have to be obedient and listen to me. The river is not safe for you. There are rocks and currents and animals. You could fall or drown or get bitten. You have to stay in the garden, where I can see you and protect you."
+
+"Okay, mom," Tom and Anna said. They hugged their mom and said they loved her.
+
+"I love you too, but don't ever do that again," their mom said. She took their hands and led them back to the garden. She gave them a snack and a kiss and told them to play nicely.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded and smiled. They played on the swing and the slide and rang the bell to say hello to their dad. They did not go beyond the fence again. They learned their lesson.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Anna has a fairy costume. Ben has a pirate costume. They want to try each other's costumes.
+
+"Can I lend your fairy costume?" Ben asks Anna. "I want to fly and use magic."
+
+"OK, you can lend it. But be careful. It is my favorite costume." Anna says. "Can I lend your pirate costume? I want to sail and find treasure."
+
+"Sure, you can lend it. But don't lose my hat. It is my best hat." Ben says. They swap their costumes and put them on.
+
+Anna and Ben are eager to play. They run to the garden. Anna pretends to fly with her wings. She sprinkles glitter on the flowers. Ben pretends to sail with his sword. He digs for gold in the sand.
+
+They have a lot of fun. They laugh and sing. They play until it is time to go home.
+
+"Thank you for lending me your fairy costume. It is very pretty." Ben says.
+
+"Thank you for lending me your pirate costume. It is very cool." Anna says. They give back their costumes and hug.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They are good friends. They like to share and play pretend.
+Sara loves her cat, Luna. Luna is black and white and soft. Sara likes to hug Luna and tell her stories. Luna likes to listen and purr.
+
+One day, Sara and Luna go to the park with Sara's mom. Sara sees a big slide and wants to try it. She tells Luna to wait for her. Luna nods and sits on a bench.
+
+Sara climbs the steps and slides down. She feels happy and brave. She wants to slide again. But when she looks for Luna, she can't see her. She feels anxious and scared. Where is Luna?
+
+She runs to the bench, but Luna is not there. She sees a dog barking at a bush. She hears a meow. It is Luna! The dog is trying to catch Luna. Luna is hiding in the bush. She is anxious and scared too.
+
+Sara tells the dog to go away. She says, "Luna is my cat. She is not your toy. Leave her alone!" The dog stops barking and looks at Sara. Sara looks angry and brave. The dog feels sorry and runs away.
+
+Sara goes to the bush and finds Luna. She hugs her and tells her, "It's okay, Luna. I'm here. You are safe." Luna purrs and licks Sara's face. She tells her, "Thank you, Sara. You are my friend. You are brave." Sara and Luna feel happy and calm.
+
+They go back to Sara's mom and tell her what happened. Sara's mom is proud of Sara and Luna. She says, "You are both very brave and smart. I love you both." She hugs them and gives them a treat. Sara and Luna smile and share the treat. They are happy and full.
+Lily was sick. She had a sore throat and a fever. She did not want to eat or play. She only wanted to sleep and cuddle with her teddy bear.
+
+Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor looked at her throat and said she had an infection. He gave her some medicine and a sticker. He told her mom to repeat the medicine every four hours and to drink lots of water.
+
+Lily did not like the medicine. It was bitter and made her face scrunch up. She spat it out and cried. Her mom tried to calm her down and explain that the medicine would make her feel better.
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. "I don't want it! It's yucky!"
+
+A nurse came in and smiled at Lily. She had a pink uniform and a big syringe. She said she had another way to give Lily the medicine. She said it would be quick and painless.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like needles. She hid behind her mom and shook her head. She said she would take the bitter medicine instead.
+
+The nurse nodded and gave her mom a new cup of medicine. She told Lily to repeat after her: "I am brave. I can take the medicine. It will help me get well."
+
+Lily repeated the words with a small voice. She held her nose and drank the medicine. She made a face and stuck out her tongue. The nurse praised her and gave her a hug. She said she was very proud of her.
+
+Lily felt a little better. She thanked the nurse and the doctor. She said she was sorry for being fussy. She hoped she would get well soon and play with her friends again.
+Tom is a bald man who likes to repeat what other people say. He thinks it is funny to copy their words and make them sound silly. One day, he goes to the park with his friend Sue, who has long hair and a red cloth on her head.
+
+"Hello, Sue," Tom says. "Hello, Sue," he repeats in a high voice.
+
+"Stop that, Tom," Sue says. "Stop that, Tom," he repeats in a low voice.
+
+Sue gets angry and walks away. Tom follows her and sees a big dog. The dog barks at Tom and shows its teeth.
+
+"Wow, what a big dog," Tom says. "Wow, what a big dog," he repeats in a loud voice.
+
+The dog does not like Tom's voice and jumps on him. Tom falls down and the dog bites his cloth. The cloth rips and falls off Tom's head.
+
+"Help, help," Tom cries. "Help, help," he repeats in a scared voice.
+
+Sue hears Tom and runs back. She sees the dog and the cloth. She picks up a stick and hits the dog. The dog runs away and leaves Tom alone.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Sue asks. "Are you okay, Tom?" he repeats in a soft voice.
+
+Sue helps Tom get up and gives him her cloth. She wraps it around his head and hugs him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sue," Tom says. "I'm sorry, Sue," he repeats in a sorry voice.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Sue says. "But next time, don't repeat what other people say. It's not nice and it can get you in trouble."
+
+Tom nods and smiles. He learns his lesson and does not repeat what other people say anymore. He and Sue are still friends and they go to the park again. But this time, Tom only repeats what the birds sing. And Sue thinks that is very sweet.
+Lily and Tom were jolly friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big basket full of apples and pears. They decided to share the fruit and have a picnic under a tree.
+
+"Look, Tom, these apples are so red and shiny!" Lily said, picking one from the basket.
+
+"And these pears are so sweet and juicy!" Tom said, biting into one.
+
+They ate and ate until they were full and happy. Then they lay down on the grass and looked at the clouds.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They saw a big bear coming towards them. The bear smelled the fruit and wanted to eat it.
+
+Lily and Tom were very scared. They jumped up and ran away. They forgot to take the basket with them.
+
+"Help, help, a bear!" Lily cried.
+
+"Run, run, fast!" Tom shouted.
+
+The bear reached the basket and saw the fruit. He was very hungry. He ate all the apples and pears. He did not care about Lily and Tom. He was happy with his meal.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the other side of the park. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They hugged them and told them what happened.
+
+"Oh, no, you left the basket!" Mom said.
+
+"We were in panic, Mom, the bear was so big and scary!" Lily said.
+
+"We are sorry, Dad, we did not mean to lose the basket!" Tom said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were not angry. They said they were glad they were safe.
+
+"Next time, be careful where you find a basket. It might belong to someone else. Or to a bear!" Dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They were still jolly friends, but they never took a basket from the park again.
+Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. It said: "Find the hidden eggs and win a prize!"
+
+"Wow, a prize!" Tom said. "Let's find the eggs!"
+
+"OK, let's go!" Mia said. They ran around the park, looking for eggs. They found some eggs under a slide, behind a bench, and in a bush. They put the eggs in a basket.
+
+But the sky was gloomy. It started to rain. Tom and Mia got wet and cold. They wanted to go home.
+
+"Wait, we need one more egg!" Tom said. He saw an egg on a tree. He tried to climb the tree, but he slipped and fell. He hurt his knee. He cried.
+
+"Tom, are you OK?" Mia asked. She ran to him and gave him a hug. "I will help you."
+
+She helped him stand up. She saw a ladder near the tree. She climbed the ladder and got the egg. She gave it to Tom.
+
+"Look, we have all the eggs!" she said. "We can get the prize!"
+
+Tom smiled. He forgot his pain. He thanked Mia for helping him. They went to the sign and showed their eggs. They got a prize. It was a big teddy bear.
+
+They were happy. They shared the teddy bear. They went home together. The rain stopped. The sun came out. It was a good day.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the office. They liked to pretend they were working on the big computer and talking on the phone. They also liked to look at the pictures and books on the shelves.
+
+But they did not see the sign that said "fragile". The sign was on a box that had a glass vase inside. The box was on the floor, next to the desk.
+
+Lily and Sam ran around the office, laughing and chasing each other. They bumped into the box and the vase fell out. It broke into many pieces with a loud crash.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "We broke the vase! It was so pretty and shiny!"
+
+Sam looked at the broken glass and felt scared. "What will Mommy say? She will be very angry! She likes the vase a lot!"
+
+They heard footsteps outside the door. It was Mommy. She was coming back from the kitchen.
+
+"Quick, hide!" Sam said. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran under the desk.
+
+Mommy opened the door and saw the mess. She gasped and said, "Who did this? Who broke my vase?"
+
+Lily and Sam stayed quiet under the desk. They hoped Mommy would not find them. They felt sorry for breaking the vase. They wished they had not played in the office. They wished they had seen the sign that said "fragile".
+Lily and Max liked to play pirates in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a ship. They used sticks as swords and paper as maps. They also had a toy gun that could shoot water.
+
+One day, they decided to sail to a faraway island. They put on their hats and scarves and climbed into the box. Max was the captain and Lily was the first mate. They sang a pirate song as they moved the box around the grass.
+
+"Yo ho ho and a bottle of juice, we are the pirates of the garden, we are the pirates of the garden, yo ho ho and a bottle of juice!"
+
+They saw a big tree that looked like a palm tree. Max said, "Look, Lily, there is the island! Let's go and find the treasure!" He pointed the toy gun at the tree and said, "Bang! Bang! We shoot the bad guys!"
+
+Lily nodded and followed him. They jumped out of the box and ran to the tree. They looked around for clues. They saw a big rock that had a mark on it. Max said, "This is the X that marks the spot! The treasure is under the rock!"
+
+He tried to lift the rock, but it was too heavy. He grunted and pushed, but it did not move. He said, "Lily, help me! We need to get the treasure!"
+
+Lily was impatient. She did not want to help. She wanted to play something else. She said, "Max, this is boring. There is no treasure. It is just a rock. Let's go back to the ship and sail somewhere else."
+
+Max was angry. He did not like that Lily did not believe him. He said, "No, Lily, this is fun. There is treasure. You are a bad pirate. You have to help me!"
+
+They started to argue. They shouted and pulled each other's hair. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the window. She shook her head and sighed. She said, "Oh, those silly pirates. They need to learn to share and be nice. I think it is time for a snack and a nap." She went outside and called them. She said, "Lily, Max, come here. It is time to stop playing and come inside."
+
+Lily and Max stopped fighting. They looked at their mom and smiled. They said, "Okay, mom. We are coming." They dropped their sticks and paper and ran to their mom. They hugged her and said, "We love you, mom. We are sorry for being bad pirates."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily and Max. You are not bad pirates. You are just curious and adventurous. But sometimes you need to listen and cooperate. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. And maybe later, we can read a story about real pirates."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, mom. That sounds good." They followed their mom inside. They left their box and their toy gun in the garden. They did not care about the treasure anymore. They were happy to be with their mom. They were the pirates of the garden.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, trucks, trains and planes that they zoomed around the house. Sometimes they played nicely, but sometimes they fought over who got to use the best toys.
+
+One day, a big storm came and made a lot of noise and wind. Tim and Sam heard their mom say, "There is a tornado coming. We have to go to the basement. Hurry, boys, grab your toys and come with me."
+
+Tim and Sam ran to their room and started to pick up their toys. But they did not agree on which ones to take. Tim wanted to take all the planes, and Sam wanted to take all the trains. They pulled and pushed and yelled at each other.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You can't take all the toys. Just take one or two each. We don't have much time. The tornado is getting closer."
+
+But Tim and Sam did not listen. They kept fighting and grabbing the toys. They did not see that some of the toys were falling and breaking on the floor. They did not hear that the wind was getting louder and louder.
+
+Suddenly, the window shattered and a gust of wind blew into the room. It lifted Tim and Sam and their toys into the air. They screamed and cried as they flew around the room. They saw their mom run to the door and try to catch them.
+
+"Help, mom, help!" they shouted.
+
+"Tim, Sam, hold on!" their mom shouted back.
+
+The wind was too strong and the tornado was too fast. It took Tim and Sam and their toys away from the house and into the sky. They did not know where they were going or what would happen to them.
+
+They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had played nicely. They wished they had been ready.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents, share your toys, and be ready for emergencies.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big stand with many toys. The toys are shiny and colorful. Tom and Sam want to have some toys.
+
+"Mom, can I have a toy?" Tom asks.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Sam says.
+
+Their moms look at the stand. The toys are very expensive. They shake their heads.
+
+"Sorry, boys. We don't have enough money for the toys. Maybe another day," Tom's mom says.
+
+Sam's mom says the same thing. Tom and Sam feel sad. They walk away from the stand.
+
+They see a girl sitting on a bench. She has a doll in her hands. The doll has long hair and a pretty dress. Tom and Sam think the doll is nice.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Tom asks the girl.
+
+"I'm Lily. This is my doll, Anna. She is my best friend," the girl says.
+
+"Can we play with your doll?" Sam asks.
+
+Lily looks at them. She smiles.
+
+"Sure, you can play with Anna. She likes to make new friends. But you have to be gentle with her. She is not tough like a car or a ball. She is soft and sweet," Lily says.
+
+She gives the doll to Tom. Tom holds the doll carefully. He feels her hair and her dress. He gives the doll to Sam. Sam does the same thing. They take turns playing with the doll.
+
+"Thank you for letting us play with your doll. She is very nice," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, thank you. You are very kind," Sam says.
+
+"You're welcome. You are very nice too. Do you want to be my friends?" Lily asks.
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They smile.
+
+"Yes, we want to be your friends," they say.
+
+They hug Lily. They hug the doll. They play together until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to each other. They promise to meet again at the park. They are happy. They have new friends and a new toy.
+Lily and Max were playing with their big red ball in the park. They liked to kick it, throw it and catch it. They had a lot of fun with their ball.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The ball hit a sharp rock and made a loud pop. The ball split in two and the air came out. Lily and Max were very sad. They loved their ball and now it was broken.
+
+"Oh no, our ball!" Lily cried. "What can we do?"
+
+Max thought hard. He had an idea. "We need to find some tape. Maybe we can fix it."
+
+They looked around the park. They saw a man with a bike. He had a bag with some tools and tape. Max ran to him and asked, "Excuse me, sir, can we have some tape? We have an emergency. Our ball split and we need to fix it."
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can have some tape. I'm sorry about your ball. Here you go." He gave them some tape and helped them wrap it around the ball.
+
+Lily and Max thanked him and tried to play with their ball again. It was not the same as before, but it still bounced a little. They were happy that they could save their ball.
+
+They thought the man was very kind and incredible. He helped them with their emergency. They decided to share their ball with him and play together. They had a new friend and a new adventure.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the sandbox. They had a big crane toy that could lift and move sand. They wanted to make a cake with sand and water.
+
+"Let's stir the sand and water in this bucket," Ben said. "Then we can put it in the cake pan."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But we need more water. The sand is too dry."
+
+Ben used the crane to scoop some water from the nearby puddle. He poured it into the bucket. Lily stirred the sand and water with a stick.
+
+"Look, it's like mud now," Lily said. "It's sticky and wet."
+
+"Good," Ben said. "Now we can fill the cake pan. Use the crane to lift the bucket."
+
+Lily grabbed the crane and lifted the bucket. She tried to move it over the cake pan, but it was too heavy. The bucket tipped over and spilled the sand and water all over the sandbox.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said. "Our cake is ruined!"
+
+They looked at the mess they made. They felt sad and angry.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I didn't mean to drop the bucket."
+
+"It's OK, Lily," Ben said. "It was an accident. Maybe we can try again later."
+
+They hugged each other and decided to play with something else. They saw a clear blue ball in the corner of the sandbox. They ran to get it and started to bounce it and roll it. They forgot about the cake and had fun with the ball.
+Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play in the backyard. They had a big tree with a wooden house on top. Sam and Ben wanted to climb the tree and go inside the house, but there was a problem. The ladder to the house was broken. One of the screws that held the ladder was loose and fell off. The ladder was not safe to climb.
+
+Sam had an idea. He ran to the garage and found a screwdriver. He said to Ben, "I can fix the ladder with this. I just need to find a screw that fits." Ben nodded and followed Sam. They looked around the garage for a screw, but they could not find one. They saw a lot of other things, like a hammer, a saw, a bike, and a ball, but no screw.
+
+Then, Sam saw something shiny on the floor. It was a screw! He picked it up and ran to the ladder. He put the screw in the hole where the old one fell out. He used the screwdriver to turn the screw until it was tight. He said to Ben, "There, I fixed it. Now we can climb the ladder and go to the house." Ben smiled and said, "You are very smart, Sam. That was impressive."
+
+Sam and Ben climbed the ladder carefully. They reached the top and opened the door to the house. They saw a lot of toys and books inside. They were very happy. They played and read and had fun. They forgot about the broken ladder and the loose screw. They only remembered how Sam fixed it with his idea and his screwdriver. They thought he was the best brother ever.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big red ball that they kicked and threw on the street. One day, a mean dog came out of a house and ran after them. The dog was big and black and had sharp teeth. It wanted to chew their ball and maybe their legs too.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared and ran away. They tried to find a safe place to hide. They saw a park across the street. There were swings and slides and a sandbox. They thought the dog would not follow them there. They ran as fast as they could and crossed the street.
+
+But they did not look both ways. They did not see the car that was coming. The car was blue and shiny and had a loud horn. The driver saw the twins and tried to stop. He honked his horn to warn them. But it was too late. The car hit the ball and made it fly in the air. The ball landed on the roof of a house and popped. Sara and Ben stopped and cried. They had lost their ball and their fun.
+
+The dog saw what happened and felt sorry. It did not want to chew their ball anymore. It wanted to be their friend. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. It made them laugh and forget their tears. Sara and Ben petted the dog and gave it a hug. They asked the driver if he was okay. He was okay. He was not angry. He was mild and kind. He said he was sorry for their ball and gave them a new one. It was green and soft and had a smiley face. Sara and Ben thanked him and smiled too.
+
+They played with the dog and the new ball in the park. They had fun and were happy. They learned to be careful on the street and to look both ways. They also learned that sometimes a mean dog can be a nice dog. And sometimes a bad day can be a good day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. Lily wanted to touch it, but Ben was nervous.
+
+"Don't disturb it, Lily. It might bite you or be angry," Ben said.
+
+Lily laughed. "It won't bite me, Ben. It is just a caterpillar. It is soft and fuzzy. Look, it has many legs and a funny face."
+
+She reached out her hand to touch the caterpillar. But the caterpillar did not like that. It curled up into a ball and dropped to the ground.
+
+Lily and Ben gasped. They thought they had hurt the caterpillar. They felt sorry and scared.
+
+"Are you okay, caterpillar?" Lily asked. "We are sorry. We did not mean to disturb you. We just wanted to say hello."
+
+They waited for the caterpillar to move. But it did not move. It stayed in a ball.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They thought the caterpillar was dead. They started to cry.
+
+But then, something amazing happened. The caterpillar started to wiggle. It broke out of its ball. It was not a caterpillar anymore. It was a beautiful butterfly. It had wings of many colors. It fluttered in the air.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped crying. They smiled. They clapped their hands.
+
+"Wow, caterpillar! You are not dead. You are a butterfly. You are so pretty. You are a magic bug," Lily said.
+
+The butterfly flew around them. It landed on Lily's nose. It tickled her. She giggled.
+
+The butterfly flew away. It waved its wings at them. It said goodbye.
+
+Lily and Ben waved back. They were happy. They learned something new. They did not disturb the caterpillar. They helped it become a butterfly.

+They look at the sack. It is dirty and torn. There are holes and stains on it. There are flies and ants on it.
+
+"Maybe someone threw away the sack and the toys," Tim says.
+
+"Maybe they are old and broken," Kim says.
+
+They feel sad. They like the toys, but they don't like the smelly sack.
+
+"Let's go home, Tim," Kim says.
+
+"OK, Kim," Tim says.
+
+They leave the sack and the toys under the tree. They hold hands and walk back to their mom. They tell her what they found in the park. She hugs them and says they are good kids. She gives them a snack and a drink. They forget about the smelly sack and the toys. They are happy again.
