Then they went back to the garden and played some more. They left the pumpkin alone. They knew it was not a melon. +Tim and Sue are playing in the yard. They see a big pile of junk near the fence. It has old toys, clothes, cans and boxes. + +"Let's go and touch the junk!" Tim says. He runs to the pile and picks up a broken car. + +"No, Tim, don't touch the junk!" Sue says. She follows him and tries to stop him. "The junk is dirty and icky. It can hurt you or make you sick." + +"But I want to touch the junk!" Tim says. He puts the car down and grabs a ripped teddy bear. "Look, Sue, a bear! It is soft and cute." + +Sue shakes her head. She sees a big sign on the fence that says "Do not touch the junk. It is dangerous." She points to the sign and says "Tim, can you read this? It says no touch the junk. It is bad." + +Tim looks at the sign. He does not know the words, but he sees a picture of a skull and crossbones. He knows that means something is very bad. He drops the bear and backs away from the pile. + +"Sorry, Sue, I did not see the sign. I did not know the junk was bad." He says. He feels scared and sorry. + +"It's okay, Tim, I forgive you. But we should not touch the junk anymore. Let's go and play with our own toys. They are clean and safe." Sue says. She takes Tim's hand and leads him to their sandbox. + +"Okay, Sue, let's go and play with our toys. I have a new truck and you have a new doll. We can share and have fun." Tim says. He smiles and follows Sue. + +They leave the junk behind and go to their sandbox. They are ready to play and have fun. They are happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to travel. They had a big map on the wall and they put stickers on the places they wanted to go. One day, they saw a picture of a castle in a book and they decided to go there. + +They packed their bags and took a bus to the train station. They found a train that said "Castle" on the sign and they got on. They were very excited and looked out the window. They saw trees, fields, cows and sheep. + +On the train, they met a person who was very charming. He had a big smile and a funny hat. He said his name was Mr. Fox and he was going to the castle too. He asked them if they wanted to play a game with him. They said yes and he took out a deck of cards. + +Mr. Fox said the game was very easy. He would show them a card and they had to guess if the next card was higher or lower. If they guessed right, they would get a candy. If they guessed wrong, they would have to give him something from their bags. + +Lily and Ben liked candy and they thought they were good at guessing. They played the game with Mr. Fox and at first they won some candy. But then they started to lose and they had to give him their stickers, their books, their hats and their scarves. They still wanted to play because they hoped they would win back their things. + +But they never did. Mr. Fox was very clever and he always knew what card was next. He took everything from Lily and Ben until they had nothing left. Then he said he was sorry but he had to go. He got off the train at the next stop and ran away with their bags. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They had no candy, no things and no tickets. They could not go to the castle and they could not go back home. They cried and cried and wished they had never met Mr. Fox. He was not charming at all. He was a bad person who tricked them. They learned a hard lesson that day. They should not trust strangers and they should not gamble. +Sara and Lily are sisters. They like to play with their mom's jewelry. They have a big box with many shiny things. Sara likes the rings and Lily likes the necklaces. + +One day, they find a new necklace in the box. It is very pretty and has many colors. Sara and Lily both want the necklace. They start to pull it from each other. + +"Give me the necklace!" Sara says. "No, it is mine!" Lily says. They pull harder and harder. The necklace breaks and the beads fall on the floor. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken necklace and the beads. She is very angry. She says to Sara and Lily: "What did you do? This was my special necklace. It was a gift from grandma. You are very naughty. You have to say sorry and help me pick up the beads." + +Sara and Lily feel bad. They say sorry to mom and to each other. They help mom pick up the beads. They hug and say they will not fight over jewelry again. Mom says she loves them and forgives them. She says they can play with some of the jewelry, but not the special ones. She says they can make their own necklaces with some beads and strings. Sara and Lily are happy. They say thank you to mom and start to make their own jewelry. +Lily was a little bird who lived in a big tree. She liked to sing and fly with her friends. One day, a bad storm came and shook the tree. Lily was scared and tried to hold on to her nest, but the wind was too strong. She fell out of the tree and landed on the ground. + +Lily felt a lot of pain in her wing. She looked and saw that it was broken. She could not fly anymore. She was very sad and afraid. She saw a big cat coming near her. The cat had sharp teeth and claws. It wanted to eat Lily. Lily was helpless. She could not run or hide. + +Lily closed her eyes and waited for the cat to hurt her. She suffered a lot. But then, she heard a loud bark. She opened her eyes and saw a big dog chasing the cat away. The dog was friendly and kind. It came to Lily and licked her wing. It saw that Lily was hurt and needed help. + +The dog picked up Lily gently in its mouth and carried her to its home. There, it gave Lily some water and food. It also found a twig and wrapped it around Lily's wing to make it heal. The dog was very smart and good. It stayed with Lily and kept her warm and safe. + +Lily was very grateful to the dog. She thanked the dog and told it her name. The dog told Lily its name was Max. They became friends and talked a lot. Lily felt better and happier. She hoped that one day, she could fly again and see her friends in the tree. But until then, she was glad to have Max as her friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a huge caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy and had many legs. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It is so big and pretty. I want to touch it." + +"Be careful, Lily," Tom said. "It might bite you or fall off the leaf. Then it will be hurt." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She reached out her hand and touched the caterpillar. But the caterpillar did not like it. It wiggled and squirmed and tried to get away. Then it fell off the leaf and landed on the ground. + +"Ouch!" the caterpillar said. "That hurt. Why did you do that? I was just eating my leaf." + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt the caterpillar. She picked it up gently and put it back on the leaf. + +"I'm sorry, caterpillar," she said. "I just wanted to see you. You are so big and pretty. I did not know you would fall." + +"It's okay, Lily," the caterpillar said. "But please don't touch me again. I need to eat my leaf and make a cocoon. Then I will become a butterfly and fly away." + +Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to respect the caterpillar and let it do its thing. They watched it eat its leaf and make a cocoon. They waited for it to become a butterfly. They were happy when they saw it fly away. They waved goodbye and said thank you. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their big ball in the park. They would bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they would bounce the ball very high and see who could catch it first. They were very competitive. + +One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a crown on her head and a dress with flowers. She was holding a small ball that sparkled. She looked like a queen. + +"Hello, I'm Anna," the new girl said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They liked to make new friends. They went to Anna and looked at her ball. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"It's a magic ball," Anna said. "It can do anything I want. Watch this." She threw the ball in the air and said, "Ball, turn into a butterfly." The ball changed into a beautiful butterfly that flew around them. + +"Wow, that's amazing," Max said. + +"Can we try?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but you have to be careful," Anna said. "The ball only listens to me. If you say something wrong, it might do something bad." + +Lily and Max took turns to throw the ball and say what they wanted it to do. They had fun making the ball turn into different things, like a star, a fish, and a rainbow. + +But then, Max got greedy. He wanted to show off and make the ball do something big and impressive. He threw the ball very high and said, "Ball, turn into a dragon." + +The ball did not turn into a dragon. It turned into a huge, angry monster that roared and chased them. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Max screamed. They ran away from the monster, but it was faster than them. + +"Anna, do something!" Lily cried. + +Anna was scared, but she knew what to do. She ran after the ball and shouted, "Ball, turn back into a ball. Now!" + +The ball obeyed. It turned back into a small, sparkly ball and fell to the ground. The monster was gone. + +Lily and Max hugged Anna and thanked her. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Max said. "I was silly. I should have listened to you." + +"It's okay, Max," Anna said. "But next time, be more careful. The ball is not a toy. It's a magic ball." + +Lily and Max nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their big ball instead. They bounced the ball to each other and caught it. They were still competitive, but they were also friendly. And they were happy to have a new friend, the queen of the magic ball. +Lily and Max were very hungry. They smelled something good in the kitchen. It was spaghetti! Their mom was making spaghetti for dinner. + +"Mom, can we have spaghetti now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. I have to cook the sauce and boil the water. It will be ready soon," Mom said. + +Lily and Max waited and waited. They played with their toys, but they still wanted spaghetti. They heard the timer beep in the kitchen. + +"Spaghetti is ready!" Mom called. + +Lily and Max dropped their toys and ran to the kitchen. They wanted to hurry and eat. They saw Mom put the spaghetti on a big plate and the sauce in a bowl. + +"Be careful, it's hot," Mom warned. + +Lily and Max sat down at the table. They grabbed their forks and spoons. They scooped some spaghetti and sauce on their plates. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" they said. + +They ate and ate. They liked spaghetti a lot. They made happy noises and messy faces. + +"Thank you, Mom, for the spaghetti," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom," Max said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you enjoyed it," Mom said. + +She smiled and gave them a napkin. She helped them wipe their mouths and hands. + +"Can we have more spaghetti?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, there's plenty. But don't forget to leave some room for dessert. I have a surprise for you," Mom said. + +She opened the fridge and took out a cake. It had candles and sprinkles on it. + +"Wow, a cake!" Lily and Max exclaimed. + +"It's a special cake. Do you know why?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They thought hard. + +"Is it someone's birthday?" Lily guessed. + +"Yes, it is. It's your birthday, Lily!" Mom said. + +She put the cake on the table and lit the candles. + +"Happy birthday, Lily!" Mom and Max sang. + +Lily was very happy. She didn't know it was her birthday. She felt special and loved. + +She blew out the candles and made a wish. She wished for more spaghetti and more fun with Mom and Max. + +They all ate the cake and laughed. It was a good day. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have a club for block lovers. They meet every day after lunch to play with blocks. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to make the tallest tower ever. They use all the blocks they have, but the tower is not tall enough. They look around for more blocks, but they cannot find any. + +"Maybe we can ask the other kids to share their blocks with us," Lily says. + +"Good idea," Ben says. "Let's go and ask them nicely." + +They go to the other kids who are playing with dolls and cars and books. They ask them if they can borrow some blocks for their tower. + +"Sorry, we need our blocks for our own games," the other kids say. "We are not in your club." + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They go back to their tower and try to make it taller with what they have, but it still falls down. + +Then they see Sam, a new kid in the class. Sam has a big bag of blocks. He is sitting by himself, looking shy. + +"Hi, Sam," Lily says. "We are Lily and Ben. We like to play with blocks. Do you want to join our club?" + +Sam smiles. He nods. He opens his bag and shows them his blocks. He has many different colors and shapes of blocks. + +"Wow, your blocks are awesome," Ben says. "Can we use some of them for our tower?" + +"Sure, you can," Sam says. "I have too many blocks for myself. I want to share them with you." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They thank Sam and invite him to play with them. They use Sam's blocks to improve their tower. They make it taller and stronger and prettier than ever. + +They have fun playing with blocks and making new friends. They are proud of their tower and their club. They are the best block lovers in the class. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a charming dog with brown fur and a wagging tail. The dog was friendly and licked their hands. + +"Can we pet him?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, he is nice," Tom said. + +They stroked the dog's ears and back. The dog was happy and barked. But then he saw a squirrel on a tree. He wanted to chase it. He ran away from Lily and Tom and towards the squirrel. + +"Come back, doggy!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +But the dog did not listen. He was too excited. He jumped and tried to bite the squirrel. But the squirrel was fast and clever. It climbed higher and higher on the tree. The dog could not reach it. He was angry and frustrated. + +He looked around and saw Lily and Tom. They were still calling him. He thought they were teasing him. He did not like that. He ran back to them and growled. He showed his teeth and bit Tom's leg. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. + +Lily was scared and shocked. She did not know what to do. She saw a man running towards them. He was the dog's owner. He had a leash in his hand. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" he shouted. He grabbed the dog and pulled him away from Tom. He apologized to Lily and Tom. He said he was sorry and that the dog was not usually like that. He said he would take him to the vet and train him better. + +Lily and Tom were hurt and sad. They did not want to play with the dog anymore. They wanted to go home. They hugged each other and walked to their mom. She was sitting on a bench. She saw their tears and their wounds. She was worried and angry. + +"What happened?" she asked. + +They told her about the charming dog and the squirrel and the bite. She felt sorry for them and hugged them. She said they were brave and good. She said she would take them to the doctor and give them ice cream. She said they would be okay. + +Lily and Tom felt a little better. They learned a lesson. They learned that not all dogs are nice and that they should be careful. They learned that sometimes things are not what they seem. They learned that they had each other and their mom. They learned that they were loved. +Lily and Ben were very excited to go to the stadium with their dad. They wanted to see the big game and cheer for their team. Dad said they had to be good and stay close to him. + +When they got to the stadium, they saw many people and cars. Lily and Ben held dad's hand and followed him to the gate. They showed their tickets and went inside. The stadium was very big and loud. Lily and Ben looked around and saw the green field, the bright lights and the colorful flags. + +Dad found their seats and sat down. He gave Lily and Ben some popcorn and juice. He told them to enjoy the game and not to wander off. Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They watched the players run and kick the ball. They clapped and shouted when their team scored a goal. + +Lily and Ben were having fun, but they also wanted to explore the stadium. They saw a big screen, a souvenir shop and a playground. They thought dad would not mind if they went to see them for a little while. They waited until dad was busy talking to another man. Then they got up and sneaked away. + +Lily and Ben ran around the stadium, looking at everything. They forgot about the game and the time. They did not see the signs that said "Do not enter" or "Danger". They did not hear the sirens or the announcements. They did not notice the smoke or the fire. + +They only realized something was wrong when they saw a big explosion. They turned around and saw the field in flames. They heard people scream and run. They felt the heat and the shock. They were scared and lost. + +They tried to find dad, but they could not. They tried to call him, but they could not. They tried to help, but they could not. They were trapped and alone. + +They wished they had listened to dad. They wished they had stayed with him. They wished they had not been so curious and naughty. They were ashamed and sorry. + +But it was too late. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a cap on its head. The cap had a star and some letters on it. + +"Look, a dog with a cap!" Tom said. "Let's go and pet it. It looks harmless." + +Lily was not sure. She was afraid of dogs. She said, "No, Tom, we don't know the dog. Maybe it is not nice. Maybe it will bite us." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "Don't be silly, Lily. The dog is wearing a cap. That means it is friendly. I believe it will like us. Come on, let's go." + +Tom ran towards the dog. Lily followed him, but she was still scared. The dog saw them and barked. It did not like strangers. It did not like children. It did not like its cap. It was a guard dog. It was trained to protect its owner. + +The dog jumped on Tom and bit his arm. Tom screamed and cried. Lily screamed and cried too. The owner of the dog heard the noise and came out of his house. He saw the dog and the children. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing here? Get away from my dog! You are trespassing on my property! You are lucky I don't call the police!" + +He took the dog and the cap and went back to his house. He slammed the door. Tom and Lily were left alone in the park. They were hurt and scared. They wished they had not gone near the dog. They wished they had listened to Lily. They learned a hard lesson. They never played in the park again. +Anna and Ben were playing with a puzzle. They liked puzzles very much. They had many pieces of different colors and shapes. They tried to fit them together to make a picture. + +"Look, Anna, I found the piece for the sun!" Ben said, holding a yellow piece. + +"Good job, Ben! Where does it go?" Anna asked, looking at the puzzle. + +"Here, next to the blue sky!" Ben said, and put the piece in the right place. + +They smiled and clapped their hands. They were almost done with the puzzle. They only needed one more piece. It was a green piece for the grass. + +"Where is the green piece, Anna?" Ben asked, looking around. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is under the table?" Anna said, and crawled under the table. + +She looked for the green piece, but she could not find it. She only saw some dust and a spider. + +"Did you find it, Anna?" Ben asked, waiting for her. + +"No, Ben. I can't see it. It is not here." Anna said, and came out from under the table. + +They looked everywhere for the green piece, but they could not find it. It seemed to disappear. + +They were sad and confused. They wanted to finish the puzzle. + +"Maybe someone took it, Anna." Ben said, frowning. + +"Who would do that, Ben? That is not nice." Anna said, shaking her head. + +"Maybe it was Max, the cat. He likes to play with things." Ben said, pointing at the cat. + +They looked at Max, who was sleeping on the sofa. He looked innocent and cute. + +"Maybe he did, Ben. But he did not mean to. He is a good cat." Anna said, and went to pet him. + +Max opened his eyes and purred. He licked Anna's hand. + +"Maybe he is sorry, Anna. Maybe he will give it back to us." Ben said, and joined her. + +They hugged Max and hoped he would be generous. They still wanted to finish the puzzle. +Lily and Tom went to the lake with Dad. They wanted to catch some fish. Dad gave them a rod and a hook. He showed them how to put a worm on the hook. + +"Be calm and quiet," Dad said. "Or the fish will swim away." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They threw the hook into the water. They waited and watched. Lily saw a fish nibble on her worm. She felt a tug on her rod. + +"I got one!" she shouted. She pulled hard on her rod. The fish jumped out of the water. It was big and shiny. + +"Wow, Lily, good job!" Tom said. He clapped his hands. + +"Careful, Lily, don't let it go!" Dad said. He helped Lily bring the fish to the shore. He took the hook out of the fish's mouth. He put the fish in a bucket. + +"Can I keep it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can," Dad said. "But we have to share it with Tom and Mom." + +"Okay," Lily said. She smiled. She was proud of her fish. She hugged Dad and Tom. They hugged her back. + +They had a fun day at the lake. They caught some more fish. They ate them for dinner. They were yummy. Lily and Tom thanked Dad for taking them to the lake. They said they wanted to go again. Dad said they would. He kissed them good night. They slept well. They dreamed of fish. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a white doll with a pink dress and Tom had a red car with black wheels. They were having fun making noises and stories with their toys. + +But then Tom saw a candle on the table. It had a yellow flame that was burning. Tom was curious and wanted to touch it. He left his car and walked to the table. He reached out his hand to the candle. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily shouted. She saw what Tom was doing and was scared. She knew that the candle was hot and could hurt Tom. She ran to the table and tried to pull Tom away. + +But it was too late. Tom touched the flame and felt a sharp pain. He screamed and dropped the candle. The candle fell on the floor and set the rug on fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger and made a lot of smoke. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Tom cried. They were afraid and didn't know what to do. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw their mom and dad outside. They were fine. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +Mom and dad were angry and worried. They called the firemen and they came with a big truck. They used water to put out the fire and made sure everyone was safe. They told Lily and Tom that they should never play with candles or fire. They said that fire can burn and hurt people and things. + +Lily and Tom were sorry and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and promised to be careful. They hugged their mom and dad and thanked the firemen. They were glad that they were fine and that their toys were not burned. They went to their room and played with their toys again. They were happy. +Tom and Sue were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and pretend they were on a different planet. They had a big box that they painted with stars and planets. They called it their spaceship. + +One day, they were playing in the spaceship when Tom said, "I want to be the captain. You be the co-pilot." Sue said, "No, I want to be the captain too. It's my turn." Tom said, "No, it's not. I'm always the captain. You have to do what I say." Sue said, "That's not fair. You're bossy. I don't want to play with you anymore." She got out of the box and ran away. + +Tom was upset. He liked Sue, but he also liked to be the captain. He didn't know what to do. He sat in the box and felt sad. He looked at the stars and planets and wished he had a real friend to go with him. + +After a while, Sue came back. She was upset too. She missed Tom, but she also wanted to be the captain sometimes. She saw Tom in the box and felt sorry. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry. I don't want to quit playing with you. You're my best friend. Can we share the captain role?" + +Tom looked at Sue and smiled. He said, "Sue, I'm sorry too. I don't want to quit playing with you either. You're my best friend too. Yes, we can share the captain role. How about we take turns?" + +Sue nodded and hugged Tom. They got back in the box and pretended they were on a different planet. They had fun and played nicely. They were happy again. +Ben and Lily were playing near the sea. They liked to run on the sand and look for shells. They saw a big rock that was high and had a flat top. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go up there!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find some treasure!" + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. "It looks like a cliff. We don't want to fall off." + +They held hands and walked to the rock. They found a path that was not too steep and started to climb. They had to go around some bushes and stones. They felt the wind blow in their hair and heard the waves crash below. + +They reached the top and looked around. They saw more sand, more rocks, and more water. They also saw a big bird with white feathers and a yellow beak. It was sitting on a nest that was made of sticks and grass. The nest had two eggs that were blue and speckled. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It's a seagull! And it has babies!" + +"Shh, don't scare it," Ben said. "Maybe we can get closer and see the eggs." + +They took a few steps towards the nest. The seagull saw them and made a loud noise. It flapped its wings and opened its mouth. It looked angry and scared. + +"Go away! Go away!" the seagull said. "This is my home! You can't touch my eggs!" + +Ben and Lily stopped and felt sorry. They did not want to make the seagull worry. They knew how it felt to love something and want to protect it. + +"Sorry, seagull," Lily said. "We didn't mean to bother you. We just wanted to look." + +"Sorry, seagull," Ben said. "We won't come any closer. We'll leave you alone." + +They turned around and walked back to the path. They climbed down the rock and ran to the sand. They decided to play somewhere else and let the seagull have its peace. + +They learned that some things are better to see from far away. They also learned that some things are too thick to break, like the bond between a mother and her babies. +Sara likes to eat cauliflower. She thinks it is white and soft and yummy. She likes to dip it in cheese sauce and make funny noises. She does not like to eat meat or beans or carrots. She says they are yucky and hard and bitter. + +One day, Sara's mom makes a big pot of soup for dinner. She puts meat and beans and carrots and other things in the soup. She also puts some cauliflower, but not much. She tells Sara to try the soup and eat everything. She says it is good for her and will make her strong and healthy. + +Sara does not want to try the soup. She only wants to eat cauliflower. She looks at her bowl and sees only one little piece of cauliflower. She picks it up with her spoon and puts it in her mouth. She says, "Mmm, cauliflower!" She does not want to eat anything else. + +Sara's mom is not happy. She says, "Sara, you have to eat more than just cauliflower. You have to eat some meat and beans and carrots too. They have protein and vitamins and fiber. They are good for you. Please try the soup." + +Sara shakes her head. She says, "No, no, no. I only like cauliflower. I want more cauliflower. Please give me more cauliflower." She pushes her bowl away and holds her spoon. She says, "Cauliflower, cauliflower, cauliflower!" + +Sara's mom sighs. She says, "Sara, you are being very stubborn and picky. You have to eat a balanced diet. You can't just eat cauliflower all the time. You will miss out on other foods and flavors. You will get bored and sick. You have to try new things and be adventurous. You have to eat the soup." + +Sara does not listen. She says, "No, no, no. I only want cauliflower. I don't like new things. I don't like soup. I like cauliflower. Cauliflower is my favorite. I want to stay with cauliflower. Cauliflower, cauliflower, cauliflower!" + +Sara's mom gives up. She says, "Fine, Sara. If you only want to eat cauliflower, then you can only eat cauliflower. But you will not get any dessert or snacks or treats. You will only get cauliflower for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will only get cauliflower for every meal. You will only get cauliflower for the rest of your life. Is that what you want?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "Yes, yes, yes. I want cauliflower for the rest of my life. I love cauliflower. Cauliflower is the best. Cauliflower, cauliflower, cauliflower!" + +Sara's mom shakes her head. She says, "Okay, Sara. You can have cauliflower for the rest of your life. But don't come crying to me when you get tired of it and want something else. You made your choice. You have to live with it. Good luck with your cauliflower." + +Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I am happy with my cauliflower. Cauliflower, cauliflower, cauliflower!" She hugs her spoon and her little piece of cauliflower. She does not know what she is missing. She does not care. She only cares about cauliflower. She stays with cauliflower. She is the cauliflower girl. +Sara and Tom were playing with their wagon in the yard. They liked to act like they were going on a big adventure. Sara was the driver and Tom was the passenger. + +"Where are we going, Sara?" Tom asked. + +"We are going to the park, Tom. We will see the ducks and the swings and the slide," Sara said. + +They pulled the wagon along the sidewalk, making vroom-vroom noises. They saw a big dog on the way. The dog barked at them and ran towards them. + +"Uh-oh, Sara. The dog is angry. What do we do?" Tom said. + +Sara was not afraid of the dog. She knew the dog was just playing. She stopped the wagon and smiled at the dog. + +"Hi, dog. Do you want to be our friend? You can come with us to the park," Sara said. + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Sara's face. Sara giggled and petted the dog. + +"See, Tom. The dog is not angry. He is nice. He just wanted to say hello," Sara said. + +Tom was still scared of the dog. He thought the dog was big and loud and mean. He did not want to pet the dog. He hid behind Sara. + +"No, Sara. The dog is bad. He wants to bite us. Let's go away," Tom said. + +Sara shook her head. She thought Tom was ignorant. He did not know anything about dogs. She wanted to teach Tom that dogs were fun and friendly. + +"Tom, you are silly. The dog is good. He will not bite us. He will play with us. Come on, Tom. Don't be ignorant. Be brave," Sara said. + +She took Tom's hand and pulled him out of the wagon. She gave him a dog biscuit and showed him how to feed the dog. The dog took the biscuit gently and wagged its tail again. + +"Wow, Sara. You are right. The dog is good. He likes the biscuit. He likes us. He is our friend," Tom said. + +Sara smiled and hugged Tom. She was happy that Tom learned something new. She was proud of herself for being a good driver and a good teacher. + +"Come on, Tom. Let's go to the park with our new friend. We will have more fun there," Sara said. + +They got back in the wagon and pulled the dog along. They made vroom-vroom noises again. They went to the park and saw the ducks and the swings and the slide. They had a great adventure. +Lila and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a fat fox hiding behind a bush. The fox had a big tail and small eyes. Lila and Ben wanted to pet the fox. + +"Come here, fox," Lila said. "We are nice. We want to be your friends." + +But the fox was scared. He did not like people. He ran away from Lila and Ben. He tried to squeeze through a hole in the fence. But he was too fat. He got stuck in the hole. + +"Help, help," the fox cried. "I am stuck. I cannot move." + +Lila and Ben heard the fox. They ran to the fence. They saw the fox's head and tail on both sides of the hole. + +"Are you okay, fox?" Ben asked. "Do you need help?" + +"Yes, please," the fox said. "Can you pull me out?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They grabbed the fox's tail and pulled. The fox felt a lot of pain. He yelped and whimpered. + +"Ow, ow, ow," the fox said. "You are hurting me. Stop pulling." + +"Sorry, fox," Lila said. "But you are too fat. You need to lose some weight." + +The fox felt ashamed. He knew he ate too much. He wished he was thinner. + +"Maybe you can push me from the other side," the fox said. + +"Okay," Ben said. He ran to the other side of the fence. He pushed the fox's head. The fox felt more pain. He groaned and moaned. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch," the fox said. "You are hurting me. Stop pushing." + +"Sorry, fox," Ben said. "But you are too fat. You need to exercise more." + +The fox felt angry. He did not like being pushed and pulled. He wished he was free. + +"Maybe you can dig a bigger hole," the fox said. + +"Okay," Lila said. She ran to get a shovel. She dug a bigger hole in the fence. The fox felt some relief. He wiggled and wriggled. + +"Ah, ah, ah," the fox said. "You are helping me. Keep digging." + +"Okay, fox," Lila said. She dug and dug. She made the hole big enough for the fox to squeeze through. The fox felt happy. He thanked Lila and Ben. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you," the fox said. "You are kind. You are my friends." + +"You are welcome, fox," Lila and Ben said. "We are glad you are okay." + +The fox smiled. He waved his tail. He ran away from Lila and Ben. He decided to eat less and run more. He wanted to be healthy and fit. He wanted to see Lila and Ben again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would question each other, like "Can you kick it high?" or "Can you catch it with your hands?" + +One day, it was very hot outside. The sun was bright and the air was warm. Lily and Tom felt thirsty and tired. They decided to go to the water fountain and drink some water. They left their ball on the grass and walked to the fountain. + +But when they came back, their ball was gone. They looked around and saw a big dog with their ball in its mouth. The dog was running away with the ball. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They shouted at the dog, "Hey, that's our ball! Give it back!" + +The dog did not listen. It kept running with the ball. Lily and Tom ran after the dog, but they could not catch it. The dog was faster and smarter. It ran into the woods and disappeared. + +Lily and Tom stopped and cried. They had lost their ball. They wished they had been more alert and watched their ball. They learned a lesson that day. They should not leave their things alone in the park. They should always keep an eye on them. Maybe then they would not lose them to a big dog. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird has many colors and a long tail. It is an unusual bird. + +"Hello, hello!" the bird says. Anna and Ben are surprised. The bird can speak! + +"Who are you?" Anna asks. + +"I am Polly. I am a parrot. I like to speak and sing," the bird says. + +"Wow, you are amazing!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, thank you. Do you have a snack for me?" the bird asks. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They have some crackers and grapes in their backpacks. They want to share with the bird, but they are also hungry. + +"Sorry, Polly. We only have a little snack. We need it for ourselves," Anna says. + +"Please, please. Just one cracker. Just one grape. I am very hungry," the bird says. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for the bird. They decide to give the bird one cracker and one grape. They hope the bird will be happy. + +"Thank you, thank you. You are very kind," the bird says. He eats the cracker and the grape. He makes a happy sound. + +"You are welcome, Polly. We are glad you like it," Ben says. + +"Can we be friends?" Anna asks. + +"Of course, of course. You are my friends. I will come back to see you," the bird says. + +"Bye, Polly. See you soon," Anna and Ben say. + +They wave to the bird. The bird flies away. Anna and Ben smile. They have a new friend. They eat the rest of their snack. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with stamps. They had many stamps with animals and flowers and cars. They put stamps on paper and made pictures. + +One day, Lily saw a new stamp. It was big and shiny and had a dragon on it. Lily wanted the stamp. She asked Ben, "Can I have the dragon stamp?" + +Ben said, "No, Lily. That is my stamp. I got it from my dad. He said it is special and I have to care for it." + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "You are mean, Ben. You have many stamps. You can share the dragon stamp with me." + +Ben said, "No, Lily. I like the dragon stamp. It is mine. Go away." + +Lily did not go away. She waited until Ben was not looking. She grabbed the dragon stamp and ran away. She was happy. She had the dragon stamp. + +But the dragon stamp was too big for Lily. It did not fit in her hand. It slipped and fell on the ground. It broke into pieces. Lily cried. She had broken the dragon stamp. + +Ben saw what Lily did. He was very angry and sad. He said, "Lily, you are bad. You took my stamp and broke it. You did not care for it. You are not my friend anymore." + +Lily said, "I am sorry, Ben. I did not mean to break it. I wanted to play with it. Please be my friend again." + +Ben said, "No, Lily. You cannot play with me or my stamps anymore. Go away and do not come back." + +Lily went away. She was alone and sad. She had lost the dragon stamp and her friend. She wished she had not taken the stamp. She wished she had cared for Ben. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a sock puppet that looked like a cat. She named it Socky and took it everywhere with her. + +One day, Lily saw a big jar of cookies on the kitchen counter. She loved cookies and wanted to have one. She climbed on a chair and tried to reach the jar, but it was too high. She stretched her arm and stood on her toes, but she still could not reach it. + +She had an idea. She took Socky from her hand and threw it at the jar, hoping to knock it down. But Socky missed the jar and hit a glass vase instead. The vase fell and broke into many pieces. Lily heard a loud noise and got scared. She jumped off the chair and ran to her room. + +But she forgot to take Socky with her. Socky was lying on the floor, next to the broken vase. He felt hurt and sad. He had a tear in his eye and a hole in his ear. He wished Lily would come back and hug him. + +Lily's mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and was angry. She looked for Lily and found her in her room. She asked her what happened and why she threw Socky. Lily said she was sorry and that she wanted a cookie. She said she loved Socky and did not mean to hurt him. + +Lily's mom told her that she should not throw things and that she should ask for help when she wanted something. She said that Socky was her friend and that she should take care of him. She said that cookies were a treat and that she should not be greedy. She said that she loved Lily and that she wanted her to be good. + +Lily felt sorry and learned her lesson. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry. She asked if she could go and get Socky. Her mom said yes and helped her clean the kitchen. They found Socky and fixed his tear and his hole. Lily hugged Socky and said she was sorry. She said she loved him and that he was her best friend. + +The moral of the story is: Do not throw things and ask for help when you need it. Take care of your friends and do not be greedy. Say sorry when you make a mistake and learn from it. Love your mom and your sock puppet. +Anna loved bright things. She liked to look at the sun, the stars, and the shiny toys in the shop. One day, she saw a very bright thing in the shop window. It was a diamond. It sparkled like a rainbow. + +"Mommy, mommy, can we buy the diamond?" Anna asked, pointing at the window. + +"No, sweetie, the diamond is very expensive. We can't buy it," Mommy said, holding Anna's hand. + +"But I want it, I want it!" Anna cried, stamping her feet. + +Mommy sighed. She knew Anna was a good girl, but sometimes she was very stubborn. She had an idea. She took Anna to the park, where there was a pond with ducks. She gave Anna some bread to feed the ducks. + +"Look, Anna, the ducks are so happy. They like the bread. And look at the water. It's bright too. It reflects the sun and the sky. Do you see the colors?" Mommy said, smiling. + +Anna looked at the water. She saw the blue, the yellow, the pink, and the green. She saw the ducks swimming and quacking. She felt the warm sun on her face. She forgot about the diamond. She smiled too. + +"Yes, Mommy, I see the colors. They are very bright. I like the water. And I like the ducks. They are funny. Can we come here again?" Anna said, hugging Mommy. + +"Of course, sweetie. We can come here anytime. And maybe, one day, when you are older, you can buy a diamond. But for now, you have something more precious. You have love," Mommy said, kissing Anna's cheek. + +Anna nodded. She felt happy. She didn't need the diamond. She had Mommy. And she had bright things all around her. +Lily and Ben are young. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a box of matches in the kitchen. They do not know what matches are. + +"Look, Ben, what are these?" Lily asks, holding a match. + +"I don't know, Lily. They are small and red and brown. Maybe they are candy?" Ben says, taking a match. + +Lily and Ben want to try the matches. They put them in their mouths. They do not like them. They are hard and bitter and make them cough. + +"Yuck, Ben, these are not candy. They are bad. Spit them out!" Lily says, spitting out her match. + +"Yuck, Lily, you are right. They are bad. Let's throw them away!" Ben says, spitting out his match. + +They throw the matches in the trash. They look for other toys to play with. They find some blocks and cars and dolls. They are happy. They do not want to play with matches again. They have learned a lesson. Matches are not toys. Matches are not candy. Matches are dangerous. +Tim and Jen like to play cops and robbers. Tim is the cop and Jen is the robber. They run around the yard and pretend to chase each other. + +"Stop, robber, stop!" Tim shouts. He has a toy gun and a badge. He tries to catch Jen, but she is fast. + +"No, cop, no!" Jen says. She has a bag of candy and a mask. She runs to the fence and tries to climb over. + +Tim follows her and grabs her leg. He pulls her down and puts his toy gun to her head. + +"Got you, robber, got you!" he says. He smiles and winks. + +Jen drops her bag of candy and puts her hands up. + +"OK, cop, OK!" she says. She frowns and pouts. + +Tim lets go of her leg and picks up the bag of candy. He opens it and sees many different colors and shapes. + +"Wow, robber, wow!" he says. He likes candy a lot. + +Jen sees his eyes and has an idea. She smiles and winks. + +"Hey, cop, hey!" she says. "Do you want to share the candy with me?" + +Tim thinks for a moment. He likes candy, but he also likes to be a good cop. + +"OK, robber, OK!" he says. "But only if you mark your face with this." He gives her a marker and points to his badge. + +Jen takes the marker and draws a star on her cheek. She thinks it looks pretty. + +"OK, cop, OK!" she says. "Now we are both good." + +They sit on the grass and share the candy. They laugh and talk. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily loved to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She liked to paint animals and flowers and trees. One day, she went to the farm with her mom and dad. She saw many animals there. She saw cows and pigs and sheep and horses. + +She wanted to paint the horses. They were big and brown and had long hair. She asked her mom if she could paint them. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and gentle. She gave Lily a paper and some paints. Lily walked to the stable where the horses were. + +She saw a horse in the stable. It was eating some hay. Lily said hello to the horse. She showed it her paper and paints. She asked if she could paint it. The horse looked at Lily and nodded. Lily smiled. She started to paint the horse. + +She painted its head and neck and body and legs. She painted its eyes and nose and mouth and ears. She painted its hair and tail. She used brown and black and white. She was very happy with her painting. She showed it to the horse. The horse looked at the painting and nodded again. It made a sound like "neigh". Lily thought it liked the painting. + +She wanted to give the horse a hug. She put down her paper and paints. She reached out her arms to the horse. But the horse was scared. It did not like hugs. It moved back and kicked its legs. It made a loud sound like "neigh". Lily was scared too. She dropped her arms and ran away. She cried. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to the stable. They saw Lily and the horse. They asked what happened. Lily told them. She said she was sorry. She said she did not know the horse was scared. Her mom and dad hugged her. They said it was okay. They said she did not do anything wrong. They said the horse was just nervous. They said she did a good job with her painting. + +They took Lily away from the stable. They gave her some water and a cookie. They told her she was brave and kind. They told her they were proud of her. They asked if she wanted to paint something else. Lily nodded. She said she wanted to paint a cow. They smiled. They gave her a new paper and some paints. They took her to the cow pen. Lily saw a cow. It was black and white and had horns. She said hello to the cow. She showed it her paper and paints. She asked if she could paint it. The cow looked at Lily and mooed. Lily smiled. She started to paint the cow. +Lily liked to play with her mother's crystals. They were shiny and colorful and made pretty sounds when she touched them. But her mother did not permit her to play with them alone. She said they were fragile and could break or hurt her. + +One day, when her mother was busy in the kitchen, Lily saw the crystals on the table. She wanted to play with them so much. She thought her mother would not notice if she took one. She reached for the biggest and most colorful crystal. It was heavy and cold in her hand. + +"Wow, it's so beautiful!" she said to herself. She held it up to the light and saw all the colors inside. She felt happy and curious. + +But then she heard her mother's voice. "Lily, what are you doing with that crystal? I told you not to touch them!" + +Lily was scared. She dropped the crystal on the floor. It made a loud noise and broke into many pieces. Lily started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy, I'm sorry!" she sobbed. + +Her mother came to her and hugged her. She was not angry, but sad. + +"It's okay, Lily, I'm not mad at you. But you have to listen to me. These crystals are not toys. They are special and delicate. They can break easily and hurt you or someone else. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She felt sorry for breaking the crystal and for not obeying her mother. + +"I understand, Mommy. I won't touch them again. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's clean up the mess and find something else to play with." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside when it rains. They wear boots and coats and hats. They do not care if they get wet. + +One day, they see a great puddle near the park. It is big and deep and shiny. They run to the puddle and jump in. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +"Look, Ben, I can make a big wave!" Mia says. She kicks the water hard with her boot. + +"Wow, Mia, that is cool!" Ben says. He tries to do the same. He kicks the water hard with his boot. + +But Ben kicks too hard. He slips and falls in the puddle. He gets water in his eyes and mouth and nose. He feels cold and wet and sad. + +"Mia, help me!" Ben cries. He tries to get up, but he can't. + +Mia hears Ben. She stops playing and runs to him. She grabs his hand and pulls him out of the puddle. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben, are you okay?" + +Ben coughs and shivers. He nods and says, "I'm okay, Mia, thank you. But I don't want to play in the puddle anymore. Let's go home." + +Mia agrees. She says, "Let's go home, Ben. We can have some hot chocolate and cookies. And we can play with your toys. That will make you feel better." + +Ben smiles and says, "Okay, Mia, that sounds good. You are a good friend." + +They hold hands and walk home. They do not look at the puddle again. They are happy to be warm and dry and together. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and draw with their pens. One day, they find a big box in the living room. They are curious and want to see what is inside. + +They open the box and see a fluffy puppy. The puppy is brown and white and has a wet nose. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Lily and Ben are happy and hug the puppy. + +"Who is this?" they ask their mom, who comes into the room. + +"This is Max, your new friend. He is a healthy puppy who needs a good home. Do you want to keep him?" mom says. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben say. They are excited and want to play with Max. + +Mom smiles and says, "OK, but first you need to settle him in. He needs a bed, a bowl, a toy and a pen. A pen is a place where he can stay when you are not home. It is like a fence, but smaller. Can you help me make a pen for Max?" + +Lily and Ben nod and follow mom to the backyard. They find some wood, some nails, a hammer and a tape measure. They work together to make a pen for Max. They measure, cut, nail and paint the wood. They make a door and a roof for the pen. They put a soft blanket, a water bowl, a bone and a ball inside the pen. + +They show Max his new pen. He sniffs around and wags his tail. He likes his pen. He goes inside and lies down on the blanket. He chews on the bone and plays with the ball. + +Lily and Ben are proud of their work. They pet Max and say, "Welcome home, Max. We love you." + +Max barks and licks their faces. He loves them too. He is happy to have a new family and a new pen. +Timmy loves cars. He has many cars in his room. He likes to play with them and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep. He has big cars and small cars, red cars and blue cars, fast cars and slow cars. But his favorite car is his regular car. His regular car is yellow and has four wheels. It is not too big and not too small. It is just right for Timmy. + +One day, Timmy goes to the park with his mom. He brings his regular car with him. He wants to show it to his friends. He sees Lily and Ben at the swings. They are playing with their cars too. Lily has a pink car with glitter. Ben has a green car with a siren. They look at Timmy's regular car and laugh. + +"Your car is boring," Lily says. "It has no color and no sparkle." + +"Your car is old," Ben says. "It has no sound and no light." + +Timmy feels sad. He likes his regular car. He thinks it is the best car. He does not want to play with Lily and Ben. He runs away to the slide. He puts his regular car on the slide and watches it go down. Whee, whee, whee. + +"Timmy, come here," his mom calls. "It is time to go home." + +Timmy picks up his regular car and runs to his mom. He hugs his car and smiles. + +"Did you have fun, Timmy?" his mom asks. + +"Yes, mom," Timmy says. "I love my regular car. It is the best car." + +"Can I see your car, Timmy?" his mom asks. + +Timmy nods and shows his car to his mom. His mom looks at his car and smiles too. + +"It is a very nice car, Timmy," his mom says. "It is a regular car, but it is also a special car. It is special because it is yours and you love it." + +Timmy feels happy. He knows his mom is right. He does not care what Lily and Ben say. He loves his regular car. He insists on holding it all the way home. He does not let go of it even when he goes to bed. He sleeps with his regular car in his arms. He dreams of driving his regular car to the moon. +Lily liked tuna very much. She wanted to eat tuna every day. But her mom said no. She said tuna was not good for Lily all the time. She said Lily had to eat other things too, like carrots and rice and eggs. + +One day, Lily saw a big can of tuna in the kitchen. She was very hungry. She thought her mom was not looking. She took the can and ran to her room. She opened the can with her teeth. She ate the tuna very fast. It was yummy. + +But then, Lily felt sick. Her tummy hurt a lot. She cried and cried. Her mom heard her and came to her room. She saw the can and the tuna. She was angry and sad. + +"Lily, why did you do this?" she asked. "I told you not to eat tuna all the time. It is not good for you. You are a poor girl. You did not listen to me. You did not permit me to help you. Now you are sick and you have to go to the doctor." + +Lily was sorry. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had not eaten the tuna. She wished she had not been a poor girl. But it was too late. She had to go to the doctor and take medicine. She did not like the doctor or the medicine. She did not like the tuna anymore. She had a bad day. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her dolls, her dog, and her friends. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, she saw an old lady sitting on a bench in the park. The old lady had a heavy bag and a sad face. Lily wanted to make her smile. She ran to the old lady and said, "Hello, I am Lily. Do you want to dance with me?" + +The old lady looked at Lily and shook her head. "No, thank you, dear. I am too old and too heavy to dance. I can only sit and watch." + +Lily did not give up. She said, "But dancing is fun. Dancing makes you feel good. Dancing is for everyone. Please, try it with me. Just one song." + +The old lady sighed. She put her bag on the ground and took Lily's hand. She stood up and followed Lily's steps. They danced to the music from a nearby radio. They danced slowly and gently. They danced with smiles and laughs. + +The old lady felt her heart warm and her feet light. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are right. Dancing is fun. Dancing makes me feel good. Dancing is for everyone. You are a very kind and sweet girl." + +Lily hugged the old lady and said, "You are welcome. You are a very nice and brave lady. I am glad we danced together. Can we be friends?" + +The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, we can. And maybe we can dance again sometime." + +They sat on the bench and talked. They became friends. They were happy. +Lisa and Tom are friends. They like to play together at school. Lisa has a passport. She shows it to Tom. It has her name and photo on it. + +"Wow, Lisa, you have a passport! Where did you get it?" Tom asks. + +"My mom and dad gave it to me. They said we are going to fly on a big plane to another country. It is called France. They said it is very nice there. They said I need a passport to go there," Lisa says. + +"That sounds fun, Lisa. I hope you have a good time. What will you do in France?" Tom says. + +"I don't know. My mom said we will see a big tower and a big museum and a big river. She said we will eat bread and cheese and cake. She said we will speak a different language. She said it is called French," Lisa says. + +"Wow, Lisa, you are lucky. I wish I had a passport too. I want to see France. I want to eat cake. I want to speak French," Tom says. + +"Maybe you can go to France one day, Tom. Maybe your mom and dad will take you. Maybe you can get a passport too. Then we can both see France. Then we can both be happy," Lisa says. + +They hug and smile. They are happy. They are friends. They hope to see France. They have a passport. They are popular. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. Lila has a red car and Ben has a blue truck. They pretend to be drivers and go on adventures. + +One day, they find a big pile of rocks in the yard. They want to pick some rocks and put them in their car and truck. Lila picks a small rock and puts it in her car. Ben picks a big rock and tries to put it in his truck. But the rock is too big and heavy. It does not fit in his truck. + +Lila says, "Ben, that rock is too big. Pick a smaller one." But Ben is stubborn. He does not want to pick a smaller one. He wants the big rock. He pushes and pulls and twists and turns. He tries to make the rock fit in his truck. + +But the rock does not move. It is stuck in his truck. Ben is sad and angry. He cannot drive his truck anymore. He cries and stomps his feet. + +Lila feels sorry for Ben. She says, "Ben, I have an idea. Why don't we share our rocks? You can have some of my small rocks and I can have some of your big rocks. Then we can both drive our car and truck." + +Ben thinks about it. He likes Lila's idea. He says, "OK, Lila. Let's share our rocks." He smiles and wipes his tears. He picks up some of Lila's small rocks and puts them in his truck. Lila picks up some of Ben's big rocks and puts them in her car. + +They both have enough rocks to fill their car and truck. They are happy and proud. They drive their car and truck around the yard. They have fun and laugh. They are good drivers and good twins. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, like dolls, cars, blocks and books. But they did not like to clean their toys after playing. They left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table and everywhere. + +One day, their mom told them, "Lily and Ben, you have to clean your toys before dinner. If you don't, you will not get any dessert." Lily and Ben did not listen to their mom. They said, "We don't want to clean. We want to play more. Cleaning is boring." They ran away to the living room and played with more toys. + +Their mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making a cake for dessert. She put the cake in the oven and set the timer. She hoped that Lily and Ben would clean their toys soon. + +But Lily and Ben did not clean their toys. They made more mess in the living room. They threw their toys around, they knocked over the lamp, they spilled their juice on the carpet. They did not hear the timer beep in the kitchen. + +Their mom heard the timer and went to check the cake. She opened the oven and saw that the cake was burned. She was very sad and angry. She said, "Oh no, my cake is ruined. I worked so hard to make it. And look at this mess. Lily and Ben, where are you?" + +She went to the living room and saw Lily and Ben playing with their toys. She said, "Lily and Ben, what have you done? You did not clean your toys. You made a big mess. And you did not hear the timer. You made me burn the cake. Now we have no dessert. You are very naughty." + +Lily and Ben looked at their mom and felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to make you sad and angry. We were having fun with our toys. We forgot to clean them. We did not hear the timer. We did not know you were making a cake. We love cake. Can we have some?" + +Their mom said, "No, you cannot have any cake. The cake is burned. It is not good to eat. You have to learn to clean your toys after playing. And you have to listen to me when I tell you something. Cleaning is not boring. It is important. It shows that you care about your things and your home. And it makes me happy. Maybe next time, you will get some cake. But not today. Today, you have to go to bed without dessert. And you have to clean your toys tomorrow." + +Lily and Ben felt very sad. They wished they had cleaned their toys. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not made a mess. They wished they had some cake. They learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will clean our toys tomorrow. We will listen to you next time. We will not make a mess again. We love you, mom." + +Their mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. But you have to go to bed now. Good night." She gave them a hug and a kiss and took them to their room. She turned off the light and closed the door. She went back to the kitchen and threw away the burned cake. She felt very tired and sad.

She ran towards the cat and barked. The cat did not like Lila. He scratched her nose and ran away. + +Lila was hurt and scared. She ran back to Ben and whimpered. Ben heard Lila and looked at her. He saw her bleeding nose and felt sorry for her. He put down his new toy and hugged Lila. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila, I love you. Let me get you a bandage." + +Lila was happy again. She licked Ben's face and wagged her tail. Ben smiled and threw the ball for Lila. They played together and forgot about the new toy. They were jolly again. +Lily liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped to the park, she skipped to the shop. She skipped everywhere she went. She was happy when she skipped. + +One day, Lily saw a boat on the lake. It was a big boat, with a sail and a flag. Lily wanted to skip on the boat. She asked her mum if she could go on the boat. Her mum said no. She said the boat was not for skipping, it was for sailing. She said Lily had to stay on the land. + +Lily was grumpy. She did not want to stay on the land. She wanted to skip on the boat. She pouted and crossed her arms. She did not skip anymore. She walked slowly and sadly. + +Then, she saw a duck. The duck was on the water, near the boat. The duck was quacking and flapping its wings. The duck looked happy. Lily smiled. She liked the duck. She waved to the duck. The duck waved back. + +Lily had an idea. She asked her mum if she could feed the duck. Her mum said yes. She gave Lily some bread. Lily threw the bread to the duck. The duck ate the bread and quacked some more. Lily laughed. She felt happy again. She skipped to the duck. She skipped with the duck. She skipped around the boat. She had fun. She forgot to be grumpy. She thanked her mum and the duck. She said she liked the boat. She said she liked to skip. +Lily and Tom were playing with yarn. They liked to make shapes and animals with the yarn. Lily made a cat and Tom made a snake. They showed each other their yarn creations. + +"Look, I made a cat. Meow!" Lily said. + +"Look, I made a snake. Hiss!" Tom said. + +They were having fun until Tom had an idea. He wanted to scare Lily with his snake. He moved his snake closer to Lily's cat and pretended to bite it. + +"Rawr! My snake is hungry. He wants to eat your cat!" Tom said. + +Lily was scared and angry. She loved her cat and did not want Tom's snake to hurt it. She grabbed her cat and slapped Tom's snake away. + +"Stop it! That's not nice. You are mean. Go away!" Lily said. + +Tom was surprised and hurt. He did not mean to make Lily sad. He just wanted to play. He dropped his snake and looked at Lily with big eyes. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. I don't want to eat your cat. I like your cat. Can we still be friends?" Tom said. + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sad too. She felt sorry for him. She knew he did not mean to be mean. She picked up his snake and gave it back to him. + +"Okay, Tom. I forgive you. You can still be my friend. But don't scare me again. Let's play nice with our yarn." Lily said. + +Tom smiled and hugged Lily. They both said sorry and hugged their yarn. They decided to make more shapes and animals with the yarn. They played nice and had fun. +Ben and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to find new things and have fun. They saw a big hole in the hill. It was a cave. Ben wanted to go inside and see what was there. Lily was not sure. She said, "Ben, I don't think we should go in. It is dark and scary. Maybe there are bad things in there." + +Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily. It will be fun. I have a flashlight. We can see everything. Come on, let's go." He took Lily's hand and pulled her into the cave. + +They walked in the cave for a while. They saw some rocks and some bats. Ben was happy. He said, "Look, Lily, this is cool. The cave is like a secret place. We can explore and find treasures." + +Lily was not happy. She said, "Ben, I don't like this. The cave is cold and wet. I can't see the sun. I want to go back. Please, let's go back." + +Ben said, "OK, OK, Lily. Don't cry. We can go back. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad. Let's go back to the woods. Follow me." + +They turned around and walked back to the cave entrance. But they couldn't find it. They were lost. They tried to find the way out, but they only saw more dark tunnels. They were scared. They hugged each other and said, "Help, help. Is anyone there?" + +Then they heard a voice. It was their dad. He said, "Ben, Lily, where are you? I heard you calling. I'm here to help you. Don't be afraid. I'll find you." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They said, "Dad, dad, we're here. We're in the cave. We're sorry. We didn't listen to you. We went in the cave and got lost. Please, come and get us." + +Their dad said, "I see your flashlight. I'm coming. Stay calm. I'll be there soon." He walked in the cave and followed the light. He found Ben and Lily and hugged them. He said, "I'm so glad you're safe. You scared me. You shouldn't go in the cave without me. It's dangerous. Next time, listen to me and stay in the woods." + +Ben and Lily said, "We're sorry, dad. We won't do it again. We love you. Thank you for saving us." + +Their dad said, "I love you too. Come on, let's go home. It's getting late. We'll have some hot chocolate and cookies. And maybe we can read a story about caves. But only in the books, OK?" + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, dad. That sounds good. We learned our lesson. Caves are not for us. We like the woods better." They smiled and walked out of the cave with their dad. They were happy and relieved. They didn't worry anymore. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their bikes. They have a big yard with a gate. The gate has a lock. Mom and Dad have the key. + +One day, Sara and Ben want to ride their bikes outside the yard. They see a hill. They want to go down the hill. They think it will be fun and fast. They ask Mom and Dad for the key. Mom and Dad say no. They say the hill is too steep and dangerous. They say they can ride their bikes in the yard. + +Sara and Ben are sad and mad. They want to go down the hill. They look for the key. They find it in Mom's purse. They take it and run to the gate. They unlock the gate and open it. They get on their bikes and ride to the hill. + +They go down the hill. They feel the speed. They feel the wind. They feel glad. They laugh and shout. They do not see the car. The car is coming fast. The car honks. Sara and Ben are scared. They try to stop. They can not. They crash. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the hill. They see Sara and Ben. They see the car. They see the bikes. They are shocked and worried. They hug Sara and Ben. They check if they are hurt. They are not hurt. They are lucky. They are sorry. + +Mom and Dad take Sara and Ben back to the yard. They lock the gate. They take the key. They talk to Sara and Ben. They tell them they love them. They tell them they are wrong. They tell them they are sorry. They tell them they are grounded. They tell them they can not ride their bikes for a week. + +Sara and Ben are sad and mad. They wish they did not go down the hill. They wish they did not take the key. They wish they listened to Mom and Dad. They learn a lesson. They say they love Mom and Dad. They say they are wrong. They say they are sorry. They hug Mom and Dad. They go to their room. They wait for a week. +Lily and Sam wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But it was raining outside. They looked out the window and felt sad. + +"Mom, when will the rain stop?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, honey. Maybe soon, maybe not. We have to wait and see," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam did not like to wait. They were impatient. They wanted to go to the park now. + +"Can we pray for the rain to stop?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, we can pray. But we have to be respectful and thankful. God knows what is best for us and the plants and the animals. Maybe the rain is good for them," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam nodded. They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They prayed for the rain to stop, but they also thanked God for the water and the life it gave. They prayed for their family and friends and the people who needed help. + +When they opened their eyes, they saw a bright light. The sun was shining through the clouds. The rain had stopped. They saw a rainbow in the sky. + +"Look, Mom, look! The rain is gone! Can we go to the park now?" Lily and Sam shouted. + +"Yes, you can. But first, put on your coats and boots. It might be wet and muddy," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam quickly got ready. They hugged Mom and ran outside. They were happy and excited. They went to the park and had fun. They thanked God for answering their prayer and for the beautiful day. +Sara and Ben like to play with their mom's sewing box. They find many colorful things inside, like buttons, ribbons, and pins. Mom tells them to be careful with the pins, because they are sharp and can hurt. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing with the sewing box when mom is busy in the kitchen. Sara sees a shiny pin that looks like a star. She wants to put it on her dress. She reaches for the pin, but Ben grabs it first. + +"Give me the pin, Ben!" Sara says. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. "I like it more!" + +They pull and tug on the pin, but neither of them wants to let go. The pin bends and breaks, and a sharp piece flies into Sara's eye. Sara screams and cries. Ben drops the pin and runs to mom. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Ben says. "Sara has a pin in her eye!" + +Mom hears the scream and the cry, and comes running to the room. She sees Sara holding her eye, and blood on her dress. She picks up Sara and hugs her. + +"Oh, Sara, what happened?" mom says. "Where is the pin?" + +Sara points to the broken pin on the floor. Mom sees it and frowns. + +"Ben, did you and Sara fight over the pin?" mom says. + +Ben nods and looks down. He feels sorry and scared. + +"Ben, you know you have to be careful with the pins, right?" mom says. "They are not toys. They can hurt you and Sara. You have to share and be nice." + +Ben nods again and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Sara. Please forgive me." + +Mom says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to learn from this. Next time, ask Sara nicely if you can have the pin. And if she says no, find another one. There are many pins in the sewing box. Can you do that?" + +Ben says, "Yes, mom. I can do that." + +Mom says, "Good. Now, let's go to the doctor and see if Sara's eye is okay. I hope it's not too bad." + +She takes Sara and Ben to the car, and drives to the doctor. Sara and Ben hold hands and say, "We love you, mom." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. And I'm proud of you for being brave and honest." +Tom and Sue were a jolly pair. They liked to sing and dance and play. They had a big house with a nice yard and a dog named Spot. They were very happy. + +One day, a man came to their door. He had a big bag and a big smile. He said he was a friend and he had a gift for them. Tom and Sue let him in. They were very polite. + +The man opened his bag and took out a box. He said it was a magic box. He said it could make their wishes come true. He said he would show them how it worked. Tom and Sue were very curious. + +The man asked Tom what he wished for. Tom said he wished for a new bike. The man said OK and pressed a button on the box. A beep sounded and a flash of light came out. The man said to look outside. Tom ran to the window and saw a new bike in the yard. He was very happy. + +The man asked Sue what she wished for. Sue said she wished for a new dress. The man said OK and pressed another button on the box. Another beep sounded and another flash of light came out. The man said to look in the closet. Sue ran to the closet and saw a new dress hanging there. She was very happy. + +The man said he had one more wish to give. He said he would make it for himself. He said he wished for Sue to be his wife. He pressed the last button on the box. A loud beep sounded and a bright flash of light came out. The man said to look at his finger. He had a ring on it. He said he and Sue were now married. He said he would take her away with him. He said Tom could keep the bike and the dress. He was very happy. + +Tom and Sue were very sad. They did not want to be apart. They did not want the man to be Sue's husband. They did not want the bike and the dress. They wanted their old life back. They wished they had never let the man in. They wished they had never seen the magic box. They wished they had never made any wishes. They cried and hugged each other. + +Spot the dog was very smart. He had seen everything. He had heard everything. He did not like the man. He did not like the magic box. He did not like what the man had done. He wanted to help Tom and Sue. He had an idea. + +Spot ran to the magic box and bit it. He shook it and tore it. He made it break. He made it stop. He made a big mess. He barked and growled. + +The man was very angry. He saw what Spot had done. He saw that the magic box was broken. He saw that his wish was gone. He saw that Sue was not his wife anymore. He saw that Tom and Sue were happy again. He was very sad. + +He grabbed his bag and ran to the door. He said he was sorry. He said he was wrong. He said he would leave. He said goodbye. He was very scared. + +Tom and Sue thanked Spot. They said he was a good dog. They said he was a hero. They said they loved him. They were very happy. + +They threw away the bike and the dress. They did not want them. They did not need them. They had each other. They had Spot. They had their jolly life. They were very happy. +Lily wanted to make a card for her mom. She had paper, crayons, and stickers. She sat at the table and started to draw. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you" inside. She added some flowers and stars around the heart. She was very proud of her card. + +She showed her card to her dad. He smiled and said, "Wow, Lily, that's a very impressive card. You did a great job. I'm sure your mom will love it." + +Lily beamed and said, "Thank you, dad. I worked very hard on it. I want to make mom happy." + +Dad hugged her and said, "You are a very sweet and thoughtful girl. You always succeed in making us happy. Now, let's go and surprise mom with your card." + +Lily nodded and took her card. She ran to the living room, where mom was reading a book. She shouted, "Mom, mom, I have something for you!" + +Mom looked up and saw Lily holding her card. She smiled and said, "What is it, Lily?" + +Lily gave her the card and said, "I made this for you, mom. I love you very much." + +Mom opened the card and saw Lily's drawing and writing. She was very touched and said, "Oh, Lily, this is the most beautiful card I ever received. I love you very much, too. Thank you for this wonderful gift." + +She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. Lily felt very happy and said, "You're welcome, mom. I'm glad you like it." + +They cuddled on the couch and looked at the card together. Dad joined them and said, "You have a very talented and loving daughter, honey. She made an impressive card for you." + +Mom nodded and said, "I know, I'm very lucky. And I have a very supportive and caring husband, too." + +They all hugged and said, "We love you" to each other. They felt very happy and grateful. They had a very special family. +Timmy wanted to ride his bike outside. He put on his helmet and ran to the door. But his mom stopped him. + +"Wait, Timmy. Where are you going?" she asked. + +"To ride my bike, Mom. Please, please, please, can I go?" Timmy begged. + +Mom looked at the sky. It was dark and cloudy. She heard thunder in the distance. + +"Sorry, Timmy. I can't permit you to go outside. It's going to rain soon. It's not safe to ride your bike in the rain. You might slip and fall and hurt yourself," she said. + +Timmy felt sad and angry. He stomped his feet and pouted. + +"That's not fair, Mom. I want to ride my bike. I don't care about the rain. You never let me do anything fun," he said. + +Mom sighed. She knew Timmy loved his bike, but she also wanted him to be safe. She tried to think of something else to make him happy. + +"How about we play a game inside? You can choose any game you want. Or we can read a book, or watch a show, or make a snack. What do you say, Timmy?" she offered. + +Timmy thought for a moment. He still wanted to ride his bike, but he also liked games and books and snacks. He looked at his mom's face. She smiled and hugged him. + +"Okay, Mom. I guess we can play a game. But can we play bike race? I can pretend my bike is a race car and you can be the other driver," he said. + +Mom nodded. She was glad Timmy agreed to stay inside. She took his helmet and put it on her head. + +"Sure, Timmy. We can play bike race. But you have to wear this," she said, handing him a big hat with a feather on it. + +Timmy laughed. He put on the hat and ran to the living room. He grabbed his bike and made engine noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, vroom. I'm going to win, Mom. You can't catch me," he said. + +Mom followed him with her helmet. She made siren noises. + +"Woo, woo, woo. I'm the police, Timmy. You're going too fast. You have to stop," she said. + +They played bike race for a long time. They had fun and forgot about the rain. They chased each other around the house, making noises and jokes. They were happy and tired. They didn't notice when the sun came out and the rain stopped. They only noticed when Dad came home and joined them in the game. They had a big family hug and laughed. They loved each other very much. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big egg on the grass. It is brown and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that egg!" Tom says. "I wonder what is inside." + +"Maybe a bird, or a dinosaur, or a dragon!" Lily says. She is eager to find out. She runs to the egg and touches it. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Tom says. "It might break!" + +But Lily does not listen. She taps the egg with her finger. The egg makes a crack sound. Lily and Tom are surprised. They see a small hole in the egg. + +"Something is coming out!" Lily says. She is excited. She leans closer to the hole. + +Suddenly, a yellow beak pops out of the hole. It is a baby duck. It peeks at Lily and Tom. It quacks softly. + +"Hello, little duck!" Lily says. She smiles. She wants to hug the duck. + +"Hello, hello!" Tom says. He is happy. He likes the duck. + +The duck comes out of the egg. It is fluffy and cute. It waddles to Lily and Tom. It nuzzles their hands. It likes them too. + +Lily and Tom are glad. They have a new friend. They name the duck Daisy. They play with Daisy in the park. They have fun. +Tom liked to play with his toys in the living room. He had cars, trains, dolls and blocks. He liked to make noises and stories with them. But he did not like the big ashtray on the table. It was black and dirty and smelled bad. His mom told him not to touch it, but he was curious. + +One day, when his mom was in the kitchen, he climbed on the sofa and reached for the ashtray. He wanted to see what was inside. He grabbed it with both hands and lifted it up. But it was heavier than he thought. He lost his balance and fell off the sofa. The ashtray crashed on the floor and broke into pieces. Tom started to cry. + +His mom heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw Tom on the floor, surrounded by broken glass and ash. She was scared and angry. She picked him up and hugged him. She checked if he was hurt. He had a small cut on his hand. She cleaned it with a wet cloth and put a band-aid on it. She told him he was a naughty boy and he should never touch the ashtray again. She threw away the ashtray and swept the floor. + +Tom felt sorry and sad. He said he was sorry and he loved his mom. His mom said she loved him too and she was glad he was okay. She gave him a sweet kiss and a sweet cookie. She told him to play with his toys and be careful. Tom nodded and smiled. He went back to his toys and forgot about the ashtray. He was happy again. +Lila had a little bow that she liked very much. It was red and shiny and had a bell on it. She wore it on her hair every day and made it jingle when she walked. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a man who had a table full of toys. He was selling them to other children. Lila saw a big teddy bear that was brown and soft and had a blue ribbon on it. She wanted it very much. + +"Mom, can I have that teddy bear?" she asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we don't have enough money for that," her mom said. + +Lila felt sad. She looked at her little bow and had an idea. + +"Mom, can I sell my bow to the man?" she asked. + +"Are you sure, honey? You love your bow," her mom said. + +Lila nodded. She took off her bow and walked to the man. + +"Hello, little girl, what do you have there?" the man asked. + +"I have a bow. It is red and shiny and has a bell. Do you want to buy it?" Lila asked. + +The man smiled. He liked the bow. It was pretty and cute. + +"How much do you want for it?" he asked. + +Lila thought for a moment. She remembered the price of the teddy bear. + +"Five dollars," she said. + +The man nodded. He gave Lila five dollars and took the bow. He put it on his table. + +"Thank you, little girl. You have a good eye for business," he said. + +Lila smiled. She ran back to her mom and showed her the money. + +"Mom, look, I sold my bow. Now I can buy the teddy bear," she said. + +Her mom hugged her. She was proud of Lila, but also a little sad. + +"Are you sure you want to do that, honey? You won't have your bow anymore," she said. + +Lila looked at the teddy bear. It was big and soft and had a blue ribbon. She wanted it very much. + +"Yes, mom, I want to do that. I can make a new bow later. But I can't make a teddy bear," she said. + +Her mom nodded. She took Lila's hand and walked to the man. + +"Hello, sir, we would like to buy that teddy bear, please," she said. + +The man smiled. He gave them the teddy bear and took the money. + +"Thank you, ma'am. You have a very smart and sweet daughter," he said. + +Lila hugged the teddy bear. It was warm and cozy and had a blue ribbon. She loved it very much. + +She looked at the man and saw her bow on his table. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She still liked it very much. + +She waved at the man and said, "Bye, sir. Thank you for my teddy bear. And take good care of my bow." + +The man waved back and said, "Bye, little girl. Thank you for your bow. And enjoy your teddy bear." + +Lila and her mom left the park. They were happy. They had a new friend and a new toy. And they still had each other. +Ben was a boy who liked to hunt animals. He did not care if they were big or small, he only wanted their fur. He thought fur was very pretty and he could sell it for money. He did not value the lives of the animals or how they felt. + +One day, he saw a rabbit in the woods. He chased it with his gun and shot it. He was happy to get its fur, but he did not notice that the rabbit had a family. The rabbit's mother and father and brothers and sisters were very sad and angry. They wanted to make Ben pay for what he did. + +They followed him to his house and waited until it was dark. Then they sneaked in and found his fur collection. They tore it apart and made a big mess. They also bit and scratched Ben while he was sleeping. He woke up and screamed, but it was too late. He was hurt and his fur was ruined. + +Ben learned a difficult lesson that night. He learned that animals have feelings and families too. He learned that fur is not worth more than life. He learned that he should value all living things and not hurt them for his greed. But he learned it the hard way, and he was very sorry. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they saw a big, shiny car in the toy store. They both wanted it very much, but it had a high price. They only had a little money from their piggy bank. + +"Let's ask Mommy to buy it for us," Tom said. + +"No, Mommy said we have to save our money for something else," Lily said. + +"But I want it now!" Tom said. He was angry. He grabbed the car and ran to the counter. + +"Stop, Tom! That's not nice!" Lily said. She ran after him. + +The man at the counter saw Tom with the car. He was angry too. He said, "Hey, kid, you can't take that without paying. That's stealing!" + +Tom was scared. He dropped the car and cried. Lily came and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, mister," Lily said. "He didn't mean to. He just liked the car a lot." + +The man sighed. He said, "I understand, but you have to learn that stealing is wrong. You have to pay a price for what you do. You can't have the car, and you have to give me your money." + +Tom and Lily were sad. They gave the man their money and left the store. They had no car and no money. They suffered for their mistake. They wished they had listened to Mommy. +Tom likes to play with his toys in the living room. He has cars, trains, blocks and a teddy bear. He makes noises and stories with them. He is happy. + +But one day, he forgets to put his toys away. He leaves them on the floor and on the sofa. He runs to the kitchen to have a snack. He does not see his mom coming home. + +Mom sees the mess in the living room. She is not happy. She picks up the toys and puts them in the cupboard. She closes the door. She goes to the kitchen to find Tom. + +Tom is eating a cookie and drinking some milk. He sees his mom and smiles. He says, "Hi, Mom. I am hungry." + +Mom says, "Hi, Tom. I am glad you are hungry. But you forgot something. Do you know what you forgot?" + +Tom thinks. He looks around. He does not see his toys. He feels sad. He says, "I forgot my toys. I am sorry, Mom." + +Mom says, "It's okay, Tom. I am not angry. I am just mild. But you have to remember to put your toys away when you are done. They are not safe in the living room. Someone can trip on them or break them. And they need a place to rest, too. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods. He says, "I understand, Mom. Can I have my toys back, please?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, finish your snack and wash your hands. Then, we can go to the cupboard and get your toys. And you can help me put them in your room, where they belong. How does that sound?" + +Tom says, "That sounds good, Mom. Thank you, Mom. I love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you, too, Tom. You are a good boy. Come on, let's go." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red bird on their porch. They wanted to get closer and observe the bird, but their mom told them to be careful. + +"Mom, why do we have to be careful?" Tom asked. + +"Because the bird might be scared of us and fly away, or it might peck us if we bother it," mom said. "We have to respect the bird and its space." + +Tom and Lily nodded and went to the porch. They walked very slowly and quietly, and sat on the steps. They watched the bird with wonder and curiosity. The bird had shiny feathers, a long beak, and a crest on its head. It made loud and funny noises. + +"Wow, the bird is so pretty and cool!" Lily whispered. + +"I know, I wish we could touch it and play with it," Tom whispered back. + +But they remembered what mom said, and they did not move or make noise. They just observed the bird and enjoyed its presence. The bird seemed to notice them, and tilted its head. It made a soft sound, as if to say hello. + +Tom and Lily smiled and waved at the bird. The bird waved back with its wing, and then flew away. Tom and Lily felt happy and proud. They had learned something new, and they had been careful and respectful. + +Mom came to the porch and hugged them. "You did a great job, Tom and Lily," she said. "You were very kind and gentle with the bird. That's how we treat all living things." + +Tom and Lily nodded and hugged mom back. They had learned a valuable lesson: to observe and appreciate nature, and to be careful and respectful of all living things. +Sara and Tom liked to play pretend in the garden. They pretended to be fairies and wizards, and used flowers and sticks as magic tools. One day, they found a big red poppy in the corner of the garden. It was unusual, because it was the only one there. + +"Look, Tom, a poppy!" Sara said. "Maybe it has special powers. Let's pretend it can grant wishes." + +"OK, Sara, you go first. What do you wish for?" Tom said. + +Sara thought for a moment. She wished for a new doll, a big cake, and a pony. She picked the poppy and said her wishes out loud. + +"Your turn, Tom. What do you wish for?" Sara said. + +Tom wished for a rocket, a dinosaur, and a sword. He picked the poppy and said his wishes out loud. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They turned around and saw a big truck coming towards them. It was driving very fast and did not see them. The truck was carrying a lot of things, and some of them fell off. + +Sara and Tom were scared. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The truck hit them and they fell to the ground. The things that fell off the truck were a new doll, a big cake, a pony, a rocket, a dinosaur, and a sword. They landed on top of Sara and Tom and crushed them. + +The poppy was still in their hands. It did not grant their wishes. It was just a flower. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to eat. They ate many things, like bread, cheese, fruit, and cake. One day, they saw a big factory near their house. It had a sign that said "New Candy Factory". They wanted to try the candy. + +"Let's go inside and see what they have," Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom and Dad said we should not go to places we don't know," Lily said. + +They walked to the factory and found a door that was open. They went inside and saw many machines and people making candy. They smelled sweet and yummy things. They saw a big bowl of candy on a table. + +"Wow, look at all the candy! Can we have some?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask someone first," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the table and grabbed a handful of candy. He put some in his mouth and gave some to Lily. + +"Mmm, this is good! Try it, Lily!" Tom said. + +Lily took a bite and smiled. The candy was soft and chewy and had many colors. She liked it a lot. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids! And you can't eat the candy! It's not ready yet! It's a test batch! It might make you sick!" the voice said. + +They turned and saw a man wearing a white coat and a hat. He looked angry and scary. He was the boss of the factory. + +Lily and Tom felt afraid. They dropped the candy and ran to the door. They hoped the candy would not make them sick. They learned a lesson. They should not go to places they don't know and eat things they don't ask for. They said sorry to the boss and went home. They told their Mom and Dad what happened and promised to be more careful next time. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has swings, slides, and a big tree. Tim and Mia like to swing and slide, but they also like to climb the tree. + +One day, they see a hairy dog under the tree. The dog is brown and big. It has a long tail and floppy ears. The dog looks at Tim and Mia and wags its tail. + +"Hello, doggy!" Mia says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barks and runs to Mia. It licks her face and makes her giggle. + +"Wow, you are a friendly doggy!" Tim says. "Can I pet you?" + +The dog barks again and runs to Tim. It lets him pet its fur and rub its belly. + +"You are a soft doggy!" Tim says. "Do you have a name?" + +The dog does not answer. It just wags its tail and looks happy. + +Tim and Mia decide to call the dog Spot. They think Spot is a good name for a hairy dog. + +They play with Spot for a long time. They throw a stick and Spot fetches it. They run and Spot chases them. They hug and Spot cuddles with them. + +They have a lot of fun with Spot. They think Spot is the best dog in the world. + +They also have an opinion. They think the park is the best place in the world. They love the park and they love Spot. They are very happy. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big helicopter in the sky. It makes a loud noise. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +Anna and Ben are scared. They run to their mom. "Mom, mom, what is that?" they say. "That is a helicopter," mom says. "It can fly in the air. It helps people who are sick or in trouble." + +Anna and Ben look at the helicopter. It is shiny and has a big fan on top. They see a man waving from the window. He is wearing a helmet and a suit. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, hello!" he says. "Do you like my helicopter? I am a pilot. I fly the helicopter to the hospital. I take people who need help. Do you want to see inside?" + +Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the helicopter. They nod and hold mom's hand. Mom says it is okay. They walk to the helicopter. The pilot helps them get in. He shows them the seats, the buttons, the lights and the radio. + +Anna and Ben are amazed. They think the helicopter is cool. They are not scared anymore. They thank the pilot and say goodbye. They go back to the park. They pretend to be pilots and fly their own helicopters. They have fun. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. She helped her mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and wash the dishes. + +One day, Anna saw a big cake on the table. It was chocolate with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked yummy. Anna wanted to taste it. She asked her mom, "Can I have some cake, please?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Not yet, sweetie. That cake is for your dad's birthday. We have to wait until he comes home. Then we can all have some cake together." + +Anna nodded, but she was still curious. She wanted to see the cake up close. She waited until her mom was busy with something else. Then she pushed a chair to the table and climbed on it. She reached for the cake with her hand. + +But the cake was not real. It was fake. It was made of plastic and foam. It was a joke for her dad. Anna was surprised and disappointed. She touched the cake and it felt hard and cold. She tried to lift it and it was heavy and sticky. She dropped it and it made a loud noise. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to the table. She saw Anna and the fake cake on the floor. She was not angry, but she was amused. She said, "Oh, Anna, you found the fake cake. It was supposed to be a surprise for your dad. He likes funny jokes. But don't worry, we have a real cake in the fridge. Do you want to see it?" + +Anna nodded and jumped off the chair. She followed her mom to the fridge. She saw a real cake inside. It was also chocolate with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked even yummier than the fake one. Anna smiled and said, "Yes, please. I want to see the real cake. And I want to say happy birthday to dad. And I want to help him eat the cake. And I want to tell him about the fake cake. And I want to laugh with him. And I want to hug him. And I love him." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are a good helper and a good daughter. And you have a good sense of humor. Just like your dad." +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to help their mom in the garden. Mom gives them a big bag of bulbs. Bulbs are things that grow into flowers. + +"Look, Ben, this bulb is red. It will be a tulip," Lily says. She holds the bulb in her hand. + +"I like yellow bulbs. They will be daffodils," Ben says. He holds a yellow bulb in his hand. + +Mom shows them how to dig holes and plant the bulbs. "We have to cover them with dirt and water them. Then they will sleep until spring. When the sun is warm, they will wake up and grow. They will be healthy and beautiful," Mom says. + +Ben and Lily nod. They dig and plant and water. They are happy to help Mom. They can't wait to see the flowers. They hope the bulbs will like their new home. +Sara was very happy. She had an invitation to go to Lily's birthday party. The invitation was yellow and had a picture of a cake and balloons. Sara liked cake and balloons.

They liked to pretend they were soldiers and fight the bad guys. + +"Look, Tim, there is a bad guy hiding behind the tree!" Sam said, pointing with his tank. "Let's destroy him!" + +"OK, Sam, let's go!" Tim said, following his friend with his tank. They made loud noises and shot balls at the tree. + +But the bad guy was not really a bad guy. It was their dog, Rex, who was sleeping under the shade. Rex woke up when he heard the noise and felt the balls hitting him. He was scared and angry. He jumped out from behind the tree and barked at the boys. + +"Rex, no!" Tim and Sam shouted. They dropped their tanks and ran away. Rex chased them around the backyard, still barking. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Sam cried. They ran to the door and knocked. Their mom opened the door and saw them. + +"What's going on, boys?" she asked. + +"Rex is mad at us! He wants to destroy us!" Tim and Sam said. + +"Rex, stop!" their mom said. She called Rex and gave him a treat. Rex stopped barking and wagged his tail. He licked their mom's hand. + +"Boys, why did you scare Rex?" their mom asked. + +"We were playing with our tanks. We thought he was a bad guy," Tim and Sam said. + +"Rex is not a bad guy. He is your friend. You should not shoot him with your tanks. That hurts him and makes him scared. You should be nice to him and play with him," their mom said. + +"We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Rex," Tim and Sam said. + +They hugged Rex and apologized. Rex licked their faces and forgave them. They decided to play with Rex instead of their tanks. They had fun and learned a lesson. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big cooler near a bench. They ran to the cooler and opened it. Inside, they found many shiny things. + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. She picked up a silver spoon and a gold ring. "They are so pretty!" + +Max grabbed a brass key and a copper coin. "They are not pretty. They are dirty and dull. They need polish." + +"Polish? What is polish?" Lily asked. + +"Polish is something that makes things shiny. My mom has polish at home. She uses it on her shoes and her jewelry. We can take these things home and polish them. Then they will be pretty too." Max said. + +"Okay, let's do that. But we have to be slow and careful. We don't want anyone to see us. These things are not ours. They belong to someone else." Lily said. + +They put the things in their pockets and closed the cooler. They looked around and saw no one. They walked slowly and quietly to the gate. They were almost out of the park when they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! Stop right there! What are you doing with my stuff?" It was the owner of the cooler. He was a big man with a red face and a black hat. He ran after them. + +Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the things and ran as fast as they could. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not want to polish the things anymore. They just wanted to go home. +Sara and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make yummy food. Sara has a big pot and Ben has a spoon. They fill the pot with water from the faucet and add some salt and pepper. + +"Look, we are making soup!" Sara says. "It smells good!" + +Ben nods and stirs the pot. He sees a cute mouse on the floor. It has brown fur and a long tail. It is looking for food. Ben likes mice. He wants to pet it. + +"Hey, Sara, look at the mouse!" Ben says. He puts down the spoon and goes to the mouse. + +Sara looks at the mouse too. She does not like mice. She thinks they are dirty and scary. She screams and jumps on a chair. + +"Ben, get away from the mouse!" Sara says. "It will bite you!" + +Ben does not listen. He reaches out his hand to the mouse. The mouse is not afraid. It sniffs Ben's hand and nibbles his finger. Ben giggles. + +"Ow, that tickles!" Ben says. "The mouse is friendly!" + +Sara realizes that the mouse is not so bad. It is just hungry and curious. She gets down from the chair and goes to Ben. + +"Can I pet the mouse too?" Sara says. + +Ben smiles and nods. He shares the mouse with Sara. They both pet the mouse gently. The mouse likes them. It squeaks and wags its tail. + +"Maybe we can give the mouse some soup," Ben says. + +"Okay, but only a little bit," Sara says. + +They take the pot from the stove and pour some soup in a bowl. They put the bowl on the floor and watch the mouse eat. The mouse is happy. Sara and Ben are happy too. They have a new friend. +Jen and Sam love to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of soap and a wand that makes many bubbles. They blow and catch and pop the bubbles in the park. They laugh and have fun. + +But Jen has a friend who cannot hear. His name is Ben. He is deaf. He can see and talk with his hands, but he cannot hear the bubbles pop. Jen wants to share her bubbles with Ben. She thinks of a way to make him happy. + +She tells Sam her plan. "Let's make big bubbles for Ben. He can feel them pop on his skin. He can see the colors and shapes. Maybe he can smell the soap too. Then he can play with us." + +Sam likes the idea. He helps Jen make big bubbles. They call Ben and wave their hands. Ben comes and sees the bubbles. He smiles and reaches out. He feels a bubble pop on his hand. He feels another one on his nose. He giggles and claps his hands. + +Jen and Sam are happy too. They blow more bubbles for Ben. They play and talk with their hands. They are good friends. They love bubbles and each other. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals, but their favorite was a sheep named Fluffy. Fluffy was very soft and friendly, and he always followed them around. + +One day, Sam and Ben saw a sign that said "Cheap Sheep for Sale". They wanted to buy another sheep to play with Fluffy, so they asked their dad for some money. Their dad said no, because they already had enough animals, and they had to save money for other things. + +Sam and Ben were sad, but they had an idea. They decided to sneak out and buy a cheap sheep with their own money. They found a man who sold them a sheep for very little money. They were happy, until they saw the sheep. It was skinny, dirty, and sick. It did not look like Fluffy at all. + +They tried to take the sheep home, but it was too heavy and slow. They had to drag it along the road, and it made a lot of noise. Fluffy heard the noise and came to see what was going on. He saw the cheap sheep and did not like it. He started to baa loudly and run away. + +Sam and Ben felt bad. They realized they had made a mistake. They did not want to hurt Fluffy or the cheap sheep. They decided to take the cheap sheep back to the man and ask for their money back. But the man was gone. He had tricked them and left with their money. + +Sam and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that cheap things are not always good, and that they should listen to their dad. They also learned that they should support Fluffy, because he was their friend and he loved them. They hugged Fluffy and said they were sorry. Fluffy forgave them and licked their faces. They all went back to the farm and played happily. +Tom and Lily are friends.

They don't know how. + +They hear a voice from the screen. It is the game. The game says: "Sorry, there was a problem. The frog is not normal. Please put it back in the screen." + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They don't know what to do. They are afraid of the frog. The frog is not normal. It is big and green and slimy. It croaks loudly. + +They decide to try to catch the frog. They get a box and a net. They chase the frog around the room. The frog is fast and smart. It jumps over the box and under the net.

They wish they had never played with the frog. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it. + +"Me first!" Sara says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She laughs and feels happy. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He follows Sara and slides down. But he slides too fast and falls on the grass. He gets a brown mark on his pants. He feels sad and hurts his knee. + +"Ha ha, look at you!" Sara says. She points at Ben's pants and laughs.

It will go away. You are not dirty. You are brave." + +Sara's mom hears Ben's mom. She comes to Sara and talks to her. "Sara, you should not laugh at Ben. He is your friend. He had an accident.

What is your name?" + +The bird does not answer. It just tilts its head and makes a soft sound. It sounds like "coo, coo, coo". + +Lily and Ben think the bird is friendly. They smile and wave at it. They say "coo, coo, coo" back. + +The bird flaps its wings and flies away. It leaves a trail of white feathers in the air. + +Lily and Ben watch the bird go. They feel happy and peaceful.

I need it for my car," Ben said. + +"No, Ben. I want the red crayon for my sun. It is more pretty," Lily said. + +They both pulled the crayon and started to disagree. They did not want to share. They did not want to use other colors. They did not want to draw something else. + +"Stop it, Ben and Lily. You are being silly," Mom said. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the crayon in their hands. She saw the paper on the floor. She saw something else that made her angry. + +"Look what you did! You drew on the wall! That is very bad. That is very dangerous. You could hurt the wall. You could hurt yourself. You could make a mess," Mom said. + +She took the crayon from them and gave them a time out.

"The rice is not ours. Someone may come back for it." + +But Tom does not listen. He is foolish. He raises his hand and grabs a handful of rice. He puts it in his mouth. + +"Yuck!" Tom spits out the rice. "This rice is not good. It is hard and dry." + +Sue laughs. "That is not rice, Tom. That is bird food. You ate bird food!" + +Tom feels silly.

You are foolish to ask me. Now go away or I will push you hard." + +He walked to Tim and Sue and raised his hand. He was ready to push them. But then he tripped on a root and fell down.

Let's get some more snow and make him bigger," Ben said. + +They started to scoop up snow and pile it on the snowman. They did not see their parent coming out of the house. Their parent was angry.

He held it in his hand and walked slowly to the tree. + +"Maybe we can give it a nut," Tom said. "Then it will know we are nice and we like it." + +Lily smiled. She followed Tom to the tree. They stood under the branch where the squirrel was. They held out their nuts and made soft noises. + +The squirrel looked at them. It was curious. It saw the nuts in their hands. It sniffed the air.
