Mummy smiled and said, "Yes it was, wasn't it. Now let's keep looking at the beautiful sky and relax together!" +So that's what they did, Lucy and Mummy, until the sun set and the stars started to twinkle in the night sky. +Once upon a time, there was a fox.

Once there, he spread the flags out on the grass and started to tie them together. + +Suddenly, a man approached him. He said, "Look, you can't do this here. That's not allowed. Put the flags away, before something bad happens." + +But Dave was too busy to listen. He just wanted to finish bringing his flags together. He continued to carefully unite them. + +Just then, a gust of wind came and blew all the flags away. Dave chased after them, but it was too late. All of his flags were gone. + +Dave was heartbroken. He realised he should have been more careful. +One sunny day, a little girl wanted to play outside. She grabbed her stuffed bunny and sat on the porch steps. Suddenly, a huge bird flew down. The bird had a long neck and giant feathers that were colorful and pretty. + +The girl was a tiny bit scared, but she was brave. She asked the bird: "Are you here to play with me?" The bird didn't answer, but it stepped closer to her. + +The girl saw something interesting. It was a stamp! She picked it up, and looked at it carefully. It had a picture of a heart and some special words written in blue. She asked: "What does this say?" + +The bird smiled, and said: "It says, 'love is forever.'" The girl smiled and asked: "Can I keep it?". The bird nodded and flew away. + +The girl was so excited. She went inside and showed her stamp to her parents.

Clara was very disappointed. + +Mum: “That bracelet wasn't real so I couldn't let you buy it." + +Clara: “But Mum, it looked so pretty." + +Mum: “It is pretty Clara, but it isn't real gold, it's fake. I need to lock away my special bracelet so that it won't get lost or broken.†+ +Clara sighed and said goodbye to the bracelet.

Her mom was very sad and said: "Let's pray that it doesn't hurt too much." + +The puppy and the kitten nodded, then bowed their heads and closed their eyes.

He tried jumping, hopping, and springing but he just couldn't get any higher than the pond he lived in. + +One day a big fish saw his attempts and said, "I can help you fly!" The fish started to blow big bubbles that he told the shrimp to get in. As soon as the shrimp stepped inside the bubbles started to float up into the sky carrying him higher and higher and higher. + +He floated around the sky and was so excited. Everywhere he looked was a beautiful blue sky and fluffy white clouds. The shrimp had so much fun! Eventually the bubbles floated back down to the pond and the shrimp got out, but now he knew how to fly all by himself! +Once upon a time there was a little bunny named Bob. Bob was very gifted. He was always so much fun to be around. + +One day, Bob was playing in the garden and he found a magic bean. He had never seen a bean quite like it before. It was glowing a bright green color. + +Bob wanted to show his friends the bean, so he decided to put it in his pocket and take it with him. + +When Bob arrived at his friend's house, all of his friends were terrified of the bean. They started screaming, "What is that?" Bob was surprised to see his friends so scared of a bean. He said, "It's just a bean - it won't hurt you. I think it's special." + +The moral of the story is that it's important to not let fear take control and to understand that special and different things in life can be a good thing. Bob was gifted and he showed his friends that things that may seem unfamiliar or strange can actually be really special. +Once upon a time there was a cute puppy called Bobbie. Bobbie was searching for something special so he wandered around the meadow. He found a safe but it was locked and he couldn't open it. + +Bobbie was getting sad and so he decided to keep looking. Suddenly he heard a noise coming from behind a tree and he followed it. He found a little rabbit and realized it must have been the noise he heard. Bobbie thought that the rabbit was so cute. + +Bobbie kept going and soon he found another safe. He was determined to find out what was inside, so he found a key and tried it on the safe. He was so excited when it opened - inside was what Bobbie had been searching for! + +The little rabbit Bobbie had found before had been hiding the key to the safe the whole time. Bobbie was so happy he had finally found his special something and thanked the unsuspecting little rabbit for helping him. +Once there was a little boy named Jake. He wanted to go on a boat ride, so he asked his mom. + +“Mom, can I go on a boat?†he asked. + +His mom thought for a moment and then said, “Yes, you can, but you must be careful.†+ +So Jake hopped on the navy boat and he was so excited! He set off in the sunny waters. But soon, he started to feel a bit scared. + +He looked up and saw a bigger boat heading his way. He paused and felt a little ashamed as he knew he should have been more careful. + +He quickly started paddling back to the shore.

Suddenly he saw a little girl. She was only three years old and she was the one who wrote the poem. + +The old man was so angry that he wanted to hurt the little girl. He raised his hand to strike her but luckily her mother saw him. She shouted and chased the old man away. + +The old man didn't get to hurt the little girl, but he still had a bad ending. He was never seen again. +Once upon a time, there was a little leak. It came out of the ground and wanted to find out where it was going. It asked the other leaks around it, but no one seemed to know. + +Then, it saw a nosy little bird. The bird seemed very curious and asked lots of questions. The leak was excited and asked the bird, “Where am I going?†+ +The bird thought for a moment and said “I don’t know, but maybe you can find out!†+ +So, the leak kept going and asking questions. Finally, it found out that it would eventually reach a lake. The leak was so happy to have an answer.

The cat meowed in thanks and purred happily. + +Suddenly, Bob shouted "Help! My boat is sinking!" Jane ran over and saw Bob in the water. Jane quickly grabbed Bob's hand and pulled him into her boat. She worked hard to save him. + +When all was safe, Jane and Bob shared a hug. They thanked each other for the help and all was well. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Daisy who was very scared of snow. Every time even the smallest flake of snow touched her skin, she became fearful and worried. + +One cold day, Daisy was so scared of the snow that she wouldn't go outside. Her mom sat down beside her and said, “We should make a plan to help you improve your snow fear. What can we do?†+ +Daisy thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s start by trying to throw a snowball. Then, maybe I won't be scared anymore.†So Daisy and her mom put on their jackets and went outside. Daisy was still a bit scared, but her mom was there with her, so she took a deep breath and threw the snowball. + +Daisy and her mom had a great time making snow angels and snow men. After each time, Daisy felt a little less scared of the snow. Slowly but surely, Daisy's fear of the snow began to improve. + +At the end of the day, Daisy was feeling much better about the snow. She hugged her mom and said, “Thank you for helping me improve!†Her mom smiled and replied, “I’m glad I could help you. Now let’s get inside and warm up!†+ +The End +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Tim. He was only three years old. One day Tim wanted to go outside and play in the sun. He put on his red shoes and went out. He looked around and saw a round ball. It was dry to the touch. + +He picked up the ball and wanted to use it. He started rolling it on the grass. He chased it around and laughed. He used his feet and hands to push it around. Soon he saw a tree and decided to use the ball to get to the top. + +He started kicking the ball and using it as a step. He used the round ball to make his way up the tree. After he had finished he looked down and was proud of himself. He had used the dry ball in a very clever way. He picked up his ball and went inside for dinner. +Once upon a time, there was a family with two small children.

"Yes, we will go," said Dad. + +The children jumped for joy! They all raced to their bedroom and started to pack their luggage. The brother put on his special hat and the sister put on her special dress. + +The family left for their adventure. They travelled for a few hours but then the car suddenly stopped. + +"What is wrong?" asked the brother and sister. + +Dad looked glum and said, "The car has a bad problem and we can't go any further." + +The children looked disappointed but the parents said they would find a way home. As they waited, the brother and the sister thought of all the fun adventures they could have had. + +Suddenly, a big truck stopped and the driver said, "You look like you need some help!" He loaded their luggage into the truck and drove them back home. + +The family said goodbye and promised they would go on an adventure soon, and they all lived happily ever after. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sadie. She was a cheerful three-year-old with a lot of curiosity. One day, she decided to go out for a walk. + +As she made her way down the street, she noticed a big gorilla walking in front of her. She was fascinated and decided to follow it. + +She followed the gorilla for what felt like hours until the sun was setting. The gorilla turned around and noticed her. When the gorilla saw her, it made a loud noise and ran away. + +Sadie was confused. She had been following the gorilla and she couldn't understand why it ran away. She didn't know what to do. + +Suddenly, she heard her mom calling her name. "Sadie, come home! It's getting dark!†Sadie realized where she was and ran back home. + +When she arrived home, Sadie told her mom about the big gorilla and how confused she had been. Her mom said, “It's okay, we will visit the gorilla again together. But for now, it’s time for dinner.†+ +Sadie smiled. She felt excited to visit the gorilla with her mom. She was no longer confused. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Jim and Joe. Jim was fat, while Joe was thin. One day they decided to go on a long walk together. + +Jim wanted to take a short cut, but Joe said it was too risky. They both decided that it was best to go the safe way round. + +On the way they found a goal. Jim wanted to try and kick a ball into it, while Joe just wanted to keep walking. After lots of arguing, Joe allowed Jim to have a go at kicking the ball into the goal. + +Jim was able to score, and was very happy! Joe now realised that it was a good idea to allow Jim to try for the goal. + +The moral of this story is that allowing one another to achieve their goals can make us both happy! +Once there was a poor little mouse. She was always feeling sad and lonely and had no one to comfort her. + +One day, while she was feeling especially low, a kind and gentle fox appeared. He asked her why she seemed so sad, and she explained her troubles to him. The fox then gave her a wonderful hug and said encouraging words to her. + +At first, she was scared to hug him back because she couldn't believe someone so kind and generous wanted to help her. But then she felt his warmth and knew he was sincere. It filled her with joy. + +The fox said, "Whenever you are feeling sad and alone, just remember that somebody will always be here to comfort you." + +The moral of the story is that kindness and compassion can be found even in the poorest of places. No matter what, someone is always willing to lend a helping hand - you just have to open your heart. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Joy. She was a very curious child. She always wanted to explore the world. One day, Joy found a mysterious knob on the floor. She wanted to know what it was. + +She picked up the knob and held it in her hand. She wondered what it could do. Suddenly, Joy noticed something special. When she held the knob and stood really still, she would feel powerful.

Whenever she felt sad or scared, she would take out the knob and stand still. It would make her feel strong and brave. + +Joy was so glad she had found the mysterious knob. She knew it would always be her special companion and help her in times of need. +Once upon a time there was a car. It was fast, and it could go really quickly. But it didn't know that it was not allowed on the road. So it drove in the traffic, close to all the other cars. At first it was happy, but soon it got in trouble. + +The car was going too fast and it bumped into another car. It was a big crash, and it made all the cars stop. The car was sad it had made a mess. But the other cars on the road weren't happy either. + +Soon the car's owner saw what was happening. He came and told the car it wasn't allowed on the road. He said it had to stay off the traffic from then on. The car felt badly, and it learned a lesson. + +From that day, the car was careful about the traffic. It went slow, even on the roads it could go on. That way, it would never destroy other cars, or get in trouble again. +The sun shined brightly as Joe, a 3-year-old, headed outside with a shovel in one hand and a novel in the other. “Where are you going, Joe?†his mom asked. + +“I'm going to bury my book,†Joe replied. He was excited yet scared all at the same time. + +His mom looked at him curiously. “Why do you want to bury it?†+ +“It'll be a surprise,†Joe said with a twinkle in his eye. + +Joe found the perfect spot in the backyard and had just enough time before his friends arrived. He carefully buried his book, patting the dirt down as he went. When he was done, he ran inside to put the shovel away. + +As Joe waited for his friends, he felt a thrill of excitement, but he was still scared. What if no one could find his buried book? + +Soon, all the children had arrived. Joe was happy that everyone was excited about the digging game. He had created the game so everyone could help him find the buried novel. They took turns with the shovel, digging and laughing, until finally- ‘Eureka’!

From then on, it remained loyal and never complained about anything ever again. +Once upon a time there was a boat. The boat was big and bouncy and it had a thick anchor. + +The boat was filled with a group of friends. They were all on a very special adventure. + +The sun was shining and the sea was blue and calm. The friends were having so much fun. + +Suddenly, the boat started to wobble! It looked like they were in trouble. + +The friends all held hands and began to count. They counted to three and made a wish. + +Suddenly, the thick anchor on the boat started to move. It was going down into the sea and it was getting bigger and bigger. + +The anchor kept getting bigger and bigger until it was nice and strong. + +The anchor had saved the day and the friends cheered. They all knew that the thick anchor had saved their special adventure. +Once upon a time, there was an ancient sport. Two teams were playing, and it was very exciting.

No one ever saw them again. +One day, a girl named Sarah was walking in the park. She was careful not to trip on the stones. She spotted a big tree and decided to climb up it. As she was climbing, her belt got caught on a branch. Sarah tried to tug at it, but it wouldn't budge. + +Just then, Sarah heard a loud noise. It was coming from the ground beneath her. She peered down and saw that something was pushing through the dirt. A moment later, a bright yellow flower sprung up from the ground.

You can't come in here!" said the voice inside. + +Alexander was scared and he ran away. He kept running until he got thirsty and exhausted. Sadly, Alexander was never seen again. +In a small village there lived a beautiful princess. She was very attractive and had many admirers. One day a young man approached the princess and shared with her a poem he had written. He asked her to be his companion, but she sadly refused. + +The princess was not trying to be cruel. She had noticed something strange about him and could sense his suffering. She was too kind-hearted to accept his proposal. + +Years later, after the death of the man, the princess learned of his final secret. He had suffered the heartbreak of unrequited love for the princess for many years. Her refusal to marry him had been a heavy burden for him to carry. + +The princess was overcome with emotion and dedicated a poem to him, out of respect and admiration for the man she had unknowingly hurt.

They both watched the beautiful firework light up the sky above them. + +After the firework, Jimbo and his mommy spent some time playing in the grass and picking flowers. There was one particularly pretty purple flower that Jimbo wanted to bring home. + +Soon enough, the sun began to set and Jimbo grew tired so his mommy picked him up and carried him home.

How about you trade your toys instead of selling them? That way, you can both enjoy different toys and have fun together." Sara and Ben think that is a good idea. They put away their signs and their paper money. They look at each other's toys and smile. They say, "Okay, Mom. Okay, Sara. Okay, Ben." They trade their toys and play happily. They make the train go fast or slow, and they make it stop at different stations. They have fun making noises like "choo-choo" and "ding-ding". +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom. Her mom worked at a farm where they grew many fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, Lily helped her mom pick the fruits and put them in baskets. Lily's favorite fruit was peach. She liked how it was soft and sweet and juicy. + +One day, Lily's mom told her they had to deliver some peaches to their neighbor, Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee was an old man who lived alone and liked to make pies. Lily was happy to go with her mom, because she liked Mr. Lee and his pies. She took a big basket of peaches and followed her mom to his house. + +But when they got there, they saw that Mr. Lee's door was closed and his windows were dark. Lily's mom knocked on the door, but no one answered. Lily's mom looked worried. She said, "Maybe Mr. Lee is sick or asleep. Let's leave the peaches on his porch and come back later to check on him." + +Lily nodded, but she felt sad. She wanted to see Mr. Lee and give him a hug. She hoped he was okay. She put the basket of peaches on his porch and wrote a note with her crayon. She wrote, "Dear Mr. Lee, we brought you some peaches. We hope you like them and feel better soon. Love, Lily and Mom." + +Then, Lily and her mom went back to their farm. Lily prayed for Mr. Lee and wished he would wake up and make a pie. She wondered if he would share it with her. She smiled and thought, maybe he would. +Lily and Ben were happy to go to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also liked to see the ducks and the squirrels. + +"Look, Mom, a vendor!" Ben said, pointing to a man with a cart. He had ice cream, popcorn and candy. "Can we have some, please?" + +"Sure, you can have one treat each. But first, let's wash our hands at the fountain," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the fountain and splashed their hands with water. Then they went to the vendor and looked at his cart. + +"I want ice cream, chocolate flavor," Lily said. + +"I want popcorn, cheese flavor," Ben said. + +The vendor smiled and gave them their treats. He also gave them napkins. + +"Thank you, vendor," Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your treats and have fun at the park," the vendor said. + +Lily and Ben walked back to Mom with their treats. They sat on a bench and ate them. The ice cream was cold and sweet. The popcorn was warm and cheesy. + +"This is yummy," Lily said. + +"This is crunchy," Ben said. + +They finished their treats and threw the napkins in the trash. Then they went back to play. + +The park was fun. The vendor was nice. The treats were good. But the best part was being with Mom. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to follow the big yellow truck that makes noise and moves dirt. The truck has a lot of equipment on it, like a shovel, a bucket and a hook. Tom and Lily pretend they are the truck drivers and make sounds like the truck. + +One day, the truck stops near a big hole. The truck driver gets out and goes to talk to a man. Tom and Lily see a shiny thing in the hole. They want to see what it is. They run to the hole and look inside. It is a metal box with a lock on it. + +Tom and Lily are curious. They try to open the box, but it is too hard. They look for something to break the lock. They see the hook on the truck. They think it can help them. They climb on the truck and pull the hook. The hook comes loose and falls on the ground. + +The truck driver hears the noise and turns around. He sees Tom and Lily on the truck and the hook on the ground. He is angry and scared. He runs to the truck and shouts at them. He tells them to get off the truck and stay away from the hole. He says the hole and the box are dangerous and the equipment is not a toy. + +Tom and Lily are sorry and scared. They get off the truck and run to their mom. They tell her what happened and say they are sorry. Their mom hugs them and says they are safe, but they should never follow the truck or touch the equipment again. She says they can play with their own toys and have fun in the park. Tom and Lily agree and say they will be careful. They go to the swings and slide and forget about the hole and the box. +Tom and Jen liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Sometimes they pretended to be drivers and went on trips. + +One day, they decided to go to the distant park with their cars. They packed some snacks and water in a bag. They also took a can of gas. They said it was for their cars, but it was really just water. They wanted to make their game more fun. + +They walked a long way to the park. They saw many things on the way. They saw birds and dogs and flowers and trees. They also saw a big truck. It was loading boxes into its back. Tom and Jen stopped to watch. They thought the truck was cool. + +They asked the truck driver what he was doing. He said he was loading books for the library. He said he had to hurry because he had a lot of books to deliver. He said he had to fill his truck with gas before he left. He pointed to a gas station across the street. + +Tom and Jen had an idea. They said they wanted to help the truck driver. They said they had some gas for him. They ran to get their can of water. They poured some water into the truck's gas tank. They thought they were being helpful. They did not know they were making a big mistake. + +The truck driver thanked them and gave them a smile. He did not see what they had done. He got into his truck and started the engine. He drove away. Tom and Jen waved goodbye. They were proud of themselves. + +But soon they heard a loud bang. They turned around and saw smoke and fire. The truck had stopped in the middle of the street. The water had mixed with the gas and made the engine explode. The books were burning. The truck driver was scared and angry. He shouted for help. + +Tom and Jen were shocked and scared. They realized they had done something bad. They dropped their cars and ran away. They did not go to the park. They went home and hid under their bed. They hoped no one would find them. They learned a lesson. They learned not to play with gas. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Max. One day, they find a zip in their mom's drawer. They think it is shiny and fun. + +"Let's play with the zip!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They take the zip and run to their room. They try to zip and unzip their clothes, their pillows, and their blankets. They laugh and giggle. + +Max sees them and wants to join. He jumps on the bed and sniffs the zip. He thinks it is a snack. He grabs the zip with his teeth and runs away. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Lily shouts. + +"Come back, Max!" Ben cries. + +They chase Max around the house. They are anxious. They don't want to lose the zip. They don't want to make mom angry. + +They catch Max in the kitchen. He is trying to feed the zip to his bowl. He drops the zip when he sees them. + +"Bad dog!" Lily scolds. + +"Sorry, Max," Ben says. + +They pick up the zip and hug Max. They are happy they found the zip. They are sorry they made Max sad. + +They decide to put the zip back in mom's drawer. They don't want to play with it anymore. They want to play with Max. They feed him a biscuit and pet him. He wags his tail and licks their faces. They smile and cuddle. + +They are good twins. They are good friends. They love their dog. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, Tom came to Anna's house. He saw a big fireplace in the living room. It was cold outside, so the fireplace had fire. The fire was orange and warm. + +"Wow, your fireplace is nice!" Tom said. "Can I sit near it?" + +"Sure, you can sit near it," Anna said. "But be careful, don't touch the fire. It can hurt you." + +"OK, I won't touch the fire," Tom said. He sat on the floor and looked at the fire. He saw a red truck on the shelf. He liked trucks. He wanted to play with it. + +"Anna, can you lend me your truck?" Tom asked. "I like trucks. They are fun." + +"OK, I can lend you my truck," Anna said. "But you have to give it back to me later. It is my favorite truck." + +"OK, I will give it back to you later," Tom said. He took the truck and made vroom-vroom noises. He drove the truck on the floor and pretended it was a fire truck. + +Anna smiled and watched Tom play. She was happy to share her truck with her friend. She took a book and read it. She liked books. They had stories and pictures. + +Tom and Anna had a good time. They played with the truck and the book. They sat near the fireplace and felt warm. They were happy to be friends. +Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma, who lived far away. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Lily wanted to bring her favorite rug, the one with the flowers and the birds. She put it in her bag and zipped it up. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Mom asked. "We have to leave soon." + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily and Tom said. They carried their bags to the car and put them in the trunk. Mom drove them to the train station, where they got on a big train. The train was fast and loud, and it made Lily and Tom excited. + +They looked out the window and saw many things: houses, trees, fields, cows, sheep, bridges, rivers. They also saw other trains passing by, some going the same way and some going the other way. They waved at the people in the other trains, and some of them waved back. + +After a long time, the train stopped at a small station. Mom said, "This is where we get off. Come on, kids, let's get our bags." Lily and Tom followed Mom to the trunk and took out their bags. Lily felt something heavy in her bag and remembered her rug. She smiled and hugged it. + +They walked out of the station and saw a familiar face. It was Grandma, waiting for them with a big smile. She was elderly, but she looked happy and kind. She wore a blue dress and a hat with a flower. + +"Hello, my darlings!" Grandma said. "I'm so glad you're here. Give me a hug!" + +Lily and Tom ran to Grandma and hugged her. Grandma kissed them and said, "You must be tired from the trip. Come on, let's go to my house. I have cookies and milk for you." + +They followed Grandma to her car, which was old and small. Grandma put their bags in the back seat and said, "Lily, you can sit next to me. Tom, you can sit behind me. Buckle up, please." + +They got in the car and buckled up. Grandma started the car and drove away from the station. Lily looked at Grandma and said, "Grandma, I brought you something. It's in my bag. It's a rug. It's my favorite rug. I want you to have it." + +Grandma looked at Lily and smiled. She said, "That's very sweet of you, Lily. Thank you. I'm sure it's a beautiful rug. I can't wait to see it. But you know what? I have something for you, too. It's also in my house. It's also a rug. It's my favorite rug. I want you to have it." + +Lily gasped and said, "Really, Grandma? You have a rug for me? What does it look like?" + +Grandma said, "You'll see when we get there. It's a surprise. But I'll give you a hint. It has something to do with flowers and birds." + +Lily's eyes widened and she said, "Flowers and birds? Just like my rug?" + +Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, just like your rug. But there's more to it. You'll see. It's a very special rug. It's a rug that tells a story. A story about me and you." +Lily and Ben like to play with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog who likes to run and jump. One day, Lily and Ben want to make a cake for their mom. They ask Spot to help them. + +"Spot, we need to mix the eggs and the flour and the sugar," Lily says. "Can you hold the bowl with your paws?" + +Spot barks and nods. He is a good dog. He holds the bowl on the floor while Lily and Ben pour the ingredients. They use a big spoon to mix everything. + +"Good job, Spot!" Ben says. "You are a great helper. Now we need to put the cake in the oven. But we have to be careful. The oven is very hot." + +Lily and Ben put on oven mitts and lift the bowl. They walk slowly to the oven. Spot follows them with his tail wagging. He wants to see the cake. + +But then, Spot sees a squirrel outside the window. He forgets about the cake. He runs to the window and barks. He pulls his leash from the hook on the wall. + +"Spot, no!" Lily and Ben shout. "Come back!" + +But Spot does not listen. He runs out the door with his leash dragging behind him. He chases the squirrel across the yard. + +Lily and Ben drop the bowl. The cake mix spills on the floor. They run after Spot. They are worried. They hope he does not get lost or hurt. + +"Spot, come back!" they call. "We love you!" + +Will Spot come back? Will Lily and Ben make a new cake? What will their mom say? The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. It is orange and shiny. They both want to go on the slide. + +"Me first!" Lily says. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. + +"No, me first!" Ben says. He runs after Lily and tries to push her. + +"Stop!" Lily says. "That is not nice. You have to share." + +"But I want to go on the slide too!" Ben says. He is sad and angry. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"How about we go on the slide together?" she says. "We can hold hands and slide down. It will be fun." + +Ben smiles. He likes Lily's idea. + +"Okay, let's do that!" he says. He holds Lily's hand and they sit on the slide. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. They slide down the orange slide. They laugh and scream. They have a lot of fun. + +They share the slide and they are happy. They are good friends. +Lily and Max liked to play in the park. They ran, jumped, and swung on the swings. But their favorite thing was the slide. They climbed up the ladder and slid down the shiny metal. They laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a fountain. Water sprayed out of it and made a big splash. Lily and Max wanted to see it closer. They ran to the fountain and touched the water. It was cold and wet. They giggled and splashed each other. + +But then, Lily felt something uncomfortable. She looked at her dress. It was wet and sticky. She had spilled juice on it before they came to the park. Now the water made it worse. She felt cold and dirty. She started to cry. + +Max saw Lily crying and felt sorry. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. We can go home and change. Mommy will wash your dress and make it clean and dry. Don't be sad." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She hugged Max back and said, "Thank you, Max. You are a good brother. I love you." + +They held hands and walked to their mommy. She saw their wet clothes and said, "Oh, you two. Did you have fun in the fountain?" They nodded and told her what happened. She smiled and said, "That's all right. Let's go home and get you some warm clothes. You can play in the fountain another day." + +Lily and Max were happy. They liked the park and the slide and the fountain. But they liked their mommy and each other more. They were a happy family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big barrel near the slide. It is brown and round and has a hole on the side. + +"Let's go inside the barrel!" Tom says. He is brave and curious. He runs to the barrel and crawls in. He sees the sky and the grass through the hole. + +"Come on, Lily!" he calls. "It is fun in here!" + +Lily is nervous. She does not like small and dark places. She walks slowly to the barrel. She looks at the hole. She sees Tom's face and hears his voice. + +"Are you sure, Tom?" she asks. "Is it safe in there?" + +"Yes, Lily, it is safe. Don't be scared. I am here with you." Tom says. He smiles and reaches out his hand. + +Lily takes a deep breath. She holds Tom's hand and crawls in. She feels the barrel move a little. She gasps and closes her eyes. + +"It is okay, Lily. The barrel is just rolling a bit. It is like a ride." Tom says. He hugs Lily and makes her feel better. + +Lily opens her eyes. She sees the sky and the grass through the hole. She feels Tom's hug and hears his voice. She relaxes and smiles. + +"Maybe you are right, Tom. Maybe it is fun in here." she says. + +They giggle and talk and play in the barrel. They are happy and forget to be nervous. They are friends. +Tom was a curious boy who liked to explore new things. One day, he saw a big white thing in the kitchen that looked like a flower. He asked his mom what it was. + +"That's a cauliflower, Tom. It's a vegetable that you can eat. Do you want to try some?" his mom said. + +Tom nodded and took a small piece of the cauliflower. He put it in his mouth and made a face. He did not like it. It was bitter and hard. He spat it out and ran away. + +His mom sighed and followed him. She found him in the bathroom, playing with the water. He was splashing the water with his hands and making a big mess. + +"Tom, what are you doing? You can't splash the water like that. You'll make the floor wet and slippery. You could fall and hurt yourself. And you're wasting water. Water is precious and we need to save it," his mom said. + +Tom looked at his mom and felt sorry. He did not mean to be naughty. He just wanted to have fun. He said sorry to his mom and helped her clean up the water. + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I know you're curious and you like to learn new things. But you have to be careful and respectful. Sometimes, things are not what they seem. The cauliflower may look like a flower, but it's not. And the water may look like a toy, but it's not. You have to try things before you judge them. And you have to use things wisely and not waste them. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'll be more careful and respectful. And I'll try the cauliflower again. Maybe I'll like it better next time." + +His mom kissed him and said, "That's a good boy. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go and have some lunch. I have a surprise for you. It's something sweet and soft and yummy. Do you want to guess what it is?" + +Tom's eyes lit up and he said, "Is it cake?" + +His mom laughed and said, "Yes, it is. But it's a special cake. It has a secret ingredient. Do you want to know what it is?" + +Tom nodded eagerly and said, "Yes, mom. What is it?" + +His mom whispered in his ear, "It's cauliflower." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, Lily saw a shiny ball on the shelf. She wanted to play with it, but it was too high for her to reach. + +"Ben, can you pass me the ball?" she asked her brother. + +"No, it's mine. You can't have it," Ben said. He was being selfish and mean. + +"Please, Ben, I just want to see it. You can have it back," Lily said. She was being polite and nice. + +"No, go away. Find your own toy," Ben said. He was being rude and nasty. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't like how Ben treated her. She decided to go upstairs and play by herself. She hoped to find something better than the ball. + +She went to her room and opened her toy box. She saw a lot of toys that she liked. She saw a doll, a puzzle, a book, and a teddy bear. She smiled and picked up the teddy bear. She hugged it and felt happy. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was Ben. He looked sorry and scared. + +"Lily, can I come in?" he asked. + +"Why? What do you want?" Lily asked. + +"I want to say sorry. I was wrong to be mean to you. I want to share the ball with you. Can we play together?" Ben asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She was still hurt by Ben's words, but she also missed him. She remembered that he was her brother and that she loved him. She decided to forgive him and be kind. + +"Okay, Ben. You can come in. But you have to be nice and fair. And you have to say please and thank you," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry, Lily. I will be a good brother," Ben said. + +They hugged and smiled. They went downstairs and played with the ball and the other toys. They had more fun than before. They learned to share and care. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Being selfish and mean makes you lonely and unhappy. Being polite and nice makes you happy and loved. +Sara and Ben love to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing is to step on the crunchy leaves. They make a loud noise when they step on them. It is fun! + +One day, they see an enormous pile of leaves. It is bigger than a car. Sara and Ben are excited. They run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and giggle as they sink into the leaves. They feel soft and warm. + +They start to throw leaves in the air. They make it rain leaves. They pretend they are birds and fly in the leaves. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big dog. It is running towards them. It wants to play in the leaves too. Sara and Ben are scared. They do not like the big dog. They think it is mean. + +They quickly get out of the pile and run away. They do not want to step on the leaves anymore. They want to go home. They hold hands and run fast. They are not having fun. They are sad. +Tom and Lily are playing with a ball in the park. They like to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they see a bird or a dog and they say hello. They are having fun. + +But then Lily sees something shiny on the grass. She runs to it and picks it up. It is a string with a bell on it. She shakes it and it makes a nice sound. She likes it. + +"Look, Tom, I found a string!" she says. "It has a bell. Do you want to play with it?" + +Tom runs to her and looks at the string. He thinks it is pretty. He wants to play with it too. + +"Can I have a turn?" he asks. + +Lily nods and gives him the string. He shakes it and smiles. He likes the sound too. + +They take turns shaking the string and listening to the bell. They are happy. + +But then they hear a voice. It is their mom. She is calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go home!" she says. "Come on, let's go!" + +Tom and Lily pause. They look at the string. They look at each other. They don't want to leave the string. They want to keep playing with it. + +But they know they have to listen to their mom. She is good. She loves them. + +They run to their mom and hug her. They show her the string. They tell her they found it in the park. They ask her if they can keep it. + +Their mom looks at the string. She smiles. She says yes. She says they can keep it as a souvenir. She says they can play with it at home. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say thank you to their mom. They hold the string and the ball. They walk home with their mom. They are good. +Tom and Mia were very excited. Today was their birthday. They were twins. They were turning four. Mom and Dad had a big surprise for them. They said they had to prepare something special. + +Tom and Mia waited in their room. They played with their toys. They heard noises from the kitchen. They smelled something yummy. They wondered what Mom and Dad were making. They hoped it was cake. + +After a while, Mom and Dad called them. "Come on, Tom and Mia, it's time for your surprise!" they said. Tom and Mia ran to the kitchen. They saw a big table with balloons and streamers. And on the table, there was a huge cake. It had four candles and their names on it. It was chocolate and vanilla. It looked incredible. + +"Wow!" Tom and Mia said. They clapped their hands. They hugged Mom and Dad. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they said. Mom and Dad smiled. They said they loved them very much. They said they were proud of them. They said they could make a wish and blow the candles. + +Tom and Mia closed their eyes. They thought of their wish. They wished for more fun and more love. They opened their eyes. They blew the candles together. The candles went out. Everyone cheered. Tom and Mia cut the cake. They shared it with Mom and Dad. They ate and laughed. They had a wonderful birthday. They were very happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals and colors. Lily knows many animals and colors. Ben does not know many animals and colors. + +Before the quiz, Lily teases Ben. She says, "You are silly. You do not know animals and colors. I know animals and colors. I will get all the answers right. You will get all the answers wrong." Ben feels sad. He says, "That is not nice. You are mean. You should not tease me. I try to learn animals and colors. Maybe I will get some answers right." + +The quiz starts. The teacher asks, "What animal is black and white and has stripes?" Lily raises her hand. She says, "A zebra!" The teacher says, "Good job, Lily. You are right." Ben does not know what a zebra is. He feels bad. + +The teacher asks, "What color do you get when you mix red and yellow?" Lily raises her hand. She says, "Orange!" The teacher says, "Good job, Lily. You are right." Ben does not know what orange is. He feels worse. + +The teacher asks, "What do you call a toy that has wheels and can move?" Lily raises her hand. She says, "A car!" The teacher says, "Good job, Lily. You are right." Ben knows what a car is. He has a car toy at home. But his car toy is broken. One wheel is missing. He feels the worst. + +The quiz ends. Lily gets all the answers right. She is happy. She says, "I am smart. I know everything. You are dumb. You know nothing." Ben gets all the answers wrong. He is sad. He says, "You are not my friend. You are rude. You hurt my feelings." + +The teacher hears Lily and Ben. She is angry. She says, "Lily, you should not tease Ben. You should be kind and help him. Ben, you should not give up. You should try and learn. Everyone can learn. Everyone can be smart. Come, I will show you some pictures of animals and colors. And I have a new car toy for you. It is not broken. It has four wheels. Maybe you can share it with Lily. Maybe you can be friends again." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +But it is raining. The slide is wet. Lily and Tom worry. They do not want to slip and fall. They do not want to get wet and cold. + +They look for a place to hide from the rain. They see a big tree. They run to the tree. They sit under the tree. They wait for the rain to stop. + +But the rain does not stop. It gets darker and louder. Lily and Tom worry more. They want to go home. They miss their moms and dads. They are hungry and tired. + +They see a car. It is Lily's mom. She is looking for them. She sees them under the tree. She honks the horn. She waves to them. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They run to the car. They hug Lily's mom. She gives them a blanket and a snack. She drives them home. She calls Tom's mom. She tells her where Tom is. + +Lily and Tom are safe and warm. They are not wet and cold. They are not worried. They are glad to be home. They say thank you to Lily's mom. They say goodbye to each other. They promise to play again when it is sunny. +Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They like to make things with sticks and stones. They find a big stick and a small stone. They put the stone on the ground and hit it with the stick. + +"Look, I make a hole!" Tim says. + +"Wow, that is a big hole!" Lily says. "Can I try?" + +Tim gives Lily the stick and the stone. Lily hits the stone with the stick. But the stone flies away and hits a man on the bench. + +"Ouch!" the man says. He is angry. He looks at Tim and Lily. + +"Who did this?" he asks. "Who threw the stone at me?" + +Tim and Lily are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They are very quiet. They do not say anything. + +The man gets up and walks to them. He sees the stick and the stone on the ground. He picks them up. + +"Did you make this hole?" he asks. + +Tim and Lily nod. They are still quiet. + +The man smiles. He is not angry anymore. He is nice. + +"That is a good hole," he says. "You are very strong. But you have to be careful. You do not want to hurt anyone with the stone. Next time, hit the ground, not the stone. OK?" + +Tim and Lily nod again. They are happy. They say sorry to the man. + +The man gives them the stick and the stone back. He tells them to have fun. He goes back to the bench. + +Tim and Lily say thank you to the man. They play with the stick and the stone. They hit the ground, not the stone. They make more holes. They have fun. They are not quiet anymore. They laugh and talk. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to imagine they were pirates, looking for treasure. They had a map, a hat and a sword made of cardboard. + +"Look, Ben, I found something!" Lily said, pointing to a big, shiny egg under a bush. "Maybe it's a magic egg!" + +Ben ran over to see. He was nosy and wanted to know what was inside. He picked up the egg and shook it. It made a soft sound. + +"Let's open it!" he said, excited. + +"No, Ben, don't!" Lily said, scared. "It might belong to someone. Maybe it's a baby bird or a baby dragon. We should put it back." + +But Ben did not listen. He tried to crack the egg with his sword. The egg was hard and did not break. He tried harder and harder, until... + +CRACK! + +The egg split open and a loud roar came out. A baby dragon popped out of the egg. It had green scales, yellow eyes and a long tail. It looked angry and hungry. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said, dropping the sword and the egg. + +"Run!" Lily said, grabbing Ben's hand. + +They ran away from the dragon, back to the house.

He looked around and saw the twig still lying on the grass, near the big tree. He pointed at the twig and said, "No, Rex, that is not a twig. That is a sock. A sock is not a twig. A twig is a twig. See, Rex, see?" He ran to the twig and picked it up. He showed it to Rex and said, "This is a twig, Rex. A twig. Please fetch the twig for me. Fetch, Rex, fetch!" He threw the twig one more time and crossed his fingers. + +But Rex did not fetch the twig. He did not fetch anything. He just sat down and looked at Ben. He tilted his head and wagged his tail. He seemed to say, "I don't understand, Ben. What is a twig? Why do you want a twig? I brought you a wheel and a sock. Aren't they better than a twig? Can we play with them instead?" + +Ben sighed and gave up. He realized that Rex did not know what a twig was. He realized that he could not teach Rex how to fetch a twig. He realized that Rex was a good dog, but not a smart dog. He smiled and said, "OK, Rex, OK. You win. We can play with the wheel and the sock. But you have to share them with me. Deal, Rex, deal?" He hugged Rex and scratched his ears. Rex licked his face and barked. + +They played with the wheel and the sock until it was time to go home. Ben did not mind that Rex did not fetch the twig. He loved Rex anyway. Rex was his best friend. And maybe, one day, he would learn what a twig was. Maybe. +Sara loved to play with her doll, Anna.

Her mom gave her one, and told her to close her eyes and make a wish. + +Sara closed her eyes, and wished that she could be a princess like Anna. She threw the coin in the fountain, and opened her eyes. She looked around, but nothing seemed to change.

They wanted to save it for later, so they looked for a good place to hide it. They saw a hole in a log that was near their tree.

Why don't we use the big magnet to play with the small magnets? We can stick the small magnets on the big magnet and make a big shape. Or we can pull the small magnets with the big magnet and make a train. Or we can make the small magnets jump and dance with the big magnet. What do you think?" + +Ben and Lily stop crying and smile.

It was wet and dirty and had holes. She felt ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I should not have played with my boot in the puddle. I should have worn both my shoes. Can you fix my boot?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, honey. You made a mistake. We all do. I'm glad you are safe. I can try to fix your boot, but maybe you can find another toy to play with.

He was barking at a squirrel." + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you love Rex. He is a loyal dog. But you have to be careful with the chocolate. It can burn and make a mess.

Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you. You are good kids. And you can still make cookies for dad. He will love them. And he will love you. And so do I." She hugged them and kissed them.

She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. This is not shampoo for dolls. This is shampoo for making toys smaller. It was a mistake to leave it in the bathroom. It was a gift for your brother. He likes to make tiny things." + +Lily sniffed and said, "But I don't want Anna to be tiny. I want her to have yellow hair again. Can we fix her?" + +Mom shook her head and said, "I don't think so, sweetie. This shampoo is very strong. It can't be reversed. But maybe we can find a way to make Anna look pretty again. Maybe we can get her a wig or a hat or a bow. What do you think?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She still loved Anna, even if she had no hair. She said, "Maybe a wig. A yellow wig. Like her old hair." + +Mom smiled and said, "That sounds like a good idea. Let's go to the store and see what we can find. Maybe we can also get some new shampoo for you.

The frosting and sprinkles go everywhere. + +Sara and Ben are both sad. They wasted the cake. They hear their mom coming. They wonder what she will say. They are afraid. They hug each other and say sorry. They hope mom will forgive them. +Lily loved to collect things. She had a big box full of shiny stones, feathers, buttons, and stickers. She liked to look at them and make patterns with them. Sometimes she shared them with her friends, and sometimes they gave her new things to add to her box. + +One day, Lily's mom told her that there was a costume party at school. She could dress up as anything she wanted. Lily was very excited. She wanted to have a brilliant costume, something that no one else had. She thought hard about what she could be. + +She looked at her box of things and had an idea. She took out some of the shiny stones and glued them to a headband. She found a long scarf and wrapped it around her like a dress. She put some feathers in her hair and some stickers on her face. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She was a rainbow princess! + +She ran to show her mom her costume. Her mom was very proud of her. She said that Lily was very creative and clever. She gave her a hug and a kiss and helped her put on her shoes. Lily was ready to go to the party. + +She had a lot of fun at the party. She played games, ate cake, and danced with her friends. Everyone liked her costume and said that it was brilliant. Lily felt very happy. She had made her own costume with the things she collected. She was a rainbow princess, and she was the best! +Sara liked to learn new words. She had a book with many words and pictures. She would look at the pictures and try to say the words. Sometimes she did not know how to say a word. Then she would ask her mom or dad to help her. + +One day, Sara saw a word that looked very long and hard. It was "elephant". She wanted to say it, but she was nervous. She thought her mom or dad would laugh at her if she said it wrong. She did not ask them for help. She tried to say it by herself. She said "el-el-el-eh-fant". She thought that was right. + +The next day, Sara went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She was very excited to see the animals. She saw lions, monkeys, giraffes, and many more. Then she saw a big gray animal with a long nose and big ears. She knew it was an elephant. She pointed at it and said "el-el-el-eh-fant". She smiled and waited for her mom and dad to praise her. + +But her mom and dad did not smile. They looked confused. They did not know what Sara was saying. They asked her to repeat it. Sara said it again, louder. "El-el-el-eh-fant!" She started to feel sad. Why did they not understand her? + +Then a boy who was standing near them said "That's not how you say it. It's elephant. E-l-e-p-h-a-n-t. Elephant." He spelled it out for Sara. He sounded very smart and confident. Sara felt embarrassed. She realized she had said it wrong. She wished she had asked her mom or dad to help her before. + +She looked at her mom and dad. They smiled at her and hugged her. They said "It's okay, Sara. You tried your best. But next time, if you don't know how to say a word, you can ask us. We will not laugh at you. We will help you learn. Learning is fun. And spelling is fun too. Do you want to try to spell elephant with us?" + +Sara nodded. She felt better. She said "Yes, please. I want to learn. I want to spell elephant." She repeated the letters after her mom and dad. E-l-e-p-h-a-n-t. Elephant. She said it correctly. She felt proud. She thanked the boy for helping her. He smiled and said "You're welcome. You're a good learner. Do you want to see the other animals with me?" Sara said "Yes, please. That sounds fun." She made a new friend. She learned a new word. She had a great day at the zoo. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be afraid to ask for help when you don't know something. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of curiosity and willingness to learn. Learning new things can be fun and rewarding, and can help you make new friends. + +The narrative uses foreshadowing or setup and payoff by introducing the word "elephant" in the book that Sara likes to read, and then having her encounter an actual elephant at the zoo, where she realizes her mistake and learns the correct way to say and spell it. The word "elephant" is also a contrast to the simple words that Sara knows and uses, and creates a challenge and a climax for her. The boy who helps her is a surprise and a resolution for her. +Tommy liked to play with his plastic toys. He had cars, trucks, planes and trains. He liked to make them zoom and crash and fly.

They made sand castles and dug holes and looked for shells. One day, they saw a big boat far away on the water. They wanted to see it better, so they walked closer to the waves. + +But they did not notice that the tide was coming in. The tide is when the water goes up and down on the beach. Sometimes the water is low and leaves more sand to play on. Sometimes the water is high and covers the sand and makes it wet. + +The tide was high that day, and it came in very fast. Tom and Sam did not hear their mom calling them to come back. They were too busy looking at the boat. Soon, the water was around their feet, then their knees, then their waists. They got scared and tried to run back to the shore, but the water was too strong and pulled them in. + +Their mom saw them and screamed for help. She ran into the water, but it was too deep and too rough for her. She could not reach them. She felt helpless and cried. Tom and Sam felt helpless too. They could not swim and they could not see each other. They shouted for their mom, but she could not hear them. The water took them away from the beach and from the boat and from their mom. They never returned. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they are naughty. One day, they have a plan. They want to dress up as pirates and scare Mom. + +They go to their room and find some clothes. Sara puts on a big hat and a scarf. Ben wears a bandana and a belt. They draw some mustaches on their faces with a marker. They look very funny. + +They sneak out of their room and go to the kitchen. Mom is making lunch. She does not see them. They hide behind the cooler. They wait for the right moment. + +"Arrr, matey!" Ben shouts. He jumps out of his hiding place. He waves a wooden spoon like a sword. + +"Give us your treasure, or we'll make you walk the plank!" Sara says. She follows Ben. She holds a plastic cup like a hook. + +Mom turns around and sees them. She is very surprised. She does not know what to say. + +Sara and Ben laugh. They think they are very clever. They run to Mom and hug her. + +"Did we scare you, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"A little bit, yes. But you also made me smile. You are very creative, my little pirates. But you are also very naughty. You should not use the marker on your faces. And you should not hide behind the cooler. It is not safe." Mom says. + +She takes them to the bathroom and washes their faces. She tells them to put their clothes back in their room. She gives them a kiss and a sandwich. + +Sara and Ben say they are sorry. They promise to be good. They eat their lunch and tell Mom about their pirate adventure. Mom listens and smiles. She loves her twins very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. Lily goes first. She climbs up the steps and slides down. Whee! She laughs. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. He follows Lily up the steps. But he does not slide down. He stands on the top and looks around. He sees a big tree. He wants to jump to it. + +"Ben, no!" Lily shouts. "That is dangerous! You can hurt your body!" She is scared for Ben. + +But Ben does not listen. He jumps to the tree. He misses the branch and falls down. Thud! He cries. He hurts his arm and his leg. + +Lily runs to him. She hugs him and says, "I am sorry, Ben. Are you OK?" She helps him get up. They go to find a grown-up. They need to fix Ben's body. They learn not to do dangerous things. They play safe. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play catch with a soft ball. They throw the ball to each other and try not to drop it. Sometimes they laugh when the ball bounces off their heads or rolls away. + +One day, they see a big store with many toys in the window. They want to go inside and look at the toys. They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to stay close and not run away. + +Tom and Mia go inside the store with their moms. They see many things they like: cars, dolls, books, puzzles, and more. They want to touch everything and play with everything. They forget about their soft ball. + +But then, a loud voice says: "Attention, shoppers! We have a special offer for you! If you can catch the soft ball that we are going to throw in the air, you can keep it for free!" + +Tom and Mia hear the voice and look up. They see a man holding a soft ball. He throws it high in the air. Many people try to catch it, but they miss. The ball falls down and bounces on the floor. + +Tom and Mia run to the ball. They both want to catch it. They reach the ball at the same time. They grab it with their hands. They pull and tug. They do not want to let go. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Tom says. + +"No, it's mine!" Mia says. + +They look at each other. They see that they are both holding the same ball. The same ball that they brought from home. The same ball that they forgot in the store. The same ball that the man threw in the air. + +They feel silly. They let go of the ball. They smile at each other. They say sorry. They hug. + +They do not need a new ball. They have their old ball. They have their friend. They are happy. They go back to their moms. They say thank you. They leave the store. They play catch with their soft ball. They laugh. The end. +Lily and Sam are playing in the park with their parent. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big dog with a ball. They want to pet the dog and play with the ball. + +"Can we go to the dog, parent?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but be careful. The dog might not like strangers. And ask the owner first," the parent says. + +They walk to the dog and the owner. The owner is a nice lady. She says they can pet the dog and play with the ball. The dog is friendly and licks their hands. They throw the ball and the dog runs to get it. + +Sam throws the ball too far. The dog chases the ball across the street. A car is coming fast. The parent sees the car and shouts, "Stop, dog! Stop!" + +But the dog does not stop. The car hits the dog. The dog yelps and falls. The owner runs to the dog. Lily and Sam watch. They are scared and sad. + +The parent hugs them and says, "The dog is hurt. The car was bad. The owner will take the dog to the vet. The vet will help the dog. The dog might be OK." + +Lily and Sam nod. They hope the dog will be OK. They say sorry to the owner. The owner says thank you. She says the dog is brave and strong. She says she will call them later. + +They go back to the park. They do not want to play anymore. They want to go home. The parent says, "I know you are sad. I am sad too. But you did nothing wrong. You were nice to the dog. The dog liked you. Sometimes bad things happen. But we can be kind and help each other." + +Lily and Sam hug the parent. They say, "We love you, parent. We love the dog too." + +The parent says, "I love you too, Lily and Sam. And I'm sure the dog loves you too." +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with a wide path. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Anna says. She holds Ben's hand and they rush up the hill. They are fast and strong. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. + +They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see a big lake with light blue water. They see ducks and fish and frogs. They see flowers and trees and rocks. They see a boat and a bridge and a house. + +"Wow, wow!" Ben says. He points at the lake and the boat. He likes boats. He wants to go on the boat and sail on the water. + +"Come on, come on!" Ben says. He pulls Anna's hand and they rush down the hill. They are excited and happy. They want to see the lake and the boat and the ducks. + +They reach the bottom of the hill and run to the boat. They see a man and a woman and a dog. They are the owners of the boat and the house. They smile and wave at Anna and Ben. + +"Hello, hello!" the man says. He has a big hat and a big beard. He likes children. He invites Anna and Ben to come on the boat and see the lake. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Anna and Ben say. They climb on the boat and sit with the dog. They are curious and friendly. They want to see the lake and the fish and the frogs. + +The man and the woman start the boat and sail on the water. They show Anna and Ben the lake and the animals and the plants. They tell them stories and jokes and songs. They have fun and laugh and sing. + +Anna and Ben like the lake and the boat and the people and the dog. They have a great day in the park. They learn new things and make new friends. They are glad they rushed up the hill and saw the wide path. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. They always had fun and learned new stuff. + +One day, they went to a farm where they met a farmer and his animals. The farmer was very nice and let them feed the cows, pet the sheep and ride the horses. He also showed them his tools and how he fixed things. + +"Can I use your hammer?" Tom asked the farmer. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is heavy and hard. You have to hit things gently and not hurt yourself or others," the farmer said. + +Tom took the hammer and tried to hit a nail on a fence. He swung the hammer too hard and missed the nail. He hit his thumb instead and cried out loud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom said. + +Anna ran to him and hugged him. She saw his thumb was red and swollen. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Anna said. + +"It hurts a lot. I was silly. I didn't listen to the farmer. I hit too hard," Tom said. + +The farmer came and gave Tom some ice and a bandage. He told him not to worry and that it would heal soon. + +"Thank you, farmer. I'm sorry I broke your hammer and your fence," Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom. You didn't break anything. You just bent the hammer a little bit. I can fix it. And the fence is fine. You just made a small dent. But you learned a lesson, right?" the farmer said. + +"Yes, I learned to be careful and listen to people who know more than me. And I learned that hammers are not toys. They are tools for work," Tom said. + +"That's good, Tom. I'm proud of you. You are a brave and honest boy. And you have a sweet and caring sister. You are lucky to have each other. And I'm lucky to have you as my guests. Now, why don't you go and wash your hands and face? They are dirty from playing. Then we can have some cake and milk," the farmer said. + +Tom and Anna smiled and thanked the farmer. They went to the bathroom and cleaned themselves. They felt happy and grateful. They enjoyed the cake and milk and the rest of their visit. They learned that traveling is fun and that hammers are not toys. They learned to be careful and listen and to be kind and thankful. They learned a lot from the farmer and his farm. +Ben and Lily are best friends. They play every day at the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But one day, Lily does not come to the park. Ben is sad. He misses Lily. + +He asks his mom, "Where is Lily? Why is she not here?" + +His mom says, "Lily is sick. She has a big ouch in her tummy. She had to go to the hospital. It is an emergency." + +Ben says, "Oh no! I hope Lily is okay. I want to see her. Can we go to the hospital?" + +His mom says, "No, we cannot go now. The hospital is far away. And Lily needs to rest. Maybe we can call her later and say hello." + +Ben says, "Okay. I will wait. But I miss her a lot. She is my best friend." + +His mom says, "I know, Ben. I miss her too. She is a sweet girl. But she will be better soon. And then you can play with her again. It will not be long." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a truck, a doll and a teddy bear. They liked to share and take turns with their toys. They had a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they felt tired and thirsty. They decided to rest under a big tree. They sat on the grass and drank some water from their bottles. They felt better. + +"Ben, can I ask you a question?" Lila said. + +"Sure, Lila. What is it?" Ben said. + +"Why is the sky blue?" Lila said. She looked up at the sky and saw the lovely clouds. + +Ben thought for a moment. He did not know the answer. He said, "I don't know, Lila. Maybe because it is happy. Or maybe because it likes the sun." + +Lila nodded. She said, "I like the sky. It is pretty. And I like the sun. It is warm." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Me too, Lila. And I like you. You are my friend." + +Lila hugged Ben. She said, "You are my friend too, Ben. You are nice." + +They rested some more under the tree. They felt happy and cozy. They liked the park. They liked their toys. They liked each other. They had a lovely day. +Lily wanted to order pizza for dinner. She liked pizza very much. She asked her daddy, "Can we order pizza, please?" + +Daddy said, "No, Lily, we have food at home. We can make something healthy and yummy." + +Lily was not happy. She was persistent. She asked again and again, "Can we order pizza, please? Can we order pizza, please?" + +Daddy was patient. He said, "No, Lily, we have food at home. We can make something healthy and yummy. Pizza is not good for you every day. It has too much cheese and salt." + +Lily was still not happy. She started to cry and whine. She said, "But I want pizza! I want pizza!" + +Daddy was firm. He said, "No, Lily, we have food at home. We can make something healthy and yummy. And you need to stop crying and whining. That is not how you ask for things. You need to be polite and respectful." + +Lily realized that daddy was right. She was being rude and ungrateful. She said, "I'm sorry, daddy. I was being bad. I will eat what you make. And I will say please and thank you." + +Daddy smiled and hugged her. He said, "That's my good girl. I love you, Lily. And maybe we can order pizza another day, as a treat." + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said, "I love you too, daddy. And thank you for making dinner." + +The moral of the story is: Be polite and respectful when you ask for things, and be grateful for what you have. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go to the cave!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dark and scary," Lily said. + +They walked up the hill and went into the hole. It was very dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bear or a monster," Tom said. + +They were afraid. They wanted to go back. But they did not know how to find the way out. It was too difficult. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +No one heard them. They were alone in the cave. + +They held hands and tried to walk slowly. They hoped to see some light. They managed to find a small opening. They saw the sun and the sky. They were happy. + +They ran out of the cave and down the hill. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. + +"Where were you? We were worried," Mom said. + +"We were in the cave. It was dark and scary. We got lost. But we managed to get out," Lily said. + +"You were very brave. But you should not go into caves without us. It is dangerous," Dad said. + +"We are sorry. We won't do it again," Tom said. + +They hugged their mom and dad. They were glad to be safe. They learned a lesson. They never went into caves again. +One day, a big red dragon came to the village. He was very hungry and wanted to eat the cows and the sheep. He flew over the houses and the fields and made a loud roar. The people and the animals were very scared. They ran and hid in their homes and barns. + +But one little boy was not scared. His name was Tom. He loved dragons and wanted to see one up close. He grabbed his wooden sword and ran out of his house. He saw the red dragon landing near the well. He shouted, "Hey, dragon! You are not nice! You scare everyone! Go away!" + +The red dragon heard the boy and turned his head. He saw Tom standing with his sword. He was surprised and curious. He had never seen a human so brave and small. He said, "Who are you? Why are you not scared of me? Don't you know I can eat you?" + +Tom said, "I am Tom. I am not scared of you. You are a dragon. Dragons are cool. But you are not cool. You are mean. You should not eat the cows and the sheep. They are our friends. You should eat fruits and vegetables. They are good for you." + +The red dragon thought for a moment. He realized that Tom was right. He had been eating too many animals and not enough plants. He felt sorry for scaring the village. He said, "You are a smart boy, Tom. You are right. I should not eat the cows and the sheep. I should eat fruits and vegetables. I am sorry for scaring the village. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, I can forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not scare the village again. And you have to promise me that you will be my friend. Can you do that?" + +The red dragon nodded and said, "Yes, I can do that. I promise I will not scare the village again. And I promise I will be your friend. You are a brave and kind boy, Tom. You are my friend." + +Tom and the red dragon hugged and became friends. The people and the animals saw them and came out of their hiding places. They were amazed and happy. They welcomed the red dragon to the village and gave him fruits and vegetables to eat. They thanked Tom for being brave and kind. They all lived happily ever after. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. The sign had a cross on it. The sign said: "Do not go here. Danger!" + +Tom said: "Let's go there. It looks fun." + +Anna said: "No, Tom. The sign says no. It is bad." + +Tom said: "I don't care. The sign is silly. Come on, Anna." + +Anna was scared. But she did not want to lose Tom. She followed him. They went past the sign. They saw a big hole. The hole had water in it. The water smelled bad. + +Tom said: "Look, Anna. There are fish in the water. They look delicious. Let's catch them." + +Anna said: "No, Tom. The fish are dirty. The water is dirty. Let's go back." + +Tom said: "No, Anna. I want to eat the fish. They are yummy." + +Tom jumped into the hole. He tried to catch a fish. But the fish was too fast. Tom slipped. He fell into the water. He could not swim. He screamed. + +Anna was very scared. She ran to the sign. She shouted for help. But no one heard her. She cried. + +Tom did not come out of the water. He drowned. He died. Anna was alone. She was sad. She was sorry. She wished she had listened to the sign. The sign was right. The sign was good. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is the best!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is very original!" Ben agreed. + +But then the sun came out and the snow started to melt. The snowman's hat and scarf fell off. His nose and eyes dropped to the ground. His body became smaller and smaller. + +"Oh no, our snowman is going away!" Lily cried. + +"What can we do?" Ben asked. + +They looked around and saw a house with a chimney. They had an idea. + +"Let's take our snowman to the house. Maybe he can stay dry inside the chimney!" Lily said. + +"Good idea! Come on, let's go!" Ben said. + +They picked up the snowman and carried him to the house. They knocked on the door and a kind lady opened it. + +"Hello, children. What do you have there?" she asked. + +"Please, can we put our snowman in your chimney? He is melting in the sun!" Lily said. + +The lady smiled and said, "Of course, you can. But you know, he won't last long in the chimney either. The fire will make him melt too." + +Lily and Ben looked sad. They didn't want to lose their snowman. + +"Is there any place where he can stay forever?" Ben asked. + +The lady thought for a moment and said, "Well, there is one place. But you have to be very brave and careful. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to save their snowman. + +"Follow me, then. I'll show you the way," the lady said. + +She took them to the back of the house, where there was a big freezer. She opened the door and said, "This is where you can put your snowman. He will be cold and dry and happy here. But you have to be quick and not touch anything else. And you have to close the door when you are done. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben understood. They thanked the lady and put their snowman in the freezer. They gave him a hug and a kiss and said goodbye. They closed the door and ran back to the lady. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they said. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!" the lady said. + +She gave them some cookies and hot chocolate and invited them to come back anytime. Lily and Ben smiled and said they would. They were glad they found a place for their snowman. They were glad they met a nice lady. They were glad they had each other. They were glad they had a fun day. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box of toys. The box has dolls, cars, blocks, and books. They can make many games with the toys. + +One day, Anna and Ben decide to have a tea party. They take out some cups, plates, and spoons from the box. They pretend to pour tea and eat cake. They talk to each other. + +"Hello, Ben. How are you today?" Anna asks. + +"I am good, Anna. Thank you for inviting me to your tea party. It is very nice," Ben says. + +"You are welcome, Ben. I like to share with you. Do you like the cake? It is yummy," Anna says. + +"Yes, I like the cake. It is yummy. What kind of cake is it?" Ben asks. + +"It is a birthday cake. It is for you, Ben. Happy birthday!" Anna says. + +"Really? For me? Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. How old am I?" Ben asks. + +"You are three years old, Ben. Just like me. We are the same age. We are big now," Anna says. + +"Wow, three years old. That is great. I am happy. Thank you, Anna. You are the best friend ever," Ben says. + +They hug each other and smile. They enjoy their tea party. They include all their toys in the party. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It was red and blue and had stars on it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's peek in the tent," Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun." + +"OK, but we have to be quiet," Lily said. "And we have to promise not to go inside. Mommy said we should not go to strange places." + +They nodded and made a promise. They tiptoed to the tent and lifted a corner. They saw a lot of boxes and bags and a big cage. In the cage, there was a lion. It was sleeping. + +"Wow, a lion!" Tom whispered. "It is so big and furry. I want to touch it." + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily whispered. "It is dangerous. It can bite you. We should go away." + +But Tom did not listen. He let go of the tent and walked to the cage. He reached his hand to the lion. The lion opened its eyes and roared. It was angry. It grabbed Tom's hand with its teeth and pulled him into the cage. + +Lily screamed. She ran to the tent and tried to get help. But it was too late. The lion had hurt Tom very badly. He was not moving. He was not breathing. He was gone. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she had not peeked in the tent. She wished Tom had kept his promise. She wished they had never seen the lion. She wished they could play in the park again. But they could not. The end. +Lily and Sam were playing in the sand near the sea. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They saw a big rock with many holes in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are crabs or shells or fish," Lily said. + +"Let's go and look," Sam said. + +They ran to the rock and put their hands in the holes. They felt something soft and wet and slimy. They pulled it out. It was an octopus! + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "It has eight legs and a round head and two eyes." + +"Is it dead?" Lily asked. She was scared of the octopus. It did not move or make any sound. + +"I don't know," Sam said. He poked it with his finger. The octopus twitched and squirted some water at him. Sam screamed and dropped it. + +The octopus landed on Lily's foot. It wrapped its legs around her ankle and squeezed hard. Lily screamed too. She tried to shake it off, but it was too strong. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Sam cried. "Get it off me!" + +They looked around for their mom and dad, but they were too far away. They did not hear them or see them. Lily and Sam felt alone and afraid. + +They did not know what to do. They prayed to God to save them from the octopus. But God did not answer. The octopus squeezed harder and harder. Lily and Sam felt pain and blood. They cried and cried until they could not cry anymore. The octopus did not let go. It was hungry and angry. It ate them up. The end. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to swim in the pool. Lila is quick and strong. Ben is slow and weak. He is scared of the water. + +One day, Lila says to Ben, "Let's swim to the other side. It is fun!" + +Ben says, "No, thank you. It is too far. I am weak. I might sink." + +Lila says, "Don't be scared. I will help you. Hold my hand. We will swim together." + +Ben says, "OK. I will try. But you have to be gentle. Don't pull me too hard." + +Lila and Ben hold hands. They swim to the other side. Lila is quick and strong. She pulls Ben along. Ben is slow and weak. He kicks his legs. He tries to breathe. + +They reach the other side. Lila says, "You did it! You swam to the other side. You are not weak. You are brave!" + +Ben says, "Thank you, Lila. You helped me. You are a good friend. I am not scared anymore. I like to swim." + +Lila and Ben smile. They swim back to the other side. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna loves ponies. She likes to look at pictures of ponies in books. She likes to play with her toy pony. She likes to pretend she is a pony and run and jump. + +One day, Anna gets a big surprise. Her grandma calls her on the phone. She says, "Hello, Anna. I have a gift for you. I will send it to you soon. It is something you will love very much." + +Anna is very excited. She wonders what the gift is. She hopes it is a pony. She says, "Thank you, grandma. I can't wait to see it. Is it a pony?" + +Grandma laughs. She says, "You will have to wait and see. It is a very special pony. It is not like the ones in your books or your toy. It is a real pony. It is rough and furry and strong. It can run and jump and neigh. It needs a lot of care and love. Do you think you can take care of it?" + +Anna is very happy. She says, "Yes, grandma. I can take care of it. I will feed it and brush it and hug it. I will be its best friend. I love you, grandma. Thank you for the pony." + +Grandma says, "You're welcome, Anna. I love you too. The pony will be there soon. Be ready to meet it. It will be a big adventure for you." + +Anna hangs up the phone. She runs to the window. She looks for the pony. She can't wait to see it. She dreams of riding it and playing with it. She is the happiest girl in the world. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, their mom told them to get ready for lunch. She said they could play a little more, but not to delay. + +Anna ran to the swing and pushed it high. She liked the view of the sky and the trees. She felt happy and free. Ben ran to the slide and climbed up. He liked the view of the yard and the flowers. He felt brave and fast. + +"Anna, Ben, lunch is ready!" their mom called from the door. + +"Okay, mom, we're coming!" Anna and Ben said. + +But they did not come. Anna wanted to swing a little more. Ben wanted to slide a little more. They thought they had time. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky. + +Soon, it started to rain. The rain was heavy and cold. Anna and Ben got wet and scared. They ran to the door, but it was locked. Their mom had gone inside to check on the soup. She did not hear them knock. + +"Mom, mom, let us in!" Anna and Ben cried. + +They waited and waited. They felt hungry and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom and not delayed. + +After a while, their mom came back to the door. She saw them soaked and shivering. She felt sorry and angry. She opened the door and hugged them. + +"Anna, Ben, why did you delay? I told you to come for lunch. Now you are wet and cold. And the soup is cold too. You have to learn to obey and not waste time. Time is precious and so are you." + +Anna and Ben said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They went inside and ate their soup. They thanked their mom for her love and care. They promised to be more obedient and respectful. They realized that the view of the sky and the yard was not as important as the view of their mom's smile. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and bridges. Anna has a lot of red blocks and Ben has a lot of blue blocks. They share some yellow and green blocks. + +"Look at my tower!" Anna says. "It is very tall and strong. It has red and yellow blocks." + +"It is nice, but mine is better," Ben says. "It is longer and wider. It has blue and green blocks." + +They both think their tower is the best. They are stubborn. They do not want to say the other tower is good too. + +They start to argue. They say mean words. They push each other. They are not nice. + +Then, Ben drops a block. It hits Anna's tower. Anna's tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. Anna is sad and angry. She drops a block too. It hits Ben's tower. Ben's tower falls down. The blocks make another loud noise. Ben is sad and angry. + +They both cry. They both hurt. They both want their tower back. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks and the tears. She is not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asks. "Why are you crying? Why are you fighting?" + +They both try to tell Mom. They both blame the other. They both want Mom to say they are right. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not pleased. She picks up Anna and puts her on her shoulder. She picks up Ben and puts him on her other shoulder. She carries them to the couch. + +"Listen to me," she says. "You are both wrong. You are both silly. You are both stubborn. You need to say sorry. You need to be kind. You need to share. You need to play nicely. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They see the blocks on the floor. They see the tears on their faces. They feel the hug from Mom. They feel sorry. They feel ashamed. They nod their heads. + +They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They are not stubborn anymore. They are friends again. + +They go back to the blocks. They help each other to pick them up. They decide to build a new tower together. They use all the colors. They make the tower big and beautiful. They are happy. They are proud. They show Mom. + +Mom smiles. She is happy too. She says they did a good job. She says they are good kids. She says she loves them. They say they love her too. They play with the blocks. They have fun. They are nice. The end. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big car with shiny wheels and a long tail. It was a luxury car, and they wanted to see it up close. + +"Let's follow the car and see where it goes," Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be fast and loud," Lily said. + +They ran after the car, but it was too fast for them. They lost sight of it when it turned a corner. They kept running, hoping to catch up, but they did not know where they were. They were in a new street, with many houses and shops they had never seen before. + +They felt scared and lost. They wished they had stayed in the park. They looked around, hoping to find someone who could help them. They saw a lady with a big hat and a small dog. She looked nice and friendly. + +"Excuse me, lady, can you help us?" Lily asked. + +The lady stopped and smiled. She saw that the twins were dirty and tired from running. + +"Of course, dear. What's the matter?" she asked. + +"We followed a luxury car and got lost. We don't know how to go back to the park," Tom said. + +"Oh, you poor things. You were very brave to follow a luxury car, but you should not run away from your parents. Where are they?" she asked. + +"They are at home. We came to the park by ourselves. We like to play here," Lily said. + +The lady frowned. She thought that the twins were very naughty and careless. She decided to help them anyway. + +"Well, you should not do that again. It's not safe. Come with me, I'll take you back to the park. Maybe your parents are looking for you," she said. + +She took their hands and led them to her car. It was not a luxury car, but it was nice and cozy. She gave them some water and cookies, and drove them to the park. She saw a man and a woman who looked worried and angry. They were the twins' parents. + +"Are these your children?" she asked. + +"Yes, they are. Thank you for bringing them back. We were so worried. Where did you find them?" the man asked. + +"They followed a luxury car and got lost. They asked me for help," she said. + +The parents hugged the twins and thanked the lady. They scolded them for running away and told them to never do that again. They also apologized to the lady for the trouble. + +The twins felt sorry and ashamed. They realized that they had made a big mistake. They promised to listen to their parents and not follow luxury cars anymore. They learned their lesson. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make different shapes with the blocks. Anna makes a square, Ben makes a triangle, and they show each other their shapes. + +"Look, I made a square!" Anna says. + +"Wow, that's a good square!" Ben says. + +"Look, I made a triangle!" Ben says. + +"Wow, that's a good triangle!" Anna says. + +They are happy and proud of their shapes. + +But then, a big boy comes and takes their blocks. He says he wants to play with them. He does not ask, he just takes. He makes a big tower with the blocks. He does not care about the shapes. + +"Hey, give us back our blocks!" Anna says. + +"No, they are mine now!" the big boy says. + +"That's not fair! That's not nice!" Ben says. + +The big boy laughs. He says their shapes are fake and silly. He says his tower is better and real. He says they are babies and they should suffer. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not like the big boy. They want their blocks back. They want their shapes back. + +They think of a plan. They wait until the big boy is not looking. Then, they run to his tower and push it down. The blocks fall and make a loud noise. The big boy is shocked and scared. He cries and runs away. + +Anna and Ben are happy and brave. They get their blocks back. They make their shapes again. They say their shapes are good and real. They say they are not babies and they do not suffer. + +They hug each other and smile. They are friends and they like to play with blocks. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked like fun. But there was a sign that said "No children under five". Lily and Ben were only three. + +"Let's go on the slide anyway," said Ben. "No one will see us." + +"No, Ben, that's not polite," said Lily. "We have to follow the rules. Maybe when we are older, we can go on the slide." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Lily followed him, but she was scared. She did not want to get in trouble. + +"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" said Ben. He slid down the slide and laughed. + +Lily looked down and saw a man in a uniform. He was the park keeper. He looked angry. He saw Ben and shouted, "Hey, you! Get off the slide! You are too young!" + +Ben was scared too. He ran away from the slide and tried to escape. He looked for Lily, but she was still on the ladder. She was stuck. + +"Lily, come on, hurry!" said Ben. + +"I can't, Ben, I'm sorry!" said Lily. She started to cry. + +The park keeper came to the slide and saw Lily. He was not angry anymore. He was kind. + +"Don't cry, little girl," he said. "I'll help you down. You shouldn't go on the slide, but I know you didn't mean to be bad. You were just curious." + +He lifted Lily off the ladder and put her on the ground. He gave her a tissue and a smile. + +"Thank you, sir," said Lily. She was polite. She wiped her tears and smiled back. + +"Where is your friend?" asked the park keeper. + +Lily pointed to Ben, who was hiding behind a tree. He was ashamed. + +"Come here, little boy," said the park keeper. "I won't hurt you. I just want to talk to you." + +Ben came out from behind the tree. He was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, sir," he said. "I was naughty. I won't do it again. I promise." + +The park keeper nodded. He was fair. + +"I'm glad you are sorry," he said. "And I'm glad you promise. But you have to keep your promise, okay? And you have to listen to your friend. She was smart and brave. She tried to stop you. She is a good friend." + +Ben nodded. He was grateful. + +"Okay, sir," he said. "I will keep my promise. And I will listen to Lily. She is a good friend. I'm sorry, Lily." + +Lily hugged Ben. She was forgiving. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said. "I'm still your friend. But next time, let's play somewhere else, okay?" + +Ben hugged Lily back. He was happy. + +"Okay, Lily," he said. "Let's play somewhere else. Somewhere safe and fun." + +The park keeper smiled. He was proud. + +"Good," he said. "Now go and have fun. But remember, be polite, be careful, and be happy." + +Lily and Ben thanked the park keeper and ran away. They found a swing and a sandbox. They played together and had fun. They were polite, careful, and happy. They kept their promise. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to imagine they were in a fairy tale. They saw a big hill with a lot of mist on top. They wondered what was there. + +"Let's go and see!" Ben said. He ran towards the hill. + +"Wait for me!" Anna said. She followed him. + +They climbed the hill and reached the mist. It was cold and wet. They could not see very well. They heard a voice. + +"Who are you?" the voice said. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They held hands. + +"We are Anna and Ben. We are playing," Anna said. + +"Playing what?" the voice said. + +"Playing fairy tale," Ben said. + +The voice laughed. The mist cleared a little. Anna and Ben saw a big owl. It had yellow eyes and brown feathers. It looked wise. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben. I am Owl. I live here. I like fairy tales too. Do you want to hear one?" Owl said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They liked stories. + +"OK. Sit down and listen. I will tell you a fairy tale about a brave prince, a kind princess and a magic dragon," Owl said. + +Anna and Ben sat down and listened. They smiled. They liked Owl. They liked the park. They liked to imagine. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many cans of oil. The truck driver is cheerful. He whistles a song. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "Do you want to see my oil?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Sue say. They run to the truck. + +The truck driver shows them the cans. He opens one can. He pours some oil on the ground. The oil is shiny and slippery. + +"Look, oil is fun!" he says. He slides on the oil. He laughs. + +Tim and Sue want to try. They slide on the oil too. They giggle. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is the park ranger. He is angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he shouts. "You are making a mess! You are ruining the grass! You have to stop!" + +The truck driver stops whistling. He looks scared. He puts the can back in the truck. + +"Sorry, sir," he says. "I was just having fun with the kids. I didn't mean to harm the park." + +The park ranger shakes his head. He is not cheerful. He is stern. + +"You have to clean up this oil," he says. "And you have to pay a fine. And you have to leave the park. Now!" + +The truck driver nods. He is sorry. He says goodbye to Tim and Sue. He drives away. + +Tim and Sue are sad. They liked the oil. They liked the truck driver. They liked his whistling. + +But they also love the park. They don't want to hurt the park. They help the park ranger clean up the oil. They say sorry to the park ranger. + +The park ranger smiles. He is not angry anymore. He is kind. + +"Thank you, kids," he says. "You are good kids. You can play in the park. But please, don't play with oil again. Oil is not for fun. Oil is for cars and trucks." + +Tim and Sue nod. They understand. They hug the park ranger. They go back to their toys. They play in the park. They are happy. They whistle a song. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a shiny glass ring on the ground. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger. + +"Look, Tom, I have a ring! It is so pretty!" Lily said. + +Tom looked at the ring and smiled. "It is pretty, Lily. Do you want to marry me?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. "Yes, Tom, I want to marry you. You are my best friend." + +They hugged and kissed. They were very happy. + +But then, a big boy came and saw them. He was mean and rude. He snatched the ring from Lily's finger and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back! That is my ring!" Lily cried. + +"Ha ha, you are foolish! That is not a real ring. It is just glass. You can't marry with glass. You are too little to marry anyway." the big boy said. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They chased the big boy, but he was too fast. They lost him. + +They sat on a bench and cried. They wanted their ring back. They wanted to marry. + +A nice lady saw them and felt sorry for them. She came and sat with them. She gave them a tissue and a candy. + +"Why are you crying, little ones?" she asked. + +"A big boy took our ring. It was our marry ring. We wanted to marry, but he said we are foolish and too little." Lily said. + +The lady smiled and hugged them. "You are not foolish, you are sweet. And you are not too little to love. You can marry when you grow up, if you still want to. But for now, you can be friends and play and have fun. And maybe you can find another ring, or make one with a flower or a ribbon." she said. + +Lily and Tom liked the lady. They thanked her and smiled. They felt better. They decided to be friends and play and have fun. And maybe, one day, they would marry. But for now, they were happy. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They see many things there. They see birds and dogs and flowers. They also see a big gate. The gate has a sign. The sign says "Do not enter. Wild animals inside." + +Ben and Mia are curious. They want to see the wild animals. They look at the gate. The gate has a hole. The hole is thin. Ben and Mia think they can fit through the hole. + +They crawl through the hole. They see a lot of grass and trees. They hear a loud roar. They see a big lion. The lion is angry. The lion sees Ben and Mia. The lion runs towards them. + +Ben and Mia are scared. They scream for help. They run back to the hole. They try to crawl through the hole. The hole is too thin. They are stuck. + +They hear a voice. The voice says "Who are you? What are you doing here?" The voice is the zookeeper. The zookeeper sees Ben and Mia. The zookeeper is angry too. The zookeeper asks them many questions. Ben and Mia do not answer. They are too scared. They cry and say sorry. + +The zookeeper pulls them out of the hole. The zookeeper takes them to the gate. The zookeeper tells them to never come back. The zookeeper says "This is not a place for children. This is a place for wild animals. Wild animals are dangerous. You are lucky the lion did not catch you." + +Ben and Mia nod. They say sorry again. They run to their mom. Their mom is worried. She hugs them and asks them what happened. Ben and Mia tell her everything. Their mom is angry too. She says "You should not go where you are not allowed. You should not be so curious. You should listen to the signs. You could have been hurt." + +Ben and Mia nod again. They say sorry again. They promise to never do it again. They learn their lesson. They go home. They do not play in the park anymore. They play in their room. They play with their toys. They do not play with wild animals. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big hill with many flowers. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's climb the hill!" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The hill is very high and steep." Lily says. + +They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They see many bugs and birds on the way. They also see a small stream with clear water. They stop to drink some water and splash each other. + +They are almost at the top of the hill when they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big, wild lion. The lion has a mane of yellow hair and sharp teeth. The lion is angry and hungry. He sees Lily and Tom and starts to run towards them. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouts. + +They turn around and run down the hill as fast as they can. They are scared and scream for help. The lion is faster and catches up with them. He jumps and tries to bite them. + +Lily and Tom see a big rock near the stream. They run behind the rock and cover themselves with leaves and branches. They hope the lion will not see them or smell them. + +The lion reaches the rock and sniffs around. He does not see Lily and Tom. He only sees a shoe that Tom dropped when he ran. He picks up the shoe and bites it. He does not like the taste of the shoe. He spits it out and roars again. He is still hungry and angry. + +He decides to look for other food. He leaves the rock and the shoe and walks away. He does not see Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom wait until the lion is gone. They peek out from the leaves and branches. They see the shoe that Tom dropped. It is torn and dirty. + +"Sorry, Tom, your shoe is ruined." Lily says. + +"That's OK, Lily, I'm glad we are safe." Tom says. + +They hug each other and thank the rock for hiding them. They decide to go back to the park and find their mom and dad. They do not want to climb the hill again. They have had enough adventure for one day. +Tim and Sue like to play in the garden. They dig in the soil and look for bugs and worms. One day, they find a big, shiny stone in the soil. Tim picks it up and says, "Look, Sue, I found a treasure!" + +Sue looks at the stone and says, "That's not a treasure, Tim. That's just an ordinary stone. It's not worth anything." + +Tim feels sad and angry. He thinks the stone is special and beautiful. He says, "No, Sue, you're wrong. This is a treasure. I bet it's very old and rare. Maybe it came from a pirate or a king. You're just jealous because you didn't find it." + +Sue feels annoyed and hurt. She thinks Tim is being silly and rude. She says, "No, Tim, you're silly. This is a stone. It came from the soil. It's not from a pirate or a king. You're just greedy because you don't want to share it." + +Tim and Sue start to argue. They yell and pull the stone from each other. They don't want to play together anymore. + +Then, their mom comes to the garden. She sees them fighting and says, "What's going on, Tim and Sue? Why are you so angry?" + +Tim and Sue tell their mom about the stone. They both want to keep it. They both think they are right. + +Their mom looks at the stone and smiles. She says, "I know what this is. This is a quartz crystal. It's a kind of stone that grows in the soil. It's very common and ordinary, but also very pretty and sparkly. It's not a treasure, but it's a nice gift from nature. Do you want to know how I know?" + +Tim and Sue nod. They are curious and calm. + +Their mom says, "Because I used to find them when I was a little girl, just like you. I used to dig in the soil and look for crystals. I used to guess where they came from and what they meant. I used to have fun with them. And I used to share them with my friends. Do you want to do the same?" + +Tim and Sue look at each other and smile. They say, "Yes, mom, we do. We're sorry we fought. We want to share the crystal and play together. Can we keep it, please?" + +Their mom says, "Of course you can. But remember, it's not a treasure, it's a toy. And toys are more fun when you share them with others. Now, why don't you go and see if you can find more crystals in the soil? Maybe you can make a necklace or a bracelet or a crown. Or maybe you can just admire them and guess their stories. It's up to you. Just have fun and be nice to each other." + +Tim and Sue hug their mom and say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love the crystal. And we love each other." + +They run back to the soil and start to dig and look and play. They are happy and friendly. They have an ordinary stone, but an extraordinary day. +Tom was sick. He had a bad cough and a fever. He felt hot and cold at the same time. He shivered under his blanket. His mom took him to the doctor. + +The doctor was nice. He listened to Tom's chest with a stethoscope. He said Tom had pneumonia. He needed an x-ray. Tom was scared. He did not know what an x-ray was. + +The doctor took Tom to a big machine. He said it was like a camera. It could take a picture of Tom's lungs. Tom had to stand still and hold his breath. The machine made a beep sound. Tom did not feel anything. The doctor showed Tom the picture. He pointed to a dark spot. He said that was the pneumonia. He gave Tom some medicine. He said it would make him better. + +Tom went home with his mom. He had to rest in bed. His mom made him some soup. It was yummy. She read him a story. It was funny. Tom felt a little better. He smiled at his mom. He said thank you. He hugged her. He fell asleep. He dreamed of playing outside. He hoped he would get well soon. +Lily and Tom are playing with a ball in the park. They throw the ball to each other and laugh. Lily likes to catch the ball and Tom likes to make the ball go high. + +One time, Tom throws the ball very high. Lily looks up and tries to catch the ball. But the ball goes too high and too far. It flies over the fence and lands on the road. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "The ball is on the road. We have to get it back." + +Lily and Tom run to the fence and look at the road. They see a big car coming. The car is fast and loud. The car hits the ball and makes it pop. The ball is flat and broken on the ground. + +Lily and Tom are sad and confused. They don't understand why the car did that. They liked their ball. It was round and bouncy and fun. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom says. "It was my fault. I threw the ball too hard." + +"It's okay, Tom," Lily says. "It was an accident. Maybe we can get a new ball." + +They hug each other and walk back to their mom. Their mom sees their faces and asks what happened. They tell her about the ball and the car and the ground. Their mom hugs them and says she is sorry. She says she will buy them a new ball. + +Lily and Tom smile and say thank you. They are still sad, but they are also happy. They have each other and their mom. They will play with their new ball tomorrow. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand. They blow bubbles in the garden. The bubbles are shiny and round. They float in the air. + +"Look, Sara, I made a big bubble!" Ben says. He shows Sara his bubble. It is bigger than his head. + +"Wow, Ben, that is a big bubble!" Sara says. She tries to make a big bubble too. She blows hard on the wand. But her bubble pops. She feels sad. + +"Don't be sad, Sara. We can make a big bubble together," Ben says. He has an idea. He gives Sara his wand. He says, "Let's unite our wands. Then we can blow a bigger bubble." + +Sara likes Ben's idea. She takes his wand. She holds it next to her wand. They unite their wands. They blow together on the wands. They make a huge bubble. It is bigger than both of them. + +"Wow, we did it!" Sara and Ben say. They are happy. They clap their hands. They watch the huge bubble. It floats over the fence. It lands on the neighbor's car. The neighbor is Mr. Lee. He is very tidy. He does not like bubbles on his car. + +"Hey, you kids, stop blowing bubbles on my car!" Mr. Lee says. He is angry. He comes out of his house. He has a towel. He wipes the bubble off his car. + +"Sorry, Mr. Lee. We did not mean to," Sara and Ben say. They are scared. They run inside their house. They hide under the bed. They hug each other. They whisper, "We still like bubbles. But maybe we should not blow them so big." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They found a big pit that someone had dug before. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's stir the mud and see what we find!" Ben said. He took a stick and poked the pit. + +"Maybe we find a treasure or a worm!" Anna said. She took another stick and joined Ben. + +They stirred and stirred the mud. It was wet and sticky and brown. They did not find any treasure or worm. But they found something else. + +"Look! A snake!" Ben shouted. He saw a long, thin, green thing moving in the mud. It had a red tongue and black eyes. It was not adorable. It was scary. + +"Run!" Anna screamed. She dropped her stick and ran away from the pit. Ben tried to run too, but he was too late. The snake bit his leg. It hurt a lot. He fell down and cried. + +Anna ran to the house and called for help. She was very scared and sad. She hoped Ben would be okay. But he was not. The snake was poisonous. Ben did not get better. He died. The end. +Sara liked to play with her toy farm. She had a cow, a pig, a sheep and a horse. She gave them names and made them talk to each other. She also had a bag of oats that she pretended was their food. + +One day, she heard a loud noise outside. She ran to the window and saw a big truck. The truck had a picture of a horse on it. Sara wondered if the truck had a real horse inside. She wanted to see it. + +She put on her shoes and ran to the door. She asked her mom if she could go outside. Her mom said yes, but she had to stay close to the house. Sara nodded and ran to the truck. + +She saw a man open the back of the truck. He took out a big brown horse. The horse looked like Sara's toy horse, but much bigger and alive. Sara was amazed. She wanted to pet the horse. + +She walked slowly to the horse. The man saw her and smiled. He said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like horses?" Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, I have a toy horse. His name is Spot. He likes oats." + +The man laughed. He said, "Well, this horse likes oats too. His name is Lucky. Do you want to feed him some oats?" Sara nodded again. She said, "Yes, please." + +The man gave Sara a handful of oats. He said, "Hold your hand flat and let him eat from your palm. Be gentle and don't be afraid. He won't bite you. He's a good horse." + +Sara did what the man said. She held her hand flat and let Lucky eat the oats. She felt his soft nose and his warm breath. She smiled. She said, "He's nice. I like him." + +The man said, "He likes you too. You're a good girl. Do you want to ride him?" Sara gasped. She said, "Really? Can I?" + +The man said, "Sure, why not? I'll help you. Just hold on to his mane and don't let go. He'll take you for a short ride around the truck. Do you believe me?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, I believe you. I want to ride Lucky." + +The man lifted Sara and put her on Lucky's back. He said, "Are you ready?" Sara said, "Yes, I'm ready." + +The man said, "Okay, Lucky, let's go." He walked beside Lucky and guided him around the truck. Sara held on to Lucky's mane and felt the wind in her hair. She laughed. She said, "This is fun. I love Lucky." + +The man said, "I'm glad you do. He's a special horse. He's a circus horse. He can do tricks and jump through hoops. He's very smart and brave. Do you want to see him perform?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I do. Can I?" + +The man said, "Sure, you can. Come with me. I'll show you where the circus is. It's not far from here. You can watch Lucky and the other animals do amazing things. Do you want to go?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I do. Can I?" + +The man said, "Of course, you can. But first, you have to ask your mom. She has to come with you. It's not safe to go alone. Do you understand?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I understand. I'll ask my mom. Thank you, mister. Thank you, Lucky. You're the best." + +The man said, "You're welcome, Sara. You're the best too. Come on, Lucky. Let's go back to the truck. We'll wait for Sara and her mom. They'll join us soon." + +Sara got off Lucky's back and hugged him. She said, "Bye, Lucky. See you soon. I'll bring you more oats." + +Lucky neighed and licked her cheek. He said, "Bye, Sara. See you soon. I'll do my best for you." + +Sara ran back to the house. She told her mom everything. She said, "Mom, can we go to the circus? Please, please, please. I want to see Lucky and the other animals. Please, mom." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Sure, Sara. We can go to the circus. It sounds like fun. Let me get my purse and we'll go. Do you have your toy horse?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I do. I have Spot. He wants to see Lucky too. He's his friend." + +Her mom said, "Okay, then. Let's go. We don't want to miss the show. Come on, Sara. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big red truck. She would drive it around the house and make loud noises. She was very happy with her truck. + +One day, her mom called her for lunch. She said, "Lily, come and eat your lunch. It is yummy and good for you." Lily did not want to stop playing. She said, "No, mom, I want to play with my truck. I am not hungry." Her mom said, "Lily, you have to eat your lunch. It is not nice to waste food. And you need to grow strong and healthy." Lily did not listen. She said, "No, mom, I don't care. I love my truck more than food." + +Lily kept playing with her truck. She drove it on the sofa, on the table, on the floor. She did not see that her mom had left her lunch on the table. She drove her truck on the table and knocked over her lunch. The plate fell and broke. The food spilled and made a mess. Lily did not notice. She was too busy with her truck. + +Then, her mom came back and saw what Lily had done. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Lily, look what you did! You destroyed your lunch and made a big mess. How could you be so careless and rude? You wasted good food and broke a plate. You should be ashamed of yourself." Lily looked at her mom and saw her face. She felt bad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not mean to destroy my lunch. I was just playing with my truck. I did not see the lunch. I was not eager to eat. I was eager to play." Her mom said, "Lily, playing is fun, but you have to be careful and respectful. You have to listen to your mom and eat your lunch. You have to be thankful for what you have and not waste it. You have to learn to share and care. Do you understand?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to clean up this mess and say sorry to the plate. And you have to eat your lunch, even if it is cold and messy. And you have to put away your truck for a while. It is time for a nap." Lily said, "OK, mom. I will do that. I will be a good girl." She hugged her mom and said sorry to the plate. She ate her lunch and cleaned up the mess. She put away her truck and went to take a nap. She learned her lesson. She decided to be more careful and respectful. She decided to listen to her mom and eat her lunch. She decided to be thankful for what she had and not waste it. She decided to share and care. She was a good girl. +Lily was miserable. She did not want to seat on her chair and eat her soup. She wanted to play with her toys and watch her favorite show. But Mommy said no. Mommy said it was evening and time for dinner and bed. + +"But I'm not hungry!" Lily whined. "And I don't like soup! It's yucky!" + +Mommy sighed. "Lily, you have to eat something. Soup is good for you. It has carrots and chicken and noodles. And you can have some juice and a cookie after." + +Lily pouted. She did not care about carrots and chicken and noodles. She did not even want juice and a cookie. She wanted to have fun, not seat and eat. + +She pushed her bowl away and crossed her arms. "No! I won't eat it! You can't make me!" + +Mommy frowned. She was tired and had a lot of work to do. She did not have time for Lily's tantrum. She took a deep breath and tried to be calm. + +"Lily, this is your last chance. If you don't seat and eat your soup, you will go to your room with no toys and no show. Do you understand?" + +Lily glared at Mommy. She did not like Mommy's tone. She did not like Mommy's rules. She did not like Mommy at all. + +She jumped off her chair and ran to her room. She slammed the door behind her. She did not care about soup or juice or cookies. She did not care about Mommy or dinner or bed. She only cared about herself. + +She threw herself on her bed and cried. She was miserable. And she was alone. +Lia and Tom are playing in the sandbox. They have a bucket and a shovel. They want to make a castle with sand. + +"Let's fill the bucket with sand," says Lia. "Then we can dump it and make a tower." + +"OK," says Tom. He digs with the shovel and fills the bucket with sand. Lia helps him. They fill the bucket until it is full. + +They lift the bucket and carry it to a flat spot. They turn the bucket over and dump the sand. The sand makes a shape like the bucket. + +"Wow, look at our tower!" says Lia. "It is so big and round." + +They make more towers with more sand. They make a wall around their towers. They make a castle with sand. + +They are happy with their castle. They want to decorate it. They look for things to put on their castle. + +Lia finds a shell. It is white and shiny. It has a swirl on it. It is rare. She puts it on top of a tower. + +"Look, Tom, I found a shell!" she says. "It is rare. It is pretty. It is our flag." + +Tom finds a feather. It is brown and soft. It has stripes on it. It is rare. He puts it on another tower. + +"Look, Lia, I found a feather!" he says. "It is rare. It is nice. It is our banner." + +They find more things to put on their castle. They find stones, sticks, leaves, and flowers. They make their castle beautiful. + +They are proud of their castle. They want to show it to their mom. They run to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She has a book and a bottle of water. + +"Mom, mom, come and see our castle!" they say. "We made it with sand. We filled the bucket and dumped it. We found rare things to put on it. It is the best castle ever!" + +Their mom smiles. She puts down her book and the bottle of water. She follows them to the sandbox. + +She sees their castle. She sees the shell, the feather, and the other things. She sees their happy faces. + +She hugs them. She says, "Wow, what a wonderful castle! You did a great job. You are very creative. I love your castle. And I love you." + +They hug her back. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you too." + +They show her their castle. They tell her about their towers, their wall, and their rare things. They have fun with their mom. + +But then, something happens. The sky gets dark. The wind blows. The rain falls. + +The rain is wet. It is very wet. It falls on their castle. It falls on their rare things. It falls on them. + +Their castle gets wet. Their rare things get wet. They get wet. + +Their castle melts. Their rare things fall. They are sad. + +They cry. They say, "Oh no, our castle! Our rare things! They are gone. They are ruined. We worked so hard. We liked them so much." + +Their mom sees them. She sees their castle. She sees their rare things. She sees their wet clothes and faces. + +She feels sorry for them. She says, "Oh, I'm sorry, my darlings. I know you loved your castle and your rare things. They were very special. But don't worry. They are not gone forever. They are still here. They are just different." + +She picks up the shell. It is still white and shiny. It still has a swirl on it. It is still rare. She says, "Look, the shell is still here. It is still rare. It is still pretty. It is just wet. It will dry soon. You can keep it. You can put it in your room. You can remember your castle." + +She picks up the feather. It is still brown and soft. It still has stripes on it. It is still rare. She says, "Look, the feather is still here. It is still rare. It is still nice. It is just wet. It will dry soon. You can keep it. You can put it in your room. You can remember your castle." + +She picks up the other things. They are still there. They are still rare. They are still beautiful. They are just wet. They will dry soon. She says, "You can keep them. You can put them in your room. You can remember your castle." + +She hugs them. She says, "You can make another castle. You can make it with sand. You can fill the bucket and dump it. You can find more rare things to put on it. You can have fun again. You can be happy again." + +They hug her back. They say, "Thank you, +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. But there was a boy on the slide who did not want to share. + +"Go away!" he shouted. "This is my slide!" + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to slide too. Their mom came and talked to the boy. + +"Hello, what is your name?" she asked. + +"Max," he said. + +"Max, can you please let Lily and Tom slide too? They are very nice and they will wait their turn," she said. + +"No, I don't want to. This is my slide!" he said again. + +He wore a mask on his face. It was an old mask that looked like a lion. It had holes for his eyes and mouth. + +"Why do you wear a mask, Max?" Lily asked. + +"Because I am a lion. I roar and scare everyone away," he said. + +He roared loudly and made a scary face. + +Lily and Tom were not scared. They liked lions. They had a book about lions at home. + +"Lions are cool," Tom said. "But they are not mean. They share with their friends." + +"Yeah, and they have fun together," Lily said. + +They smiled at Max. They wanted to be his friends. + +Max felt confused. He thought his mask would make everyone leave him alone. He did not have many friends. He was lonely. + +He looked at Lily and Tom. They seemed nice. Maybe they could play with him. + +He took off his mask and showed his face. He had brown hair and green eyes. + +"Hi, I'm Max," he said. + +"Hi, Max," Lily and Tom said. + +"Do you want to slide with us?" Tom asked. + +Max nodded. He felt happy. + +"Okay, but you have to wait your turn," Lily said. + +"Okay, I will," Max said. + +They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They laughed and had fun. They became friends. + +Their mom watched them and smiled. She was glad they learned to share and play together. She picked up Max's mask and put it in her bag. + +"Maybe you can use this mask for Halloween, Max," she said. + +"Maybe," Max said. "But I don't need it now. I have friends." +Anna was going to a new school. She was a little scared. She did not know anyone there. She wore a uniform. It was orange and white. She liked orange. It was a happy color. + +She walked with her mom to the school. She saw a big playground. She saw many kids. They wore the same uniform as her. She saw a teacher. She smiled at Anna and her mom. + +"Hello, I am Miss Lee. I am your teacher. What is your name?" the teacher asked. + +"I am Anna," Anna said in a small voice. + +"Nice to meet you, Anna. You are very brave to come to a new school. Do you want me to introduce you to some of your classmates?" the teacher said. + +Anna nodded. She wanted to make friends. She followed the teacher to a group of kids. They were playing with blocks and cars. + +"Hello, everyone. This is Anna. She is new here. Can you say hello to her?" the teacher said. + +"Hello, Anna!" the kids said. + +"Hi," Anna said. + +One of the kids came closer to Anna. She had long brown hair and a big smile. + +"I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +"Yes, please," Anna said. + +Lily took Anna's hand and led her to the blocks. They started to build a tower together. Anna felt happy. She liked Lily. She liked her new school. She was not scared anymore. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with many birds on it. They wanted to see the birds up close, so they climbed the tree. They were very careful not to make any noise, because they knew the birds would fly away if they heard them. + +They reached a branch where they saw a nest with three eggs inside. They were very curious and wanted to touch the eggs. But Lily remembered what their mom had told them: "Never touch a bird's nest, it is their home and they will be angry if you disturb them. It is also dangerous, because some birds can bite or scratch you." + +Lily whispered to Ben: "We should not touch the nest, it is not nice and it is dangerous. Let's go back down and watch the birds from far away." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He wanted to touch the nest and see how the eggs felt. He reached out his hand and touched one of the eggs. Suddenly, a loud squawk came from above. It was the mother bird, who had seen Ben touch her nest. She was very angry and flew down to attack Ben. She bit his finger and scratched his face. Ben screamed and let go of the egg. It fell to the ground and broke. + +Lily and Ben were very scared and ran down the tree. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw their faces and asked them what had happened. They told her the truth and said they were sorry. She hugged them and said: "I'm glad you are okay, but you should have listened to me and to Lily. You should never touch a bird's nest, it is their home and they will be angry if you disturb them. It is also dangerous, because some birds can bite or scratch you. You also hurt the bird and her egg, which is very sad. Next time, be more respectful and careful of nature and its creatures." + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson and never touched a bird's nest again. They also apologized to the mother bird and her babies, who had hatched from the other two eggs. They watched the birds from far away and enjoyed their beauty and songs. They realized that the best way to love nature is to leave it alone and admire it from a distance. +Mia and Leo were playing in the living room. They saw a big box on the shelf. They wanted to see what was inside. They climbed on the sofa and reached for the box. + +"Be careful!" Mia said. "Don't touch anything!" + +But Leo was curious. He opened the box and saw many photos. He took one out and looked at it. It was a photo of a man and a woman. They were smiling and holding a baby. + +"Who are they?" Leo asked. + +Mia looked at the photo and felt upset. She knew who they were. They were her parents. They had gone away a long time ago. She missed them very much. + +"They are my mom and dad," Mia said. "And that's me when I was a baby." + +Leo saw that Mia was sad. He wanted to make her feel better. He gave her a hug and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't know." + +Mia hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Leo. You are my friend. You make me happy." + +They put the photo back in the box and closed it. They got down from the sofa and played with their toys. They were happy to have each other. +Ben was a spoiled bunny. He had many toys, but he did not like to share. He wanted to play with everything by himself. He did not like to listen to his mommy or daddy. He did not like to eat his carrots or clean his room. + +One day, Ben saw a big clock on the wall. He liked how it ticked and tocked. He wanted to touch it and play with it. He did not ask his mommy or daddy. He hopped on a chair and reached for the clock. But he was too small and he slipped. He fell down and hit his head. The clock fell down too and broke. + +Ben cried and cried. His mommy and daddy came and hugged him. They were worried and angry. They checked his head and put a band-aid on it. They told him he was naughty and he had to say sorry. They told him he had to help fix the clock and pay for it with his allowance. They told him he had to learn to be nice and share. + +Ben felt sorry and sad. He said sorry to his mommy and daddy. He said sorry to the clock. He helped fix the clock and gave some of his allowance. He learned his lesson. He decided to be a good bunny. He started to share his toys and listen to his mommy and daddy. He started to eat his carrots and clean his room. He was still a spoiled bunny, but he was a happy bunny too. +Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. One day, her mom gave her a big red tomato to cut. Sara was happy. She took a knife and tried to cut the tomato. + +But the knife was too sharp and the tomato was too slippery. Sara cut her finger by mistake. She cried out loud. Blood came out of her finger. It hurt a lot. Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She took Sara's hand and wrapped it with a cloth. She said, "Don't worry, Sara. It's just a small cut. I'll take you to the doctor. He'll make it better." + +Sara was scared. She didn't like the doctor. He had a white coat and a big needle. He always made her feel more pain. She begged her mom, "Please, mom, don't take me to the doctor. I don't want the needle. I'll be fine. Just wipe my finger with water and give me a band-aid." + +But her mom didn't listen. She said, "Sara, you have to go to the doctor. Your cut is deep and it might get infected. The needle will help you heal faster. It won't hurt much. I'll be with you all the time. Trust me, Sara. I love you." + +Sara didn't trust her mom. She was angry and sad. She thought her mom didn't love her. She thought her mom wanted to hurt her. She thought her mom didn't care about her unique tomato. She hated her mom. She hated the doctor. She hated the knife. She hated the tomato. She wished she never tried to cut the tomato. She wished she never helped her mom in the kitchen. She wished she never was born. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They have warm coats and boots and hats and gloves. But Anna does not like her coat. It has a zipper that is hard to pull up and down. + +"Mom, I don't want this coat!" Anna says. "The zipper is bad. It gets stuck and hurts my fingers. I want a coat with buttons." + +Mom smiles and hugs Anna. "I know, sweetie, but this coat is very cozy and keeps you from getting cold. The zipper is not bad, it just needs some practice. Here, let me help you." Mom shows Anna how to hold the zipper and slide it gently. + +Ben watches and laughs. "Anna, you are silly. Zippers are fun. Look, I can zip and unzip my coat very fast. Zip, zip, zip!" He makes a sound with his mouth. + +Anna frowns and complains. "Ben, you are mean. You are making fun of me. Stop it!" + +Mom shakes her head and says, "Ben, don't tease your sister. Anna, don't be mad at your brother. He is just trying to make you laugh. Come on, let's go outside and build a snowman. It's a clear day and the sun is shining. You will forget about the zipper soon." + +Anna and Ben nod and follow Mom outside. They have fun playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf. They forget about the zipper and the buttons. They are happy. +Tom was a chubby cat who liked to sleep on the sofa. He did not like to play with the other cats or chase the birds. He was too lazy and sleepy. One day, he saw a shiny feather on the floor. It was blue and green and looked very pretty. Tom wanted to have the feather for himself. + +He got up from the sofa and walked slowly to the feather. He reached out his paw to grab it. But the feather moved. It was not a feather. It was a bird. A small bird who had flown in through the window. The bird was scared of Tom and flew away. Tom was surprised and angry. He wanted the feather. + +He jumped off the floor and ran to the window. He saw the bird sitting on a branch outside. The bird was holding the feather in its beak. It looked at Tom and made a loud noise. Tom made a loud noise too. He wanted the bird to come back. He wanted the feather. + +He raised his paw and tried to catch the bird. But the bird was too fast and too smart. It flew away again. Tom hit the window with his paw. He made a big noise. He broke the window. Glass fell on the floor. Tom hurt his paw. He cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Tom on the window sill. She saw the broken glass on the floor. She saw the blood on Tom's paw. She was not happy. She picked up Tom and took him to the vet. She said Tom was a naughty cat. She said he had to learn to share. She said he could not have the feather. Tom was sad. He wished he had stayed on the sofa. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But when it is night, they have to sleep in their beds. Mama and Papa help them get ready for bed. + +"Time to sleep, my loves," Mama says. She gives them each a hug and a kiss. She puts lotion on their hands and faces. The lotion smells good and makes their skin soft. + +"Can you read us a story, Mama?" Lily asks. She likes stories about animals and fairies. + +"Me too, me too," Ben says. He likes stories about cars and rockets. + +"Okay, one story," Mama says. She picks a book from the shelf. It is a story about a clever fox who tricks a lazy dog. + +Mama reads the story with funny voices. Lily and Ben laugh and listen. They like the clever fox. They think he is smart and funny. + +When the story is over, Mama says, "Now it is time to sleep. Close your eyes and dream of the clever fox." + +Lily and Ben close their eyes. They feel cozy and warm. They say, "Good night, Mama. We love you." + +"Good night, my loves. I love you too," Mama says. She turns off the light and leaves the room. + +Lily and Ben sleep peacefully. They dream of the clever fox and his adventures. They are happy and safe. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. Anna goes first. She sits on the slide and zips down. She laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and zips down. He laughs and says, "That was fun, too!" + +They go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. + +After a while, they feel hungry. They go to their moms. Their moms have a picnic basket. They open the basket and take out some food. + +"Look, we have yogurt!" Anna's mom says. + +"Yummy, I like yogurt!" Anna says. + +"Me too!" Ben says. + +Their moms give them each a cup of yogurt. They use spoons to eat the yogurt. They like the yogurt. It is sweet and creamy. + +But Ben's yogurt is heavy. He holds it with both hands. He tries to lift it to his mouth. But he drops it. The yogurt spills on the ground. + +"Oh no!" Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben!" Anna says. + +"It's OK, Ben. Don't cry. We have more yogurt." Ben's mom says. + +She gives him another cup of yogurt. She helps him hold it. He eats the yogurt. He smiles. + +"Thank you, mom!" Ben says. + +"You're welcome, Ben!" Ben's mom says. + +Anna and Ben finish their yogurt. They wipe their mouths. They say thank you to their moms. + +"Can we play some more?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but be careful!" Anna's mom says. + +"OK!" Anna and Ben say. + +They run back to the slide. They zip down the slide. They have more fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They waited for spring to come, because spring meant flowers and birds and sun. But spring was late this year, and the twins were sad. + +One day, they saw a big, ugly bug on their window. It had long legs and wings and a hard shell. Lily was scared of the bug and ran away. Ben was curious and went closer. He wanted to tell Lily that the bug was not so bad. + +"Look, Lily, it's a ladybug!" he said. "It's not ugly, it's pretty. It has spots and colors. And it can fly. Maybe it came to tell us that spring is here." + +Lily peeked from behind the sofa. She saw the bug on Ben's finger. She did not think it was pretty. She thought it was gross. She did not want it near her. + +"Get it away from me, Ben!" she shouted. "It's not a ladybug, it's a monster! It will bite you and make you sick. And it will eat all the flowers and birds and sun. It came to ruin spring, not to tell us about it." + +Ben was hurt by Lily's words. He liked the bug and wanted to share it with her. He did not think it was a monster or that it would do any harm. He thought Lily was being mean and silly. + +"No, Lily, you're wrong!" he said. "It's a ladybug, and it's nice. It won't bite me or make me sick. And it won't eat anything, it will help the flowers and birds and sun. It came to bring spring, not to ruin it." + +The twins argued and yelled at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not notice that the bug flew away from the window. They did not see that outside, the snow was melting and the grass was green and the sky was blue. They did not hear that the birds were singing and the flowers were blooming. They did not feel that the sun was warm and the air was fresh. They did not know that spring was here. +Tim and Ben are friends. They like to play with trains. Tim has a big, expensive train that can make steam. Ben has a small, cheap train that cannot make steam. Tim thinks his train is better than Ben's train. + +One day, they decide to race their trains on the track. Tim says, "My train is faster and stronger than your train. It can make steam and go whoosh! Your train is slow and weak. It cannot make steam and go whoosh. I will win the race!" + +Ben says, "No, your train is not faster and stronger than my train. It is big and heavy. It can make steam and go whoosh, but it also uses a lot of coal. My train is small and light. It cannot make steam and go whoosh, but it also uses less coal. I will win the race!" + +They put their trains on the track and start the race. Tim's train makes steam and goes whoosh. Ben's train does not make steam and goes vroom. They go around the track, faster and faster. Tim's train is ahead of Ben's train. Tim laughs and says, "Ha ha, I told you my train is better than your train. You will never catch up with me!" + +But then, something bad happens. Tim's train runs out of coal. It stops making steam and goes pfft. It slows down and stops on the track. Ben's train does not run out of coal. It keeps going vroom. It catches up with Tim's train and crashes into it. The trains break and fall off the track. Tim and Ben cry and say, "Oh no, our trains are ruined!" + +Tim and Ben are sad. They have no trains to play with. They wish they did not race their trains. They wish they were nice to each other. They learn a lesson. Racing is not fun. Sharing is fun. +Sam and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big hill with many leaves on it. They want to have fun. + +"Let's roll down the hill!" Sam says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They run to the top of the hill and lie down on the leaves. They hold hands and start to roll. They feel the cool air on their faces and the leaves tickle their ears. They laugh and shout. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily says. + +"I like the leaves!" Sam says. + +They roll and roll until they reach the bottom of the hill. They are dizzy and happy. They look at each other and smile. + +"Let's do it again!" Sam says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They get up and run to the top of the hill again. They lie down on the leaves and hold hands. They are ready to roll. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some sticks. They made a castle with the box and the sticks. Tom said, "I am the king of the castle. You are the dragon. You have to try to destroy my castle." Lily said, "OK, I am the dragon. I will breathe fire and knock down your castle." + +Lily pretended to be a dragon. She made loud noises and moved her arms. She pushed the box and the sticks with her hands. Tom did not like that. He said, "Stop, stop, you are ruining my castle. You are a bad dragon." Lily said, "But that is what dragons do. They destroy castles. It is fun." Tom said, "No, it is not fun. It is mean. Go away, dragon." + +Tom was angry. He picked up a stick. He said, "This is my sword. I will fight you, dragon. I will make you go away." Lily said, "You cannot fight me. You are too small. I am a big dragon. I will eat you." Tom said, "No, you will not. I am brave. I will hit you with my sword." He ran towards Lily with the stick. + +Lily did not want to fight. She wanted to play. She said, "Tom, stop, stop, it is only a game. Do not hit me with the stick. It will hurt." But Tom did not listen. He was too angry. He swung the stick at Lily. He hit her on the head. Lily cried out. She fell to the ground. She was bleeding. She was hurt. + +Tom saw what he did. He dropped the stick. He was scared. He said, "Lily, Lily, I am sorry, I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. Please do not cry. Please be OK." But Lily did not answer. She did not move. She did not breathe. Tom did not know what to do. He ran to the house. He called for his mom. He said, "Mom, mom, something bad happened. I hit Lily with a stick. She is not OK. She is not OK." +Sam and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and watch cartoons. One day, they saw their mom put her wallet in her purse. They wanted to see what was inside the wallet. + +"Let's go to mom's purse and look at her wallet," Sam said to Lily. + +"Okay, but we have to be quiet. Mom is in the kitchen," Lily said. + +They tiptoed to the living room and found mom's purse on the sofa. They opened it and took out the wallet. It was shiny and had many cards and papers and coins. + +"Wow, look at all this!" Sam said. He took out a card with a picture of a store. "This is a store card. Mom uses it to buy things at the store." + +"Can we use it too?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, why not? Let's go to the store and buy some candy and toys," Sam said. He put the card in his pocket and gave the wallet to Lily. "You hold the wallet. I'll hold the card. We are so lucky!" + +They ran out of the house and went to the store. They saw many things they liked. They picked some candy and toys and went to the cashier. + +"Hello, kids. Do you have money to pay for these?" the cashier asked. + +"Yes, we have a store card," Sam said. He gave the card to the cashier. + +The cashier looked at the card and frowned. "This is not a store card. This is a library card. You can't use this to buy things. Where did you get this?" + +Sam and Lily did not know what to say. They felt scared and confused. They wanted to run away, but the cashier stopped them. + +"Wait a minute. Where are your parents? How did you get here? What is this?" the cashier said. He took the wallet from Lily and opened it. He saw mom's name and phone number on a paper. He called mom and told her what happened. + +Mom was very angry and worried. She came to the store and saw Sam and Lily. She took the wallet and the card from the cashier and scolded them. + +"How could you do this? You took my wallet and my library card without asking. You lied to the cashier. You could have been lost or hurt. You are in big trouble!" mom said. + +Sam and Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. They cried and said they were sorry. Mom took them home and punished them. They had to return the candy and the toys. They had to stay in their room. They had to read books from the library. They were not lucky at all. They were very unlucky. +Lily was restless. She did not want to sleep in her bed. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. She looked at the ceiling and saw the stars and moon that her dad had stuck there. She liked them, but they did not make her sleepy. + +She got out of her bed and tiptoed to the door. She opened it a little and peeked outside. She saw the light in the living room. She heard her mom and dad talking. She wanted to join them. She thought they would not mind. + +She walked quietly down the hall. She did not recognize the man who was sitting on the couch with her dad. He had a big bag and a scary mask. He was holding something shiny and pointy. He was not a friend. + +He saw Lily and pointed at her. He said something to her dad. Her dad looked at her and his face was sad and scared. He said, "Lily, go back to your room. Now!" + +But Lily did not listen. She was curious. She wanted to see the man and his bag and his mask and his shiny thing. She took a step closer. + +The man got angry. He jumped up and ran to Lily. He grabbed her and put the shiny thing to her neck. He said, "Give me the money or I'll hurt her!" + +Lily screamed. She was scared. She did not understand. She wished she had stayed in her bed. She wished she had listened to her dad. She wished she had never seen the man. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to dig in the dirt. One day, they found a shiny gem in the ground. They were very happy and wanted to keep it. But they did not know that the gem belonged to a mean giant who lived in the mountain. + +The giant saw the brothers with his gem and was very angry. He ran after them and shouted, "Give me back my gem, or I will eat you!" Tim and Sam were scared and ran away. They tried to hide in a cave, but the giant followed them. He was very big and strong and could break rocks with his hands. + +Tim and Sam were trapped in the cave. They had no way out. They wished they had never found the gem. They hugged each other and cried. The giant reached for them and grabbed them. He put them in his mouth and chewed them. He was very hungry and liked the taste of boys. He swallowed them and smiled. He had gained his gem and a snack. He was not restless anymore. He went back to his mountain and slept. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy planes. They make them soar in the air and make zoom and whoosh sounds. They pretend they are pilots and go on adventures. + +One day, they smell something good from the kitchen. It is pie! Mom is baking apple pie for dessert. Ben and Sam love pie. They run to the kitchen and ask Mom if they can have some. + +"Not yet, my sweeties," Mom says. "The pie is still hot. You have to wait until after dinner." + +Ben and Sam are sad. They want pie now. They go back to their room and play with their planes. But they keep thinking about the pie. + +They have an idea. They sneak out of their room and go to the kitchen. They see the pie on the table. It looks yummy. They grab a big piece each and run away. + +But Mom sees them. She is angry. She says, "Hey, you naughty boys! Come back here with my pie!" + +Ben and Sam are scared. They run faster. They run outside and see their dad. He is painting the fence blue. He is surprised to see them with pie. + +"What are you doing with that pie?" Dad asks. + +Ben and Sam do not know what to say. They look at each other. They look at the pie. They look at the fence. + +They have another idea. They throw the pie at the fence. The pie splats on the blue paint. It makes a mess. + +Ben and Sam laugh. They think it is funny. They make their planes soar in the air and say, "We are pie bombers! We bomb the fence with pie!" + +Mom and Dad do not laugh. They are not happy. They say, "You are in big trouble, young men! You wasted the pie and ruined the fence. You have to clean up and apologize. And no more pie for you tonight!" + +Ben and Sam are sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We just wanted some pie. We will clean up and say sorry to the fence." + +Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We love you, Ben and Sam. But you have to learn to be patient and respectful. Pie is for sharing, not throwing. And fences are for painting, not bombing." + +Ben and Sam nod. They understand. They help Mom and Dad clean up the pie and the fence. They say sorry to the fence. They hope the fence is not too mad at them. + +They go back to their room and play with their planes. They do not soar them in the air. They land them on the ground. They pretend they are pie makers and make pretend pies for everyone. They say, "We are pie makers! We make pies for Mom and Dad and the fence!" + +They smile. They are happy. They do not need real pie. They have pretend pie. And they have each other. +Lila and Ben were waiting for their dad to arrive. He had been away for a long time, working in a far place. They missed him a lot and wanted to hug him and play with him. + +They looked out of the window and saw the snow falling. It was very cold outside. They put on their coats and hats and gloves and boots. They wanted to be ready when their dad came. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It stopped in front of their house. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw their dad getting out of the truck. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Daddy!" they shouted. They ran to him and hugged him. He lifted them up and kissed them. + +"Hello, my loves!" he said. "I'm so happy to see you! How are you?" + +"We're good, Daddy!" they said. "We missed you so much! Did you bring us something?" + +He laughed and nodded. He reached into his truck and took out a big box. He carried it into the house. + +"Let's see what's inside!" he said. He opened the box and showed them. It was full of toys and books and clothes and candy. + +"Wow!" they said. "Thank you, Daddy! You're the best!" + +They hugged him again and started to play with their new things. They were very happy. They forgot about the cold and the noise. They only cared about their dad. He was finally home. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They ran to the tree and started to climb. Lily went first and Ben followed. They were very happy and laughed. They reached a high branch and looked around. They saw many birds and flowers and clouds. + +But then they heard a loud roar. They turned and saw a monster. The monster was big and hairy and had sharp teeth and claws. The monster was angry and wanted to eat them. Lily and Ben were scared and screamed. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a monster in the tree!" + +The monster came closer and closer. It reached out its paw and tried to grab them. Lily and Ben dodged and kicked and slapped. They slapped the monster hard on its nose. + +"Ow! Ow!" the monster cried. "That hurts! Stop it!" + +Lily and Ben saw a chance and jumped down from the tree. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"Mom, Dad, there was a monster in the tree!" they said. "It was big and hairy and scary! We slapped it and ran away!" + +Mom and Dad looked at the tree and saw the monster. The monster was not a monster. It was a beautiful bear. The bear was not angry. It was scared and confused. It had climbed the tree to find some honey. It did not want to eat Lily and Ben. It wanted to be friends. + +Mom and Dad smiled and explained to Lily and Ben. They said the bear was not a monster, but a beautiful animal. They said they should not slap the bear, but be gentle and kind. They said they should say sorry to the bear and give it some honey. + +Lily and Ben understood and felt sorry. They went back to the tree and said sorry to the bear. They gave it some honey and stroked its fur. The bear licked their faces and wagged its tail. It was happy and grateful. + +Lily and Ben made a new friend. They learned to not judge by looks, but by heart. They learned to be brave and kind. They had a wonderful day in the park. +Ben and Sam like to play hockey with their sticks and a ball. They have a net in their yard and they take turns to shoot and to guard. One day, they see a big truck on the street. The truck has many boxes and bags on it. The truck driver is loading the truck. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben says. "It has so many things on it. I wonder where it is going." + +"Maybe it is going to a far away place," Sam says. "Maybe it is going to the North Pole or to the jungle." + +Ben has an idea. He runs to the truck and grabs a box. He puts it on his stick and pretends it is a ball. He runs back to the yard and shoots the box at the net. + +"Goal!" Ben shouts. "I am the best hockey player ever!" + +Sam laughs and claps. He thinks Ben is funny and clever. He runs to the truck and grabs a bag. He puts it on his stick and shoots the bag at the net. + +"Goal!" Sam shouts. "I am the best hockey player too!" + +The truck driver sees Ben and Sam taking his things. He is angry and scared. He runs to the yard and yells at them. + +"Hey, you foolish kids! What are you doing with my stuff? That is not a ball, that is a box of books! And that is not a bag, that is a bag of clothes! Give them back to me right now!" + +Ben and Sam are shocked and scared. They drop their sticks and the box and the bag. They say sorry to the truck driver and run to their house. They hide in their room and cry. + +They learn a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should not play with things that are not toys. They should not be foolish. They should be good. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to eat ice cream. One day, their mom gave them each a bowl of ice cream with a spoon. Lily got vanilla ice cream and Max got chocolate ice cream. + +Lily looked at Max's bowl and wanted some chocolate ice cream too. She was jealous of Max. She reached for his spoon and tried to take some of his ice cream. Max saw what she was doing and pulled his bowl away. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Max said. "You have your own ice cream!" + +"But I want some of yours!" Lily said. "Your ice cream looks better!" + +Mom heard them arguing and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the spoon and the ice cream. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. "You don't need to be jealous of each other. You can share your ice cream if you want, or you can enjoy what you have. There is enough ice cream for both of you." + +Lily and Max looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and decided to share their ice cream. They took turns using the spoon and tasted both vanilla and chocolate ice cream. They smiled and hugged each other. + +Mom was happy to see them getting along. She gave them each a kiss and said, "I love you both. You are both special and sweet, just like your ice cream." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they discover a big hole under the fence. They wonder what is on the other side. + +"Let's go and see," Ben says. He crawls through the hole. Mia follows him. + +They find themselves in a new place. There are many trees and flowers. They hear a loud noise. It sounds like a roar. + +"What is that?" Mia asks. She is scared. + +Ben points to a big animal. It has a long tail, sharp teeth and a mane. It is a lion. + +The lion sees them. It is angry. It runs towards them. + +"Run!" Ben shouts. He and Mia turn around and run back to the hole. + +They reach the fence. But the hole is too small. The lion is behind them. It opens its mouth. + +Ben and Mia scream. They think they are in terrible trouble. + +But then they hear another voice. It is their dad. + +"Ben! Mia! What are you doing here?" he asks. He is holding a camera. He is a photographer. He works at the zoo. + +He sees the lion. He is not scared. He knows the lion. It is his friend. + +"Sorry, kids. This is Leo. He is a nice lion. He was just playing with you. He likes to roar. He has a big ear. Do you want to touch it?" he says. + +Ben and Mia stop screaming. They are surprised. They look at the lion. He looks friendly. He licks his paw. + +They are curious. They want to touch his ear. + +They go closer to the lion. They pet his ear. It is soft and warm. + +The lion purrs. He likes them. + +Ben and Mia smile. They are happy. + +They discover a new friend. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Sara asks her mom. + +"Sure, but be careful. The slide is very high and fast," her mom says. + +Sara and Ben run to the slide. They wait for their turn. Sara goes first. She sits on the slide and holds the sides. She feels the wind in her hair. She says, "Whee!" + +Ben goes next. He lies on his tummy and puts his arms out. He pretends he is a boat. He says, "I sail on the water!" + +Sara and Ben laugh. They have fun on the slide. They go up and down many times. They think the slide is lovely. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But they also made a big mess. There were toys everywhere, and some of them were on the sofa and the table. + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Ben and Mia, you need to clean up your toys. Look, you put your toys on the iron. The iron is hot and can burn you. And you put your toys on the sofa. The sofa is dry and can get dirty. You need to be careful and respectful of the things in the house." + +Ben and Mia did not want to clean up. They said, "But Mom, we are tired. We want to play more. Cleaning is boring." They pouted and whined. + +Mom said, "I know you are tired, but you also need to be responsible. Cleaning is not boring, it is important. If you clean up your toys, you will have more space to play. And you will make me happy, because I work hard to keep the house nice. How about this: if you clean up your toys, I will read you a story before bed. Do you like that?" + +Ben and Mia thought about it. They liked stories. They also wanted to make Mom happy. They said, "OK, Mom, we will clean up our toys. We are sorry for making a mess. We will be more careful next time." They got up and started to put their toys away. + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben and Mia. You are good children. I am proud of you. Now, let's finish cleaning and then we can read a story together." She helped them with the iron and the sofa, and then they all went to the bedroom. They cuddled on the bed and read a story. They felt happy and loved. +Lila and Ben were playing with balloons in the park. They liked to blow them up and let them go. The balloons would fly up in the sky and make funny noises. + +"Look, Lila, I have an orange balloon!" Ben said. "It is very big and round. Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, Ben, show me your orange balloon!" Lila said. She ran over to Ben and took his balloon. She felt the weight of the air inside. She smiled and said, "It is heavy and soft. Can I release it?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Lila, you can release it. But be careful, it might fly away very fast." + +Lila held the balloon with both hands and counted to three. Then she let go of the balloon and watched it soar into the air. She clapped and laughed as the balloon made a loud whoosh sound. + +"Wow, Lila, that was fun!" Ben said. "Your orange balloon went very high. Can you see it?" + +Lila looked up and tried to find the balloon. But it was too far and too small. She could not see it anymore. She felt sad and said, "No, Ben, I can't see it. It is gone. I miss it." + +Ben saw that Lila was sad and hugged her. He said, "Don't be sad, Lila. We can get another balloon. Or we can play with something else. Do you want to play with my truck?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, Ben, I want to play with your truck. Thank you for being my friend." + +Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lila. You are my friend too. Come on, let's go play with my truck." + +They ran to the sandbox and played with the truck. They forgot about the orange balloon and had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses. Lily wanted to make a zigzag tower. She put one block on top of another, then moved it a little to the side. She did this again and again, until her tower was very tall and had many zigzags. + +"Look, Ben, I made a zigzag tower!" Lily said. She was proud of her work. + +Ben looked at Lily's tower. He thought it was too wobbly and might fall down. He wanted to make a straight tower. He put one block on top of another, then moved it a little to the front. He did this again and again, until his tower was very tall and had no zigzags. + +"Look, Lily, I made a straight tower!" Ben said. He was proud of his work. + +Lily looked at Ben's tower. She thought it was too boring and had no fun. She wanted to make Ben's tower more zigzaggy. She reached for one of his blocks and tried to move it to the side. + +"Hey, don't touch my tower!" Ben said. He was angry and scared. He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled it away. + +"But I want to make it more zigzaggy!" Lily said. She was sad and confused. She did not understand why Ben did not like her idea. + +Ben and Lily stared at each other. They did not know what to say. They did not want to fight, but they did not want to share. They both shrugged. They did not know how to solve their problem. + +Then they heard a loud crash. They turned around and saw that their towers had fallen down. The blocks were scattered all over the floor. They had been too careful and too careless. They had not noticed that their towers were too close to each other and had bumped into each other. + +Ben and Lily looked at the mess. They felt sorry and silly. They realized that their towers were not important. They were just blocks. What was important was their friendship. + +They smiled at each other. They said they were sorry. They hugged. They decided to make a new tower together. A tower that had both zigzags and straight lines. A tower that was fun and strong. A tower that was theirs. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red, white and blue. It has stars and stripes. + +"Look, Mia, a flag!" Sam says. + +"What is a flag, Sam?" Mia asks. + +"A flag is a cloth that shows who you are. This flag is for our country. It is called America," Sam explains. + +"Who made the flag, Sam?" Mia wonders. + +"Many people made the flag, Mia. They worked hard and used their hands and needles. They wanted to show they are proud of their country," Sam says. + +"Wow, that is cool, Sam. I want to be proud of my country too. Can we make our own flag?" Mia asks. + +"Sure, Mia. We can use paper and crayons. We can draw what we like and what makes us happy. Then we can stick our flag on a stick and wave it in the air," Sam says. + +They run to the bench and find some paper and crayons. They draw flowers and hearts and suns and stars. They use many colors and make their flag bright and beautiful. They find a stick and tape their flag to it. They hold their flag high and run around the park. + +"Look at our flag, Sam. It is so pretty. It shows who we are. We are friends and we are happy," Mia says. + +"Yes, Mia. Our flag is wonderful. It shows who we are. We are kind and we are fun," Sam says. + +They smile and hug each other. They are proud of their flag and of themselves. They grow as friends and as people. They love their flag and their country. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things in her head. Sometimes she dreamed of flying with birds, or swimming with fish, or playing with fairies. She always woke up happy and told her mom and dad what she dreamed. + +One night, she dreamed of a mysterious place. It was very dark and quiet, and she could not see anything. She felt scared and lonely. She wanted to go back to her home and her bed. She called out, "Mom! Dad! Where are you?" + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. It was soft and gentle, like a whisper. It said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. I am here with you. I am your friend." + +Lily asked, "Who are you? Where are you?" + +The voice said, "I am the sunrise. I am the light that comes after the night. I am the warmth that makes you feel cozy. I am the color that makes you smile. I am here to show you something beautiful." + +Lily felt curious and hopeful. She said, "What do you want to show me?" + +The voice said, "Just wait and see. Soon, you will see me. Soon, you will see the world." + +Lily waited and waited. She felt the air getting warmer and brighter. She saw a faint glow in the sky. She saw the stars fading away. She saw the clouds turning pink and orange. She saw the sun rising over the horizon. She saw the world waking up. + +She gasped and said, "Wow! You are amazing! You are the sunrise!" + +The voice said, "Yes, I am. And you are amazing too, Lily. You are a dreamer. You have a big imagination. You can see things that others can't. You can make things that others don't. You can be anything you want to be." + +Lily felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you, sunrise. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for showing me your beauty. Can I see you again?" + +The voice said, "Of course, Lily. I will always be here for you. Every morning, I will greet you with a smile. Every night, I will say goodbye with a kiss. And every time you dream, I will be with you in your heart." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you, sunrise. You are my favorite dream." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing on the farm. They liked to run and jump and see the animals. They saw a big pile of hay near the barn. They wanted to play in the hay. + +They ran to the hay and climbed on top. They made a fort with the hay. They pretended to be kings and queens. They had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was the farmer. He was angry. He saw what they did to the hay. He needed the hay to feed the cows. He shouted at them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They tried to run away. But they were too slow. The farmer caught them. He was very mad. He tore their fort apart. He threw the hay everywhere. He broke their toys. He told them to go away and never come back. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They cried. They said they were sorry. They did not mean to make the farmer mad. They just wanted to play. They picked up their broken toys and walked away. They hoped the farmer would forgive them. They learned not to play with the hay. +Ben was a bunny who liked to hop. He hopped all day in the meadow, looking for carrots and flowers. He was happy and friendly to everyone. + +One day, he saw a pair of sunglasses on the ground. They were shiny and colorful. Ben thought they looked fun. He put them on his nose and hopped around. He felt very cool and smart. + +He saw his friend Lily, a lamb, grazing nearby. He hopped over to her and said, "Hi, Lily. Do you like my sunglasses? I found them in the meadow. They make me see better and look better." + +Lily looked at him and smiled. She said, "Hi, Ben. Your sunglasses are nice, but they are not yours. They belong to someone else. You should give them back. It is not good to take things that are not yours." + +Ben felt ashamed. He realized that Lily was right. He said, "You are right, Lily. I am sorry. I will give them back. I don't need sunglasses to be happy and friendly. I just need to be myself." + +He took off the sunglasses and hopped back to where he found them. He left them there, hoping that the owner would find them. He hopped back to Lily and thanked her for being a good friend. He learned that being honest and kind is more important than being cool and smart. + +The moral of the story is: Don't take things that are not yours. Be honest and kind. +Ben and Mia were twins. They liked to play and laugh together. Today was their birthday. They were very happy. Mom and Dad made a big cake and many balloons. They invited their friends to celebrate. + +"Look at the cake, Mia! It has our names and candles!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben! It looks yummy! Can we blow the candles now?" Mia asked. + +"Not yet, Mia. We have to eat dinner first. Mom made broccoli for us. It is good and useful for our body." Ben said. + +Mia did not like broccoli. She made a face. She did not want to eat it. She wanted to eat the cake. She had a bad idea. She took her fork and threw the broccoli at Ben. + +"Hey, Mia! Why did you do that?" Ben shouted. + +He was angry and sad. He threw the broccoli back at Mia. Mia screamed. The broccoli hit the cake. The cake fell on the floor. The candles went out. The balloons popped. The friends cried. + +Mom and Dad came to the kitchen. They saw the mess. They were very angry and sad too. They said: + +"Ben and Mia, you are very naughty! You ruined your birthday! You have to clean up and go to bed. No cake, no balloons, no presents for you!" + +Ben and Mia felt very sorry. They wished they did not throw the broccoli. They wished they ate the broccoli. They wished they had a good birthday. But it was too late. They had a bad birthday. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and books. They go to the same school. They learn new words and spells. Spells are fun. They make things happen. + +One day, Tim and Jen are in the park. They see a big pond. There are ducks and fish in the pond. Tim and Jen want to feed them. They have some bread. + +"Let's use a spell to make the bread fly to the ducks and fish," Tim says. + +"OK, that sounds cool," Jen says. "Do you know a spell?" + +"Yes, I do. I learned it from a book. It is easy. You just say 'Bread, bread, fly away. Go to the ducks and fish today.' But you have to say it three times and wave your hand." + +Tim and Jen take some bread and hold it in their hands. They say the spell together. They wave their hands. + +"Bread, bread, fly away. Go to the ducks and fish today. Bread, bread, fly away. Go to the ducks and fish today. Bread, bread, fly away. Go to the ducks and fish today." + +But something goes wrong. The bread does not fly to the ducks and fish. It flies to the sky. It flies very high. It flies away. + +Tim and Jen are sad. They miss their bread. They are hungry. They want to eat their bread. + +"Where did our bread go?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we said the spell wrong. Maybe we waved our hands wrong. Maybe the spell was bad," Jen says. + +They look at the sky. They see a big bird. It is a hawk. It sees the bread. It is hungry. It wants to eat the bread. + +The hawk flies to the bread. It catches the bread in its claws. It eats the bread. + +Tim and Jen are scared. They see the hawk. It sees them. It is angry. It wants more bread. + +The hawk flies to them. It swoops down. It grabs Tim and Jen in its claws. It flies away. + +Tim and Jen scream. They want to go back to the park. They want to go back to their toys and books. They want to go back to their school. They want to go back to their home. + +But they can't. The hawk takes them to its nest. It feeds them to its chicks. + +Tim and Jen are gone. They are no more. The spell was bad. The end was bad. The hawk was bad. The day was bad. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the big maze in the park. They pretended they were spies and had to find the way out. They had toy guns that could shoot water. They had fun shooting at each other and hiding behind the bushes. + +One day, they saw a new sign at the entrance of the maze. It said: "Do not shoot. Maze is not regular. Danger." Sara and Ben did not know what that meant. They thought it was a joke. They went inside the maze anyway. + +They ran and laughed and shot water at each other. They did not see the wires and cameras that were hidden in the maze. They did not hear the voice that said: "Test subject 1 and 2, please proceed to the exit. You have completed the first level." + +They reached the end of the maze and saw a door. They opened it and saw a bright light. They walked into the light and heard a loud noise. They felt a shock and fell to the ground. + +The voice said: "Test subject 1 and 2, please remain still. You have failed the second level. You will be returned to the entrance. Thank you for your cooperation." +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big pot and some flour, sugar, eggs and milk. They put everything in the pot and started to stir. + +"Stir, stir, stir!" Sara said. "We need to make the cake smooth and yummy!" + +"Stir, stir, stir!" Tom said. "We need to make the cake big and fluffy!" + +They stirred and stirred until the pot was full of batter. They looked for a pan to bake the cake, but they could not find one. They saw the oven and had an idea. + +"Let's put the pot in the oven!" Sara said. "Maybe it will turn into a cake!" + +"Let's do it!" Tom said. "But we need to be careful. The oven is hot!" + +They opened the oven and put the pot inside. They closed the oven and waited. They smelled something funny. They saw smoke coming out of the oven. They heard a loud noise. + +"Bang!" The oven door opened and the pot flew out. The batter was burned and black. It splashed all over the kitchen. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Tom said. "We made a mess!" + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She scolded Sara and Tom. + +"What did you do?" Mom said. "You can't put a pot in the oven! You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourselves!" + +"We're sorry, Mom!" Sara and Tom said. "We wanted to make a cake for you!" + +Mom sighed. She hugged Sara and Tom. + +"I love you, but you need to be more careful," Mom said. "Next time, ask me before you use the oven. And don't play with pots and pans. They are not toys." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They helped Mom clean the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They decided to make a card for Mom instead of a cake. They used crayons and paper. They wrote "We love you, Mom!" and drew a heart. Mom smiled when she saw the card. She kissed Sara and Tom. + +"Thank you, my sweeties," Mom said. "This is the best gift ever!" +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. Sara has a cute doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben has a cute car with big wheels and a loud horn. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. Sara wants to go on the slide. Ben wants to go on the swing. They say to each other: + +"Let's go on the slide!" + +"No, let's go on the swing!" + +They start to argue. They do not want to share. They do not want to play together. They get angry and sad. + +Their moms see them and say: + +"Stop fighting! You are friends. You should be nice to each other. Why don't you try both the slide and the swing? You can take turns and have fun." + +Sara and Ben listen to their moms. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They go on the slide and the swing. They laugh and enjoy. They are happy again. + +They say to each other: + +"I love you, friend!" + +"I love you, too, friend!" + +They play until the sun goes down. They say goodbye and go home with their moms. They end their day with a kiss and a hug. They are cute friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to read books, play games, and ask questions. She wanted to be smart and wise. One day, she found a big book in her room. It had many words and pictures. She wanted to read it, but it was too hard for her. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this book?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "This is a book of wisdom, Lily. It has stories and lessons from people who lived a long time ago. They learned many things from their experiences and shared them with others." + +Lily was curious and said, "Can you read it to me, mom?" + +Her mom said, "I can read some of it to you, but not all of it. Some of it is too complicated for you to understand right now. You need to grow up and learn more before you can read it by yourself." + +Lily was sad and said, "But I want to be wise now, mom. How can I be wise?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Wisdom is not something you can get from a book, Lily. Wisdom is something you can get from living, from listening, from thinking, and from loving. You can be wise by being kind, by being honest, by being brave, and by being humble. You can be wise by asking for help when you need it, by saying sorry when you make a mistake, by saying thank you when you receive a gift, and by saying I love you when you feel it. You can be wise by learning from your mom, your dad, your friends, your teachers, and yourself. You can be wise by being yourself, Lily." + +Lily thought about what her mom said.
