Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please!" They went to the living room and found the pieces of the train. They worked together and glued them back. They thanked their mom and played with the train. They took turns and shared. They were happy and kind. They learned their lesson. They made a wish that they would always be good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs. Lily found a big spider under a rock. She was scared and screamed. + +"Look, Ben, a spider! It is big and hairy and has many legs!" she said. + +Ben ran to see the spider. He was not scared. He wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. He had a stick and tried to poke the spider. + +"Stop, Ben, don't touch it! It might bite you!" Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He was busy and curious. He poked the spider harder and harder. The spider was angry and scared. It did not like to be poked. It jumped out of the rock and landed on Ben's hand. It bit him with its fangs. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "It bit me, it bit me!" + +Lily saw blood on Ben's hand. She was sorry and scared. She ran to get their mom. She hoped Ben would be okay. + +But Ben was not okay. The spider was poisonous. It made Ben very sick. He had to go to the hospital. He had a fever and a rash and a lot of pain. He could not play for a long time. He wished he had not poked the spider. He wished he had listened to Lily. He learned a hard lesson. +Anna is a young girl who likes to see new things. She has a network of friends who live in different places. Sometimes, she talks to them on a screen. She can see their faces and hear their voices. + +One day, Anna sees a big truck outside her house. The truck has a lot of wires and boxes. Anna is curious. She asks her mom, "What is that?" + +Her mom says, "That is a network truck. They are fixing the wires that help us talk to our friends on the screen. Sometimes, the wires get broken or old, and they need to be replaced." + +Anna says, "Oh, I see. Can I watch them work?" + +Her mom says, "Sure, but you have to stay away from the truck and the wires. They can be dangerous. You can watch from the window." + +Anna nods and runs to the window. She sees the network workers climb up a pole and connect the wires. She sees them use tools and helmets. She thinks they are very brave and smart. She waves to them and smiles. They wave back and smile too. + +Anna is happy. She likes her network of friends and the network workers. She hopes they can fix the wires soon, so she can talk to her friends on the screen again. She thinks the network is a wonderful thing. +Anna and Ben were playing with crayons. They liked to draw animals and houses and flowers on paper. Anna had a red crayon and Ben had a blue one. They shared the other colors. + +"Look, I drew a big fish!" Ben said, showing his paper to Anna. + +"Wow, that's a nice fish!" Anna said. "I drew a sun and a tree and a bird." + +They smiled at each other and kept drawing. + +But then, Anna noticed that her red crayon was gone. She looked around, but she could not find it. + +"Ben, have you seen my red crayon?" she asked. + +"No, I have not," Ben said. "Maybe it fell on the floor." + +They looked under the table and behind the sofa, but they could not find the red crayon. + +"Where did it go?" Anna wondered. "Did it disappear?" + +She felt sad. She liked her red crayon. It was her favorite color. + +Suddenly, they heard a noise from the kitchen. It sounded like someone was chewing. + +They ran to the kitchen and saw their dog, Spot, on the floor. He had something in his mouth. It was the red crayon! + +"Spot, no!" Anna shouted. "That's my crayon!" + +She tried to take it from him, but he growled and ran away. + +"Bad dog!" Ben said. "He was hungry and he ate your crayon!" + +Anna felt angry and sad. She wanted her crayon back. + +"Maybe we can get another crayon," Ben said. "Mom has more in the drawer." + +He went to the drawer and opened it. He found a new red crayon and gave it to Anna. + +"Here, this is for you," he said. "I'm sorry Spot ate your crayon." + +Anna smiled and hugged him. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are a good brother." + +They went back to their paper and drew some more. Anna used her new red crayon and Ben used his blue one. They were happy again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. But they did not like to share. Ben wanted all the blue blocks and Lily wanted all the red blocks. They grabbed and pulled and shouted at each other. + +"Give me that block!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +They were not happy. They were not gentle. They were not friends. + +Then, Mom came in. She saw the mess and the tears and the angry faces. She was not happy either. She said, "Ben and Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? You have to share and be gentle. You have to say please and thank you. You have to be friends." + +She took some blocks from Ben and some blocks from Lily. She gave them to each other. She said, "Ben, please give Lily a blue block. Lily, please give Ben a red block. Say thank you and sorry. Then, you can play together and have fun." + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "Please. Thank you. Sorry." They gave each other a block. They smiled. They hugged. They were gentle. They were friends. + +They started to build again. They used blue and red blocks. They made a big castle with a bridge and a flag. They were happy. They had a victory. They said, "Look, Mom, we did it! We made a castle!" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Well done, Ben and Lily! You are very clever and kind. I'm proud of you. You have a victory. You are gentle. You are friends." +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the garden. Lily has a new tool. It is a shovel. She can dig holes with it. Max does not have a shovel. He has a rake. He can make piles of leaves with it. + +"Look at my shovel!" Lily says. "It is shiny and big. I can dig deep holes with it. Do you want to see?" + +Max nods. He wants to see Lily's shovel. He is a little jealous. He thinks Lily's tool is better than his. He follows Lily to the corner of the garden. Lily digs a hole with her shovel. She smiles. + +"Wow, that is a big hole!" Max says. "Can I try your shovel?" + +Lily shakes her head. "No, this is my shovel. You have your rake. You can use your rake." + +Max feels sad. He does not want to use his rake. He wants to use Lily's shovel. He thinks Lily is not nice. He walks away from Lily. He looks for another place to play. + +He sees a pile of rocks. He thinks they are fun. He picks up a rock. He throws it in the air. He catches it. He laughs. + +"Look at my rock!" Max says. "It is smooth and round. I can throw it high in the air. Do you want to see?" + +Lily hears Max. She looks at his rock. She is curious. She thinks Max's rock is cool. She wants to try it. She follows Max to the pile of rocks. Max throws his rock in the air. He catches it. He smiles. + +"Wow, that is a high throw!" Lily says. "Can I try your rock?" + +Max nods. "Yes, you can try my rock. You can also try my rake. I can try your shovel. We can share our tools." + +Lily feels happy. She thinks Max is nice. She gives him her shovel. She takes his rock. She throws it in the air. She catches it. She laughs. + +They play with their tools. They share them. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily liked to cut paper with her scissors. She made shapes and animals and flowers. She cut a big star and a small moon. She wanted to put them on her wall. + +"Can I have some tape, Mommy?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful with the scissors. They are dangerous. They can hurt you or the furniture," Mommy said. + +"I know, Mommy. I am careful," Lily said. She took the tape and stuck the star and the moon on her wall. She smiled. They looked pretty. + +That night, Lily had a dream. She was in the sky with the star and the moon. They were her friends. They talked and played and sang. The star was bright and warm. The moon was soft and cool. + +But then, a big cloud came. It was dark and angry. It wanted to cut the star and the moon with its sharp teeth. It chased them and roared. + +"Help, Lily! Help!" the star and the moon cried. + +Lily was scared. She wanted to help her friends. But the cloud was too big and dangerous. She did not have her scissors. She did not know what to do. + +She woke up. She saw her wall. She saw the star and the moon. They were still there. They were not cut. They were safe. + +She sighed. It was only a dream. She hugged her pillow. She whispered, "I love you, star and moon. You are my friends. Don't be afraid. I will protect you." +Anna liked to play in her room. She had many toys and books, but her favorite thing was the big wardrobe. She liked to open the doors and look at the clothes inside. Sometimes she pretended to be a princess or a pirate or a fairy. + +One day, she opened the wardrobe and saw something new. It was a big, furry, brown thing with a long tail and a big nose. It looked at her with big, yellow eyes and said, "Hello, little girl. Who are you?" + +Anna was scared at first, but then she saw that the thing was smiling. She said, "Hello, big thing. I am Anna. What are you?" + +The thing said, "I am a lion. I come from a land called Narnia. It is a very special and unique land, where animals can talk and there is magic and adventure. Do you want to see it?" + +Anna was curious and excited. She said, "Yes, I do. How can I go there?" + +The lion said, "Just follow me. The wardrobe is a magic door that can take us there. But be careful, not everyone in Narnia is friendly. There is a wicked witch who wants to make it always winter and never Christmas. We have to be brave and clever to stop her." + +Anna nodded and took the lion's paw. Together, they walked into the wardrobe and disappeared into the dark. They were ready to meet Narnia and have a wonderful adventure. +Ben was a boy who liked to play in the woods. He had a ball, a stick and a hat. He was happy to run and jump and sing. + +One day, he saw a fox in the woods. The fox was orange and had a long tail. Ben wanted to be friends with the fox. He said, "Hello, fox. Do you want to play with me?" + +The fox looked at Ben and smiled. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You have a nice ball. Can I have it?" + +Ben liked his ball, but he wanted to be nice. He said, "OK, you can have my ball. Here you go." He gave his ball to the fox. + +The fox took the ball and ran away. He said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. But I don't want to play with you. I just want your ball. Bye-bye." He laughed and disappeared. + +Ben was sad and angry. He had no ball and no friend. He said, "That was not fair. The fox was mean and greedy. He lied to me. He did not want to play with me. He only wanted my ball." + +He learned a lesson that day. He learned that not everyone is nice and honest. He learned that some people will take advantage of you if you are too generous. He learned that he should be careful who he offers his things to. He learned that he should not trust a fox. +Tom and Lily were in the classroom. They liked to play with the toys and the books. But they did not like to listen to the teacher. The teacher was busy with the other children. She did not see Tom and Lily. + +Tom saw the blackboard. He had a chalk in his hand. He wanted to draw on the blackboard. He said to Lily, "Look, I can draw a big monster on the blackboard. It is scary and funny." + +Lily said, "No, Tom, you cannot do that. The teacher will be angry. She will say you are bad. You will get in trouble." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He drew a big monster on the blackboard. He made it have big teeth and eyes and claws. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, look at my monster. It can destroy everything. It can destroy the toys and the books and the chairs and the tables." + +Lily was scared. She said, "Tom, stop it. You are making a mess. The teacher will see. She will be sad. She will say you are naughty. You will get no snack." + +But Tom did not stop. He drew more monsters on the blackboard. He made them have horns and tails and wings. He said, "Ha ha, look at my monsters. They can destroy more things. They can destroy the door and the window and the clock and the lamp." + +Lily was very scared. She said, "Tom, please stop. You are making a big mess. The teacher will come. She will be very angry. She will say you are very naughty. You will get no playtime." + +But Tom did not care. He drew the biggest monster on the blackboard. He made it have fire and smoke and spikes. He said, "Ha ha, look at my biggest monster. It can destroy everything. It can destroy the blackboard and the wall and the floor and the ceiling." + +Lily was very very scared. She said, "Tom, you are crazy. You are making a huge mess. The teacher is coming. She will be very very angry. She will say you are very very naughty. You will get no fun." + +But it was too late. The teacher came into the classroom. She saw the blackboard. She saw the monsters. She saw the chalk. She saw Tom and Lily. She was very very very angry. She said, "Tom and Lily, what have you done? You have destroyed the blackboard. You have made a terrible mess. You have been very very very naughty. You will get no snack, no playtime, no fun. You will have to clean the blackboard and say sorry." + +Tom and Lily were very very very sorry. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had not been so nosy. They wished they had not drawn the monsters. They wished they had not destroyed the blackboard. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a fence. They want to see inside. + +"Let's go and look," Ben says. "Maybe they have toys and candy." + +"No, Ben, we can't," Lily says. "That is not our house. It is wrong to go in." + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs over the fence and runs to the door. He opens it and goes in. Lily follows him. She is scared. + +Inside, the house is very nice. There are many rooms and things. Ben sees a shower. He has never seen a shower before. He turns it on and laughs. Water comes out and makes him wet. + +"Ben, stop it!" Lily says. "We have to go. Someone will come and be angry." + +But Ben does not stop. He likes the shower. He spends a long time in the shower. He does not hear the car in the driveway. He does not hear the footsteps in the hall. He does not hear the voice that says, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" + +Lily hears. She is very afraid. She runs to the door. But it is too late. The man who lives in the house sees her. He is very rich. He is also very mad. He grabs her and shouts. He calls the police. He says they are thieves. + +Lily and Ben are in trouble. They cry and say they are sorry. But the man does not care. He says they have to pay for the water and the damage. He says they have to go to jail. + +Lily and Ben wish they had never gone to the house. They wish they had stayed in the park. They wish they had listened to Lily. They are very sad. The end. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Anna found a shiny stone and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a pretty stone!" Anna said. + +Ben looked at the stone and frowned. He wanted the stone for himself. He grabbed it from Anna's hand and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back! That's not fair!" Anna shouted. She chased after Ben, but he was too fast. + +Ben ran into the house and hid in his mom's room. He saw a bottle of perfume on the dresser. He thought it smelled nice. He sprayed some on the stone and on himself. + +Anna followed Ben into the house. She smelled the perfume and knew where he was. She opened the door to his mom's room and saw him holding the stone. + +"Ben, that's mom's perfume! You can't use that!" Anna said. + +Ben smiled and said, "Too bad. I have the stone and the perfume. You have nothing." + +Anna was angry and sad. She wanted her stone back. She also wanted to smell nice. She saw an enormous pillow on the bed. She had an idea. She grabbed the pillow and threw it at Ben. + +The pillow hit Ben and made him drop the stone and the perfume. The perfume bottle broke and spilled on the floor. The stone rolled under the bed. + +"Ow! That hurt!" Ben said. He rubbed his head and looked at the mess. + +Anna ran to the bed and reached for the stone. She found it and held it tight. She said, "Ha! I have the stone now. And you have a big problem. Mom will be mad when she sees this." + +Ben realized he was in trouble. He wished he had not taken the stone and the perfume. He wished he had shared with Anna. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was mean. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna looked at Ben and saw he was sorry. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But we have to clean this up before mom comes." + +They worked together to clean the mess. They used towels and soap and water. They threw away the broken bottle. They put the pillow back on the bed. They hoped mom would not notice. + +They went back to the garden and played with the stone. They took turns holding it and looking at it. They also looked for more bugs. They were happy and friendly. They did not frown anymore. +Jill and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of ash near a bench. It was gray and soft and smelled bad. + +"Look, ash!" Jill said. "Let's scatter it and make a cloud!" + +Tom nodded. He thought it would be fun. They ran to the pile and kicked it with their feet. The ash flew in the air and made a big cloud. They laughed and coughed. + +"Stop! Stop!" a voice shouted. It was a man. He was angry and sad. He ran to the pile and the cloud. He had a small box in his hand. + +"What are you doing?" he yelled. "That's my dog! That's Sparky! He was sick and died and I wanted to scatter his ash in the park. He loved the park. He was a good dog. And you ruined it!" + +Jill and Tom were scared and sorry. They did not know it was a dog. They thought it was just ash. They wanted to say sorry, but they could not. They felt bad. + +The man cried and hugged the box. He looked at the ash on the ground and in the air. He was very sad. He could not scatter his dog in the park. He could not say goodbye. + +Jill and Tom ran away. They did not play in the park anymore. They learned a hard lesson. They learned to be careful and respectful. They learned that some ash is not just ash. +Anna was sad. She wanted to go to the party, but Mom said no. Mom said it was too icy outside, and they could slip and fall. Anna did not like that. She wanted to play with her friends, and eat cake, and wear a pretty dress. + +She frowns and says, "But Mom, I want to go! Please, please, please!" + +Mom shakes her head and says, "I'm sorry, Anna, but it's not safe. Maybe we can have our own party here, with hot chocolate and cookies. Would you like that?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes hot chocolate and cookies, but she likes the party more. She frowns again and says, "No, I want the real party. It's not fair!" + +Mom hugs her and says, "I know, honey, it's hard to miss out on fun things. But sometimes we have to do what's best for us, even if we don't like it. How about we call your friends and say hello, and then we can watch a movie together?" + +Anna sighs. She knows Mom is right, but she still feels sad. She nods and says, "Okay, Mom. Can we watch Frozen?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Anna. Let's watch Frozen. Maybe that will make you feel better." + +They go to the living room and turn on the TV. Anna snuggles with Mom on the couch, and holds her favorite doll. She still wishes she could go to the party, but she also feels warm and cozy with Mom. She thinks maybe the icy day is not so bad after all. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy boat. They have a big tub of water in the garden, and they pretend it is the sea. They take turns to be the captain and the sailor. + +One day, Anna has an idea. She wants to make a new sail for the boat. She finds a piece of cloth and some scissors. She asks Ben to help her measure the cloth. + +"Ben, can you hold this end of the cloth?" she says. + +"OK, Anna," Ben says. He is shy, but he likes to help his sister. + +Anna holds the other end of the cloth and stretches it out. She looks at the boat and tries to guess how big the sail should be. + +"I think this is enough," she says. She cuts the cloth with the scissors. + +"Be careful, Anna," Ben says. He is afraid of the scissors. + +Anna is careful. She makes a hole in the cloth and ties it to the mast of the boat. She shows Ben the new sail. + +"Look, Ben, we made a new sail!" she says. + +"Wow, Anna, it is very pretty!" Ben says. He smiles. + +They put the boat in the water and watch it sail. They are happy. They clap their hands and cheer. They have fun with their toy boat and their new sail. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big box near their house. They wondered what was inside. They saw a sticker on the box that said "mail". They knew that mail was something that people sent to each other. + +"Maybe it's a present for us!" Lily said. + +"Let's open it and see!" Ben said. + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They needed something to cut the tape. They looked around and saw a branch on the ground. It was wide and sharp. + +"Let's use this branch!" Ben said. + +He picked up the branch and swung it at the box. But he swung it too hard and missed the box. He hit Lily on the head instead. Lily cried out in pain and fell down. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily said. + +Ben dropped the branch and ran to Lily. He was scared and sorry. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily! I didn't mean to hurt you!" + +Lily was hurt, but she was not angry. She hugged Ben back and said, "It's okay, Ben. I know you didn't mean it. But you have to be careful with sharp things. They can hurt you or someone else." + +Ben nodded and said, "You're right, Lily. I have to be careful. I'm sorry." + +They helped each other up and walked back to their house. They left the box alone. They decided that mail was not for them. They learned that playing with sharp things was dangerous and that they should always be careful and kind to each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben had a small car with four wheels and a horn. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other had. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asked Lily. + +"No, she is mine. You can play with your car," Lily said. + +"Can I play with your car?" Lily asked Ben. + +"No, it is mine. You can play with your doll," Ben said. + +They were not happy. They both wanted to play with something new. They looked at each other and had an idea. They decided to trade their toys for a little while. + +"OK, you can play with my doll, but be careful. She is very pretty and soft," Lily said. + +"OK, you can play with my car, but be careful. It is very fast and loud," Ben said. + +They gave each other their toys and started to play. Lily zoomed the car around the floor and made noises with her mouth. Ben brushed the doll's hair and put a hat on her head. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other did. + +Lily looked at Ben and saw him tear the doll's dress. She was angry. She ran to him and grabbed the doll. + +"Hey, what are you doing? You tore her dress! She is not smelly, she is pretty!" Lily shouted. + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her tip the car over. He was angry. He ran to her and grabbed the car. + +"Hey, what are you doing? You tipped my car! It is not slow, it is fast!" Ben shouted. + +They pulled and pushed each other, trying to get their toys back. They were not happy. They were sad and mad. They started to cry. + +Mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them crying and their toys broken. She was not happy. She was disappointed and upset. + +"What happened here? Why are you crying? Why are your toys broken?" Mom asked. + +They looked at Mom and felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. They wanted to say sorry, but they did not know how. + +Mom sighed and hugged them. She was not happy, but she loved them. She wanted to teach them a lesson. + +"Listen, Lily and Ben. You have to be nice to each other and to your toys. You have to share and take turns. You have to be careful and gentle. You have to say sorry when you do something wrong. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +They nodded and said sorry. They said sorry to each other and to their toys. They hugged and kissed Mom. They were not happy, but they learned something. They wanted to be better. They wanted to play again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They enjoyed seeing all the different animals, but their favorite was the elephant. The elephant was big and gray and had a long nose that could pick up things. The elephant also had hairy ears and a hairy tail that it could swing. + +One day, when they were at the zoo, Tom and Lily saw a new elephant. It was smaller than the other one and had a pink bow on its head. It was a baby elephant. Tom and Lily wanted to pet it, but their mom said they had to stay behind the fence. + +"Please, mom, can we touch the baby elephant?" Tom asked. "It looks so soft and cute." + +"No, Tom, you can't," mom said. "The baby elephant is not used to people. It might get scared or hurt you. You have to respect the animals and their space." + +"But mom, we love the elephant," Lily said. "We just want to be friends with it." + +Mom shook her head. "I know you love the elephant, Lily, but you have to show your love in a different way. You can wave to it, or talk to it, or give it a carrot, but you can't touch it. That's the rule of the zoo." + +Tom and Lily were sad, but they understood. They waved to the baby elephant and said hello. They also gave it a carrot that they bought from the zoo shop. The baby elephant smiled and ate the carrot. It also waved its nose and tail at them. Tom and Lily felt happy. They learned that they could enjoy the elephant without touching it, and that they had to follow the rules to keep the animals safe and happy. +Tim and Amy are friends. They like to draw and color. They have many crayons and papers. They share their drawings with each other. + +One day, Tim finds a big eraser in his backpack. He does not know where it came from. He thinks it is cool. He shows it to Amy. + +"Look, Amy, I have a big eraser. It can erase anything. Do you want to try it?" Tim says. + +Amy nods. She takes the eraser from Tim. She looks at it. It is white and soft. She likes it. + +"Can I erase your drawing, Tim?" Amy asks. + +Tim nods. He does not mind. He thinks Amy will make a new drawing for him. He gives her his paper. It has a picture of a house and a tree. + +Amy rubs the eraser on the paper. The house and the tree disappear. The paper is blank. Amy smiles. She thinks it is fun. + +"Can I erase your drawing, Amy?" Tim asks. + +Amy shakes her head. She does not want to. She likes her drawing. It has a picture of a flower and a butterfly. + +"No, Tim, you can't erase my drawing. It is mine. I worked hard on it. It is pretty. You can't have it." Amy says. + +Tim feels sad. He wants to erase Amy's drawing. He thinks it is not fair. He thinks Amy is mean. He grabs the eraser from Amy. He rubs it on Amy's paper. The flower and the butterfly disappear. The paper is blank. Tim smiles. He thinks it is fun. + +Amy feels angry. She sees her drawing is gone. She cries. She thinks Tim is mean. She hits Tim with her fist. She takes the eraser from Tim. She throws it away. She runs to the teacher. She tells the teacher what Tim did. + +The teacher is mad. She scolds Tim. She tells him to say sorry to Amy. She tells him to sit in the corner. She tells him he can't play with the eraser anymore. She tells him he can't draw or color anymore. + +Tim feels bad. He says sorry to Amy. He sits in the corner. He sees the eraser on the floor. He wants to pick it up. He can't. He sees the other kids drawing and coloring. He wants to join them. He can't. He sees Amy showing her new drawing to the other kids. They like it. They say it is pretty. They say Amy is good. They say Amy is popular. Tim feels alone. He feels jealous. He feels sorry. He wishes he did not erase Amy's drawing. He wishes he did not lose his friend. He wishes he did not find the big eraser. He thinks the big eraser is bad. He thinks the big eraser is not cool. He thinks the big eraser is a problem. He thinks the big eraser is a mistake. He thinks the big eraser is a nightmare. He hates the big eraser. He hates himself. He cries. The end. +Lily was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, without help from anyone. She liked to explore the park, to climb the rocks, to swing on the swings. She did not like to share her toys, or to listen to her mom, or to take a nap. + +One day, Lily saw a big tree in the park. It had many branches and leaves, and a hole in the trunk. Lily wanted to see what was inside the hole. She ran to the tree and climbed up. She put her head in the hole and looked around. She saw a nest with some eggs, and a bird with bright feathers. + +"Hello, bird," Lily said. "Can I play with you?" + +The bird did not like Lily. The bird was scared of Lily. The bird wanted Lily to go away. The bird said, "No, you cannot play with me. This is my home. These are my eggs. You are not welcome here. Go away, or I will peck you." + +Lily did not like the bird. The bird was mean to Lily. The bird did not want to share his home or his eggs. Lily said, "No, I will not go away. This is a nice hole. I want to stay here. You cannot peck me. I am bigger than you." + +The bird and Lily started to argue. They shouted at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about each other. + +Lily's mom heard the noise. She looked for Lily. She saw Lily in the tree, and the bird in the hole. She called to Lily. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? Come down from the tree. It is time to go home. You have to be nice to the bird. The bird lives here. You are a guest. You have to respect his space." + +Lily did not want to listen to her mom. She wanted to stay in the hole. She wanted to be independent. She said, "No, mom. I do not want to go home. I do not want to be nice to the bird. The bird is rude. I want to be in the hole. I like the hole. It is mine now." + +Lily's mom was angry. She said, "Lily, that is enough. You are being selfish and stubborn. You have to come down from the tree. You have to apologize to the bird. You have to share and be polite. Or else, you will be in trouble." + +Lily did not want to be in trouble. She did not want to make her mom angry. She realized that she was wrong. She said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, bird. I will come down from the tree. I will leave your home and your eggs alone. I will be nice and respectful. I will not be independent anymore." + +Lily climbed down from the tree. She said goodbye to the bird. The bird said goodbye to Lily. The bird was happy. Lily was happy. Lily's mom was happy. They all learned a lesson. They all went home. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals. They see cows, pigs, sheep and horses. They also see a big barn. + +One day, they go inside the barn. They find a bag of oats. They want to feed the oats to the horses. But they see a cat. The cat is sleeping on the bag of oats. The cat is very tired. + +"Shoo, shoo, cat!" Lily says. She tries to move the cat. But the cat does not move. The cat hisses at Lily. Lily is scared. + +"Let me try," Ben says. He goes to the cat. He is brave. He does not try to move the cat. He tries to kiss the cat. He thinks the cat will like it. + +But the cat does not like it. The cat scratches Ben's face. Ben cries. He runs away from the cat. He runs to Lily. Lily hugs him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asks. She sees blood on Ben's face. She is worried. + +"I'm okay, Lily," Ben says. He is sad. He does not understand why the cat does not like him. + +"Let's go to the house," Lily says. "We can get a band-aid for your face. And we can get some cookies and milk. Maybe the cat will be gone later. And we can feed the oats to the horses then." + +"Okay, Lily," Ben says. He smiles a little. He likes cookies and milk. And he likes Lily. He thinks Lily is a good friend. He hopes the cat will be nicer next time. +Ben likes to ride his bike. He rides it every day in the park with his dad. He has a red bike with a bell and a basket. He puts his teddy bear in the basket and rings the bell when he sees a dog or a bird. + +One day, Ben sees a big bike in the park. It is blue and shiny and has two wheels. He wants to ride it, but it is not his bike. It is Tom's bike. Tom is older than Ben and he is not very nice. He says, "You can't ride my bike. It is too big for you. You are a baby. Go away." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "I am not a baby. I can ride any bike. Your bike is not too big for me. Let me try." He tries to get on the bike, but it is too high. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries. + +His dad comes and picks him up. He hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben. You don't need to ride Tom's bike. Your bike is better. It is red and tidy and has a bell and a basket. You can ride it very well. Tom's bike is blue and dirty and has no bell and no basket. He can't ride it very well. He is mean and rude." + +Ben stops crying and smiles. He says, "You are right, dad. My bike is better. I like my bike. I don't like Tom. He is a bully. Can we go home now?" His dad says, "Yes, we can. But first, let's put a band-aid on your knee. And then, let's get some ice cream. How does that sound?" Ben says, "That sounds great. I love you, dad." His dad says, "I love you too, Ben. You are my brave and smart boy." They go home and have a good week. +Lily and Ben are playing with a big box. They pretend it is a house, a car, a boat and a rocket. They have a lot of fun with the box. + +One day, they find some stickers and crayons. They want to make the box more pretty. They stick the stickers on the box and draw with the crayons. They make flowers, stars, animals and faces. + +"Look, Ben, I made a funny face on the box!" Lily says. She shows him a face with a big nose, a small mouth and one eye. + +"Ha ha, that is funny, Lily!" Ben says. He makes another funny face on the box. He makes a face with a big mouth, a small nose and two eyes. + +They laugh and laugh at their funny faces. They are very happy. + +But then, they hear a loud snap. The box breaks in the middle. It falls apart. Lily and Ben are sad. They like the box. + +"Oh no, the box is broken!" Lily says. She starts to cry. + +"Don't cry, Lily, it's okay!" Ben says. He hugs her. "We can find another box. Or we can play with something else. We still have the stickers and the crayons. And we still have each other." + +Lily stops crying. She smiles at Ben. He is a good friend. + +"You are right, Ben, it's okay!" Lily says. She hugs him back. "We can still have fun. And we can still make funny faces!" + +They giggle and make funny faces at each other. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and sing. One day, they find a big book with many pictures. The book is about opera. Opera is when people sing very loud and wear funny clothes. + +Lily and Tom want to try opera. They put on some hats and scarves and pretend to be opera singers. They sing very loud and make up words. They have fun. + +But then, Lily's mom comes in. She says, "What are you doing? You are making too much noise. Opera is not easy. You need to learn many things to sing opera well." + +Lily and Tom are sad. They say, "But we like opera. We want to sing like the people in the book." + +Lily's mom smiles. She says, "I know you like opera. But opera is not only loud and funny. Opera is also beautiful and meaningful. Opera tells stories with music and words. If you want to sing opera, you need to listen and learn." + +Lily and Tom are curious. They say, "Can you teach us opera? Can you tell us the stories?" + +Lily's mom nods. She says, "Yes, I can. I love opera too. Come, let's sit down and look at the book together. I will show you some of my favorite operas and explain what they are about. Maybe, one day, you can sing opera too." +Lila was a popular girl in her class. She had many friends who liked to play with her. She was good at sharing, singing and drawing. She always had a smile on her face. + +One day, Lila felt very tired. She had stayed up late to watch a movie with her family. She yawned a lot in the morning. She did not want to get up and go to school. She wanted to stay in bed and sleep. + +"Come on, Lila, it's time to get ready," her mom said. "You don't want to miss the bus." + +"But I'm sleepy, mom," Lila said. "Can I stay home today?" + +"No, sweetie, you have to go to school. You have a lot of fun things to do there. And your friends will miss you." + +Lila sighed. She got out of bed and put on her clothes. She tried to comb her hair, but it was very messy. She had a big knot in her hair that she could not untangle. + +"Ow, ow, ow," she said. "This hurts. Mom, can you help me?" + +"Sure, honey, let me see," her mom said. She took the comb and gently worked on the knot. "There, it's gone. You look beautiful." + +"Thank you, mom," Lila said. She gave her mom a hug and a kiss. She felt a little better. + +She ate her breakfast and brushed her teeth. She put on her backpack and her coat. She walked to the bus stop with her mom. She saw her friends waiting for her. They waved and smiled. + +"Hi, Lila," they said. "We're glad you're here. Do you want to play with us?" + +Lila smiled back. She felt a lot better. She joined her friends and played with them. She forgot about being tired. She was happy to go to school. She was a popular girl in her class. +Tom is a boy who likes to splash. He likes to splash in the bath, in the pool, and in the puddles. He likes to make big waves and bubbles and noise. He does not like to be dry or quiet. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big fountain with water shooting up and down. He runs to the fountain and jumps in. He splashes and laughs and has fun. He gets very wet and messy. + +"Tom, come out of the fountain!" his mom calls. "You are making a mess and you will catch a cold!" + +But Tom does not listen. He splashes more and more. He splashes the other kids and the birds and the flowers. He splashes his mom too. + +"Tom, stop splashing!" his mom says. "You are being naughty and rude!" + +But Tom does not stop. He thinks splashing is funny. He does not care if he is messy or cold or naughty. + +Then, he hears a loud siren. He sees a big red truck with a hose and a ladder. He sees men in yellow hats and coats. They are firefighters. They come to the fountain. + +"Tom, get out of the fountain!" one of the firefighters says. "We need to use the water to put out a fire!" + +Tom is scared. He does not like the siren or the truck or the hose. He does not want to be in the way of the firefighters. He gets out of the fountain. He is wet and messy and sorry. + +He runs to his mom and hugs her. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I won't splash anymore." + +His mom hugs him back. She says, "I'm glad you are safe, Tom. But you need to learn to listen and be polite. Splashing is fun, but not when it causes trouble." + +Tom nods. He says, "I understand, mom. I will be good. Can we go home and change?" + +His mom smiles. She says, "Yes, Tom. We can go home and change. And maybe later, we can splash in the bath." +Lily and Tom were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They also liked to look for fish and frogs and bugs. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the river. It was white and shiny and had many windows. It looked very fancy. Lily and Tom wondered who was on the boat and where they were going. + +"Let's go closer and see!" Lily said. She ran towards the boat, holding Tom's hand. + +But when they got near the boat, they heard a loud voice. It was a man on the boat. He was wearing a hat and a suit and he looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids! Get away from my boat! This is not a place for you to play! Go back to your home!" he yelled. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like the man or his boat. They let go of each other's hand and ran back to the shore. + +"Sorry, mister!" Tom said. "We just wanted to look at your boat. We did not mean to bother you." + +Lily nodded. She felt sad. She thought the boat was pretty, but the man was mean. + +"Come on, Tom. Let's go play somewhere else. We don't need his fancy boat. We have each other and the river and the stones and the fish and the frogs and the bugs. They are more fun!" she said. + +Tom smiled. He agreed with Lily. He did not care about the fancy boat anymore. He hugged Lily and they ran away, laughing and happy. +Anna likes to fold paper. She can make paper hats, paper boats, and paper planes. She likes to play with them and show them to her friends. One day, she finds a big sheet of paper in her room. She thinks it is perfect for folding. + +She starts to fold the paper, but it is very hard. The paper is thick and rough. It does not bend easily. Anna tries to make a paper hat, but it does not look right. She tries to make a paper boat, but it does not float. She tries to make a paper plane, but it does not fly. Anna gets upset. She throws the paper on the floor and cries. + +"Anna, what is wrong?" her mom asks. She comes into the room and sees the paper and the tears. She hugs Anna and wipes her eyes. + +"I want to fold paper, but this paper is bad. It does not work. I can't make anything," Anna says. + +"Anna, this is not paper. This is oat. It is for making cookies. You can't fold oat. It is for eating, not for playing," her mom says. + +"Oat? For cookies?" Anna asks. She looks at the sheet of oat. It does look like food. It has little bits of sugar and nuts on it. + +"Yes, oat. For cookies. I was going to make them with you, but I forgot to put them away. Do you want to help me make cookies instead of folding paper?" her mom asks. + +Anna nods. She likes cookies. She likes to help her mom. She smiles and says, "Yes, please. I want to make cookies with you." + +"Good. Then let's go to the kitchen and bake some oat cookies. Maybe we can find some paper later and fold some paper things. How does that sound?" her mom says. + +Anna agrees. She takes her mom's hand and walks to the kitchen. She forgets about the paper and the tears. She is happy to make cookies with her mom. She thinks oat is good for cookies, but not for folding. +Sara loves her dog, Max. Max is old and deaf. He cannot hear Sara when she calls him. But he can see Sara and smell Sara. He likes to follow Sara everywhere. + +One day, Sara and Max go for a walk. Sara puts a leash on Max. She holds the leash in her hand. She says, "Come on, Max. Let's go to the park." Max wags his tail. He is happy to go with Sara. + +They walk on the sidewalk. Sara sees a big truck. The truck is loud and fast. Sara is scared of the truck. She says, "Max, stay close to me. The truck is dangerous." But Max cannot hear Sara. He does not see the truck. He smells a squirrel. He wants to chase the squirrel. + +Max pulls the leash hard. He runs across the street. Sara tries to stop him. She says, "Max, no! Come back!" But Max cannot hear Sara. He does not listen to Sara. He follows the squirrel. + +The truck sees Max. The truck honks its horn. The horn is loud and scary. Max hears the horn. He is scared of the horn. He stops in the middle of the street. He looks at the truck. He does not know what to do. + +Sara sees Max. She is very scared for Max. She drops the leash. She runs across the street. She says, "Max, come here! I will save you!" She grabs Max by his collar. She pulls him to the sidewalk. She hugs him tight. She says, "Max, you are safe. I love you. But you have to listen to me. You have to stay on my heel. You have to let me lead you. Do you understand?" + +Max licks Sara's face. He wags his tail. He is sorry for running away. He is glad that Sara saved him. He says, "Woof, woof. I love you too. I will try to listen to you. I will try to stay on your heel. I will try to let you lead me. I understand." +Sara and Ben were very hungry. They wanted to eat turkey for lunch. But the turkey was too big for them to carry. It was in the big oven in the kitchen. + +"Mom, can you help us?" Sara asked. "We want to eat turkey." + +Mom smiled. She was very creative. She had an idea. She took out a big knife and a big plate. She cut some turkey for Sara and Ben. She put it on the plate. + +"Here you go, my sweeties," Mom said. "But be careful, the turkey is hot. You need to remove the skin and the bones before you eat it." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They thanked Mom. They took the plate to the table. They removed the skin and the bones from the turkey. They ate the turkey with bread and salad. It was very yummy. + +They were very happy. They loved turkey. They loved Mom. They gave Mom a big hug and a big kiss. Mom hugged and kissed them back. She was very proud of them. They were very good at removing the skin and the bones from the turkey. +Sara and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. Sara wanted to give the snowman a nose, but she could not find a carrot. She looked around and saw a mitten on the ground. It was red and soft. + +"Look, Tom, I found a mitten!" Sara said. "Can I use it for the snowman's nose?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, Sara, that is not a good idea. The mitten is not a nose. It is for keeping your hand warm. If you put it on the snowman, it will get wet and cold. And maybe someone is looking for it." + +Sara frowned. She really wanted to make the snowman look funny. She did not listen to Tom. She took the mitten and rubbed it on the snowman's face. She made a hole and stuck the mitten in it. She smiled and said, "There, now the snowman has a nose. A red nose, like a clown." + +Tom sighed. He was patient with Sara, but he did not like what she did. He thought the snowman looked silly, not funny. He hoped Sara would change her mind and take the mitten off. + +But Sara did not change her mind. She was happy with her snowman. She hugged it and said, "You are my friend, Mr. Snowman. I love your red nose." + +Then they heard a voice. It was a boy, and he sounded angry. He was running towards them. He said, "Hey, that's my mitten! You took my mitten! Give it back!" + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not know the boy. He looked bigger and stronger than them. He reached the snowman and pulled the mitten out of its face. He glared at Sara and said, "You are a bad girl. You stole my mitten. How could you do that?" + +Sara felt sorry. She did not mean to steal the mitten. She just wanted to have fun. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not know it was yours. I thought it was lost. I wanted to make the snowman a nose." + +The boy did not care. He was still angry. He said, "That's no excuse. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first. And you should not ruin my snowman. He looked fine without a nose." + +He put the mitten on his hand and walked away. He muttered, "Some people have no manners." + +Sara and Tom felt bad. They looked at the snowman. He had a hole in his face. He did not look happy. He looked sad. + +Sara said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I should have listened to you. You were right. The mitten was not a good nose. It was a bad idea." + +Tom said, "It's okay, Sara. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them. Next time, we can find a carrot for the snowman's nose. Or something else that is not someone's mitten." + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, next time. And maybe we can say sorry to the boy, too. He was not very nice, but he was also hurt. Maybe he will forgive us." + +Tom nodded. He said, "Maybe. But first, let's fix the snowman. He needs a smile." + +They took some snow and filled the hole. They made a smile with some pebbles. They gave the snowman a hug and said, "We're sorry, Mr. Snowman. We hope you're happy now." + +The snowman did not say anything. But he seemed to smile back. He was happy. And so were Sara and Tom. They learned a lesson. And they had a friend. +Lily loved to play with yarn. She had many colors of yarn in her box. She liked to make shapes and animals with yarn. She also liked to spray water on the yarn and watch it get wet and curly. + +One day, Lily saw a new yarn in the store. It was shiny and soft and had many sparkles. Lily wanted to buy the yarn, but her mom said no. She said the yarn was expensive and not for playing. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted the yarn very much. + +Lily had an idea. She waited until her mom was busy. Then she took the yarn from the shelf and hid it in her pocket. She ran to the bathroom and locked the door. She took out the yarn and sprayed water on it. She hoped it would get curly and pretty. + +But the yarn did not get curly. It got sticky and messy. The sparkles fell off and the water made the yarn turn gray. Lily was shocked and scared. She had ruined the yarn. She heard her mom knocking on the door. She asked what Lily was doing. + +Lily did not know what to say. She felt sorry and ashamed. She opened the door and showed her mom the yarn. She said she was sorry and she wanted the yarn. Her mom was angry and disappointed. She said Lily had to pay for the yarn with her own money. She said Lily had to learn to respect other people's things. + +Lily cried and hugged her mom. She said she was very sorry and she learned her lesson. She said she would not take things without asking again. Her mom hugged her back and said she loved her. She said they would go back to the store and apologize. She said they would find a better way to play with yarn. +Tom and Amy were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. They did not hear their mother calling them from the kitchen. + +"Tom, Amy, hurry up! It's time for dinner!" their mother said. She had cooked a rare treat for them: chicken nuggets and fries. She knew they loved them, but they did not have them often. + +Tom and Amy heard their mother's voice and dropped their toys. They ran to the kitchen as fast as they could. They did not want to miss their favorite food. + +"Wow, chicken nuggets and fries!" Tom exclaimed. "Thank you, mother!" + +"Yes, thank you, mother!" Amy echoed. "Can we have ketchup too?" + +"Of course, my darlings," their mother said. She smiled and gave them each a plate. "But you have to eat your salad first. It's good for you." + +Tom and Amy made a face. They did not like salad very much. But they knew their mother was right. They ate their salad quickly and then enjoyed their chicken nuggets and fries. They were crispy and yummy. + +They thanked their mother again and gave her a hug and a kiss. They were happy and full. They helped their mother clear the table and then went back to their toys. They decided to play a new game: they pretended to be chefs and made more chicken nuggets and fries for their stuffed animals. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing on the swings and slide on the slide. They see a big dog with a chain around his neck. The dog is brown and fluffy. He looks adorable. + +Sara and Ben run to the dog. They want to pet him and hug him. They do not see the sign that says "Beware of the dog". The dog does not like strangers. He barks and growls at Sara and Ben. He pulls on the chain and tries to bite them. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They shout for help. They run away from the dog. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Mom and dad hug them and say they are brave. They say they should never go near a dog they do not know. They say they should always read the signs. + +Sara and Ben nod and say sorry. They learn their lesson. They still like dogs, but they are more careful. They play with their own dog at home. He is small and white. He is adorable. He does not bark or growl. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He loves Sara and Ben. They love him too. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump and slide. They have fun. + +One day, Tom sees a swing. He wants to try it. He runs to the swing and sits on it. He pushes with his feet and goes up and down. He feels happy. + +"Look, Anna, look!" he shouts. "I can swing!" + +Anna runs to him. She wants to swing too. She waits for Tom to stop. But Tom does not stop. He swings faster and faster. + +"Tom, let me have a turn!" Anna says. "It's not fair!" + +Tom does not listen. He swings higher and higher. He thinks he is brave. + +But then, he sees something disgusting. A big bird is flying over him. The bird is pooping. The poop is falling on Tom. It hits his head, his face, his shirt. + +Tom screams. He lets go of the swing. He falls to the ground. He is dirty and smelly. + +Anna laughs. She thinks it is funny. She goes to the swing and sits on it. She pushes with her feet and goes up and down. She feels happy. + +"Look, Tom, look!" she shouts. "I can swing!" +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They make noises and pretend to be drivers. They zoom around the room and have fun. + +One day, they find a big ball in the yard. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. Sam has an idea. He says, "Let's balance the ball on the truck. It will be cool." Tom agrees. He says, "OK, let's try it." + +They put the ball on the truck. They push the truck slowly. The ball stays on the truck. They are happy. They push the truck faster. The ball rolls on the truck. They are excited. They push the truck even faster. The ball falls off the truck. They are surprised. + +The ball bounces on the ground. It hits the fence. It hits the tree. It hits the window. It makes a loud noise. Mom comes out. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing? You are crazy. You could break something. Stop playing with the ball. Go inside now." + +Sam and Tom are sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We wanted to balance the ball on the truck. We didn't mean to make a mess." Mom says, "I know, but you have to be careful. The ball is too big and heavy for the truck. It is dangerous. Next time, play with something else. Now, go inside and clean up." + +Sam and Tom go inside. They put away their toy cars and trucks. They say, "Maybe we can play with the ball again tomorrow. But not on the truck. Maybe on the grass. Or with a bat. Or with a hoop. That would be fun." They smile and hug. They are still brothers. They still like to play. +Lily and Tom like to play outside. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. They start to climb. + +The hill is very steep. Lily and Tom use their muscles to push and pull. They are hot and tired. They want to reach the top. They keep going. + +They are almost there. They see a big hole. They are curious. They want to look inside. They go closer and closer. + +But the hole is not empty. It is the home of a snake. The snake is angry. It does not like visitors. It sees Lily and Tom. It hisses and bites. + +Lily and Tom scream. They are hurt and scared. They try to run away. But the snake is fast and strong. It wraps around them. It squeezes them. They cannot breathe. + +Lily and Tom close their eyes. They wish they never climbed the hill. They wish they stayed away from the hole. They wish they listened to their mom. But it is too late. The snake eats them. The end. +Lily liked to draw with her pastels. She had many colors and she made pretty pictures of flowers and animals. She liked to show her pictures to her mom and dad and they said she was very good. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and saw a girl with a big box of pastels. The girl had more colors than Lily and she was drawing a rainbow. Lily felt envious of the girl and wanted to have her pastels. + +She went to the girl and said, "Can I have some of your pastels? I want to draw a rainbow too." + +The girl looked at Lily and said, "No, these are mine. You have your own pastels. Go away." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That's not nice. You have too many pastels. You should share with me." + +The girl said, "No, I don't. I like my pastels. They are better than yours. Go away or I will tell my mom." + +Lily did not go away. She tried to grab some of the girl's pastels, but the girl pushed her away. They started to fight and yell. Their moms heard them and came to see what was wrong. + +They saw the girls fighting over the pastels and they were not happy. They took the pastels away from them and said, "Stop fighting. You are not being kind to each other. You should share and play nicely." + +The girls felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were not being kind. We were being envious and greedy." + +Their moms said, "It's okay. We forgive you. But you need to learn to respect each other's things and feelings. You can have fun with your own pastels or you can ask nicely if you can borrow some. But you should never fight or take without asking." + +The girls said, "We understand, mom. We will do better next time. Can we have our pastels back?" + +Their moms said, "Yes, you can. But only if you promise to share and play nicely." + +The girls said, "We promise, mom. We will share and play nicely." + +Their moms gave them their pastels back and smiled. They said, "That's good. We are proud of you. Now you can draw together and make beautiful pictures." + +The girls said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They hugged their moms and then they hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, friend. We were not being nice. We like your pastels and we like your pictures. Can we draw together?" + +They said, "Yes, friend. We are sorry too. We like your pastels and we like your pictures too. Let's draw together." + +They smiled and sat down on the grass. They shared their pastels and drew a big rainbow. They used many colors and they made it bright and happy. They were not envious anymore. They were happy and friendly. They increased their fun and their friendship. +Tim and Mia like to play with water. They have a big hose in the garden. They can spray water on the flowers, the grass and each other. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a big truck stop in front of their house. The truck has a picture of a green tree on it. A man comes out of the truck. He has a big tank on his back and a long tube in his hand. He knocks on the door and talks to Tim and Mia's mom. + +"Hello, I'm here to spray your tree. It has some bugs that make it sick. I need some money for my work. Can you pay me now?" he says. + +Tim and Mia's mom nods and goes inside to get some money. She leaves the door open. Tim and Mia are curious. They want to see the man spray the tree. They sneak out of the door and follow him to the backyard. + +The man puts on a mask and gloves. He turns on the tank and starts to spray the tree. He does not see Tim and Mia behind him. They watch him and think it looks fun. They want to try it too. + +They run to the hose and turn it on. They grab the hose and aim it at the man. They spray him with water. The water is cold and wet. The man is surprised and angry. He drops the tube and turns around. He sees Tim and Mia laughing. + +"Hey, what are you doing? Stop that! You are ruining my work! You are naughty kids!" he shouts. + +Tim and Mia's mom hears the noise and comes out. She sees the mess and the man. She is shocked and sorry. She apologizes to the man and gives him the money. She scolds Tim and Mia and takes them inside. She tells them they have to say sorry to the man and the tree. She tells them they have to learn to be good and respectful. + +Tim and Mia feel bad. They did not mean to make the man and the tree unhappy. They say sorry to the man and the tree. They promise to be good and respectful. They hug their mom and each other. They still like to play with water, but they do not spray anyone or anything without asking. They spray only the flowers, the grass and each other. They have fun and laugh a lot. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them. + +"Come, Sam, let's go to the slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. + +"Wait for me, Tom!" Sam says. He follows Tom and gets in line behind him. + +Tom slides down fast and laughs. He lands on the grass and rolls over. He looks up and sees a black bird in the sky. It has a long tail and a red beak. It makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, look at that bird, Sam! It is so black and big!" Tom says. + +Sam slides down and joins Tom. He looks at the bird too. He thinks it is pretty. + +"It is a pass, Tom. A pass is a kind of bird that can talk. My dad told me," Sam says. + +"Really? Can it talk to us?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can try. Come, let's go closer to it," Sam says. + +They get up and run to the tree where the bird is sitting. They stop under the tree and look up. + +"Hello, pass! What is your name?" Sam says. + +The bird looks at them and tilts its head. It opens its beak and says: + +"Hello, pass! What is your name?" It repeats what Sam said. + +Tom and Sam are surprised and happy. They laugh and clap their hands. + +"Wow, it can talk! It can copy us!" Tom says. + +"Let's say something else. Maybe it will learn," Sam says. + +They take turns saying different words and phrases to the bird. The bird repeats everything they say. They have fun talking to the bird. Their moms watch them and smile. They think their sons are very smart and curious. They are proud of them. +One day, a little girl named Lily wanted to play in the snow. She put on her warm coat, hat, boots and gloves and went outside. She saw a big hill of snow and ran towards it. She wanted to make a snowman and a snow angel. + +But when she got to the hill, she saw that it was not snow. It was trash. Someone had dumped a lot of trash on the hill and covered it with a thin layer of snow. Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like trash. She liked snow. + +She looked around and saw a man with a big truck. He was the one who had dumped the trash. Lily walked up to him and asked, "Why did you put trash on the snow? Don't you know that trash is bad for the earth and the animals and the people?" + +The man looked at Lily and felt ashamed. He did not have a good answer. He had dumped the trash because he was lazy and did not want to take it to the right place. He said, "I'm sorry, little girl. I made a mistake. I should not have put trash on the snow. I will take it away and put it where it belongs." + +Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mister. Please don't do it again. Snow is beautiful and fun and clean. Trash is ugly and dirty and mean. We should take care of the snow and the earth and each other." + +The man agreed and said, "You are right, little girl. You are very smart and kind. You taught me a lesson today. I will be more careful and responsible from now on." + +He got in his truck and drove away with the trash. Lily smiled and went to find another hill of snow. She made a snowman and a snow angel and had a lot of fun. She was happy and proud. She had helped the earth and the snow and the man. + +The end. + +The moral value of the story is: We should respect and protect the environment and not litter or pollute. We should also speak up and ask questions when we see something wrong. We can learn from our mistakes and change for the better. +Lily was a beautiful girl who liked to help her grandma. Grandma had a cane that she used to walk. Lily wanted to make the cane shiny and clean for her grandma. She took the cane to the sink and turned on the water. She used a cloth and some soap to wash the cane. + +"Hello, Lily. What are you doing?" Grandma asked. She came into the kitchen and saw Lily with the cane. + +"I am washing your cane, Grandma. I want to make it nice for you," Lily said. She smiled and showed Grandma the cane. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and thoughtful," Grandma said. She hugged Lily and took the cane. "But you know, the cane is not the most beautiful thing in this house. You are, my dear. You are the most beautiful thing in this house and in my heart." + +Lily felt happy and warm. She hugged Grandma back and said, "I love you, Grandma. You are the most beautiful thing in my heart, too." +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big bridge over the water. The bridge is very old and has many cracks and stones. + +"Let's go to the bridge!" Ben says. He runs to the bridge and climbs on it. + +Anna follows him. She sees a stick on the ground. She picks it up and says, "Look, I have a stick. I can mark the bridge with it." + +She starts to draw on the bridge with the stick. She makes circles and lines and stars. + +"Stop it, Anna!" Ben says. "You can't mark the bridge. It is ancient. It is not for drawing. It is for crossing." + +Anna does not listen. She likes to mark the bridge. She thinks it is fun and pretty. + +A man sees them from the other side of the water. He is angry. He shouts, "Hey, you kids! Get off the bridge! You are ruining it! It is ancient. It is not for playing. It is for respecting." + +Anna and Ben hear the man. They are scared. They drop the stick and run away from the bridge. They do not want to get in trouble. + +They go back to the park and play with the swings and the slides. They do not mark the bridge anymore. They learn to be careful with ancient things. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries. They were hungry. + +"Let's pick some berries and eat them," Lila said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Some berries are bad and make you sick," Tom said. + +They made a plan. They would only pick the berries that looked good and smelled good. They would not pick the berries that looked bad and smelled bad. They would not pick the berries that were too high or too low. They would not pick the berries that had bugs or worms on them. + +They started to pick the berries. They put them in a basket. They found many good berries. They were happy. + +"Look, I found a big one. It looks so yummy," Lila said. She showed Tom the berry. It was big and red and shiny. + +"Wow, that's a nice berry. Can I have a bite?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, here you go," Lila said. She gave Tom half of the berry. They both bit into the berry. + +But the berry was not good. It was bad. It was very sour and bitter. It made their mouths hurt. It made their tummies hurt. It made them feel sick. + +They spit out the berry. They dropped the basket. They cried. + +"Help, help, we ate a bad berry. We need help," they shouted. + +But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were alone in the woods. They were not safe. They were in trouble. +Ben and Jen are twins who like to help their dad on the farm. One day, their dad asks them to load some oats into the truck. He says, "Be careful, oats are heavy and you don't want to spill them." + +Ben and Jen nod and start to carry the oats in big buckets. They work hard and soon they fill the truck with oats. They are proud of themselves and want to show their dad. + +But on their way to the house, they see a big hole in the fence. They are curious and nosy. They want to see what is on the other side of the fence. They leave the truck and go to the hole. + +They peek through the hole and see a big, brown horse. The horse sees them too and comes closer. He sniffs them and licks them. Ben and Jen giggle and pet the horse. They think he is friendly and cute. + +But the horse is hungry and smells the oats in the truck. He pushes his head through the hole and reaches for the truck. He starts to eat the oats from the truck. He eats and eats and eats. He makes a big mess and spills the oats everywhere. + +Ben and Jen hear the noise and turn around. They are shocked and scared. They try to stop the horse, but he is too strong and fast. They run to the house and call their dad. + +Their dad comes and sees the horse and the oats. He is angry and sad. He says, "Ben and Jen, what have you done? You were supposed to load the oats, not feed them to the horse. You were nosy and careless. You wasted the oats and the money. You have to learn to listen and follow instructions." + +Ben and Jen feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, dad. We wanted to help you, but we were nosy and curious. We won't do it again. We will listen and follow instructions." + +Their dad hugs them and says, "I forgive you, but you have to help me fix the fence and clean the truck. And you have to work harder to earn the money for the oats. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Jen nod and say, "We understand, dad. We will help you and work harder. We love you, dad." + +Their dad smiles and says, "I love you too, Ben and Jen. Now let's go and finish the work." + +The moral of the story is: Listen and follow instructions, and don't be nosy and careless. +Ben was a bad boy. He liked to steal things from other kids. He stole toys, snacks, books, and anything he wanted. He did not care if the other kids were sad or angry. He thought he was the best in the world. + +One day, he saw a big ball in the park. It was red and shiny and had stars on it. He wanted it very much. He ran to the ball and grabbed it. He did not see the girl who was playing with it. She was very small and had a rough coat. She cried when she saw Ben take her ball. + +"Give me back my ball!" she said. "It is mine!" + +But Ben did not listen. He laughed and ran away with the ball. He thought he was very clever and happy. + +But he was wrong. The ball was not a normal ball. It was a magic ball. It belonged to a fairy who liked to help good kids. The fairy saw what Ben did and was very angry. She used her magic to make the ball grow bigger and bigger. It grew so big that it trapped Ben inside. He could not get out. He was scared and sorry. + +The fairy flew to the girl and gave her a hug. She said, "I'm sorry for what Ben did. He is a bad boy. He does not know how to share and be kind. He will learn his lesson. Here, you can have your ball back. It is a special ball. It can show you the world. You can see the mountains, the oceans, the animals, and the stars. You can learn and have fun. You are a good girl. You deserve it." + +The girl smiled and thanked the fairy. She took her ball and played with it. She saw many wonderful things. She was very happy. + +Ben was not happy. He was stuck in the ball. He could only see himself. He was lonely and bored. He wished he had not stolen the ball. He wished he had been nice to the girl. He wished he could say sorry. + +He learned his lesson. He learned that stealing is wrong. He learned that being kind and sharing is right. He learned that the world is not his. It is for everyone. He hoped the fairy would forgive him and let him out. + +The fairy did forgive him. After a long time, she made the ball smaller and smaller. She let Ben out. She said, "You have been punished enough. I hope you have changed. I hope you will not steal again. I hope you will be a good boy." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, fairy. I'm sorry, girl. I was wrong. I will not steal again. I will be a good boy. I will share and be kind. Thank you for giving me another chance." + +The fairy smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you have learned. Now go and play nicely with the other kids. And remember, the world is a beautiful place. But you have to respect it and love it. And you have to respect and love yourself and others. That is the way to be happy." + +Ben understood. He thanked the fairy again and ran to the park. He saw the girl with the ball. He went to her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Can I play with you?" + +The girl smiled and said, "Sure, I'm Lily. This is my ball. It is a magic ball. It can show you the world. Do you want to see?" + +Ben said, "Yes, please. That sounds amazing. Can I share it with you?" + +Lily said, "Of course. Sharing is fun. Come on, let's play." + +They played with the ball. They saw the world. They learned and had fun. They became friends. + +The fairy watched them and was happy. She flew away and looked for other good kids to help. She left the ball with Lily and Ben. She knew they would take good care of it. And of each other. And of the world. +Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big slide and pretend it was a mountain. They also liked to look at the animals in the zoo next to the park. They could see lions, monkeys, and zebras. + +One day, they saw a new animal in the zoo. It was a leopard. It had yellow fur with black spots. It was very fast and strong. Lila and Sam wanted to see it closer, so they went to the fence. + +"Hello, leopard!" Lila said. "You are very pretty. Do you like the zoo?" + +The leopard looked at Lila and Sam. It did not say anything. It looked sad and bored. It had a broken leg. It had a bandage around it. It could not run or play. + +"Leopard, why are you sad?" Sam asked. "Did you hurt your leg?" + +The leopard nodded. It told Lila and Sam that it had fallen from a tree in the forest. It had been taken to the zoo to get better. But it missed its home and its friends. + +Lila and Sam felt sorry for the leopard. They wanted to make it happy. They decided to bring it some toys and treats. They asked their mom to buy them some balls, ropes, and meat. They also made a card for the leopard. It said: "Get well soon, leopard. We are your friends." + +The next day, they went back to the zoo. They gave the leopard the toys, the treats, and the card. The leopard was surprised and happy. It thanked Lila and Sam. It played with the balls and the ropes. It ate the meat. It smiled and purred. + +Lila and Sam were happy too. They watched the leopard have fun. They hoped that its leg would heal soon. They also hoped that it would go back to the forest. They said goodbye to the leopard and promised to visit it again. + +The leopard watched Lila and Sam leave. It felt less sad and bored. It had made some new friends. It looked at the sky and saw the sun rise. It felt a warm glow in its heart. +Lily liked to count. She counted everything. She counted her fingers and toes, her dolls and books, her crayons and stickers. She counted the stars at night and the flowers in the garden. She counted the steps to the door and the tiles on the floor. + +One night, Lily did not want to go to bed. She wanted to count more things. She said to her mom, "Mom, can I count the sheep on my blanket?" Her mom said, "No, Lily, it is time for bed. You can count the sheep in your dreams." But Lily was persistent. She said, "Please, mom, just one more thing. Can I count the buttons on your shirt?" Her mom said, "No, Lily, enough counting. You need to sleep. Come on, let's go to bed." + +Lily followed her mom to her room, but she did not stop counting. She counted the pillows on her bed, the books on her shelf, the stars on her ceiling. She counted the stripes on her pajamas, the teeth in her mouth, the hairs on her head. She counted the words in her bedtime story, the kisses from her mom, the hugs from her teddy. She counted until her eyes were heavy and her voice was soft. She counted until she fell asleep. And then she counted the sheep in her dreams. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the woods. They made a tent with sticks and leaves. They pretended they were camping. They wanted to cook some food, but they had no fuel. + +"Look, Ben, I found some berries!" Mia said. She picked a handful of red and blue berries. "We can eat these." + +"Are they good?" Ben asked. He was hungry. + +"I don't know. Let's try." Mia said. She put one berry in her mouth. She made a face. "Yuck! It's bitter!" + +Ben laughed. He took a berry too. He bit it. He spat it out. "Blech! It's bad!" + +They threw the berries away. They looked for something else to eat. + +They saw a squirrel. It was holding a nut. It ran up a tree. + +"Hey, squirrel, give us your nut!" Ben shouted. He threw a stick at the squirrel. + +The squirrel dodged the stick. It dropped the nut. It chattered angrily. + +"Ha, we got it!" Mia said. She ran to the nut. She picked it up. "Let's cook it!" + +They ran back to their tent. They looked for some fuel. They found some dry leaves and twigs. They piled them up. They tried to light them with a match. + +But the match did not work. It was wet. They tried another one. And another one. They had no more matches. + +They could not cook the nut. They could not eat it. It was too hard. + +They were sad. They were hungry. They wished they had some real food. + +They heard a voice. It was their mom. + +"Ben, Mia, where are you?" she called. "It's time to go home. I cooked some soup for you. It's warm and yummy." + +They heard her. They smiled. They ran to her. + +"Mom, we're here!" they shouted. "We're coming!" + +They hugged their mom. They told her about their adventure. They said they were sorry for taking the matches. + +She smiled. She forgave them. She took them home. + +They ate the soup. It was not bitter. It was good. + +They were happy. They thanked their mom. + +They learned a lesson. They never played with matches again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had a pink dress and long hair. Lily always took Anna with her wherever she went. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the doctor. Lily did not like the doctor. She was afraid of the needles and the cold stethoscope. She wanted to stay home and play with Anna. She said to her mom, "No, no, no! I don't want to go! I want to play with Anna!" + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to go. The doctor will check if you are healthy and give you a sticker. It will be quick and easy. You can bring Anna with you, but you have to be a good girl and listen to me." + +Lily was not happy, but she did not want to make her mom angry. She grabbed Anna and followed her mom to the car. They drove to the doctor's office, which was in a huge building. Lily had never seen such a big building before. She wondered what was inside. + +They got out of the car and walked to the door. There was a sign that said "Doctor Smith". Lily's mom pushed the door and they entered a hall. The hall was long and had many doors on both sides. Lily saw other people waiting in the hall. Some of them looked sick or sad. Lily felt scared. She held Anna tight and said, "Mom, I don't like it here. Can we go back?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lily, we have to wait for our turn. The doctor will call us soon. Don't worry, it will be over before you know it. Why don't you sit here and play with Anna? Look, there are some books and toys on the table. Maybe you can find something you like." + +Lily did not want to play with anything else. She only wanted Anna. She sat on a chair and hugged Anna. She looked around the hall and hoped the doctor would not come. She wished she was at home, where she felt safe and happy. She whispered to Anna, "Don't be afraid, Anna. I will protect you. You are my best friend." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a small dog. The dog is black and white. The dog has a funny name. His name is Joke. + +"Hello, Joke!" Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +Joke wags his tail. He likes to play. He runs after Tom and Mia. He tries to catch them. They run faster and faster. They have fun. + +"Joke, you are so fast!" Mia says. "But we are faster!" + +Joke barks. He has a joke. He pretends to be tired. He stops and lies down. He closes his eyes. + +"Oh no, Joke!" Tom says. "Are you okay?" + +Tom and Mia run to Joke. They are worried. They touch his fur. They call his name. + +Joke opens his eyes. He jumps up. He licks their faces. He wags his tail. He laughs. + +"Joke, you tricked us!" Mia says. "You are not tired. You are silly!" + +Tom and Mia laugh too. They hug Joke. They are not mad. They like his joke. They play some more. They are happy. +Mark is a boy who likes to draw. He has many colors and papers to make pictures. He draws cars, animals, trees and people. He is very happy when he draws. + +One day, Mark wants to draw a big picture on the wall. He thinks it will look cool. He takes his colors and goes to the wall. He starts to draw a big car with red and blue. + +But his mom sees him and says, "Mark, what are you doing? You cannot draw on the wall. That is bad. You will make the wall dirty. You have to draw on paper." + +Mark says, "But mom, I want to make a cool picture. The wall is big and white. It is boring. My picture will make it fun." + +Mom says, "No, Mark. The wall is not for drawing. It is for hanging photos and paintings. If you want to make a cool picture, you can draw on paper and then put it on the bookshelf. The bookshelf is for your pictures and books. It is your special place. Do you understand?" + +Mark nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I am sorry. I will not draw on the wall again. I will draw on paper and put it on the bookshelf. Can I keep my car picture?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can keep your car picture. It is very nice. But you have to clean the wall first. Here is a cloth and some water. Can you do that?" + +Mark says, "Yes, mom. I can do that. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Mark. You are a good boy. Now, let's clean the wall and then you can draw more pictures on paper." +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Sometimes they pretended they were racing or chasing each other. + +"Look, Ben, I can reverse my car!" Anna said, as she moved her car backwards. "Can you do that?" + +Ben tried to reverse his car, but he was not very good at it. He bumped into a flower pot and knocked it over. The dirt and the flowers spilled on the ground. + +"Oh no, Ben, you made a mess!" Anna said. "Mommy will be angry. We have to fix it." + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break the flower pot. He liked the flowers. They were pretty and smelled nice. He and Anna picked up the pieces of the pot and put them in a pile. Then they tried to put the dirt and the flowers back in the pot. + +But the pot was too old and broken. It could not hold the dirt and the flowers anymore. They kept falling out. Anna and Ben did not know what to do. + +"Maybe we can find another pot," Anna said. "Or we can ask Mommy for help." + +But before they could do that, they heard a voice behind them. + +"What are you two doing?" It was Mommy. She had seen the mess from the window. She looked at the broken pot, the dirt, and the flowers. She was not happy. + +"Mommy, we are sorry," Anna said. "We were playing with our cars and Ben reversed his car and broke the pot. We tried to fix it, but we couldn't." + +Mommy sighed. She was not angry anymore. She knew they did not do it on purpose. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. Accidents happen. But you have to be careful with nature. Nature is alive and needs care. The flowers are not toys. They are living things that grow and need water and sun. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They loved nature. They wanted to take care of it. + +"Can we help you find a new pot for the flowers, Mommy?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mommy said. "That would be very nice of you. Come on, let's go inside and see what we can find." + +Anna and Ben followed Mommy inside. They left their cars in the garden. They did not want to play with them anymore. They wanted to help Mommy and the flowers. They learned a new word today: reverse. And they learned a new lesson: to respect nature. +Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They like to watch movies on the big TV. Sometimes they watch funny movies, sometimes they watch scary movies. Today they want to watch a scary movie about a big shark. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asks. She holds the remote in her hand. + +"Yes, I am ready, Lily," Ben says. He sits on the couch and puts a pillow on his lap. + +Lily presses the button and the movie starts. They see the blue water and the fish. They hear the music. They know the shark is coming. + +"Look, Lily, there it is!" Ben points at the screen. He sees the big shark with the sharp teeth. It swims fast and bites a boat. + +"Wow, that is a dangerous shark!" Lily says. She feels her heart beat fast. She grabs Ben's hand. + +They watch the movie and see the shark attack more people. They scream and hide behind the pillow. They are scared, but they also like the movie. + +"Ben, do you want to stop the movie?" Lily asks. She sees Ben's face. He looks pale and sweaty. + +"No, Lily, I want to see the end," Ben says. He tries to be brave. He wants to know if the people can escape the shark. + +They watch the movie until the end. They see the people shoot the shark with a big gun. They see the shark explode and sink. They hear the people cheer and hug. + +"Yay, they did it!" Lily says. She feels happy and relieved. She lets go of Ben's hand. + +"Yay, they did it!" Ben says. He feels happy and relieved too. He smiles at Lily. + +They turn off the TV and hug each other. They are proud of themselves for watching the scary movie. + +"Let's relax now, Ben," Lily says. She feels tired and sleepy. + +"OK, Lily, let's relax," Ben says. He feels tired and sleepy too. + +They lie down on the couch and close their eyes. They relax and fall asleep. They dream of nice things, not sharks. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is open and deep. They want to know what is inside. + +"Let's go and look," Tom says. He runs to the hole and gazes down. He sees nothing but dark. + +"Be careful, Tom," Sara says. She follows him and gazes too. She feels scared. + +"Maybe there is a monster in there," Tom says. He makes a scary face and growls. + +"Stop it, Tom, you are silly," Sara says. She laughs and pushes him gently. + +They hear a noise from the hole. It sounds like a meow. They look again and see a small cat. It is stuck and scared. + +"Look, Sara, it is a cat," Tom says. He smiles and reaches his hand. + +"Meow, meow," the cat says. It tries to climb up. + +"Let's help it, Tom," Sara says. She holds Tom's hand and pulls him up. They find a stick and lower it to the cat. + +The cat grabs the stick and they lift it up. It is dirty and wet, but happy. It purrs and rubs against them. + +"Hello, cat, you are safe now," Sara says. She hugs the cat and strokes its fur. + +"Can we keep it, Sara?" Tom says. He likes the cat too. + +"I don't know, Tom, we have to ask our moms," Sara says. She looks at the cat and smiles. + +They take the cat to their moms. Their moms are happy that they helped the cat. They say they can keep it if they take good care of it. + +Sara and Tom are very happy. They name the cat Lucky. They play with it and love it. Lucky is happy too. He has found new friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. They are happy. They think they find a treasure. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. She picks up a necklace with a blue stone. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Ben asks. He takes the necklace from Anna and puts it around his neck. "It is too tight. It hurts!" + +"Let me help you," Anna says. She tries to unhook the necklace, but it is stuck. "Oh no, what can we do?" + +"Maybe we can ask someone to help us," Ben says. He looks around and sees a lady sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. "Excuse me, can you help us?" he calls. + +The lady looks up and sees the children. She smiles and walks over to them. She sees the box and the necklace. "Where did you find these?" she asks. + +"We found them under the tree. We thought they were a treasure," Anna says. + +The lady nods. She takes the necklace and gently untangles it. She gives it back to Anna. "These are not a treasure, my dears. They are costume jewelry. They are not real or valuable. They are just for fun." + +"Costume jewelry?" Ben repeats. He does not understand. + +The lady explains. "Costume jewelry is jewelry that you wear to pretend. You can wear it to dress up or to play. But you have to be careful. It can break or hurt you if it is too tight or sharp." + +"Oh, I see," Anna says. She looks at the necklace. She does not want it anymore. "Can we give it back to you?" + +The lady shakes her head. "No, thank you. You can keep it or share it with your friends. But remember, it is not a treasure. It is just costume jewelry." + +"Thank you for teaching us," Ben says. He and Anna smile. They put the necklace and the other shiny things back in the box. They close the box and leave it under the tree. They go to play on the swings. They are still happy. They have each other. They are friends. They are a treasure. +Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big hill with a lot of rocks. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tim!" Lily says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Tim says. "But be careful. The rocks are hard and sharp. We don't want to fall and hurt ourselves." + +They start to climb the hill. They use their hands and feet to hold on to the rocks. They are brave and strong. They reach the top of the hill and look around. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. She points to a big hole in the ground. "It looks like a cave. Maybe there are animals or treasures inside." + +"Let's go and see!" Tim says. He runs to the hole and looks inside. It is dark and cold. He sees something white and shiny. He picks it up and shows it to Lily. + +"Lily, look what I found!" Tim says. "It is a skeleton! It is like the ones we see in books. It has a head, a body, and bones. Maybe it was a person or an animal a long time ago." + +"Wow, that is cool, Tim!" Lily says. She touches the skeleton. It is hard and smooth. She sees something red and round on the skeleton's mouth. She thinks it is a candy. She takes it and puts it in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" Lily says. She spits out the candy. It is not a candy. It is a sour cherry. It makes her mouth hurt and her face twist. "This is not a candy, Tim! This is a sour cherry! It is bad and nasty!" + +"Sorry, Lily!" Tim says. He laughs. He thinks Lily is funny. He gives her a hug. "Don't be sad, Lily. We can find something else to play with. Maybe we can test the skeleton and see what it can do. Maybe we can make it dance or sing or jump." + +"OK, Tim!" Lily says. She smiles. She thinks Tim is nice. She likes to play with him. They take the skeleton and go to the cave. They have fun testing the skeleton and making it do silly things. They forget about the sour cherry and the hard rocks. They are happy and curious. They are friends. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a pink doll that she loves very much. Ben has a truck that he likes to zoom around. They are having fun until Ben sees Sara's doll. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Sara. + +"No, this is my doll. You have your truck," Sara says. + +"But I want to play with your doll. It is so pink and pretty," Ben says. + +He tries to grab the doll from Sara, but Sara holds it tight. They start to pull and tug on the doll. Sara and Ben are both frowning. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the doll. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Sara won't let me play with her doll," Ben says. + +"Ben wants to take my doll," Sara says. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. She goes to the kitchen and brings back a small bowl of salt. + +"Look, I have something for you to play with. It is salt. It is white and shiny and you can sprinkle it on things," Mom says. + +She gives the bowl of salt to Ben and Sara. They stop fighting and look at the salt. They are curious. + +"What can we do with the salt?" Ben asks. + +"You can make shapes with it on the table. You can draw with it on paper. You can pretend it is snow or sand or stars," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben smile. They like the salt. They start to play with it. They make a circle, a triangle, a heart, and a star. They draw a sun, a moon, a flower, and a truck. They pretend the salt is snow and make a snowman. They pretend the salt is sand and make a castle. They pretend the salt is stars and make a wish. + +They are having fun with the salt. They forget about the doll and the truck. They are not frowning anymore. They are happy. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She is glad they are playing nicely. She thinks the salt is a good toy. She thinks the pink doll is a good toy too. She thinks Sara and Ben are good kids. She loves them very much. +Sara and Ben were playing with their new toy. It was a big book with pictures and sounds. When they touched a picture, the toy said the word and spelled it out loud. Sara and Ben liked to learn new words and sounds. + +But then, their elderly grandma came to visit. She wanted to read them a story from a different book. She said, "Come, children, let me read you a nice story. Put away your toy for a while." + +Sara and Ben did not want to put away their toy. They wanted to keep playing and touching the pictures. They said, "No, grandma, we want to play with our toy. It is fun and we learn a lot. Please, let us play." + +Grandma was sad and angry. She said, "Children, you are being rude and selfish. You should listen to your grandma and respect her. Your toy is not as good as a real book. A real book has more words and stories and imagination. Your toy is just a noise-maker. You will not learn anything from it." + +Sara and Ben did not understand why grandma was so mad. They liked their toy and they liked their grandma. They did not want to make her sad or angry. They said, "Sorry, grandma, we did not mean to be rude or selfish. We like our toy, but we also like you. Can we play with our toy and read with you? Can we do both?" + +Grandma thought for a moment. She saw that Sara and Ben were sincere and curious. She said, "Well, I suppose we can do both. But you have to promise me that you will also listen to my stories and ask me questions. And you have to share your toy with me and let me touch the pictures too. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, grandma, we can do that. We promise. We want to learn from you and from our toy. We want to have fun with you and with our toy. We love you, grandma." + +Grandma smiled and hugged them. She said, "I love you too, children. You are very smart and sweet. Come, let us play and read together." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Sometimes they see a horse in the park. The horse is gentle and brown. His name is Spot. + +One day, Anna and Ben have a picnic in the park. They bring some bread, cheese and fruit. They also bring some oats for Spot. They sit on a blanket and eat their food. They are happy and full. + +"Look, there is Spot!" Anna says. "Let's go and say hello to him." + +"OK, but be careful. He is big and strong." Ben says. + +They walk to the fence where Spot is. They hold out their hands with some oats. Spot comes closer and sniffs their hands. He likes the oats. He licks their hands with his tongue. Anna and Ben giggle. + +"Hello, Spot. You are a good horse. Do you like the oats?" Anna asks. + +Spot nods his head and neighs. He wants more oats. Anna and Ben give him some more. They pet his mane and his nose. He is soft and warm. + +"Thank you, Spot. You are a nice horse. We enjoy playing with you." Ben says. + +Spot nods his head and neighs again. He is happy and full too. He gives them a gentle nudge with his nose. He likes Anna and Ben. They are his friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big pond. The pond is deep and has fish and frogs. + +"Look, Sam, a pond!" Tom says. "Let's drink some water. I am thirsty." + +"No, Tom, don't drink!" Sam says. "The water is dirty. It can make you sick." + +But Tom does not listen. He bends down and drinks some water. He thinks it is good. + +"Yum, yum, water!" Tom says. "You are silly, Sam. The water is fine." + +Sam is angry. He does not like Tom to call him silly. He thinks Tom is silly. + +"Tom, you are silly!" Sam says. "The water is not fine. It has germs and bugs. You will get a tummy ache." + +They start to argue. They shout and push each other. They are not friends anymore. + +A man sees them. He is a judge. He works in the court. He wears a black robe and a white wig. He is wise and fair. + +"Stop, stop, boys!" the judge says. "Why are you fighting?" + +Tom and Sam tell him. They both think they are right. They both want the judge to agree with them. + +The judge listens. He thinks for a while. He speaks. + +"Boys, you are both wrong," the judge says. "You should not drink from the pond. It is not safe. You should drink from the fountain. It is clean and fresh. And you should not call each other silly. It is not nice. You should say sorry and be friends again." + +Tom and Sam feel ashamed. They realize they made a mistake. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They thank the judge. They go to the fountain. They drink some water. They are friends again. They play in the park. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to listen to the radio and dance to the music. Lily was clever and knew how to turn on the radio by herself. She pressed the button and the radio made a loud noise. + +"Wow, Lily, you are so clever!" Ben said. "Can you make the radio play a different song?" + +Lily nodded and turned the knob. The radio played a different song. It was a funny song that made them laugh. They danced and jumped and clapped their hands. + +But then, Mom came into the living room. She looked angry. She did not like the loud noise. She said, "Lily, Ben, stop playing with the radio! It is too loud and it is time for your nap!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop. They liked the radio and the music. They said, "No, Mom, we want to play!" + +Mom did not listen. She walked to the radio and slapped it. The radio stopped making noise. It was quiet and sad. + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They did not like what Mom did. They said, "Mom, why did you slap the radio? You hurt it!" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily, Ben, I did not mean to hurt the radio. I was just angry and tired. But you have to listen to me. The radio is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. And you have to take a nap now. Come on, let's go to your room." + +Lily and Ben were still upset. They did not want to take a nap. They wanted to play with the radio. But they knew Mom was right. The radio was not a toy. And they were tired too. They followed Mom to their room. They said, "Bye, radio, we are sorry. We will play with you later." + +The radio did not say anything. It was quiet and sad. But it hoped that Lily and Ben would come back and play with it again. It liked them. They were clever and fun. +Tommy did not like salad. He liked pizza and cake and ice cream. But Mommy said he had to eat some salad before he could have dessert. She put a big bowl of green leaves and red tomatoes and orange carrots on the table. Tommy made a face. + +"Salad is good for you, Tommy," Mommy said. "It has vitamins and minerals that help you grow strong and healthy. Just try a little bit, please." + +Tommy shook his head. He did not want to try. He wanted to resist. He pushed the bowl away and crossed his arms. + +"No, Mommy, no salad. I want cake. Cake is yummy." + +Mommy sighed. She knew Tommy was a picky eater. She had an idea. She took out a new bottle from the cupboard. It was shiny and blue and had a picture of a dinosaur on it. + +"Look, Tommy, this is a new dressing for the salad. It is called Dino Sauce. It makes the salad taste like candy. Do you want to try some?" + +Tommy loved dinosaurs. He was curious about the new dressing. He looked at the bottle and then at the salad. He decided to give it a chance. + +"Okay, Mommy, I will try some. But only a little bit." + +Mommy smiled. She poured some Dino Sauce on Tommy's plate. She gave him a fork and a napkin. Tommy picked up a leaf and dipped it in the sauce. He put it in his mouth and chewed. He was surprised. It was sweet and tangy and fruity. He liked it. He took another bite and then another. He ate all the salad on his plate. + +"Wow, Mommy, this is good. Can I have some more?" + +Mommy was happy. She gave Tommy some more salad and some more Dino Sauce. She watched him eat with a big smile. + +"I'm glad you like it, Tommy. You see, salad is not so bad after all. And you know what? You can have some cake too. You are a good boy." + +Tommy was happy too. He finished his salad and then enjoyed his cake. He thanked Mommy for the new dressing. He learned that sometimes it is good to try new things. He wondered what other foods he could eat with Dino Sauce. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl on the swings. She has long black hair and a red dress. She looks sad. + +"Let's say hello to her," Anna says to Ben. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They walk to the swings and smile at the new girl. Anna waves her hand and says, "Hi, I'm Anna. This is Ben. What's your name?" + +The new girl looks at them and says something. But Anna and Ben do not understand. Her words are different. She speaks another language. + +"Oh," Anna says. "We don't know your language. Do you know ours?" + +The new girl shakes her head. She does not know their language. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for her. They want to be her friend. They think of a way to talk to her. + +They point to themselves and say their names again. Then they point to the new girl and wait for her to say her name. + +The new girl understands. She points to herself and says, "Lila." + +Anna and Ben repeat, "Lila." + +Lila smiles.

He has a big red truck and a loud siren. He wears a yellow hat and a black coat. + +One day, Tom gets a call. There is a fire in a house. Tom and his friends drive to the house. They see smoke and flames. They hear a cat meow. The cat is on the roof. It is scared. + +Tom says, "Don't worry, kitty. I will save you." He gets a ladder and climbs up. He reaches for the cat. The cat jumps into his arms. Tom holds the cat and goes down the ladder. He gives the cat to a girl. The girl is the owner of the cat. She is sad because her house is on fire. She hugs the cat and says, "Thank you, fireman. You are very brave and kind." + +Tom smiles and says, "You're welcome, girl. I'm glad you and your cat are safe." He and his friends put out the fire. They stand in front of the house. They are tired but happy. They did a good job. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play outside at night. They had a toy that could glow. It was a ball that had a light inside. They threw the ball to each other and watched it glow in the dark. + +One night, they decided to play near the road. The road was big and busy. Many cars and trucks went on the road. Tom and Sam did not see the cars and trucks. They only saw their ball. They thought it was fun to make the ball glow on the road. + +But the ball was weak. The light inside was not bright enough. The cars and trucks did not see the ball. They only saw the road. They did not stop for the ball. They went fast on the road. + +Tom threw the ball to Sam.

It looks like a big mirror. Ben and Lily want to touch it. They go near the pond. But their mom says, "No, no, it is not safe. The ice can break. You can fall in the water. The water is very cold. You can get sick. Stay away from the pond." + +Ben and Lily are sad. They want to do something fun. They look around. They see a tree. The tree has no leaves. It is brown and bare.

Why are you fighting over the teddy bear?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Teacher, we both want the teddy bear. It is cute and we like it. But we don't agree on which box it belongs to." + +Their teacher says, "Lily and Ben, the teddy bear is a toy. It can belong to any box. It does not matter if it is a car toy or an animal toy. What matters is that you share and respect each other. Fighting over the teddy bear is not nice. It makes you and the teddy bear sad. Can you say sorry to each other and find a way to share the teddy bear?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They realize that their teacher is right. They say sorry to each other and hug.

Accidents happen. You can help me fix the truck. And maybe you can find another cricket. But next time, be more careful. Crickets are not toys. They are living things. They need to be free." + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We'll be more careful. We love you." + +They hug Mom. They feel better. They go back to the yard. They help Mom fix the truck. They look for another cricket. They play with toys. They have fun. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. It looked muddy and green, and they heard frogs and birds making noises. They wanted to explore the swamp, but their mom said no. + +"Swamp is dangerous," she said. "You can get lost or hurt. Stay away from it." + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They waited until mom was busy, and then they ran to the swamp. They jumped over rocks and logs, and splashed in the water. They saw many lively animals, like turtles, snakes, and bugs. They thought it was fun. + +But soon, they realized they did not know where they were. The swamp was too big and confusing. They tried to find their way back, but they could not. They were scared and sad. They started to cry. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We are lost!" + +Luckily, their mom heard them. She followed their voices, and found them in the swamp. She was angry and worried. + +"What are you doing here?" she asked. "I told you to stay away from the swamp. You could have been hurt or worse. You were very naughty." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. + +"We were curious," they said. "We wanted to see the lively animals. But we did not mean to lose our way. We will never go to the swamp again." + +Mom forgave them, and took them home. She gave them a bath and a hug, and told them a story. She said that the swamp was a special place, but also a dangerous one. She said that they should always listen to her, and not go where they should not. She said that she loved them, and wanted them to be safe and happy. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They never went to the swamp again, but they still liked to play outside. They found other lively things to see and do, and they always listened to their mom. They were good twins. +Lily liked jazz. Jazz was music with many sounds. Lily had a jazz CD that her dad gave her. She played it every day on her pink player. She danced and sang with the jazz. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. They saw a band playing jazz. Lily was happy. She ran to the band and clapped her hands. She wanted to dance with them. But her mom said no. She said they had to go home soon. Lily was sad. She was restless. She did not want to leave the jazz. + +Lily and her mom walked to the bus stop. Lily saw a big poster on the wall. It had a picture of her dad. He was playing a saxophone. He was a jazz star. Lily smiled. She pointed to the poster and said, "Look, mom, it's dad! He plays jazz!" + +Her mom smiled too. She hugged Lily and said, "Yes, he does. He loves jazz. And he loves you. He will be home soon. He is on a tour now. Do you remember what a tour is?" + +Lily nodded. She remembered. A tour was when dad went to many places and played jazz for many people. He sent Lily postcards with pictures of the places. Lily liked the postcards. She kept them in a box. She missed dad. But she was proud of him. + +Lily and her mom got on the bus. They sat by the window. Lily looked at the poster again. She waved to dad. She said, "Bye, dad. See you soon. I love jazz. And I love you." +Lily was an adventurous bunny who loved to bounce. She liked to explore the big garden and find new things to play with. One day, she saw a shiny ball under a bush. She bounced over to it and nudged it with her nose. + +"Hello, ball," she said. "Do you want to bounce with me?" + +The ball did not answer, but it rolled a little bit. Lily thought it was shy, so she pushed it harder with her tail. The ball bounced up and hit her on the head. Lily was surprised and laughed. + +"Wow, you can bounce very high, ball," she said. "Let's bounce together and have fun." + +She bounced after the ball, and the ball bounced away from her. They bounced all over the garden, making Lily happy. She did not see that the ball was bouncing towards the fence, where there was a hole. + +The ball bounced through the hole and out of the garden. Lily tried to follow it, but she was too big to fit through the hole. She stretched her neck and saw the ball bouncing on the road, where there were many cars and noises. + +"Ball, come back!" she cried. "It's not safe out there!" + +But the ball did not hear her. It bounced away, until Lily could not see it anymore. She felt sad and scared. She wanted her ball back, and she wanted to go home. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was her mother, who had been looking for her. + +"Lily, what are you doing here?" her mother asked. "You know you are not allowed to go near the fence." + +Lily turned around and saw her mother's worried face. She felt sorry and hugged her. + +"Mommy, I'm sorry," she said. "I was bouncing with a ball, but it went away. I wanted to get it back, but I couldn't." + +Her mother stroked her fur and kissed her. + +"It's okay, Lily," she said. "I'm glad you are safe. The ball was not yours, anyway. It belonged to the boy next door. He must have lost it. Maybe he will find it again, or maybe he will get a new one. But you have many other toys to play with, and you have me. Come on, let's go back to the house and have some carrots." + +Lily nodded and followed her mother. She still missed the ball, but she was happy to have her mother. She decided to be more careful next time, and not to bounce too far away. She learned that being adventurous was fun, but being safe was important, too. +Sara was upset. It was her birthday, but she had no friends to play with. Her mom and dad had to work, and her big sister was at school. She only had her teddy bear to hug. + +She looked at the big present on the table. It was wrapped in shiny paper and had a bow on top. She wanted to open it, but her mom said she had to wait until they came home. Sara sighed. She was bored and lonely. + +She decided to go outside and play in the yard. Maybe she would find some bugs or flowers. She put on her shoes and coat and took her teddy bear with her. She opened the door and saw a big surprise. + +There was a car in the driveway, and a girl with curly hair and a smile got out. She was holding a small present and a balloon. She ran to Sara and gave her a hug. + +"Happy birthday, Sara!" she said. "I'm Lily, your new neighbor. I just moved in next door. I heard it was your special day, so I brought you a gift. Do you want to be friends?" + +Sara was so happy. She smiled and nodded. She took the present and the balloon and thanked Lily. She invited her to come inside and play with her toys. She forgot about the big present on the table. She had a new friend, and that was the best present of all. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a book. She liked to share them with her friends, but she also liked to keep them safe. She knew they belonged to her and she was happy. + +One day, it was Lily's birthday. She was very excited. She wore a pretty dress and a big bow. She had a cake with candles and balloons. She also had a lot of presents. She opened them one by one and said thank you. She got a puzzle, a hat, a crayon and a car. She liked them all, but she liked the car the most. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. She wanted to play with it right away. + +She took the car to the garden and drove it on the grass. She made vroom-vroom noises and smiled. She saw a big dog on the other side of the fence. The dog was black and furry and had a loud bark. Lily was not afraid of dogs, but this one looked mean. It saw Lily and her car and growled. It jumped over the fence and ran towards her. It wanted to take her car. + +Lily was scared, but she was also brave. She did not want to lose her car. It was her present and it belonged to her. She picked up the car and held it tight. She shouted at the dog and said no. She waved her arms and stamped her feet. She hoped the dog would go away. + +The dog was surprised by Lily's noise and courage. It stopped and looked at her. It saw that she was not a threat, but a friend. It wagged its tail and licked its lips. It did not want to hurt her or her car. It just wanted to play. It barked softly and nudged her with its nose. It wanted to say sorry. + +Lily saw that the dog was not mean, but friendly. She felt sorry for it too. She wondered if it had a home or a toy. She decided to share her car with it. She put the car on the ground and pushed it towards the dog. She said yes and smiled. She wanted to say hello. + +The dog was happy and grateful. It sniffed the car and nudged it back to Lily. It said thank you and smiled. It wanted to say hello too. + +Lily and the dog became friends. They played with the car and had fun. They belonged together. They were brave and kind. They were happy. +One day, a little pig and a little duck were playing in the farm. They saw a big red barn and wanted to see what was inside. The little pig said, "I dare you to go in the barn. Maybe there are some yummy things to eat." The little duck said, "I dare you to go first. Maybe there are some scary things to hide." They both looked at each other and decided to go together. + +They walked slowly to the barn and pushed the door open. It was dark and quiet inside. They saw some hay, some tools, some buckets and some boxes. They also saw a big tractor that looked like a monster. The little pig and the little duck were afraid and wanted to run away. But then they heard a voice. + +"Hello, who is there?" It was the farmer. He was working on the tractor and did not see them. The little pig and the little duck did not know what to do. They hid behind a box and hoped he would not find them. The farmer said, "Don't be shy, come out and say hello. I won't hurt you. I am a gentle farmer and I love all my animals." + +The little pig and the little duck peeked out from behind the box and saw the farmer smiling at them. He had a kind face and a friendly voice. He said, "You must be the new pig and the new duck that I bought yesterday. I am sorry I did not introduce myself. My name is Bob and this is my barn. You can come here anytime you want and play with the other animals. But be careful not to touch the tractor, it is very loud and dangerous." + +The little pig and the little duck felt relieved and happy. They came out from behind the box and said, "Hello, Bob. We are sorry we came in without asking. We were curious and we dared each other. We are glad you are a gentle farmer and you love us. Our names are Pinky and Quacky and we are your new friends." + +Bob laughed and said, "That's okay, Pinky and Quacky. I am glad you are my new friends too. Come on, let me show you around the barn and introduce you to the other animals. They are all very nice and gentle too. You will have a lot of fun here." He took them by the hand and led them to the barn. The little pig and the little duck followed him and felt very happy. They had found a new home and a new friend. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they also liked to tease each other. One day, Tom found a big wrap in the closet. He thought it was a present for him. He wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Hey, Lily, look what I found!" he shouted. "It's a big wrap for me!" + +Lily ran to the closet and saw the wrap. She was curious too. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"No, it's not for you, it's for me!" she said. "Give it to me!" + +Tom and Lily started to pull the wrap from each other. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their dog, Spot, coming to the closet. They only wanted the wrap. + +Spot was a naughty dog. He liked to chew on things. He saw the wrap and thought it was a toy. He jumped on it and bit it. He tore it apart and made a big mess. + +Tom and Lily stopped pulling the wrap. They looked at Spot and the mess. They were shocked. They saw what was inside the wrap. It was a beautiful doll for Lily and a cool car for Tom. It was a surprise from their mom and dad. But now the doll and the car were broken and dirty. + +"Spot, bad dog!" they yelled. "You ruined our present!" + +They started to cry. They heard their mom coming to the closet. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had not teased each other. They wished they had shared the wrap. They felt very lonely and sad. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play pretend games. One day, they decided to play cops and robbers. Lily was the cop and Sam was the robber. + +"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Lily shouted, holding a toy gun. + +"No, you can't catch me!" Sam said, running away. + +Lily chased Sam around the yard. She was fast and smart. She cornered Sam behind a tree. + +"Ha, I got you!" Lily said, pointing the toy gun at Sam. + +"OK, OK, you win. I give up," Sam said, putting his hands up. + +Lily smiled. She was a good cop. She had caught the bad robber. + +"Now, you have to promise me something," Lily said. + +"What is it?" Sam asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will always be my friend, even if we play different games," Lily said. + +Sam nodded. He liked Lily a lot. She was his best friend. + +"I promise, Lily. You are my best friend, even if we play different games," Sam said. + +They hugged each other. They were happy. They were famous cops and robbers. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in the house. One day, they find a big iron in the closet. It is shiny and heavy. + +"Look, Tom, a big iron!" Sue says. "Let's play with it!" + +"No, Sue, that is not a toy. It is hot and can hurt us." Tom says. "We should not touch it." + +But Sue does not listen. She takes the iron and puts it on the floor. She finds a cloth and covers the iron with it. She pretends it is a cake. + +"Yum, yum, a cake!" Sue says. "Do you want some, Tom?" + +Tom shakes his head. He is scared. He sees smoke coming out of the cloth. He smells something burning. + +"Sue, stop! The iron is too hot! It is making fire!" Tom says. He runs to the kitchen and calls for Mom. + +Mom is busy making lunch. She hears Tom and comes to the closet. She sees the fire and the iron. She is angry and scared. + +"Sue, Tom, what have you done? This is very dangerous!" Mom says. She takes the iron and the cloth and puts them in the sink. She turns on the water and puts out the fire. + +She hugs Tom and Sue and makes sure they are not hurt. She tells them to never play with the iron again. She explains that the iron is for making clothes smooth, not for making cakes. + +Tom and Sue are sorry. They say they are sorry to Mom. They promise to be careful and listen to Mom. They help Mom clean the mess. They learn a lesson. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They can run, jump, slide and swing.

They think it is fun. + +They run to the tent. They see a sign. It says: "Youth Circus". They do not know what that means. They see a man at the door. He wears a red hat and a yellow coat. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to see the show?" he asks. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are curious. + +"OK, but you have to listen to me. The show is about to start. You have to sit quietly and watch. Do not touch anything. Do not make noise. Do you understand?" he says. + +Anna and Ben nod again. They are obedient. + +"Good. Come with me. I will show you your seats." he says. + +He takes them by the hand. He leads them to the tent. He gives them two tickets. He points to some chairs. They are near the stage. + +"Sit here.

They are proud of how they can talk. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is the phone. It is ringing. It is dad. He is calling. Lily and Ben are scared. They do not know what to do. They do not want dad to know they took his phone. + +They hide the phone under the pillow. They hope dad will not hear them. They hold their breath. They feel their lungs fill with air. They feel guilty. They know they did something bad. + +Dad hears the phone ring. He wonders why no one answers. He thinks maybe Lily and Ben are sleeping. He leaves a message.

The dog is black and has sharp teeth. The woman is fearful of the dog. She holds her son's hand and walks away. + +"Mommy, why are you scared?" the son asks. + +"I don't like big dogs. They can bite and hurt us," the woman says. + +"But the dog is nice. He is wagging his tail. He wants to play," the son says. + +The woman shakes her head. "No, we don't know the dog.

The man is the dog's owner. + +"Hello, do you want to say hi to my dog? His name is Rex. He is very friendly and gentle," the man says. + +The woman is nervous. She does not trust the man or the dog. She pulls her son closer to her. + +"Thank you, but no. We have to go now. Come on, honey, let's go home," the woman says. + +The son is disappointed. He waves to the dog and the man.

They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to gather flowers and make crowns for their dolls. They were very happy. + +One day, they saw a big cross on the grass. It was pink and shiny. Sara and Lily ran to the cross. They wanted to touch it and see what it was. They did not look for cars or bikes on the road. They did not listen to their moms who told them to be careful. + +A car was coming fast. It did not see Sara and Lily. It honked loudly. Sara and Lily were scared.

But they never ran to the pink cross again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the backyard. They had a big box of toys and they liked to make things with them. Tom had a hammer and some nails. Lily had some paint and a brush. + +"Look, I made a house for my doll," Lily said, showing Tom her toy. "It has a door and a window and a roof." + +"That's nice," Tom said, "but I can make a better house. Watch me."

Go away." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't like Tom's words. She wanted to play with him and share their toys. She thought of a way to make him happy. She picked up her paint and her brush and walked towards Tom. + +"Tom, I have a surprise for you," she said, smiling. + +"What is it?"

Then she painted a red heart on his face with her brush. + +"There, now you are my friend," she said. + +Tom felt a wet and sticky thing on his face.

She had a computer in her room that her dad gave her. She could play games, watch videos and draw pictures on the computer. She always asked her dad before she used the computer, because he taught her to be obedient. + +One day, Lily wanted to learn how to write her name on the computer. She asked her dad if she could use the computer, and he said yes. He showed her how to open a program where she could type letters. He helped her find the keys that had the letters of her name: L, I, L and Y. + +"Can you write your name, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily tried to press the keys, but she was not very good at it. She pressed the wrong keys, or pressed them too many times, or pressed them too hard. The computer made funny noises and showed strange symbols on the screen. + +Lily was frustrated and sad. She wanted to write her name, but she could not do it. She started to cry. + +"It's okay, Lily," her dad said. "You don't have to cry. Writing on the computer is hard. You have to practice and learn. You are a smart girl, and you can do it. Do you want to try again?" + +Lily nodded. She wiped her tears and looked at the screen. She saw her dad's name: DAD. She smiled. + +"I want to write DAD," she said. + +"Okay, let's write DAD," her dad said. "Can you find the key that has the letter D?" + +Lily looked at the keyboard and found the key. She pressed it gently. The letter D appeared on the screen. + +"Good job, Lily!" her dad said. "You wrote the letter D. Can you write it again?" + +Lily pressed the key again. Another D appeared on the screen. + +"Very good, Lily!" her dad said. "You wrote two Ds. Now, can you find the key that has the letter A?" + +Lily looked at the keyboard and found the key. She pressed it gently. The letter A appeared on the screen. + +"Wow, Lily!" her dad said. "You wrote DAD. You wrote your dad's name. I'm so proud of you!" + +Lily was happy and proud. She wrote her dad's name on the computer. She learned how to write on the computer. She hugged her dad and said, "I love you, dad." + +"I love you too, Lily," her dad said. "You are a good girl who likes to learn new things. And you are very obedient. You always ask me before you use the computer. Thank you, Lily." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They played more games and watched more videos on the computer. They had fun and learned new things together. +Tim and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to count how many animals they saw in each cage. Tim was good at counting, but Lily was still learning. + +"Look, Lily, there are four giraffes!" Tim said, pointing at the tall animals with long necks. + +"Four?" Lily asked, holding up her fingers. "One, two, three, four?" + +"Yes, good job, Lily!" Tim said, smiling. "You are getting better at counting!" + +They walked to the next cage, where they saw some colorful birds. Tim counted them quickly. + +"There are six birds!" he said, proud of himself. + +"Six?" Lily repeated, trying to count them too. But the birds were flying and moving around, and Lily got confused. She could not count them all. + +"I can't do it, Tim!" she said, feeling sad. "The birds are too fast!" + +Tim saw that his sister was nervous and unhappy. He wanted to help her. + +"Don't worry, Lily," he said, hugging her. "Counting is hard sometimes, but you can do it. You just need to practice more. And I will always help you if you need me." + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She felt better, knowing that her brother was kind and caring. + +"Thank you, Tim," she said. "You are the best brother ever!" + +Mom heard their conversation and smiled too. She was happy that her children were learning and loving each other. + +The moral of the story is: Counting is a useful skill, but being supportive and compassionate is more important. +One day, a big wind came to the farm where Tom and his family lived. It was a tornado, and it made a loud noise like a train. Tom was scared, and he ran to the cellar with his mom and dad. They closed the door and waited for the wind to stop. + +"Will the tornado hurt our house and our animals?" Tom asked his mom. + +"I hope not, my dear," his mom said. "But we have to be humble and trust God. He loves us and he will take care of us." + +Tom hugged his mom and prayed with her. He hoped that the tornado would go away soon, and that his home and his friends would be safe. + +After a while, the noise became quieter, and then it stopped. Tom's dad opened the door and looked outside. He saw that the tornado had moved away, and that their house and their barn were still standing. He also saw that their cows and their chickens and their dog were all fine. + +"Thank God, we are safe!" he said. "Come on, let's go and check on our neighbors. Maybe they need our help." + +Tom and his mom followed his dad outside. They were happy and grateful that they had survived the tornado. They hoped that their neighbors were also okay, and that they could help them if they needed. They were humble and kind, and they thanked God for his protection. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. One day, they found a big box of old clothes and hats in the attic. They tried on different outfits and pretended to be different people. Lily put on a long coat and a hat with a feather. Ben put on a suit and a tie and a hat with a brim. + +"I am a queen and you are my guard," Lily said. "You have to march with me and protect me from bad guys." + +"OK, I will march with you, your majesty," Ben said. He looked around and saw a shiny thing on a shelf. It was a razor that their dad used to shave his beard. Ben thought it looked like a sword. He took it and put it in his pocket. + +They marched down the stairs and into the living room. They saw their mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. She looked up and smiled. + +"Wow, you two look very fancy," she said. "What are you playing?" + +"We are a queen and a guard," Lily said. "We are going to the park to have a picnic." + +"That sounds fun," their mom said. "But be careful with your hats. It's very windy outside. You don't want to lose them." + +They nodded and marched out the door. They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. They spread a blanket and took out some sandwiches and juice. They ate and talked and laughed. + +Suddenly, a gust of wind blew Lily's hat off her head. It flew away, over the fence and into the street. Lily gasped and ran after it. + +"Wait, Lily, don't go!" Ben shouted. He saw a car coming fast. He was scared. He ran after Lily, too. He reached into his pocket and took out the razor. He threw it at the car, hoping to stop it. + +But the razor was not a sword. It was light and small. It did not hit the car. It hit the hat. It cut the feather in half. The hat fell to the ground.

But only after you finish your lunch," Grandma said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They ran to the kitchen. They hoped there were no prunes in their lunch. +Sara was eager to play with her new toy. It was a doll that could talk and sing. She pressed a button on the doll's ear and heard a voice say, "Hello, I'm Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara smiled and hugged the doll. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are so pretty and nice." + +She took the doll to her room and played with her for a long time. She dressed her, combed her hair, and sang along with her. She was very happy. + +But then, her brother Tom came in. He was bored and wanted to play too. He saw the doll and grabbed it from Sara. He said, "This is a baby toy. I want to see what it can do." + +He pressed the button on the doll's ear, but nothing happened. He pressed it harder and harder, until he broke it. The doll stopped talking and singing. It only made a sad noise. + +Sara was very angry and sad. She cried and said, "Tom, you are mean! You broke my doll! Give it back to me!" + +Tom felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to break the doll. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was just curious. Here, take your doll." + +He gave the doll back to Sara, but she did not stop crying. She hugged the doll and said, "Lily, please talk to me. Please sing to me. I love you." + +But the doll did not answer. It was broken. + +Sara's mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Sara crying and Tom looking guilty. She asked, "What happened here?" + +Tom told her the truth. He said, "I broke Sara's doll. I was playing with it and I pressed the button too hard. I'm sorry." + +Sara's mom was not happy. She said, "Tom, you should not take things that are not yours. You should respect Sara's toys and feelings. You should apologize to her and help her fix the doll." + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. Can I help you fix the doll?" + +Sara looked at him and saw that he was sincere. She wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be careful next time. And you have to share your toys with me too." + +Tom smiled and said, "Deal. I will share my toys with you. And I will help you fix the doll. Maybe we can find a new button for her ear." + +Sara's mom smiled too. She said, "That's very nice of you, Tom. And Sara, you are very kind to forgive your brother. I'm proud of both of you. Now, let's go and see what we can do for Lily." + +They all went to the kitchen and looked for a new button for the doll's ear. They found one that matched and sewed it on. They pressed it and heard the doll say, "Hello, I'm Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara and Tom cheered and hugged the doll. They said, "Yes, we want to be your friend. You are so pretty and nice." + +They played with the doll together and had fun. They learned to be respectful, forgiving, and sharing. They were happy. +Sara and Ben like to play at the beach. They gather shells and rocks and make a big pile. They also watch the surf and the birds and the boats. Sometimes they see unusual things in the water, like fish or crabs or seaweed. + +One day, they see something very unusual. It is big and round and shiny. It looks like a ball, but it is not a ball. It is floating on the surf and making a funny noise. Sara and Ben are curious and want to see it better. + +"Let's go closer," Sara says. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. + +They walk slowly to the water and look at the shiny thing. It is not a ball, it is a balloon. It has a string and a tag. The tag says "Happy Birthday, Lily!" + +"Wow, it is a balloon!" Sara says. + +"Maybe it flew away from a party," Ben says. + +"Maybe we can keep it," Sara says. + +They reach for the string, but the surf is too strong. It pulls the balloon away from them and takes it to the sea. Sara and Ben are sad and disappointed. + +"Bye, balloon," Sara says. + +"Maybe Lily will find it," Ben says. + +They go back to their pile of shells and rocks and play some more. They hope Lily will have a happy birthday. They also hope to see more unusual things at the beach. +Tim and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes they saw big boats on the sea. They were called yachts. Tim and Mia wanted to go on a yacht one day. + +"Look, there is a yacht!" Tim said, pointing to a white boat with a tall sail. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "I wonder who is on it. Maybe they are having fun." + +They ran to the edge of the water and tried to observe the yacht. They saw some people on the deck. They waved to them. One of the people waved back. He had a hat and a beard. + +"Hello!" he shouted. "Do you like my yacht?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tim and Mia shouted back. "It is very nice!" + +"Thank you!" the man said. "Do you want to come and see it?" + +Tim and Mia looked at their mom and dad. They nodded and smiled. + +"Okay!" Tim and Mia said. "We want to see it!" + +The man lowered a small boat from the yacht. He rowed to the shore and helped Tim and Mia get in. He gave them life jackets and told them to hold on. He rowed back to the yacht and tied the small boat to it. He lifted Tim and Mia onto the deck. + +"Welcome to my yacht!" he said. "My name is Ben. This is my wife, Anna, and this is my dog, Spot." + +"Hello, Ben, Anna, and Spot!" Tim and Mia said. "We are Tim and Mia. This is our mom and dad. They are on the beach." + +"Nice to meet you, Tim and Mia!" Anna said. "We are happy to have you here. Do you want to see the yacht?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Mia said. + +Ben and Anna showed them around the yacht. They saw the sail, the wheel, the cabin, the kitchen, the beds, and the bathroom. They saw many useful things on the yacht, like a radio, a map, a compass, a flashlight, and a first aid kit. They also saw some fun things, like a guitar, a chess board, a telescope, and a fishing rod. + +"This is amazing!" Tim said. + +"This is awesome!" Mia said. + +They played with Spot and sang songs with Ben and Anna. They observed the sea and the sky with the telescope. They learned some new words and facts about yachts and sailing. They had a lot of fun. + +After a while, they heard their mom and dad calling them. They looked at the beach and saw them waving. + +"It is time to go!" Tim and Mia said. + +"Thank you for showing us your yacht!" Tim said. + +"Thank you for being our friends!" Mia said. + +"You are very welcome!" Ben and Anna said. "We enjoyed having you here. Come back anytime!" + +They hugged and said goodbye. Ben helped them get back into the small boat and rowed them to the shore. They gave back the life jackets and thanked Ben again. They ran to their mom and dad and told them all about their adventure. + +"That sounds wonderful!" their mom and dad said. "We are glad you had fun!" + +They packed their things and left the beach. They waved to Ben, Anna, and Spot one last time. They saw them waving back from the yacht. + +Tim and Mia smiled. They had made new friends and learned new things. They had a great day. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toy guns in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were spies on a mission. They hid behind the bushes and the fence and made noises like "pew pew pew" and "bang bang bang". + +"Look, there's the exit!" Mia said, pointing to the gate. "We have to shoot the bad guys and escape!" + +"OK, let's go!" Ben said, excited. He ran towards the gate, holding his toy gun. But he did not see the big dog that was sleeping next to the gate. The dog woke up and saw Ben running. It barked loudly and chased Ben. + +"Help, help!" Ben shouted, scared. He dropped his toy gun and ran back to Mia. The dog followed him, still barking. + +"Mia, what do we do?" Ben asked, crying. + +"Don't worry, Ben, I have an idea!" Mia said, brave. She picked up Ben's toy gun and aimed at the dog. She made a loud noise like "boom boom boom". The dog was surprised and stopped barking. It looked at Mia and wagged its tail. It thought Mia was playing with it. + +"Good dog, good dog!" Mia said, smiling. She threw the toy gun over the fence and the dog ran after it. Mia and Ben hugged each other and laughed. + +"We did it, we did it!" they said, happy. They ran to the exit and opened the gate. They saw their mom waiting for them with a big smile. + +"Hi, kids, did you have fun?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, we had a lot of fun!" they said. They told her their story and she hugged them and kissed them. + +"You are very brave and smart, my little spies!" she said, proud. "Now, let's go inside and have some cookies!" +Timmy did not like his tutor. She was always telling him to do hard things, like read and write and count. She was not fun like his mom and dad, who played with him and gave him hugs and snacks. Timmy wanted his tutor to go away. + +One day, Timmy had a plan. He saw a huge book on the shelf. It had many pages and pictures and words. Timmy thought it was his tutor's book, because she always had books with her. Timmy decided to tear the book and make a mess. He thought his tutor would be angry and leave. + +He took the book and ran to his room. He ripped the pages and threw them in the air. He laughed and shouted, "Bye bye, tutor! Bye bye, book!" He felt happy and free. + +But then, he heard a knock on the door. It was his mom. She looked very sad and mad. She said, "Timmy, what have you done? This is not your tutor's book. This is your dad's book. He loves this book very much. He got it from his grandpa, who is not here anymore. This book is very old and special. You cannot tear it. You have to be sorry and say sorry." + +Timmy felt very bad and scared. He did not know it was his dad's book. He did not want to make his mom and dad sad and mad. He did not want to lose his grandpa's book. He wished he did not tear the book. He wished he was nice to his tutor. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I am very sorry. I did not know. I did not mean to. Please don't be sad and mad. Please don't take me away." + +But his mom did not hug him or smile. She said, "Timmy, you have to go to your tutor now. She will help you learn and be good. You have to listen to her and do what she says. You have to work hard and be sorry. Maybe one day, your dad will forgive you. But not today. Today, you have to go." + +She took him by the hand and led him to the door. Timmy saw his tutor waiting for him. She looked very stern and serious. She said, "Timmy, we have a lot to do today. You have to read and write and count and say sorry. You have to be good and respectful and careful. You have to learn from your mistake. Do you understand?" + +Timmy nodded and cried. He did not want to go with his tutor. He wanted to stay with his mom and dad. He wanted to hug them and say sorry and make them happy. He wanted to fix the book and keep it safe. He wanted to be good and have fun. But he could not. He had to go. He had to go and learn and be sorry. He had to go and face his bad ending. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big maze made of tall green plants. They wanted to explore it and find the way out. + +"Let's go in, Lily!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, Tom, but we have to be careful. We don't want to get lost," Lily said. She was more wise than Tom and always thought before she did things. + +They entered the maze and walked along the paths. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They turned left and right and left again. They had fun, but they also felt a little scared. They did not know where they were. + +"Tom, I think we should go back. It's getting late and Mom will be worried," Lily said. + +"But how do we go back, Lily? We don't remember the way," Tom said. + +They looked around and saw a sign that said "Change". It pointed to a small door in the wall of the maze. + +"Maybe that door will help us, Tom. Maybe it will change the maze and show us the way out," Lily said. + +"Let's try it, Lily. Maybe you are right," Tom said. + +They opened the door and went through it. They saw a different part of the maze, with different plants and animals. They also saw another sign that said "Change". It pointed to another door. + +They followed the signs and the doors, hoping to find the exit. They changed the maze many times, but they did not see the end. + +They started to cry. They were tired and hungry and scared. They wanted to go home. + +"Tom, Lily, where are you?" They heard a voice. It was Mom. She had come to look for them. + +"Mom, Mom, we are here!" They shouted. They ran to the sound of her voice. They saw her at the last door. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We went into the maze and we got lost. We tried to change the maze, but we couldn't find the way out," Lily said. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to have fun, but we were not wise. We should have listened to you and stayed close to you," Tom said. + +Mom smiled and said, "It's OK, my loves. I'm glad you are safe. The maze is not a real maze. It's a magic maze. It changes every time you go through a door. It's a game for big kids and grown-ups. You are too little to play it. Next time, you can play in the sandbox or the swing. They are more fun for you." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We love you. Thank you for finding us." + +Mom took them by the hand and led them out of the maze. They went home and had dinner and a bath and a story. They learned their lesson and never went into the maze again. They were happy and wise. +Tom and Lily are playing with blocks. They want to see who can make the tallest tower. They take turns to add one block at a time. They count the blocks as they go. + +"One, two, three, four, five," Tom says, putting a blue block on top of his tower. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six," Lily says, putting a red block on top of her tower. + +"Wow, your tower is taller than mine," Tom says. He looks at Lily's tower and sees a yellow block at the bottom. He has an idea. He reaches for the yellow block and pulls it out. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily says, as her tower falls down. "You cheated!" + +Tom feels guilty. He knows he did a bad thing. He looks at Lily and sees her sad face. He says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I wanted to win, but I should not have taken your block. Can we play again?" + +Lily is still upset, but she forgives Tom. She says yes. + +"OK, let's play again. But this time, no cheating. And let's count together, OK?" + +"OK, let's count together. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven," they say, as they start to build their towers again. They smile and have fun. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a huge sign in the park. The sign has many colors and pictures. It says: "Come to the circus!" + +Lila and Tom are excited. They want to go to the circus. They run to the sign and look at it. + +"Wow, look at the clown!" Lila says. "He has a big red nose and funny hair." + +"And look at the elephant!" Tom says. "He has a long trunk and big ears." + +They see other animals and people on the sign. They see a lion, a monkey, a horse, a juggler, and a lady on a bike. + +The sign also says: "The circus will rise tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Buy your tickets now!" + +Lila and Tom look at each other. They have a problem. They do not have money to buy tickets. They are sad. + +They go to Lila's mom, who is sitting on a bench. They tell her about the circus and the sign. They ask her if they can go. + +Lila's mom smiles. She has a surprise for them. She takes out two tickets from her bag. She says: "I bought these tickets for you yesterday. I knew you would like the circus. We can go tomorrow and see all the fun things." + +Lila and Tom are happy. They hug Lila's mom and thank her. They can't wait for tomorrow. They want to see the circus rise. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pole with a swing on it. Lily wanted to try the swing, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. "You just sit on the swing and hold the rope. Then you go up and down, up and down." + +"No, no, no!" Ben said. "The pole is too high. The swing is too fast. I might fall and hurt myself. I don't want to swing." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Ben, but he was too worried. She tried to make him feel better. + +"Ben, don't worry. I will help you. I will push you gently. You will be safe. You will like the swing. Please, try it with me." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was kind and brave. He wanted to be kind and brave too. He decided to try the swing. + +"Okay, Lily, I will try it. But don't push me too hard. And don't let go of me." + +Lily smiled. She helped Ben sit on the swing and hold the rope. She pushed him gently. Ben felt the wind on his face. He felt the swing go up and down, up and down. He felt happy. + +"Lily, this is fun!" Ben said. "Thank you for helping me. I'm not scared anymore. I like the swing." + +Lily was happy too. She was glad that Ben tried the swing. She was proud of him. They swung together and laughed. + +The moral of the story is: Don't let your worries stop you from trying new things. You might discover that they are fun and rewarding. And you can always ask a friend to help you. +Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys on the couch. One day, they are playing with their cars and dolls when they hear their mom call them. + +"Tom, Anna, come to the kitchen! It's time for lunch!" mom says. + +Tom and Anna are hungry. They want to eat. But they also want to play. They look at each other. + +"Can we play a little more?" Tom asks. + +"No, you have to come now. Lunch is ready and it will get cold." mom says. + +Tom and Anna sigh. They put their toys away and get off the couch. They walk to the kitchen. Mom has made them sandwiches and juice. They sit at the table and eat. + +"Thank you, mom. This is yummy." Anna says. + +"You're welcome, sweetie. I'm glad you like it." mom says. + +"Mom, can we tell you a story?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, what kind of story?" mom says. + +"A story about our toys. They have adventures on the couch." Tom says. + +"Okay, I'd love to hear it. Tell me your story." mom says. + +Tom and Anna smile. They take turns telling mom their story. They use their imagination and make mom laugh. Mom listens and enjoys their story. She is happy to see them have fun. She hugs them and tells them she loves them. They hug her back and tell her they love her too. They finish their lunch and go back to the couch. They play some more with their toys. They are happy. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on rocks, and on her face. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, Lily saw a big truck outside. It was red and shiny. It had a long side with many doors. Lily wanted to paint on the truck. She thought it would look pretty. + +She took her paints and brushes and ran to the truck. She opened one door and climbed inside. She saw many things. She saw a wheel, a seat, a radio, and a horn. She painted on them all. She used blue, green, yellow, and pink. She made dots, stripes, swirls, and stars. She was happy when she painted. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was the horn. She had pressed it by mistake. She was scared. She jumped out of the door. She saw a man. He was angry. He was the driver of the truck. He saw Lily and her paints. He saw his truck and his things. He was not happy. + +He shouted at Lily. He said she was bad. He said she had to go away. He said he had to clean his truck and his things. He said he did not like her paints. He was very angry. + +Lily was sad. She did not mean to be bad. She liked to paint. She thought the truck would look pretty. She ran to her house. She cried. She wanted to paint. But she did not want to make anyone angry. She did not know what to do. She was very sad. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to throw balls and catch them. They had a red ball and a blue ball. + +One day, they saw a big bench near the trees. It was brown and had four legs. Ben had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's throw the balls over the bench and see who can catch them." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She took the red ball and threw it over the bench. Ben ran to the other side and caught it. He said, "Good throw, Lily!" He threw the blue ball back to her. + +Lily tried to catch the blue ball, but it was too high. It flew over her head and landed in the bushes. Lily said, "Oh no, where is the blue ball?" She looked around, but she could not see it. + +Ben came to help her. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will find the blue ball." They searched in the bushes, but they could not find it. They felt sad and worried. They liked the blue ball. + +Then, they heard a voice. It said, "Are you looking for this?" They turned around and saw a man holding the blue ball. He was sitting on the bench. He smiled and said, "I saw your ball fly over the bench and land in the bushes. I picked it up for you. Here you go." + +Ben and Lily ran to the man and took the blue ball. They said, "Thank you, thank you, mister!" They were happy and relieved. They hugged the blue ball and each other. + +The man said, "You're welcome, kids. You have a nice ball. Be careful when you throw it, okay?" He winked and waved at them. + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, we will. Bye, mister!" They ran back to their game. They threw the balls over the bench and caught them. They had fun and laughed. They were not worried anymore. +Mia and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Mia has white paper and Ben has yellow paper. + +"Look, I made a star!" Mia says, showing her paper to Ben. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Ben says. "I made a snake!" He holds up his paper and makes a hissing sound. + +Mia laughs. She thinks Ben's snake is funny. She wants to make a snake too. She cuts a long strip from her paper and twists it. + +"Look, I made a snake too!" Mia says. "But mine is white!" + +Ben laughs. He thinks Mia's snake is silly. He wants to make a star too. He cuts a big square from his paper and folds it. + +"Look, I made a star too!" Ben says. "But mine is yellow!" + +Mia and Ben laugh together. They think their stars and snakes are both nice. They trade their paper and scissors and make more shapes. They have fun playing with paper and scissors. +Tom liked to play dress-up with his big sister, Amy. She had many clothes and hats and shoes that he could try on. One day, Amy said, "Let's play a game. I will give you a vest and you have to change it into something else. You can use anything you find in the room." + +Tom was excited. He loved games. He put on the vest. It was red and soft and had buttons. He looked at the room and saw many things. He saw a pillow, a scarf, a belt, a book, and a toy car. + +He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea. He took the pillow and put it under the vest. He took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck. He took the belt and tied it around his waist. He took the book and held it in his hand. He took the toy car and put it on his head. + +He said, "Look, Amy! I changed the vest into a king!" + +Amy looked at him and laughed. She said, "That's very impressive, Tom! You are a very clever king. But what is the car for?" + +Tom said, "It's my crown, of course. It makes me go fast and beep beep!" + +Amy said, "Oh, I see. Well, you are the best king I ever saw. Do you want to play some more?" + +Tom said, "Yes, please! This is fun!" +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big, old house with many windows and doors. Mom said it was an ancient house, and people lived there a long time ago. + +Lily and Tom wanted to see inside the house, but the door was locked. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They saw a window that was open a little bit. They guessed they could climb up and peek inside. + +They found a big rock and a wooden plank. They put the plank on the rock and made a ramp. They took turns to climb up the ramp and look through the window. They saw many things inside the house: books, paintings, furniture, and toys. They wondered who owned them and what stories they could tell. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. It was going to rain. They quickly got down from the ramp and ran to their mom. She had an umbrella and a picnic basket. She said they could have lunch under a big tree and wait for the rain to stop. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They liked the ancient house, but they liked their mom more. They guessed they could come back another day and see more of the house. They hoped the rain would not ruin the things inside. They ate their sandwiches and cookies and listened to the rain. They felt cozy and safe under the tree. +Lily liked hippos. She had a toy hippo that she hugged every night. She wanted to see a real hippo at the zoo. She asked her mom to take her there. + +Mom said yes. They went to the zoo. Lily was happy. She saw many animals. She saw lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But she did not see a hippo. She asked mom where the hippo was. + +Mom said the zoo did not have a hippo. They were too big and too expensive. Lily was sad. She wanted a hippo. She saw a man selling balloons. She had an idea. She asked mom to buy her a balloon. + +Mom said yes. She gave Lily some money. Lily went to the man. She saw a balloon that looked like a hippo. It was purple and round. It had a big mouth and small ears. Lily liked it. She gave the man the money. He gave her the balloon. + +Lily was happy. She had a hippo. She hugged the balloon. She said thank you to the man. She ran back to mom. She showed her the balloon. Mom smiled. She said it was a nice balloon. + +Lily wanted to play with the balloon. She let go of the string. She wanted to see the balloon fly. She thought the balloon was gentle. She thought it would stay with her. She was wrong. + +The balloon flew away. It went up and up. It went to the sky. Lily could not catch it. She could not reach it. She cried. She lost her hippo. She was sad. Mom hugged her. She said she was sorry. She said they would find another hippo. But Lily did not believe her. She did not want another hippo. She wanted her balloon. She wanted her hippo. She did not have a hippo. She had nothing. The end. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys in the pool. They have many toys: balls, ducks, boats, and fish. They throw the toys in the water and watch them float and sink. Sometimes they splash each other and laugh. + +One day, Sara has a new toy. It is a small star that can light up. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, Ben, I have a star. It is very pretty and shiny. Do you want to see it in the pool?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, Sara, I want to see it. Can I hold it?" + +Sara gives the star to Ben and says, "Be careful, Ben. It is small and fragile. Do not drop it or break it." + +Ben takes the star and says, "I will be careful, Sara. I will not drop it or break it." He holds the star in his hand and looks at it. It is very pretty and shiny. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Sara. This is a nice star." + +Sara smiles and says, "You are welcome, Ben. Let's put it in the pool and see how it looks." + +They walk to the pool and Ben lowers the star into the water. The star lights up and makes the water glow. Sara and Ben say, "Wow, that is beautiful!" + +They watch the star in the pool and play with it. They move it around and make patterns. They have fun and forget about the other toys. + +But then, a big wind comes and blows the toys out of the pool. The toys scatter on the ground and make a mess. Sara and Ben do not notice. They are too busy with the star. + +The wind also makes the water move and splash. The star bobs up and down and goes away from Sara and Ben. They do not see it. They are too happy with the star. + +The star drifts to the edge of the pool and hits a rock. The rock is sharp and hard. It cuts the star and makes it break. The star stops lighting up and sinks to the bottom of the pool. It is dark and sad. + +Sara and Ben finally look up and see the toys on the ground. They say, "Oh no, our toys! They are scattered and dirty. We have to pick them up and clean them." + +They get out of the pool and start to pick up the toys. They do not see the star in the pool. They do not know it is broken and gone. + +They finish picking up the toys and put them in a basket. They say, "There, we are done. We have all our toys. Let's go inside and have a snack." + +They walk to the house and leave the pool. They do not look back. They do not see the star in the pool. They do not remember it. They forget about it. + +The star stays in the pool. It is small and broken. It does not light up. It is lonely and sad. It wishes Sara and Ben would come back and play with it. It misses them. It cries. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big box with a bow on it. They ran to the box and asked mom if they could open it. + +"Sure, but be careful. It might be a surprise," mom said. + +Sara and Ben pulled the bow and lifted the lid. They gasped when they saw what was inside. The box was full of candy! There were chocolates, gummies, lollipops, and more. + +"Wow, look at all the candy!" Sara said. + +"Who gave us this?" Ben asked. + +Mom smiled and pointed to a man who was waving at them. He was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He had a kind face and a big smile. + +"Hello, Sara and Ben. I wanted to give you a gift for being such good kids. You always help me with my garden and say hello to me. You are very generous and polite. I hope you enjoy the candy," Mr. Lee said. + +"Thank you, Mr. Lee. You are very generous and nice too," Sara and Ben said. + +They ran to Mr. Lee and gave him a hug. Then they shared some of their candy with him and mom. They were very happy and grateful. They had a sweet surprise and a sweet friend. +Sara liked to play with her toy kitchen. She had pots and pans and spoons and cups. She liked to pretend she was making food for her dolls and teddy bears. She would stir and pour and taste and say "yum yum". + +One day, she found a bottle in the cupboard. It had a skull and bones on it. She did not know what it was, but it looked like juice. She wanted to make juice for her dolls and teddy bears. She opened the bottle and poured some in a cup. She stirred it with a spoon and said "yum yum". + +But the bottle was not juice. It was poison. It was very bad and made people sick. Sara did not know that. She gave the cup to her doll and said "drink up". Then she gave another cup to her teddy bear and said "drink up". Then she took a sip from her own cup and said "drink up". + +Soon, Sara felt very sick. Her tummy hurt and she felt dizzy. She dropped the cup and the spoon and the bottle. She cried and called for her mom. Her mom heard her and ran to the kitchen. She saw the poison and the cups and the spoon and the bottle. She was very scared and angry. She picked up Sara and said "what did you do?" + +She took Sara to the hospital. The doctor gave Sara some medicine to make her better. He said Sara was lucky. He said poison was very dangerous and could kill people. He said Sara should never touch poison or drink it or give it to anyone. He said Sara should only play with safe things and ask her mom before she used anything. + +Sara was sorry. She did not mean to hurt herself or her dolls or her teddy bear. She did not know poison was bad. She learned a lesson. She said she would never play with poison again. She said she would only make safe food for her dolls and her teddy bear. She hugged her mom and said "I love you". Her mom hugged her back and said "I love you too". +On Sunday, Lily and her dog Spot went to the park with Mom and Dad. Lily liked to play on the swings and slide, and Spot liked to run and chase the birds. Mom and Dad told Lily and Spot to be obedient and stay close to them. + +But Lily and Spot saw a big pond with ducks and frogs. They wanted to go and see them. They did not listen to Mom and Dad. They ran away from the swings and slide, and went to the pond. They did not see the sign that said "Danger! Deep water!" + +Lily and Spot got too close to the edge of the pond. Spot slipped and fell into the water. He splashed and barked, but he could not swim. Lily was scared. She wanted to rescue Spot. She reached out her hand to grab him, but she lost her balance and fell into the water too. + +Mom and Dad heard the splash and the bark. They ran to the pond and saw Lily and Spot in the water. They were very worried. They called for help. A man with a boat came and tried to rescue Lily and Spot. But it was too late. The water was too deep and too cold. Lily and Spot did not come out of the water. They drowned. + +Mom and Dad were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had been more careful. They wished Lily and Spot had been more obedient. They missed them very much. They never went to the park again. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat something good. They went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. They saw a lot of food inside. + +"Look, Lily, there is cheese and ham and bread. We can make a sandwich!" Ben said. + +"Yes, let's do that. And we can have some juice too!" Lily said. + +They took out the cheese and the ham and the bread and the juice. They put them on the table. They were about to make their sandwich when they smelled something bad. + +"Yuck, what is that smell?" Ben asked. + +He looked at the cheese. It was green and fuzzy. It had rot on it. + +"Ew, the cheese is rot. We can't eat that. It will make us sick!" Lily said. + +She looked at the ham. It was brown and slimy. It had rot on it too. + +"Yuck, the ham is rot too. We can't eat that either. It will make us worse!" Lily said. + +They looked at the bread. It was white and soft. It had no rot on it. + +"Phew, the bread is good. We can eat that. But we need something else to put on it," Ben said. + +He looked at the juice. It was orange and sweet. It had no rot on it. + +"Hey, the juice is good too. We can drink that. But we can't put it on the bread. That would be silly," Lily said. + +They thought for a moment. They had no cheese and no ham and no other food to put on the bread. They were still hungry. + +"What can we do?" Ben asked. + +They heard a voice from the living room. It was their mom. + +"Ben, Lily, are you in the kitchen? I have a surprise for you!" their mom said. + +They ran to the living room. They saw their mom holding a big cake. It had frosting and sprinkles and candles on it. + +"Happy birthday, Ben and Lily! I made you a cake. You can have a big slice each. And you can have some milk too," their mom said. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They forgot about the rot food in the refrigerator. They hugged their mom and thanked her for the cake. + +"Mom, you are the best. You are so kind and honest and good. We love you," Ben and Lily said. + +They ate their cake and drank their milk. They were not hungry anymore. They were full and happy. They had a good birthday. +Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. Tim wants to climb the tree and see the sky. He puts on his red cap and says to Mia, "Come on, let's go up!" + +Mia is scared of the tree. She thinks it is too high and too hard. She says to Tim, "No, no, I don't want to climb. I want to stay here and play with my doll." + +Tim says, "Don't be scared, Mia. It is fun to climb. I will help you. Look, I can reach this branch. Come on, you can do it too!" + +Tim climbs higher and higher. He feels happy and proud. He can see the birds and the clouds. He calls to Mia, "Mia, Mia, look at me! I am so high! I can see everything!" + +Mia looks up and sees Tim. She feels more scared. She thinks Tim is too far and too small. She says to Tim, "Tim, Tim, come down! You are too high! You will fall! Come down, please!" + +Tim hears Mia and looks down. He sees Mia crying and holding her doll. He feels sorry and worried. He says to Mia, "Don't cry, Mia. I will come down. I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." + +Tim climbs down carefully. He reaches the ground and hugs Mia. He says to Mia, "I am sorry, Mia. I love you. You are my best friend. Do you want to wear my cap?" + +Mia stops crying and smiles. She says to Tim, "I love you too, Tim. You are my best friend. Yes, I want to wear your cap." + +Tim gives Mia his red cap and puts it on her head. They look at each other and laugh. They hold hands and run to the swings. They play together and have fun. They are not scared anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to choose from, but they wanted to make something new. They saw a big box of paper and some scissors on the table. + +"Let's cut the paper and make shapes!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful with the scissors. They are sharp and can hurt you," Ben said. + +They climbed on the chairs and reached for the scissors. Lily took a pair and started to cut a circle. Ben took another pair and tried to cut a star. But the scissors were too big for his hands and he could not hold them well. + +He stumbled and dropped the scissors on the floor. They made a loud noise and broke into two pieces. The blades were bent and the handles were cracked. + +"Oh no! The scissors are broken! Mom will be mad!" Ben cried. + +Lily looked at the scissors and felt sorry for Ben. She knew the scissors were fragile and not for children. She hugged Ben and said, "Don't cry, Ben. It was an accident. We can tell Mom the truth and say sorry. Maybe she can fix the scissors or get new ones." + +They got down from the chairs and picked up the broken scissors. They walked to the kitchen where Mom was making cookies. They showed her the scissors and told her what happened. + +Mom was not mad. She was glad that they were not hurt. She said, "Thank you for being honest, Lily and Ben. I know you were curious and wanted to have fun, but scissors are not toys. They are dangerous and can cut you or break things. Next time, ask me before you use them, OK?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We are sorry. We won't use scissors without you." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's OK. I forgive you. I have some glue and tape. Maybe I can fix the scissors later. But for now, how about we have some cookies and milk?" + +Lily and Ben cheered and said, "Yes, please!" + +They followed Mom to the table and enjoyed the cookies and milk. They learned their lesson and decided to play with safer things. They still liked to make shapes, but they used their fingers and crayons instead. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with ink and paper. They have many colors of ink: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They dip their fingers in the ink and make prints on the paper. They make shapes, animals, and letters. + +"Look, Ben, I made a jolly sun!" Lily says, showing her yellow ink print. "It has a big smile and rays." + +"That is very nice, Lily. I made a jolly fish!" Ben says, showing his blue ink print. "It has a fin and scales." + +They laugh and clap their hands. They are happy with their ink art. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is not happy. + +"Ben! Lily! What have you done?" Mom says, looking at the ink and paper mess. "You have ink on your hands, your clothes, and the table. This is not how you play with ink. You have to be careful and clean." + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they say together. "We just wanted to have fun with ink. We made jolly things." + +Mom sighs. She sees their ink prints. They are jolly, indeed. She smiles a little. + +"I know, Ben and Lily. I know you like to be creative. But you have to follow the rules. Ink is not for fingers. It is for pens and brushes. And you have to use a mat and a cloth to protect the table and your clothes. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," they say. "We understand. We will be more careful next time." + +Mom nods. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She helps them clean the ink and paper. She hangs their jolly prints on the fridge. She is proud of them. They are good friends. They have fun with ink. +Lily loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Sometimes she reads with Mommy or Daddy, and sometimes she reads by herself. She has many books, but her favorite one is about animals. + +One day, Lily finds her animal book on the shelf. She takes it to the couch and sits down. She opens the book and sees a big lion. The lion has a yellow mane and sharp teeth. He looks very strong and brave. Lily smiles and turns the page. + +On the next page, she sees a monkey. The monkey has brown fur and a long tail. He is hanging from a tree and eating a banana. He looks very funny and lively. Lily giggles and turns the page. + +On the third page, she sees a snake. The snake has green scales and a forked tongue. He is coiled around a branch and staring at a bird. He looks very sneaky and scary. Lily frowns and turns the page. + +But the snake is not on the page. He is on the couch! He has slithered out of the book and is next to Lily. He hisses and tries to bite her. Lily screams and squeezes the book. The snake goes back into the book and the page closes. Lily throws the book on the floor and runs to Mommy. + +Mommy hugs Lily and calms her down. She picks up the book and looks at it. She sees that the book is magic. It says, "Warning: Do not squeeze the pages. The animals will come to life." Mommy laughs and says, "Lily, you have a very special book. But you have to be careful with it. Next time, let's read a different book. How about the one about flowers?" Lily nods and smiles. She still loves books, but she does not want to see the snake again. +Anna was nervous. She wanted to give Mom a good gift for her birthday. She had made a calendar with her drawings. She had drawn flowers, animals, and rainbows. She had put stickers on the days that were special. She hoped Mom would like it. + +She asked Dad to help her wrap the calendar. Dad found some paper with stars on it. He cut a big piece and put the calendar on it. He showed Anna how to fold the paper and tape it. He said, "You did a great job, Anna. Mom will love your calendar." + +Anna smiled and wrote "To Mom" on the paper. She put a bow on it and hugged Dad. She said, "Thank you, Dad. Can we give it to Mom now?" + +Dad said, "Not yet, Anna. We have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is Mom's birthday. We will surprise her in the morning." + +Anna nodded and put the calendar under her bed. She said, "Okay, Dad. I can wait. I love Mom. I love you too." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Anna. Now, let's go brush your teeth and read a story. It's time for bed." + +Anna followed Dad to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and put on her pajamas. She picked a book and climbed into bed. Dad read her the story and kissed her goodnight. He said, "Sweet dreams, Anna. Tomorrow will be a fun day." + +Anna closed her eyes and dreamed of Mom's happy face. She was excited to give her the calendar. She was not nervous anymore. She was proud. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily liked to be the boss and tell Max what to do. She said, "Max, you be the doctor and I be the sick girl. You have to give me a lemon to make me better." + +Max did not like lemons. They were sour and made his face funny. He said, "No, Lily, I don't want to give you a lemon. I want to play with my cars." + +Lily was angry. She said, "Max, you have to do what I say. I am the boss. Give me a lemon now or I will cry." + +Max did not like when Lily cried. He said, "OK, OK, I will give you a lemon. But only one. And then we play with my cars." + +He went to the kitchen and got a lemon. He brought it to Lily and said, "Here, Lily, here is your lemon. Now eat it and be better." + +Lily took the lemon and bit it. She made a sour face and spit it out. She said, "Yuck, Max, this lemon is bad. It hurts my mouth. I don't want it." + +Max said, "See, Lily, I told you lemons are not good. They are not for playing. They are for making juice or cake." + +Lily said, "Sorry, Max, you were right. Let's play with your cars. But I am still the boss." + +Max said, "OK, Lily, you can be the boss. But only for a little while. Then we have to nap. Mommy said so." + +Lily said, "OK, Max, we can nap. But only for a little while. Then we can play some more." + +They played with the cars until they were tired. Then they put their toys away and went to nap. They snuggled with their blankets and closed their eyes. They dreamed of lemons and cars and being the boss. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small bucket. They fill the bucket with water from the fountain and throw the ball to each other. + +One day, they see a weird animal in the park. It has long legs, a long tail and a big pouch. It is a kangaroo. The kangaroo is lost and scared. It hops around the park, looking for a way out. + +Sara and Ben want to help the kangaroo. They think it is thirsty and hungry. They bring their bucket and their ball to the kangaroo. They try to give it some water and some grass. But the kangaroo does not want their water or their grass. It is afraid of them. It kicks their bucket and their ball away. The water splashes on Sara and Ben. They get very wet. They get very mad. + +They start to chase the kangaroo. They want to get their bucket and their ball back. They want to soak the kangaroo with water. They think it is mean and rude. They run after the kangaroo, shouting and waving their arms. + +But the kangaroo is faster and smarter than them. It hops over the fence and runs away. It finds a truck that is going to the zoo. It jumps on the back of the truck and hides in a box. It hopes to find some friends at the zoo. + +Sara and Ben stop at the fence. They cannot catch the kangaroo. They are tired and wet. They are sad and sorry. They wish they had been nicer to the kangaroo. They wish they had been friends. They go back to the fountain and fill their bucket again. They try to dry themselves with their ball. They hope to see the kangaroo again. They hope to say sorry. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to eat avocado. Mama cuts an avocado in half and gives one piece to Sara and one piece to Ben. Sara and Ben say thank you. + +But Sara sees that Ben's piece has more green stuff than hers. She thinks that is not fair. She wants more green stuff. She says to Ben, "Give me some of your avocado. You have too much." + +Ben says, "No, this is my avocado. You have your own. Go away." + +Sara gets angry. She tries to grab Ben's avocado. Ben holds it tight. They start to pull and push. The avocado falls on the floor. It gets dirty and squished. + +Mama hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the avocado on the floor. She sees Sara and Ben crying. She is not happy. She says, "What did you do? You wasted the avocado. You should have shared it. Sharing is nice. Fighting is bad." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mama. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. Mama says, "It's okay. I have another avocado. But this time, you have to share it nicely. And be careful. The avocado is hot. I put some salt and lemon on it. It tastes yummy." + +Sara and Ben nod. They smile. They take a spoon and share the avocado. They say, "Mmm, this is good. Thank you, Mama. We love you. We love avocado. And we love each other." +Lily was a clever bird. She liked to fly high in the sky and see many things. She had big and strong wings that could lift her up and down. She also liked to talk to her friends and learn new words. + +One day, she saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a ring. Lily wanted to have it. She flew down and tried to lift it with her beak. But it was too heavy. She tried again and again, but she could not lift it. + +She saw a mouse nearby. She asked him, "Can you help me lift this ring? It is very pretty and I want it." + +The mouse looked at the ring and said, "No, I cannot help you. It is too big for me. And it is not good for you. It is a trap. If you touch it, it will snap and hurt you. You should leave it alone and fly away." + +Lily did not believe him. She thought he was lying. She said, "You are not nice. You just want the ring for yourself. I will not fly away. I will find a way to lift it." + +She looked around and saw a stick. She thought, "Maybe I can use this stick to lift the ring. I am very clever. I will show the mouse." + +She picked up the stick with her beak and pushed it under the ring. She tried to lift the ring with the stick. But the stick was not strong enough. It broke and the ring snapped. It caught Lily's beak and hurt her. + +Lily cried out in pain. She dropped the stick and tried to free her beak. But the ring was too tight. She could not open her beak or fly away. + +The mouse heard her cry and ran to her. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I tried to warn you. It is a trap. It is not a pretty thing. It is a bad thing. Let me help you." + +He bit the ring with his teeth and made a hole in it. He pulled the ring off Lily's beak and freed her. Lily was very grateful. She said, "Thank you, mouse. You are very kind and brave. You saved me. I was wrong. You are not lying. You are telling the truth. The ring is a trap. It is a bad thing. I will not touch it again." + +She hugged the mouse with her wings and said, "You are my friend. I am sorry I was not nice to you. Can you forgive me?" + +The mouse smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you. You are my friend too. I am glad you are okay. Come, let us fly away and find something good to play with." + +They flew away together and became good friends. They learned to share and help each other. They also learned to be careful and listen to each other. They were happy and clever birds. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Sara liked to brush Lily's hair and talk to her. + +One day, Sara saw a new toy in the store. It was a puppy. The puppy was brown and fluffy, and it had a red collar. Sara wanted the puppy very much. She asked her mom, "Can I have the puppy, please?" + +Her mom said, "No, Sara, you have enough toys. And the puppy is not a toy, it is alive. It needs food and water and love. And it can bite." + +Sara was sad. She did not understand why she could not have the puppy. She thought the puppy would love her and play with her. She decided to sneak the puppy home when her mom was not looking. + +She put the puppy in her backpack and ran to her room. She took out the puppy and put it on her bed. She said, "Hello, puppy. I am Sara. You are my new friend. Do you want to play with Lily?" + +The puppy did not answer. It looked at Sara and wagged its tail. Then it saw Lily. It jumped on the bed and grabbed Lily by the hair. It shook Lily and tore her dress. Sara was shocked. She tried to take Lily away from the puppy. She said, "No, puppy, no! That is Lily, my doll. She is not for you. Let her go!" + +But the puppy did not listen. It growled and bit Sara's finger. Sara screamed. She dropped Lily and the puppy. She ran to her mom, crying. She said, "Mom, mom, the puppy bit me! It hurt me! It ruined Lily!" + +Her mom saw the blood on Sara's finger and the puppy on the bed. She said, "Sara, what have you done? Where did you get that puppy? You know you are not supposed to take things that are not yours. And you know puppies can bite. You should have listened to me." + +She took Sara to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara, I know you wanted the puppy. But you have to be careful and responsible with animals. They are not like dolls. They have feelings and needs. And they can hurt you if you don't treat them well." + +Sara nodded. She felt sorry for the puppy and for Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. Can we take the puppy back to the store? And can we fix Lily?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, we can do that. But first, let's make your finger clean and better. And let's say sorry to the puppy and to Lily. They are both your friends, in different ways." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Tom finds a big key in his mom's drawer. He thinks it is a magic key. He shows it to Mia and says, "Look, I have a magic key. It can open anything. It is perfect." + +Mia wants to see the key. She asks, "Can I hold it, please?" Tom says, "No, it is mine. You can't touch it. It is too special for you." He teases Mia and runs away with the key.

But nothing happens. The key does not work. He feels silly and bored. He says, "Maybe this is not a magic key. Maybe it is just a key." + +He sees Mia sitting on the couch. She is reading a book. She looks happy. Tom feels sorry. He says, "Mia, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Do you want to see the key?" Mia says, "No, thank you. I don't need the key. I have a book. It is perfect." + +Tom says, "Can we be friends again?" Mia says, "Yes, we can. But you have to be nice. And you have to share." Tom says, "OK, I will. Can I read the book with you?"

They liked to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they found a big box behind the shed. They opened it and saw a guitar inside. The guitar was filthy. It had dirt, dust and spider webs on it. + +"Wow, a guitar!" Tom said. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +"Who cares?" Tom said. "It's old and dirty. No one wants it. Come on, let's take it to our room." + +Tom and Sam carried the guitar to their room. They tried to make sounds with it, but it only made noises. They laughed and pretended to be rock stars. + +Their mom heard them and came to their room. She saw the guitar and gasped. + +"Where did you get that?" she asked. + +"We found it in a box," Tom said. + +"That's your grandpa's guitar," mom said. "He gave it to me before he died. It's very special to me. I remember how he used to play it for me when I was little. He loved music." + +Mom looked sad. She took the guitar from them and wiped it with a cloth. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Sam said. "We didn't know." + +"It's okay," mom said. "You didn't mean to hurt me. But you have to be careful with other people's things. You never know what they mean to them." + +Mom hugged them and smiled. + +"Do you want to hear a song?" she asked. + +"Yes, please," Tom and Sam said. + +Mom played the guitar and sang a song. It was a beautiful song. Tom and Sam listened and felt happy. They learned something new that day. They learned to remember. +Lily likes pink. She has a pink dress, a pink hat, and a pink ball.

She had many colors of wool and she made hats and scarves and mittens for her family and friends. She liked to knit in the garden, where she could see the flowers and the birds and the sun. + +One day, a naughty cat came to the garden. The cat saw the wool and wanted to play with it. The cat jumped on the wool and pulled it and tangled it and made a big mess. Lily was very sad and angry. She wanted to prevent the cat from ruining her wool. + +She thought of a brilliant idea. She took some water and a spray bottle and hid behind a bush. When the cat came near the wool, she sprayed water on the cat. The cat hated water and ran away, meowing loudly.

He pointed the spray bottle at the spider and squeezed hard. + +"Ben, no! That is not nice!" Anna said. She ran to the pole and tried to stop Ben. "The spider is not hurting you. He is just making a web." + +But Ben did not listen. He sprayed more water on the spider and laughed. The spider got wet and angry. He crawled down the pole and bit Ben on the hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the spray bottle and held his hand. "Anna, help me! The spider bit me!" + +Anna felt sorry for Ben, but she was also mad. She picked up the spray bottle and sprayed Ben on the face. + +"That is what you get for being spoiled and mean!" Anna said. "Now you know how the spider feels.
