She tried to move around faster to warm up, but it was no use. + +She spoke up, "Mom, my feet feel so cold." But her mom had already left the house. She was all alone. + +The cold winter air continued to seep into her boot, and soon she was shivering uncontrollably. She tried to find something warm to wear, but there was nothing to be found.

The mother smiled and said, "The church helps people to study about all the important things in life. Very fragile things like love, kindness, and peace." + +The boy nodded. From then on, he made it important to study more about these fragile things. Every day, he learned something new about loving and being kind, even when it did not seem easy. + +This is the moral of the story: we should all make the effort to study about fragile things like love and kindness, both at church and in our everyday lives. It is important to remember when in times of hardship and confusion. +Once upon a time, there was an enormous church. Inside, lots of people were gathered and they were all clapping their hands. + +Little Joe watched from his seat and he asked his mum, “Why are they applauding?†+ +Mum smiled, “They are clapping because it is special.†+ +Joe nodded and he too clapped and cheered.

"Can I play with you too?" he sadly requested. But the other vegetables just laughed at him. + +"This is the garden for plants and veggies like us," they said. "Just look at you! You’re an orange lump!" + +The little pumpkin couldn't take it anymore. He hung his head low and started to cry. All of a sudden, a kind voice called out. + +"And what are you doing here?" It was the farmer, looking down at the little pumpkin with a smile. + +"I wanted to join the other veggies, but they said I can't because I'm a pumpkin," said the pumpkin. + +The farmer smiled. "It's okay to be different," he said. "Everyone's special in their own way." + +The moral of the story is that it's okay to be different. Nobody should ever have to feel bad or sad because they look or act differently than everyone else. +Once there was a little boy called Tom. One day Tom decided to go for a walk.

He went back to the well every day to see if the fairy would come back. + +One day, the fairy appeared again. She said, "Thank you for the kiss. It made me very happy." She waved her wand again and a brand-new toy boat appeared in the garden. Tom hugged the fairy and said, "Thank you!" The fairy hugged him back and flew away. + +Tom still visits the well. He looks forward to the day when the fairy will come back again to give him another kiss. +Momo was a painter. He liked to create colourful things. Today he was packing his paints. He was going to the icy mountain to paint. + +As Momo was packing, a voice spoke to him. It said, "Momo, don't go! It is too icy." + +Momo replied, "I can create something beautiful with this icy landscape". + +So Momo continued packing, and he started walking up the icy mountain. Soon the scenery changed, and the icy breeze was cold against his face. + +As Momo looked around, he suddenly slipped on the icy floor. He tried to grab ahold of something, but he couldn't stop. He fell down the icy slope and couldn't get up. + +Momo was stuck in an icy prison. He never saw his paintings again. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Lilly and George. They were always together, and did almost everything together. +One day, Lilly and George were outside playing. Lilly wanted to see how fast she could crawl. She started crawling as fast as she could and before she knew it, she had gone a long way from where she started. + +George was worried about Lilly, so he decided to go and look for her.

She told George that the card was a way of saying thank you for always being her friend. Lilly picked up the card and gave George a hug. + +After that, they both decided that they would start sticking together and never be too far away from each other.

They were both very small and they both loved to play. One day they decided to go down the hill to play. + +As they were walking, Jack noticed a big black well next to the hill. He stopped and said to Jill, "Look! Let's explore this well!" Jill was very scared, but Jack kept looking and saying, "Come on!" + +Jack and Jill started to climb up the well. They spoke softly and were very careful. Suddenly, they heard a voice from the bottom of the well. It said, "Hello! Who are you?" + +Jack and Jill looked at each other and started to be scared.

Please come down here and talk to me!" + +Jack and Jill were still a little scared, but they 'spoke black' and made friends with the well. After that, they went down there every day. They had lots of fun and talked about all kinds of things. + +Jack and Jill stayed best friends for a long time, always going down to the black well to have adventures. +John had an idea. He wanted to measure a hole.

She struggled a bit, but eventually fought her way out and got to the bird. + +But when Jane got closer to the bird, she realized it was attached to a tree. Jane was sad and started to cry. Then Jane realized that even though she couldn't take the bird home with her, she could still appreciate it from afar. + +The moral of the story is that you can't always win something by taking it away from someone else. It's important to remember to appreciate beauty from a distance. +Once upon a time there was a slow banana. He was so slow that the other bananas laughed at him.

Sarah started to touch the lake and quickly felt how cold the water was. She wanted to try and have a swim. + +Suddenly, an old and wise man came out of the nearby trees.

After walking in the woods for what felt like hours, Lila felt tired and a little bit scared.

She hadn't ignored the sign this time and she had learned her lesson. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Susie. She was playing in her garden with her friends when she saw something very interesting. It was a big thing that was moving very fast. Susie had never seen something like this before. She wanted to find out what it was. + +She asked her friends, "What is that thing going so fast?" + +Her friends replied, "It's a race car. It is moving so fast because it is in a race." + +Susie thought it was the most exciting thing she'd ever seen. She wanted to do the same but her friends warned her it would be too dangerous. They suggested that she ride her scooter instead. + +Susie agreed and the next day she took her scooter out and went as fast as she could. It felt thrilling but was a bit boring at the same time. + +The next day she and her friends decided to have a race. They chose a course and raced their scooters around it until Susie won.

The dolphin smiled at them and said, “I’m too lazy to swim. I just want to rub against the ocean floor all day.†+ +The children thought about what the dolphin said. They realized that being lazy wasn't the best thing to do! So, instead of swimming with the dolphin, the children and their parents decided to have a race.

They were called Peter and Jane. + +One day Peter said to Jane, “My mom said I'll go to the beach with you if we make a promise.†+ +Jane thought for a moment and then said, “What's a promise?†+ +Peter grinned, “A promise is when you say you're going to do something and you know you'll do it.†+ +“Well,†said Jane, “I promise that I'll dance with you all day at the beach.†+ +Peter made a good face and said, “That sounds great! Let's go!†+ +So, off they went to the beach.

He turned it upside down and found a secret pocket inside. His eyes lit up as he saw a big red button. + +He quickly pressed the button, and suddenly, the cushion started to move. Tommy was so excited! The cushion glided around the room until it stopped next to Tommy. He quickly hopped on, and the cushion started off on its journey. + +The cushion spun and twisted around the room, taking Tommy on an amazing adventure. They finally came back to his starting point, and Tommy hopped off. He was no longer miserable, but elated and full of energy!

Please, please, please!" Lily begged. + +Her mom looked at the doll and then at Lily. She said, "Lily, you already have many dolls at home. You don't need another one. And this doll is not perfect. It is just a toy. It can't talk, or laugh, or hug you. It can't be your friend. Your dolls at home are your friends. They love you and you love them. You should be happy with what you have." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't listen to her mom. She wanted the perfect doll. She thought her mom was mean and unfair. She threw a tantrum in the store. She cried and screamed and kicked. She made a big scene. + +Her mom was very upset and embarrassed. She tried to calm Lily down, but Lily wouldn't stop. She said, "Lily, stop this right now. You are being very rude and selfish. You are not behaving like a good girl. You are hurting my feelings and the feelings of the people in the store. You should be sorry and say sorry." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she was wrong. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was bad. I don't need the perfect doll. I love you and I love my dolls at home. They are perfect for me. Can we go home now?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I'm glad you understand, Lily. I love you too. You are my perfect girl. Let's go home and play with your dolls. They are waiting for you." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that perfect is not always what it seems. She learned that being happy with what you have is more important than wanting what you don't have. She learned that being kind and grateful is better than being greedy and rude. She learned that display is not as good as love. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make roads and bridges with the sand and the sticks. They saw a big pile of ash near a bench. It was from a fire that happened last night. + +"Look, ash!" Sara said. "Let's use it for our cars." + +They ran to the pile and scooped some ash with their hands. They sprinkled it on their roads and bridges. It was soft and gray. + +"Be careful, it's dry," Ben said. "Don't get it in your eyes or mouth." + +They played for a long time, making noises and stories with their cars. They were having fun. + +Then they saw a man walking towards them. He was holding a broom and a dustpan. He looked sad and tired. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you know what this is?" + +He pointed to the ash. + +"It's ash," Sara said. "We're playing with it." + +The man nodded. He said, "This is the ash from my shop. It burned down last night. I lost everything. I'm here to clean it up." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry for the man. They stopped playing and looked at their cars. They were covered with ash. + +"We're sorry, mister," Ben said. "We didn't know it was your shop. We thought it was just ash." + +The man smiled. He said, "It's okay, kids. You didn't mean any harm. You were just having fun. You can keep playing if you want. I have enough ash to clean up." + +He started to sweep the ash into his dustpan. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They had an idea. + +They ran to their cars and picked them up. They ran to the man and gave him their cars. + +"Here, mister," Sara said. "You can have our cars. Maybe they can make you happy." + +The man was surprised. He looked at the cars and then at the kids. He said, "Thank you, kids. You are very generous. You don't have to give me your cars. They are yours." + +Sara and Ben shook their heads. They said, "No, mister. You can have them. We have more toys at home. We want you to have them." + +The man was touched. He said, "Thank you, kids. You are very kind. You made my day. I will keep your cars and remember you." + +He put the cars in his pocket and hugged Sara and Ben. They hugged him back. + +They said goodbye and ran back to their mom. They told her what happened. She was proud of them. + +They learned that ash can be dry and sad, but cars can be generous and happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Lily's house. Lily's mom gives them juice in cups. Lily has a pink cup. Ben has a blue cup. + +They drink their juice and talk. Lily says, "I love my cup. It is pretty and has flowers on it." Ben says, "I love my cup too. It is cool and has stars on it." They smile and sip their juice. + +Then, the sky gets dark. It is going to rain. Lily and Ben hear thunder. They are scared. They hug their cups. Lily says, "I don't like the dark. It is scary and loud." Ben says, "Me neither. I want the sun to come back." + +Lily's mom comes and sees them. She says, "Don't be afraid. The dark will go away soon. The rain is good for the plants and the animals. And I am here with you. You are safe and warm." She hugs them and gives them cookies. + +Lily and Ben feel better. They eat their cookies and share their cups. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are nice and kind. We love you and our cups." They are happy and brave. They wait for the sun to come back. +Anna likes to learn about history. She likes to look at pictures of old things and people. She has a big book of history that her mom gave her. She likes to ask her mom questions about the book. + +One day, Anna and her mom go to the library. Anna sees a lot of books on the shelves. She wants to find more books of history. She runs to the history section and grabs a book. She opens it and sees a lot of words and numbers. She does not understand them. + +"Mom, what does this say?" she asks, holding up the book. + +Her mom comes over and looks at the book. She smiles and says, "This is a book of history, but it is for grown-ups. It has a lot of hard words and facts. You are not ready for this book yet. Maybe when you are older, you can read it." + +Anna feels sad. She wants to read the book. She says, "But I like history. I want to know more." + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I know, sweetie. You are very smart and curious. But you have to be patient and learn step by step. You can still enjoy your book of history at home. It has a lot of pictures and stories that you can understand. And you can always ask me questions. I love to teach you about history." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She decides to be polite and listen to her mom. She says, "Okay, mom. I will wait for this book. Can we look at some other books?" + +Her mom nods and says, "Of course. Let's go and see what else we can find." + +They put the book back on the shelf and walk to another section. Anna sees a book of animals and picks it up. She likes animals. She opens it and sees a lot of colorful pictures. She smiles and says, "Look, mom. A lion. A monkey. A bird. Can we read this book?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Sure. That looks like a fun book. Let's sit down and read it together." + +They find a cozy spot and sit down. Anna holds the book and turns the pages. Her mom reads the words and tells her about the animals. Anna learns a lot of new things and has a lot of fun. She forgets about the book of history for grown-ups. She is happy with her book of animals and her mom. +Tom and Anna are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut out shapes and make animals and flowers. Tom cuts out a big circle and says, "Look, Anna, this is a sun!" + +Anna smiles and says, "That's nice, Tom. Can I have the scissors, please? I want to make a moon." + +Tom gives her the scissors and watches her cut out a smaller circle. He says, "That's not a moon, Anna. That's a stupid ball. A moon has a face and a curve." + +Anna feels sad and says, "No, Tom, that's not true. A moon can be round or curved. And it doesn't have a face. That's just a picture." + +Tom gets angry and says, "You're wrong, Anna. You don't know anything. Give me back the scissors. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He grabs the scissors from Anna and runs away. Anna cries and remains alone with her paper and scissors. She wishes Tom would come back and say sorry. She thinks he is being mean and rude. She hopes he will learn to be nice and share. +Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom. They liked to eat cheese sandwiches and apple juice. Mom gave them each a napkin to wipe their mouths. Lily was a good girl and used her napkin carefully. But Ben was naughty and liked to play with his napkin. He twisted it into a long rope and swung it around. + +"Ben, stop that!" Mom said. "You are making a mess and wasting your napkin. Napkins are for cleaning, not for playing." + +But Ben did not listen. He twisted his napkin harder and harder until it ripped in half. He was sad and angry. He threw the pieces on the floor and cried. + +"Lily, can you share your napkin with Ben?" Mom asked. + +Lily looked at Ben and saw his tears. She felt sorry for him. She tore her napkin in half and gave one piece to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. You can have my napkin. But please be gentle with it." Lily said. + +Ben took the napkin and wiped his eyes. He said sorry to Mom and Lily. He learned his lesson. He hugged Lily and thanked her for being kind. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She was proud of Lily for being generous and of Ben for being sorry. She said, "You are both good children. I love you very much. Now, let's finish our lunch and then we can have some cookies." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of being careful with things, listening to parents, saying sorry, and sharing with others. +Sara likes to sing songs.

It is my favorite song." + +She starts to sing. She sings loud and clear. She remembers the words and the tune. She looks at the audience. She sees her mom and dad and friends. They are cheering for her. They are proud of her. Sara feels happy and confident. She finishes her song. She hears a big applause.

He wanted to help Sue, but he did not know how. He thought of his mom. She always helped him when he was hurt or sad. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Tom yelled. He rode his bike as fast as he could to his house. He hoped his mom would hear him and come out. + +But his mom did not hear him. She was busy in the kitchen. She was making a cake for a special event. It was Tom's birthday. She wanted to surprise him with a big party. She did not know that Tom was in trouble. + +Tom reached his house and banged on the door. He hoped his mom would open it and hug him. He hoped she would return with him to the park and save Sue. + +But his mom did not open the door. She did not hear his knocks. She was putting candles on the cake. She was singing a happy song. She did not know that Tom was sad. + +Tom waited and waited. He felt alone and cold. He wondered where Sue was. He wondered if the dog was still there. He wondered if anyone would help them. + +But no one came. No one helped them. Tom and Sue were alone. The dog was still there. It was a bad day. It was a bad ending. +Anna liked to play with candles. She liked how they made light and how they smelled nice. But Mama said candles were not for playing. Mama said candles were hot and could hurt Anna or make a fire. + +One day, Anna saw a candle on the table. Mama was not in the room. Anna wanted to touch the candle. She climbed on a chair and reached for the candle. But the candle was too hot. It burned Anna's hand. Anna cried out loud. + +Mama heard Anna and ran to the room. She saw Anna holding her hand and the candle on the floor. Mama was scared and angry. She picked up Anna and took her to the sink. She put Anna's hand under cool water.

She said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I just wanted to see the candle. I didn't know it was so hot. It hurt a lot. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mama wiped Anna's tears and hugged her. She said, "I'm not mad at you, Anna. I'm glad you are okay. But you have to listen to me. Candles are not for playing. They are for special times. Next time, ask me before you touch anything. I love you, Anna." + +Anna said, "I love you, Mama. I will listen to you. Can I have a band-aid for my hand?" + +Mama said, "Yes, you can. Let's go get one. And then we can read a story together. How about that?" + +Anna said, "Yes, please. That sounds nice. Thank you, Mama." + +Mama and Anna went to get a band-aid and a book. They sat on the couch and read the story. Anna felt better and learned her lesson. She never played with candles again. +Lily was a bunny who liked to hop around the forest. She liked to find new things to see and smell and taste. One day, she saw a big red mushroom with white spots. It looked very attractive to her. She hopped closer to it and sniffed it. + +"Hello, little bunny," said a voice from the mushroom. Lily was surprised. She looked around and saw a small green frog sitting on the mushroom. He had a big smile and bright eyes. + +"Who are you?" asked Lily. + +"I'm Fred, the frog. I live in this mushroom. It's very cozy and warm. Do you want to come in?" said Fred. + +Lily was curious. She had never seen a frog or a mushroom like this before.

He makes the squash dirty and wet. + +"Spot, stop!" Lily and Max say. "You are ruining the squash!" + +Spot stops and looks at them. He sees their sad faces. He feels sorry. He drops the squash and wags his tail. He licks their hands and faces. + +"I'm sorry, Lily and Max," Spot says. "I thought it was a ball. I just wanted to play." + +Lily and Max hug Spot. They forgive him. They look at the squash. It is still big and yellow, but also dirty and wet. + +"Maybe we can still eat it," Lily says.

It is fun to clean the grass." + +They chase each other around the garden. They make a lot of noise. They do not see their mom coming out of the house. + +"Kids, what are you doing?" mom asks. She looks at the mop and the grass. They are both wet and dirty. She is not happy. + +"We are playing with the mop, mom," Lily says. + +"We are cleaning the grass, mom," Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head. + +"You are not cleaning the grass, you are making a mess," she says. "The mop is not a toy. It is for cleaning the floor. And the grass does not need to be cleaned. It needs to be watered and cut." + +She takes the mop from them and puts it back in the shed. She tells them to go inside and wash their hands. + +"Sorry, mom," Lily and Ben say. They feel bad for teasing mom and the grass. + +They go inside and wash their hands. They look out of the window.

They saw dad waiting for them. They ran to him and showed him the rocks and sticks. He said they were cool. He said he was proud of them. He said he loved them too. They all hugged and went home. They had a good day. +Sam liked to help his mom cook. He would stir the soup, the sauce, and the cake batter. He liked to see the colors and smell the flavors. He also liked to taste the food and say if it was good or not. + +One day, his mom said they would go to the market. Sam was excited.

I have to sell them to the customers. I work hard every day, but I don't have many friends. I feel lonely sometimes." + +Sam felt sad for the vendor. He wanted to make him happy. He said, "You can be my friend. You are nice and you have good ice cream. I will share my scoop with you. What flavor do you want?" + +The vendor was surprised and touched by Sam's offer. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind and generous. I would like to try the chocolate, please." + +Sam asked for a chocolate scoop and gave half of it to the vendor.

She asks her if she is okay. + +"I'm okay, mommy, but I'm clumsy. I lost my song. I can't remember the words," Lily says. + +"Oh, sweetie, you didn't lose your song. It's still in your heart. You just need to think of something happy and it will come back to you," her mommy says. + +Lily thinks of her teddy bear, her rainbow, and her butterfly. She smiles and starts to sing again. Her mommy joins her and they sing together. Lily feels better and hugs her mommy and her teddy bear. She is not clumsy. She is brave and happy. She loves her song. +Anna likes to sing. She sings every day. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. She sings to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. + +But not everyone likes Anna's singing. Her brother Ben does not like it. He thinks Anna sings too loud, too much, and too bad. He tells Anna to stop singing. He says she is making a lot of noise. He says she is hurting his ears. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing in the park. Anna sees a big slide. She wants to go on it. She runs to the slide and starts to sing. She sings a song about the slide, the sun, and the fun. She sings with a big smile. + +But Ben is not happy. He wants to go on the slide too. He does not want to hear Anna's singing. He runs after Anna and pushes her. He says, "Stop singing! You are annoying! Let me go on the slide!" + +Anna falls down. She feels a heavy pain in her knee. She starts to cry. She does not want to sing anymore. She says, "You are mean! You hurt me! Go away!" + +A lady who works in the park sees what happens. She comes to Anna and Ben. She helps Anna get up. She puts a band-aid on her knee. She says, "Are you okay, sweetie? What happened?" + +Anna tells the lady what Ben did. She says, "He pushed me. He does not like my singing. He says I am noisy and bad." + +The lady looks at Ben. She says, "Is that true, young man? Why did you push your sister? Why did you say those things?" + +Ben looks down. He feels ashamed. He says, "I don't know. I just don't like her singing. She sings all the time. She does not let me play." + +The lady says, "Well, that is not a good reason to hurt your sister. Singing is a beautiful thing. It is a way to express yourself, to share your feelings, to have fun. Your sister sings because she loves singing. You should not stop her from doing what she loves. You should be happy for her. You should support her. You should try to sing with her. Maybe you will like it too." + +Ben thinks about what the lady says. He realizes he was wrong. He feels sorry. He says, "You are right. I was mean. I am sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt you. I did not mean to make you cry. I do love you. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looks at Ben. She sees he is sincere. She says, "I forgive you, Ben. I love you too. Do you really want to sing with me?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, I do. Can you teach me your song?" + +Anna smiles. She says, "Of course I can. It is easy. It goes like this..." + +Anna and Ben hug. They go to the slide. They sing together. They have fun. They learn a lesson. They learn to respect each other, to appreciate each other, and to enjoy each other. They learn that singing is a gift, a joy, and a bond. They learn that singing is better when shared. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a bucket and a shovel each. + +"Look, Anna, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up a long, wiggly thing. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Anna said. "Can I see?" + +Ben gave her the worm and she put it in the bucket. Then she dug some more. + +"Look, Ben, I found a frog!" Anna said, holding up a small, green thing. + +"Wow, Anna, that's cool!" Ben said. "Can I see?" + +Anna gave him the frog and he put it in the bucket. Then he touched it gently. + +"It's soft and wet," Ben said. "And it has big eyes and legs." + +"It's cute and funny," Anna said. "And it makes a sound like this: ribbit, ribbit." + +They laughed and tried to make the same sound. The frog looked at them and croaked. + +"Hello, frog," Anna said. "We are Anna and Ben. Do you want to be our friend?" + +The frog blinked and jumped out of the bucket. It hopped away into the grass. + +"Bye, frog," Ben said. "Maybe we'll see you again." + +Anna and Ben smiled and waved.

They did not care about their dad or the camp. They only cared about the flashlights. Their dad was very sad and mad. He said, "That's it. You have to leave the camp. You have to go to your room. You have to think about what you did. You have to say sorry to each other." + +Tim and Jen had to leave the camp. They had to go to their room. They had to sit on their bed. They had no flashlights. They had no books, toys, blankets, or snacks. They had no fun. They were very bored and sad. They were also very confused. They did not understand why they fought over the flashlights.

She says, "Stop playing with the toilet! You are wasting water and making a mess! Come out of the bathroom now!" + +Lily and Ben do not listen. They flush the toilet again and again.

He gave Mia a hug and said he would not surprise her with worms again. Mia hugged him back and said it was okay. They decided to play with something else. They found a ball and a kite. They had fun in the park. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They had a big bowl of popcorn to share. Sara liked to make her cars go fast and jump over the bowl. Ben liked to make his cars go slow and careful around the bowl. + +"Look, Sara, I can make my car go around the bowl without spilling any popcorn," Ben said. + +"That's boring, Ben. Watch me, I can make my car fly over the bowl and land on the other side," Sara said. She pushed her car hard and it flew in the air. But it did not land on the other side. It landed in the bowl and made the popcorn fly everywhere. + +"Oops!" Sara said. + +"Hey, Sara, you made a mess. You made the popcorn wet and sticky. And you made my car wet and sticky too," Ben said. He picked up his car and tried to wipe it with his shirt. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to. It was an accident," Sara said. She felt bad for making Ben sad. + +"Can you please quit making your cars jump over the bowl, Sara? It's not fun. It's not nice. It's not fair," Ben said. + +"Okay, Ben. I will quit making my cars jump over the bowl. I will play with you the way you like. Can we still be friends?" Sara said. + +"Sure, Sara. We can still be friends. But can we get a new bowl of popcorn? This one is wet and yucky," Ben said. + +"Okay, Ben. Let's go get a new bowl of popcorn. And maybe some napkins too," Sara said. + +They got up and went to the kitchen. They asked their mom for a new bowl of popcorn and some napkins. Their mom smiled and gave them what they wanted.

They had fun and they did not make any more messes. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big ball near the fence. It was red and shiny and round. + +"Let's play with the ball!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the ball and kicked it. The ball bounced and rolled. It rolled under the fence and into the woods. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "The ball is gone!" + +"Let's go get it!" Ben said. + +They crawled under the fence and followed the ball. The woods were dark and scary. There were many trees and bushes and rocks. There were also many cobwebs. Cobwebs were sticky and white and made by spiders. + +"Look out for the cobwebs!" Lily said. + +"I see them!" Ben said. + +They dodged the cobwebs and kept looking for the ball. They saw the ball near a big rock. It was covered with cobwebs and dirt. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "The ball is dirty!" + +"Poor ball!" Ben said. + +They ran to the ball and tried to clean it. They pulled the cobwebs and wiped the dirt. The ball was still red and shiny and round. + +"Yay!" Lily said. "The ball is clean!" + +"Hooray!" Ben said. + +They hugged the ball and smiled. They were happy to find the ball. They decided to go back to the garden and play with the ball. + +"Let's go!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They carried the ball and crawled under the fence. They ran and jumped and laughed. They played with the ball until it was time to go home. They loved the ball. The ball was their friend. The end. +Ben and Lily were going to visit their grandma in the woods. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and snacks. Mom helped them to pack and told them to hurry up. + +"Mom, can I bring my deer?" Ben asked. He had a stuffed deer that he loved very much. + +"Of course, you can, Ben. But don't forget to pack your toothbrush and your pajamas too," Mom said. + +"Mom, can I bring my book?" Lily asked. She had a book with pictures of animals that she liked to read. + +"Sure, you can, Lily. But don't forget to pack your socks and your sweater too," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily packed their bags and put them in the car. They said goodbye to Dad and drove away with Mom.

Ben and Lily pointed at them and said, "Look, Mom, deer!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, they are deer. They are very beautiful and gentle animals. But we have to be careful not to scare them or hurt them. They are wild and they need their space and freedom." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mom, we understand. We will be nice to the deer and all the animals in the woods." + +They arrived at Grandma's house and hugged her. Grandma was very happy to see them and gave them cookies and milk. She showed them their room and said, "You can play with your toys and your book, but don't make too much noise. The woods are very quiet and peaceful. And don't go too far from the house. There are some dangers in the woods that you don't know." + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, Grandma, we will be careful and quiet. We love the woods and we want to respect them." + +They played for a while and then they felt sleepy. They put their toys and their book in their bags and got ready for bed.

Sleep well and have sweet dreams." + +Ben and Lily closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of deer and other animals in the woods. They were happy and peaceful. + +The moral value of the story is: respect nature and its creatures. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They found a big hole under a tree. They wondered what lived in it. + +"Maybe it is a mole," Anna said. "Moles are furry animals that dig tunnels. They have small eyes and big noses." + +"Or maybe it is a dragon," Ben said. "Dragons are scary animals that breathe fire. They have big wings and sharp teeth." + +They decided to find out. They took a stick and poked it in the hole. They heard a loud growl. + +"Who is there?" a voice said. "Go away! This is my home!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They dropped the stick and ran away. + +"Who was that?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it was a mole-dragon. An ancient mole-dragon that guards a treasure." + +They hid behind a bush and watched the hole. They saw a furry head pop out. It had small eyes, a big nose, and two horns. + +"Hello," the mole-dragon said. "I'm sorry I growled at you. I was just hungry. Do you have any food?" + +Anna and Ben were surprised. The mole-dragon did not look so scary. It looked friendly. + +"We have some cookies," Anna said. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please," the mole-dragon said. "That would be very nice. Thank you." + +Anna and Ben came out of the bush. They gave some cookies to the mole-dragon. The mole-dragon ate them happily. + +"Mmm, these are delicious," the mole-dragon said. "What are your names?" + +"I'm Anna and this is Ben," Anna said. "What is your name?" + +"I'm Mira," the mole-dragon said. "I'm very old. I've lived here for a long time. I don't have many friends." + +"Can we be your friends?" Ben asked. + +"Of course," Mira said. "I would love that. Do you want to see my treasure?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. Mira invited them to her hole. She showed them her treasure. It was a pile of shiny stones and colorful shells. + +"Wow, these are beautiful," Anna said. + +"Thank you," Mira said. "I collect them from the river and the sea. You can have some if you like." + +"Really?" Ben said. + +"Sure," Mira said. "You are my friends. Friends share." + +Anna and Ben picked some stones and shells. They thanked Mira. They said goodbye and promised to come back soon. + +They ran back to their house. They showed their parents their new treasures and their new friend. + +Their parents were amazed. They did not believe that there was a mole-dragon in the garden. They thought it was a game. + +But Anna and Ben knew the truth. They had met an ancient mole-dragon. And they had ordered some cookies. +Ben likes to play with his trains.

She did not eat any cake or play with any toys. She only served food and cleaned up. She wished she was chubby like Ben, so she could have a birthday event too. +Tom was a famous singer. He had a big mustache and a loud voice. He sang songs on TV and on the stage. Many people liked his songs and wanted to see him. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his dog.

Can you sing one for us?" one girl asked. + +"Sure, I can. Which one do you want to hear?" Tom asked. + +"The one about the moon and the stars!" the children shouted. + +Tom nodded and sang the song. His dog barked along. The children clapped and danced. They liked the song very much. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are awesome!" the children said. + +"You are welcome, children. You are awesome too!" Tom said. + +"Can you sign our hats and shirts?" the children asked. + +"Of course, I can. I have a pen here. Give me your hats and shirts." Tom said. + +The children gave him their hats and shirts.

You have a special souvenir from a famous singer." a woman said. She was Tom's friend and manager. She came to the park to pick him up. + +"Who are you?" the children asked. + +"I am Lisa. I work with Tom. I help him make his songs and shows." Lisa said. + +"Wow, that is cool. Can you sign our hats and shirts too?" the children asked. + +"Sure, I can. I have a pen too. Give me your hats and shirts." Lisa said. + +The children gave her their hats and shirts. Lisa signed her name and drew a star on them. The children smiled and thanked her.

They had many toys and books, but they also liked to explore the rooms and find new things. One day, they saw a shiny thing on the fireplace. It was a silver cup with a lid and a handle. + +"What is this?" Tom asked, picking up the cup. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a pot for tea," Lily said, lifting the lid. + +"No, it's not. It's empty. And look, it has a name on it. It says 'Best Polisher'." + +"Polisher? What is that?" Lily wondered. + +"Maybe someone who makes things shiny. Like this cup. It's very shiny," Tom said, rubbing the cup with his hand. + +"Let's polish it more. Maybe it will be even shinier," Lily said, grabbing a cloth from the table. + +They started to polish the cup, making it sparkle in the light. They were having fun, until they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my trophy?" It was Mr. Brown, the owner of the house. He was a nosy man who always checked on the twins and their nanny. He did not like them to touch his things. + +He came into the room and saw the twins with the cup. He was angry. + +"Give me that! That's mine! I won it for polishing the best fireplace in the town. You have no right to touch it. You are naughty children!" He snatched the cup from Tom and put it back on the fireplace. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not mean to make Mr. Brown mad. They just wanted to play. + +"Sorry, Mr. Brown. We did not know. We just liked the shiny cup," Tom said. + +"Yeah, sorry. We were just polishing it for you," Lily said. + +Mr. Brown did not listen. He scolded them and told them to go to their room. He was not nice. + +Tom and Lily ran to their room. They were sad. They did not like Mr. Brown. They wished he was not so nosy. They wished he would let them play.

Maybe there is something fun inside." + +But Max does not listen. He keeps barking and pulls Sara and Tom away from the van. He is very strong and he loves Sara and Tom very much. + +Suddenly, a man appears from behind the van. He is wearing a mask and has a big bag. He looks angry and mean. He sees Sara and Tom and tries to grab them. He wants to put them in his bag and take them away. + +But Max is faster. He jumps on the man and bites his leg. The man screams and drops his bag. He runs away from the park. He is afraid of Max. + +Sara and Tom hug Max and thank him. They are very happy and proud of their loyal dog. He saved them from the bad man. They decide to never go near the van again. They go home and tell their parents what happened. Their parents are very grateful and give Max a big bone. Max wags his tail and licks their faces. He is a good dog. He is a hero. +Lily and Tom were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park. They could play on the swings and slides and see the ducks. But it was raining. Mom said they needed an umbrella. + +Lily and Tom each had a small umbrella. They opened them and held them over their heads. They walked with Mom to the park. But the wind was strong. It blew their umbrellas. Lily and Tom struggled to keep them. They were fearful. They did not like the wind. + +Mom saw them struggling. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. I will help you."

We can get another ball. You did a fine kick. You are good at this game." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are good at this game too." + +Lily says, "Let's go and find another ball. Maybe we can find a medal too. A medal is shiny and pretty. We can wear it and clap for each other." + +Ben says, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds fun. Maybe we can find a medal that says 'Best Friends'." + +They hold hands and run to find another ball and a medal. They are happy. They like to play games. They like to be friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep." + +They put on their shoes and hats and ran to the hill. They started to climb, holding hands and helping each other. They saw many rocks, flowers, and bugs on the way. They also heard some birds singing and some cows mooing. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a beautiful view of the fields, the trees, and the sky. They also saw a big lake with some ducks and a boat. + +"Wow, Tom! Look at the view!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and shiny!" + +"Yes, Lily! Look at the lake!" Tom said. "It is so blue and calm!" + +They sat on the grass and watched the view. They felt happy and proud. They had climbed the hill by themselves. + +They decided to gather some flowers and rocks to take home. They picked some yellow, pink, and purple flowers and some smooth, shiny, and colorful rocks. They put them in their pockets and in their hats. + +They were ready to go back when they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a horn. They looked at the lake and saw a big boat coming closer. It had a flag and some people on it. + +"Tom, what is that?" Lily asked. "Is it a pirate boat?" + +"I don't know, Lily," Tom said. "I have never seen a boat like that before." + +They felt confused and scared. They did not know who the people were or what they wanted. They did not know if they were friendly or mean. + +They grabbed each other's hands and ran down the hill. They wanted to go back to their house and tell their mom and dad what they had seen. They hoped the boat would not follow them or hurt them. + +They ran as fast as they could, holding their flowers and rocks. They did not look back at the lake or the boat. They only looked at their house and their parents, who were waiting for them with a hug and a smile. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their bikes on the road. They have helmets and pads to be safe. Mom and Dad watch them from the porch. + +One day, Sara sees a big hill on the road. She wants to go down fast and feel the wind. She tells Ben, "Let's go down the hill. It will be fun!" + +Ben is not sure. He thinks the hill is too steep and scary. He says, "No, Sara. The hill is too big. We might fall and get hurt. Let's stay here and play." + +Sara does not listen. She is flexible and brave. She says, "I can do it, Ben. You can do it too. Just follow me and repeat what I do. Come on, it will be easy!" + +She pedals hard and goes down the hill. She feels the wind and the speed. She laughs and shouts, "Whee! This is awesome!" + +Ben sees Sara go down the hill. He is worried and curious. He wants to try too. He says, "Okay, Sara. I will follow you and repeat what you do. Wait for me!" + +He pedals hard and goes down the hill. He feels the wind and the speed. He smiles and says, "Wow! This is cool!" + +Mom and Dad see Sara and Ben go down the hill. They are proud and nervous. They say, "Good job, Sara and Ben! You are flexible and brave. But be careful and slow down. The road is not a playground. Come back and have a snack." +Tom and Lily are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books on the carpet. They like to make noises and pretend they are animals. + +"Look, I'm a lion!" Tom says, and roars loudly. He crawls on the carpet and chases Lily. + +"I'm a zebra!" Lily says, and runs away from Tom. She laughs and jumps over the toys and books. + +But then, Lily slips on a book and falls down. She hurts her knee and starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says, and holds her knee. + +Tom stops playing and runs to Lily. He sees that her knee is red and has a small cut. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Are you OK?" Tom says, and hugs Lily. + +Lily sniffles and nods. She shows Tom her knee. + +"It's OK, Tom. It's not a big cut. But it hurts a lot," Lily says. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that his mom has a useful thing for cuts. He gets up and runs to the bathroom. He comes back with a band-aid. + +"Here, Lily. This is a band-aid. It will make your knee feel better," Tom says, and puts the band-aid on Lily's knee. + +Lily smiles and thanks Tom.

She saw a big pot of soup on the stove. It smelled good. She climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. + +"Stop!" Mom said. She ran to the kitchen. "That soup is hot. You can get hurt. And that soup does not belong to you. It is for the neighbors. They are sick. We are going to bring them some soup to make them feel better." + +Lena felt sad. She did not want to hurt herself. She did not want to take the soup from the neighbors. But she was still hungry. She looked at Mom with big eyes. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Lena. "Don't worry, my love. I have some soup for you too. It is in this small pot. It is not hot. It is just right. You can have some soup and some bread. And then we can go and visit the neighbors. Maybe they will let you play with their cat.

We hope you feel better soon." + +"Thank you," the neighbor said. "That is very kind of you. Come in, please. My wife and my son are in the living room. They are also sick. They will be happy to see you." + +They went in the living room. The neighbor's wife and son were on the couch. They had blankets and pillows. They looked sad and weak. They smiled when they saw Mom and Lena. + +"Hello," the neighbor's wife said. "How nice of you to come and bring us some soup. We really appreciate it. We have been feeling very bad for a few days. We have a fever and a sore throat. We can't taste anything. We can't hear anything. Everything is loud and hurts our ears." + +Lena felt sorry for them. She wanted to make them feel better. She said, "I'm sorry you are sick. I hope you get well soon. I like your cat. He is very soft and friendly. Can I play with him?" + +The neighbor's son said, "Sure, you can play with him. His name is Fluffy. He likes to play with balls and strings. He is very funny. He makes me laugh. He is my best friend. He belongs to me. But you can share him with me.

They had shared some soup and some love. +Tom and Jen liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to bounce on the chairs and pretend they were horses. They liked to make noise with the pots and pans and pretend they were drums. They liked to look at the mixer and pretend they were chefs. + +One day, Mom was not home. She told them to be good and not touch anything. But Tom and Jen were bored. They wanted to have fun. They saw the mixer on the counter. It looked shiny and cool. They wanted to see what it could do. + +"Let's play with the mixer!" Tom said. + +"No, Mom said no!" Jen said. + +"Mom is not here. She will not know. Come on, it will be fun!" Tom said. + +He climbed on the chair and reached for the mixer. He turned it on. It made a loud noise. It spun fast. It had two hooks that looked like fingers. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. + +He grabbed a spoon and put it in the mixer. The spoon flew out and hit the wall. Tom laughed. + +"Ha ha, that was funny!" Tom said. + +He grabbed another spoon and did it again. Jen watched. She was scared. + +"Stop, Tom, stop! You will break something!" Jen said. + +"No, I won't. It's just a game. Watch this!" Tom said. + +He grabbed a fork and put it in the mixer. The fork got stuck. The mixer made a louder noise. It shook. It smoked. It sparked. + +"Uh oh, that's not good!" Tom said. + +He tried to turn it off. He could not. He tried to pull the fork out. He could not. He burned his hand. He cried. + +"Help, help! It hurts!" Tom said. + +Jen ran to him. She tried to help him. She could not. She saw the fire. The fire was on the mixer.

They were safe. But the kitchen was not. The kitchen was on fire. The kitchen was gone. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some crayons. They want to make a house for their toys. Sara says, "We need to measure the box. Then we can draw windows and a door." Ben nods and gets a ruler. He tries to measure the box, but it is too big. He says, "The ruler is too small. How can we measure the box?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "We can use our feet. We can walk around the box and count our steps. That will tell us how big the box is." Ben likes the idea. He says, "OK, let's do that." They put the ruler away and start to walk around the box. They count their steps out loud. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +But while they are walking, they do not see a cat sneaking into the box. The cat is black and smooth. It likes to hide in cozy places. It thinks the box is a good place to nap. It curls up inside the box and falls asleep. + +Sara and Ben finish walking around the box. They say, "The box is ten feet long and ten feet wide. That is a big box. Now we can draw windows and a door." They get their crayons and start to draw on the box. They make colorful windows and a door. They also draw flowers and stars and a sun. They are happy with their house. + +They say, "Let's go inside and play with our toys." They open the door and peek inside. They see the cat sleeping in the box. They are surprised and scared. They say, "A cat! A cat is in our house! How did it get in?" The cat wakes up and sees them. It is also surprised and scared. It says, "Meow!" It jumps out of the box and runs away. It wants to escape from the children. Sara and Ben say, "Bye, cat! Don't come back!" They laugh and go inside their house. They play with their toys and have fun. They are happy with their house. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big gray rock near the pond. Ben wanted to climb on it, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Ben said. "You can see the ducks and the fish from up here." + +"No, Ben, it's too high. And the rock looks sour. Maybe it has bugs or dirt on it," Lily said. + +Ben laughed. "Sour? Rocks are not sour, silly. They are hard and smooth. Here, touch it and see." + +He reached out his hand to Lily, but as he did, he heard a loud crack. The rock split in two, and Ben lost his balance. He fell into the pond with a splash. + +"Ben!" Lily screamed. "Mom, help!" + +Mom ran to the pond and pulled Ben out. He was wet and cold and crying. Lily hugged him and said she was sorry. + +"It's okay, Lily. It's not your fault. The rock was bad. It tricked me," Ben said. + +Mom wrapped Ben in a towel and gave him a hug. She said they should go home and change his clothes.

The tree is very high." + +They ran to the tree and started to climb. They held on to the branches and moved up. They felt happy and brave. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, black dog. It was barking and growling. It was running to the tree. It wanted to catch Anna and Ben. + +"Help!" Anna cried. "The dog is coming!" + +"Hurry!" Ben said. "We have to go down!" + +They were fearful. They did not like the dog. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad. They tried to climb down the tree. But the dog was faster. It reached the tree and jumped. It bit the branch that Anna was holding. + +"Ow!" Anna screamed. She let go of the branch. She fell to the ground. She hurt her knee. + +"Anna!" Ben shouted. He jumped down too. He ran to Anna. He hugged her. He was scared. + +The dog was still barking. It was angry. It wanted to bite Anna and Ben. + +But then they heard another noise. It was their mom and dad. They saw the dog and the tree and the children. They ran to them. They shouted at the dog. They scared the dog away. + +"Are you OK?" Mom asked. She picked up Anna. She kissed her knee. + +"We're OK," Anna said. She was crying. She was glad to see Mom. + +"Dad!" Ben said. He ran to Dad. He hugged him.

She thought it was a modern car. + +"Look, Ben, I have a car!" she said. "I can drive to the park and have fun." + +Ben was jealous. He wanted to have a car too. He looked around and saw a small hanger. It was old and had no wheels. He thought it was a boring bike. + +"That's not a car, Anna, that's a hanger!" he said. "You can't drive with that. It's too big and silly." + +Anna was angry. She liked her hanger car. She wanted to show Ben how fast and cool it was. + +"Yes, it is a car, Ben, and it's better than your bike!" she said. "Watch me, I can reveal a secret button and make it fly!" + +She pretended to press a button on the hanger. She lifted it up and made a zooming sound. She moved it around the room. + +"Wow, Anna, that's amazing!" Ben said. He forgot his jealousy. He wanted to play with the hanger car too. "Can I try it, please?" + +Anna smiled.

They both pulled the bottle and shouted. + +"Give me the bottle! It is mine!" Lily said. + +"No, it is mine! I had it first!" Max said. + +They were so angry that they did not see their mom coming.

She waved to Ben and slid down with a big smile. She landed on the ground and laughed. + +"See, Ben, it's easy. Your turn now," she said. + +Ben walked slowly to the slide. He looked up and felt his tummy hurt. He did not want to go up. He wanted to go back to the swings. + +"No, Lily, I don't want to. It's too scary. Let's play something else," he said. + +Lily did not listen. She teased Ben and called him a chicken. She said he was not brave like her.

He had a red cap and a big ball. + +Lily did not answer. She hugged her doll and looked away. + +"Can I play with your doll? She's pretty. I have a ball. We can share." Ben said. He tried to be nice. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to share. She did not want to play. She wanted to be alone. + +"Okay, bye then." Ben said. He shrugged and ran away with his ball. + +Lily felt a little sad. She wished she had a friend. But she did not know how to make one. + +She decided to go to the slide. Maybe that would make her happy. She got up and walked to the slide. But she did not see a rock on the ground. She stumbled over it and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +"Are you okay?" Ben came back and helped her up. He saw her bleeding knee and gave her his ball. "Here, you can have this. It will make you feel better." + +Lily looked at him. He was kind and friendly. He did not laugh at her or be mean to her. He gave her his ball, even though she did not share her doll. + +"Thank you." Lily said. She took his ball and smiled. She felt a little better. + +"You're welcome. Do you want to play with me?" Ben asked. He held out his hand. + +Lily nodded. She gave him her doll. She took his hand. They went to the slide together.

The boy and the girl were rude. They splashed water at Lily and Sam and took their toys. Lily and Sam did not like that. They asked them to stop, but they did not listen. + +"Go away, this is our pool!" the boy said. + +"No, it is not. We can play here too!" Lily said. + +"Find your own toys, these are ours!" the girl said. + +"No, they are not. You took them from us!" Sam said. + +Lily and Sam were angry and sad.

They did not want to share the elevator with the rude boy and girl. They wanted to reply, but they did not know what to say. They felt like crying. + +But then, they had an idea. They smiled at each other and ran into the elevator. They pushed all the buttons on the panel. The elevator started to stop at every floor. + +"What are you doing?" the boy said. + +"Stop that!" the girl said. + +Lily and Sam did not reply. They just laughed and watched the rude boy and girl get annoyed. They knew they would get to their room sooner or later. And they knew their mom and dad would help them get their toys back.

He said, "Hello, I am Tom. I am looking for treasure in the wood. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben and Lily were curious. They asked, "What treasure? Where is it?" + +Tom said, "I have a map. It shows where the treasure is. It is in a hole under a big rock. The treasure is gold and jewels. If we find it, we can be rich too." + +Ben and Lily wanted to see the treasure. They said, "OK, we will help you. Show us the map." + +Tom showed them the map. It had a picture of the wood and a red X. He said, "The red X is where the treasure is. We have to follow the map and find the rock. Come on, let's go." + +They followed Tom and the map. They ran through the wood. They looked for the rock. They did not see any animals. They did not hear any birds. They only saw Tom's coat and hat and bag. They felt tired and thirsty. + +After a long time, they reached the rock. It was very big and heavy. Tom said, "This is it. The treasure is under the rock. We have to move it. Help me push." + +Ben and Lily helped Tom push the rock. They pushed and pushed. The rock did not move. They pushed harder. The rock moved a little. They saw a hole under the rock. They looked inside. There was nothing. No gold. No jewels. Only dirt and worms. + +Tom was angry. He said, "This is not fair. The map lied. There is no treasure. Someone tricked me. I wasted my time and money. I hate this wood." + +Ben and Lily were sad. They said, "We are sorry, Tom. We wanted to see the treasure too. But we also liked the wood. The wood is nice. It has trees and animals and fun. Maybe you can play with us in the wood. Maybe you can be our friend." + +Tom looked at Ben and Lily. He looked at his coat and hat and bag. He looked at the rock and the hole and the dirt and the worms. He thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe the wood is nice. Maybe I can play with you in the wood. Maybe I can be your friend." + +They smiled at Tom. They said, "Yes, you can. Come on, let's go back. We can run and hide and play. We can have fun." + +They left the rock and the hole and the dirt and the worms. They took Tom's hand. They ran through the wood. They saw a deer and a rabbit. They heard a bird. They felt happy. They were friends. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but Lily wanted to see the lion most of all. She liked his big mane and loud roar. She admired the lion and wanted to be brave like him. + +Ben did not like the lion. He thought he was scary and mean. He did not want to go near the cage. He wanted to see the monkeys and the birds. He was miserable and bored. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go see the lion!" Lily said. "He is so cool and strong!" + +"No, Lily, I don't want to see the lion!" Ben said. "He is so bad and fierce!" + +"Please, Ben, just for a little bit!" Lily said. "Mom said we can see the monkeys and the birds later!" + +"No, Lily, I don't want to!" Ben said. He started to cry. + +Mom heard Ben crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben arguing by the lion cage. She hugged them both and said, "What's the matter, my sweeties?" + +"Lily wants to see the lion, but I don't!" Ben said. "He is scary and I don't like him!" + +"Ben wants to see the monkeys and the birds, but I don't!" Lily said. "They are boring and I don't like them!" + +Mom smiled and said, "You know, my sweeties, you don't have to like the same things. It's okay to have different interests and opinions. But you should also respect each other's choices and feelings. How about we make a deal? We can see the lion for a few minutes, and then we can see the monkeys and the birds for a few minutes. That way, you can both enjoy the zoo and learn something new. What do you say?" + +Lily and Ben thought about it and nodded. They agreed to the deal. They held Mom's hand and walked to the lion cage. Lily admired the lion and Ben tried to be brave. Then they walked to the monkey and bird cages. Ben admired the monkeys and birds and Lily tried to be interested. They both learned something new and had fun. They thanked Mom for taking them to the zoo and hugged each other. They were happy and not miserable anymore. +Sam was a stubborn boy. He did not like to sleep at night. He wanted to play with his toys and watch his shows. His mom and dad told him to go to bed, but he said no. He blinked his eyes to stay awake. + +One night, he heard a noise outside his window. He got up and looked. He saw a big, bright star in the sky. It was blinking too.

He talked to the star and told him about his life. He told him about his toys and his shows and his mom and dad. The star listened and blinked. + +Sam felt sleepy. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He told the star he was tired. The star blinked and nodded. He told Sam to go to bed and have sweet dreams. He said he would be there tomorrow night, and every night, to blink at him. + +Sam said goodbye to the star and closed his window. He went to his bed and snuggled with his teddy bear. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He was not stubborn anymore. He was happy. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the yard. One day, they see a large cloud in the sky. It is dark and scary. + +"Look, Tim, a storm is coming!" Sam says. + +"Let's go inside, Sam, it might rain soon!" Tim says. + +They run to the house, but the door is locked. Mom and Dad are not home yet. They left a note that says they will be back soon. + +"What do we do, Tim?" Sam asks. + +Tim thinks for a moment. He sees a big tree in the yard. It has many leaves and branches. + +"Let's go to the tree, Sam. It can be our shelter. It can keep us dry and safe," Tim says. + +They run to the tree and kneel under it. They hug each other and wait for the storm to pass. They hear the wind and the thunder, but they are not afraid. They have each other and the tree. + +Soon, the storm is over.

They have hot chocolate and cookies and talk about the storm. They are happy and warm. +Lily liked to sign. She learned how to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could talk and hear, but she also liked to use her hands to say things. She signed to her mom, her dad, her friends, and even her toys. + +One day, Lily found a hammer in the garage. She thought it was a pretty hammer. It was shiny and had a red handle. She wanted to play with it. She signed to her mom, "Can I have the hammer?" Her mom signed back, "No, Lily. The hammer is not a toy. It is for fixing things. It can hurt you if you are not careful." + +Lily was sad. She really wanted the hammer. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she sneaked back to the garage and took the hammer. She ran to her room and closed the door. She looked around for something to fix with the hammer. She saw her dollhouse. She thought it would be fun to make some new holes in the walls and roof. She lifted the hammer and swung it hard. + +CRASH! The hammer smashed the dollhouse. Pieces of wood and plastic flew everywhere. Lily gasped. She had broken her dollhouse. She loved her dollhouse. It was her favorite toy. She felt a sharp pain in her hand. She looked and saw blood. The hammer had cut her skin. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and the crying. She ran to Lily's room and opened the door. She saw the mess and the blood. She was angry and worried. She signed to Lily, "What did you do? Why did you take the hammer? I told you it was not a toy. You could have hurt yourself badly. Look what you did to your dollhouse. You ruined it. How do you feel now?" + +Lily sobbed. She signed to her mom, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong. I wanted the hammer. I thought it was pretty. I wanted to fix things. But I broke things. I broke my dollhouse. I broke my hand. I feel bad. I feel sorry. I love you, Mom." + +Her mom hugged her. She signed to her mom, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you are not hurt worse. But you have to listen to me. The hammer is not a toy. It is dangerous. You have to be careful with things. You have to respect your toys. They are not for breaking. They are for playing. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She signed to her mom, "I understand, Mom. I'm sorry. Can you fix my dollhouse? Can you fix my hand?" + +Her mom smiled. She signed to her mom, "We can try, Lily. We can try. But first, let's clean your hand and put a bandage on it. Then we can see what we can do with the dollhouse. Maybe we can glue some pieces back together. Maybe we can make it pretty again. But it will never be the same as before. You have to remember that. You have to be more careful next time. OK?" + +Lily smiled. She signed to her mom, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. I love you, Mom." + +The end. +Lily and Max were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They got in the car and drove to the airport. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, sweetie," Mom said. "We're going to fly in a big plane to a sunny place with a beach and a pool." + +Lily and Max loved planes. They liked to watch them in the sky and make zoom noises. They were excited to fly in one. They got out of the car and followed Mom and Dad to the check-in. + +"Can I hold my bag?" Max asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It's heavy," Dad said. He gave Max his small bag with wheels. + +Max felt proud. He pulled his bag along the floor. He wanted to show everyone he was a big boy. He saw a big sign with a picture of a plane. He ran towards it. + +"Max, wait!" Lily shouted. + +Max didn't hear her. He ran faster. He didn't see the bump on the floor. He tripped and fell. His bag flew out of his hand. It hit a lady who was walking by. The lady screamed. Her coffee cup fell out of her hand. It spilled on a man who was sitting on a bench. The man jumped up and yelled. His newspaper flew in the air. It landed on a dog who was on a leash. The dog barked and ran away. The leash slipped out of the owner's hand. The owner chased the dog. + +Max looked around. He saw the mess he made. He felt scared and sorry. He started to cry. + +"Max!" Mom and Dad ran to him. They picked him up and hugged him. + +"Are you okay, buddy?" Dad asked. + +"I'm sorry, Dad. I dropped my bag," Max sobbed. + +"It's okay, Max. It was an accident. You didn't mean to hurt anyone," Mom said. + +They apologized to the lady, the man, and the owner. They helped them clean up. They found the dog and gave it back to the owner. They checked in their bags and got their tickets. + +"Let's go to the gate. We don't want to miss our plane," Dad said. + +They walked to the gate. They saw their plane. It was big and shiny. They boarded the plane and found their seats. + +"Look, Lily. We're going to fly in the plane," Max said. + +"I know, Max. It's going to be fun," Lily said. + +They buckled their seat belts. They listened to the pilot. He said they were ready to take off. The plane started to move. It went faster and faster. It lifted off the ground. It flew in the sky. + +Lily and Max looked out the window. They saw the clouds and the sun. They smiled. + +They were going on vacation. It was going to be perfect. +Lily was a very obedient girl. She always did what her mom and dad told her. She ate her vegetables, brushed her teeth, and went to bed on time. She liked to play with her dolls and read her books. + +One day, Lily's mom gave her a new toy. It was a balloon that could increase and decrease. Lily was very happy. She thanked her mom and ran to her room. She played with the balloon for a long time. She made it big and small, and bounced it on the floor and the bed. + +But then, Lily heard a loud noise. It was her brother, Ben. He was not very obedient. He always did what he wanted. He ate candy, made a mess, and stayed up late. He liked to play with his cars and trucks and make them crash. + +Ben saw Lily's balloon and wanted it. He ran to her room and grabbed it. Lily was very sad. She asked him to give it back. But Ben said no. He said it was his balloon now. He made it very big and threw it in the air. + +The balloon flew out of the window. Lily and Ben ran to the window and looked. The balloon was floating away. It was getting smaller and smaller. Lily cried. Ben was sorry. He said he was sorry and hugged her. + +Lily's mom came and saw what happened. She was not happy.

She put it on the table and told them not to touch it until after dinner. She went to the living room to watch TV. + +Lily and Ben sneaked into the kitchen. They saw the cake and wanted a taste. They climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. But they were not careful and knocked it over. The cake fell on the floor and broke into pieces. They were scared and sad. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily cried. + +"Mom will be so mad at us!" Ben said. + +They heard their mom coming. They quickly grabbed some ribbons and tried to tie the cake back together. They made a big mess of frosting and crumbs and ribbons. + +Their mom saw them and the cake. She was shocked and angry. She shouted at them. + +"What are you doing? How could you ruin the cake? You are very naughty!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said in a small voice. + +"We're sorry, mom. We just wanted a bite. We tried to fix it." + +Their mom sighed and calmed down. She saw their sad faces and their ribbons. She remembered how much they loved to tie things. She felt sorry for them too. + +She hugged them and said. + +"I know you love cake, but you have to wait for the right time. And I know you love to tie things, but not with the cake.

We'll learn." + +Their mom smiled and said. + +"Come on, let's clean up this mess. And don't worry, I have another cake in the freezer.

They print many things on the paper. They print flowers, stars, cars and animals. They are happy. + +One day, they want to print something new. They look around the room. They see a big window. Outside the window, it is dark. They see the moon and some lights. + +"Let's print the dark!" Tom says. + +"How do we print the dark?" Lily asks. + +"We use black crayons. And we leave some spaces for the moon and the lights." Tom says. + +They take a big sheet of paper. They start to print the dark. They make black lines and circles and shapes. They leave some white spaces for the moon and the lights. They work hard. + +They finish their print. They hold it up to the window. They compare it with the dark outside. + +"It looks good!" Lily says. + +"It looks modest." Tom says. + +"What does modest mean?" Lily asks. + +"It means not too big, not too small, not too bright, not too dull. It means just right." Tom says. + +"I like modest." Lily says. + +They smile. They are proud of their print. They hang it on the wall. They go to bed. They dream of the dark. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash and pretend they were spies. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They had a secret base under the slide, where they hid their special gadgets. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. He had a big, black car that looked like a rocket.

He said he was going to destroy Tom and Lily's base and their cars. + +Tom and Lily did not like Max. They thought he was mean and bossy. They did not want him to ruin their game. They decided to stop him. They made a plan. They waited until Max was not looking and sneaked up behind him. They grabbed his car and ran to their base. They opened the car and looked inside. + +They did not find a missile. They found a banana. Max had lied. He did not have a missile. He had a banana. Tom and Lily laughed. They peeled the banana and ate it. It was yummy. They threw the peel on the ground. + +Max saw what they did. He was angry. He ran after them. He slipped on the banana peel and fell down. He hurt his nose and cried. Tom and Lily felt sorry for him. They helped him up and gave him a band-aid. They asked him why he lied. + +Max said he lied because he wanted to play with them. He said he did not have any friends. He said he thought they would like him if he had a missile. He said he was sorry. Tom and Lily said they were sorry too. They said they did not care about missiles. They said they liked cars and gadgets and spies. They said they would be his friends if he was nice. + +Max smiled. He said he was happy. He said he would be nice. He said he liked cars and gadgets and spies too. He said he had a tall hat that could reveal secrets. He asked them if they wanted to see it. Tom and Lily said yes. They followed him to his car. They put on the hat and looked around. They saw many things they did not see before. They had fun. They played together until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and hugged. They said they would play again tomorrow. They were happy. They were friends. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big road with many cars. They want to cross the road, but their mom says no. + +"Road is dangerous. Cars are fast. You can get hurt," mom says. + +"But we want to see the park. The park has swings and slides and flowers," Tom says. + +"Maybe later. Now we stay here. Look, there is a toy store. We can go there and see the toys," mom says. + +Tom and Jen follow mom to the toy store. They see many toys. They see dolls and cars and balls and books. They like the toys. They want to touch the toys. + +"Can we play with the toys, mom?" Jen asks. + +"Only a little. Be careful. Don't break the toys," mom says. + +Tom and Jen pick some toys. Tom picks a car. Jen picks a doll. They play with the toys. They are happy. + +But then, Tom sees a button on the car. He wants to press the button. He thinks the button will make the car go. + +He presses the button. But nothing happens. The car does not go. The car is broken. + +Tom is sad. He pokes the car. He pokes the button. He pokes the wheels. He pokes the windows. He pokes everything. But the car is still broken. + +"Stop poking the car, Tom. You will make it worse," Jen says. + +"I want to make it go. I want to make it work. It is a bad car. It is a broken car," Tom says. + +He pokes the car harder. He pokes it too hard. He breaks the car more. He breaks the button. He breaks the wheels. He breaks the windows. He breaks everything. + +The car falls apart. The car is in pieces. The car is very broken. + +Tom is shocked. He is scared. He is sorry. He drops the car. He looks at mom.

He says sorry. He says sorry to mom. He says sorry to Jen. He says sorry to the toy store. + +But sorry is not enough. Mom pays for the car. Mom pays a lot of money. Mom takes Tom and Jen home. Mom does not take them to the park. Mom does not let them play. Mom makes them sit in their room. + +Tom and Jen are sad. They are very sad. They wish they did not poke the car. They wish they did not break the car. They wish they listened to mom. They wish they stayed away from the road. +One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big ball that was red and shiny. She wanted to play with it, so she ran to it and picked it up. + +"Can I bounce it, mom?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful not to lose it," her mom said. + +Lily bounced the ball high and low, and had a lot of fun. She liked how the ball felt in her hands, soft and smooth. She laughed when the ball made a funny sound when it hit the ground. + +But then, something happened. A deer came out of the woods and saw the ball. The deer was curious and wanted to see what it was. It ran to the ball and nudged it with its nose. + +The ball bounced away from the deer, and the deer followed it. It bounced and bounced, and the deer chased it. Lily saw the deer and the ball, and she was scared. + +"Mom, mom, the deer took my ball!" she cried. + +Her mom saw the deer and the ball, too. She was not scared, but she was worried. + +"Don't worry, Lily, we'll get your ball back," she said. "Let's go and talk to the deer." + +They walked slowly and gently to the deer, and her mom said in a soft voice: + +"Hello, deer, we are sorry to bother you, but that ball belongs to Lily. She likes to play with it, and she misses it. Can you please give it back to her?" + +The deer looked at her mom and Lily, and then at the ball. It realized that the ball was not a toy for it, but for the little girl. It felt sorry for taking it, and it wanted to be nice. It pushed the ball with its nose to Lily, and nodded. + +"Thank you, deer, you are very kind," Lily said. She took the ball and hugged it. She was happy to have it back. + +The deer smiled and nodded again. It was happy to make the little girl happy. It turned around and ran back to the woods. + +Lily and her mom waved goodbye to the deer, and thanked it again. They went back to the park, and Lily bounced the ball some more. She was careful not to lose it again, and she had a lot of fun. She liked the ball, and she liked the deer, too. They were both soft and nice. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys on the table. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They like to make noises and pretend they are in different places. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am a fast car!" Tom says, pushing his red car along the table. + +"I am a princess, and this is my castle!" Lily says, stacking some blocks and putting a doll on top. + +They are having fun, but they are also making a mess. The table is full of toys and some of them fall on the floor. + +"Oops, be careful, Tom!" Lily says, as Tom's car knocks over her castle. + +"Sorry, Lily, I didn't see it!" Tom says, picking up his car and some blocks. + +They keep playing, but they are also pushing the table. The table is old and not very strong. It has four legs, but one of them is loose and wobbly. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the table move!" Tom says, shaking the table with his hands. + +"Don't do that, Tom, you will break the table!" Lily says, holding on to her doll. + +But Tom doesn't listen. He thinks it is funny to make the table move. He shakes it harder and harder, until... + +CRACK! + +The table breaks. One of the legs snaps and the table falls to the side. All the toys slide off the table and crash on the floor. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Lily says, looking at the broken table and the scattered toys. + +"I don't know, Lily, I was just playing!" Tom says, looking scared and sad. + +They hear their mom coming. She sees the broken table and the mess. She is not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what happened here?" she says, in a loud voice. + +They look at each other. They know they are in trouble. They wish they had been more careful with the table. They wish they had listened to Lily. They wish they had played with their toys on the floor. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. But today it is raining. They are bored. + +"Can we go outside, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"No, it is wet and cold. You can play inside with your toys," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben do not want to play with their toys. They have played with them many times. They want to do something new. + +They see a big jar of beans on the kitchen table. Mom is making soup with them. Anna has an idea. + +"Let's play with the beans!" she says to Ben. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Ben says. + +They take the jar of beans and run to their room. They open the jar and pour the beans on the floor. They make shapes and patterns with the beans. They pretend the beans are cars and animals and people. + +They are having fun. But they are also making a mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees the beans everywhere. She is angry. + +"What are you doing?" she screams. "You are wasting the beans! You are making a mess! You are naughty!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They did not mean to make Mom scream. They did not know the beans were for soup. They thought they were for playing. + +They start to cry. They say they are sorry. + +Mom sees their tears. She feels sorry too. She hugs them and says it is OK. + +She helps them clean up the beans. She says they can keep some beans for playing, but not all of them. She says they can also help her make the soup. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say they love Mom. They say they love beans. They say they are not bored anymore. +Lily was a chubby girl who liked to eat cookies. She knew her mom hid the cookies on the top shelf of the kitchen cabinet. She wanted to get some cookies, but she was too short to reach the shelf. She saw a chair and a key on the table. She had an idea. + +She dragged the chair to the cabinet and climbed on it. She took the key and tried to unlock the cabinet. She heard a click and opened the door. She saw a big jar of cookies. She smiled and reached for it. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She came into the kitchen and saw Lily on the chair. She was not happy. + +"Lily, you are not supposed to take the cookies without asking. They are for after dinner. And you are not supposed to use the key. It is dangerous. You could fall and hurt yourself." + +Lily felt bad. She knew her mom was right. She put the jar back on the shelf and gave the key to her mom. She got down from the chair and said sorry. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you love cookies. But you have to wait and share. How about we make some cookies together? You can help me mix the dough and cut the shapes. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded. She liked to help her mom. She hugged her mom and said thank you. They went to the counter and started to make cookies. Lily was happy. She learned a lesson and had fun. +Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were in a fancy castle. Lily had a pink dress and a crown for her doll. Tom had a sword and a cape for his doll. + +"Let's move to the ballroom and dance with the prince and princess," Lily said. She picked up her doll and walked to the other side of the garden, where they had a blanket and some cushions. + +"No, let's move to the dungeon and fight the dragon," Tom said. He picked up his doll and ran to the other side of the garden, where they had a cardboard box and some sticks. + +"But I don't want to fight the dragon, I want to dance," Lily said. She followed Tom and tried to take his doll. + +"But I don't want to dance, I want to fight," Tom said. He pulled his doll away and pushed Lily. + +They both started to cry and shout. Their mom heard them and came to the garden. + +"What's going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Lily wants to dance and I want to fight," Tom said. + +"Tom wants to fight and I want to dance," Lily said. + +Mom sighed and sat down with them. She hugged them and said, "You know, you don't have to do the same thing all the time. You can play different games and still be friends. You can take turns and share. You can also use your spirit and imagination to make up new stories that you both like." + +"Really?" Lily and Tom asked. + +"Really," Mom said. "How about this: you can move to the forest and meet a fairy and a knight. The fairy can teach you some magic and the knight can teach you some skills. Then you can work together to help the king and queen of the fancy castle. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Tom smiled and nodded. They liked that idea. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Then they picked up their dolls and moved to the forest. They had fun playing with their spirit and imagination. Mom watched them and smiled too. She was happy they were friends again. +Lily likes to design things. She likes to draw and cut and glue and make. She has many papers and crayons and scissors and stickers.

She draws some hay and some carrots and some water for the horses. She puts some stickers of stars and flowers on the stable. She is very happy with her design. + +She shows her stable to her mom. "Look, mom, I made a stable for my horses!" she says. "Do you like it?" + +Mom smiles and hugs Lily. "I love it, Lily. You are very good at designing things. Your stable is very nice. Your horses will be very happy there." + +Lily beams and runs to her room. She puts her stable on the floor and puts her horses inside. She plays with them and talks to them. She pretends they are running and jumping and having fun. She is very happy too. She loves to design things. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the farm. They loved to see the animals, especially the chickens. The chickens were cheerful and made funny noises. Lily and Tom hoped to have a chicken of their own someday. + +One day, they saw a big basket near the barn. They peeked inside and saw a fluffy yellow chick. It looked so cute and soft. They decided to take it out and play with it. + +"Look, we have a chicken now!" Lily said happily. + +"Let's name it Fluffy," Tom said. + +They carried Fluffy to the field and ran around with it. They gave it some grass and water. They hugged it and kissed it. They were very happy. + +But they did not see the farmer coming. He was looking for his chick. He saw Lily and Tom with Fluffy and got very angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my chick?" he shouted. + +He ran towards them and snatched Fluffy from their arms. He scolded them for stealing his chick. He told them to go away and never come back. + +Lily and Tom were very sad and scared. They cried and ran away. They hoped to see Fluffy again, but they never did. They lost their chicken and their friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They use the blocks to make a building.

"You two did a great job!" + +She bends down and looks at the building. She sees something inside the window. It is a small toy cat. The cat is white and fluffy. It has blue eyes and a pink nose. It is adorable. + +"Who is this?" Miss Lee asks, pointing at the cat. + +"That is Snowy," Lily says. "She is my cat. She likes to be in the building. She is cozy and warm." + +"She is very cute," Miss Lee says. "Can I pet her?" + +Lily nods. She picks up Snowy and gives her to Miss Lee. Miss Lee strokes Snowy's fur. Snowy purrs and rubs her head against Miss Lee's hand. + +Lily and Ben smile. They are happy to share their building and their cat with Miss Lee. They think Miss Lee is very nice. They hug her and say thank you. Miss Lee hugs them back and says you're welcome. They all feel good. +Anna and Ben were playing in the old barn. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They saw a big cobweb in the corner. It was shiny and sticky. + +"Look, a cobweb!" Anna said. "Maybe there is a spider in it." + +"Let's go and see," Ben said. He was not afraid of spiders. He hoped to see a big one. + +They walked closer to the cobweb. They saw something moving in it. It was not a spider. It was a butterfly. It was trapped in the cobweb. It had fair wings with many colors. + +"Oh, poor butterfly!" Anna said. "It can't fly away. It is sad." + +"We have to help it," Ben said. He reached out his hand to the cobweb. He tried to be gentle and not hurt the butterfly. + +"Be careful, Ben," Anna said. "Don't touch the cobweb. It is sticky. You might get stuck too." + +Ben nodded. He used his fingers to break the cobweb. He freed the butterfly. It fluttered in his hand. It was happy. + +"Yay, you did it!" Anna said. She clapped her hands. She smiled. + +"Look, it likes me," Ben said. He showed Anna the butterfly. It was resting on his palm. It was fair. + +They heard a noise. It was their mom. She was calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat," she said. + +"OK, mom, we're coming," Anna said. She looked at Ben and the butterfly. "What will you do with it?" + +"I will let it go," Ben said. He hoped the butterfly would find a nice flower. He opened his hand and let the butterfly fly away. It waved its fair wings and flew out of the barn. + +"Bye, butterfly," Anna and Ben said. They waved their hands. They followed their mom to the house. They were hungry. They had a fun adventure. +Ben likes to see his dad go to work. He sees him put on a nice shirt and a tie. Ben wants to wear a tie too. He asks his dad to help him. + +His dad is patient. He shows Ben how to make a knot. He says, "You have to cross the tie, then pull it under, then over, then through." Ben tries to do the same. He crosses the tie, then pulls it under, then over, then through. But his knot is messy and loose. + +Ben is sad. He says, "I can't do it. It's too hard." His dad hugs him. He says, "It's okay.

Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily said, running over to Max. She took the stone and rubbed it with her fingers. It felt cold and smooth. She saw little sparkles in the sun.

"Lily, Max, it's time to come in. You need to wash your hands and have a snack. You must be very hungry and tired." + +"We are, mom!" Lily and Max said, getting up from the dirt. They looked at their pile of minerals and smiled. "Can we keep them, mom? They are our treasures." + +"Of course you can, sweeties. But you need to wash them first. They are very dirty. Come on, let's go inside." Mom said, holding their hands. + +Lily and Max followed mom inside. They washed their hands and their minerals. They ate some cookies and milk.

She says, "Lily, what are you doing? That is not a paper to print on. That is a delicate paper. It is Daddy's paper. He needs it for his work. You have to be careful with delicate things. They can break or tear easily. You have to ask before you use them." + +Lily feels sad. She did not know the paper was delicate. She did not know it was Daddy's paper. She says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to print the yacht. I think it is pretty. Can I keep it?" + +Mommy sighs. She says, "You can keep it, Lily. But you have to promise me you will not print on delicate things again. And you have to help me clean the wall. And you have to say sorry to Daddy when he comes home." + +Lily nods. She says, "I promise, Mommy. I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy hugs her. She says, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. But next time, please use your own paper to print." +Lily and Max are at the park with their mom and dad.

Lily and Max clap and laugh. + +"That is amazing. He is a smart dog," Lily says. + +"Can we give him some of our ice cream?" Max says. + +"No, no, ice cream is not good for dogs.

It does not fit her anymore. + +Sara is sad. She says, "Mom, my dress is too tight. I can't wear it. I don't have a favorite dress anymore." Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't be sad, Sara.

The boy pulled it back. They both pulled and pulled until the car broke in half. The horn stopped working. The wheels fell off. The car was ruined. + +The boy started to cry. He said, "You broke my car. You are mean. You are bad." Ben felt bad. He did not mean to break the car. He just wanted to play with it. He said, "I am sorry. I did not mean to break your car. Here, you can have my cars. I have many cars. You can play with them." He gave the boy his cars. The boy stopped crying. He said, "Thank you. You are nice. You are good. Do you want to play with me?"

But then he saw something he had never seen before. It was a big rock in the middle of the path and it had an exercise book on it. + +The bear was curious, so he picked up the book. He opened it and read: "Little bears, take a deep exercise every day!" The bear was surprised and he spoke out loud "A deep exercise? What could that be?" + +Just then, he heard a voice. It was coming from behind a nearby tree. It said "Come over here and I will show you". + +The bear walked to the tree and found a little rabbit. The rabbit said "A deep exercise is when you take a deep breath and hold it for a few seconds.

He saw a dog and he wanted to pet it but he wasn't sure it was polite to. + +Tom observed the dog cautiously and he noticed that it was wagging its tail.

The dog enjoyed it and they both had a lot of fun. + +At the end of the day, Tom realized that it was important to observe before making a decision.

He tried as hard as possible to swim back, but the water was too deep and choppy. He tried to call for help, but no one could hear him. + +Then, the crab heard a huge roar.

She yelled "It's disgusting!" + +The other friend looked and said, "It's just an old shoe. Nobody wants it." But the first friend said she wanted to keep it. They argued until finally, the first friend wouldn't give in. She took the heel with her and they went home. + +In the end, the disagreement ruined their friendship.

We heard it will keep us warm in the colder months. Want to try it on?" + +The small rabbit agreed and one of the rabbits wrapped the fur around him. He instantly felt cozy and warm. + +Suddenly there was a loud bang and the rabbits all scattered. The small rabbit wretched off the fur and looked around to see the cause of the noise. + +It was a hunter with a gun and a large net. The hunter's eyes were full of anger. He had not expected such a normal looking patch of grass to contain so many rabbits. + +The hunter scrambled around and tried to catch all the rabbits.

Its wheels started to make a funny sound and then it stopped. John looked upset. + +Sara noticed what happened and said, "Never mind, I can replace your car with mine". She went running to get it, but when she saw the car she looked sad. The car was very fragile and it had some broken pieces. + +John said "It's OK. We can still race with this one too." So, they put their cars at the start of the track again and this time John shouted "Go!" + +The fragile car moved slowly and John's car won easily. But in the process, the fragile car was even more broken. + +John and Sara looked at it sadly and realized that they wouldn't be able to replace it anymore.

It was full of vegetables that needed picking. + +John said, "Let's get to work." + +They picked the vegetables for the next few hours and soon, the garden was all clear.

When they were there, they found lots of customers waiting. + +John said, "People are so hungry. Let's see if we can get them some food." + +He sold the vegetables to the customers while Sarah carried the basket around. Soon, they had no more vegetables left. + +John smiled. "We did lots of work today. I'm glad the people don't have to be hungry anymore!" +Jill and Jack were playing in the park. Jill had a bright pink dress that flowed in the wind and Jack had a reliable blue shirt. They were swinging on the swing set that day, feeling how it was so fun to swing. + +Jack said "Look Jill, I can swing so high! Maybe we can swing even higher if we go to the camp tomorrow." + +So the next day the two went to the camp. Jack was so excited to swing on the big swings. He ran and ran until he got to the big swings, but when he and Jill sat on the swings, they both realized that the swings were not reliable. The ropes were frayed, and the swings seemed unsafe. + +Jack said "Jill, we should swing some other time. This swing isn't safe at all. Let's go." + +But it was too late. Suddenly, the swing snapped and both Jack and Jill fell to the ground. They were both hurt and scared. Jack had a few scrapes and bruises and Jill had a twisted ankle. + +The two were very sad.

She looked up at the sky and said in a soft voice, "I wish I could fly!" + +The other animals saw her sadness and came over to try and help. They said, "Maybe if you have hope, you can fly!" + +The bird was surprised, but she had a little hope in her heart. She closed her eyes and flapped her wings as hard as she could. Suddenly, she started to rise! Yet, she was still too small to stay in the sky. + +The other animals cheered, but the bird felt disappointed. + +Then, one of the other birds said, "Look, that's rare! Not all of us get to fly in the sky and experience what the sky is like. Have hope and don't give up." + +The bird was happy and hopeful again. She knew she had something special and that she should never give up. + +Moral of the story: Hope can help us to do the things that we thought were impossible. When something is rare, it should never be taken for granted. +One sunny day, Mommy, Daddy and their three year old daughter went to the beach. The three year old wanted to go swimming, but before she went, Mommy opened up a cooler and pulled out some cold drinks. + +"Oh wow!" the three year old said, pointing to the cold drinks.

"Why don't you have a break before you go swimming?" + +The three year old smiled, and then sat down and opened the cooler to grab a snack.

The girl went inside for dinner but she knew she could still play on her new swing later. The end. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was walking in the dark with her doll, looking for something. Suddenly, she found a piece of paper.

"Someone I love very much." +Once upon a time, there was a bunny. His name was Bob. He had a big job to do: he had to get to the switch in a dark room. + +The bunny was frightened.
