She set her dolls and animals there. + +One day, Sara found a new thing in the attic. It was a box with a lock. She wondered what was inside. She tried to open it, but it was too hard. She looked for a key, but she could not find one. She asked her mom, but she said it was not for her. She asked her dad, but he said it was a secret. She was very curious. + +The next day, Sara had a plan. She waited until her mom and dad were busy. She took a hammer from the garage. She went to the attic. She found the box. She hit the lock with the hammer. It broke. She opened the box. She saw something shiny. It was a necklace with a big red stone. It was very pretty. She put it on. She felt happy. + +But then, she heard a noise. It was a growl. She turned around. She saw a big shadow. It had claws and teeth. It was a monster. It came from the box. It was angry. It wanted the necklace. It wanted to hurt Sara. She was very scared. + +She ran to the window. She saw her mom and dad in the yard. She yelled for help. They heard her. They looked up.

They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Look, I found a flashlight!" Max said, holding up a shiny thing with a button. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, what can we do with it?" Lily asked, curious. + +"Let's paint with light!" Max said, excited. He turned on the flashlight and moved it around the wall. He made shapes and letters and animals with the light. + +"That's cool!" Lily said, clapping. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, here you go!" Max said, handing her the flashlight. Lily took it and started to paint with light too. She made a flower, a star, and a smiley face. + +They had fun painting with light for a while, until they heard a knock on the door. + +"Who is it?" Lily asked, turning off the flashlight. + +"It's me, Mommy!" a voice said. "I'm home from work!" + +Lily and Max ran to the door and opened it. They saw their mommy standing there, holding a big bag. + +"Hi, Mommy!" they said, hugging her. + +"Hi, my loves!" Mommy said, smiling. "I have a surprise for you!" + +She opened the bag and took out two things. One was a green book with pictures and words. The other was a box of paints and brushes. + +"I got you a new book and some paints!" Mommy said. "Do you like them?" + +"Yes, we love them!" Lily and Max said, happy. + +"Great! Let's go to the kitchen and read the book together. Then you can paint whatever you want!" Mommy said. + +"Yay!" Lily and Max said, following her. + +They went to the kitchen and sat on the table. Mommy read them the book, which was about a frog and a fly. They laughed at the funny story and learned some new words. Then they opened the box of paints and started to paint on paper. They painted the frog, the fly, and many other things. They used all the colors, but their favorite was green. + +They had a lot of fun painting with paints and with light. They were happy and proud of their creations. They showed them to Mommy, who praised them and hung them on the fridge. + +They hugged Mommy and thanked her for the surprise. They said they loved her very much. + +"I love you too, my loves!" Mommy said. "You are my best painters!" +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to eat pasta with sauce. Mom makes sauce with tomatoes, cheese and meat. It smells good. + +One day, Mom says she has to go out for a while. She tells Tom and Lily to be good and not touch the sauce. She puts the sauce in a large pot on the stove. She says she will be back soon. + +Tom and Lily nod. They say they will be good. But when Mom leaves, they look at the sauce. It looks yummy. They want to taste it. + +Tom says he will get a spoon. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the pot. Lily says no. She says they should wait for Mom. She says Mom will know if they touch the sauce. + +Tom does not listen. He grabs the pot handle. But the pot is heavy and hot. Tom drops the pot. The sauce spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. It burns Tom's hand. Tom cries. + +Lily runs to Tom. She hugs him. She says she is sorry. She says they should have waited for Mom. She says Mom will help them. + +Mom comes back. She sees the sauce and the mess. She sees Tom and Lily. She is angry and sad. She asks them what happened. They tell her the truth. They say they are sorry. + +Mom sighs. She says she is glad they are not hurt. She says she loves them. She says they should not touch the sauce again. She says they should know better. She says she will clean the mess.

He lets Ben and Mia choose one stick each. They go to a big field with holes and flags. Dad shows them how to hit the ball with the stick. + +"Try to make the ball go in the hole," Dad says. "That is how you win." + +Ben goes first. He swings the stick hard and hits the ball. The ball flies far and lands near the flag. "Wow, good job, Ben!" Dad says. + +Mia goes next. She swings the stick softly and hits the ball. The ball rolls a little bit and stops. "Oops, too slow, Mia," Dad says. + +Mia feels sad. She wants to hit the ball far like Ben. She tries again and again, but the ball does not go far. She gets tired and hot. She sees a big tree with shade. She runs to the tree and sits under it. + +"Dad, can you bring me some water?" Mia asks. "I am very hot and thirsty." + +"Sure, Mia," Dad says. He goes to the car and brings a bottle of water. He gives it to Mia and sits with her. He hugs her and says, "Don't worry, Mia. You are doing great. Golf is hard, but it is also fun. You just need to practice more and have fun. Do you want to try again?" + +Mia smiles and nods. She drinks some water and feels better. She picks up her stick and goes back to the field. She swings the stick and hits the ball. The ball goes farther than before. Mia claps and laughs. Dad claps and laughs too. + +"See, Mia, you can do it!" Dad says. "You are a good golfer. I am proud of you." + +Mia feels happy. She likes to play golf with Dad and Ben. She thinks golf is fun. She wants to play more and more. +One day, a little boy named Sam went to the beach with his dad. He saw a big boat with a shiny anchor. He wanted to touch it, but his dad said no. + +"That anchor is very heavy and sharp. It can hurt you if you are not careful. Stay away from it, Sam," his dad said. + +But Sam did not listen. He waited until his dad was busy talking to a friend. Then he ran to the boat and climbed on it. He reached for the anchor, but it was too heavy for him. It slipped from his hand and fell on his foot. Sam cried out in pain. + +His dad heard him and ran to him. He lifted the anchor and saw Sam's foot was bleeding. He wrapped it with a cloth and carried him to the car. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I was naughty. I did not listen to you," Sam said. + +"It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But you have to learn to obey and be careful. The anchor hurt you because you did not respect it. Now you have a serious wound that needs to heal. It will take time and medicine. You have to be brave and patient," his dad said. + +Sam nodded and hugged his dad. He learned his lesson. He never played with the anchor again. He also learned to listen to his dad and be safe. He was a good boy. +Lily and Max like to race. They race on their bikes, they race on their feet, they race on their scooters. They have fun when they race, but they also want to win. + +One day, they see a big poster. It says there is a race for kids. The winner gets a prize. The prize is a princess dress and a crown.

He smiles and says, "Hello, kids. What do you want to eat?" + +Tom and Lily show him the menu. They say, "Pizza, please." + +The man nods and says, "Okay, I will make your pizzas. They will be ready soon." + +He goes to the kitchen. Tom and Lily wait. They are very hungry. + +They see a big jar on the table. The jar has a label that says "Hot Sauce". Tom is curious. He opens the jar. He smells the sauce. It smells spicy. + +He says to Lily, "Do you want to try some hot sauce? It looks fun." + +Lily shakes her head. She says, "No, thank you.

He feels a little better. He says, "I am sorry. I was silly. I wanted to try the hot sauce. But it was too hot. It hurt my mouth." + +The man says, "It's okay. I forgive you.

They smell good. + +Tom and Lily say, "Thank you." + +They eat their pizzas. They are happy. They are not hungry anymore. + +They learn a lesson. They do not eat hot sauce again. They only eat pizza.

They saw big trains and small trains, fast trains and slow trains, loud trains and quiet trains. They liked the trains very much. + +"Can we go on a train, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Not today, sweetie. We are just here to watch them," mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They were thoughtful children who listened to their mom. + +They walked along the platform and saw a long metal bar.

It was sitting on a branch and singing. + +"Look, Sue, a pretty bird!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and take it home!" + +"No, Tom, that's not nice!" Sue said. "The bird belongs in the forest. We should behave and leave it alone." + +But Tom did not listen to Sue. He grabbed a twig and threw it at the bird. The bird was scared and flew away, but the twig hit another branch and bounced back. It hit Tom in the eye and made him cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom screamed. "It hurts, it hurts!" + +Sue ran to Tom and tried to help him. She was sorry for Tom, but also angry with him. She said, "Tom, you were naughty and mean. You deserved that. Now we have to go home and tell Mom what you did. She will be very mad at you." + +Tom was sad and ashamed. He wished he had behaved and listened to Sue. He learned a hard lesson that day. He never threw twigs at birds again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects and see what they could do. Lily saw a big ant on a leaf. She picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found an ant. It is very small and black. It has six legs and two feelers. Do you want to hold it?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded and reached out his hand. But the ant did not like to be held. It bit Tom's finger and made him cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The ant bit me! It hurts! Let it go, Lily, let it go!"

I didn't know the ant would bite you. Are you okay?" Lily said. + +Tom sniffed and nodded. He looked at his finger and saw the band-aid. It had a funny picture of a dinosaur on it. He smiled a little. + +"Thank you, Lily. The band-aid is funny. It makes me feel better. Maybe we can find a nicer insect next time. One that does not bite." Tom said. + +Lily smiled too. She was glad that Tom was not angry with her. She saw a butterfly flying by. It was very pretty and colorful. It did not look like it would bite. + +"Look, Tom, a butterfly! Maybe we can catch it and see its wings. It looks very nice. Do you want to try?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He and Lily ran after the butterfly. They hoped to find a new friend. They liked to play with insects. They were very curious and brave. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with boats. They have a big tub of water and some toy boats. They make a port with some blocks and sticks. They send their boats to the port and back. + +One day, a new boy comes to play. His name is Ben. He has a big black boat.

They say it is the best boat. +Lily liked to sort her toys by color. She had a big box of toys, and she put the red ones in one pile, the blue ones in another, and so on. She was very good at sorting, and she liked to make patterns with her toys. + +One day, she had a new friend over. His name was Max, and he was very popular at school. He had many toys, too, but he did not sort them. He just threw them around and made a mess. Lily did not like that. + +"Max, why don't you sort your toys?" Lily asked. She wanted to show him how fun sorting was. + +"Sort? What is sort?" Max said. He did not know what Lily meant. + +"Sort is when you put things that are the same together. Like this." Lily pointed to her piles of toys. "See? All the red ones are here, and all the blue ones are there." + +Max looked at Lily's piles. He did not see why she did that. He thought it was boring. + +"That is silly. I like to play with all my toys. I don't care what color they are." Max said. He grabbed a red car and a green dinosaur and made them crash into each other. "Vroom! Roar!" + +Lily felt sad. She did not like how Max played with her toys. She wished he would sort them with her. She thought he would like it if he tried. + +"Please, Max, try to sort with me. It is fun. You can make patterns, too." Lily said. She hoped Max would listen. + +"Patterns? What are patterns?" Max said. He did not know what Lily meant. + +"Patterns are when you make things look nice and pretty. Like this." Lily showed him how she made a star with her yellow toys, and a heart with her pink toys. + +Max looked at Lily's patterns. He did not see why she did that. He thought it was silly. + +"That is not fun. That is just shapes. I like to make noises and stories with my toys. I don't care what they look like." Max said. He picked up a purple bear and a orange truck and made them talk to each other. "Hello, I am a bear. Do you want to go for a ride?" "Sure, I am a truck. Hop in." + +Lily felt angry. She did not like how Max talked to her toys. She wished he would make patterns with her. She thought he would like it if he tried. + +"Max, stop it. You are ruining my toys. You are not my friend."

I am just playing. You are my friend." Max said. He tried to get some toys from Lily's box. + +Lily did not want to share her toys with Max. She did not want to play with him. She wanted him to go away. + +"Go away, Max. You are not nice. You don't know how to sort or make patterns. You don't know anything." Lily said. She pushed Max away from her box. + +Max felt hurt. He did not like how Lily pushed him. He did not want to go away. He wanted to play with her. + +"Lily, please don't push me. You are not nice. You don't know how to play or make noises or stories. You don't know anything." Max said. He pushed Lily back. + +Lily and Max started to fight. They pushed and pulled and yelled at each other. They did not act like friends. They acted like enemies. + +The end. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the living room. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a red car that made noises when she pushed it. She liked to pretend that she was driving to different places, like the park or the zoo. + +One day, she heard a loud noise from the bathroom. It sounded like water and something else. She was curious, so she left her car and walked to the bathroom door. She opened it a little and peeked inside. + +She saw her big brother, Tom, in the shower. He was singing a funny song and using a shampoo bottle as a microphone. He did not see Lily, because he had soap in his eyes. Lily thought he was silly, but she also wanted to join him. She liked to sing and play in the shower, too. + +She decided to surprise him. She grabbed a towel from the rack and wrapped it around her. Then she sneaked into the shower and said, "Boo!" Tom was so startled that he dropped the bottle and screamed. He rubbed his eyes and saw Lily. He was not happy. He said, "Lily, what are you doing here? This is my shower! Go away!" + +Lily was sad. She did not mean to scare him. She just wanted to have fun. She said, "Sorry, Tom. I heard you singing and I wanted to sing with you. Can I stay, please?" Tom looked at her and sighed. He knew she was only a little girl. He said, "Okay, fine. But only for a little while. And don't touch my shampoo. It's for big kids only." + +Lily smiled. She was glad that Tom let her stay. She thought he was a nice brother, even if he was sometimes grumpy. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very clever. You know a lot of songs." Tom smiled, too. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are very cute. You know how to make me laugh." They sang and played in the shower until the water ran cold. Then they dried off and went back to the living room. Lily picked up her car and Tom picked up his book. They were happy. They liked each other. They were a good team. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a red motorcycle. Ben has a blue motorcycle. They make the motorcycles go fast on the floor. + +"Look, my motorcycle is fast!" Lily says. + +"My motorcycle is fast too!" Ben says. + +They race their motorcycles on the floor. They go zoom, zoom, zoom. They have fun. + +But then, Lily sees something. She sees a big picture on the wall. The picture has a red motorcycle and a blue motorcycle. They look like Lily's and Ben's motorcycles. + +"Hey, Ben, look!" Lily says. "The picture has our motorcycles!" + +Ben looks at the picture. He sees the red motorcycle and the blue motorcycle. They match Lily's and Ben's motorcycles. + +"Wow, you're right!" Ben says. "The picture matches our motorcycles!" + +Lily and Ben are happy.

But you have to share and be gentle with them. How about we fix the book together and then read it together?" + +Ben and Mia nod and smile.

But the paper was too big. She tried to cut it with scissors. But the scissors were too sharp. She cut her finger. She cried. + +Her mom hugged her and put a band-aid on her finger. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll help you wrap the present. You can make a card for Ben. That will make him happy." + +Lily nodded. She took a piece of paper and some crayons. She drew a picture of Ben and her. She wrote, "Happy birthday, Ben. I like you. From Lily." She smiled. She liked her card. + +She put the card in an envelope. She wrote Ben's name on it.

He won't want me at his party." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "No, Lily. That's not true. Ben will still like you. He will still want you at his party. Accidents happen. We can fix this. We can get a new present. We can make a new card. We can still go to the party. It will be fun." + +Lily sniffed. She said, "Really, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Really, Lily. Trust me. Come on, let's go. We don't want to be late." + +Lily nodded. She wiped her tears. She followed her mom. She hoped her mom was right. She hoped Ben would still like her. She hoped the party would be fun. + +She did not know that Ben had a surprise for her. He had made a cake for her. He had put spicy peppers in it. He wanted to make her laugh.

"You are right, Anna. We both win. Can we play again?" Ben says. "Yes, but we have to wait. Mom said we have to clean up first," Anna says. They put the cards back in the box and put the box on the shelf. Then they hug and smile. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and holds the sides. She slides down fast and says, "Whee!" + +Ben wants to slide too. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. But he does not hold the sides. He lifts his arms and says, "Look at me!" + +But then he slides too fast and bumps his toe on the ground. He cries, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" + +Lily runs to him and says, "Are you okay, Ben?" + +Ben shows her his toe. It is red and hurts. Lily says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You have to be careful on the slide.

You are a good friend." +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a huge tree with many leaves. Sara says, "Let's make a house with the leaves. The tree can provide us with shade and shelter." + +Ben likes the idea. He says, "OK, but we need something to hold the leaves together. Do you have any paper or glue?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "No, I don't have any paper or glue. But I have some string and scissors in my backpack. We can cut the string and tie the leaves with it." + +Ben says, "That sounds good. Let's do it." They run to Sara's backpack and take out the string and scissors. They start to cut the string and collect the leaves. They make a big pile of leaves and string. + +They work hard and have fun. They make a wall of leaves around the tree. They leave a small opening for the door. They make a roof of leaves on top of the wall. They make a floor of leaves inside the wall. They make a bed of leaves in the corner. They make a table and chairs of leaves in the middle. They make a window of leaves on the other side. + +They finish their house. They are very proud and happy. They say, "Wow, look at our house. It is so cozy and beautiful. We made it with the tree, the leaves, the string and the scissors. We are very clever and creative." + +They go inside their house. They sit on the chairs and pretend to eat and drink. They lie on the bed and pretend to sleep. They look out the window and pretend to see birds and flowers. They laugh and play. They enjoy their house. They thank the tree for providing them with the leaves. They hug each other and say, "We are the best friends ever." +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in the house. One day, they find a door they have never seen before. The door is in the hall, next to the big stair. The door is old and dusty. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. + +"No, it's scary!" Sue says. + +But Tom is curious. He turns the knob and pushes the door. It makes a loud creak. Behind the door, there is a dark stair that goes up. + +"Wow, look!" Tom says. "Maybe there is a secret room up there!" + +He starts to climb the stair. Sue follows him, but she is afraid. The stair is filthy and broken. There are cobwebs and spiders everywhere. + +"Tom, wait!" Sue says. "We should go back. Mom and Dad will be mad if they find us here." + +But Tom does not listen. He wants to see what is at the top of the stair. He reaches the last step and sees another door. He opens it and gasps. + +"What is it?" Sue asks. + +Tom does not answer. He is too shocked. He sees a room full of toys and books and pictures. But the toys are old and dirty. The books are torn and faded. The pictures are of a boy and a girl who look like Tom and Sue. + +"Who are they?" Sue questions. + +Tom does not know. He feels a cold shiver down his spine. He hears a voice behind him. + +"Hello, Tom. Hello, Sue. We have been waiting for you." + +Tom and Sue turn around and scream. They see two ghosts who look like the boy and the girl in the pictures. They are pale and sad. They smile and reach out their hands. + +"Come and play with us. We are your brother and sister." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They try to make the tallest tower they can. + +But sometimes the tower falls down. It makes a loud noise. It makes Ben and Mia sad. They do not like when the tower falls down. They want to make a big tower that does not fall down. + +They think of a way to make the tower stronger. They use some blocks to support the tower. They put them under the tower and on the sides of the tower. They make the tower more stable. They are happy. + +They keep adding more blocks to the tower. They make it higher and higher. They are proud of their tower. They think it is the best tower ever. + +But then they hear a bark. It is True, Ben's dog. True is a noisy dog. He likes to run and jump and play. He sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He runs towards the tower and jumps on it. + +The tower falls down. It makes a louder noise than before. It makes Ben and Mia very sad. They cry. They do not like True. They think he is a bad dog. + +But True does not know he did something wrong. He thinks he was playing. He sees Ben and Mia crying and feels sorry. He goes to them and licks their faces. He tries to make them happy. He wags his tail. + +Ben and Mia stop crying. They see True's tail and his tongue. They see he is a good dog. He did not mean to break their tower. He just wanted to have fun. They forgive True. They hug him. + +They decide to make a new tower. But this time they make it with True. They let him help them with the blocks. They make a tower that is not too high and not too low. They make a tower that is just right for them and True. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of plastic blocks. They could snap the blocks together and make anything they wanted. Lily liked to make houses and cars, and Ben liked to make animals and rockets. + +"Look, Lily, I made a lion!" Ben said, holding up a yellow and brown block creature. "It has a big mane and a long tail. Roar!" + +"That's nice, Ben, but I made a car!" Lily said, showing him a red and blue block vehicle. "It has four wheels and a door. Vroom!" + +They were having fun, but then they saw something else in the box. It was a soft, fuzzy toy. It was a bunny, with long ears and a pink nose. It looked very cute and cuddly. + +"Wow, what's that?" Lily asked, reaching for the bunny. + +"It's mine!" Ben said, grabbing it first. "I saw it first. It's my bunny!" + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling on the bunny. "I want it. It's my bunny!" + +They both wanted the bunny, and they both pulled hard. They did not want to share. They did not hear the toy make a ripping sound. They did not see the stuffing come out. They did not notice the bunny's ear snap off. + +"Ouch!" Ben cried, dropping the bunny. He looked at his hand and saw blood. The bunny's ear had a sharp plastic piece inside. It had cut his finger. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked, dropping the bunny too. She saw his finger and felt sorry. She forgot about the bunny. She only cared about her brother. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said, looking at the bunny. He saw its ear and felt sad. He forgot about the bunny too. He only cared about his sister. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They did not want to fight. They wanted to play. They picked up the bunny and saw its ear. They decided to fix it. They got some tape and some cotton. They taped the ear back on and stuffed the cotton inside. They made the bunny look good again. + +They smiled at each other and at the bunny. They decided to share it. They took turns holding it and petting it. They said it was their bunny. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a pink wool hat that she likes very much. She puts it on her head and pretends to be a princess. Ben has a toy car that he likes very much. He makes it zoom around the floor and pretends to be a racer. + +"Look at me, Ben, I'm a princess!" Anna says. "I have a pink wool hat and a pretty dress!" + +"Look at me, Anna, I'm a racer!" Ben says. "I have a fast car and a cool helmet!" + +They play happily for a while, until Ben decides to try something new. He sees a chair and thinks it would be fun to drive his car on it. He climbs on the chair and puts his car on the edge. He pushes it gently and watches it roll down. + +"Wow, that's fun!" Ben says. "I'm going to do it again!" + +He climbs on the chair again and puts his car on the edge. But this time, he pushes it too hard and it flies off the chair. Ben tries to catch it, but he loses his balance and falls off the chair too. He lands on the floor with a thud and starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. "That hurts!" + +Anna hears Ben's cry and runs to him. She sees him lying on the floor, holding his knee. She also sees his car on the other side of the room, with a dent on the hood. She feels sorry for him and wants to help him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asks. "Do you need a hug?" + +Ben nods and sniffles. Anna takes off her pink wool hat and wraps it around his knee. She gives him a hug and kisses his cheek. + +"There, there, Ben, it's okay," Anna says. "Your car is still good, and your knee will get better. You're brave and strong, and I love you." + +Ben smiles and hugs her back. He feels a little better and thanks her for being nice. + +"Thank you, Anna, you're the best," Ben says. "I love you too. And I like your pink wool hat. It's soft and warm." + +They hug each other again and then pick up their toys. They decide to play something else, something safer and gentler. They are happy and they are friends. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sack on a bench. They are curious. + +"Who owns this sack?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone left it here," Jen says. + +They go closer to the sack. They hear a noise inside. It sounds like a meow. + +"Is there a cat in the sack?" Jen wonders. + +"Let's open it and see," Tim says. + +They open the sack carefully. They see a small, gray cat. It looks scared and hungry. + +"Hello, kitty. Are you lost?" Tim says softly. + +The cat comes out of the sack. It rubs against Tim's leg. It purrs. + +"I think it likes you, Tim," Jen says. + +"Can I keep it? Can I own it?" Tim asks. + +Jen thinks for a moment. She knows Tim loves animals. She also knows his mom is nice. + +"Maybe you can. But you have to ask your mom first," Jen says. + +"Okay. Let's take it home. We can give it some food and water," Tim says. + +They pick up the cat and the sack. They walk to Tim's house. They are happy. The cat is happy too. They walk slow. They don't want to scare the cat. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They had a magnifying glass to examine them better. + +"Look, Lily, a ladybug!" Ben said, holding the glass over a red and black bug. "It has six legs and spots." + +"Wow, Ben, it is so pretty!" Lily said, leaning closer. "Can I hold it?" + +"Okay, but be gentle," Ben said, and carefully picked up the bug. He put it on Lily's palm. + +The ladybug tickled Lily's hand. She giggled and watched it crawl. Then it opened its wings and flew away. + +"Bye, ladybug!" Lily and Ben said, waving. + +They were feeling hot and tired from playing. They decided to go inside and have a nap. + +They went to their room and lay down on their beds. They closed their eyes and dreamed of ladybugs and flowers. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with trucks in the park. Tom has a big red truck. Ben has a small blue truck. They make vroom-vroom noises and push their trucks on the grass. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He has no truck. He sees Tom's big red truck and wants it. He waits until Tom is not looking and grabs the truck. He runs away with it. + +"Hey, that's my truck!" Tom shouts. He chases after Sam. Ben follows him. They catch up with Sam near the slide. "Give me back my truck!" Tom says. + +"No, it's mine now!" Sam says. He holds the truck tight. He is mean. + +Tom and Ben are angry. They try to pull the truck from Sam. Sam pulls back. They tug and tug. The truck breaks in half. They all gasp. + +"That's not nice!" a voice says. It is the park lady. She is harsh. She sees the broken truck and the boys. She scolds them. "You should not steal or fight. You should share and be kind. Now say sorry and go home." + +Tom, Ben and Sam feel bad. They say sorry to each other and to the park lady. They go home with their parents. They have no truck to play with. They are sad. +Sara and Tom like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But today, Sara is not feeling well. She has a hot head and a sore throat. Mom says she has to stay home and rest. + +Tom is sad. He wants to play with Sara. He asks Mom if he can go to the park by himself. Mom says no. She says he is too little and the park is too far. She says he has to stay with Sara and help her feel better. + +Tom is bored. He looks for something to do. He sees a thermometer on the table. He does not know what it is. He thinks it is a toy. He picks it up and puts it in his mouth. He makes a funny face. He does not like how it tastes. + +Sara sees Tom with the thermometer. She knows what it is. She is nosy. She wants to know what Tom is doing. She gets up from the bed and walks to the table. She says, "Tom, that is not a toy. That is a thermometer. Mom uses it to check if we have a fever. You have to be careful with it. It can break and hurt you." + +Tom is surprised. He takes the thermometer out of his mouth. He says, "Sorry, Sara. I did not know. I was just curious. I wanted to play with something. I miss the park." + +Sara smiles. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I miss the park too. But we have to stay home and get well. Maybe tomorrow we can go to the park together. But for now, let's play with something else. How about we read a book or draw a picture?" + +Tom nods. He says, "Okay, Sara. That sounds fun. You are a good sister. I love you." + +Sara hugs Tom. She says, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good brother. And you are very brave to try the thermometer. But next time, ask Mom first." +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But Mom said no. She said it was too cold and wet outside. She said they had to stay in their room and play with their toys. + +Tom and Lily were sad and bored. They did not want to play with their toys. They wanted to go to the park. They tried to ask Mom again, but she was busy. She had to work on her laptop and make phone calls. She said they had to be quiet and not bother her. + +Tom and Lily decided to make their own park in their room. They used their blankets and pillows to make a tent. They used their chairs and books to make a bridge. They used their stuffed animals and dolls to make friends. They pretended to swing and slide and run and laugh. + +But they made too much noise. Mom heard them and came to their room. She was angry. She said they had to stop playing and clean up their mess. She said they had to be good and listen to her. She said they could not go to the park today or tomorrow. + +Tom and Lily were sad and sorry. They did not want to make Mom angry. They wanted to make her happy. They cleaned up their mess and said they were sorry. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. She said she was sorry too. She said she was too busy and stressed. She said she would try to find time to take them to the park soon. She said they could watch a movie and have some popcorn together. Tom and Lily smiled and agreed. They liked to watch movies and have popcorn with Mom. They hoped they could go to the park soon. +Ben is a deaf boy. He cannot hear with his ears. He can see with his eyes and feel with his hands. He likes to play with his toys and his dog. He also likes to pick flowers in the garden. + +One day, he sees a new girl in his street. She has long hair and a pink dress. She is holding a ball. Ben wants to play with her. He walks to her and smiles. He points to the ball and the garden. + +The girl looks at him and says, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" But Ben does not hear her. He nods and takes her hand. He leads her to the garden. + +They play with the ball and the dog. They pick flowers and make a crown. They laugh and have fun. Lily talks to Ben, but he does not answer. He uses his hands to show her what he means. + +Lily thinks Ben is shy. She likes him anyway. She says, "You are a nice boy. Do you want to be my friend?" But Ben does not hear her. He hugs her and gives her the flower crown. He points to his ears and shakes his head. + +Lily understands. She says, "Oh, you are deaf. You cannot hear me. That's okay. I can learn your signs. We can still be friends." She hugs him back and puts the flower crown on his head. They smile and play some more. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. Tim had a big navy boat that was blue and white. Sam had a small red boat that was fast and shiny. + +One day, they saw a new boy at the pond. He had a jolly face and a green hat. He also had a boat, but it was not a toy. It was a real boat that he could sit in and row. He said his name was Ben and he wanted to play with them. + +Tim and Sam were curious about Ben's boat. They asked him if they could try it. Ben said yes, but only one at a time. He said he would go first and show them how to row. He got in his boat and started to move away from the shore. + +Tim and Sam waited for their turn. They watched Ben's boat go fast and slow, left and right. They thought it looked fun. But then they saw something that made them angry. Ben was using his boat to bump into their toy boats. He was trying to remove them from the pond. He was laughing and saying, "My boat is better than yours!" + +Tim and Sam shouted at Ben to stop. They said he was being mean and rude. They said he was not their friend. They ran to the edge of the pond and tried to save their toy boats. But Ben was too far away. He did not listen to them. He kept bumping into their toy boats and making them sink. + +Tim and Sam felt sad and mad. They did not like Ben. They wished he would go away. They wished they had their toy boats back. They hugged each other and said, "We are still best friends. We don't need Ben or his boat." +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They pretend that they are driving to a restaurant to have lunch. Lily is the driver and Ben is the passenger. + +"Where do you want to eat, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"I want to eat pizza, Lily. Pizza is yummy and cheesy," Ben says. + +"Okay, pizza it is. Let's go to the pizza place," Lily says. She makes a vroom sound with her mouth and steers the car to the couch. + +They park the car and get out. They sit on the couch and pretend that it is a table. Lily picks up a magazine and pretends that it is a menu. + +"What do you want to drink, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"I want to drink juice, Lily. Juice is sweet and fruity," Ben says. + +"Okay, juice it is. I want to drink water, Lily. Water is good and healthy," Lily says. + +She puts down the magazine and pretends to call the waiter. + +"Hello, waiter. We are ready to order. We want one pizza and two drinks. One juice and one water. Please hurry, we are hungry," Lily says. + +She hangs up and smiles at Ben. + +"Good job, Lily. You ordered very well. I hope the pizza is hot and crispy," Ben says. + +"Me too, Ben. I hope the water is cold and clear," Lily says. + +They wait for a few minutes and pretend to chat. Then they hear a knock on the door. + +"Who is it?" Lily asks. + +"It's me, the waiter. I have your pizza and drinks. Here you go," a voice says. + +Lily and Ben get up and run to the door. They open it and see their dad holding a real pizza box and two cups. + +"Surprise! I heard you ordering pizza and I decided to get you some. I also got you juice and water. But be careful, the pizza is hot and the water has minerals. They are good for you, but they might taste funny," their dad says. + +"Wow! Thank you, dad. You are the best waiter ever. We love pizza and juice and water. Can we eat now?" Lily and Ben say. + +"Of course, you can. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and enjoy your lunch. But don't forget to wash your hands first," their dad says. + +Lily and Ben hug their dad and follow him to the kitchen. They wash their hands and sit down. They open the pizza box and see a big cheese pizza. They take a slice each and bite into it. It is hot and crispy and yummy. They sip their juice and water. They are sweet and fruity and good. They smile and laugh and have a fun lunch. They are happy and full. +Ria and Rob are twins who like to play outside. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers.

He likes to talk to Ria and Rob and tell them stories. + +One day, Ria and Rob are playing with their ball in the yard. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. They have a lot of fun. But then, the ball goes too high and lands on the roof of their house. Ria and Rob are sad. They cannot reach the ball. They do not know what to do. + +They hear a loud caw from above.

I am glad to help you. Now, let us play some more!" He joins them in their game and they have more fun. They laugh and play until the sun sets. They are very grateful for their reliable raven friend. +Sara and Tom liked to play with gems. They had many gems of different colors and shapes. They kept their gems in a box under the bed. They liked to pretend they were pirates or kings or queens with their gems. + +One day, Sara and Tom wanted to store their gems in a new place. They looked around the house for a good spot. They saw a big jar on the shelf in the kitchen. The jar was empty and had a lid. Sara said, "Let's store our gems in the jar. It will look pretty and no one will find them." + +Tom agreed. They took their box of gems and climbed on a chair to reach the jar. They opened the lid and started to put their gems in the jar. They made a rainbow of colors in the jar. + +But then, they saw something unusual in the jar. It was a small, shiny, green gem. It looked different from their other gems. It had a strange mark on it. Sara said, "Wow, look at this gem. It's so unusual. I wonder where it came from." + +Tom said, "I don't know, but I want it. It's the best gem ever. Give it to me." He reached for the gem, but Sara pulled it away. She said, "No, it's mine. I saw it first. You have enough gems already." + +They started to fight over the gem. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not notice that the jar was tipping over. The jar fell off the shelf and crashed on the floor. The gems spilled out and rolled everywhere. The unusual gem flew out of their hands and landed in the sink. + +Sara and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at the mess they made. They felt sorry and scared. They heard their mom coming. They did not know what to do. They wished they had not fought over the gem. They wished they had stored their gems in the box under the bed. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big light in the sky. It is the sun. The sun is light and warm. + +"Look, Ben, the sun is smiling at us!" Sara says. + +"No, it is not. The sun is hot and mean. It hurts my eyes," Ben says. + +Sara is sad. She likes the sun. She thinks the sun is her friend. + +"Why are you mean, Ben? The sun is nice. It gives us light and makes the flowers grow," Sara says. + +Ben is angry. He does not like the sun. He thinks the sun is his enemy. + +"I don't care. The sun is bad. It makes me sweat and burns my skin," Ben says. + +He slaps Sara on the arm. Sara cries. She feels pain and hurt. + +"Ow, Ben, why did you slap me? That is not nice. That is mean," Sara says. + +Ben does not say sorry. He runs away. He hides behind a tree. + +Sara is alone. She is sad and scared. She looks at the sun. The sun is still light and warm. + +"Sun, are you still my friend?" Sara asks. + +The sun does not answer. But it shines a little brighter. It makes a rainbow in the sky. + +Sara smiles. She sees the colors. She feels happy and safe. + +"Thank you, sun. You are my friend. You are light and nice," Sara says. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Ben falls off the swing and hurts his arm. He cries a lot. Lily runs to him and hugs him. She supports him and helps him get up. + +They go to the nurse. The nurse looks at Ben's arm and says he needs to go to the hospital. Lily is scared. She does not want Ben to go away. She asks the nurse if she can go with him. The nurse says yes, but she has to call her mom first. + +Lily calls her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom says she will come to the park and take them to the hospital. Lily is happy. She waits with Ben and the nurse. She tells Ben stories and jokes to make him feel better. She gives him her teddy bear to hold. + +Soon, Lily's mom arrives. She hugs Lily and Ben and thanks the nurse. She drives them to the hospital. Lily sits next to Ben and holds his hand. She tells him not to be afraid. She says they will visit him every day until he gets better. + +At the hospital, the doctor puts a cast on Ben's arm. He says Ben is brave and strong. He gives him a sticker and a lollipop.

She says it is a sign of their friendship. Ben says he likes it too. He says Lily is the best friend ever. They hug. They are happy. +Lily liked to test things. She liked to see what would happen if she pushed a button, or poured water, or made a noise. She was curious and smart, but sometimes she made a mess or a trouble. + +One day, she found a flashlight in her room. She turned it on and off, and saw a bright light. She wondered what else she could do with it. She went to the living room, where it was dark, and shone the light on the wall. She saw a shadow of her hand. She moved her fingers and made different shapes. She giggled and had fun. + +Then she saw a shadow of a cat. It was her cat, Max, who was sleeping on the couch. She shone the light on him and saw his shadow move. She thought it was funny and tried to make him chase the light. But Max did not like it. He woke up and hissed. He was scared and angry. He scratched Lily's hand and ran away. + +Lily cried. Her hand hurt and she felt bad. She did not mean to hurt Max. She loved him and wanted to play. She turned off the flashlight and put it away. She looked for Max, but he was hiding. She said sorry, but he did not come out. + +She was sad and lonely. She wished she had a friend. Then she heard a soft meow. She turned around and saw Max. He had come out of his hiding place. He looked at her with his big eyes and rubbed his head against her leg. He forgave her and wanted to cuddle. He was compassionate and kind. + +Lily smiled and hugged him. She said thank you and kissed his fur. She learned a lesson. She still liked to test things, but she also had to be careful and respectful. She and Max were friends again. They snuggled on the couch and watched the shadows on the wall. They were happy and peaceful. +Lily and Tom were kids who liked to joke a lot. They joked with their friends, their teachers, and their parents. Sometimes, they joked too much and hurt other people's feelings. But they did not say sorry, because they thought it was funny. + +One day, they decided to joke with their dog, Rex. They took his bone and hid it under a pillow. Then they called him and said, "Rex, Rex, come here! We have a big surprise for you!" Rex ran to them, wagging his tail. He was happy and excited. + +But when he saw the pillow, he smelled his bone. He jumped on the pillow and tried to get his bone. He did not know that the pillow was on the couch, and the couch was near the window. He was careless and did not look where he was going. + +He pushed the pillow and the bone off the couch, and they fell out of the window. Rex barked and followed them. He jumped out of the window too. He did not see that the window was high, and the ground was hard. He was hurt and sad. + +Lily and Tom heard a loud thud and a whimper. They ran to the window and saw Rex lying on the ground. He was not moving. They were scared and sorry. They cried and said, "Rex, Rex, please wake up! We are sorry, we did not mean to joke with you! We love you, Rex!" + +But it was too late. Rex was gone. Lily and Tom learned a hard lesson. They learned that jokes can be cruel and dangerous. They learned that they should be careful and kind. They learned that they should not joke with those who love them. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys and eat yogurt. One day, their mom said they had a new baby sister. She brought her home from the hospital and showed them. + +"Welcome, Anna!" Mom said. "She is your sister and you have to be nice to her." + +Tim and Sam looked at Anna. She was very small and had no hair. She made funny noises and smelled bad. + +"I don't like her," Tim said. "She is ugly and noisy." + +"Me too," Sam said. "She takes mom's time and our yogurt." + +They decided to ignore Anna and play with their toys. But mom said they had to share their toys and their yogurt with Anna. She said Anna was poor and needed their help. + +"That's not fair!" Tim said. "She has nothing and we have everything. Why do we have to give her our things?" + +"Because she is your sister and you have to love her," Mom said. "She has nothing because she is new. You were new once too. You had nothing and I gave you everything. Now you have to do the same for Anna." + +Tim and Sam thought about what mom said. They remembered when they were new and had nothing. They remembered how mom gave them everything and loved them. They felt sorry for Anna. She was new and had nothing. She needed their help and love. + +They went to Anna and gave her some of their toys and yogurt. They smiled at her and said, "Welcome, Anna! We are your brothers and we love you." + +Anna smiled back and made a happy noise. She grabbed their toys and yogurt and played with them. Mom hugged them and said, "I'm proud of you, Tim and Sam. You are good brothers and good sons." +Tom liked to test things. He liked to see what would happen if he mixed water and paint, or if he threw his ball at the wall, or if he hid his sister's doll. He was very creative, but sometimes he made a big mess. + +One day, he found a big book of stories on the shelf. He wanted to test the stories. He opened the book and saw many pictures and words. He could not read the words, but he liked the pictures. He saw a picture of a boy who climbed a beanstalk, and a picture of a girl who ate a red apple, and a picture of a wolf who dressed like a grandma. + +He decided to test the first story. He took some beans from the kitchen and planted them in a pot. He watered them and waited. He hoped they would grow into a big beanstalk, like in the picture. He wanted to climb the beanstalk and see what was up there. + +But nothing happened. The beans did not grow. Tom was sad. He thought the story was not true. He decided to test the second story. He took a red apple from the fridge and bit it. He hoped it would make him fall asleep, like in the picture. He wanted to see if a prince would come and kiss him. + +But nothing happened. The apple did not make him fall asleep. Tom was bored. He thought the story was not fun. He decided to test the third story. He took a red hood and a basket from his sister's room and put them on.

She said, "Tom, what are you doing? That's my hood and my basket! And why did you take my beans and my apple? You are a naughty boy! You need to clean up your mess and say sorry!" + +Tom was scared. He thought his sister was like the wolf. He said, "I'm sorry, I was just testing the stories. I wanted to see if they were true. But they were not. They were just stories." + +His sister said, "Of course they are just stories, Tom. They are not real. They are creative. They are for reading and imagining, not for testing. You can't test everything, Tom. Some things are just for fun." + +Tom said, "Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I didn't know. Can you read me the stories, please? I want to hear them and imagine them." + +His sister said, "Okay, Tom. I will read you the stories, if you promise to be good and not test them again. And if you help me clean up your mess." + +Tom said, "I promise. Thank you, sister. You are very nice." + +They hugged and smiled. They cleaned up the mess and sat on the couch. His sister opened the book and read him the stories. Tom listened and imagined. He liked the stories. He thought they were very creative. He did not test them anymore. He learned to enjoy them. +Lily was curious about the big house next door. She saw many people go in and out every day. She wondered what they did inside. One day, she asked her mom if she could visit the house. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't visit the house. It is not our house. It is a place where people work and help others. They provide food and clothes and toys for people who need them. They are very kind and generous," her mom explained. + +Lily nodded, but she still wanted to see the house. She decided to sneak out of her backyard and walk to the house. She saw a big sign that said "Community Center".

What is your name?" the lady asked. + +"Lily," Lily said shyly. + +"That's a lovely name. Do you like books?" the lady asked. + +"Yes, I do. But I can't read this one. It has big words," Lily said. + +"That's okay. I can help you. This is a book about animals. Do you like animals?" the lady asked. + +"Yes, I do. I have a dog. His name is Spot. He is brown and white and fluffy," Lily said. + +"That's wonderful. I have a cat. Her name is Fluffy. She is black and white and soft. Do you want to see a picture of her?" the lady asked. + +"Yes, please," Lily said. + +The lady took out her phone and showed Lily a photo of her cat. Lily smiled and said, "She is very cute. Can I pet her?" + +"Maybe someday. She is at home right now. But you can pet this," the lady said. She gave Lily a stuffed animal. It was a tiger. It was orange and black and fuzzy. + +Lily hugged the tiger and said, "Thank you. He is very nice. Can I keep him?" + +"Of course. He is yours. He is a gift from the Community Center. We like to provide toys for children who visit us. We want them to be happy and have fun," the lady said. + +Lily was very happy. She thanked the lady again and said, "You are very kind and generous. I like the Community Center. Can I come back?" + +"Sure, you can. You are always welcome here. But you should ask your mom first. She might be worried about you. Where is she?" the lady asked. + +Lily realized she had done something wrong. She had left her mom without telling her. She felt sorry and scared. She said, "She is at home. I sneaked out. I was curious about the house. I'm sorry. I have to go." + +The lady understood. She said, "It's okay. I'm glad you came. But you should always tell your mom where you are going. She loves you and wants you to be safe. Do you want me to walk you home?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please. And can you tell her I'm sorry?" + +"Of course. Come on, let's go. And don't forget your tiger. He will keep you company," the lady said. + +She took Lily's hand and walked her home. She knocked on the door and saw Lily's mom. She introduced herself and explained what happened. She apologized for the trouble and praised Lily for being curious and brave and polite. + +Lily's mom was relieved and grateful. She thanked the lady and hugged Lily. She said, "I'm so glad you are safe. I was worried about you. I'm sorry I didn't let you visit the house. I didn't know it was such a nice place. Maybe we can go together next time. Would you like that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I would. I like the house. I like the lady. I like the tiger. And I love you, mom." + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my curious and sweet and smart girl." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls.

He picked up another crab and gave it to Lily. Tom and Lily held the crabs in their hands. They felt the crabs tickle their fingers. They smiled and giggled. They said, "Thank you, they are very cute." The tall man smiled too. He said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like them." He poured more water on the crabs and the hole. He said, "Do you want to help me pour water on them?" Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, please." They took turns to pour water from the bucket. They had fun with the tall man and the crabs. They learned something new. They made a new friend. +Jill and Tom were friends. They liked to play and read books. One day, they found a big book in the park. It had many pictures and words. They wanted to read it. + +"Let's read this book," Jill said. "Maybe it has a wonder story." + +"OK," Tom said. "But it is cold. We need to find a warm place." + +They looked around. They saw a big house. It had a chimney and smoke. They thought it was warm inside. + +"Let's go to that house," Tom said. "Maybe they will let us read the book there." + +They walked to the house. They knocked on the door. A man opened the door. He had a mean face and a big beard. He looked at them and the book. + +"What do you want?" he asked. + +"We want to read this book," Jill said. "Can we come in? It is cold outside." + +The man snatched the book from Jill's hands. He slammed the door in their faces. He locked the door. He laughed. + +"Ha ha ha! This is my book now. You can't have it. Go away, you little pests!" + +Jill and Tom were sad and scared. They cried. They had no book and no warm place. They ran away from the house. They never saw the book or the man again. They wished they had never found the book. It was a bad day. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to go on the swings and the slide. They see a lady with a big hat and a long dress. She has a lot of bags and a small dog. The lady looks weird to Lily and Ben. + +The lady comes near the swings. She says hello to Lily and Ben. She asks them if they want to see her dog. Lily and Ben are curious. They say yes. The lady opens one of her bags. She takes out a toy dog. It is not a real dog. It is made of plastic and fur. It has a button on its back. The lady pushes the button. The toy dog barks and moves. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They think the toy dog is funny. They laugh. They want to touch the toy dog. The lady lets them. She says the toy dog is her friend. She says she has more friends in her bags. She opens another bag. She takes out a toy cat. It is also made of plastic and fur. It has a button on its back. The lady pushes the button. The toy cat meows and moves. + +Lily and Ben are amazed. They think the toy cat is cute. They smile. They want to see more friends. The lady opens another bag. She takes out a toy snake. It is also made of plastic and fur. It has a button on its back. The lady pushes the button. The toy snake hisses and moves. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They think the toy snake is scary. They scream. They run away from the lady. They realize the lady is not nice. She is weird. They do not want to play with her. They go to their mom. They tell her about the lady and her toys. Their mom hugs them. She says they did the right thing. She says they should stay away from the lady. She says they should only play with real animals and nice people. Lily and Ben agree. They are happy. They go back to the swings and the slide. They forget about the lady and her toys. They have fun. +Tom and Anna are young. They like to play in the house. One day, they see a fireplace in the living room. It is big and red. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Anna, fire!" Tom says. He points to the fireplace. + +"No, Tom, no!" Anna says. She shakes her head. "Fire is hot. Fire can hurt. We can't touch fire." + +"But I want to see fire. Fire is pretty. Fire is fun." Tom says. He moves closer to the fireplace. + +Anna is scared. She runs to the kitchen. She finds Mom. She tells Mom about Tom and the fireplace. + +"Mom, Mom, Tom wants to touch fire. He doesn't understand. Fire is bad. Fire is dangerous. Please stop him." Anna says. + +Mom is worried. She runs to the living room. She sees Tom near the fireplace. She grabs him and pulls him away. + +"Tom, what are you doing? You can't touch fire. Fire is not a toy. Fire can burn you. Fire can make smoke. Fire can start a fire. You have to be careful." Mom says. + +Tom is sad. He doesn't like Mom's words. He doesn't like Mom's face. He doesn't like Mom's voice. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I didn't understand. I just wanted to see fire. I like fire." Tom says. + +Mom hugs Tom. She is glad he is safe. She is not angry. She is not mad. She is just scared. + +"I know, Tom. I know you like fire. But fire is not for playing. Fire is for warming. Fire is for cooking. Fire is for light. You can see fire, but you can't touch fire. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Tom nods. He understands. He is sorry. He is not bad. He is just young. He learns something new. + +"OK, Mom. I understand. I won't touch fire. I will be careful. I will be good." Tom says. + +Mom smiles. She kisses Tom. She is proud of him. He is smart. He is brave. He is her son. + +"Good, Tom. I love you. You are my son. You are my fire." Mom says. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They also had a spoon to stir. + +"Can I stir, Lily?" Ben asked. He was the younger brother. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. Don't spill," Lily said. She was the older sister. + +Ben took the spoon and started to stir. He stirred and stirred and stirred. He liked to see the flour and the eggs and the milk and the sugar mix together. He stirred so hard that some of the batter flew out of the bowl and landed on his chest. + +"Oops!" Ben said. He looked at his chest and saw the sticky mess. + +Lily laughed. "Ben, you are so silly! Look at you! You are all dirty!" + +Ben felt sad. He wanted to make a nice cake for Mom, but he made a mess instead. He put down the spoon and started to cry. + +Lily saw Ben crying and felt sorry. She hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Ben. It's OK. We can clean up. You are brave for trying to stir. Mom will love our cake anyway." + +Ben stopped crying and smiled. He hugged Lily back and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are nice. I love you." + +Lily and Ben cleaned up the kitchen and finished the cake. They put it in the oven and waited for Mom to come home. They were happy and proud of their cake. They hoped Mom would like it too. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of newspapers on a bench. They run to the bench and look at the newspapers. + +"Wow, look at all the pictures!" Sara says. "This one has a dog and a cat. They are so cute!" + +Tom picks up a newspaper and shows it to Sara. "This one has a man and a woman. They are smiling and holding hands. They look happy!" + +Sara nods. "Maybe they are in love. Do you know what love is, Tom?" + +Tom shakes his head. "No, what is it?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. "I think love is when you like someone very much. And you want to be with them. And you do nice things for them. And you kiss them!" + +Tom makes a face. "Kiss them? Yuck! That sounds gross!" + +Sara giggles. "No, it's not gross. It's sweet. Like candy. My mommy and daddy kiss all the time. They say it makes them jolly. Do you want to try?" + +Tom looks at Sara. He likes her very much. She is his best friend. She always makes him laugh. And she shares her toys with him. Maybe kissing is not so bad. He nods. "Okay, I'll try." + +Sara smiles. She leans forward and gives Tom a little kiss on the cheek. Tom feels a warm and fuzzy feeling in his chest. He smiles back and gives Sara a little kiss on the cheek too. They hug each other and giggle. + +They hear a voice behind them. "Hey, what are you two doing?" + +They turn around and see a man standing by the bench. He is holding a camera. He is the man from the newspaper. He saw them kissing and took a picture. + +He smiles and says, "You two are adorable. Can I put your picture in the newspaper? You are the cutest couple I've ever seen!" + +Sara and Tom look at each other and blush. They nod shyly. They don't know what a couple is, but they like the sound of it. They hold hands and smile for the camera. They are happy and jolly. They are in love. +Anna and Ben wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They asked their dad to help them. He said yes, but they had to be careful and listen to him. + +They put flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk in a big bowl. They mixed everything with a big spoon. Then they poured the batter into a round pan. Dad put the pan in the oven. He told them they had to wait for a long time until the cake was done. + +Anna and Ben were very excited. They wanted to see the cake. They kept asking dad, "Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" Dad said, "No, not yet. You have to be patient. Baking takes time." + +Anna and Ben were persistent. They did not want to wait. They tried to peek into the oven. They tried to open the oven door. They tried to smell the cake. Dad said, "Stop! You can't do that. It's hot and dangerous. You have to wait until the timer rings." + +Anna and Ben were sad. They did not like to wait. They sat on the floor and pouted. They wondered if the cake would ever be done. + +Then they heard a ding. The timer rang. The cake was done. Dad took the pan out of the oven. He put it on the counter. He said, "Look! The cake is ready. It's beautiful and yummy. You did a great job. Now we can decorate it and surprise mom." + +Anna and Ben were happy. They forgot about waiting. They jumped up and clapped. They said, "Yay! We baked a cake. We love you, dad. We love you, mom." They hugged dad and helped him put frosting and sprinkles on the cake. They could not wait to see mom's face when she came home. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was there. + +"Let's go, Lily. Maybe we will find a wonder," Ben said. + +"What is a wonder, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"A wonder is something very good and pretty. Like a rainbow or a star," Ben said. + +They held hands and walked to the hill. They saw many birds and flowers. They heard a loud roar. They stopped and looked around. + +"What was that, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a lion or a bear," Ben said. + +They felt scared. They wanted to go back to the park. They saw a big shadow behind a tree. They screamed and ran. + +"Help, help! There is a monster!" they shouted. + +They ran to the park. They saw their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"Mom, dad, we saw a monster on the hill. It roared and scared us," Lily said. + +"Monster? What monster?" mom asked. + +She looked at the hill. She saw a big truck with a clean sign. It said "Park Service". It was making noise and moving dirt. + +"That is not a monster, Lily and Ben. That is a truck. It is working to make the park better and cleaner," mom said. + +She smiled and took them to the truck. They saw a man with a hat and a shovel. He waved at them. + +"Hello, kids. I am sorry if I scared you. I am not a monster. I am a worker. I am digging a hole for a new fountain. Do you want to see?" he said. + +He showed them the hole and the pipes. He explained how the water would come out and make a splash. + +Lily and Ben felt silly. They realized they were wrong. They apologized to the man. + +"Sorry, sir. We thought you were a monster. You are not a monster. You are a helper. Thank you for making the park better and cleaner," they said. + +The man smiled and gave them a sticker. It said "Park Friend". + +"You are welcome, kids. You are very brave and polite. You are park friends. Enjoy the park and have fun," he said. + +Lily and Ben thanked him and went back to their mom and dad. They felt happy and curious. They wondered what other wonders they would find in the park. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to eat cake. One day, their mom baked a big cake for their dad's birthday. She put the cake on the table and told them not to touch it until dad came home. + +But Tim and Sam were very hungry and curious. They stared at the cake and thought it looked delicious. They wanted to taste it and see how sweet it was. They waited until mom went to the store and then they sneaked into the kitchen. + +They took a knife and cut a big slice of cake. They ate it fast and felt happy. It was the best cake they ever had. They wanted more, so they cut another slice and ate it too. They did not notice that the cake was getting smaller and smaller. + +They heard mom's car in the driveway and panicked. They tried to hide the knife and the crumbs, but it was too late. Mom came in and saw the cake. She was very angry and sad. She yelled at them and said they were naughty and greedy. She said they ruined dad's birthday and they had to go to their room without dinner. + +Tim and Sam felt bad and sorry. They had a big weight in their chest. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They learned their lesson and never touched mom's cake again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. Today, they want to play with the same toy car. Anna says, "It is my turn. I saw it first." Ben says, "No, it is my turn. You had it yesterday." They pull the toy car from each other. They are very angry. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She says, "Stop fighting, please. You can share the toy car. Or you can play with something else. There are many toys in your room." Anna and Ben shake their heads. They refuse to share. They refuse to play with something else. They only want the toy car. + +Mom says, "If you cannot play nicely, you have to go to time out. You have to sit on the chair by the door and think about your actions. You have to say sorry to each other." Anna and Ben do not like time out. They do not want to sit on the chair. They do not want to say sorry. They refuse to go to time out. + +Mom is very sad. She says, "You are not being kind to each other. You are not being good listeners. You are not following the rules. You have to go to time out now. Or you will lose the toy car for the whole day." Anna and Ben do not want to lose the toy car. They look at each other. They look at the toy car. They look at Mom. + +Anna and Ben decide to be smart. They decide to be nice. They decide to follow the rules. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will go to time out. We will sit on the chair. We will think about our actions. We will say sorry to each other. We will share the toy car." Mom smiles. She says, "That is perfect. I am proud of you. You are being good twins. You are being good friends." Anna and Ben hug Mom. They hug each other. They go to time out. They sit on the chair. They say sorry. They share the toy car. They play nicely. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to make a house with the box. + +Tom says, "I will cut the door and the windows." He takes the scissors and starts to cut. Mia says, "No, no, no! You are doing it wrong. Let me do it. I am better at cutting." She takes the scissors from Tom. She is very bossy. + +Tom is sad. He says, "I want to help. I can cut too." Mia says, "No, you can't. You will ruin the box. Go away." She pushes Tom away. Tom falls on the grass. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Mia hears Tom crying. She feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was mean to you. You can help me. We can cut together." She gives Tom the scissors. They cut the door and the windows. + +They finish the house. They are happy. They go inside the house. They play with blocks and cars. They say, "We are good at fixing things. We are good friends." They hug. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big truck with many boxes. The truck is near a store. The store is closed. + +"Look, Sam, maybe there are toys in the boxes!" Tom says. + +"Let's go and see!" Sam says. + +They run to the truck and open a box. They find many dolls and games. They are happy. + +"Wow, these are great! Let's take some!" Tom says. + +He puts a doll and a game in his bag. Sam does the same. + +But then, a man comes out of the store. He is angry. He sees Tom and Sam with the boxes. + +"Hey, you! Stop! What are you doing?" he shouts. + +He runs to them and grabs their bags. He sees the dolls and games. + +"These are mine! You are stealing!" he says. + +He calls the police. The police come and take Tom and Sam. They put them in a car. They drive them to a place. The place is jail. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They cry. + +"Please, let us go! We are sorry!" they say. + +But the police do not listen. They lock them in a room. The room is small and dark. There are no toys, no cars, no balls. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They wish they did not take the boxes. They wish they did not make the man angry. They wish they listened to their moms and dads. + +They learn a lesson. They learn that stealing is bad. They learn that they have to accept the rules. They learn that they have to be good. +Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. Mom said she would make spaghetti for them, but they had to wait. Mom put a big pot of water on the stove and turned on the fire. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can help me. But be careful, the stove is hot and the knife is sharp. You don't want to burn or cut yourself," Mom said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They wanted to be good helpers. Mom gave them a big bowl of tomatoes and a sharp knife. She showed them how to cut the tomatoes into small pieces. + +"Like this, Mom?" Max asked, holding up a piece of tomato. + +"Yes, very good, Max. Now put it in this smaller bowl," Mom said. + +Lily tried to cut a tomato, too. But it was difficult. The tomato was slippery and the knife was heavy. She pushed hard on the knife, but it did not move. + +"Mom, I can't do it. It's too difficult," Lily said. + +Mom looked at Lily and smiled. She took the knife from her hand and put it away. + +"That's okay, Lily. Cutting tomatoes is hard for little hands. You can help me in another way. You can stir the spaghetti in the pot when it's ready. Do you want to do that?" Mom asked. + +Lily nodded. She liked to stir things. She felt happy again. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and Max. She was proud of them. + +"You are welcome, my sweeties. You are the best, too. Now let's finish our spaghetti and enjoy our lunch," Mom said. +On Tuesday, Ben and Mia wanted to build a big tower with their blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They worked hard and had fun. They made the tower taller and taller. + +"Look how high our tower is!" Ben said. "It is the best tower ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "But we have to be careful. We don't want it to fall down." + +But Tom, their little brother, was not careful. He was careless. He liked to run and jump and make noise. He did not see the tower. He did not hear Ben and Mia. + +He ran into the room where they were playing. He bumped into the table. He made the tower shake and wobble. + +"Tom, no!" Ben and Mia shouted. "You will make our tower fall!" + +But it was too late. The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered everywhere. Ben and Mia were sad and angry. They had worked so hard. They had made something beautiful. And Tom had ruined it. + +"Tom, you are so careless!" Ben said. "You always break our things!" + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tom said. "I didn't mean to. I was just playing." + +Ben and Mia looked at him. He looked sorry. He looked sad. He looked small. + +They sighed. They knew he was their brother. They knew he loved them. They knew he did not do it on purpose. + +They decided to forgive him. They decided to help him. They decided to build another tower. Together. +Lila liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the flowers. She sang with her mom, her dad, her brother, and her cat. She sang with a happy voice and a big smile. + +One day, Lila's mom said, "Lila, you have a very nice voice. Do you want to sing in front of many people at the big show?" Lila felt shy. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to. I like to sing at home, with you and dad and brother and cat. I don't like to sing in front of many people. They might laugh at me or be mean to me. I am modest, mom. I don't want to show off." + +Lila's mom said, "I understand, Lila. You are modest, and that is good. But you don't have to be afraid of singing in front of many people. They will not laugh at you or be mean to you. They will like your voice and your smile. They will clap for you and say, 'Bravo, Lila!' You will make them happy, Lila. And you will be happy, too. Don't you want to try, Lila?" + +Lila thought about it. She said, "Maybe, mom. Maybe I will try. But can I sing a song that I like? A song that makes me happy?" + +Lila's mom said, "Of course, Lila. You can sing any song that you like. What song do you want to sing?" + +Lila said, "I want to sing the song about butter. The song that you taught me, mom. The song that goes, 'Butter, butter, on my bread. Butter, butter, in my head. Butter, butter, makes me glad. Butter, butter, is not bad.'" + +Lila's mom said, "That is a funny song, Lila. I like that song, too. OK, Lila, you can sing the song about butter at the big show. I will be there with you, and so will dad and brother and cat. We will be proud of you, Lila. You are a brave and modest girl." + +Lila said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love butter, too." + +The next day, Lila went to the big show with her mom, her dad, her brother, and her cat. She saw many people in the big room. She felt nervous. But she also felt excited. She waited for her turn to sing. When her name was called, she walked to the big stage. She saw a big microphone. She held it in her hand. She looked at the many people. She saw their faces. They looked friendly. They looked curious. They looked ready to listen. Lila smiled. She opened her mouth. She sang the song about butter. She sang with a happy voice and a big smile. The many people listened. They laughed. They clapped. They said, "Bravo, Lila!" Lila felt happy. She bowed. She said, "Thank you, thank you. I love butter, and I love you, too." She ran to her mom, her dad, her brother, and her cat. They hugged her. They said, "We love you, Lila. You are a star." Lila said, "No, I am not a star. I am modest. I am Lila. And I like to sing." +One day, a little girl named Lily was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to pretend that her doll was a princess and she was her friend. She made a crown for her doll out of flowers and leaves. She was very happy. + +But then, a big dog appeared from behind the fence. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards Lily and her doll. Lily was very scared. She dropped her doll and ran to the house. She cried for her mom. + +Her mom heard her cry and came out of the house. She saw the dog and the doll. She was angry and worried. She shouted at the dog and threw a stick at it. The dog was scared too. It ran away with the stick in its mouth. + +Lily hugged her mom and sobbed. She told her mom what happened. Her mom comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my dear. The dog was ignorant. It didn't know that your doll was not a toy for it. It was just curious and playful. But it was not nice to scare you and take your doll. I'm sorry." + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She asked her mom, "Can we get my doll back, mom? I miss her. She is my princess." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. Let's go and look for the dog. Maybe it dropped the doll somewhere. And if not, we can buy you a new doll. A prettier one. How about that?" + +Lily smiled too and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." + +They held hands and walked to the garden. They hoped to find the doll and the dog. They wanted to be friends with both of them. +Anna and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books. They were very excited to see new places and have fun. + +"Are we there yet?" Anna asked from the back seat of the car. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to drive for a long time. But you can look out the window and see the trees and the animals," Mom said. + +Ben was looking at a book about dinosaurs. He liked dinosaurs a lot. He wanted to see a real dinosaur someday. + +"Look, Anna, this is a T-rex. It is big and scary and has sharp teeth. It can eat anything it wants," Ben said, showing his sister the picture. + +"Wow, that is scary. I don't want to see a T-rex. I want to see a unicorn. It is pretty and nice and has a horn. It can make wishes come true," Anna said, showing her brother the picture. + +They kept talking about dinosaurs and unicorns until they fell asleep. + +When they woke up, they were at the airport. Mom and Dad took their luggage and checked in. They got their boarding passes and went to the gate. + +"Come on, kids, we have to hurry. The plane is leaving soon," Dad said. + +They followed Dad to the plane. They found their seats and buckled up. The plane started to move and then went up in the air. + +"Look, Anna, we are flying. We are like birds. We can see the clouds and the sun and the land below," Ben said, looking out the window. + +Anna looked out the window too. She saw something shiny and colorful in the sky. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Look, Ben, I see a unicorn. It is flying with us. It is smiling at me. It is making my wish come true," Anna said, pointing at the sky. + +Ben looked where Anna was pointing. He saw something big and dark and scary in the sky. It looked like a dinosaur. + +"Look, Anna, I see a T-rex. It is flying with us. It is growling at me. It is going to eat us," Ben said, hiding under his seat. + +Anna and Ben screamed. Mom and Dad looked at them and then at the window. They saw nothing but clouds and sun. + +"What's wrong, kids? What did you see?" Mom asked. + +Anna and Ben told them what they saw. Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, kids. It was just your imagination. There are no unicorns or T-rexes in the sky. You are safe on the plane. We are going to have a wonderful trip," Dad said. + +Anna and Ben calmed down and snuggled with Mom and Dad. They closed their eyes and dreamed of unicorns and T-rexes. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the kangaroo. The kangaroo had a baby in her pouch. She was very fast and jumped high. + +"Look, Mom, the kangaroo is performing!" Ben said. He clapped his hands and laughed. + +"Yes, she is. She is showing us how she can hop and carry her baby," Mom said. She smiled and took a picture. + +"Can I perform like the kangaroo?" Lily asked. She wanted to try. + +"Sure, you can. But be careful, don't fall," Dad said. He held her hand and helped her jump. + +Lily performed like the kangaroo. She hopped and pretended to have a baby in her pouch. She made a funny noise and said, "Boing, boing, boing!" + +Ben joined her and they performed together. They had fun and made everyone laugh. + +The kangaroo watched them and seemed to like them. She came closer and sniffed them. She gave them a lick and a nudge. + +"Wow, the kangaroo likes us!" Ben said. He felt happy and proud. + +"She does. She thinks you are her new friends," Mom said. She hugged them and said, "You did a great job, Ben and Lily. You are very brave and cute." + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big hose with water. They wanted to play with it. + +"Let's make a fountain!" said Lily. She turned on the tap and held the hose up high. Water sprayed out of the hose and made a rainbow. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" said Tom. He ran under the water and got wet. He liked the feeling of the water on his skin. + +But then, something bad happened. The hose had a leak. Water started to come out of a hole in the hose. The hole was near Lily's hand. The water was strong and it hurt Lily's hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She dropped the hose and ran to Tom. The hose fell on the ground and water went everywhere. + +Tom saw Lily's hand. It was red and sore. He felt sorry for Lily. He hugged her and said, "Are you okay, Lily? That was a bad leak. It scared me too." + +Lily nodded. She was still crying, but she felt better with Tom's hug. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I'm glad you are here with me." + +Tom smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend too. I'm glad you are here with me." + +They looked at the hose. It was still leaking water. They decided to stop playing with it. They went to find their mom. They wanted to show her Lily's hand and get a band-aid. + +They walked to the house. They felt lucky. They had each other. They were happy. +Lily did not like to go to the barber. She was afraid of the scissors and the noise. She always cried and yelled when her mom took her there. She said she wanted to keep her long hair. + +One day, her mom said they had to go to the barber again. Lily was very angry. She said no and ran away. She hid under the bed and did not come out. Her mom tried to find her and talk to her, but Lily did not listen. + +Then, Lily heard a loud roar outside. She peeked out of the window and saw a big, fierce lion. It had escaped from the zoo and was looking for food. It saw Lily's house and ran towards it. Lily was very scared. She wished her mom was with her. + +She heard the lion break the door and enter the house. She heard it growl and sniff around. She knew it would find her soon. She did not know what to do. She wished she had gone to the barber with her mom. + +She heard her mom's voice. She had come back with the barber. They had heard about the lion and brought a net and a tranquilizer gun. They saw the lion in the house and quickly caught it and made it sleep. They saved Lily and hugged her. + +Lily was very happy and relieved. She said sorry to her mom and the barber. She said she was not afraid of the barber anymore. She said she would go with them and get a nice haircut. She learned that it was better to listen to her mom and not to yell and run away. She also learned that there were scarier things than the barber. +Lily loved books. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures of animals, some books had stories of princesses, some books had songs and rhymes. But Lily's favorite book was a unique book. It was a book that talked to her. + +Every night, before Lily went to sleep, she would pick up her unique book and open it. The book would say, "Hello, Lily. Do you want to hear a story?" Lily would nod and smile. The book would start to tell her a story. Sometimes it was a funny story, sometimes it was a scary story, sometimes it was a sad story. Lily liked all the stories. She would listen and ask questions and laugh and gasp and cry. + +One night, Lily opened her unique book and waited for it to talk. But the book was silent. Lily said, "Hello, book. Do you want to tell me a story?" But the book did not answer. Lily felt worried. She shook the book and tapped it and turned it upside down. But the book still did not talk. Lily felt sad. She hugged the book and said, "Please, book, don't be quiet. I love your stories. I love you." + +Then, the book made a small sound. It said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well. I have a sore throat. I can't tell you a story tonight." Lily felt sorry for the book. She said, "Oh, book, I'm sorry too. You must be very tired. You tell me so many stories. You need to rest. Can I do something to help you?" + +The book said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You can help me by singing me a song. A song always makes me feel better." Lily smiled and said, "Okay, book. I will sing you a song. A song that I learned from you." She started to sing a song that the book had taught her. It was a song about stars and dreams and friends. The book listened and felt happy. It said, "Lily, you have a beautiful voice. You are a wonderful friend. I love you too." Lily and the book fell asleep together, feeling warm and cozy. +Tom liked to observe things. He liked to look at the sky, the trees, the birds, and the cars. He also liked to observe things that were shiny, like coins, buttons, and rings. He had a small box where he kept his shiny things. + +One day, he found a new shiny thing on the street. It was a copper wire. It was long and thin and had a red color. Tom thought it was very pretty and he wanted to keep it. He picked it up and put it in his pocket. + +But he did not know that the copper wire was not an ordinary wire. It was a part of a big machine that was broken. The machine was in a shop near the street. The shop owner was looking for the wire, because he needed it to fix the machine. He was very angry and worried, because the machine was very important and expensive. + +He saw Tom walking by with a bulge in his pocket. He guessed that Tom had the wire. He ran after him and shouted, "Hey, kid, give me back my wire! That's not yours, that's mine!" + +Tom was scared and confused. He did not know why the man was angry and why he wanted his shiny thing. He ran away from the man, but the man was faster and caught him. He grabbed the wire from Tom's pocket and said, "You little thief! How dare you take my wire! Do you know how much trouble you caused me?" + +Tom started to cry. He did not understand what he did wrong. He only wanted to observe the shiny thing and keep it in his box. He did not mean to make the man angry or cause trouble. He said, "I'm sorry, mister, I didn't know. I just liked the wire. It was shiny and pretty. Please don't be mad at me." + +The man looked at Tom's tearful face and felt sorry for him. He realized that Tom was just a curious child who did not know any better. He said, "It's okay, kid, I'm not mad at you anymore. But you have to be careful with what you take. Some things are not for you to keep. They belong to someone else or they have a special purpose. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mister, I understand. I'm sorry for taking your wire. Can I have something else that is shiny and pretty?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, kid, I have something for you. Here, take this coin. It's also made of copper, but it's not a wire. It's a penny. You can keep it and observe it as much as you want. But don't take any more wires, okay?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Okay, mister, thank you. I like the penny. It's shiny and pretty. I will put it in my box with my other shiny things. And I won't take any more wires, I promise." + +The man and Tom parted ways, both happy and relieved. Tom learned a lesson about taking things that are not his, and the man learned a lesson about being kind to children. And they both learned to appreciate the beauty of copper. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, Sara makes a big tower with the blocks. She is very proud of her tower. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I made a tower. It is very tall and strong. Do you like it?" Sara asks. + +Ben looks at the tower. He wants to make one too, but he does not have enough blocks. He feels a little jealous of Sara. He decides to tease her. + +"Your tower is not so good, Sara. It is crooked and wobbly. It will fall down soon. Watch this!" Ben says. He pushes the tower with his hand. The blocks fall down and make a loud noise. Sara is very sad. She worked hard on her tower. She sees a mark on one of the blocks. It is scratched and dirty. She starts to cry. + +"Ben, why did you do that? You are mean. You broke my tower and my block. I don't want to play with you anymore." Sara says. + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to make Sara cry. He was just joking. He wants to make her happy again. He picks up the blocks and tries to fix the tower. He finds a cheerful sticker in his pocket. It has a smiley face on it. He puts the sticker on the mark on the block. He gives the block to Sara. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I was teasing you. I like your tower. It is very tall and strong. Here, I have a sticker for you. It will make your block look nice. Can we be friends again?" Ben asks. + +Sara looks at the block. She sees the sticker. It is cheerful and bright. She smiles. She likes the sticker. She likes Ben. He is her friend. She hugs him. + +"Thank you, Ben. I like the sticker. It is very cheerful. You are nice. We can be friends again. Let's play with the blocks and the cars." Sara says. + +They play together. They make a new tower. They share the blocks and the cars. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Find the hidden eggs and win a prize!" + +Sara and Ben are happy. They want to find the eggs and win a prize. They run around the park and look for eggs. They find some eggs under a tree, behind a bench, and in a flower pot. + +But there is one egg that is hard to find. It is in a dark corner of the park, near a fence. Sara and Ben see the egg and run towards it. But they do not see the dog that is sleeping near the fence. + +The dog wakes up and sees Sara and Ben. The dog is angry. It barks and growls at Sara and Ben. It does not want them to take the egg. + +"Go away!" the dog says. "This is my egg! It is not a prize for you!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They stop and look at the dog. The dog is big and has sharp teeth. Sara and Ben do not want to make the dog more angry. + +"Sorry, dog," Sara says. "We did not know this was your egg. We will leave it alone." + +"Yes, sorry, dog," Ben says. "We will find another egg. We do not want to fight with you." + +The dog sees that Sara and Ben are sorry. The dog is still angry, but it does not bite them. It warns them to stay away from the egg. + +"Good," the dog says. "Now go away and do not come back. This is my egg and I will keep it." + +Sara and Ben nod and run away from the dog. They are glad that the dog did not hurt them. They decide to look for another egg in a normal place, where there are no angry dogs. They hope they can still win a prize. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They kept their cars in a big box in the garage. Sometimes they shared their cars, and sometimes they fought over them. + +One day, Ben wanted to play with the red car. The red car was very popular, because it was shiny and fast. But Lily wanted to play with it too. She said, "No, Ben, it's my turn. You played with it yesterday. Give it to me!" + +Ben did not want to give it to her. He said, "No, Lily, it's mine. I found it in the garage. You can play with another car. Go away!" + +Lily was angry. She tried to grab the red car from Ben. Ben held it tight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The red car fell to the floor and broke. The wheels came off and the door came off and the roof came off. Ben and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the red car and felt sad. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the garage. She saw the broken red car and the twins. She said, "What happened here? Why did you break the red car? That was a nice car. You should be nice to each other and share your toys." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the red car. We both like it. We didn't mean to break it." + +Mom said, "I know you both like it, but you can't have it all the time. You have to take turns and respect each other. Why don't you bring some glue and try to fix the red car together? Maybe you can make it even better than before." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Okay, Mom. We'll try to fix it. We'll bring some glue and some stickers and some paint. We'll make the red car beautiful again. And we'll share it nicely." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now go and have fun. And don't forget to clean up the garage when you're done." + +Ben and Lily hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They went to get some glue and some stickers and some paint. They worked together to fix the red car. They made it shiny and fast and colorful. They played with it happily and took turns. They learned to be kind and generous. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily like to play in the yard. They have a big box and some sticks. They pretend the box is a house and the sticks are tools. They want to make the house stronger. + +"Look, I have a club!" Ben says. He holds a long, heavy stick. "I can attach it to the box with this rope." + +"Wow, that is a good club!" Lily says. She has a short, thin stick. "But I think my stick is better. It is lighter and faster. I can use it to make holes in the box." + +"No, no, no!" Ben says. "You cannot make holes in the house. That will make it weaker. You have to help me attach the club to the house." + +"But I want to make holes!" Lily says. She swings her stick at the box. "It is fun!" + +Ben and Lily start to argue. They do not see the dog coming. The dog is big and furry. He likes to play too. He sees the box and the sticks. He thinks they are toys. He runs to the yard and jumps on the box. He grabs the club and the stick with his mouth. He shakes them and runs away. + +"Hey, stop!" Ben and Lily shout. "That is our house and our tools!" + +They chase the dog, but he is too fast. He runs to the park and drops the club and the stick. He finds a ball and plays with it. + +Ben and Lily find the club and the stick. They are sad. The box is broken and the rope is torn. They cannot make the house stronger. + +"Maybe we can make something else," Ben says. + +"Like what?" Lily asks. + +"Like a boat," Ben says. "We can use the box as a boat and the club and the stick as oars." + +"That sounds fun," Lily says. "But we need water." + +They look around and see a pond. They drag the box to the pond. They put the club and the stick inside. They climb in and pretend to row. + +"We are sailors!" Ben says. + +"We are explorers!" Lily says. + +They forget about the dog and the argument. They have fun in the boat. They are happy. +Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends. Sometimes they see dogs and birds and flowers. + +One day, Lily and Tom find a big bench in the park. It is brown and hard and has many letters and pictures on it. Lily and Tom think it is a mark bench. They want to make their own marks on the bench. + +Lily and Tom look for sticks and stones and leaves. They use them to make marks on the bench. They make circles and lines and stars and hearts. They make their names and smiley faces. They make the bench pretty. + +But then a man comes and sees the bench. He is angry and shouts at Lily and Tom. He says they are bad and they have to stop. He says they have to clean the bench. He says the bench is not for marks. + +Lily and Tom are scared and sad. They do not understand. They think they are good and they have fun. They think they make the bench pretty. They do not want to clean the bench. They want to play. + +They run away from the man and the bench. They find their friends and play with them. They forget about the bench. They are happy again. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They liked to see the animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray and had a ball on his nose. He could clap his flippers and make funny noises. + +"Look, mom, the seal is so smart!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is, but he also needs a lot of care and attention," mom said. "He lives in a pool with other seals, and they have to share their food and toys. Sometimes they are not very nice to each other." + +Ben and Lily wanted to feed the seal. They bought some fish from a man and waited in line. Ben was very competitive. He wanted to be the first to give the seal a fish. He pushed Lily and ran to the front. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. + +"Sorry, Lily, I want to feed the seal more than you," Ben said. + +He threw a fish to the seal, but the seal did not catch it. Another seal came and snatched the fish from the water. The seal that Ben wanted to feed was angry. He barked and splashed water at Ben. Ben got wet and cold. He started to cry. + +"Mom, the seal is mean!" Ben said. + +Mom came and hugged Ben. She was not happy with him. + +"Ben, you were mean first. You pushed your sister and did not wait your turn. The seal was just trying to get his food. You have to be kind and respectful to the animals and to your sister. Do you understand?" mom said. + +Ben nodded. He felt sorry for what he did. He hoped that Lily and the seal would forgive him. He looked at Lily and saw that she was smiling. She had a fish in her hand and was ready to feed the seal. The seal was happy and played with the ball on his nose. Lily waved at Ben and invited him to join her. + +"Come on, Ben, let's feed the seal together. He is not mean, he is just hungry," Lily said. + +Ben wanted to go, but mom said no. She said that Ben had to stay with her and watch. He had to learn his lesson. Ben was sad. He missed his chance to feed the seal and to have fun with his sister. He wished he was not so competitive. He wished he was more like Lily. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings and the slide. But they saw a big hill that looked fun to climb. They ran to the hill and started to go up. + +"Look, Lily, I can go higher than you!" Ben said. He tried to increase his speed and reach the top. + +"Be careful, Ben, it is dangerous!" Lily said. She saw that the hill was steep and had rocks and thorns. She did not want to hurt her face or her legs. + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to be the best. He kept going up and up, until he slipped on a rock. He fell down and rolled all the way to the bottom. He cried out loud and held his face. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw that he had scratches and bruises on his face and his arms. She felt sorry for him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben, are you okay?" + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm okay, Lily, but I was silly. I should have listened to you. The hill was too dangerous. Can we go back to the swings and the slide?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Ben, let's go. They are more fun and safe. And you are still my best friend." + +They held hands and walked back to the park. They learned their lesson and had a good time. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a blue dress, yellow hair and a big smile. Lily took Anna everywhere. She hugged her, talked to her and made her tea. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She put Anna on the slide and said, "Weee, Anna, you are going to have fun!" But the slide was too fast and too rough. Anna flew off the slide and landed on the ground. Lily heard a loud crack. + +Lily ran to Anna and picked her up. She saw that Anna's head was broken. She saw white stuff and wires inside. She saw Anna's smile was gone. She felt sad and scared. She cried, "Mommy, mommy, Anna is hurt!" + +Mommy came and looked at Anna. She said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. Anna is broken. She can't talk or smile anymore. We can't restore her. She is gone." + +Lily didn't understand. She said, "No, mommy, no. Anna is not gone. She is here. She is my friend. Please, mommy, please, restore her. Make her better. Make her smile." + +Mommy shook her head and hugged Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I can't. Anna was a toy, not a real person. She was a figure, not a friend. She can't feel or think. She can't be restored. You have to let her go." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She said, "No, mommy, no. You are wrong. Anna was a real person. She was a friend. She could feel and think. She could be restored. You don't love her. You don't love me." + +Lily pushed mommy away and ran with Anna. She looked for a place to hide. She found a big trash can and climbed inside. She said, "Anna, don't worry. I love you. I will restore you. I will make you smile. We will be happy. We don't need mommy. We don't need anyone." + +But Lily didn't know that the trash can was full of dirty and sharp things. She didn't know that the trash can was going to be emptied by a big truck. She didn't know that she and Anna were going to be crushed and thrown away. She didn't know that she and Anna were never going to smile again. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat dinner. But Mom was busy. She said, "Wait a little. Dinner is not ready yet." + +Tom and Lily did not want to wait. They were very hungry. They went to the kitchen. They saw a big pot on the stove. They smelled something good. + +"What is in the pot?" Tom asked. + +"Let's peek," Lily said. + +They climbed on a chair. They lifted the lid. They saw white and green things. They looked like trees. + +"Cauliflower!" Tom said. + +He liked cauliflower. He reached his hand to grab one. But the pot was very hot. He burned his hand. He screamed. + +Mom heard him. She ran to the kitchen. She saw Tom and Lily on the chair. She saw the pot on the stove. She saw Tom's hand. She was angry and scared. + +"What are you doing?" she yelled. "You could have hurt yourself! The pot is hot! You should not touch it!" + +She took Tom and Lily off the chair. She put the lid back on the pot. She took Tom's hand and put it under cold water. She said, "You are very naughty. You did not listen to me. You have to wait for dinner. Now you have a sore hand. And you made a mess." + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They cried. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were hungry. We wanted to eat cauliflower." + +Mom said, "I know you were hungry. But you have to be patient. And you have to be careful. Cauliflower is good. But it is not worth getting burned. Now you have to go to your room. No dinner for you tonight." + +Tom and Lily went to their room. They were hungry and sad. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not peeked. +Lily and Ben were happy to see their new house. They helped Mom and Dad unpack the big boxes. Lily found her yellow dress and her teddy bear. Ben found his board game and his toy car. + +"Look, Lily, I have my board game. Do you want to play with me?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, I like your board game. It has many colors and shapes. How do we play?" Lily said. + +Ben showed Lily how to roll the dice and move the pieces on the board. They had fun playing and making noises. Mom and Dad smiled and watched them. + +"Good job, kids. You are being very helpful and nice. We are almost done unpacking. Do you want to see your new rooms?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed Mom and Dad. They saw their new rooms with their beds and toys. They were very happy and hugged Mom and Dad. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love our new house and our new rooms. Can we play more later?" Lily said. + +"Of course, sweetie. We love you too. Now, let's have some lunch. We have pizza and salad. Do you like that?" Dad said. + +Lily and Ben clapped and said yes. They went to the kitchen and ate their lunch. They liked their pizza and salad. They were full and sleepy. They went to their rooms and took a nap. They dreamed of their new house and their new friends. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big tree with wide branches. They want to climb the tree and see the birds. + +They help each other to reach the first branch. They are very careful not to fall. They see a nest with three eggs. They are blue and speckled. They hear a chirp. A bird is flying to the nest. It has a worm in its beak. + +"Look, Ben, the bird is feeding its babies!" Sara says. + +"Yes, Sara, it is very nice. The bird loves its babies," Ben says. + +They watch the bird for a while. Then they see something shiny on another branch. It is an arrow. It is silver and has a red tip. They wonder who left it there. + +"Maybe it is a fairy arrow," Sara says. + +"Maybe it is a pirate arrow," Ben says. + +They want to touch it, but they are afraid it might be sharp. They decide to leave it alone. They climb down the tree and go to the swings. + +They swing high and low. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and sing. They are very happy. + +They stop swinging and look at each other. They feel something warm in their hearts. They lean closer and kiss each other on the cheek. + +They blush and smile. They hold hands and run to the slide. They slide down together. + +They are the best friends in the world. +Sam and Lily are playing in the park. They see a large thing with four legs and a long tail. It is brown and has spots. Sam says, "Look, a dog!" Lily says, "No, a cow!" They run to the thing and want to pet it. + +The thing is not a dog or a cow. It is a horse. The horse does not like Sam and Lily. It makes a loud noise and shows its teeth. Sam and Lily are scared. They stop and back away. + +The horse bites Sam's hat. It pulls it off his head and throws it away. Sam cries, "Hey, that's my hat!" Lily says, "Bad horse, bad horse!" They run to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. + +Mom and dad hug Sam and Lily. They say, "We're sorry, that was a mean horse. It should not bite your hat. Are you OK?" Sam and Lily nod. They say, "We're OK. But we don't like that horse. It is not a dog or a cow. It is a large, bad thing." Mom and dad say, "You're right. It is a large, bad thing. But not all horses are bad. Some are nice and gentle. Maybe next time we can find a nice horse to pet. Would you like that?" Sam and Lily say, "Maybe. But we like dogs and cows better." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. They also saw a small otter swimming and diving in the water. The otter looked happy and playful. + +"Look, Lily, an otter!" Tom said. "He is so cute and fast!" + +"Can we pet him, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. He might be shy or scared of us. Let's watch him from here." + +They sat on the grass and watched the otter for a while. They saw him catch a fish and eat it. They saw him splash and slide on the rocks. They saw him dig a hole and bury something in it. + +"What is he burying, Tom?" Lily wondered. + +"Maybe he is hiding his food or his toys. Otters like to bury things for later," Tom explained. + +"Can we see what he buried, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, but we have to be careful and quiet. We don't want to scare him or make him angry," Tom said. + +They waited until the otter swam away to another part of the pond. Then they walked slowly and softly to the hole. They looked inside and saw a shiny stone. + +"Wow, a pretty stone!" Lily said. "It is blue and sparkly!" + +"Maybe the otter found it and liked it. Maybe he wanted to keep it safe," Tom said. + +"Can we take it, Tom?" Lily asked. + +Tom thought for a moment. He liked the stone too, but he also liked the otter. He remembered that the otter was generous and shared his fish with the ducks. He decided to be generous too. + +"No, Lily, we can't take it. It is the otter's stone. He buried it here for a reason. We should leave it alone," Tom said. + +"Okay, Tom, you are right. The otter is nice and we should be nice too," Lily said. + +They covered the hole with dirt and grass. They waved goodbye to the otter and thanked him for letting them see his stone. They went back to their mom and dad and told them about their adventure. They were happy and proud of being good friends to the otter. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play music with their toys. Tom has a drum and Lily has a flute. They make loud and funny sounds with their toys. + +One day, they decide to show their music to their mom and dad. They ask them to sit on the sofa and listen. They say, "We are the music stars!" + +Tom and Lily start to play their toys. Tom bangs his drum with his hands. Lily blows her flute with her mouth. They make a lot of noise. They smile and look at their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad listen to their music. They cover their ears with their hands. The noise is too loud for them. They want Tom and Lily to stop. But they do not say anything. They love their twins and want to make them happy. + +After a while, Tom and Lily finish their music. They put down their toys and bow. They say, "Thank you for listening! Did you like our music?" + +Mom and dad uncover their ears. They are happy that the noise is over. They also want to praise their twins for their effort. They say, "Yes, we liked your music! You are very creative and brave!" + +Mom and dad clap their hands. They applaud Tom and Lily. They say, "Bravo! Bravo!" + +Tom and Lily are very happy. They hear the applause. They feel proud of their music. They hug their mom and dad. They say, "Thank you! Thank you!" + +Mom and dad hug them back. They say, "You are welcome! We love you!" + +They all smile and laugh. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the colorful blocks. Sometimes they pretended to be animals or superheroes or pirates with the blocks. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She saw a candle on the table and wanted to use it for her block house. She thought it would make a pretty light and a warm fire. She reached for the candle, but Ben stopped her. + +"No, Lily, don't touch that!" Ben said. "That is a flame. It is hot and dangerous. It can hurt you and burn the blocks and the house. We are not allowed to play with flames." + +"But I want to," Lily said. "It is pretty and fun. You are just scared. I am not scared. I can play with the flame." + +Lily tried to grab the candle again, but Ben refused to let her. He held her hand and pulled her away from the table. He was worried and angry. He knew that flames were not toys. He wanted to protect Lily and the blocks and the house. + +"Listen to me, Lily," Ben said. "I am your brother. I love you and I care for you. I am dependable. I always tell you the truth. Flames are not pretty and fun. They are hot and dangerous. You can get hurt and make a big mess. We have to follow the rules and be safe. Please, Lily, don't play with the flame." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw his serious face and his kind eyes. She felt sorry for being stubborn and naughty. She realized that Ben was right. He was dependable. He always told her the truth. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you and I trust you. I won't play with the flame. I will play with the blocks with you." + +Ben smiled and hugged her back. He was happy and relieved. He loved Lily and he was proud of her. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you and I have fun with you. Let's play with the blocks together." + +They put the candle back on the table and went back to their block house. They played with the blocks and had a great time. They were safe and happy. They were dependable and loving. They were Lily and Ben. +Ben likes to play with his toy doctor kit. He has a stethoscope, a bandage, a syringe and a thermometer. He likes to pretend he is a doctor and help his stuffed animals when they are sick. + +One day, he decides to add a new toy to his kit.

He wanted to break it and throw it away. + +But the flower did not break. It was strong and tough. It did not like Tom's words and actions. It decided to make a sound for him. + +It made a loud and scary sound, like a lion's roar. It made Tom jump and scream. He dropped the flower and ran away. + +Lily saw what happened. She was scared too, but she was also sorry for the flower. She picked it up and said, "I'm sorry, trumpet flower. Tom did not mean to hurt you. He did not know you could make a sound. He was just curious and silly." + +The flower did not make any more sound. It just smiled and nodded. It liked Lily's words and actions. It decided to be friends with her. + +Lily smiled and nodded too. She put the flower back in the flower bed. She said, "You are a beautiful and smart flower. You are a real trumpet. You are a special trumpet." + +She gave the flower a gentle kiss and went to find Tom. She wanted to tell him that the flower was not stupid, but friendly. She wanted to make him happy and sorry. She wanted to play with him and the flower. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sack on a bench. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it is full of toys," Tom says. + +"Or candy," Sam says. + +They run to the sack and open it. But there is nothing inside. Only air. + +"Who put this here?" Tom asks. + +Sam laughs. He has a big smile. He says, "It was me. I joke you. I bring the sack from home and put it here. I want to see your face when you open it." + +Tom is not happy. He feels silly. He says, "That is not a nice joke. That is a mean joke. You make me sad." + +Sam stops laughing. He says, "I am sorry, Tom. I do not want to make you sad. I want to make you laugh. I think it is a funny joke." + +Tom looks at Sam. He sees that Sam is sorry. He says, "It is okay, Sam. I forgive you. But next time, do not joke me like that. Joke me with something nice. Like a funny story or a funny face." + +Sam nods. He says, "Okay, Tom. I will joke you with something nice. Like this." He makes a funny face. He sticks out his tongue and crosses his eyes. + +Tom laughs. He says, "That is a funny face. You are a funny friend." + +They hug. They are friends again. They take the sack and play with it. They fill it with leaves and throw it in the air. They have fun. The sky is clear and blue. They are happy. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to draw. They had many colors of pastel, which were soft and smooth. They liked to display their drawings on the wall of their room. One day, they decided to draw a big picture of a lion. They used yellow, brown, and black pastels to make the lion look real. + +"Look, Mia, our lion is so big and strong!" Ben said, as he added the last whisker. + +"Yes, Ben, and he has sharp teeth and claws!" Mia said, as she drew the eyes. + +They were very proud of their lion and wanted to show it to their mom. They ran to the kitchen, where their mom was making cookies. + +"Mom, mom, come and see our lion!" they shouted. + +"OK, OK, I'm coming," their mom said, as she turned off the oven. "But be careful, don't run in the house. You might fall and hurt yourself." + +Mia and Ben did not listen. They ran back to their room, holding their mom's hand. They were so excited to display their lion. But when they got to their room, they saw something that made them scream. + +Their lion was gone! Instead, there was a big hole in the wall, and a trail of pastel crumbs on the floor. And they heard a loud roar from outside. + +Their mom gasped. "Oh no, your lion was dangerous! He came to life and escaped!" + +Mia and Ben were scared. They hugged their mom and cried. They wished they had drawn a nice flower or a cute bunny instead. +One day, a boy and a girl went to the park with their mom. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. The boy and the girl wanted to feed the ducks, but their mom said no. + +"Why not?" the boy asked. + +"Because the bread is bad for the ducks. It can make them sick and fat. We have to prevent that," their mom said. + +"What does prevent mean?" the girl asked. + +"It means to stop something bad from happening," their mom said. + +The boy and the girl nodded. They decided to watch the ducks instead. They saw how they swam and quacked and splashed. They also saw a thin cloud of water over the lake. It looked like smoke, but it was not hot. + +"What is that?" the boy asked. + +"That is mist," their mom said. "It is water that is so small that you can see through it. It happens when the air is cold and the water is warm. It is rare to see it in the park." + +"What does rare mean?" the girl asked. + +"It means something that does not happen often, or is hard to find," their mom said. + +The boy and the girl thought the mist was beautiful. They wanted to touch it, but their mom said no. + +"Why not?" the boy asked. + +"Because the mist is wet and cold. It can make you sick and wet. We have to prevent that," their mom said. + +The boy and the girl nodded. They decided to enjoy the mist from afar. They learned that some things are better to look at than to touch. They also learned that their mom knew a lot of words and things. They thanked their mom for taking them to the park and teaching them new words. Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them for being curious and careful. +Tom is a bald boy. He has no hair on his head. He likes to play with his friend Sam. Sam has a lot of hair. He has brown hair and curly hair. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. + +But there is a problem. The slide is very hot. The sun makes the slide hot. Tom feels the slide with his hand. It hurts his hand. He says, "Ow! The slide is hot!" + +Sam says, "Don't worry, Tom. I have an idea. I can help you." He takes off his hat. He has a big hat. He puts his hat on Tom's head. He says, "Here, Tom. You can wear my hat. It will protect your head from the hot slide." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are very kind." He puts on Sam's hat. It is big and soft. He feels cool and happy. + +Tom and Sam go on the slide. They have fun. They slide down and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big white dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Can we pet him?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, he is nice. His name is Spot," a man says. He is the dog's owner. + +Sara and Tom pet Spot. They rub his ears and his belly. Spot is happy. He barks and jumps. + +"Can we play with him?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, you can. He likes to fetch and run," the man says. He gives them a ball. + +Sara and Tom throw the ball. Spot runs and catches it. He brings it back. They do this many times. + +But then, Spot sees a squirrel. He drops the ball and chases the squirrel. He runs very fast. + +"Spot, come back!" the man calls. + +But Spot does not listen. He wants to catch the squirrel. + +"Spot, stop!" Sara and Tom shout. + +But Spot does not stop. He runs out of the park. He crosses the street. + +"Spot, no!" the man yells. + +But Spot does not hear. He is too busy. + +A car is coming. It is big and loud. It honks its horn. + +"Spot, look out!" Sara and Tom scream. + +But Spot does not look. He is too excited. + +The car brakes. It skids. It stops. + +Spot is safe. He is not hurt. He is lucky. + +The man runs to Spot. He hugs him. He scolds him. + +"Spot, you are a bad dog. You could have been hit by the car. You could have died. You must never run away like that. You must listen to me. Do you understand?" the man says. + +Spot looks at the man. He looks sorry. He wags his tail. He licks his face. + +"I'm sorry, Spot. I love you. But you have to be careful. You have to obey me. OK?" the man says. + +Spot nods. He barks. He agrees. + +Sara and Tom run to Spot. They hug him. They are glad he is OK. + +"Spot, you are a good dog. But you are also a silly dog. You scared us. You made us worry. You have to be smart. You have to stay with us. OK?" Sara and Tom say. + +Spot nods. He barks. He agrees. + +They all go back to the park. They play with the ball. They have fun. + +Spot does not chase squirrels. He does not run away. He does not refuse to listen. + +He stays with his friends. He is a happy dog. +Lily and Ben are playing with a big box. The box has many colorful stickers on it. Lily and Ben like stickers. They want to see what is inside the box. + +"Can we open the box?"

They open more books and learn more words. They have fun with the colorful books. They thank their mom for the big box. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces that make a picture of a farm. Lily and Ben like to find the pieces and snap them together. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a piece that does not fit. It is a piece of a car, not a farm. They wonder where it came from. They think it is a mystery. They look for more pieces of the car, but they cannot find any. They ask their mom and dad, but they do not know either. + +Lily and Ben decide to keep the piece of the car. They think it is special. They put it in a box and hide it under their bed. They do not tell anyone about it. + +The next day, Lily and Ben want to play with their puzzle again. They go to their room and look for the box. But the box is gone. They look under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but they cannot find it. They are sad and scared. They wonder who took their box and why. + +They hear a loud noise from the living room. They run to see what it is. They see their baby brother, Sam, sitting on the floor. He has the box in his hands. He has opened it and taken out the piece of the car. He has put it in his mouth and bitten it. He has broken it into two pieces. He is smiling and laughing. + +Lily and Ben are angry and sad. They cry and yell at Sam. They try to take the piece of the car from him, but he does not let go. He snaps at them and bites their fingers. He is tough and strong. He does not care about their puzzle or their mystery. He only cares about his fun. + +Lily and Ben give up and go back to their room. They look at their puzzle and see a hole where the piece of the car was. They feel like they have lost something important. They do not want to play with their puzzle anymore. They do not want to play with Sam anymore. They do not want to play with anything anymore. They are very unhappy. The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and hats and scarves and jewels. One day, she found a long white veil in the box. She put it on her head and pretended to be a bride. She felt very pretty and happy. + +She wanted to show her mom and dad her veil. She ran to the living room, where they were watching TV. She said, "Look at me, I'm a bride!" But they did not look at her. They were busy and tired. They said, "Not now, Lily, we're busy. Go play somewhere else." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought they did not love her. She ran out of the house with her veil. She did not see the big puddle on the street. She stepped on it and got her veil all wet and dirty. She cried and cried. She wanted her mom and dad to hug her and make her feel better. + +A kind lady saw her crying and came to help her. She said, "What's wrong, little girl? Why are you crying?" Lily told her what happened. She said, "My mom and dad don't love me. They don't care about my veil. They don't want to hug me." + +The lady said, "Oh, sweetie, I'm sure they love you very much. They were just busy and tired. Sometimes grown-ups have a lot of things to do and they forget to pay attention. But that doesn't mean they don't love you. They love you more than anything in the world. And I'm sure they would love to hug you and see your veil. Why don't you go back home and tell them how you feel?" + +Lily thought about what the lady said. She said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. I will go back home and talk to my mom and dad. I hope they will hug me and say sorry." She gave the lady a big hug and ran back home with her wet veil. + +When she got home, she saw her mom and dad waiting for her. They looked worried and sorry.

We're proud of you. And we love your veil. It's beautiful, even if it's wet and dirty." + +They all smiled and hugged and laughed. They learned to be more patient and kind to each other.

Please let me go up there. Please." + +The man shakes his head. He says, "No, no, you can't. You are too small and too young. You need to practice a lot and learn a lot before you can be a famous dancer. Maybe when you are older, you can try. But not now. Now you need to go back to your mom and dad. They are looking for you." + +Anna realizes that the man is right. She is too small and too young to be a famous dancer. She needs to practice a lot and learn a lot. She feels a little bit silly for running to the stage. She says, "OK, I'm sorry. I will go back to my mom and dad. Thank you for the towel." + +She takes the towel from the man and runs back to her mom and dad. They hug her and kiss her. They say, "We are so proud of you, Anna. You love to dance and you have a big dream. But you also need to be careful and listen to the grown-ups. They know what is best for you. Maybe one day, you will be a famous dancer. But for now, you are our famous dancer. And we love you very much." + +Anna smiles. She says, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love to dance. I will practice a lot and learn a lot. And maybe one day, I will be a famous dancer. But for now, I am happy to dance with you." + +She wraps the towel around her neck and dances with her mom and dad. They laugh and have fun.

The dog barks at them. Tom and Sue are scared. + +"Let's move away from the dog," Sue says. "It might bite us." + +But Tom is not smart. He thinks he is brave. He says, "No, I want to move closer to the dog. I want to touch it. It looks soft." + +Sue says, "Don't do that, Tom. It is stupid. The dog might not like it. It might hurt you." + +But Tom does not listen. He moves closer to the dog. He reaches out his hand. The dog growls. The dog snaps. The dog bites Tom's hand. Tom cries. He drops the ball. He runs away. + +Sue follows him. She helps him. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" + +Tom says, "No, I'm not okay. My hand hurts. The dog was bad. It was mean." + +Sue says, "The dog was not bad. It was scared. You were bad. You were mean. You did not respect the dog. You did not listen to me. You were stupid." + +Tom says, "You're right, Sue. I was stupid. I should have listened to you. I should have moved away from the dog. I learned my lesson. I will be more careful next time." + +Sue says, "That's good, Tom. I'm glad you learned your lesson. I hope your hand gets better soon. Come on, let's go home. Maybe we can play again next Sunday." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of listening to others, respecting animals, and being careful. +Sara and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park. Sara and Ben like the park. They can play on the swings and slides and see the ducks. + +On the way, they see a big billboard. It has a picture of a cake. The cake is pink. It has white cream and red berries. It looks yummy. + +"Mom, can we have cake?" Sara asks. + +"Sorry, sweetie, we don't have cake today. Maybe another day," Mom says. + +"But I want cake!" Sara says. She feels sad and angry. + +Ben looks at the billboard too. He thinks the cake looks good, but he is not as hungry as Sara. He has an idea. + +"Look, Sara, the cake is not real. It is just a picture. You can't eat a picture," Ben says. + +He points to a bird on the billboard. The bird is black and white. It has a long beak. + +"See, the bird is not real either. It is just a picture. You can't play with a picture," Ben says. + +Sara looks at the bird. She sees that Ben is right. The bird is not real. It is just a picture. She feels a little better. + +"Okay, Ben, I understand. The cake and the bird are not real. They are just pictures. But they are still pretty," Sara says. + +She smiles at Ben. Ben smiles back. + +"Maybe we can make our own cake and bird when we get home. We can use paper and crayons and glue. That would be fun," Ben says. + +Sara likes Ben's idea. She nods. + +"Yes, that would be fun. Let's do that," Sara says. + +Mom and Dad hear Sara and Ben talking. They are proud of them. They are good siblings. They are almost at the park. They can have more fun there. +Sara and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said she had a surprise for them. She told them to wait in the living room and not to peek. + +Sara and Tom sat on the couch and looked at the big TV. It was a modern TV. It had many colors and sounds. Sara and Tom liked to watch cartoons on it. But now they were too curious about the surprise. They wondered what it could be. + +They heard Mom in the kitchen. She was humming a song. They smelled something sweet and warm. It made their mouths water. They decided to sneak a look. They tiptoed to the door and peeked inside. + +They saw Mom taking a big pie out of the oven. It was a cherry pie. It had a golden crust and red filling. It looked delicious. Mom put the pie on the table and smiled. She saw Sara and Tom. + +"Did you peek?" she asked. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They felt a little guilty. But Mom did not look angry. She looked happy. + +"That's okay," she said. "The pie is for you. But you have to wait a little bit. The pie is too hot. It needs to settle. Then we can cut it and eat it. Do you want some ice cream with it?" + +Sara and Tom nodded again. They felt very happy. They said thank you to Mom. They went back to the living room and waited patiently. They knew the pie would be worth it. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the tree!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. Don't fall down," Lily said. + +They climbed the tree and found a big branch to sit on. They looked around and saw many things. They saw birds, flowers, clouds, and cars. They also saw a monkey. + +"Look, Lily, a monkey!" Tom said. + +"Wow, a monkey! Where did it come from?" Lily said. + +The monkey was brown and furry. It had a long tail and big ears. It was holding a yellow fruit. It looked at Lily and Tom and smiled. + +"Hello, monkey. What are you doing here?" Tom said. + +The monkey did not answer. It peeled the fruit and took a bite. It made a funny face and spat out the fruit. + +"Yuck, sour!" the monkey said. + +Lily and Tom laughed. They wanted to try the fruit too. They asked the monkey to share. + +"Please, monkey, can we have some of your fruit?" Lily said. + +The monkey nodded and threw the fruit to Lily and Tom. They caught the fruit and peeled it. They took a bite and made the same funny face as the monkey. + +"Yuck, sour!" they said. + +They spat out the fruit and threw it away. They did not like the fruit. They liked the monkey. + +"Thank you, monkey, for sharing your fruit. But we don't like it. It is too sour," Tom said. + +The monkey shrugged and jumped to another branch. It found another fruit and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. + +"Mmm, sweet!" the monkey said. + +Lily and Tom watched the monkey and smiled. They forgot about the sour fruit. They were happy to see the monkey. They wanted to play with the monkey. + +"Monkey, monkey, come back. Let's play together," Lily said. + +The monkey looked at Lily and Tom and nodded. It jumped back to their branch and joined them. They played in the tree and had fun. They did not want to leave the tree. They forgot about everything else. They only remembered the monkey. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had a big hose that could spray water. They liked to spray each other and the plants and the dog. + +"Spray me, spray me!" Lily shouted, running around. + +"OK, OK!" Ben said, aiming the hose at her. He sprayed her with a big splash of water. She laughed and sprayed him back. + +They had so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them. She was in the house, looking for them. + +"Lily, Ben, where are you?" she asked. She looked out of the window and saw them playing with the hose. She smiled, but then she saw something else. She saw the mattress. + +The mattress was on the grass, next to the fence. It was their old mattress that they did not need anymore. Mom had put it there to give it away to someone who needed it. But now it was wet. Very wet. The hose had sprayed it too. + +"Oh no, the mattress!" Mom said. She ran outside and turned off the hose. She looked at the mattress. It was soaked and dirty. + +"Lily, Ben, what have you done?" she asked. She was not happy. + +Lily and Ben stopped playing. They looked at the mattress. They looked at Mom. They felt bad. + +"We're sorry, Mom," they said. "We did not see the mattress. We were just playing." + +Mom sighed. She knew they did not mean to ruin the mattress. But she was still upset. + +"The mattress was for someone who needed it," she said. "But now it is ruined. No one will want it. How will we get rid of it?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They wanted to help Mom. They had an idea. + +"Maybe we can dry it," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can clean it," Ben said. + +They looked at the hose. They looked at the sun. They looked at the distant hill. + +"Maybe we can take it there," they said together. + +They pointed at the hill. There was a big windmill on top of it. They had seen it before. It was always spinning and making noise. + +"Maybe the windmill can dry and clean the mattress," they said. + +Mom looked at them. She looked at the hill. She looked at the mattress. She shook her head. + +"That's a silly idea," she said. "The windmill is too far. And it is not for drying and cleaning mattresses. It is for making electricity." + +Lily and Ben did not understand. They thought the windmill was cool. They thought it could do anything. + +"Please, Mom, can we try?" they asked. "Please, please, please?" + +Mom looked at their faces. They were so cute and hopeful. She smiled. + +"OK, OK," she said. "But only if you help me carry the mattress. And only if you promise to be careful." + +Lily and Ben cheered. They hugged Mom. They grabbed the mattress. They dragged it to the car. They put it on the roof. They tied it with a rope. They got in the car. They drove to the hill. + +They did not know if the windmill could dry and clean the mattress. But they wanted to find out. They wanted to make Mom happy. They wanted to have an adventure. +Anna and Ben were playing dress-up in their room. They had many hats, coats, and shoes to try on. Anna found a blue tie in a box. She liked the tie very much. + +"Look, Ben, I have a tie!" Anna said. "I can be a teacher or a doctor or a lawyer." + +Ben looked at the tie and smiled. He had an idea. "Or you can be a spy, Anna. Spies wear ties to look smart and hide things. Do you want to play spies with me?" + +Anna nodded. She liked to play spies with Ben. They were very good at finding clues and solving mysteries. "Yes, let's play spies, Ben. What is our mission?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He was very thoughtful. He wanted to make the game fun and exciting. He looked around the room and saw a big teddy bear on the bed. He pointed at the bear and whispered. + +"Our mission is to find out what the teddy bear is hiding. He looks very suspicious. Maybe he has a secret map or a code or a treasure. We have to be very sneaky and careful. Are you ready, Anna?" + +Anna was ready. She put the tie around her neck and tucked the end under her shirt. She felt very smart and brave. She followed Ben as they crawled on the floor towards the bed. They tried not to make any noise or attract any attention. + +They reached the bed and peeked at the teddy bear. He was lying on his back, holding a book in his paws. He looked very cozy and happy. Anna and Ben were puzzled. What was he hiding? + +They decided to look closer. They climbed on the bed and gently lifted the book from the bear's paws. They opened the book and saw many pictures and words. They recognized some of the words. They were names of animals and plants and places. They realized it was a book about nature. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They understood what the teddy bear was hiding. He was hiding his love for nature. He liked to learn about the world and see new things. He was not a spy, he was a explorer. + +Anna and Ben felt happy for the teddy bear. They decided to join him in his adventure. They put the book back in his paws and cuddled with him on the bed. They looked at the pictures and read the words together. They learned many new things and had fun. + +They were not spies anymore, they were explorers too. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They pretended it was a fire truck that could put out fires and save people. + +One day, they saw a big mountain with smoke coming out of it. They wondered what it was. They asked their mom, who was busy in the kitchen. + +"That is a volcano, boys. It is very hot and dangerous. You should not go near it," she said. + +But Ben and Sam did not listen. They wanted to see the volcano up close. They took their big red truck and sneaked out of the house. They drove the truck along the road, until they reached the foot of the mountain. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said, pointing at the smoke. "It looks like a cloud. Maybe we can touch it." + +"Let's go, let's go!" Sam said, excited. He pushed the truck up the hill, with Ben following him. + +They did not see the signs that said "Keep Out" and "Danger". They did not hear the rumbling sound that came from the volcano. They did not feel the ground shaking under their feet. + +They only saw the smoke, and they wanted to reach it. + +They got closer and closer, until they were right next to the crater. They looked inside, and saw a pool of red and orange liquid. It looked like fire. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said again. "It looks like gold. Maybe we can take some. Then we will be rich." + +"Let's do it, let's do it!" Sam said, eager. He grabbed a stick and dipped it into the liquid. He pulled it out, and saw a shiny blob on the end. + +"Look, I got some!" he said, showing it to Ben. + +But before Ben could say anything, the volcano erupted. A loud boom filled the air, and a jet of fire and rocks shot out of the crater. It hit Ben and Sam and their big red truck, and burned them to ashes. + +They never got to touch the smoke, or take the gold, or be rich. + +They never got to go back to their mom, who was waiting for them in the kitchen. +Lila was a little girl who liked to admire animals. She had many books with pictures of animals, and she loved to look at them and learn their names. Her favorite animal was the leopard, because it had spots and could run very fast. She wished she could see a real leopard someday. + +One day, her mom took her to the zoo. Lila was very happy and excited. She wanted to see all the animals, but especially the leopard. She held her mom's hand and walked around the zoo, looking at the monkeys, the elephants, the giraffes, and the lions. She saw many animals, but she did not see the leopard. + +She asked her mom, "Where is the leopard, mom? I want to see the leopard." Her mom said, "The leopard is in that cage over there, but it is hiding. Maybe it is sleeping or shy. We can wait and see if it comes out." Lila nodded and walked with her mom to the cage. She looked inside, but she could not see the leopard. She only saw some rocks and trees. + +Lila was sad. She wanted to admire the leopard, but it was not there. She said, "Mom, can we go closer to the cage? Maybe I can see the leopard better." Her mom said, "No, Lila, we have to stay behind the fence. The cage is locked and the leopard is dangerous. It can bite and scratch. We have to be careful and respect the animals." Lila did not listen. She wanted to see the leopard so much. She let go of her mom's hand and ran to the cage. She climbed over the fence and pushed the gate. The gate was not locked. It opened. + +Lila was happy. She thought she could see the leopard now. She walked inside the cage and looked around. She saw a big, yellow, spotted animal lying on a rock. It was the leopard. Lila smiled and said, "Hello, leopard. You are so pretty. I admire you." She walked closer to the leopard and reached out her hand to touch it. + +The leopard was not happy. It was hungry and angry. It did not like the little girl who came into its cage. It did not want to be admired. It wanted to be left alone. It saw the little girl as a tasty snack. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It growled and jumped on the little girl. It bit her and scratched her. It hurt her very much. + +Lila was scared and hurt. She screamed and cried. She wanted her mom. She wanted to go away. She did not like the leopard anymore. She wished she had listened to her mom. But it was too late. The leopard had caught her and did not let her go. The leopard ate her. Lila was gone. The end. +Tim and Anna like to play hide and seek in the park. They are very enthusiastic and run fast to find good spots. Tim is the seeker and he counts to ten. Anna hides behind a big wall near the slide. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Tim shouts. He looks around and sees the slide, the swings, the sandbox and the bench. But he does not see Anna. He runs to the slide and looks behind it. No Anna. He runs to the swings and looks under them. No Anna. He runs to the sandbox and looks inside it. No Anna. He runs to the bench and looks over it. No Anna. + +"Where are you, Anna?" Tim calls. He feels sad. He thinks he has lost Anna. He does not like to play hide and seek alone. + +Anna hears Tim and smiles. She is very good at hiding. She thinks Tim will never find her. She waits for him to come closer to the wall. She wants to surprise him and say "boo!" + +But Tim does not come closer to the wall. He walks away from the wall. He looks at the gate of the park. He thinks maybe Anna has left the park. He feels more sad. He does not want to lose Anna. + +"Tim, Tim, where are you?" Anna calls. She does not hear Tim. She thinks he has found her. She jumps out from behind the wall and says "boo!" + +But there is no one there. She looks around and sees the slide, the swings, the sandbox and the bench. But she does not see Tim. She runs to the slide and looks behind it. No Tim. She runs to the swings and looks under them. No Tim. She runs to the sandbox and looks inside it. No Tim. She runs to the bench and looks over it. No Tim. + +"Where are you, Tim?" Anna calls. She feels scared. She thinks she has lost Tim. She does not like to hide alone. + +Tim hears Anna and turns around. He sees her running towards him. He smiles. He has not lost Anna. He runs to her and hugs her. + +"Anna, Anna, I found you!" Tim says. + +"Tim, Tim, I found you!" Anna says. + +They are happy. They have not lost each other. They like to play hide and seek together. They are very enthusiastic and run fast to find new spots. +Lily loved to watch cartoons on TV. She liked the funny animals and the silly noises they made. She always watched them with her big brother Sam, who was very nice to her. He helped her with snacks and toys and told her the names of the animals. + +One day, Sam had to go to school and Lily had to stay home with Mom. Mom said she had to do some work on her computer and Lily could watch cartoons in the living room. Lily was happy and ran to the TV. She turned it on and saw her favorite cartoon, the one with the bunny and the duck. + +She laughed and clapped as the bunny and the duck chased each other and played tricks. She wanted to show Mom how funny they were, so she got up and went to the office. But when she opened the door, she saw that Mom was not there. The office was empty. + +Lily felt scared and confused. Where was Mom? Did she leave her alone? She started to cry and panic. She ran back to the living room, hoping to see Mom there. But she only saw the TV, and the cartoon was over. The screen was black and silent. + +Lily felt even more scared and alone. She didn't know what to do. She sat on the couch and sobbed. She wished Sam was here. He would hug her and make her feel better. He would find Mom and bring her back. + +She didn't know that Mom had just gone to the kitchen to make some coffee. She didn't hear Mom calling her name. She didn't see Mom coming back to the office and noticing that she was gone. She didn't see Mom looking for her in the house, worried and sorry. + +She only saw the empty TV and the empty room. She only felt the panic in her chest and the tears on her face. She only wanted her brother and her mother. She only wanted to watch cartoons. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves. They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. + +"Look, Sara, a big leaf!" Ben said. He picked up a leaf that was bigger than his hand. It was red and yellow and brown. + +"Wow, that's a nice leaf, Ben. Can I see?" Sara asked. + +Ben gave the leaf to Sara. She looked at it and smiled. She had an idea. + +"Let's ride the leaf, Ben. Like a boat!" she said. + +She put the leaf on the ground and sat on it. She made a sound like a motor. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" + +Ben sat behind her. He made a sound like a horn. "Beep, beep, beep!" + +They pretended to ride the leaf around the park. They saw ducks, dogs, and flowers. They waved to other children. + +They had fun riding the leaf. They were persistent. They did not want to stop. + +But then, a gust of wind came. It blew the leaf away. Sara and Ben fell off. + +"Oh no, our leaf!" Sara cried. + +"Come back, leaf!" Ben shouted. + +They chased the leaf, but it was too fast. It flew over the fence and out of sight. + +Sara and Ben were sad. They lost their leaf. + +They hugged each other. They were still friends. + +"Maybe we can find another leaf, Sara. A bigger one!" Ben said. + +"Maybe, Ben. Or maybe we can ride something else. Like a bike!" Sara said. + +They smiled. They had more ideas. + +They ran to the playground. They looked for something to ride. They were persistent. They did not give up. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they find a big book with pictures of space. They see stars, planets, moons and rockets. + +"Wow, space is so colorful!" Lily says. "I want to go there and see more." + +"Me too," Ben says. "But how can we go to space? It is very far and high." + +They think and think. Then they have an idea. They go to the garage and find some cardboard boxes, paint, tape and scissors. They work hard and make a rocket. They paint it with many colors and put a window on it. + +"Look, our rocket is ready!" Lily says. "Let's go to space!" + +They put on their helmets and get inside the rocket. They count down from ten to one and pretend to blast off. They look through the window and imagine they see space. + +"Look, there is the sun!" Ben says. "It is very bright and hot." + +"And there is the earth!" Lily says. "It is very big and blue." + +They see other planets and stars too. They learn their names and colors. They have fun and talk to each other. + +They play for a long time. Then they hear their moms calling them for lunch. They land their rocket and get out. + +"Did you have fun?" their moms ask. + +"Yes, we did!" Lily and Ben say. "We went to space and learned a lot." + +They show their moms their book and their rocket. Their moms are proud of them. + +"That's great!" their moms say. "You are very creative and smart. You can learn anything if you use your imagination and work together." + +Lily and Ben smile and hug their moms. They are happy. They learned that space is colorful and that they can teach each other new things. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the cabin. They liked the cabin. It was big and cozy. They had toys and books and blankets. They pretended to be pirates and explorers and astronauts. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. The cabin started to shake. The toys and books and blankets fell on the floor. Lily and Ben were scared. They hugged each other. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a monster. A big, weird monster." + +They heard another loud noise. The cabin shook again. They saw a shadow outside the window. It looked like a big, weird monster. Lily and Ben screamed. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was their dad. + +"Hey, kids, don't be afraid. It's just me. I'm sorry I scared you. I was trying to fix the roof. It was broken. The noise and the shaking were from my hammer and nails. There's no monster. Come out and see." + +Lily and Ben stopped screaming. They let go of each other. They ran to the door. They opened it. They saw their dad. He was smiling. He had a hammer and nails in his hands. He had a ladder and a toolbox next to the cabin. + +"Dad, you're not a monster!" Lily said. + +"Of course not, silly. I'm your dad. I love you. I'm sorry I made you scared. Do you want to help me fix the roof?" he said. + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. + +They hugged their dad. They climbed the ladder. They helped him fix the roof. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. They liked the cabin. They liked their dad. He was not a big, weird monster. He was a big, nice dad. +Lila loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She danced all the time. + +One day, Lila found a box of pastels in her room. They were very pretty. They had many colors: red, yellow, blue, green, pink, and more. Lila wanted to draw with them. She took a pastel and drew on the wall. She drew a big sun, a flower, and a butterfly. She smiled. She liked her drawing. + +But then, her mom came in and saw the wall. She was not happy. She was angry. She said, "Lila, what did you do? You made a mess. You cannot draw on the wall. That is bad. You have to clean it up. And you have to say sorry." + +Lila felt bad. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She did not know that drawing on the wall was bad. She said, "Sorry, mom. I just wanted to make a pretty picture. I like pastels. They are pretty." + +Her mom said, "I know, Lila. But pastels are for paper, not for walls. Walls are not for drawing. They are for hanging pictures. If you want to draw, you have to use paper. And you have to ask me first. Do you understand?" + +Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will not draw on the wall again. I will use paper. And I will ask you first. Can I have some paper, please?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, Lila. You can have some paper. And you can have some pastels, too. But only if you promise to clean the wall first. And to be careful with them. And to share them with your brother. Can you do that?" + +Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I promise. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you, too, Lila. And I love your dancing. But sometimes, you have to stop dancing and listen to me. And to follow the rules. That is good. That is how you learn. And how you grow. And how you make me proud." + +Lila hugged her back. She said, "OK, mom. I will try. I will stop dancing and listen to you. And follow the rules. But can I dance after I clean the wall?" + +Her mom laughed. She said, "Of course, Lila. You can dance after you clean the wall. And I will dance with you. Because dancing is fun. And dancing is good. As long as you do it at the right time. And in the right place. And with the right people." + +Lila smiled. She said, "OK, mom. Let's dance. But first, let's clean the wall. And then, let's draw. And then, let's dance. And then, let's hug. And then, let's dance some more." + +Her mom nodded. She said, "OK, Lila. Let's do that. And let's use the brown pastel. Because brown is your dad's favorite color. And he will be home soon. And he will love to see your drawing. And to join our dancing. And to hug us both. And to tell us how much he loves us." + +Lila clapped. She said, "Yay, mom. Let's use the brown pastel. And let's make a big heart. And write our names. And say, 'We love you, dad.' And then, let's dance. And then, let's hug. And then, let's dance some more." + +The end. +Anna and Ben were playing near the lake. They liked to look at the water and the fish and the ducks. Sometimes they threw stones and watched the ripples. + +"Look, Ben, what is that?" Anna said, pointing to something shiny on the shore. "Let's go and see." + +They ran to the shiny thing and saw that it was a metal box. It had a lock and a handle. Anna tried to open it, but it was too hard. + +"Maybe there is something inside," Ben said. "Maybe it is a treasure." + +He picked up a stick and hit the lock. The lock broke and the box opened. Anna and Ben looked inside and saw a lot of wires and buttons and lights. + +"What is it?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Let's examine it." + +He touched one of the buttons and the box made a loud noise. It sounded like a siren. Anna and Ben were frightened. They thought they had done something bad. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouted. "Maybe it is a bomb!" + +They dropped the stick and the box and ran away from the lake. They did not stop until they reached their house. They told their mom what they had found and what they had done. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my darlings. It was not a bomb. It was a radio. Someone must have left it there by mistake. You did not do anything wrong. But next time, be careful with things you don't know. They might be dangerous or fragile or dirty. And don't go near the lake without me. It is not safe for little children." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said they were sorry. They were glad they were not in trouble. They were also glad they had each other. They hugged their mom and each other and went to play with their toys. They forgot about the box and the lake and the noise. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. Today they both want the red car. + +"Give me the car!" Lily says. She pulls the car from Ben's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He pulls the car back from Lily's hand. + +They tug and tug until the car flies out of their hands. It hits the window and makes a loud noise. The window breaks and the car falls outside. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. They look at the broken window and the car on the ground. The car is very high. They cannot reach it. + +They hear their mom coming. She is angry. She sees the broken window and the car outside. + +"What happened here?" she asks. She is not happy. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They do not want to fight anymore. They hug each other and say sorry to their mom. + +"We broke the window and the car, mom. We are sorry. We were fighting over the car. We will not fight again," they say. + +Mom sighs. She is glad they are sorry. She hugs them and says she loves them. + +"Next time, share your toys and play nicely. Fighting is not good. And be careful with the window. It is high and dangerous," she says. + +She helps them clean up the mess and calls dad to fix the window. She gives them another car to play with. Lily and Ben say thank you and smile. They play with the car together and do not fight. They are happy. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the big wardrobe. The wardrobe had many clothes and hats and shoes that they could try on and pretend to be different people. + +One day, Tom had a curious idea. He wanted to measure how big the wardrobe was. He took a long string from his toy box and said to Anna, "Let's see how long the wardrobe is. Maybe we can find a secret door inside it, like in the story." + +Anna liked the idea and helped Tom. They tied one end of the string to the door handle and opened the wardrobe. They walked inside and pulled the string with them. They saw many coats and dresses and scarves hanging from the rails. They felt the soft and warm and shiny fabrics. They smelled the nice and funny and old smells. + +They reached the back wall of the wardrobe and stopped. They looked at the string and saw that it was very long. Tom said, "Wow, the wardrobe is very big. Maybe there is a secret door behind this wall. Let's push it and see." + +Anna nodded and they both pushed the wall with their hands. But the wall did not move. It was hard and solid and cold. They pushed harder and harder, but nothing happened. They felt sad and disappointed. They said, "Oh, there is no secret door. The wardrobe is just a wardrobe." + +They turned around and walked back to the door. They untied the string and put it back in the toy box. They closed the wardrobe and looked at each other. They smiled and said, "But it was fun to measure it and explore it. Maybe we can find another thing to measure and another thing to explore tomorrow." They hugged each other and went to play with their toys. They were happy and curious twins. +Tom is a chubby boy who likes to eat a lot. He likes to fill his plate with food and fill his mouth with bites. He does not like to share his food or play with others. He only likes to eat and sleep. + +One day, he finds a big cake in the kitchen. It is his mom's birthday cake, but he does not know that. He thinks it is for him. He takes a knife and cuts a big slice. He fills his mouth with cake and smiles. He thinks he is very clever. + +But then he hears his mom coming. She is with his dad and his sister. They are carrying presents and balloons. They want to surprise his mom with the cake. They open the door and see Tom with the cake. They are very angry and sad. + +"Tom, what have you done?" his mom asks. "This was my birthday cake! How could you be so greedy and selfish?" + +Tom feels bad. He wants to say sorry, but his mouth is full of cake. He tries to swallow, but he chokes. He cannot breathe. He falls to the floor and turns blue. + +His mom and dad and sister scream. They try to help him, but it is too late. Tom is gone. He filled his mouth with cake, but he did not fill his heart with love. He did not wake up again. +Lila and Ben were playing with cubes. They liked to stack them and make towers. Lila had a big cube and Ben had a small cube. Lila wanted to put her big cube on top of Ben's small cube, but Ben said no. + +"No, Lila, you can't do that. My cube is too small. Your cube will fall and break my cube. Then I will be upset," Ben said. + +"But I want to make a tall tower. It will be fun. Please, Ben, let me try," Lila said. + +Lila tried to put her big cube on Ben's small cube, but Ben was right. The big cube was too heavy and it fell down. It hit Ben's small cube and made a loud noise. Ben's small cube cracked and split in two. Ben was very upset. He cried and shouted at Lila. + +"Look what you did, Lila! You broke my cube! That was my favorite cube! You are a bad friend! Go away!" Ben said. + +Lila felt sorry. She did not mean to break Ben's cube. She wanted to play with him and have fun. She did not like to see him cry and shout. She wanted to make him happy again. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not want to break your cube. I was silly. Can I help you fix it?" Lila said. + +She picked up the two pieces of Ben's cube and tried to put them together. But they did not fit. They were broken for good. Lila was sad. She did not know what to do. + +Then she had an idea. She took her big cube and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. You can have my cube. It is big and strong. It will not break. You can make a tall tower with it. I will support you. I will help you hold it. We can be friends again," Lila said. + +Ben looked at Lila and her big cube. He stopped crying and shouting. He wiped his tears and smiled. He took Lila's big cube and thanked her. + +"Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. You are kind and generous. I like your cube. It is big and strong. It will make a tall tower. You can support me. You can help me hold it. We can be friends again," Ben said. + +Lila and Ben hugged and smiled. They played with the big cube and made a tall tower. They supported each other and had fun. They were happy again. +Lily loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She always wore her pink apron and stirred the soup or rolled the dough. She liked to taste the food and say, "Yummy!" Mom smiled and gave her a hug. + +One day, Lily saw a big cake on the table. It had white frosting and red cherries on top. It looked so good. Lily wanted to eat it all by herself. She did not want to share it with her dad or her brother. She was selfish. + +She waited until mom went to the bathroom. Then she climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. She grabbed a big piece and stuffed it in her mouth. She did not hear mom coming back. + +"Who took a bite of the cake?" mom asked. She saw Lily with frosting on her face and crumbs on her apron. She was angry. "Lily, did you do this? This cake is for grandma's birthday. How could you be so selfish?" + +Lily felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was hungry. I wanted the cake. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mom sighed. She said, "Lily, you have to learn to share. You can't take things that are not yours. You have to think of others. Grandma will be sad if she sees the cake like this. What can we do to fix it?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Maybe we can make another cake. Or we can put more frosting and cherries on this one. Or we can pray to God and ask him to help us." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's a good idea, Lily. Let's pray to God and ask him to forgive us and to bless grandma. And then let's try to make the cake look nice again. And next time, you have to ask before you take something, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you. And I love grandma. And I love cake. But I will share it." + +Mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. And I'm proud of you for being honest and for wanting to make things right. Come on, let's pray and then let's bake." +Ben and Lily were playing with their dog, Spot. Spot was a big, brown dog who liked to run and jump. Ben and Lily threw a ball for Spot to catch. Spot ran after the ball and brought it back to them. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Ben said, and gave him a hug. He felt Spot's collar around his neck. It was red and shiny. Ben liked Spot's collar. He wanted to try it on. + +"Can I wear Spot's collar, Lily?" he asked his sister. + +"No, Ben, that's silly!" Lily said. "Spot's collar is for Spot, not for you. You have your own clothes." + +"But I want to see how it looks," Ben said. He reached for Spot's collar and tried to pull it off. Spot did not like that. He growled and shook his head. Ben did not let go. He tried to twist the collar off. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. The collar was too tight for him. It hurt his neck. He wished he had listened to Lily. + +"Ben, stop it!" Lily said. She ran to help him. She pushed the button on the collar and made it easy to open. She took the collar off Ben's neck and put it back on Spot's. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. + +Ben rubbed his neck. He felt sorry for being naughty. He said sorry to Lily and Spot. + +"I'm okay," he said. "I learned my lesson. Spot's collar is not for me. It's for Spot. He is a good dog. I love him." + +He gave Spot another hug. Spot licked his face. Lily smiled. She was glad Ben was okay. She threw the ball again for Spot to catch. They all played happily together. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big slide. Lily and Sam want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. Wait for your turn and hold on tight," Mom says. + +Lily and Sam run to the slide. They see a line of kids. They wait for their turn. Lily goes first. She climbs up the stairs. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Lily says. + +Sam goes next. He climbs up the stairs. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He smiles. + +"That was fun, too!"

Lily asks. + +"I am Ben," the little boy says. + +"Do you want to go on the slide with us?" Sam asks. + +"I do, but I am scared. The slide is too big," Ben says. + +"Don't be scared. The slide is not too big. It is fun. We can help you," Lily says. + +"Okay, I will try," Ben says. + +Lily and Sam hold Ben's hand. They climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide.

She likes Ben's snake. + +"Can I touch it?" she asks. + +"Okay, but be careful," Ben says. "The scissors are sharp." + +Mia reaches for the snake. But she is not careful. She grabs the scissors too. She cuts Ben's finger by mistake. + +"Ow!" Ben cries. "That hurts!" + +He drops the snake and the scissors. He holds his finger. It is bleeding. + +Mia is scared. She did not mean to hurt Ben. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she says. "Are you okay?" + +She hugs Ben. She feels bad. + +Ben is sad. His finger stings. But he sees Mia's face. She is sorry. He knows she is his friend. + +"It's okay," he says. "It was an accident. It can happen." + +He hugs Mia back. He feels better. + +They go to find mom. She can help them. She can put a band-aid on Ben's finger. She can give them a kiss. She can make them happy again. +Anna was a princess who liked to play dress-up. She had many pretty things in her big closet. She had dresses, shoes, hats, and jewels. But her favorite thing was a veil. It was white and soft and sparkled in the sun. She liked to wear it on her head and pretend she was a bride. + +One day, she was playing with her veil in the garden. She saw a butterfly with blue wings. She wanted to catch it and make it her friend. She ran after it with her veil flying behind her. She did not see the fence that was in her way. She bumped into it and fell down.

She wanted her mommy. + +Her mommy heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw Anna on the ground and her veil on the fence. She ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mommy, mommy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Anna sobbed. "I broke my veil. It was so pretty and it belonged to me. Now it's gone." + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, my darling," her mommy said. "You are not hurt badly, just a little scratch. And your veil is not gone, it's just torn. We can fix it, don't worry. It's only a thing, and things can be mended. But you are my precious girl, and you belong to me. And I belong to you. And nothing can change that." + +She kissed Anna's cheek and wiped her tears. She took her veil from the fence and folded it gently. She carried Anna to the house and gave her a cookie and some milk. She told her a story about a princess and a butterfly. She made her smile and laugh. She sewed her veil with a needle and a thread. She made it whole again. + +Anna was happy. She hugged her mommy and thanked her. She put on her veil and twirled around.

They found some brown ones and some yellow ones. They were happy. + +But Lily still thought about the red mushroom. She wondered how it felt. She wondered if it was soft or hard. She wondered if it smelled good or bad. She wanted to know. + +The next day, Lily and Tom went to the forest again. They played with the animals and the flowers. But Lily saw the red mushroom. It was still there. It looked even nicer. Lily forgot her promise. She sneaked away from Tom. She went to the red mushroom. She reached out her hand. She touched it. + +Suddenly, she felt a sting. She screamed. The mushroom was not nice. It was mean. It had tiny needles. They hurt her hand. She cried. Tom heard her. He ran to her. He saw her hand. He saw the mushroom. He was angry.

"They are very pretty." + +"I have two dolls with brown hair and green eyes," Anna said, showing them to Lily. "They are very nice." + +They smiled and hugged their dolls. They were happy to share their toys and play together. + +But then, Tom came in. Tom was Lily's brother and he was very nosy. He always wanted to see what his sister was doing and touch her things. He saw the dolls on the floor and walked over to them. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked, picking up one of Lily's dolls. "This doll is ugly. Her hair is too yellow and her eyes are too big." + +He threw the doll on the couch and grabbed another one. He did not care that Lily and Anna were sorting their dolls and that he was messing them up. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily shouted, running to get her doll. "You are being mean and rude. These are our dolls and we like them. Go away and leave us alone." + +Anna nodded and helped Lily to get her dolls back. They glared at Tom and hugged their dolls. They did not want him to ruin their fun. + +Tom frowned and shrugged. He did not understand why his sister was so angry. He thought he was just being funny and curious. He did not like dolls anyway. He liked cars and trucks and planes. + +He walked away and looked for something else to play with. He hoped to find something more interesting and exciting than dolls. He was still very nosy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and looked like a hat. + +"Let's try it on!" Lily said.

It was too small and got stuck. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He pulled and pulled, but the mushroom did not come off. He felt confused and scared. + +"Help me, Lily, help me!" he shouted. + +Lily ran to him and tried to help. She pulled and pulled, but the mushroom did not come off. She felt confused and scared too. + +"Help, help, help!" they both screamed. + +But no one heard them. The mushroom was magic and made them quiet. It also made them sleepy and sick. They fell to the ground and did not wake up. + +The next day, their mom and dad came looking for them. They saw them lying under the tree, with the mushroom on Ben's head. They were very sad and angry. + +They tried to take off the mushroom, but it did not come off. They tried to wake them up, but they did not wake up.

If you fight again, I will take away your toys." + +Tim and Sam are scared of Mom. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will not fight again." They lie down on their sides and try to sleep.

She said, "Mom, I want my crayons back. I want to draw a rainbow. I want to see the colors." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know, Lily, I know. But we can't get your crayons back. They are in the trash. They are broken. They are empty. But don't worry, Lily, I have an idea. We can go to the store and buy new crayons. We can restore your colors. We can make you happy again.

She runs after the bubble with Ben. They try to catch it with their fingers. + +But the bubble is too fast. It flies over a fence and into a yard. There is a dog in the yard. The dog sees the bubble and barks. + +"Wow, a dog!" Ben says. He likes dogs. He wants to pet the dog. + +"Wait, Ben, we don't know the dog!" Lily says. She is scared of dogs. She thinks the dog might bite them. + +Ben does not listen. He climbs over the fence and follows the bubble. The dog runs to the bubble and pokes it with his nose. The bubble pops and makes a sound. + +"Pop!" Ben says. He laughs. He thinks the dog is funny. + +But the dog does not like Ben. The dog thinks Ben is a stranger. The dog growls and shows his teeth. He wants to protect his yard. + +"Ben, come back!" Lily says. She is worried about Ben. She is a loyal friend. She climbs over the fence and grabs Ben's hand. + +"Sorry, dog, we didn't mean to bother you!" Lily says. She pulls Ben away from the dog. They run back to the park. + +"Are you okay, Ben?"

We're sorry! We heard a scary noise and we hid in our fort!" Lily said. + +"What scary noise?" Dad asked. + +"It sounded like a bear or a lion or a monster," Ben said. + +Dad smiled and shook his head. + +"That was not a bear or a lion or a monster. That was me. I was trying to make you laugh. I was pretending to be a dinosaur. Did I scare you?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and then at their dad. They realized he was joking. They felt silly and relieved. + +They laughed and said, "Yes, you scared us! But it was funny too. You're a good dinosaur, Dad!" + +Dad hugged them and said, "I'm sorry I scared you.

They had a fun and successful day. +Mia and Ben lived in a small village near the big river. They liked to play outside and explore the woods and fields. One day, they saw a gray cloud in the sky. It looked like rain. + +"Let's go home, Mia," Ben said. "We don't want to get wet." + +"No, Ben, let's go to the river first," Mia said. "I'm thirsty and I want to drink some water." + +"But the river is far and the cloud is near," Ben said. "We can drink at home." + +Mia did not listen to Ben. She ran to the river and bent down to drink. Ben followed her, but he was scared of the cloud. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. The cloud was angry and it started to pour rain. Mia and Ben got wet and cold. They tried to run back to the village, but the rain made the ground muddy and slippery. They fell down and got dirty. + +"Mia, why did you drink from the river?" Ben asked. "Now we are wet and dirty and the cloud is still angry." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia said. "I was thirsty and I did not think. Next time, I will listen to you." + +They hugged each other and waited for the rain to stop. They hoped their mom and dad would find them soon and take them home. They learned a lesson: to be careful and not to drink from the river when the cloud is gray. +Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with their family and friends. + +They help their mom make soup for lunch. They cut carrots and potatoes with a safe knife. They put them in a big pot with water and salt. They stir the soup with a big spoon. They smell the soup. It smells yummy. + +They set the table with plates and cups and spoons. They put a big cake in the middle. The cake has candles and frosting. They sing a song for their birthday. They blow the candles and make a wish. + +They eat the soup and the cake. They share with their family and friends. They say thank you and please. They are very polite. They enjoy the soup and the cake. They say yummy and smile. + +They play games and dance and laugh. They have fun. They hug their mom and dad and say I love you. They are very grateful. They have a wonderful birthday. They are very happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were lawyers and help people with their problems. Anna had a big book and a pen, and Ben had a phone and a hat. + +"Hello, this is lawyer Ben. How can I help you?" Ben said into the phone. + +"Hi, lawyer Ben. I need your help. My neighbor has an enormous dog that barks all the time and scares me. Can you make him stop?" Anna said, pretending to be a client. + +"Of course, I can help you. I will talk to your neighbor and tell him to be nice to you and his dog. Don't worry, I will solve your problem." Ben said, sounding confident. + +"Thank you, lawyer Ben. You are very kind and smart." Anna said, smiling. + +They were having fun, but then they heard their mom calling them. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time to leave. We have to go to the store and buy some food. Put away your toys and get your coats." Mom said. + +Anna and Ben did not want to leave. They wanted to keep playing. + +"Mom, can we play a little more? We are lawyers and we have important work to do." Ben said. + +"Sorry, kids, but we have to leave now. You can play later when we come back. Being a lawyer is fun, but you also need to eat and rest. Come on, let's go." Mom said. + +Anna and Ben sighed. They put away their toys and got their coats. They followed their mom to the car. They hoped they could play lawyers again soon. They liked to help people and use big words. +Ben and Lily were playing in the forest. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and birds. They saw a big log and ran to it. Maybe there were some bugs under the log. + +"Let's lift the log and see what's there," Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful. It looks heavy," Lily said. + +They grabbed the log and lifted it together. They saw a small animal with a long tail and sharp teeth. It was a fox. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. + +"Hello, fox. What are you doing under the log?" Lily asked. + +The fox was scared. It did not like to see people. It wanted to run away, but it was trapped under the log. + +"Please don't hurt me. I was just looking for some food. I'm hungry and cold," the fox said. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for the fox. They did not want to hurt it. They wanted to help it. + +"We won't hurt you. We are nice. We are Ben and Lily. We are friends," Ben said. + +He put the log down gently and moved away. He wanted to give the fox some space. + +"Can we be your friends too?" Lily asked. + +The fox looked at Ben and Lily. They seemed honest and kind. They did not have sticks or stones or traps. They had smiles and soft voices. + +"Maybe you can. I don't have many friends. I'm lonely and scared. I'm Fox. Nice to meet you," the fox said. + +He came out from under the log and sniffed Ben and Lily. They smelled good. They smelled like flowers and grass and cookies. + +"Nice to meet you too, Fox. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I do. Thank you for being nice to me. You are good friends," Fox said. + +He wagged his tail and licked Ben and Lily's faces. They laughed and hugged him. They were happy. They had a new friend. They played in the forest until it was time to go home. They promised to come back and see Fox again. Fox was happy too. He had found honest and kind friends. He was not lonely or scared anymore. He was glad they introduced themselves. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved chocolate. One day, their mom gave them a big chocolate cake to share. She said, "Be nice and cut the cake in half. One piece for each of you." + +But Ben and Lily did not want to share. They both wanted the bigger piece of cake. They started to fight and pull the cake. The cake broke into many small pieces. They were sad and angry. + +Then they heard a knock on the door. It was their friend Tom. He came to play with them. He saw the cake on the table and said, "Wow, that looks yummy! Can I have some?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They had been greedy and selfish. They had ruined the cake. They said, "Sorry, Tom. We don't have any cake for you. We fought over it and made a mess." + +Tom said, "That's okay. I have something better. Look!" He showed them a big box. He opened it and inside was a puzzle. It had many colorful pieces that fit together to make a picture. He said, "This is my new puzzle. It is very fun. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, please. That looks very fun. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +They forgot about the cake and started to play with the puzzle. They worked together and helped each other. They had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing and being kind is better than fighting and being greedy. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing and being kind is better than fighting and being greedy. +Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big bug on a leaf. It is green and has many legs. + +"Look, a bug!" Lila says. "What is it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe a caterpillar. It is very long and fat." + +They want to touch the bug, but they are afraid. They think it might bite them or run away. + +"Let's weigh it," Lila says. "Maybe it is heavy." + +"How do we weigh it?" Ben asks. + +Lila has an idea. She runs to the house and brings a small scale. She puts it on the ground next to the leaf. + +"Be careful," she says. "Don't scare the bug." + +She gently picks up the bug and puts it on the scale. The scale shows a number. + +"Wow, it is two grams," Lila says. "That is not heavy at all." + +The bug wiggles on the scale. It does not like to be held. It wants to go back to the leaf. + +"Let's put it back," Ben says. "It is not happy." + +They carefully lift the bug and place it on the leaf. The bug crawls away and hides under another leaf. + +"Bye, bug," Lila says. "Sorry for bothering you." + +They watch the bug for a while. Then they go to play with something else. + +They are happy. They learned something new. And they did not hurt the bug. The bug is safe. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They have fun. + +One day, Ben is sad. He does not want to play. He sits on a bench and looks at the ground. + +"What is wrong, Ben?" Mia asks. She sits next to him. + +"I miss my dog," Ben says. "He was old and sick. He went to sleep and did not wake up. He was my best friend. He was rough and furry and warm. He liked to lick my face and chase the ball. I miss him so much." + +Mia hugs Ben. She feels sorry for him. She knows how it is to miss someone. She misses her grandma, who lives far away. + +"I miss my grandma," Mia says. "She is nice and sweet and soft. She likes to bake cookies and read stories. She calls me on the phone, but I wish I could see her." + +Ben and Mia look at each other. They understand each other. They are still friends. They decide to play together. They share the ball and the kite. They have fun. + +They still miss their dog and their grandma, but they are not so sad. They have each other. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a big doll with a dress and a hat. Ben had a car with wheels and a button. Anna liked to be bossy and tell Ben what to do. + +"Ben, give me your car. I want to play with it," Anna said. + +"No, Anna. This is my car. You have your doll," Ben said. + +"But your car has a button. I like buttons. They make sounds and lights. Give it to me now!" Anna said. + +She tried to grab the car from Ben, but he held it tight. They both pulled and pushed, until the button broke off. The car stopped making sounds and lights. Anna and Ben were both sad and angry. + +"Look what you did, Anna! You broke my car! You are so mean and bossy!" Ben said. + +"It's your fault, Ben! You didn't share your car with me! You are so selfish and stingy!" Anna said. + +They both started to cry and shout. Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw the broken car and the doll on the floor. She was not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, what is going on here? Why are you fighting and crying?" Mom said. + +They both tried to tell their side of the story, but Mom stopped them. + +"I don't want to hear any excuses. You both behaved very badly. You didn't respect each other's toys. You didn't listen to each other's feelings. You didn't cooperate or compromise. You made each other suffer. That is not how siblings should treat each other. You should love and help each other. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for what they did. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We won't fight over toys again. We will share and play nicely. We will be kind and gentle. We love each other," Anna and Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they learned their lesson. + +"That's good, Anna and Ben. I'm proud of you. Now, let's see if we can fix the car and the doll. Maybe we can find a new button for the car. And maybe we can sew a new hat for the doll. What do you think?" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben agreed. They followed Mom to the kitchen, where they found some tools and materials. They worked together to repair the car and the doll. They had fun and learned something new. They realized that playing together was better than fighting alone. They thanked Mom for her help and her love. They were happy and grateful. +Tim and Lily are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every night, they tell each other stories before they sleep. + +One night, Tim says, "I had a funny dream last night. Do you want to hear it?" + +Lily nods. She likes to hear Tim's dreams. + +Tim says, "I dreamt that I was a big dragon. I had wings and fire and scales. I flew over the town and scared everyone. But then I saw a giant cake on a roof. I wanted to eat it, so I landed on the roof. But the roof was not strong. It broke and I fell inside the house. There were people inside. They screamed and ran away. I felt stupid. I just wanted cake." + +Lily laughs. She says, "That is a funny dream. I had a different dream. Do you want to hear it?" + +Tim nods. He likes to hear Lily's dreams. + +Lily says, "I dreamt that I was a princess. I had a dress and a crown and a castle. I had many friends and toys and books. But I was bored. I wanted to go outside and play. So I sneaked out of the castle. I saw a big hill. I wanted to climb it, so I ran to the hill. But the hill was not smooth. It had many steps. I tripped on a step and rolled down the hill. There were flowers and bees and rocks. They scratched and stung and hurt me. I felt stupid. I just wanted to play." + +Tim hugs Lily. He says, "That is a sad dream. I'm sorry you got hurt. But you are not stupid. You are brave and smart and fun. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugs Tim. She says, "I love you too, Tim. You are not stupid either. You are strong and cool and kind. We are the best twins ever." + +They smile and cuddle. They close their eyes and hope to have better dreams. +Anna loved her velvet doll. It was soft and red and had a pretty dress. She got it from her grandma for her birthday. It was her favorite toy. She named it Rose. + +One night, Anna had a bad dream. She saw a big, scary monster that wanted to take her velvet doll. She woke up and cried. She hugged her doll and whispered, "Don't worry, Rose. I will protect you." + +She heard a voice from her doll. It said, "Thank you, Anna. You are my best friend. You are very brave and kind. I have a secret to tell you. I am a magic doll. I can rise and fly when you need me." + +Anna was surprised and happy. She said, "Really? Can you show me?" + +The doll said, "Yes, but only when it is dark and quiet. Hold my hand and close your eyes. We will go on a unique adventure." + +Anna did as the doll said. She felt the doll rise and lift her up. She opened her eyes and saw the stars and the moon. They flew over the trees and the houses and the fields. They saw many beautiful things. Anna smiled and said, "This is amazing, Rose. You are the best doll ever." +Tom and Lily were having breakfast with their mom. They liked to eat toast with jam and butter. Mom gave them each a slice of toast and a knife to spread the jam. + +"Can I have the red jam, please?" Tom asked. He liked the red jam because it was sweet and fruity. + +"Can I have the purple jam, please?" Lily asked. She liked the purple jam because it was sour and tangy. + +Mom smiled and gave them the jars of jam. "Here you go, my loves. You can have any jam you want. But be careful not to make a mess." + +Tom and Lily thanked mom and started to spread the jam on their toast. But they did not notice that they were using too much jam. The jam dripped from their knives and their toast and fell on the table and the floor. + +"Oh no!" mom said when she saw the sticky mess. "What have you done? You wasted so much jam and made a big mess. That was very naughty of you." + +Mom's voice was harsh and loud. Tom and Lily felt scared and sad. They did not mean to make mom angry. They just wanted to enjoy their jam. + +"We are sorry, mom," Tom said. + +"We are sorry, mom," Lily said. + +They looked at mom with big eyes and hoped she would not be mad at them. + +Mom sighed and calmed down. She saw that Tom and Lily were sorry and did not know better. She loved them very much and did not want to hurt their feelings. + +"It's okay, my loves," mom said. "I know you did not do it on purpose. But next time, please use less jam and be more careful. Jam is not cheap and we don't want to waste food. And we don't want to have ants in the house." + +Mom hugged Tom and Lily and kissed them on their cheeks. She gave them a napkin to wipe their hands and faces. She helped them clean the table and the floor. Then she gave them another slice of toast with a little bit of jam. + +"Thank you, mom," Tom said. + +"Thank you, mom," Lily said. + +They ate their toast with jam and butter and smiled at mom. They learned their lesson and decided to be more careful with jam. They loved mom and mom loved them. They were a happy family. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll and Ben had a small car. Lily wanted to make her doll smaller, so she took the scissors from the table. She did not know that scissors were sharp and could cut things. + +"Look, Ben, I can shrink my doll with these," she said, holding the scissors. + +"No, Lily, don't do that! Scissors are not for toys, they are for paper. You will break your doll!" Ben said, trying to stop her. + +But Lily did not listen. She was curious and wanted to see what would happen. She snipped the doll's hair, then her dress, then her arms and legs. Soon, the doll was only a pile of pieces on the floor. + +Lily was shocked and sad. She realized she had made a big mistake. She started to cry. + +"See, Lily, I told you not to use the scissors. You are crazy!" Ben said, shaking his head. + +He felt sorry for his sister, though. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. We can try to fix your doll. Maybe Mom can help us. Come on, let's go find her." + +They left the scissors on the table and ran to their mom. They hoped she would not be angry with them. They learned a lesson that day: scissors are not for toys, they are for paper. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big house near the park. It was old and dark and scary. + +"Let's go see the house," Ben said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, no, no," Lily said. She was scared and careful. "There might be a ghost in the house. Ghosts are bad and mean. They can hurt us." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the house. He opened the door and went inside. Lily followed him. She did not want to be alone. + +Inside the house, it was cold and dark and quiet. Ben and Lily could not see much. They heard a noise. It was a loud and spooky noise. It sounded like a ghost. + +"Boo!" the noise said. "I am a ghost. I will get you." + +Ben and Lily were very afraid. They screamed and cried. They wanted to go back to the park. + +"Please, please, please, do not hurt us," they said. "We are sorry. We did not mean to come in your house." + +The noise laughed. It was not a ghost. It was a man. He was old and kind and funny. He lived in the house. He liked to play tricks on children. + +"I am not a ghost," he said. "I am a good man. I was just joking. Do not be scared. I will not hurt you." + +Ben and Lily were relieved and angry. They did not like the man's joke. It was not funny. It was mean. + +"Your joke was bad and mean," they said. "You scared us. You made us cry. You are not a good man. You are a bad man." + +The man felt sorry. He did not mean to scare them. He wanted to make them laugh. He apologized and gave them some candy. + +"I am sorry," he said. "I did not mean to scare you. I wanted to make you laugh. I am a good man. I like children. Here, have some candy." + +Ben and Lily took the candy. They were still mad, but they liked candy. They said thank you and goodbye. They ran out of the house. They did not want to see the man again. + +They hurried back to the park. They ate the candy and played some more. They had fun and forgot about the man and the house. They decided to never go near the house again. They learned to be careful and listen to each other. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw different things, like animals, flowers, and houses. Lily was drawing a big rainbow with many colors. Ben was drawing a car with wheels and windows. + +"Look at my rainbow!" Lily said, holding up her paper. "It is so pretty and bright!" + +"Look at my car!" Ben said, holding up his paper. "It is so fast and cool!" + +They looked at each other's drawings. Lily liked Ben's car, but she thought her rainbow was better. Ben liked Lily's rainbow, but he thought his car was better. + +"My drawing is nicer than yours!" Lily said, frowning. + +"No, mine is nicer than yours!" Ben said, frowning. + +They started to argue and yell. They did not want to share their crayons or paper. They did not want to play together anymore. + +Their teacher, Miss Lee, saw them fighting. She was sad and worried. She wanted them to be friends and have fun. She was a compassionate teacher. She walked over to them and said, "Lily and Ben, why are you frowning? What is wrong?" + +They told her about their drawings and how they did not like each other's. They showed her their papers. + +Miss Lee looked at their drawings. She smiled and said, "They are both very nice and creative. You are both good artists. You should be proud of your work. But you know what? You can also appreciate and respect each other's work. You can learn from each other and try new things. You can share your crayons and paper and make more drawings together. You can be kind and friendly to each other. That will make you happier and smarter." + +Lily and Ben listened to Miss Lee. They felt sorry for being mean and rude. They looked at each other's drawings again. They saw the beauty and effort in them. They said sorry and hugged each other. + +"Can we play together again?" Lily asked, smiling. + +"Of course we can!" Ben said, smiling. + +They thanked Miss Lee and went back to their table. They shared their crayons and paper and made more drawings together. They drew a rainbow car, a car with flowers, and a rainbow with wheels. They had fun and laughed. They were happy and friendly. They were no longer frowning. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big tree with green leaves. They want to climb the tree. + +They hold the tree and pull up. The tree is rough and sharp. It hurts their hands. They say ouch and let go. They look at their hands. They have red marks and scratches. + +They run to the fountain. They put their hands in the water. The water is cool and nice. It makes their hands feel better. They smile and splash each other. They forget about the tree. + +They see a duck in the pond. They want to feed the duck. They find some bread on a bench. They break the bread into pieces. They throw the pieces to the duck. The duck is happy and quacks. They are happy too. + +They have fun in the park. They do not climb the tree again. They like the water and the duck. They say bye to the duck and go home. They tell their mom about their day. She hugs them and gives them a snack. They are tired and happy. +Lila and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, Lila saw a beautiful arrow on the ground. It was shiny and had feathers. + +"Look, Sam, a beautiful arrow!" Lila said. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, Lila, but be careful. It might be sharp," Sam said. + +They took turns holding the arrow and pretending to shoot it. They had fun. + +Then, Lila had an idea. She wanted to invite Sam to her house. She thought they could play with the arrow there. + +"Sam, do you want to come to my house?" Lila asked. "We can play with the arrow more." + +"Sure, Lila, that sounds fun. Let's go," Sam said. + +They ran to Lila's house. They did not see the car coming. The car hit them. They fell down. They did not get up. The arrow flew out of Lila's hand. It landed on the roof. Nobody saw it. Nobody played with it. The end. +Anna was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a cake with candles and a balloon. She sang with her mom and dad. They gave her a hug and a kiss. + +Then, the doorbell rang. Anna ran to open the door. It was the mailman. He had a big box for Anna. He said, "This is a present for you. Someone sent it from far away." + +Anna thanked the mailman and took the box. She was curious. Who sent her a present? She opened the box with her mom and dad. Inside, there was a new doll. She had long hair and a pretty dress. She also had a card. Anna asked her mom to read it. + +The card said, "Happy birthday, Anna. I miss you very much. I hope you like your new doll. She is your friend. Love, Grandma." + +Anna smiled. She loved her grandma. She lived in another country. She could not visit her because of the virus. But she talked to her on the phone sometimes. She said, "Thank you, Grandma. I love you too. I love my new doll. She is beautiful. Can I call you later?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, sweetie. Grandma will be happy to hear from you. Now, let's have some cake and celebrate your birthday." + +Anna nodded. She hugged her new doll and her mom and dad. She was very happy. She had a cake, a balloon, and a present. She had a family that loved her. She had a good birthday. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms and beetles and spiders. They put them in a jar and watched them move. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big ant!" Lily said. She held up the jar and showed him. The ant was black and shiny and had long legs. + +"Wow, that's cool, Lily. Can I see?" Ben asked. He walked over to Lily and took the jar from her. He looked at the ant closely. He wanted to touch it. + +"Be careful, Ben. The ant might bite you," Lily warned. She knew that some ants had sharp teeth and could hurt. + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He opened the jar and reached in with his finger. He wanted to feel the ant's legs. He did not see the ant's teeth. + +The ant bit Ben's finger hard. Ben felt a sharp pain. He dropped the jar and screamed. The ant fell out of the jar and ran away. Ben's finger was red and swollen. + +Lily ran to Ben and saw his finger. She was scared. She did not know what to do. She wanted to help Ben. + +"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She knelt next to Ben and hugged him. She tried to make him feel better. + +Ben cried and cried. He was not okay. His finger hurt a lot. He wanted his mom. He wanted to go inside. He did not want to play in the backyard anymore. He did not feel safe. He hated the ant. He wished he had listened to Lily. +Lily and Ben were playing dress-up in their room. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. Lily found a big tie that was red and blue. She put it around her neck and said, "Look, Ben, I am a teacher!" + +Ben laughed and said, "You are not a teacher, Lily. You are too small. And teachers do not wear ties like that. They wear ties that are straight and neat." + +Lily felt hurt by Ben's words. She liked the tie and thought it was pretty. She said, "I am a teacher, Ben. And I can wear any tie I want. You are just jealous because you do not have a tie." + +Ben said, "I do not want a tie, Lily. Ties are silly and tight. I want a hat. A hat that is big and cool. Like a cowboy hat or a pirate hat." + +Lily and Ben looked around the room for a hat. They saw a hat that was brown and fuzzy. It had two ears and a tail. It was a monkey hat. Lily and Ben both wanted the hat. They ran to the hat and grabbed it. They pulled and tugged and shouted. + +"Give me the hat, Lily!" + +"No, give me the hat, Ben!" + +The hat was very strong. It did not rip or tear. But it did not stay on Lily's or Ben's head. It flew out of their hands and landed on the floor. It landed near the door. The door opened and their mom came in. + +Their mom saw the hat and the tie and the clothes. She saw Lily and Ben and their faces. She smiled and said, "What are you doing, my little monkeys?" + +Lily and Ben looked at their mom and the hat. They felt silly and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing dress-up and we fought over the hat. We did not share." + +Their mom said, "That's okay, my little monkeys. I know you love to play dress-up and have fun. But you also have to be kind and fair. Sharing is caring. Can you say that with me?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Sharing is caring." + +Their mom said, "Good. Now, why don't you put on the hat and the tie and show me your dress-up? I want to see how you look." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Okay, mom." + +They put on the hat and the tie and stood up. They looked at each other and giggled. They looked at their mom and said, "Ta-da!" + +Their mom clapped her hands and said, "Wow, you look amazing! You are the best teacher and the best monkey I have ever seen. I am so proud of you. Can I take a picture of you?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom." + +They posed for the picture and hugged each other. They felt happy and loved. They heard their mom applaud and say, "Bravo, my little monkeys. Bravo!" +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big horse near the fence. They wanted to pet the horse, but they were a little scared. + +"Can we go to the horse, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The horse might not like strangers. Ask the man who owns the horse if you can touch him," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben ran to the horse. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book and did not look at them. + +"Hello, sir. Can we pet your horse?" Ben questioned. + +The man did not answer. He did not hear them. He was wearing headphones and listening to music. + +Anna and Ben thought the man said yes. They went to the fence and reached out their hands. The horse looked at them with big eyes. He did not like strangers. He did not like children. He was a mean horse. + +The horse opened his mouth and showed his teeth. He made a loud noise. He bit Anna's hand. Anna screamed. Ben cried. Mom ran to them. The man looked up and saw what happened. He was shocked. + +"Help! Help! The horse bit my daughter!" Mom shouted. + +The man took off his headphones and ran to the fence. He tried to calm the horse. He was sorry. He did not know the horse was so scary. He did not know the children were there. + +But it was too late. Anna's hand was bleeding. She was hurt. She had to go to the hospital. She was afraid of horses. She did not want to play in the park anymore. She did not have fun. She had a bad day. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today is Tuesday. On Tuesday, they have to go to school. School is hard. They have to learn many things and do many tasks. They do not want to go to school. + +"Ben, wake up. It is time to go to school," Lily says. She shakes Ben's arm. + +"No, I do not want to go. School is hard. I want to play," Ben says. He pulls the blanket over his head. + +"Come on, Ben. We have to go. Mom and Dad are waiting for us. Maybe school will be fun today," Lily says. She tries to sound cheerful. + +"Fun? How can school be fun? School is hard. We have to read and write and count and draw and listen and talk and share and be good. That is not fun. That is hard," Ben says. He does not move. + +Lily sighs. She knows Ben is scared of school. She is scared too. But she also knows they have to go. She has an idea. She remembers something Mom told her yesterday. + +"Ben, do you know what today is? Today is a special day. Today is the day we get to see the big red truck," Lily says. + +Ben opens his eyes. He likes trucks. He likes big trucks. He likes red trucks. He remembers Mom said there will be a big red truck at school today. A big red truck that makes loud noises and sprays water. A fire truck. + +"A fire truck? Really? Today?" Ben says. He jumps out of bed. + +"Yes, really. Today. Mom said so. The fire truck will come to school and we can see it and touch it and maybe even sit in it. That sounds fun, right?" Lily says. She smiles. + +Ben smiles too. He forgets about school being hard. He thinks about the fire truck being fun. He runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth. + +"Okay, okay. Let's go to school. I want to see the fire truck. Maybe school will be fun today," Ben says. + +Lily nods. She grabs her backpack and follows Ben. She hopes school will be fun today. She hopes the fire truck will be there. She hopes Ben will be happy. She hopes school will not be hard. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they were naughty and did not listen to their mom. One day, mom told them to get ready for bed, but they wanted to watch more TV. They said, "Please, mom, just one more show!" + +Mom said, "No, you have to go to bed now. You have school tomorrow. Watching TV is a luxury, not a need. You can watch more on the weekend." + +But Sara and Ben did not listen. They waited until mom went to the kitchen, and then they turned on the TV again. They thought they were very clever and sneaky. + +But mom was not fooled. She heard the TV and came back to the living room. She was very angry and said, "Sara and Ben, you are very naughty! You did not obey me. You delayed your bedtime. Now you have to go to bed without a story or a hug. And you will not watch any TV for a week!" + +Sara and Ben felt very sorry and sad. They cried and said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you. Please, can we have a story and a hug?" + +But mom said, "No, you have to learn your lesson. Go to bed now and think about what you did." + +Sara and Ben went to bed, but they could not sleep. They missed their mom and their story and their hug. They wished they had listened to her. They realized they were not clever and sneaky, but foolish and naughty. They had a bad ending to their day. +Tim and Anna are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to make their own games. They use the carpet as a big map, and they pretend to be explorers. + +"Look, Anna, this is a mountain!" Tim says, pointing to a pillow. "We have to climb it and see what is on the other side." + +"OK, Tim, let's go!" Anna says, grabbing a rope. They tie the rope to the sofa and start to pull themselves up the pillow. + +But when they reach the top, they see a problem. The carpet ends at the wall, and there is no more map to explore. + +"Oh no, Tim, what do we do now?" Anna asks, looking sad. + +Tim thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He sees a book on the shelf. It has many pictures of different places. He runs to the shelf and takes the book. + +"Anna, look, I have a solution!" Tim says, holding the book. "This book is very useful. It has more maps for us to play with. We can put it on the carpet and pretend it is a new land." + +Anna smiles. She likes Tim's idea. She joins him on the carpet and opens the book. They see a picture of a forest with many animals. + +"Wow, Tim, this is a forest!" Anna says, pointing to a deer. "We have to go and see the animals." + +"OK, Anna, let's go!" Tim says, grabbing a binoculars. They use the binoculars to look at the animals and make noises like them. + +They have a lot of fun playing with the book and the carpet. They are happy explorers. +Lily was very tired. She had played all morning with her toys and her dog. She wanted to nap, but it was too hot in her room. The sun was shining on her bed and made it warm. She did not like to nap when it was hot. + +She went to the living room and saw her mom. Her mom was reading a book on the couch. Lily asked her mom if she could nap with her. Her mom smiled and said yes. She moved over and made some room for Lily. Lily climbed on the couch and snuggled with her mom. She felt cozy and happy. + +She closed her eyes and started to nap. She dreamed of a big park with flowers and swings. She was running and laughing with her dog. She saw a bee and wanted to touch it. But the bee did not like that. It stung her on her finger and it hurt. Lily woke up and cried. She showed her mom her finger. Her mom kissed it and said it was okay. She put some ice on it and said it would feel better soon. Lily stopped crying and hugged her mom. She said she loved her and thanked her for the nap. Her mom said she loved her too and was glad she had a good nap. They smiled and cuddled on the couch. Lily felt sleepy again and closed her eyes. She hoped she would not dream of bees again. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big box of blocks. They want to make a ship with the blocks. + +They start to put the blocks together. They make a long body and a tall mast. They add a sail and a flag. They are happy with their ship. + +"Look, our ship is complete!" Tim says. "It is very hard to make a ship." + +"Yes, it is hard, but we did it!" Sam says. "Let's play with our ship. We can pretend we are pirates." + +They pick up their ship and run to the living room. They put their ship on the carpet. They make noises like the wind and the waves. They pretend to find treasure and fight other pirates. + +They have a lot of fun with their ship. They are proud of their work. They are good friends. +Anna liked to go to the library with her mom. She liked to look at the books with many pictures and colors. She liked to listen to the stories that the librarian read to the kids. She liked to play with the toys and puzzles in the corner. + +One day, Anna saw a big red book on the shelf. She wanted to see what was inside. She reached for the book, but it was too high for her. She tried to jump, but she could not grab it. She tried to climb on a chair, but it was too wobbly. She tried to ask her mom for help, but her mom was talking to another mom. + +Anna felt angry and sad. She wanted the red book very much. She started to cry and scream. She kicked the chair and threw the toys. She made a lot of noise. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She heard Anna's cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna's mess and the red book on the shelf. She felt sorry for Anna, but also mad at her. + +"Anna, you are embarrassing me and yourself. You are not being a good girl. You are not following the rules of the library. You have to be quiet and respectful. You have to share and wait. You have to ask for help when you need it. You have to say sorry when you make a mistake." her mom said. + +Anna looked at her mom. She saw her mom's face was red and her eyes were wet. She realized her mom was upset and disappointed. She felt ashamed and sorry. She stopped crying and screaming. She picked up the toys and put them back. She said sorry to the librarian and the other kids. She hugged her mom and said sorry to her too. + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you. I know you were curious and frustrated. But you have to learn to control your emotions and actions. You have to be polite and kind. You have to follow the rules of the library. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will try to be better. Can we still look at the red book?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's say thank you to the librarian for letting us use the library." + +Anna and her mom walked to the librarian and said thank you. The librarian smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like the library. Here, let me help you get the red book. It's a very special book. It's a book of fairy tales. Do you like fairy tales?" + +Anna's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I do. I love fairy tales. Thank you, librarian." + +The librarian handed Anna the red book and said, "You're welcome, Anna. Enjoy the book. And remember, be a good girl in the library." + +Anna and her mom sat on a couch and opened the red book. They looked at the pictures and read the stories. They forgot about the embarrassment and the anger. They felt happy and calm. They loved the library and the red book. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with a football. They kick the ball to each other and run after it. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big tree. The tree has many branches and leaves. Tim and Sam want to climb the tree. They think it will be more fun than playing with the football. + +They put the ball on the ground and start to climb the tree. They use their hands and feet to go up. They are careful not to fall. They reach a high branch and sit on it. They can see a lot of things from the tree. They can see their house, their school, and their park. + +They look at each other and smile. They are happy. They think climbing the tree is better than playing with the football. + +But after a while, they get bored. They have seen everything from the tree. They have nothing to do on the branch. They miss their football. They want to play with it again. + +They decide to climb down the tree. They use their hands and feet to go down. They are careful not to fall. They reach the ground and pick up their ball. + +They kick the ball to each other and run after it. They have fun again. + +They think playing with the football is better than climbing the tree. +Lily and Ben were excited to go to the park with their mom. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the car. Mom drove them to the park and they saw the swings, the slide and the sandbox. + +"Can we play on the swings, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but first we have to eat our lunch," Mom said. She opened the picnic basket and took out some sandwiches, apples and a big bowl of cauliflower. + +Lily and Ben did not like cauliflower. They made faces and said, "Yuck!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Cauliflower is good for you. It makes you strong and smart. And it tastes better with some cheese sauce. Try it, you might like it." + +Lily and Ben looked at the cheese sauce and decided to give it a try. They took a small bite of cauliflower and cheese and were surprised. It was not so bad. It was creamy and cheesy and a little crunchy. + +"Wow, this is good, Mom!" Lily said. + +"I like it too, Mom!" Ben said. + +Mom was happy and said, "I'm glad you like it. You know, cauliflower reminds me of something. Do you know what it is?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment and then said, "No, what is it, Mom?" + +Mom said, "It reminds me of a flower. A white flower that grows in the garden. Do you know what it is called?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads and said, "No, what is it called, Mom?" + +Mom said, "It is called a daisy. A daisy is a white flower with a yellow center. It looks like a little sun. Do you want to see some daisies?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please, Mom!" + +Mom said, "Well, lucky for you, there is a field of daisies right next to the park. We can go there after we finish our lunch. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "That sounds great, Mom!" + +They ate their cauliflower and cheese and then ran to the field of daisies. They picked some daisies and made a crown for Mom and a necklace for themselves. They had fun playing with the daisies and the sun. They thanked Mom for the lunch and the surprise. They learned to like cauliflower and daisies. They had a wonderful day at the park. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy boat in the pond. They have a small anchor for their boat. The anchor is a metal thing that makes the boat stop in the water. + +One day, they are playing with their boat when a big wind comes. The wind makes the boat go very fast. Tom and Sam run after the boat, but they cannot catch it. The boat goes to the other side of the pond, where there are many rocks. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "Our boat will hit the rocks and break!" + +"Quick, throw the anchor!" Sam says. He gives the anchor to Tom. + +Tom tries to throw the anchor, but it is too heavy for him. He drops it on the ground. The anchor makes a loud noise. + +"Oops!" Tom says. He feels bad. + +Sam is anxious. He does not want to lose their boat. He sees a big stick on the ground. He picks it up and runs to the edge of the pond. He throws the stick as hard as he can. The stick flies in the air and lands near the boat. + +"Good job, Sam!" Tom says. He runs to Sam and hugs him. + +The stick becomes a new anchor for their boat. It stops the boat from hitting the rocks. Tom and Sam are happy. They wait for the wind to stop. Then they go to get their boat and their old anchor. They say thank you to the stick. They go home and tell their mom about their adventure. +Tom and Mia liked to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They put on hats and scarves and pretended to have swords and guns. They said "Arrr!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" a lot. + +One day, they saw a white bird on the window. It was a seagull. Tom said, "Look, Mia, a pirate bird! Maybe it has a treasure map!" Mia said, "Let's catch it and make it talk!" They ran to the window and opened it. The bird flew away. + +Tom and Mia chased the bird. They climbed on the sofa and the table and the chair. They shouted, "Stop, pirate bird, stop!" The bird did not stop. It flew to the lamp and the clock and the bookshelf. + +Tom had an idea. He took his toy gun and said, "I will shoot the pirate bird!" He aimed at the bird and pulled the trigger. The gun made a loud noise. Bang! The bird got scared and flew out of the window. + +Tom and Mia were happy. They said, "We did it, we scared the pirate bird away!" They high-fived and hugged. They went back to their box and played pirates some more. They said, "Arrr!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" a lot. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have a big blanket and some pillows. They want to make a fort. + +"Let's stand the pillows up like walls," says Lily. + +"OK, and we can use the blanket as a roof," says Ben. + +They work together to build their fort. They crawl inside and feel cozy. They pretend they are in a castle. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Max. He is hairy and friendly. He wants to play too. + +"Roof, roof!" he barks, and jumps on the blanket. + +The blanket falls down and the pillows tumble over. Lily and Ben laugh. + +"Hi, Max!" they say. "You can join our fort." + +They hug their dog and make room for him. They fix the blanket and the pillows. They have fun with their fort and their furry friend. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to splash in the fountain. The fountain was big and shiny. It made water go up and down. It made rainbows in the sun. It made Lila and Ben happy. + +One day, Lila and Ben went to the park with their moms. They ran to the fountain and took off their shoes. They wanted to splash in the water. But when they got there, they saw a sign. The sign said "Fountain closed. Do not enter." Lila and Ben were sad. They did not understand. Why was the fountain closed? They wanted to play in it. They looked at their moms. Their moms looked sad too. + +Lila and Ben's moms told them that the fountain was broken. It needed to be fixed. They said they were sorry. They said they could play somewhere else. But Lila and Ben did not want to play somewhere else. They wanted to play in the fountain. They felt miserable. They started to cry. + +Lila and Ben's moms hugged them. They said they understood. They said they loved them. They said they could come back another day. They said they could still have fun. They said they could part the water with their hands. They said they could make their own fountain. + +Lila and Ben stopped crying. They looked at each other. They looked at the water. They saw a small gap in the fence. They saw a small stream of water. They saw a small chance. They smiled. They grabbed their moms' hands. They ran to the gap. They squeezed through. They reached the water. They parted the water with their hands. They made their own fountain. They laughed. They splashed. They played. They were happy. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big gray rock near the slide. They run to the rock and touch it. + +"Wow, this rock is so hard and cold!" Lila says. + +"Maybe it has gold inside!" Ben says. He likes gold. It is shiny and pretty. + +They try to break the rock with their hands, but it is too strong. They look for a stick or a stone to hit the rock, but they cannot find any. + +"Let's stand on the rock and jump!" Lila says. She thinks maybe the rock will crack if they jump hard. + +They climb on the rock and stand on it. They hold hands and count to three. + +"One, two, three, jump!" They say together and jump as high as they can. + +But the rock does not crack. It moves! It is not a rock. It is a big gray turtle! + +The turtle is not happy. It does not like children standing and jumping on its shell. It makes a loud noise and shakes its head. + +"Ah, it's a turtle!" Lila and Ben scream. They are scared and surprised. They fall off the turtle and run away. + +The turtle is glad. It crawls away from the slide and looks for a quiet place to rest. It does not want any more visitors. +Lily and Sam went to a pizza place with Mom and Dad. They sat at a big table and looked at the menus. The menus had pictures of different pizzas and drinks. + +"What do you want, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"I want cheese pizza and apple juice," Lily said. + +"What do you want, Sam?" Dad asked. + +"I want pepperoni pizza and lemonade," Sam said. + +"Good choices," Mom and Dad said. They spoke to the waiter and ordered the pizzas and drinks. + +While they waited, Lily and Sam played with some crayons and paper. They drew their favorite animals and colors. They also talked about what they did at school. + +"I learned how to count to ten," Lily said. + +"That's cool," Sam said. "I learned how to spell my name." + +"That's cool, too," Lily said. "Can you show me?" + +Sam wrote his name on the paper. He wrote S-A-M. + +"Wow, you are smart," Lily said. She tried to write her name, too. She wrote L-I-L-Y. + +"Look, we did it!" Sam said. He gave Lily a high-five. + +They were happy and proud. They smiled and hugged each other. + +The waiter came with the pizzas and drinks. They smelled good and looked yummy. + +"Thank you," Lily and Sam said. + +"You're welcome," the waiter said. "Enjoy your meal." + +Lily and Sam ate their pizzas and drank their juices.

They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green and more. + +One day, they want to make a big castle with all the blocks. They work hard and fast to put the blocks together. They use the red blocks for the walls, the blue blocks for the windows, the yellow blocks for the roof and the green blocks for the grass. + +"Look, Mia, our castle is almost done!" Ben says. "We only need a few more blocks to finish it." + +"OK, Ben, let me get some more blocks from the box," Mia says. She runs to the box and picks up some blocks. But she trips and falls. The blocks fly out of her hands and land on the floor. + +"Oh no, Mia, are you OK?" Ben asks. He runs to help her. He sees that she has a scratch on her knee. He gives her a hug and a band-aid. + +"I'm OK, Ben, thank you," Mia says. She smiles and hugs him back. "But look, our castle is broken. Some of the blocks fell off." + +"That's OK, Mia, we can fix it," Ben says. "We still have some blocks left. We can finish our castle together." + +They go back to their castle and start to put the blocks back. They work hard and fast again. Soon, their castle is finished. It is big and beautiful. They are very proud of their castle. + +"Wow, Ben, we did it!" Mia says. "We finished our castle. It is the best castle ever." + +"Yes, Mia, we did it!" Ben says. "We finished our castle. It is the best castle ever. And you are the best sister ever." + +They hug each other and play with their castle. They have fun with their blocks. They are happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the drum.

They hit the drum very hard and fast. They make a lot of noise. They are having fun. + +But Mom is not happy. She is working on her laptop on the couch. She has a serious face. She does not like the noise. She says, "Lily and Ben, please stop. You are making too much noise. I need to work. You are bothering me." + +Lily and Ben do not listen. They keep hitting the drum. They think Mom is funny. They laugh and make more noise. + +Mom gets angry. She stands up and walks to Lily and Ben. She takes the drum away from them. She says, "That's enough. You are being very rude. You need to learn to respect others. Go to your room. No more drum for today." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want to go to their room. They do not want to lose their drum. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We did not mean to bother you. We just like the drum. It makes us happy." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know you like the drum. But you have to be careful with the noise. You have to think about how it affects others. You have to be polite and quiet when someone is working. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will be polite and quiet. Can we have the drum back?" + +Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "OK. You can have the drum back. But only if you promise to play with it softly and gently. And only if you clap your hands instead of hitting the drum when I say so. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can do that. We promise. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom gives them the drum back. She says, "You're welcome. Now, let's try it. Play with the drum softly and gently. And when I say 'clap', you clap your hands. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom." They play with the drum softly and gently. They make a nice noise. Mom works on her laptop. She has a happy face.

So they started to run, but the fast robot could not catch any of them. He was so frustrated. + +But then the other robots stopped running. They told him that the game was done and he had won. That did not make sense to the fast robot. He did not understand why he had won when he had not caught anyone. + +The other robots explained that everyone had to yield when the fast robot was chasing them. Yielding meant that when the fast robot was close enough, everyone had to let him win. He was so happy! He had won the game without even catching anyone! + +From that day on, the fast robot was known as the fastest robot of them all. +Once upon a time, there was a grocery store.
