As she got closer, she noticed that it was in a very bad condition.

"This is not white, this is red. It goes in the other basket." + +Her mom smiled and thanked her. "You're right, Lily. You're very smart and helpful.

It will make the clothes pink. I don't want pink clothes. Please, please, please, put it in the red basket." + +Her mom sighed and looked at the shirt. She saw that it had a tag that said "colorfast". She knew that meant that the shirt would not bleed, but she also knew that Lily would not understand that word. She decided to humor her and put the shirt in the red basket. + +"Okay, okay, Lily. You win. I'll put the shirt in the red basket. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you'll wear the shirt tomorrow, even if it's pink. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy that her mom listened to her. She did not think the shirt would be pink, but she did not mind. She liked pink. She liked red. She liked all colors. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You're very smart and helpful too." +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see some grapes on a vine. The grapes are purple and round. They look yummy. + +"Can we pick some grapes?" Lila asks Tom. + +"Yes, let's pick some grapes!" Tom says. They run to the vine and reach for the grapes. But the grapes are too high. They cannot pick them. + +"Maybe we can use a stick," Lila says. She finds a stick on the ground and gives it to Tom. Tom tries to poke the grapes with the stick. But the stick is too short. He cannot pick them. + +"Maybe we can climb the vine," Tom says. He puts the stick down and grabs the vine. He tries to climb the vine. But the vine is too wet. He slips and falls. He cannot pick them. + +"Are you okay?" Lila asks Tom. + +"I'm okay," Tom says. He rubs his knee. It hurts a little. + +They sit on the grass and look at the grapes. They are sad. They want to pick some grapes. + +Then they hear a voice. + +"Hello, children. Do you want some grapes?" The voice belongs to Mrs. Lee. She is the owner of the garden. She has a basket full of grapes. She smiles and walks to them. + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Tom say. They are happy. They thank Mrs. Lee and take some grapes. The grapes are juicy and sweet. They eat them and share them. + +They forget about the vine and the stick. They enjoy the grapes and the garden. They are friends. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a funny hat on a bench. It is big and red and has a feather on it. Tim puts it on his head and says, "Look at me! I am a king!" Sam laughs and says, "You are silly, Tim!" + +They run around the park with the funny hat. They pretend to be kings and queens and pirates and clowns. They have a lot of fun. But then, a man comes to the bench. He looks sad and angry. He says, "Hey, that is my hat! Give it back to me!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They do not want to give the hat back. They like the hat. They think the man is mean. They run away from the man. They hide behind a tree. They say, "This is our hat now! We found it!" + +But the man does not give up. He looks for them. He sees them behind the tree. He says, "Stop! You are bad kids! You stole my hat! That is not nice!" + +Tim and Sam feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They do not want to be bad kids. They want to be good kids. They come out from behind the tree. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We did not mean to steal your hat. We thought it was funny. We just wanted to play with it." + +The man sees that they are sorry. He is not so angry anymore. He says, "I understand. You are just kids. You like to have fun. But you should not take things that are not yours. That is not fair. You should always ask first. And you should always return what you borrow. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, mister. We understand. We are sorry. Here is your hat. Can we please play with it for a little while?" + +The man smiles. He says, "OK. You can play with it for a little while. But then you have to give it back to me. And you have to say thank you. And you have to be careful with it. It is a special hat. It was a gift from my wife. She is very sick. She made it for me to cheer me up. She likes to see me happy." + +Tim and Sam feel sad for the man. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We hope your wife gets better soon. She is very nice. She made a very funny hat. We like it a lot. Thank you for letting us play with it." + +The man says, "You are welcome, kids. You are very kind. You made me happy too. You reminded me of how much I love my wife. And how much she loves me. And how much fun we have together. Thank you for that." + +Tim and Sam play with the hat for a little while. They have fun. But they are careful. They do not want to hurt the hat. They do not want to hurt the man's feelings. They do not want to hurt their own feelings. They learn a lesson. They learn to respect other people's things. They learn to return what they borrow. They learn to say thank you. They learn to be good friends. They are happy. The man is happy. The hat is happy. The end. +Anna liked to go to the market with her mom. She saw many things there: fruits, flowers, toys, and more. She liked to touch and smell and look at them. But she always stayed close to her mom, because the market was big and busy. + +One day, Anna saw a yellow balloon at a stall. It was shiny and round and had a string. She wanted to have it. She asked her mom, "Can I have the balloon, please?" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to hold it tight, or it will fly away." + +Anna was happy. She took the balloon and held it tight. She thanked her mom and the man who gave her the balloon. She walked with her mom, looking at the balloon and the sky. She felt like she was flying too. + +But then, something bad happened. A gust of wind came and pulled the balloon from Anna's hand. She tried to catch it, but it was too fast. She watched as the balloon flew higher and higher, until it was a tiny dot in the blue. She felt sad and scared. She cried, "Mom, my balloon! It vanished!" + +Her mom heard her and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. The wind took your balloon. It's gone. But don't worry, I'm here. And we can get you another balloon, or something else you like. Let's go and see what we can find." + +Anna nodded. She wiped her tears and held her mom's hand. She still missed her balloon, but she felt better. She knew her mom loved her and would not vanish. She looked around the market and saw many other things that made her curious and happy. She said, "OK, mom. Let's go and see." +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were spies and had secret missions. They used sticks and stones as weapons to fight the bad guys. + +"Look, I found a clue!" Lily said, holding a piece of paper. "It has some words on it. Maybe it tells us where the bad guys are hiding." + +Tim took the paper and looked at it. He could not read the words, but he saw some pictures. They looked like animals, but very unusual ones. One had a long neck and spots, another had a big horn and stripes, and another had a fluffy tail and wings. + +"What are these?" Tim asked. "They are not like any animals I know." + +"Maybe they are the bad guys' pets," Lily said. "Maybe they are hiding in the zoo. We have to go there and stop them." + +They ran to the house and asked their mom if they could go to the zoo. Their mom said yes, but they had to take their backpacks with them. She gave them some snacks and water and a map of the zoo. + +"Have fun, kids," she said. "But be careful. The zoo has some unusual animals. They are not weapons, they are friends. You have to be nice to them." + +Tim and Lily nodded and thanked their mom. They put their sticks and stones in their backpacks and ran to the bus stop. They were excited to see the unusual animals and find the bad guys. + +On the bus, they looked at the paper again. They saw a word they could read. It said "print". They wondered what it meant. + +"Maybe it means the bad guys printed this paper," Tim said. "Maybe they have a machine that makes pictures." + +"Or maybe it means we have to print something," Lily said. "Maybe we have to find a machine and make our own pictures." + +They decided to try both ideas. They got off the bus and entered the zoo. They looked for the unusual animals and the bad guys. They also looked for a machine that could print. They hoped they would solve the mystery and save the day. +Lisa loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. She liked to watch dancers on TV and copy their moves. + +One day, Lisa saw a poster for a dance show. It said, "Come and see the amazing dancers perform at the theater. Tickets on sale now." Lisa was very excited. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, can we go to the dance show? Please, please, please!" + +Mom looked at the poster and smiled. She said, "The dance show looks very nice, Lisa. But it is not until next week. We have to wait and see if we can get tickets. And we have to save some money for them. They are not cheap." + +Lisa was impatient. She did not want to wait. She did not want to save money. She wanted to go to the dance show right now. She said, "But mom, I want to see the dancers. They are amazing. They can do flips and spins and jumps. I want to learn from them. Please, mom, please!" + +Mom said, "Lisa, I understand that you love dancing. But you have to be patient. Sometimes we have to wait for the things we want. And we have to work hard for them. Maybe you can do some chores around the house and earn some money. And maybe you can practice your dancing and show me what you learned. Then we can see if we can go to the dance show next week." + +Lisa was not happy. She did not want to do chores. She did not want to practice. She wanted to go to the dance show right now. She said, "No, mom, no. I don't want to do that. I want to go to the dance show. You are mean. You don't care about me. You don't care about dancing." + +Mom was sad. She said, "Lisa, that is not true. I care about you very much. And I care about your dancing. But you have to be kind and respectful. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. You have to be grateful for what you have. And you have to be polite and say thank you. That is what a good dancer does. A good dancer is not only talented, but also humble and gracious." + +Lisa thought about what mom said. She realized that she was being rude and selfish. She felt sorry for what she said. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are not mean. You are nice. You do care about me. You do care about dancing. Thank you for wanting to take me to the dance show. I will be patient. I will do some chores. I will practice my dancing. And I will be a good dancer. A good dancer like you." + +Mom hugged Lisa and said, "I'm proud of you, Lisa. You are a good dancer. And a good daughter. I love you very much. And I'm sure we will have a great time at the dance show next week. Maybe we will even meet some of the amazing dancers. And maybe they will mention you and your dancing. How would you like that?" + +Lisa smiled and said, "I would like that very much, mom. I would like that very much." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They do exercise and have fun. + +One day, they see a big cake on a table. It has pink and white frosting and sprinkles. It looks yummy. They want to eat some cake. + +They run to the table and grab two forks. They are about to take a bite when a lady comes out of the house. She is angry. She says, "Stop! That is my cake! I made it for my birthday!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the forks and say, "Sorry, lady. We did not know. We are hungry and the cake looks yummy." + +The lady sighs. She says, "It's okay. I understand. You can have a small piece each. But first, you have to do something for me." + +Anna and Ben wonder what it is. They say, "What do we have to do, lady?" + +The lady smiles. She says, "You have to give me a kiss on the cheek and say, 'Happy birthday!'" + +Anna and Ben think that is easy. They give the lady a kiss on the cheek and say, "Happy birthday, lady!" + +The lady is happy. She says, "Thank you, kids. You are very sweet. Here, have some cake. But don't forget to brush your teeth later." + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They eat some cake and say, "Thank you, lady. The cake is yummy. Happy birthday!" + +They go back to the park and play some more. They do exercise and have fun. They are friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the garage. They are very happy. + +"Look, Sara, there are dolls and cars and blocks and books!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, this is fun! Let's sort the toys by color!" Sara says. + +They start to sort the toys. Sara puts all the pink toys in one pile. Tom puts all the blue toys in another pile. They also make piles for red, green, yellow and purple toys. + +"Sara, why do you like pink so much?" Tom asks. + +"Because pink is pretty and sweet and nice. Pink is my favorite color. What is your favorite color, Tom?" Sara asks. + +"I like blue. Blue is cool and strong and smart. Blue is my favorite color. But I also like other colors. They are all fun," Tom says. + +They finish sorting the toys. They have six piles of different colors. + +"Look, Sara, we did a good job! The toys are all sorted!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, we did a good job! The toys are all sorted! Now we can play with them!" Sara says. + +They pick up some toys and start to play. Sara takes a pink doll and a pink dress. Tom takes a blue car and a blue hat. + +"Sara, do you want to play marriage with me?" Tom asks. + +"Play marriage? What is that?" Sara asks. + +"Play marriage is when you pretend to be a mommy and a daddy. You put on the dress and the hat and you say 'I do'. Then you hug and kiss and live happily ever after," Tom explains. + +"OK, Tom, let's play marriage. But can I have a pink hat and you have a blue dress? I like pink better," Sara says. + +"OK, Sara, that's fine. You can have a pink hat and I can have a blue dress. I don't mind. As long as we are happy," Tom says. + +They put on the hat and the dress and hold hands. They say 'I do' and hug and kiss. They smile and laugh. They are happy. They play marriage with the pink and blue toys. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they have a big box of toys to deliver to the school. They want to have fun on the way. + +"Let's have a race!" Sam says. "Who can deliver the toys faster?" + +"OK!" Lily says. "But I have the tall truck. It can go over bumps and hills." + +"I have the fast car. It can zoom and swerve." Sam says. + +They put the toys in their vehicles and start the race. They go through the park, the street, and the bridge. They beep and honk at each other. + +Lily's truck is strong and steady. It can carry many toys. But it is slow and heavy. Sam's car is light and speedy. It can dodge and dash. But it is small and fragile. + +They reach the school at the same time. They are both happy and tired. + +"Wow, that was a fun race!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it was!" Sam says. "But we have to deliver the toys now. The kids are waiting." + +They unload the toys and give them to the teacher. The teacher says thank you and smiles. + +Lily and Sam hug and high-five. They are proud and glad. + +They delivered the toys and had a race. They are good friends and good helpers. +Sam likes to print pictures of clowns. He has a big book of clowns and a printer in his room. He prints a new clown every day and puts it on his wall. He thinks clowns are funny and happy. + +One day, Sam finds a new clown in his book. It is a big clown with a red nose and a blue hat. Sam thinks it is the best clown ever. He wants to print it and show it to his mom. He puts the book in the printer and presses the button. + +But something goes wrong. The printer makes a loud noise and smoke comes out. The paper comes out, but it is not a clown. It is a scary face with sharp teeth and angry eyes. Sam is very scared. He screams and runs out of his room. + +His mom hears him and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the smoke and the paper and the book. She is very angry. She thinks Sam broke the printer and the book. She does not believe him when he says it was a bad clown. She says he has to go to his room and stay there. She takes away his other clowns and his printer. She says he can not print anything ever again. + +Sam is very sad. He cries in his room. He has no clowns, no printer, and no mom. He feels empty and alone. He wishes he never saw the bad clown. He wishes he could print a happy clown and make his mom smile. But he can not. He can only look at the scary face on the paper and be afraid. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they found a big pack of gum in the park. They were happy and opened it. They each took a piece and put it in their mouths. + +But the gum was bitter. It made their faces sour. They spat it out and said "yuck". They did not like the gum. They threw it away and looked for something else to play with. + +They saw a big tree with flowers. The flowers were pretty and smelled good. They picked some and made crowns. They put the crowns on their heads and pretended to be a king and a queen. + +They said "let's marry". They held hands and walked around the tree. They smiled and laughed. They liked to marry. They were happy and forgot about the bitter gum. +Ben and Lily are brother and sister. They like to watch television after school. They have one television in the living room. Sometimes they want to watch different shows. Then they fight over the remote. + +One day, Ben wants to watch a show about cars. Lily wants to watch a show about animals. They both grab the remote and pull hard. They yell at each other. "It's my turn!" "No, it's mine!" "Give it to me!" "No, you give it to me!" + +Mom hears them yell. She is not happy. She comes to the living room. She sees them fight over the remote. She takes the remote from them. She turns off the television. She says, "No more television for you today. You are not kind to each other. You need to share and take turns. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Ben and Lily are sad and angry. They go to their rooms. They slam the doors. They do not talk to each other. They do not watch television. They do not have fun. They have a bad day. +Lily was hungry. She wanted a snack. She walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She saw many things inside. She saw milk, cheese, eggs, fruit, and cake. She liked cake. She reached for the cake. + +But then she heard a voice. It was Mom. Mom said, "Lily, what are you doing? You can't have cake now. It is not time for cake. Cake is for after dinner. You have to eat something healthy first." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted cake. She did not want something healthy. She said, "But Mom, I'm hungry. And cake is yummy. And I'm lazy. I don't want to make something." + +Mom said, "Lily, you are not lazy. You are a big girl. You can make something easy and good. How about a sandwich? You can have bread, butter, and jam. Or you can have bread, cheese, and ham. Or you can have bread, peanut butter, and banana. You can choose. And you can have some milk or juice to drink. And you can have a small piece of cake later, if you eat your sandwich." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked sandwiches. She liked bread, butter, and jam. She liked bread, cheese, and ham. She liked bread, peanut butter, and banana. She liked milk and juice. And she liked cake. She said, "OK, Mom. I will make a sandwich. And I will have some milk. And I will have a small piece of cake later. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you. You are a good and smart girl. And you are not lazy. You are hungry. And that's OK. But you have to eat well. And you have to listen to me. And you have to be happy. Because I love you, Lily." + +Lily felt happy. She loved Mom. She made a sandwich. She ate it. She drank some milk. She felt full. She felt good. She smiled. She said, "I love you, Mom." +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and castles and bridges with the colorful blocks. Sometimes they pretended to be giants and knocked down their creations with loud roars. + +"Look, Lily, I made a very high tower!" Ben said, showing his sister his block tower. It was taller than him and almost reached the ceiling. "It is unique. No one else can make a tower like this." + +Lily was impressed by Ben's tower, but she also wanted to make something unique. She looked around and saw a big ball on the couch. She had an idea. She grabbed the ball and climbed on the couch. She threw the ball up in the air, hoping it would bounce off the ceiling and come back to her. + +But the ball did not bounce. It hit the ceiling with a loud thud and made a hole. Then it dropped down and crashed on Ben's tower, making it fall apart. Blocks flew everywhere and some hit Lily and Ben. + +"Ow! Lily, why did you do that?" Ben cried, rubbing his head. He was angry and sad. His unique tower was gone. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted to make something unique too. But the ball was too hard and the ceiling was too weak." Lily said, feeling sorry and scared. She did not mean to ruin Ben's tower or break the ceiling. + +They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. She had heard the noise and wanted to see what happened. Lily and Ben looked at each other and knew they were in trouble. They quickly hid behind the couch and hoped their mom would not see the hole in the ceiling or the mess in the living room. +Anna and Ben are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They see the big blue ocean and want to play in the water. They put on their swimsuits and sun hats and run to the sand. + +"Can we enter the ocean, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, but only a little bit. The ocean is deep and cold. You have to hold my hand or Dad's hand, okay?" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We are ready!" Ben says. + +Mom and Dad enter the ocean with Anna and Ben. They splash and kick and laugh. The water feels nice and cool. They see some fish and shells and seaweed. They have fun in the ocean. + +"Look, Mom, a big wave!" Anna says. + +"Let's go back to the sand, kids. The wave is too big for us. We can make a sandcastle instead," Dad says. + +"Okay, Dad. The ocean is fun, but the sand is fun too!" Ben says. + +They leave the ocean and go back to the sand. They make a big sandcastle with a moat and a flag. They are happy at the beach. They love the ocean and the sand. +Lily and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They liked to make bubbles with the soap and water. They had a yellow duck that they splashed with. They laughed and had fun. + +But then Lily had a bad idea. She saw the lock on the door and wanted to try it. She said to Ben, "Let's lock the door and see what happens." Ben was not sure, but he followed Lily. They turned the lock and heard a click. + +They went back to playing with the soap and the duck. But soon they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She said, "Lily, Ben, open the door. It's time to get out of the bathroom." Lily and Ben tried to open the door, but they could not. They had locked it and did not know how to unlock it. + +They started to cry. They were scared and sorry. They said, "Mom, help us. We locked the door and we can't open it." Their mom said, "Don't worry, I'll get you out. But you should not lock the door. It's not safe. You could get stuck or hurt. You should always listen to me and do what I say." + +Their mom got a key and unlocked the door. She hugged Lily and Ben and dried them with a towel. She was not angry, but she was serious. She said, "Lily, Ben, I love you, but you have to learn a lesson. Locking the door is not a game. It's a rule. Rules are important. They keep you safe and happy. Do you understand?" Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We're sorry. We won't lock the door again." Their mom smiled and said, "Good. Now let's go and have some cookies. But first, put the soap and the duck away." Lily and Ben did as they were told. They learned their lesson and never locked the door again. +Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big teddy bear. She always hugged him and talked to him. She called him Mr. Bear. + +One day, Sara's grandma came to visit. Grandma was elderly and kind. She brought Sara a new toy, a pretty doll with a dress and a hat. Sara was happy to see Grandma, but she did not like the doll. She said, "No, thank you, Grandma. I don't want the doll. I only want Mr. Bear." + +Grandma was sad and surprised. She said, "But Sara, the doll is very nice. She can be your friend. You can play with her and dress her up. Don't you want to try?" + +Sara refused. She said, "No, Grandma. I don't like the doll. She is not soft and warm like Mr. Bear. She is hard and cold. I don't want to play with her. I only want Mr. Bear." + +Grandma sighed and gave Sara a lecture. She said, "Sara, you are being rude and ungrateful. You should say thank you when someone gives you a gift. You should not reject it without even looking at it. You should be more open and curious. You might like the doll if you give her a chance. You can have more than one toy, you know. Mr. Bear will not be jealous." + +Sara listened to Grandma, but she did not change her mind. She said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. I know you are nice and you love me. But I don't love the doll. I love Mr. Bear. He is my best friend. Can I keep him, please?" + +Grandma smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "Of course, you can keep Mr. Bear. He is yours. But I hope you will also give the doll a chance someday. She might be a good friend too. You can keep her in your room, and maybe one day you will want to play with her. Will you do that for me?" + +Sara nodded and said, "OK, Grandma. I will do that for you. But I still love Mr. Bear more." + +Grandma kissed Sara and said, "I love you, Sara. And I love Mr. Bear too. He is a lucky bear to have you." +Tom and Sue like to play with rice. They have a big box of rice and many cups and spoons. They like to fill the cups with rice and make different shapes. They also like to mix the rice with colors and make it bright. + +One day, Tom and Sue want to organize the rice. They want to make a rainbow with the bright rice. They start to sort the rice by color and put them in rows. Tom says, "I will make the red and the orange. You make the yellow and the green." Sue says, "OK, but I also want to make the blue and the purple. They are my favorite colors." + +Tom says, "No, I want to make the blue and the purple. They are my favorite colors too." Sue says, "But you already have two colors. I only have two colors. That is not fair." Tom says, "Yes, it is fair. I am older than you. I can have more colors." Sue says, "No, you can't. You are being mean. I will tell mom." + +Tom and Sue start to argue. They raise their voices and push each other. The rice falls from the cups and the spoons. The rice spills on the floor and makes a mess. The rainbow is ruined. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sue and the rice. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you wasting the rice? You should share and play nicely. You should organize the rice, not scatter it." + +Tom and Sue feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a rainbow, but we could not agree on the colors. We were selfish and rude. We will clean up the rice and apologize to each other." + +Mom says, "That is good. I am glad you realize your mistake. You can still make a rainbow, but you have to work together and respect each other. You can both have the colors you like, but you have to take turns and compromise. You can also use other things to make the rainbow, like paper, crayons, or stickers. You can be creative and have fun." + +Tom and Sue hug mom and say, "Thank you, mom. You are right. We can be creative and have fun. We will work together and respect each other. We will make a beautiful rainbow and show you." Mom smiles and says, "I can't wait to see it. I love you both." +Lily and Tom liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was to look at the pond. The pond had many fish, frogs, ducks and turtles. Sometimes they saw other animals too, like rabbits, squirrels and birds. + +One day, they went to the pond with their mom. They saw a big duck with many little ducks. They saw a green frog that jumped in the water. They saw a shiny fish that swam fast. They were very happy and excited. + +"Look, mom, look!" Lily said. "The pond is so pretty and fun!" + +"Yes, it is, sweetie," mom said. "But be careful, don't go too close to the edge. The pond is deep and you might fall in." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They knew mom was right. They stayed on the grass and watched the pond. + +Then, they saw something strange. Something big and brown and furry. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. It came out of the water and walked on the land. It looked at them with small eyes. + +"What is that, mom?" Tom asked. "Is it a dog?" + +"No, honey, it's not a dog," mom said. "It's a beaver. A beaver is an animal that lives in the pond. It makes a home out of wood and mud. It can swim and chew very well." + +"A beaver?" Lily and Tom said. They had never seen a beaver before. They were curious and scared. + +The beaver saw them too. It did not like them. It did not like people. It wanted them to go away. It made a loud noise with its tail. It showed its teeth. It looked angry. + +"Uh-oh," mom said. "The beaver is not happy. We should leave it alone. Come on, kids, let's go to the other side of the pond. Maybe we can see some turtles there." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They did not want to make the beaver mad. They followed mom to the other side of the pond. They hoped to see some turtles. They hoped the beaver would not follow them. They learned something new that day. They learned that the pond had many surprises. Some were good and some were bad. They learned to be careful and respectful of the animals. They learned to enjoy the pond. +Tom and Lily were playing in the library. They liked to look at the books with many colors and pictures. They also liked to make up stories about the books they did not know. + +"Look, Lily, this book has a big dragon on the cover!" Tom said, pointing to a book on a high shelf. "I want to see what it says inside. Maybe it is a scary story, or a funny story, or a magic story." + +"But, Tom, we cannot reach that shelf. It is too high for us. We need a grown-up to help us." Lily said, looking at the shelf. "Maybe we can find another book on a lower shelf. There are many books here." + +"No, I want that book. I have an idea. You can raise me up, and I can grab the book. Then we can read it together." Tom said, looking at Lily with a smile. "It will be fun. Come on, help me." + +Lily was not sure. She thought it might be dangerous to raise Tom up. She did not know if the shelf was strong enough. She did not know what the book was about. She did not know if the librarian would be angry. But she also wanted to make Tom happy. She liked to play with him. She liked to read with him. + +"Okay, Tom, I will try. But be careful. Do not fall. Do not drop the book. Do not make noise." Lily said, nodding. She put her hands on Tom's waist and lifted him up. Tom stretched his arms and reached for the book. He touched the spine and pulled it out. He was happy. He had the book. + +But then, something bad happened. The book was heavy. It made the shelf shake. The shelf was old. It made a loud noise. It broke. The books on the shelf fell down. They hit the floor. They hit Tom and Lily. They made a big mess. Tom and Lily were scared. They cried. + +The librarian heard the noise. She ran to the library. She saw the shelf. She saw the books. She saw Tom and Lily. She was angry. She was worried. She said, "What have you done? Why did you do that? Are you hurt? You are in trouble." +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with a cliff at the end. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's climb the hill!" Tom said. + +"I don't know, Tom, it looks high and scary," Lily said. She was shy and afraid of heights. + +"Don't be scared, Lily, I will hold your hand and we will be careful," Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they started to climb the hill. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked over the cliff. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a bridge that crossed the lake. + +"Wow, look at that, Lily, it's so pretty!" Tom said. + +"It is, Tom, it is!" Lily said. She forgot her fear and smiled. + +They heard a loud noise behind them. It was a big truck that was driving on the road next to the hill. The truck was shaking the ground and making dust. + +"Uh-oh, Tom, the truck is making the hill shake!" Lily said. + +"Let's go back, Lily, it's not safe here!" Tom said. + +They ran down the hill, holding hands. They reached the bottom and looked back. They saw some rocks falling from the cliff. + +"That was close, Tom, we were lucky!" Lily said. + +"Yes, we were, Lily, we were!" Tom said. + +They hugged each other and decided to play somewhere else. They were happy to be safe and to have each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different shapes, colors and sizes. Mommy said they had to sort their toys before dinner. She said sorting means putting things that are the same together. + +"Let's sort our toys by color," Lily said. "I have a red car, a red ball and a red apple. What do you have?" + +"I have a blue truck, a blue crayon and a blue hat," Ben said. "And I have a green frog, a green leaf and a green pine." + +"What is a pine?" Lily asked. + +"A pine is a kind of tree that has needles and cones," Ben said. "It smells nice and it is good for making wreaths." + +"Wow, you know a lot about pines," Lily said. "Can I see your pine?" + +"Sure, you can see it, but you can't have it," Ben said. "It is my favorite toy. I got it from Grandma for Christmas." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with the pine too. She looked at her toys and saw that she had a yellow star, a yellow duck and a yellow banana. She had an idea. + +"Ben, do you want to trade one of your toys with me?" Lily asked. + +"Trade? What does that mean?" Ben asked. + +"Trade means giving something you have to someone else and getting something they have in return," Lily said. "It is a way of sharing and being generous." + +"Generous? What does that mean?" Ben asked. + +"Generous means giving something to someone else without expecting anything back," Lily said. "It is a way of being kind and making someone happy." + +Ben thought about it. He liked his toys, but he also liked Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He decided to be generous. + +"OK, Lily, I will trade with you," Ben said. "You can have my pine, and I will have your star. I like stars too. They are shiny and bright." + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She gave Ben her star and took his pine. She thanked him and hugged him. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are very generous," Lily said. "You are the best brother ever." + +Mommy came in and saw them sorting and trading their toys. She was proud of them. She praised them and gave them a kiss. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben, you sorted your toys very well," Mommy said. "And you were very generous with each other. That is a wonderful way to play. Now, who is ready for dinner?" +Sara was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She could dress herself, brush her teeth, and eat her breakfast. She even had her own room with a bed, a table, and a chair. + +But sometimes, Sara felt lonely. She missed her mommy and daddy when they went to work. She wished she had a friend to play with. She looked around her room and saw her toys, her books, and her cushion. Her cushion was soft and fluffy, and had a picture of a bear on it. Sara loved her cushion. She hugged it and pretended it was a real bear. + +"Hello, Mr. Bear," Sara said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Mr. Bear did not answer. He just smiled with his stitched mouth. + +"That's okay," Sara said. "You can be quiet. I like quiet friends. Let's read a book together." + +Sara picked up a book from her shelf and opened it. She showed Mr. Bear the pictures and told him the story. She used her best voice and made funny sounds. Mr. Bear listened and nodded. + +Sara and Mr. Bear had a lot of fun. They read books, played games, and sang songs. Sara forgot about being lonely. She was happy with her cushion friend. + +Then, she heard a knock on the door. It was her mommy and daddy. They came home from work and wanted to see Sara. + +"Sara, we're home!" they called. "Can we come in?" + +Sara jumped up and ran to the door. She opened it and saw her mommy and daddy. They looked tired but happy. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" Sara shouted. "I missed you so much!" + +She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged her back and kissed her. + +"We missed you too, Sara," they said. "You're such a big girl. Did you have a good day?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She told them about her day and how she played with Mr. Bear. + +"That sounds wonderful, Sara," they said. "You're very independent and creative. But you know what? We're always here for you. You can always talk to us and hug us. We love you, Sara." + +Sara felt warm and cozy. She loved her mommy and daddy. She loved her cushion too. She brought it to them and showed them. + +"This is Mr. Bear," she said. "He's my friend. Can he hug you too?" + +"Of course he can," they said. "He's very cute and soft. We like him too." + +They hugged Mr. Bear and Sara. They laughed and cuddled. Sara felt happy. She had the best family and the best friend in the world. +Anna and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They share and take turns. + +One day, Mom says she has to leave for a while. She tells Anna and Ben to be good and gentle with each other. She gives them a hug and a kiss and goes out the door. + +Anna and Ben keep playing with their toys. But soon, Ben gets bored of his car. He wants to play with Anna's doll. He grabs the doll from Anna's hands. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Anna says. "Give it back!" + +"No, I want it!" Ben says. "It's my turn!" + +They start to pull and tug on the doll. They are not gentle. They are rough. The doll's arm breaks off. + +Anna and Ben stop and look at the doll. They feel sad and sorry. They broke the doll. Mom will be mad. + +They hear Mom's footsteps outside. They are scared. They hug each other and say sorry. + +Mom comes in and sees the doll. She is not happy. She asks them what happened. + +"We were playing and we broke the doll," Anna says. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She is not angry. She is disappointed. She tells them to be more careful and gentle with their toys and each other. She says they have to fix the doll together. + +Anna and Ben nod. They say they love Mom and each other. They go to get some glue and tape. They work together to fix the doll. They are gentle. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the attic. The attic was messy and full of old things that their mom and dad did not use. Ben and Lily liked to pretend that the things were treasures or toys or costumes. + +One day, they found a big box with a label that said "Give away". They opened the box and saw many clothes and books and toys that they had when they were babies. Ben and Lily wanted to keep the things. They said, "These are ours! We do not want to give them away!" + +But their mom came to the attic and saw the box. She said, "Ben and Lily, these things are too small for you now. You have new clothes and books and toys that you like. These things can make other children happy. You have to accept that you are growing up and share with others." + +Ben and Lily did not like what their mom said. They said, "No, mom! We want to keep them! They are ours!" They started to cry and hug the things. + +Their mom was sad and said, "Ben and Lily, I know you love these things, but you have to be kind and generous. Think about how you would feel if you had no clothes or books or toys. How would you like it if someone gave you some of their things?" + +Ben and Lily thought about what their mom said. They remembered how happy they were when they got new things for their birthday or Christmas. They imagined how sad they would be if they had nothing to play with or wear or read. They looked at each other and said, "Mom, you are right. We have to accept that we are growing up and share with others. We are sorry for being selfish." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I am proud of you, Ben and Lily. You are very good children. Come on, let's pack the box and take it to the charity shop. Maybe we can find something new for you there." + +Ben and Lily nodded and helped their mom pack the box. They felt good inside. They learned that accepting change and sharing with others is better than holding on to the past and being greedy. They still liked to play in the attic, but they also liked to help other children. +Lily and Tom were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They were very happy because they loved Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy told them to pack their bags with some clothes and toys. + +"Can I pack my teddy bear?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mommy said. "Teddy bear can come with us." + +"What about my truck?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, you can pack your truck, too," Mommy said. "But don't pack too many toys. We need some space for other things." + +Lily and Tom packed their bags with their favorite things. They also packed some books and crayons. Mommy helped them to zip their bags. + +"Are we ready to go?" Daddy asked. + +"Yes, we are," Mommy said. "But first, let's have some snacks. I made some yummy sandwiches and juice for you." + +"Yummy!" Lily and Tom said. They ran to the kitchen and ate their snacks. Mommy gave them each a bottle of juice to drink. + +"Can we take our bottles with us?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can," Mommy said. "But don't forget to put them in your bags. We don't want to lose them." + +Lily and Tom put their bottles in their bags. They thanked Mommy for the snacks and hugged her. + +"Let's go, let's go!" they said. + +They followed Daddy to the car. They put their bags in the trunk. They buckled their seat belts. They waved goodbye to Mommy. + +"Have fun with Grandma and Grandpa!" Mommy said. + +"We will, we will!" Lily and Tom said. + +They drove away, looking forward to their visit. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, old tree. It has many leaves and branches. + +"Can we climb the tree?" Ben asks Anna. + +Anna nods. She likes to climb. They hold hands and walk to the tree. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They feel happy and brave. + +They look around and see many things. They see birds and squirrels and bugs. They see flowers and grass and rocks. They see a pond and a bridge and a swing. + +"Look, a daisy!" Anna says. She points to a white flower with a yellow middle. She likes daisies. They are pretty and soft. + +"Can I have it?" Ben asks. He likes daisies too. They are bright and happy. + +Anna nods. She reaches for the daisy and picks it. She gives it to Ben. He smiles and says thank you. He puts it in his pocket. + +They hug and sit on the branch. They watch the park and the sky. They feel warm and cozy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily are playing in the living room. They see a big ashtray on the table. It is shiny and has many colors. Tom wants to touch it. + +"Look, Lily, a pretty ashtray!" Tom says. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the ashtray. + +"No, Tom, don't touch it!" Lily says. She knows that the ashtray is important to Mom. Mom got it from Grandma, who is in heaven. Mom always says that the ashtray reminds her of Grandma. + +But Tom does not listen. He grabs the ashtray and tries to lift it. It is too heavy for him. He drops it on the floor. It breaks into many pieces. + +"Oh no, Tom, you broke it!" Lily cries. She is scared and sad. She runs to Mom, who is in the kitchen. + +"Mom, Mom, Tom broke the ashtray!" Lily says. + +Mom hears Lily and comes to the living room. She sees the broken ashtray on the floor. She is angry and sad. She stands in front of Tom, who is still on the chair. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Mom says. "That was Grandma's ashtray. It was very important to me. Why did you touch it?" + +Tom feels sorry and scared. He does not know what to say. He looks at Mom and Lily. He sees that they are both crying. He starts to cry too. + +"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I just wanted to see the pretty ashtray. I didn't mean to break it." + +Mom sighs and hugs Tom and Lily. She is still angry and sad, but she loves them. She knows that they are just children. She knows that they did not mean to hurt her. + +"It's okay, Tom, it's okay, Lily," Mom says. "I know you are sorry. I know you love Grandma too. But you have to be careful with things that are important to other people. You have to ask before you touch them. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nod and say yes. They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom smiles and says she loves them too. She picks up the pieces of the ashtray and puts them in a box. She says that maybe one day they can fix it together. She says that the ashtray is still important to her, but not as important as Tom and Lily. +Sara and Tom are friends who live on a farm. They like to play with the animals and help the farmer. One day, the farmer tells them to water the plants, because it is very dry and hot. He gives them a big bucket and a hose. + +Sara and Tom take the bucket and the hose and go to the garden. They see many flowers and vegetables that need water. Sara starts to fill the bucket with the hose, but Tom says, "No, I don't want to water the plants. I want to play with the dog." + +Sara says, "But the farmer asked us to water the plants. They will die if they don't get water. And the dog can play with us later." + +Tom refuses to listen to Sara. He drops the hose and runs to the dog. He throws a stick and the dog chases it. Sara is angry and sad. She tries to water the plants by herself, but the bucket is too heavy and the hose is too long. + +The farmer sees Sara and Tom from the window. He sees that Sara is working hard and that Tom is playing. He goes to the garden and says, "Sara, you are a good helper. Thank you for watering the plants. Tom, you are a bad helper. You refused to do what I asked you. You have to go to your room and think about what you did." + +Sara and the farmer go to the house and have a snack. Tom goes to his room and cries. He wishes he had helped Sara and the farmer. He learns that refusing to do what is right is not fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a stream with some fish and frogs. They wanted to catch them and put them in a bucket. + +They ran to the stream and dipped their hands in the water. But the water was very cold and bitter. It made their fingers hurt. They pulled their hands out and made a face. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "The water is bad. It is not nice." + +Lily nodded. She did not like the water either. She looked at the fish and frogs. They seemed happy in the water. How could they like it? + +She asked Tom, "Why do the fish and frogs like the water? It is cold and bitter." + +Tom did not know. He shrugged. He did not have an answer. He said, "Maybe they are used to it. Maybe they do not feel it. Maybe they have something else to make them happy." + +Lily thought about it. She wondered what could make the fish and frogs happy. She said, "Maybe they have friends. Maybe they have games. Maybe they have stories." + +Tom liked that idea. He smiled. He said, "Maybe they do. Maybe we can be their friends. Maybe we can play with them. Maybe we can listen to their stories." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, maybe we can. Let's try." + +They put their bucket down and sat by the stream. They watched the fish and frogs. They waved to them and said hello. They asked them questions and listened for answers. They pretended to understand them and tell them stories too. + +They had fun. They forgot about the cold and bitter water. They made new friends. They learned new things. They were happy. +Lila loves butterflies. She likes to watch them fly in the garden and land on the flowers. She wants to catch one and hold it in her hand. She thinks they are pretty and soft. + +One day, she sees a big yellow butterfly near the roses. She runs to it with her net. She tries to catch it, but it is too fast. It flies away from her net every time. Lila feels frustrated. She wants the butterfly so much. + +She does not give up. She follows the butterfly around the garden. She waits for it to stop on a flower. She sneaks up to it very quietly. She swings her net over it. She manages to catch it! + +She is very happy. She looks at the butterfly in her net. It is beautiful. She sees its wings move. She feels sorry for the butterfly. It must be scared. She does not want to hurt it. + +She opens her net and lets the butterfly go. It flies away in the air. It looks like it is saying thank you. Lila smiles. She is proud of herself. She caught a butterfly, but she also set it free. She thinks that is the best thing to do. +Lily liked to play with her toys in her bedroom. She had dolls, cars, books and puzzles. She had fun making stories and noises with them. But she did not like to put them away when she was done. She left them on the floor, on the bed, on the desk and in the closet. + +One day, her mom came to her bedroom and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, you need to clean your bedroom. It is too messy. You can't find your toys or your clothes. And you might trip and hurt yourself. Please put your toys in the boxes and your clothes in the drawers." + +Lily did not want to clean her bedroom. She wanted to keep playing. She said, "No, mom. I don't want to clean. I want to play. Cleaning is boring." She pushed her mom away and ran to the other side of the room. She picked up a car and made it zoom on the floor. + +Her mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, don't push me. That is not nice. You have to listen to me. I am your mom. I love you and I want you to have a clean and safe bedroom. If you clean your bedroom, I will read you a story and give you a hug." + +Lily thought about it. She liked stories and hugs. She did not like to make her mom sad. She said, "Okay, mom. I will clean my bedroom. But can you help me?" Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I will help you. We can do it together. It will be faster and more fun." They started to pick up the toys and the clothes and put them in the right places. Lily felt good. She was proud of her clean bedroom. She gave her mom a hug and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. Now, let's read a story." They sat on the bed and opened a book. They had a happy time. +Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they went to the art room. They saw many paints and brushes. They wanted to make pictures. + +"Can we use the paints?" Lily asked the teacher. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful. The paints are messy. And share with the others." The teacher said. + +Lily and Sam entered the art room. They found a big paper. They chose some paints. Lily liked red and yellow. Sam liked blue and green. They dipped their brushes in the paints. They made lines and dots and swirls on the paper. + +"Look at my picture. It is a sun and a flower." Lily said. + +"Look at my picture. It is a sky and a tree." Sam said. + +They looked at each other's pictures. They saw that they were different. Lily's picture was bright and warm. Sam's picture was cool and calm. + +"I like your picture. It is different from mine. But it is nice." Lily said. + +"I like your picture too. It is different from mine. But it is pretty." Sam said. + +They smiled at each other. They were happy. They liked to make pictures. They liked to be friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. They did not want to disturb Mom, who was working on her laptop in the kitchen. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other. Who could it be? They ran to the door and opened it. They saw a big box with a bow on it. It had a tag that said "To Lily and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa". + +"Wow, a surprise!" Lily exclaimed. "What do you think is inside?" + +"I don't know, maybe a toy or a book or a cake," Ben guessed. + +They dragged the box to the living room and opened it. They gasped when they saw what was inside. It was a weird thing that looked like a mix of a dog and a bird. It had fur and feathers and a long tail and a beak. It wagged its tail and chirped at them. + +"Hello, kids, this is Fluffy. He is a new kind of pet that we found at the pet store. He is very friendly and smart and loves to play. We hope you like him," a voice said from a card inside the box. + +Lily and Ben looked at the card and saw a picture of Grandma and Grandpa smiling. They smiled back and hugged Fluffy. + +"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, we love him!" they said. + +They played with Fluffy and showed him their toys and their room. They did not disturb Mom anymore, but they made her laugh when she saw their new pet. They had a lot of fun with their surprise and their weird friend. +Sara was very thirsty. She wanted to drink some water from the faucet in the kitchen. But she was too small to reach it. She saw a chair near the table. She had an idea. She pushed the chair to the faucet and climbed on it. She turned the faucet and water came out. She drank some water and felt happy. + +But she forgot to turn off the faucet. The water kept coming out and spilled on the floor. Sara did not notice. She got down from the chair and went to play with her toys. She left the chair and the faucet alone. + +Soon, Mom came to the kitchen. She saw the water on the floor and the faucet still on. She was very angry. She turned off the faucet and grabbed a towel. She dried the floor and the chair. She looked for Sara. + +She found Sara in the living room. She said, "Sara, did you use the faucet in the kitchen?" Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom. I was thirsty. I drank some water." Mom said, "Did you turn off the faucet?" Sara shook her head. She said, "No, Mom. I forgot." Mom said, "You made a big mess. You wasted a lot of water. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should always turn off the faucet when you are done. Water is precious. We need to save it. Do you understand?" Sara nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again. I will turn off the faucet next time." Mom said, "That's good. But you also need to say sorry to the water. The water is alive. It has feelings. It does not like to be wasted. It likes to be used wisely. Can you say sorry to the water?" Sara nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, water. I did not mean to hurt you. I will be more careful with you. I will use you wisely. Thank you for giving me water to drink." Mom smiled. She said, "That's very nice, Sara. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. Water is our friend. We need to respect it and take care of it. Come, let's hug the water and thank it together." Sara and Mom hugged the water and thanked it. They felt happy and peaceful. The water sighed and smiled. It forgave Sara and Mom. It was happy to be their friend. +Lily and Ben like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. Lily has the white pieces and Ben has the black pieces. They take turns to move their pieces on the board. + +One day, they play chess in the living room. The living room has a fireplace. The fireplace has fire. Fire is hot and bright. Fire can burn things. + +Lily moves her queen. She says, "Checkmate! I win!" Ben is sad. He does not like to lose. He is angry. He throws his king at the fire. The king is wood. Wood can burn. + +The king lands in the fire. The fire makes the king brown. The king starts to burn. Lily and Ben see the smoke. They smell the smoke. They are scared. They scream, "Help! Help!" + +Mom and Dad hear the scream. They run to the living room. They see the fire. They see the king. They are mad. They say, "What did you do? You could have burned the house! You could have hurt yourself!" + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We were playing chess. Ben was angry. He threw his king at the fire. We did not mean to burn the king." + +Mom and Dad put out the fire. They hug Lily and Ben. They say, "We are glad you are safe. But you have to be careful. Fire is dangerous. You cannot play with fire. You cannot throw things at the fire. You have to respect the fire." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand. We will respect the fire. We will not play with fire. We will not throw things at the fire." + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "Good. Now, let's go to the kitchen. We have cookies for you. Cookies are sweet and yummy. Cookies do not burn." +Ben and his mom went to the big building. They wanted to see the doctor. Ben was not sick, but he needed a check-up. Mom said it was good to see the doctor sometimes. + +They walked to the elevator. The elevator was a big box with a door. It could go up and down very fast. Ben liked the elevator. He wanted to push the buttons. + +But there was a man in the elevator. He was bald. He had no hair on his head. He smiled at Ben and his mom. He said, "Hello, I'm going to the tenth floor. Which floor are you going to?" + +Mom said, "We're going to the fifth floor. Thank you for asking." She pushed the button with a five on it. + +Ben looked at the man. He wondered why he had no hair. He decided to ask him. He said, "Why are you bald? Where is your hair?" + +The man laughed. He said, "That's a good question. I'm bald because I have a special condition. It makes my hair fall out. But I don't mind. I think it makes me look cool. What do you think?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "I think you look cool too. But I like my hair. It's brown and curly. Mom says it's cute." + +The man said, "Your hair is very cute. And you are very smart and polite. I'm glad I met you." + +The elevator stopped at the fifth floor. The door opened. Mom said, "This is our floor. Come on, Ben. It's time to see the doctor. Say goodbye to the man." + +Ben said, "Goodbye, bald man. Have a nice day." + +The man said, "Goodbye, Ben. Have a nice check-up." + +Ben and his mom got out of the elevator. They walked to the doctor's office. Ben was happy. He had made a new friend.

She took the key and opened the book. + +But Anna saw her. She was angry. She ran to Lily and snatched the diary from her hands. "Lily, how dare you!" she shouted. "This is my diary. It is private. You cannot read it. You are naughty and nosy." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not mean to make Anna mad. She just wanted to study her diary. She thought Anna would share with her. She started to cry. "I'm sorry, Anna," she sobbed. "I just wanted to be like you. You are wise and I am not." + +Anna felt sorry for Lily. She hugged her and wiped her tears. "Lily, I love you," she said. "You are my little sister. You are not naughty or nosy. You are smart and curious. You can be wise too. But you have to study your own books, not my diary. My diary is for me to write my thoughts and feelings. It is not for you to read. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She gave Anna back her key and her diary. She said sorry again. Anna smiled and kissed her. She said it was okay. She said she would help Lily study her books. She said they could be wise together. Lily was happy. She hugged Anna and thanked her. They went to the living room and studied their books. They were sisters and friends. +Anna is a big girl. She is independent. She can do many things by herself.

But then, a baby bunny suggested that maybe they could have a modest group. + +"What is a modest group?" asked one of the other animals. + +"It means one that is not too big," said the baby bunny. + +The mommy bear considered this and finally agreed. + +"Yes, I will permit a modest group," said the mommy bear. + +The animals all cheered and started to plan their picnic. They were very excited and it was the best picnic ever! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lola. She was three years old, and liked to have fun. + +One day, Lola's mommy said, "Let's go to the park!" Lola was so excited. + +When they got to the park, Lola saw a big hole. She said, "Mommy, look at the hole!" Her mommy replied, "That's an ordinary hole, Lola. But you can play in it if you want." + +So Lola climbed into the hole and had lots of fun. She dug in the dirt, and made the hole bigger. + +Later, when it was time for Lola to go home, her mommy said, "Lola, did you enjoy yourself in the hole?" Lola smiled and said, "Yes, Mommy!" She had had a wonderful day. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Annie. She lived in a big house with windows that were very high up. + +One day Annie was playing near the window and she looked up. She thought it looked weird, so she wanted to twist it. + +Annie said to her mom, "Mom, can I twist the window?" +"No, Annie," her mom said "It's not safe to twist the window. It might break." + +Annie didn't understand. She wanted to twist it, but she couldn't. + +So instead, Annie went outside and kicked a ball. She twisted and turned, just like she wanted to do to the window. She had so much fun! + +The end. +Molly was a happy little girl. She had a special friend named Jake. Jake was a jogging dog. He was very bossy so he always got to decide what to do for their adventures. + +One day, Molly and Jake were in the park. Molly asked if they could play tag but Jake said he wanted to go on a jog. + +Molly said, "No way! Tag is much more fun." + +But Jake barked loudly, "Jogging!" + +Molly was annoyed. She thought Jake was being too bossy. But then she remembered how much fun it was when they jogged together. + +So Molly smiled and said, "Alright, let's go on a jog." + +Jake barked happily and they began running around the park together. Every day, they would jog together and Molly enjoyed it more and more. She learned that the more she listened to Jake, the more fun they had together. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Sue. She was very happy and excited to dress up. Sue wanted to put on her best dress so she could look nice for her friend. She grabbed her dress and ran to the bathroom to get ready. + +Sue's mom called, "Sue! Are you ready?" + +Sue replied, "Almost, Mommy! Just one more minute." + +Sue put on her dress and looked in the mirror. "I look so good!" she said. She went to the living room to show her mom her dressed up look. + +"You look so nice, Sue," her mom said with a smile. "Now let's go meet your friend!" + +Sue ran out the door and went to her friend's house. She was excited to spend the day with her good friend. When she got to the door, she couldn't stop smiling. + +"Hi Sue!" her friend said, "You look so nice in that dress!" + +Sue was so happy and the two friends had a great time together! +Once upon a time there was a man called Bob. Bob was happy every day and he liked to enjoy life. One day he thought he would go for a walk in the park. + +As he walked through the park, he started to feel very warm in his heart. He smiled as he noticed the beautiful flowers around him. Things felt so good! + +Suddenly, he heard someone yelling. He stopped and looked around until he saw a big bee buzzing around a little girl. She was screaming and trying to swat the bee away.
