He put on his nicest clothes - his shirt was pink and his shoes were shiny. + +John's mom said, "Hurry, John! We need to get there before the parade starts!" + +John ran to his mom's side. They both went to the parade together. When they arrived, they saw giant pink balloons and lots of colourful flags flying in the sky. + +John was amazed. He asked, "What is this?" His mom smiled and said, "This is a parade. Isn't it magical?" + +John agreed. They both watched the parade together, enjoying every moment of it. When it was over, they both said goodbye and hurried home. +Once upon a time, there was an adorable little girl named Jane. Jane loved to play outside with her friends. Today, they were playing tag. Jane chased her friends around the garden while they laughed and had fun. + +Suddenly, Jane noticed something shiny on the ground. She bent down to see what it was and saw it was a needle! She was scared so she picked it up carefully and put it away in a safe place. + +Jane wanted to tell her friends about the needle, but she couldn't find them. She decided to repeat the words 'needle' and 'be careful' so her friends could hear her. + +Soon, Janespottted her friends, who came running towards her when they heard her calling out. When they saw the needle, they were astonished. All of them were very careful and never touched it. Jane was so proud of her friends, and they all celebrated by having their favourite treat. + +The end! +Lily was very playful. She loved running and spinning around the garden. One day she spotted something shiny in the grass - a glass! Lily picked it up, determined to complete her mission. + +Lily held the glass carefully and tried to find something to do. First, she ran around the garden, making sure to keep the glass far away from her. Then, she carefully stood still and balanced the glass on her head. But it kept falling off! + +Suddenly, a playful idea came to mind. Lily paired the glass with a spade, and used them to play music. She ran around singing and laughing as the sound of her music filled the air! + +At last, Lily had completed her mission. And she was so proud of what she had done. +Jill and Bill were best friends. They always wanted to share their things and have fun together. + +One day they had an idea. They wanted to sit together on Bill's tricycle. “Let's try it,†said Jill. + +So they gave it a try. Bill sat on the seat and Jill held the handle in the back. They tried to pedal, but it was too difficult for two people. + +Finally, they decided to get off and share the handle. It was fine at first, but then something bad happened. The handle was too long for them to share and suddenly it broke. + +Jill and Bill were so sad. They had been too greedy and didn't want to take turns on the tricycle. Now they wouldn't be able to share the tricycle ever again. +Andy and his mum were walking around the park. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining brightly. + +Suddenly, Andy saw a big, black kite up in the sky. He said to his mum, "Look, a kite!" + +His mum smiled and said, "Yes, you're right. Let's examine it." + +So they examined the kite. But as they looked up, they noticed a pupil looking down at them. The pupil looked very serious. + +Mum asked the pupil, "What are you doing? Are you the one flying the kite?" + +But the pupil just kept looking at them. Then he said in a deep, serious voice, "You should not be here. This is not a safe place." + +Mum gave a big sigh and Andy said, "But why not? It looks fun." + +The pupil answered, "You must go now. Or something bad will happen." + +Mum quickly took Andy's hand and they left the park. As they walked away, Andy asked, "Why did we have to leave?" +Mum sighed again and said, "You never know what might happen if you don't take warnings seriously." + +The moral of the story is to take warnings seriously and always be careful. +One day, a lovely little bear named Sue went for a walk in the countryside. Suddenly, Sue heard a loud noise. "Oh no!" She exclaimed, "What is that loud noise?" she wondered. + +Just then, she saw a big red fire truck. There was an emergency! "Fire fighters!" Sue shouted. + +The fire fighters noticed her and put her free. They asked, "Can you help, little bear? See that house? We need help to put out the fire in the house." + +Sue clenched her paws, and bravely nodded her head. She could manage this. The fire fighters once again asked, "Are you sure, little bear?" + +Sue replied, "Yes, I love helping! I can manage this!" + +The fire fighters beamed. They gave her a big hug and said, "Thank you for your lovely help!" + +Sue smiled. She had managed to help in the emergency and it made her feel really happy.

The lions were very happy, until one day the little male lion decided to go for a walk. But as soon as he stepped outside, he started to suffer the heat. It was unbearably hot and uncomfortable. + +The little lion stumbled around the jungle, feeling miserable in the sweltering heat. All he wanted was to find some shade, but wherever he looked he only saw sunshine. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice. "Do you need help?" + +"Yes!" said the little lion. "I'm so hot!" + +A monkey appeared from behind a tree and said, "I know a place where you can cool off. Follow me!" + +The monkey took the little lion to a tall tree with a big branch hanging over a stream. There the little lion finally found relief from the heat. He sat down, put his feet in the water, and felt the coolness on his fur. + +The monkey watched from the branch above. After a while he said, "Would you like a tip from me? Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just come here." + +The little lion thanked the monkey and promised to take his advice. From that day on, every time he suffered from the heat, he went to the tall tree. And there he took a dip in the cool stream. +Once upon a time, there were two brothers named John and Joe. John was very smart, but Joe wasn't as intelligent as his brother. Every day, John would come home from school and try to explain the things he had learned to Joe. Joe would try hard to understand, but would always get lost. + +One day, Joe asked his brother "John, why do you have a brain?" John was very surprised but he explained, "the brain helps me to think and understand things." Joe replied "I want to understand things too, can I come inside and learn too?" + +John was so happy to hear that Joe wanted to learn and he said "yes, of course you can come in and learn." + +So Joe came to join John in the classroom every day and he worked hard to learn. Over time, Joe began to understand and his brain grew stronger. + +John was so grateful for Joe's hard work and was proud of how his brother had grown. In the end, he learned that even though people may not be as smart as others, it doesn't mean they can't learn. With hard work and determination, anyone can do whatever they set their mind to. +Once upon a time, there was a patient little dog named Spot. Spot was always kind and gentle. + +One day, Spot went to the park with his owner. Spot saw some other dogs playing and he wanted to join in. He asked his owner, "Can I play with them too?" + +His owner said, "Sure! But you must pay attention and be a good patient doggie." + +Spot agreed and ran off to join the other dogs in their fun. But what Spot hadn't noticed was that the other dogs were eating a smelly old bowl of sour milk. Spot took a bite, and it was so sour that he yelped! + +The other dogs just laughed and said, "You have to pay for breakfast, doggie!" + +Spot ran back to his owner and his owner said, "See, Patience is a virtue! Next time, don't take a bite before you pay attention!" + +Spot nodded and learned his lesson. From then on, he was more patient and paid closer attention to his surroundings. +Once upon a time, there lived a duck called Daisy. One day, Daisy took a step out of her home to find a pond. As Daisy stepped on the grass, she could feel a little water leaking through her feet. + +She looked around and saw a pond in the distance. Excitedly, she started to run towards the pond, but her happy smile turned into a frown when she got closer. The pond was quiet, not full of water like Daisy had hoped. + +Daisy was disappointed and asked, "Where is the water?". Just then, a little frog hopped up and said, "The water is gone, but be careful. If you keep taking steps to places without water, you will eventually run out of places to go." + +Daisy thanked the frog for the advice and decided to be more careful. Taking large steps could be dangerous, so from then on, Daisy chose to take smaller, quieter steps and make sure she always had enough water. + +The moral of the story is that it is always good to be careful and think before taking a step. +Once upon a time there was a little boy and his loyal dog. The little boy loved spending time with his faithful dog, playing together in their garden. + +One day, the little boy was making spaghetti.

Molly was sad to see her go. 'Why did she quit?', she thought. + +Molly realised that some things in life are rare, but we shouldn't quit when things don't go our way. She smiled and vowed never to quit. +The young girl put on her uniform, grabbing her bag on the way out the door. She was enjoying a walk in the park when she saw a squishy red balloon on the ground.

The little girl said, "No! This is my tray! I'm learning my numbers." Her brother replied, "I want to play with it too!" The little girl was really angry and started to cry. + +The brother didn't want to see his little sister cry, so he said, "Let's do it together! We can count the numbers together!" The little girl liked this idea, so they started counting together. They both laughed and had a lot of fun. + +At the end of the counting exercise, the little girl was even more happy to learn her numbers. She hugged her brother and felt very happy and comfortable. +Sue was on her way home from the park. She had been playing with her toy car, when she spotted something interesting in the grass. It seemed to be a stack of colorful blocks.

It was another little girl, who looked like she wanted the stack too! + +Sue felt a sudden pang of fear, but knowing that she couldn't let someone else take away her beautiful blocks, she grabbed the stack even tighter. The other girl noticed, and frowned. + +"I saw them first!" yelled Sue. The other girl said nothing, but they both knew this meant that only one of them could take the blocks home. + +Suddenly, an adult came over and saw what was happening. Neither of the girls wanted to give up the stack, so the adult said that they could share. Together, they each picked up one side of the stack and carefully carried it away, both feeling happy and relieved. +Once upon a time, there was a young girl called Emma. She was only 3 years old and loved playing and learning new things. One day, she met an elderly man in the park. + +The man asked her, "Do you like math, Emma?". Emma thought it was a funny question so she giggled and said "No, math is boring". + +The elderly man smiled and said, "You may not think that right now, but math can be fun, too. You just need to keep trying". + +Emma listened to the elderly man but she still didn't think math was fun. + +The man gave her a mathematical challenge and it seemed impossible to solve. Emma thought hard and managed to solve it! + +The elderly man was pleasantly surprised and said, "See? Math isn't that boring after all, is it?". Emma smiled and shook her head. + +The moral of the story is that everyone is capable of learning something new if they work hard and keep trying. +Once there was a little boy named John. He was three years old. One night, John made a wish to find a perfect day.

He got out of the river and the sunset started to paint the sky in a beautiful red hue. + +He started to walk back to his home and he saw a big dog on the side of the road. The dog started to bark at the man and he shouted "Go away!" But the dog did not listen and it came closer to the man.

They were both wearing bows. She remembered that Max used to like bows too, when he was little. She thought maybe he had taken her bow as a joke, but then felt sorry and put it back. She decided to forgive him and share her bow with him. She went to his room and knocked on the door. He opened it and looked surprised. + +"Hi, Lily. What do you want?" he asked. + +"I want to say sorry for being mad at you. And I want to give you something." she said. + +She took off her bow and handed it to him. He looked confused and curious. + +"What is this?" he asked. + +"It's my bow. You can have it. I know you used to like bows too." she said. + +He took the bow and looked at it. He felt a little embarrassed and a little happy. He remembered that he used to like bows too, when he was little. He decided to thank her and share his toys with her. He smiled and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. And I'm sorry for teasing you. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +She nodded and hugged him back. She felt happy and peaceful. She had found her bow and her brother. They went to his room and played together. They both wore bows and had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand at the beach. They made a big castle with towers and walls and a flag. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mommy!" Lily said. "It is the best castle ever!" + +Mommy smiled and took a picture of them. "It is a very nice castle, my loves. You are very good at making sand castles." + +"Can we make another one?" Ben asked. "Maybe a bigger one?" + +"Sure, you can make another one. But first, you have to pay the sand man." Mommy said. + +"Pay the sand man?" Lily and Ben asked. "Who is the sand man?" + +Mommy pointed to a man who was walking along the beach. He had a big hat and a big bag. He was famous for making beautiful sand sculptures of animals and people. + +"He is the sand man. He makes sand art for everyone to see. He is very kind and talented. But he also needs money to buy more sand and tools. So, if you want to use his sand, you have to pay him a little bit." Mommy explained. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They wanted to be kind and fair too. They ran to the sand man and said hello. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my sand art?" The sand man asked. + +"Yes, we do. They are very pretty and cool." Lily and Ben said. + +"Thank you. Do you want to use some of my sand to make your own sand art?" The sand man asked. + +"Yes, please. But we have to pay you first." Lily and Ben said. + +They gave the sand man some coins from their pockets. The sand man smiled and thanked them. He gave them some sand from his bag. + +"Here you go. Have fun and be creative. And don't forget to show me your sand art when you are done." The sand man said. + +Lily and Ben thanked him and ran back to their spot. They used the sand man's sand to make another castle, bigger and better than the first one. They were very happy and proud. They showed their castle to the sand man and Mommy. They all clapped and cheered. Lily and Ben hugged the sand man and Mommy. They had a wonderful day at the beach. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a cage. It is a parrot. The parrot has many colors. It can talk. + +"Hello, hello!" the parrot says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Tom are curious. They go near the cage. The parrot looks at them and smiles. + +"Bow, bow!" the parrot says. "Can you bow to me?" + +Lily and Tom think the parrot is funny. They bow to the parrot. The parrot laughs. + +"Good, good!" the parrot says. "Now, give me a treat!" + +Lily and Tom have some crackers in their pockets. They take out a cracker and give it to the parrot. The parrot takes the cracker and eats it. + +"Yummy, yummy!" the parrot says. "More, more!" + +Lily and Tom give the parrot another cracker. The parrot eats it too. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the parrot says. "You are nice!" + +Lily and Tom are happy. They like the parrot. They want to play more with the parrot. + +But then, a man comes. He is the owner of the parrot. He is angry. + +"Hey, you!" he shouts. "Stop feeding my parrot! He is not your pet! He is mine!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They run away from the cage. The parrot is sad. + +"Bye, bye!" the parrot says. "Come back soon!" + +The man grabs the cage and leaves. He is bad. He does not let the parrot have fun. Lily and Tom wish they could free the parrot and be his friends. +Anna liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite thing was a big teddy bear. She called him Teddy. Teddy was soft and brown and friendly. He always smiled at Anna and gave her hugs. + +One day, Anna's friend Ben came to visit. Ben saw Teddy and wanted to play with him. He said, "Can I have Teddy? He looks fun." Anna did not want to share Teddy. She said, "No, Teddy is mine. You can play with something else." Ben was sad. He did not like Anna's answer. + +Anna's mom saw what happened. She said, "Anna, you should be nice to your friend. Sharing is good. You can let Ben play with Teddy for a little while. Then he will give him back to you." Anna thought about it. She liked Ben. He was a friendly boy. She did not want to make him sad. She said, "OK, mom. Ben, you can play with Teddy. But please be careful. He is my favorite thing." Ben was happy. He said, "Thank you, Anna. I will be careful. Teddy is a nice bear." + +Anna and Ben played with Teddy and other toys. They had fun. They laughed and talked and hugged Teddy. Anna was glad she shared Teddy. She learned that sharing can make friends happy. She said, "Ben, you are a good friend. I like playing with you." Ben said, "Anna, you are a good friend too. I like playing with you and Teddy." They gave each other a high five. Then they gave Teddy a big hug. Teddy smiled. He liked Anna and Ben. He was a happy bear. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the snow and make snowmen. One day, they saw a big hill with lots of snow. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. + +"Let's go, Lily! It will be fun!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom. But promise me we will be careful. The hill is very steep and fast." Lily said. + +"I promise, Lily. Don't worry. We will be safe." Tom said. + +They took their sleds and climbed up the hill. They were very excited. They looked at the view. It was brilliant. They could see the whole town and the sun shining. + +"Ready, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Ready, Tom!" Lily answered. + +They pushed their sleds and started to slide down the hill. They laughed and screamed. They felt the wind and the snow on their faces. They were having so much fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Tom's sled hit a rock and flipped over. Tom fell off his sled and rolled down the hill. He hit a tree and hurt his head. He cried and cried. + +Lily saw what happened and stopped her sled. She ran to Tom and hugged him. + +"Tom, Tom, are you OK? I'm so sorry. I'm here for you." Lily said. + +Tom looked at Lily with tears in his eyes. + +"Lily, you promised me we would be careful. You lied to me. You made me crash. You are not my friend anymore." Tom said. + +Lily felt very sad and sorry. She tried to say something, but Tom did not listen. He pushed her away and ran to his home. + +Lily was left alone on the hill. She wished she could take back her promise. She wished she could make Tom happy again. She wished they could have cocoa and cookies together. But it was too late. + +The moral of the story is: Don't make promises you can't keep. They can hurt your friends and yourself. Be honest and responsible. +Anna did not like broccoli. She thought it was green and yucky. She always tried to hide it under her plate or give it to her dog. But her mom knew her tricks and always made her eat some. + +One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. Anna could not go out and play with her friends. She was bored and sad. She hoped that dinner would be something nice, like pizza or macaroni. + +But when she came to the table, she saw a big bowl of broccoli. Her mom smiled and said, "Anna, today we have broccoli. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. You have to eat some, okay?" + +Anna frowned and shook her head. She did not want to eat broccoli. She said, "No, mom, I don't like broccoli. It is gross. Can I have something else, please?" + +Her mom sighed and said, "No, Anna, you have to eat what I made. Broccoli is not gross. It is tasty. You just have to try it. Look, I put some cheese on it. Cheese is yummy, right?" + +Anna looked at the broccoli with cheese. She did not think it looked yummy. She thought it looked worse. She said, "No, mom, cheese does not make broccoli better. It makes it worse. I don't want it. I want pizza or macaroni." + +Her mom said, "Anna, stop being so picky. You have to eat some broccoli. It is not fair to waste food. There are many children who don't have enough food. You should be grateful for what you have. Come on, just take one bite. Maybe you will like it." + +Anna did not want to take a bite. She wanted to cry. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to. I don't like it. I don't care. I hate broccoli." + +Her mom said, "Anna, that's enough. You are being very rude and stubborn. You have to eat some broccoli or you will not get any dessert. Do you understand?" + +Anna did not like that. She loved dessert. She wanted ice cream or cake. She did not want to miss dessert. She looked at the broccoli and the cheese. She thought for a moment. She decided to try it. Maybe it was not so bad. Maybe she could get dessert. + +She took a small bite of broccoli and cheese. She chewed it slowly. She waited for the taste. She was surprised. It was not so bad. It was not so yucky. It was kind of good. She liked the cheese. She took another bite. She liked it more. She smiled and said, "Mom, you were right. Broccoli is not gross. It is tasty. I like it. Can I have some more, please?" + +Her mom was happy and proud. She said, "Of course, Anna. I'm glad you like it. You can have some more. And you can also have some dessert. You did a good job. You tried something new. You were brave and smart. I love you, Anna." + +Anna hugged her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for the broccoli and the cheese. And thank you for the dessert. You are the best mom ever." +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She loved to see all the different animals, but her favorite was the elephant. She liked how big and strong and gentle they were. She wanted to be friends with them. + +At the zoo, there was a man who worked with the elephants. He was called a keeper. He knew how to take care of them and make them happy. He saw Mia looking at the elephants and smiled. He asked her if she wanted to meet them. Mia nodded and held her mom's hand. + +The keeper led Mia and her mom and dad to a special place where the elephants lived. He told them their names and stories. He said they came from far away and needed a lot of food and water and love. He gave Mia a big bunch of bananas and told her she could feed them. Mia was very happy and excited. + +She walked up to the first elephant, who was called Nala. She was a big female with long tusks and a friendly trunk. She sniffed Mia and took a banana from her hand. She made a loud noise that sounded like a thank you. Mia giggled and stroked her trunk. She gave her another banana and moved on to the next elephant. + +The next elephant was called Bono. He was a young male with short tusks and a playful trunk. He reached out for a banana, but Mia was too quick. She teased him and ran away. He chased her and tried to grab the banana. Mia laughed and ran back to her mom. She gave him the banana and tickled his trunk. He made a noise that sounded like a laugh. + +The last elephant was called Zara. She was a baby female with no tusks and a curious trunk. She was shy and stayed close to her mom, Nala. She looked at Mia with big eyes and wondered what she was. Mia smiled and walked slowly to her. She offered her a banana, but Zara was afraid. She hid behind her mom and peeked out. Mia waited and talked to her softly. She said she was a friend and wanted to share. She broke the banana in half and gave one piece to Nala and one to Zara. Zara saw that Mia was kind and generous. She came out from behind her mom and took the banana. She touched Mia's hair and nose with her trunk. She made a noise that sounded like a hello. + +Mia was very happy and proud. She had made friends with the elephants. She hugged them and thanked them. She thanked the keeper for letting her meet them. She said goodbye and waved. She told her mom and dad that the elephants were her best friends. They smiled and said they were very proud of her. They left the zoo and went home. Mia dreamed of the elephants and hoped to see them again. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some cups. They want to make a tea party for their toys. + +"Here, Mr. Bear, have some tea," Lily says, pouring water from a cup. "It is very yummy." + +Tom nods and gives some water to his dinosaur. "Yes, it is the best tea ever. Do you want some sugar, Mr. Dino?" + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. He is running towards them, barking and wagging his tail. He wants to play too. + +"Spot, no!" Lily shouts. "Go away! You will spill our tea!" + +But Spot does not listen. He jumps into the bucket of water and splashes it everywhere. Lily and Tom get wet and cold. Their toys get wet and dirty. The water is gone. + +Lily and Tom are very angry. They cry and yell at Spot. "Bad dog! Bad dog! You ruined our tea party!" + +Spot is confused. He does not understand why they are mad. He just wanted to have fun. He licks their faces and tries to make them happy. + +But Lily and Tom do not want his kisses. They push him away and run inside the house. They tell their mom what happened. + +Mom hugs them and gives them some towels. She says, "I'm sorry, Spot was naughty. He did not know you were playing. He loves you very much. Maybe you can play with him later, when he is calm." + +Lily and Tom nod. They are still sad, but they feel a little better. They dry their toys and put them away. They hope Spot will be good next time. +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday today. She wanted to make a cake with Mom. Mom said yes. They went to the kitchen. + +Mom gave Sara a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "We need to mix some things to make the cake. Can you help me?" Sara nodded. She liked to help Mom. + +Mom put some flour, sugar, eggs, and milk in the bowl. She said, "Now we need to mix them well. Can you stir with the spoon?" Sara took the spoon and stirred. She stirred hard and fast. The things in the bowl became smooth and yellow. + +Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Sara! You are a good mixer. Now we need to add some chocolate. Do you like chocolate?" Sara nodded again. She loved chocolate. Mom opened a bag of chocolate chips and poured some in the bowl. She said, "Now we need to mix them again. Can you stir some more?" Sara stirred again. She stirred slow and gentle. The chocolate chips made the yellow thing look like stars. + +Mom said, "The cake is ready to bake. We need to put it in a pan and in the oven. Can you help me?" Sara nodded. She wanted to see the cake bake. Mom poured the cake in a round pan and put it in the oven. She said, "We need to wait for a while. The oven is very hot and deep. It will make the cake grow and smell good. Do you want to sing a song while we wait?" Sara nodded. She liked to sing. Mom and Sara sang a happy birthday song. They were very happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a big truck with a motor. The truck was making loud noises. Lily and Tom wanted to see the motor. + +"Can we look at the motor?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. The motor is sharp. It can hurt you." Tom said. + +They went to the truck and opened the hood. They saw the motor. It was shiny and had many parts. Lily and Tom touched the motor. It was hot and sharp. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. She cut her finger on the motor. It was bleeding. + +"Are you OK?" Tom asked. He saw the blood. + +"I'm OK. It's just a little cut." Lily said. She put her finger in her mouth. + +They closed the hood and ran away from the truck. They saw a man coming. He was the driver of the truck. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" The man shouted. He was angry. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They hid behind a tree. + +The man looked at his truck. He saw that the hood was open. He saw that the motor was empty. Someone had taken the parts. + +"Who did this?" The man yelled. He was very angry. + +Lily and Tom did not know. They did not take the parts. They only wanted to see the motor. + +They waited until the man left. Then they ran back to their house. They did not play with the truck again. They learned that the motor was sharp and empty. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big blue bird in the sky. The bird can fly very high and fast. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Tom says. "I wish I could fly like that." + +"Me too," Mia says. "Maybe we can pretend to fly. Let's flap our arms and run." + +Tom and Mia flap their arms and run around the park. They feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and have fun. + +But then they see a big dog under a tree. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. The dog barks and runs towards them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Mia shout. "The dog is scary!" + +They run away from the dog. They look for a safe place to hide. They see a slide on the playground. They climb up the slide and slide down. + +"Phew, we are safe now," Tom says. "The dog can't reach us here." + +"Maybe the dog just wants to play," Mia says. "But he is too big and loud for us." + +They see the blue bird again. The bird flies over the slide and sings a song. + +"Hello, bird," Tom and Mia say. "You are so pretty and friendly. Can you teach us how to fly?" + +The bird nods and flaps its wings. Tom and Mia flap their arms and smile. They feel happy and free. They forget about the dog and the slide. They only see the blue sky and the blue bird. They pretend to fly. +Anna and Ben are playing shop. Anna is the shopkeeper and Ben is the customer. Ben has a toy car and some money. He wants to buy some candy from Anna. + +"Hello, shopkeeper. How much is this candy?" Ben asks, pointing to a jar of colorful sweets. + +"Two money, please," Anna replies, holding out her hand. + +Ben gives her two money and takes the candy. He opens the jar and eats one. It is very yummy. + +"Thank you, shopkeeper. Do you have anything else to sell?" Ben asks, looking around. + +Anna nods. She has a lot of things to sell. She has books, dolls, puzzles, and more. She likes playing shop. + +"Yes, I have many things. What do you want to buy?" Anna replies, smiling. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes books, but he also likes puzzles. He has some money left, but not enough to buy both. + +"Can I buy a book and a puzzle?" Ben asks, hoping. + +Anna shakes her head. She knows how much money Ben has. He does not have enough. + +"No, you can't. A book is three money and a puzzle is four money. You only have five money. You need more money," Anna replies, sounding sorry. + +Ben feels sad. He really wants a book and a puzzle. He looks at his toy car. He likes his toy car, but he likes books and puzzles more. + +"Can I trade my toy car for a book and a puzzle?" Ben asks, holding up his car. + +Anna looks at the car. She likes cars, but she likes books and puzzles more. She thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"OK, you can trade your car for a book and a puzzle. But you have to do something for me," Anna replies, making a deal. + +"What do I have to do?" Ben asks, curious. + +"You have to help me clean up the shop when we are done playing. And you have to be nice to me," Anna replies, smiling. + +Ben agrees. He thinks it is a fair trade. He gives Anna his car and takes a book and a puzzle. He is very happy. + +"Thank you, shopkeeper. You are very nice," Ben says, hugging Anna. + +Anna hugs him back. She is happy too. + +"You're welcome, customer. You are very nice too," Anna says, hugging Ben. + +They play with their new things for a while. Then they clean up the shop together. They are ready to play something else. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with a rope. The rope had a knot at the end. Lily wanted to swing on the rope. + +"Look, Tom, a rope! Let's swing on it!" Lily said. + +"I don't know, Lily. It looks high and hard. What if we fall?" Tom said. + +"Don't be scared, Tom. It will be fun. I will go first. You can watch me." Lily said. + +Lily ran to the rope and grabbed the knot. She pulled hard and swung in the air. She felt happy and free. She laughed and shouted. + +"See, Tom, it's easy! Come on, try it!" Lily said. + +Tom was still scared, but he wanted to be brave like Lily. He walked to the rope and took the knot. He closed his eyes and swung. He felt the wind and the sun. He opened his eyes and smiled. + +"Wow, Lily, you were right! It's fun!" Tom said. + +Lily and Tom swung on the rope for a while. They forgot about everything else. They did not see the man who came to the park. The man was bad. He wanted to take the rope. He had a knife. He cut the rope when Lily and Tom were not looking. + +Lily and Tom did not know. They swung one more time. They felt a snap. The rope broke. They fell to the ground. They hit their heads and their arms and their legs. They felt pain and fear. They cried and screamed. + +The man ran away with the rope. He did not care about Lily and Tom. He was mean and selfish. He did not help them. + +Lily and Tom were hurt and alone. They wished they had not swung on the rope. They wished they had stayed safe. They wished someone would come and help them. But no one came. They were sad and sorry. The end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a lot of iron. Iron is hard and shiny. + +"Wow, look at the iron!" Tom says. "It is so big and heavy!" + +Mia nods. She observes the iron. She sees different shapes and colors. "I wonder what they will do with the iron," she says. + +A man comes out of the truck. He is friendly. He smiles at Tom and Mia. "Hello, kids," he says. "Do you want to know what I do with the iron?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia say. + +The man explains. "I take the iron to a place where they make things. They use fire and tools to make the iron into cars, bridges, and buildings. Iron is very useful and strong." + +Tom and Mia are amazed. They thank the man for telling them. They learn something new. They go back to play. They pretend to make things with iron. They have fun. +Lily likes to polish her shoes. She has a red cloth and a shiny tin. She rubs the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She makes them look very bright and clean. + +One day, Lily wants to polish her hair too. She thinks her hair is like her shoes. She takes the tin and the cloth to the bathroom. She sees a bottle of shampoo on the shelf. She thinks shampoo is like polish for hair. + +She opens the bottle and pours some shampoo on her cloth. She rubs the cloth on her hair. She makes a lot of bubbles and foam. She thinks her hair is very light and soft. + +But then she feels something in her eyes. It is the shampoo. It stings and hurts. She cries and screams. She drops the cloth and the bottle. She runs to the sink and turns on the tap. She tries to wash the shampoo out of her eyes. + +Mama hears Lily crying and runs to the bathroom. She sees the mess and the shampoo. She hugs Lily and helps her rinse her eyes. She tells her shampoo is not polish for hair. It is soap for washing hair. She says polish is only for shoes and furniture. + +Lily is sorry and sad. She says she wanted to make her hair shiny like her shoes. Mama smiles and kisses her. She says her hair is already shiny and beautiful. She does not need polish. She only needs shampoo and water. And a towel to dry her hair. And a comb to brush her hair. And a ribbon to tie her hair. And a hug to make her happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with dough in the kitchen. They liked to make shapes and animals with the dough. Ben made a snake and Lily made a star. + +"Look at my snake!" Ben said. "It is long and green and scary!" + +"Look at my star!" Lily said. "It is shiny and yellow and pretty!" + +They showed each other their dough creations. They were proud of what they made. + +But then, Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the dough on the table and on the floor and on the chairs. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "This is not play dough. This is bread dough. I was going to make bread for dinner. Now the dough is ruined!" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They did not know the difference between play dough and bread dough. They thought all dough was for playing. + +They shrugged their shoulders. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They just wanted to have fun. + +Mom sighed. She was not really angry. She knew Ben and Lily were just curious and creative. But she also knew they made a big mess. + +"Come on, you crazy kids," Mom said. "Let's clean up this dough. And then we can make some cookies instead of bread. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked cookies. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean up the dough. They learned a new word: bread. And they learned a new lesson: not all dough is for playing. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they feel tired. They sit on a bench and drink some water. They rest for a bit. + +"Are you having a great time, Lily?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, Tom, I am. You are a great friend," Lily says. + +They smile at each other. They are happy. + +Then they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and a wet nose. It runs towards them. It wants to play too. + +"Hi, doggy!" Tom and Lily say. They pet the dog and throw a ball for it. The dog chases the ball and brings it back. It wags its tail and licks their faces. + +They laugh and play with the dog. They make a new friend. + +The result is that they have a great day. They forget that they are tired. They are having too much fun. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big black and yellow bug on a leaf. Sara wanted to touch it, but Tom said no. + +"Guess what it is?" Tom asked. + +"A bee?" Sara guessed. + +"No, it is not a bee. It is a wasp. It can sting you and it hurts a lot. Bees make honey, but wasps make nothing. They are mean bugs," Tom said. + +Sara was frightened of the wasp. She did not want to get stung. She ran away from the leaf and hid behind a tree. Tom followed her and tried to make her feel better. + +"Don't be scared, Sara. The wasp is gone now. Look, I have something for you. It is cream. It is sweet and yummy. You can put it on your bread or eat it with a spoon. Do you want some?" Tom offered. + +Sara smiled and nodded. She liked cream. She took a spoon from Tom and dipped it in the cream. She tasted it and licked her lips. It was delicious. She forgot about the wasp and thanked Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Cream is better than wasps. Can we share it?" Sara asked. + +"Of course we can. You are welcome, Sara. You are a good friend too. Cream is much better than wasps. Let's eat it together," Tom agreed. + +They sat under the tree and ate the cream. They were happy and not frightened anymore. They enjoyed their snack and their game. They did not see the wasp again. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cake on a table. It was pink and had many candles. + +"Wow, look at that cake!" Sara said. "It must be for a party." + +"Let's go and see it," Tom said. "Maybe we can have a bite." + +They ran to the table. But when they got there, they saw a man with a mask and a bag. He was a thief. He was taking the cake. + +"Hey, stop!" Sara shouted. "That's not your cake!" + +The thief looked at them and laughed. "Too bad, kids. This is my cake now. I'm going to marry it and eat it all by myself." + +He put the cake in his bag and ran away. + +Sara and Tom were sad and angry. They wanted to stop the thief. They saw a policeman nearby. They ran to him and told him what happened. + +"Help us, please!" Tom said. "A thief stole a pink cake from the table. It was for a party." + +The policeman nodded. "Don't worry, kids. I'll catch the thief and get the cake back. You stay here and wait for me." + +He got on his bike and chased the thief. Sara and Tom hoped he would be fast. + +Soon, the policeman came back. He had the thief and the cake. He gave the cake to Sara and Tom. + +"Here you go, kids. I'm sorry the thief ruined your party. He's going to jail now. He can't marry or eat the cake." + +Sara and Tom smiled. They thanked the policeman. They took the cake to the table. They saw many people there. They were happy and clapping. + +"Surprise!" they said. "The cake is for you, Sara and Tom. Happy birthday!" + +Sara and Tom were surprised and happy. They didn't know it was their birthday. They blew the candles and cut the cake. They shared it with everyone. They had a great party. They forgot about the thief. They were glad they were friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a whistle on the ground. It is shiny and red. + +"Look, a whistle!" Tom says. He picks it up and blows it. It makes a loud sound. "Whoo, whoo!" + +Mia claps her hands. "Let me try!" she says. She takes the whistle from Tom and blows it. It makes a loud sound too. "Whoo, whoo!" + +They take turns blowing the whistle. They have fun. They run and jump and laugh. + +But then, a big dog comes. It hears the whistle. It thinks it is a toy. It runs to Tom and Mia. It barks and jumps. It wants the whistle. + +Tom and Mia are scared. The dog is big and loud. They hold the whistle tight. They do not want to give it to the dog. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. He shakes the whistle at the dog. "This is ours!" + +The dog does not listen. It tries to grab the whistle. It snaps and growls. + +"Help, help!" Mia says. She shakes the whistle too. "We need help!" + +A man hears them. He is busy. He is walking with a bag. He sees Tom and Mia and the dog. He runs to them. He is the dog's owner. + +"Rex, stop!" he says. He calls the dog. He takes the dog by the collar. He makes the dog sit. "I'm sorry, kids. He likes whistles. He thinks they are fun. He did not mean to scare you." + +Tom and Mia are glad. They are not scared anymore. They smile at the man. + +"Thank you, mister," Tom says. He gives the whistle to the man. "You can have the whistle. We do not want it anymore." + +The man takes the whistle. He thanks Tom and Mia. He puts the whistle in his bag. He walks away with the dog. + +Tom and Mia wave goodbye. They are still friends. They go to play something else. They do not need the whistle. They have each other. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big pile of leaves. They jump in the leaves and laugh. + +"Look, I am a lion!" Tom says. He acts like a lion. He roars and crawls in the leaves. + +"I am a bird!" Sue says. She acts like a bird. She flaps her arms and sings in the leaves. + +They have fun acting like animals. But then they feel hot. The sun is bright and warm. They are thirsty and tired. + +"Let's go to the fountain!" Tom says. He picks up a leaf and puts it on his head. "This is my hat!" + +"Good idea!"

She liked to dress herself, brush her teeth, and make her bed. She also liked to play outside with her toys and her dog, Spot. + +One day, the weather was sunny and warm, and Anna wanted to go outside. She put on her shoes, her hat, and her backpack. She filled her backpack with her favorite toys: a ball, a doll, and a book. She also took a bottle of water and a snack. She told her mom, "I'm going outside, Mom. I can take care of myself." + +"Okay, Anna, but be careful and don't go too far," her mom said. "And come back when I call you for lunch." + +Anna nodded and went outside. She saw Spot waiting for her in the yard. She threw the ball and Spot ran after it. They played catch for a while, then Anna decided to sit under a big tree and read her book. She opened her backpack and reached for her book, but she could not find it. She looked inside and saw that her backpack was empty. She had forgotten to zip it up, and all her toys had fallen out along the way. + +"Oh no, where are my toys?" Anna cried. She looked around and saw that some of her toys were on the sidewalk, some were on the grass, and some were on the road. She ran to get them, but she was too late. A car came and ran over her doll, a bird flew away with her ball, and a boy on a bike took her book. + +Anna was very sad and angry. She wished she had listened to her mom and not gone too far. She wished she had asked for help and not been so independent. She wished she had zipped up her backpack and not lost her toys. She sat on the curb and cried. + +Spot came and licked her face. He tried to cheer her up, but Anna was still upset. She heard her mom calling her for lunch. She got up and walked back to the house, holding Spot's leash. She hoped her mom would not be mad at her. She hoped she would get new toys someday. She learned a lesson that day: sometimes it is good to be independent, but sometimes it is better to be careful and ask for help. +Tom and Lily were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at each other, but they did not want to talk. + +"I have an idea," Tom said. "Let's play kick the shoe." + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is a fun game. We take off our shoes and we kick them across the room. We see who can kick them the farthest." + +"Okay," Lily said. "That sounds fun." + +They took off their shoes and put them on the floor. Tom kicked his shoe first. It flew over the couch and landed on the table. + +"Wow, that was a good kick," Lily said. + +"Thank you," Tom said. "Now it is your turn." + +Lily kicked her shoe next. It flew over the chair and landed on the window. + +"Wow, that was a better kick," Tom said. + +"Thank you," Lily said. "I win." + +They laughed and clapped. They kicked their shoes again and again.

His blocks kept falling down. He tried to make them stick, but they did not. He was angry. + +"Quit it, Lily!" he shouted. "You are making my blocks fall!" + +Lily looked at him. She was not making his blocks fall. She was building her own tower. It was tall and strong. She was proud. + +"I am not doing anything, Tim," she said. "You are just bad at building. Your blocks are broken." + +Tim felt hurt. He did not think his blocks were broken. He thought Lily was mean. He wanted to make her tower fall too. He had an idea. He picked up a ball and threw it at Lily's tower. + +Crash! Lily's tower fell down. The blocks scattered everywhere. Lily was shocked. She started to cry. + +"Tim, why did you do that?" she sobbed. "That was my tower. I worked hard on it. You are mean!" + +Tim felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He just wanted to show her how he felt. He realized his idea was bad. He wished he did not throw the ball. + +"I am sorry, Lily," he said. "I was mad at you. But I should not have thrown the ball. That was wrong. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looked at him. She was still sad, but she did not want to be mad at Tim. She liked playing with him. She nodded. + +"Okay, Tim," she said. "But you have to help me fix my tower. And you have to be nice to me. And you have to share your blocks." + +Tim agreed. He hugged Lily and said he was sorry again. Then they picked up their blocks and started to build together. They made a new tower.

Sara ducks. The snowball misses her. It hits a high tree. The tree shakes. A lot of snow falls from the tree. It falls on Tom. Tom is cold and wet. He cries. + +Sara feels sorry for Tom. She runs to him. She says, "Tom, are you okay? I am sorry you are cold and wet. Here, you can have my scarf. It will make you warm." Tom stops crying. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I am sorry I was mean. Can we still be friends?" Sara says, "Yes, Tom. We can still be friends. But you have to share and be nice. Do you want to make a snowman with me?" Tom says, "Yes, Sara. I want to make a snowman with you. That sounds fun." + +Sara and Tom wrap the scarf around the snowman's neck. They give him a carrot nose and a hat. They encourage him to smile. They are happy. They hug each other. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shells, rocks, or coins.

He saw the children fighting and heard them shout. He was curious and came closer. He saw the diamond in Anna's hand and his eyes widened. He knew it was very valuable and rare.

"What are you playing with?" + +He tried to grab the diamond from Anna, but she was quick and ran away. Ben followed her. They ran to the swings and hid behind them. The man chased them with his dog. He was very angry and crazy. + +"Give me that diamond!" he shouted. "It is mine, not yours!" + +He was so loud and scary that other people in the park noticed him.

They took them away in their car. + +Anna and Ben were safe and happy. They hugged each other and said sorry for fighting. They decided to share the diamond and be friends. They showed the diamond to the police and told them how they found it. The police were very surprised and proud. They said the diamond was stolen from a museum and they had been looking for it for a long time. They thanked the children for finding it and returning it. They gave them a reward and a medal.

This water is gross!" + +Sam laughed and said, "Of course it is, Lila. You can't drink puddle water. It's dirty and yucky. You should drink clean water, like from the fountain or the bottle. Come on, let's go get some. And maybe you can play with me on the slide, if you dry off first." + +Lila nodded and smiled. She followed Sam to the fountain and drank some water. It tasted good, like fresh and cool. She said, "This water is better. Thank you, Sam. Can we play on the slide now?" + +Sam said, "Sure, Lila. You're welcome. And you know what?

It thought your camera was food or a toy. Maybe we can get it back later," mom says. + +"Can we pay the goose to give it back?" Anna asks. + +"Pay the goose? How?" mom asks. + +"With bread or corn or something," Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She thinks that is a good idea. She takes out some bread from her bag and gives it to Anna and Ben. + +"OK, let's try. Maybe the goose will be nice and trade the camera for the bread. But be careful, don't get too close to the goose. It might bite you," mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They hold the bread in their hands and walk slowly to the pond. They see the goose with the camera. They wave the bread and call the goose. + +"Hey, goose, we have bread for you. Do you want some? Can we have our camera back, please?" Anna says. + +The goose looks at them. It sees the bread. It drops the camera and swims towards them. It takes the bread from their hands and eats it. + +"Thank you, goose. You are a good goose. Can we have our camera now?" Ben says. + +The goose nods. It swims back to the camera and pushes it to the edge of the pond. Anna and Ben pick up the camera. They are happy. They hug the goose. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they say. + +The goose quacks and honks. It is happy too. It likes the bread and the kids. + +Anna and Ben show their mom the camera. They are proud. They paid the goose for the camera. + +"Wow, you did it! You are very smart and brave. I'm proud of you. Let's see your pictures," mom says. + +They look at the pictures. They see the ducks, the geese and the wild goose with the camera. They laugh and smile. + +They had a fun day at the park. They learned a new word: pay. They made a new friend: the wild goose. They love their camera. +Anna and Ben like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. They have a big car that can fit all their toys and clothes. They are happy when they travel. + +One day, they go to a hot place with many trees and animals. Mom and dad say they have to be careful and stay close to them. They say there are some bad animals that can hurt them. Anna and Ben are serious and listen to them. + +They walk in the forest and look at the birds and flowers. They see a big lake with water and fish. They want to swim and play. Mom and dad say they can, but only for a little while. They say they have to stay in the shade, where it is cool and safe. + +Anna and Ben run to the lake and jump in the water. They splash and laugh. They forget about the bad animals and the shade. They swim far from mom and dad. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They turn around and see a big lion. The lion is hungry and angry. It sees Anna and Ben and runs to them. Mom and dad scream and run to them too. But they are too late. The lion catches Anna and Ben and eats them. Mom and dad cry and cry. They are very sad. They wish they had stayed in the shade. They wish Anna and Ben had listened to them. They wish they had never traveled to that place. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the pond with Mom. The pond has ducks and fish and frogs. Sara and Ben want to feed the ducks. + +"Look, Mom, the ducks are hungry!" Sara says. She throws some bread to the water. The ducks swim and quack and eat the bread. + +"Can I touch a duck, Mom?" Ben asks. He tries to reach a duck with his hand. The duck is scared and splashes Ben with water. + +"Ben, be careful! The ducks don't like that!" Mom says. She pulls Ben back. Ben is wet and sad. + +"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, duck," Ben says. He wipes his face with his sleeve. + +"It's okay, Ben. The duck is not angry. He just wants to be safe," Mom says. She hugs Ben and gives him a towel. + +Sara and Ben watch the pond for a while. They see the fish swim and the frogs jump. They hear the birds sing and the wind blow. They feel the sun warm and the grass soft. They are happy and sleepy. + +"Mom, can we take a nap here?" Sara asks. She yawns and rubs her eyes. + +"Sure, Sara. We can nap here. It's a nice place to sleep," Mom says. She lays a blanket on the ground. She lies down with Sara and Ben. They snuggle and close their eyes. + +"Good night, Mom. Good night, Sara. Good night, pond," Ben says. + +"Good night, Ben. Good night, Mom. Good night, pond," Sara says. + +"Good night, my sweeties. Good night, pond," Mom says. + +They sleep and dream of the pond. The pond is quiet and peaceful. The ducks and the fish and the frogs are their friends. They are happy and sleepy. +Tom and Sue like to travel. They have a big car with many tools. They use the tools to fix the car when it is broken. They also use the tools to make things for fun. + +One day, they travel to the park. They see a big tree with many branches. They want to make a house in the tree. They take their tools and climb the tree. They find a perfect spot for their house. + +"Look, Tom, this is a good place for our house. We can see the whole park from here," Sue says. + +"Yes, Sue, this is a perfect place. Let's use our tools to make our house. We can use this wood and this rope and this nail," Tom says. + +They work hard and have fun. They make a house with a door and a window and a roof. They are very happy with their house. They play in their house and eat their snacks. They share their house with the birds and the squirrels. They travel to the park every week to visit their house. They love to travel and make things with their tools. +Sara and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. They took turns to go down the slide and laughed. Sara liked the slide a lot. Ben liked it too, but he also wanted to try the swings. + +"Can we go to the swings, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, honey. But let Sara have one more turn on the slide, okay?" mom said. + +Ben nodded. He was a good brother. He waited for Sara to finish. Then they went to the swings. Sara pushed Ben and Ben pushed Sara. They had fun. + +They saw an old man sitting on a bench. He had a bag of bread. He was feeding the birds. The birds came close to him and ate the bread. Sara and Ben liked the birds. They wanted to feed them too. + +"Can we feed the birds, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Let's ask the man first, sweetie. Maybe he will share his bread with us," mom said. + +They walked to the bench. Mom smiled at the man. The man smiled back. + +"Hello, sir. We like your birds. Can we feed them too?" mom asked. + +"Of course, ma'am. You and your children are welcome to join me. I have plenty of bread. Here, take some," the man said. He was very generous. He gave mom some bread. Mom gave some to Sara and Ben. + +"Thank you, sir. You are very kind," mom said. + +"Thank you, thank you," Sara and Ben said. + +They fed the birds. The birds were happy. They chirped and flew. Sara and Ben were happy too. They thanked the man again. They hugged mom. They had a wonderful day at the park. +Lily and Ben were very excited for Thanksgiving. They loved to eat turkey and pie and play with their cousins. But they also wanted to have some fun before dinner. They saw a big box in the garage and decided to make a fort with it. + +They dragged the box to the living room and cut out a door and a window. They put some pillows and blankets inside and pretended they were kings and queens. They had a lot of fun, but they did not hear their mom calling them to help set the table. + +"Come on, Lily and Ben, it's time to help!" their mom shouted. "The turkey is almost ready and we need to put the plates and forks and napkins on the table." + +But Lily and Ben did not listen. They were too busy playing in their fort. They did not notice that their dog, Spot, was sniffing around the kitchen. He smelled the turkey and wanted to have a taste. He jumped on the counter and grabbed the turkey with his mouth. He ran away with it, leaving a trail of crumbs and juice behind him. + +Their mom saw what happened and screamed. She ran after Spot, but he was too fast. He ran outside and hid under a bush with his prize. Their mom was very angry and sad. She had worked hard to make the turkey and now it was gone. + +She went back to the living room and saw Lily and Ben in their fort. They heard her scream and came out. They saw her face and knew something was wrong. + +"What happened, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Spot took the turkey and ran away with it," their mom said. "Now we have no turkey for dinner. How could you be so careless and not help me?" + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to their mom and helped her. They regretted playing in their fort and ignoring her. They said they were sorry and hugged her. + +They were very uncomfortable and did not know what to do. They hoped their mom would forgive them and their cousins would not laugh at them. They wondered if they would still have pie. They learned a lesson that day: they should always help their mom and not be selfish. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. Sometimes they crawl on the grass and pretend to be animals. They make noises and chase each other. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and mild. He does not bark or bite. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Tim and Sam are happy. They pet the dog and hug him. + +"Hello, doggy," Tim says. "What is your name?" + +The dog does not answer. He just sniffs and nuzzles them. + +"Maybe his name is Peace," Sam says. "He is so calm and friendly." + +Tim and Sam agree. They call the dog Peace and play with him. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They crawl with him and he follows them. They have a lot of fun. + +Soon, it is time to go home. Tim and Sam say goodbye to Peace. They hope to see him again. + +"Bye, Peace," Tim says. "You are a good dog. We love you." + +"Bye, Peace," Sam says. "You are our new friend. We will come back." + +Peace wags his tail and licks their faces. He watches them leave. He is happy too. He has found two boys who like to crawl and play. He has found peace. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big hill with a hole in it. They want to go inside and explore. + +"Can we go, mom?" Ben asks. + +"Please, dad?" Mia says. + +Mom and dad look at the hole. They are not sure. It looks dark and scary. But they see that Ben and Mia are polite and curious. They say yes, but they tell them to be careful and stay close. + +Ben and Mia run to the hole. They hold hands and go inside. It is very dark. They can only see a little bit. They hear strange noises. They hear squeaks and hisses and thumps. They are scared, but they keep going. + +They see something shiny in the dark. They go closer. It is a skull. A big skull with sharp teeth and horns. It looks like a monster. Ben and Mia scream and run back to the hole. They want to get out. + +Mom and dad hear them scream. They run to the hole. They see Ben and Mia come out. They hug them and ask them what happened. + +"We saw a skull!" Ben says. + +"A monster skull!" Mia says. + +Mom and dad look at the skull. They laugh. It is not a monster skull. It is a dinosaur skull. A very old dinosaur skull. They tell Ben and Mia that it is not scary. It is amazing. They explain that dinosaurs lived a long time ago and that some people find their bones and learn about them. + +Ben and Mia calm down. They look at the skull again. They are not scared anymore. They are amazed too. They ask mom and dad many questions about dinosaurs. They want to learn more. + +Mom and dad are happy. They are proud of Ben and Mia. They are brave and polite and curious. They take them to the library and find some books about dinosaurs. They read them together and have fun. Ben and Mia love dinosaurs. They love mom and dad. They love to explore. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red apples. Sara wanted to pick an apple, but Tom said no. + +"Why not?" Sara asked. + +"Because the tree is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We should not take what is not ours. That is bad," Tom said. + +"But I am hungry. And the apples look so good. And no one is here. Who will know?" Sara said. + +Tom shook his head. "That is not right. We should trust what our parents and teachers tell us. They say we should be honest and kind. If we take the apples, we are not honest and kind. We are selfish and greedy. And maybe someone will know. Maybe the owner of the tree will come and be angry. Or maybe we will feel guilty and sad. Do you want that?" Tom said. + +Sara thought for a moment. She looked at the apples. They were shiny and red. But she also looked at Tom. He was her friend. He had clear eyes and a warm smile. He always helped her and shared with her. She trusted him. She did not want to make him or anyone else unhappy. She did not want to be selfish and greedy. She wanted to be honest and kind. + +"You are right, Tom. I am sorry. I will not take the apples. Let's go and find something else to eat. Maybe we can ask our parents for a snack. Or maybe we can find some berries or nuts in the park. They are also good and yummy. And they are free and fair," Sara said. + +Tom smiled and hugged Sara. "I am proud of you, Sara. You are a good friend. And you are smart and brave. You made a good choice. Come on, let's go and have fun. Maybe we can also find some flowers or rocks or bugs to look at. There are so many things to see and do in the park. And we can enjoy them together. Because we are friends. And we trust each other," Tom said. + +They held hands and ran to the park. They had a great time. And they did not need the apples. Because they had something better. They had each other. And they had trust. And that was the best thing of all. +Tom and Sue like to play knights and dragons. Tom has a sword and Sue has a shield. They pretend to fight the big dragon in the garden. The dragon is a big tree with red leaves. + +One day, Tom and Sue are playing knights and dragons again. But Tom is careless. He does not look where he swings his sword. He hits Sue's shield hard. The shield breaks. Sue is sad. She cries. + +Tom says he is sorry. He tries to fix the shield. But it is too late. The shield is broken. Sue does not want to play with Tom anymore. She goes home. + +Tom is alone. He is sad too. He misses Sue. He wishes he was not careless. He learns to be careful with his sword and his friends. + +The end. + +Moral value: Be careful with your things and your friends. You might hurt them or lose them if you are careless. +Lily and Ben love to go on tours with their mom and dad. They like to see new things and learn new words. One day, they went on a tour to the zoo. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. + +"Look, Lily, a big elephant!" Ben said, pointing to the gray animal with a long nose. + +"Wow, Ben, it is so big! Can we touch it?" Lily asked, reaching out her hand. + +"No, Lily, we can't touch it. It is not safe. We can only look and listen," mom said, holding Lily's hand. + +"Why not, mom?" Lily asked, feeling sad. + +"Because the elephant might hurt us, Lily. It is not a pet. It is a wild animal. It lives in a different place than we do. We have to respect it and give it space," mom explained. + +"Oh, I see, mom. I respect the elephant. But I still like it. It is so cool," Lily said, smiling. + +"Me too, Lily. Me too," Ben said, nodding. + +They continued their tour and saw many more animals. They learned their names and sounds. They had a lot of fun. They were glad they went on the tour to the zoo. They thanked their mom and dad for taking them. They said they loved them very much. Mom and dad hugged them and said they loved them too. They all went home happy and tired. +Tim and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big red ball in the grass. They ran to get it. + +"Wow, this is a great ball!" Tim said. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, but we have to share," Sue said. "You can kick it first, then I can kick it." + +Tim nodded. He kicked the ball hard. It flew in the air. It went to the east. Tim and Sue chased it. + +But the ball did not land on the ground. It landed on a car. The car had a window. The ball broke the window. Glass went everywhere. + +A man came out of the car. He was angry. He saw the ball. He saw Tim and Sue. + +"Who did this?" he yelled. "Who spoiled my car?" + +Tim and Sue were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other.

They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they decided to have a marriage. They put on their best clothes and found a ring. They asked their teddy bear to be the priest. + +"Tom, do you want to be Lisa's husband?" the teddy bear asked. + +"Yes, I do," Tom said. + +"Lisa, do you want to be Tom's wife?" the teddy bear asked. + +"Yes, I do," Lisa said. + +"Then you are married. You may kiss," the teddy bear said. + +Lisa and Tom kissed. They were happy. + +But then, Sam came. Sam was rude. He did not like Lisa and Tom. He wanted to spoil their marriage. He grabbed the ring and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine now!" Sam said. + +He ran to the kitchen. He saw a candle. He had a bad idea. He put the ring on the candle. The ring started to burn. + +"Ha ha, look at your ring now!" Sam said. + +Lisa and Tom followed him. They saw the ring on fire. They were sad and angry. + +"That's not nice, Sam! You are mean!" Lisa said. + +"You are a bad friend, Sam! You hurt our feelings!" Tom said. + +Sam did not care. He laughed. He thought it was funny. + +But then, Mom came. She saw the ring burning. She saw Lisa and Tom crying. She saw Sam laughing. She was not happy. + +"Sam, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"I burned their ring. It was a silly marriage," Sam said. + +Mom was very mad. She took the ring off the candle. She put it in water. She scolded Sam. + +"Sam, that was very rude and dangerous. You could have started a fire. You could have hurt yourself or others. You have to apologize to Lisa and Tom. And you have to go to your room. No dessert for you tonight," Mom said. + +Sam was sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said sorry to Lisa and Tom. He went to his room. + +Mom gave Lisa and Tom a hug. She gave them a new ring. She said their marriage was beautiful. She said they were good friends. + +Lisa and Tom smiled. They thanked Mom.

He had many friends who lived near his house. They liked to play with him in the park, in the garden or in the street. + +One day, it was very cold outside. The sky was gray and the wind was strong. Tom's mom said, "You can't go out today, Tom. It's too cold. You will get sick. Stay inside and play with your toys." Tom was sad. He wanted to go out and see his friends. He did not like to play alone. + +He looked at his toys. He had a train, a car, a doll and a puzzle. He tried to play with them, but he was bored. He missed his friends. He felt lonely. He said to himself, "I don't like this. I want to go out. Maybe it's not so cold. Maybe my friends are waiting for me." + +He decided to sneak out of his house. He put on his coat, his boots and his yellow hat. He took his red ball and his blue bike. He opened the door and ran outside. He did not see his mom. + +He rode his bike to the park. He hoped to find his friends there. But the park was empty. There was no one there. The swings were still, the slide was wet and the sandbox was frozen. Tom felt even more lonely. He said, "Where are my friends? Why are they not here? Don't they want to play with me?" + +He heard a voice behind him. It was his mom. She had followed him. She was angry. She said, "Tom, what are you doing here? I told you to stay inside. It's too cold. You are naughty. Come back with me right now." + +Tom was scared. He knew he had done something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play with my friends. I was lonely. Please don't be mad at me." + +His mom hugged him. She said, "I'm not mad at you, Tom. I love you. I know you were lonely. But you have to listen to me. It's not safe to go out when it's cold. You could get hurt or sick. Your friends are not here because they are inside too. They are not allowed to go out either. They will play with you another day. Now let's go home and have some hot chocolate. OK?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I love you too. Can we play a game when we get home?" + +His mom smiled. She said, "Sure, Tom. We can play a game. Whatever you want. You are my sweet boy." + +They went home together. Tom felt warm and happy. He was not lonely anymore. He had his mom and his toys. He learned a lesson. He decided to obey his mom and stay inside when it was cold. He knew she wanted the best for him. He knew his friends would come back when the sun was shining. He knew he had a lot of fun to look forward to. He was a good boy. +Tom and Mia are squirrels. They like to find nuts and hide them in their tree. One day, they see a big nut on the ground. It is shiny and brown and smells good. + +"Look, Mia, a big nut!" Tom says. "Let's take it to our tree." + +"Yes, let's go!" Mia says. They run to the nut and grab it with their teeth. But then they hear a loud roar. + +"Hey, that's my nut!" a bear says. He is big and angry and has sharp teeth. He runs after Tom and Mia. + +"Oh no, a bear!" Tom says. "What do we do?" + +"Quick, send the nut to the tree!" Mia says. She throws the nut in the air with her mouth. Tom jumps and catches it. He runs to the tree and climbs up. Mia follows him. + +They reach their hole and hide the nut inside. The bear can't climb the tree. He is sad and mad. He goes away. + +"Phew, that was close!" Tom says. "But we did it! We have a big nut!" + +"Yes, we do!" Mia says. "And it is hidden from the bear. He can't find it." + +They smile and hug. They are happy and proud. They share the nut and eat it. It is yummy and crunchy. They are full and sleepy. They snuggle and sleep. They dream of more nuts. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys in Sam's room. Sam has a big fan that makes wind. Mia likes the fan. She wants to touch it. + +"Can I play with the fan?" Mia asks Sam. + +"No, it is mine. You can play with something else." Sam says. He is not nice. + +Mia is sad. She waits for Sam to pass the fan to her. But Sam does not pass the fan. He keeps it for himself. He makes the fan go faster and faster. + +The fan makes a loud noise. It shakes and wobbles. Sam is scared. He tries to turn it off. But he can't. The fan falls off the table. It breaks into pieces. + +Sam and Mia are shocked. They hear a knock on the door. It is Sam's mom. She is angry. She sees the broken fan. She does not know what happened. + +"Who did this?" She asks. She looks at Sam and Mia. + +Sam and Mia do not say anything. They are afraid. They do not know what to do. They wish they had shared the fan. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and climb on the monkey bars. But their favorite thing was to hang from the big tree. The tree had many branches and leaves, and it was fun to hang upside down and pretend to be monkeys. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than them and had a rough voice. He came to the tree and said, "This is my tree. You have to go away." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to fight with the new boy. They wanted to share the tree and play nicely. But the new boy did not listen. He pushed them off the tree and hung on the branch by himself. He laughed and said, "I am the king of the tree. You are too small and weak to hang here." + +Ben and Lily ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what happened and asked for help. Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That boy was not very nice. He did not have wisdom. Wisdom is when you know how to be kind and fair and share with others. Wisdom is better than being big and strong." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood what their mom said. They decided to play somewhere else and wait for the new boy to leave. They hoped that one day, he would learn wisdom and be their friend. They knew that hanging from the tree was fun, but hanging with friends was more fun. +Sara and Ben live in a small house in a valley. They have a big garden with many flowers and fruits. They like to sell some of their flowers and fruits at the market. They have a regular spot near the fountain, where many people come to buy and chat. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the market with a basket full of roses and apples.

It has a big sign that says "Magic roses and apples for sale. Two coins each." The stall is full of roses and apples that sparkle and glow in different colors. Many people are curious and want to buy them. + +Sara and Ben feel sad and angry. They think the magic roses and apples are fake and unfair. They think their roses and apples are better, because they are real and natural. They decide to do something. + +They go to the fountain and fill a bucket with water. They add some soap and make bubbles. They blow the bubbles over their roses and apples, making them shiny and wet. They change their sign to say "Bubble roses and apples for sale. One coin each. Fun and fresh." + +Soon, people notice their stall and come to see. They like the bubble roses and apples, because they are pretty and playful.

They saw their planes fly over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. They were very sad and scared. They did not know if they could get their planes back. + +They knocked on the neighbor's door and asked if they could have their planes. The neighbor was a nice lady who liked children. She said yes, but she asked them to do something for her first. She said she had a big quilt that she was making for her granddaughter, but she needed some help. She asked Mia and Leo to touch the different fabrics and tell her what texture they felt. She said texture meant how something felt, like soft or rough or smooth. + +Mia and Leo agreed to help. They touched the quilt and said the words they knew. They said some fabrics were soft like a bunny, some were rough like a tree, some were smooth like a glass, and some were fuzzy like a peach. The neighbor was very happy and thanked them. She said they had good eyes and good hands. She gave them their planes and some cookies. + +Mia and Leo were very grateful and happy. They thanked the neighbor and hugged her. They ran back to their backyard and played with their planes again. They made them soar in the air and pretend they were pilots. They said they had a new friend and a new word. They said they liked texture. +Lily is a girl who likes to play in the water. She has a big tub in her backyard. She fills it with water from the hose. She puts on her swimsuit and jumps in. She splashes and laughs with her toys. + +But soon the sun goes down and the air gets cold. Lily's mom calls her to come inside. Lily does not want to leave the water. She says, "No, no, I want to play more!" But her mom says, "Lily, you are wet and cold. You need to dry off and get warm. Come on, let's go." + +Lily gets out of the tub. She feels the cold wind on her skin. She shivers and hugs herself. She sees her mom holding a big towel.

Thank you for the water and the towel and the cocoa. Good night." She falls asleep in her mom's arms. +Lily and Ben liked to play with their crayons and paper. They liked to print their names, shapes, and animals. One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to make a tunnel with their paper. + +They took many sheets of paper and taped them together. They made a long strip of paper. Then they bent it into a circle and taped the ends. They had a tunnel! They put it on the floor and crawled inside. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. "We made our own tunnel!" + +"Yes, we did!" Ben said. "We are very clever!" + +They peeked out of the tunnel and saw their mom. She was smiling and holding a camera. + +"Hello, my little artists!" she said. "Can I take a picture of your tunnel?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They crawled out of the tunnel and posed next to it. They were very cheerful. + +Mom took the picture and showed it to them. They liked it very much. + +"Can we print the picture and put it on the wall?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can!" Mom said. "You did a great job with your tunnel. I'm very proud of you!" + +Lily and Ben hugged their mom and thanked her. They were happy. They liked to print and make tunnels. They liked to play with their crayons and paper. +Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and graceful. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I give some bread to the swans?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't throw too much bread. It can spoil the water and make the swans sick." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and took a piece of bread from the bag. She broke it into small bits and tossed them to the swans. The swans came closer and ate the bread. They made soft noises. Lily smiled. She felt peaceful. + +Tom was bored. He did not like the swans. He thought they were boring and ugly. He wanted to have some fun. He saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the pond. + +"Hey, watch this!" Tom shouted. He swung the stick and hit a swan on the head. The swan cried out and fell into the water. The other swans flew away. The water turned red. + +Lily gasped. She dropped the bread and ran to the swan. She tried to help it, but it was too late. The swan was dead. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Lily screamed. "You killed the swan! You are mean and bad!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the pond. She saw the stick, the blood, and the dead swan. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, how could you do such a thing? You hurt the swan and spoiled the pond. You scared the other swans and Lily. You have to say sorry and go home. You are in big trouble." Mom said. + +Tom felt sorry, but he did not say it. He was scared and ashamed. He followed Mom and Lily to the car. They left the park. The park was not peaceful anymore. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then Lily felt something on her leg. It was a bug. The bug bit Lily and made her leg itch. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cried. "Itch! Itch! Itch!" + +Tom ran to Lily and saw the bug. He tried to shoo it away, but it was too fast. It flew to Lily's other leg and bit her again. + +"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Tom shouted. "Bad bug! Go away!" + +Lily and Tom ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. They told her about the bug and showed her their legs. Mom looked at the bites and said they were not too bad. She gave them some cream to put on the bites. The cream made the itch go away. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They hugged their mom and felt better. + +Mom said they could play some more, but they had to be careful of the bugs. She also said they had to go home soon, because it was getting dark. Lily and Tom nodded and went back to the park. They played until the sun went down and the sky was dark. Then they went home with their mom and had a nice dinner. They were happy and forgot about the bug. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball that is red and blue. It is their favorite toy. It is theirs. It is their mine. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth. It is scary. The dog sees the ball. It wants the ball. It runs to the ball. + +"Mine!" Tim shouts. He tries to get the ball. But the dog is faster. It grabs the ball with its mouth. It runs away. + +"Mine!" Jen cries. She runs after the dog. She is brave. She wants the ball back. But the dog is too far. It goes to the woods. + +"Jen, stop!" Mom calls. She is worried. The woods are dark and scary. There may be more dogs. Or worse. She runs after Jen. + +Tim is sad. He lost his ball. He lost his mine. He sits on the grass. He sees something shiny. It is a coin. It is silver and round. It is pretty. It is his. It is his mine. + +He picks up the coin. He smiles. He stretches his hand. He shows Mom and Jen. They come back. They did not find the ball. They did not find the dog. They are sad. But they see the coin. They are happy. + +"Mine!" Tim says. He gives the coin to Jen. He is nice. He shares his mine. + +"Mine!" Jen says. She gives the coin to Mom. She is nice. She shares her mine. + +"Mine!" Mom says. She gives the coin to Tim and Jen. She is nice. She shares her mine. + +They hug. They are happy. They have a new mine. They have each other. They are not scared. They go home. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a swamp near their house. They want to explore it. + +"Look, Tom, there are frogs and bugs in the swamp!" Mia says. + +"Let's go closer and catch some!" Tom says. + +They walk to the swamp. They do not see the mud. They step in the mud and sink. They feel wet and cold and sticky. + +"Help! Help!" they cry. + +Mom hears them and runs to the swamp. She pulls them out of the mud. She is angry and worried. + +"What were you doing in the swamp? You could have been hurt!" she says. + +"We wanted to see the frogs and bugs, Mom. We are sorry. We were stupid," they say. + +Mom hugs them and takes them home. She gives them a bath and a snack. She tells them to never go to the swamp again. + +Tom and Mia feel sorry and ashamed. They promise to listen to Mom. They also feel glad that Mom loves them. They say thank you to Mom. They learn a lesson. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to run and jump and laugh. She was a healthy girl who had fun. + +One day, she saw a snake in the grass. It was long and green and shiny. Lily was curious. She wanted to touch it and see what it felt like. She did not know that the snake was bad. + +The snake saw Lily too. It did not like her. It wanted to be alone. It wanted to bite her and make her hurt. It was a mean snake who had no friends. + +Lily walked towards the snake. She said hello and smiled. She reached out her hand to pet it. The snake hissed and coiled. It was ready to strike. + +Lily's mom saw what was happening. She was scared. She shouted at Lily to stop and come back. She ran to the garden to save her. She knew that the snake was dangerous. + +Lily heard her mom. She turned around and saw her. She wondered why she was yelling. She did not understand. She ignored her mom and kept going to the snake. She thought it was nice. + +The snake attacked. It bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed. She felt a lot of pain. She dropped to the ground and cried. She wished she had listened to her mom. + +Lily's mom reached her. She saw the bite and the blood. She was angry and sad. She grabbed Lily and ran to the house. She called the doctor and the animal control. She hugged Lily and said sorry. She hoped she would be okay. + +The snake slithered away. It was glad that Lily was gone. It did not care that it had hurt her. It was a selfish snake who had no love. +Bella is a big dog with brown fur. She likes to run and play in the park with her friend Max, a small dog with black fur. They chase each other and bark and have fun. + +One day, Bella feels something itchy on her back. She tries to scratch it with her paw, but it does not help. She asks Max, "What is this on my back? It makes me itch a lot." + +Max looks at Bella's back and sees a tiny bug jumping on her fur. He says, "That is a flea. It is a bad bug that bites and makes you itch. You need to get rid of it." + +Bella says, "How do I get rid of it? It is too small and fast for me to catch." + +Max says, "You need to cover it with something so it cannot jump. Then you can shake it off or wash it off. I have an idea. Come with me." + +Max leads Bella to a pile of leaves that have fallen from the trees. He says, "Roll in these leaves. They will cover the flea and make it stop jumping." + +Bella does what Max says. She rolls in the leaves until she is covered with them. She feels the flea stop moving on her back. She says, "Thank you, Max. You are a good friend. The flea is gone now." + +Max says, "You are welcome, Bella. You are a good friend too. Now let's shake off these leaves and go play some more. You are a lively dog and I like to play with you." + +Bella and Max shake off the leaves and run to the park. They are happy and itch-free. They play until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and wag their tails. They look forward to seeing each other again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would try to catch the ball with their hands, but that was hard. + +A big man came to the park. He was bald and had no hair on his head. He looked angry and mean. He saw the ball and wanted to take it. He walked to Ben and Lily and said, "Give me the ball. It is mine now." + +Ben and Lily were scared of the big man. They did not want to give him their ball. They said, "No, this is our ball. We are playing with it. Go away." + +The big man did not listen. He grabbed the ball from Lily's hands and ran away. Lily started to cry. Ben was very mad. He screamed, "Hey, that is not fair. Give us back our ball. You are a bad man." + +The big man did not stop. He ran to his car and threw the ball inside. He got in the car and drove away. Ben and Lily ran after him, but they were too slow. They could not catch him. + +Ben and Lily were very sad. They had lost their ball. They hugged each other and walked back to the park. The park was quiet and empty. There was only silence. They wished they had their ball back. They missed their ball. +Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many oranges on it. They wanted to pick some oranges to eat. + +"Look, Mia, there is a big orange up there. I want it!" Sam said. + +He climbed the tree and reached for the orange. But the orange was too high. He stretched his arm and tried to grab it. + +"Be careful, Sam, you might fall!" Mia said. + +But Sam did not listen. He pulled the orange hard. The orange came off the branch, but Sam lost his balance. He dropped the orange and fell to the ground. + +"Ouch!" Sam cried. He hurt his knee and his elbow. + +Mia ran to him and hugged him. She saw the orange on the grass. She picked it up and gave it to Sam. + +"Here, Sam, you can have the orange. Are you okay?" Mia asked. + +Sam nodded. He smiled and thanked Mia. He peeled the orange and shared it with Mia. They ate the orange and felt better. + +But then they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a fierce lion coming out of the bushes. The lion was hungry and angry. It saw Sam and Mia and wanted to eat them. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Sam shouted. + +They dropped the orange peel and ran as fast as they could. They reached the gate of the park and ran out. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They ran to them and told them what happened. + +"Wow, that was a scary adventure!" Mom said. + +She hugged Sam and Mia and checked their wounds. She put some bandages on them and kissed them. + +"Dad, can we go home now?" Sam asked. + +"Of course, my brave kids. Let's go home and have some cookies and milk," Dad said. + +He picked up Sam and Mia and carried them to the car. They drove away from the park and the lion. They were safe and happy. They learned a lesson: never climb a tree to pick an orange when there is a fierce lion nearby. +Ben likes to play with his toy train. He makes it go fast and slow, and makes noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. He has a lot of fun with his train, but sometimes he gets bored and wants to do something else. + +One day, he sees a shiny thing on the table. It is a scale. His mom uses it to weigh things, like fruits and vegetables. Ben is curious. He wants to see how much his train weighs. He picks up the scale and puts it on the floor. He puts his train on the scale and looks at the numbers. He does not know what they mean, but he thinks they are interesting. + +He tries to weigh other things, like his books, his ball, and his teddy bear. He likes to see the numbers change. He does not notice that his mom is watching him from the kitchen. She smiles and shakes her head. She knows that Ben is restless and likes to explore. She also knows that the scale is not a toy, and that it can break easily. + +She decides to let him play for a few more minutes, and then she will tell him to put the scale back on the table. She hopes that he will not lie to her and say that he did not touch it. She wants him to be honest and careful. She thinks of a way to reward him for being a good boy. + +She goes to the fridge and takes out a chocolate cake. She cuts a slice and puts it on a plate. She sprinkles some colorful sprinkles on top. She thinks that Ben will love it. She walks to the living room, where Ben is still playing with the scale. + +She says, "Ben, what are you doing with the scale?" + +Ben looks up and sees the cake. He smiles and says, "I was just weighing my train, mom. I'm sorry, I know it's not a toy. Can I have some cake, please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can have some cake, Ben. You are a good boy for telling me the truth. But first, you have to put the scale back on the table, and clean up your toys. Okay?" + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. Thank you for the cake. It looks yummy." + +He puts the scale back on the table, and picks up his toys. He puts them in his toy box. He runs to the kitchen and hugs his mom. He says, "I love you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom hugs him back and says, "I love you too, Ben. You are the best too. Now, let's enjoy the cake together." + +They sit down and eat the cake. Ben thinks it is the best cake ever. He is happy and full. He forgets about the scale and the train. He just wants to cuddle with his mom and his teddy bear. He is not restless anymore. He is sleepy. He lies down on the couch and closes his eyes. Mom covers him with a blanket and kisses his forehead. She says, "Good night, Ben. Sweet dreams." + +The end. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the kitchen. She danced with her dolls, her dog, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, Lily wanted to dance in a fancy dress. She found a pink dress with flowers and ribbons in her mom's closet. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. She went to the kitchen to show her mom. + +But when she got to the kitchen, she saw a big mess. Her mom was making a cake, and there was butter, flour, eggs, and sugar everywhere. Her mom looked tired and angry. She did not see Lily. + +Lily tried to get her mom's attention. She said, "Mom, look at me! I'm dancing in a fancy dress!" But her mom did not hear her. She was busy with the cake. + +Lily felt sad and mad. She wanted her mom to see her and to dance with her. She stomped her feet and waved her arms. She made a loud noise. She knocked over a bowl of butter. + +The butter spilled on the floor and on Lily's fancy dress. It made a big stain. Lily gasped. Her mom turned around and saw her. She saw the butter, the dress, and Lily's face. She was not happy. + +She said, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess! You ruined my cake and your dress! You are not supposed to wear my clothes! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to dance with you. I just wanted you to see me. I like your dress. It's so fancy." + +Her mom sighed. She felt sorry for Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I know you like to dance. I know you wanted to show me your dress. But you have to ask me before you take my things. And you have to be careful in the kitchen. It's not a place to dance." + +She hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She said, "Let's clean up this mess together. Then we can make a new cake. And maybe later, we can dance in the garden. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Mom. I love you. And I love your dress. Can I wear it again?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Maybe. But only if you ask me first. And only if you don't spill butter on it." + +They laughed and cleaned up the kitchen. Then they made a new cake. And later, they danced in the garden. Lily wore her own dress, but she felt fancy anyway. She was happy. And so was her mom. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is deaf. He cannot hear anything. He is angry and barks at them. + +"Run, Tim, run!" Sam says. "The dog is bad. He wants to bite us!" + +Tim and Sam run away from the dog. They look for a place to hide. They see a big tree. They climb the tree. The dog cannot climb. He stays under the tree and barks. + +"Ha ha, we are safe!" Tim says. "The dog cannot get us!" + +But the dog does not give up. He jumps and tries to reach them. He scratches the tree with his claws. He makes a big hole in the tree. + +"Oh no, the dog is strong!" Sam says. "He will make the tree fall!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They look for a way to escape. They see a stick on the tree. The stick is long and strong. They break the stick from the tree. + +"Look, Sam, a stick!" Tim says. "We can use it to hit the dog!" + +Tim and Sam hold the stick together. They swing the stick at the dog. The dog is surprised. He feels the stick on his head. He yelps and runs away. + +"Yay, we did it!" Tim says. "We escaped from the dog!" + +Tim and Sam hug each other. They are happy and proud. They climb down the tree. They go back to their mom. They tell her their story. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Well done, Tim and Sam!" she says. "You are brave and smart!" + +Tim and Sam smile. They love their mom. They love to play in the park. But they do not like the big dog. They hope they never see him again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to go to school. She had many friends in her class and a nice teacher. Every day, she learned new things and played with toys and books. + +But one day, Lily was not happy. She had a bad cold and had to stay at home. She missed her class and felt bored. She wanted to have fun and do something. + +She saw her big brother Tom in his room. He was doing his homework on his desk. He had many papers and pens and books. He looked busy and serious. + +Lily thought Tom needed some help. She went into his room and said, "Hi, Tom. Can I play with you?" + +Tom looked at her and said, "No, Lily. I have to do my homework. It is very important. Please go away and don't disturb me." + +Lily did not listen. She climbed on his desk and grabbed his papers and pens and books. She threw them on the floor and made a big mess. She said, "Look, Tom. I made a picture for you. Do you like it?" + +Tom was very angry. He shouted, "Lily, what are you doing? You ruined my homework. You are very naughty. Go away and don't disturb me." + +Lily was scared and sad. She ran out of his room and cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted to play with you. I don't have anyone to play with. I miss my class and my teacher and my friends." + +Tom heard her and felt sorry. He realized he was too harsh on her. He finished his homework and cleaned his desk. Then he went to her room and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was too busy and rude. I know you are sick and bored. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. I want to play with you. Thank you for being nice to me." + +Tom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. You are my little sister." + +They played together and had fun. They forgot about their problems and were happy. +Ben liked to stretch in the morning. He felt his arms and legs get long and strong. He yawned and smiled. He wanted to have a good day. + +He went to the kitchen to find his mom. She was making breakfast. She had eggs, toast and juice. Ben loved juice. He said, "Mom, can I have some juice, please?" + +Mom said, "Sure, honey. Here you go." She poured some juice in a cup and gave it to Ben. Ben took the cup and said, "Thank you, mom." He was thirsty and happy. + +He drank the juice fast. He felt the juice go down his throat. He felt the juice in his tummy. He felt the juice make a bubble. He felt the bubble come up. He felt the bubble pop. He burped. + +He burped loud. He burped long. He burped like a lion. He was surprised. He was embarrassed. He looked at his mom. She looked at him. She laughed. She said, "Excuse you, Ben." + +Ben blushed. He said, "Excuse me, mom." He giggled. He said, "That was a big burp." Mom said, "Yes, it was. Next time, drink your juice slower, okay?" Ben said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry." Mom said, "It's okay, honey. I love you." She hugged him. He hugged her back. He felt warm and cozy. He said, "I love you too, mom." He was still embarrassed, but he was also happy. He had a good day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But today it was raining. The rain made the grass wet and the dirt soft. Ben and Lily did not like the rain. They wanted to go home. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Ben asked. He was cold and wet. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for Dad. He is coming soon." Mom said. She had an umbrella, but it was not big enough for all of them. + +Ben and Lily sighed. They looked around the park. They saw a big puddle of mud. It looked fun. They ran to the puddle and jumped in. The mud splashed on their clothes and faces. They laughed and made mud pies. + +"Look, Mom, we are making mud pies!" Lily shouted. She was happy. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She was not angry. She knew they were having fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud honk. It was Dad. He had arrived in his car. He parked near the park and got out. He saw Ben and Lily in the mud. He was surprised. + +"Wow, you guys are very dirty!" Dad said. He was not mad. He thought they were cute. + +"Hi, Dad, we are playing in the mud!" Ben said. He was proud. + +"Hi, Dad, we made mud pies for you!" Lily said. She was excited. + +Dad laughed and hugged them. He did not mind the mud. He loved them. + +"Come on, let's go home. We can have a bath and some hot chocolate." Dad said. He took Mom's umbrella and held it over them. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were tired and hungry. They followed Dad to the car. They were happy. They had a fun day in the park. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. + +Lily wanted to use the yellow blocks for her tower. She liked yellow because it was bright and happy. She saw that Ben had some yellow blocks in his pile. She asked him, "Can I have some yellow blocks, please?" + +Ben said, "No, these are mine. You have enough blocks. Go away." He did not want to share with Lily. He liked yellow too, and he wanted to keep all the yellow blocks for himself. + +Lily felt angry and sad. She said, "That's not fair. You have to share. Give me some yellow blocks, now!" She reached for the yellow blocks in Ben's pile. + +Ben did not like that. He pushed Lily's hand away. He said, "No, no, no! Go away, Lily!" He slapped Lily's face with his hand. + +Lily cried out loud. She felt pain and shock. She said, "Ow, ow, ow! That hurts! Why did you slap me, Ben? That's not nice. That's mean!" + +Ben felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. I was angry. I didn't want to slap you. Please don't cry." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sad and confused. They did not know what to do. Sharing was difficult. Slapping was bad. They wanted to be friends, but they also wanted the yellow blocks. They needed help. They called for their mom. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. They were having fun. + +But then, a thief came. He was a big man with a mean face. He saw the ball and wanted it. He ran to the ball and grabbed it. He laughed and said, "This is my ball now!" + +Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They shouted, "No, that is our ball! Give it back!" + +The thief did not listen. He turned around and ran away. He thought he was fast and smart. + +But he did not see the hole in the ground. He stepped in the hole and fell down. He dropped the ball and hurt his leg. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Anna and Ben saw what happened. They ran to the ball and picked it up. They were happy and relieved. They said, "Ha, ha, ha! That is what you get for being a thief!" + +They went back to playing with their ball. They were careful and watched out for other thieves. They were not anxious anymore. They were having fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls. Lily had a queen doll and Ben had a king doll. They made them talk to each other. + +"Hello, queen. You are very pretty," said the king doll. + +"Thank you, king. You are very brave," said the queen doll. + +They were having fun, but Lily wanted to improve her queen doll. She thought she could make her more beautiful. She took some scissors and cut her hair. She took some paint and colored her dress. She took some glue and stuck some feathers on her head. + +"Look, Ben. I improved my queen doll. She is more pretty now," said Lily. + +Ben looked at the queen doll. He did not like what Lily did. He thought she looked silly. He did not want to play with her anymore. + +"Lily, what did you do? You ruined your queen doll. She does not look pretty. She looks silly. I do not want to play with a silly queen," said Ben. + +Lily was sad. She did not think she ruined her queen doll. She thought she improved her. She did not understand why Ben did not like her. + +"Ben, I did not ruin her. I improved her. She is more pretty. Why do you not like her? She is not silly. She is still a queen," said Lily. + +Ben and Lily started to argue. They did not agree on the queen doll. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They took their dolls and went to different corners of the room. They were not happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the snow. But their mom said they had to wear coats. Tom had a red coat and Sam had a blue coat. + +One day, Tom had a bad idea. He wanted to send Sam's coat away. He thought it would be funny. He took Sam's coat and put it in a big box. He wrote a note on the box. The note said: "To the moon. From Sam." + +He asked a man to take the box to the post office. The man said yes. He did not know what was in the box. He put the box in his truck and drove away. + +Sam came outside and looked for his coat. He could not find it. He was cold and confused. He asked Tom: "Where is my coat?" + +Tom laughed and said: "I sent it to the moon. You can't have it back." + +Sam was very sad and angry. He started to cry. He ran to their mom and told her what Tom did. Their mom was very mad at Tom. She said: "That was a very mean thing to do. You have to say sorry to Sam and buy him a new coat." + +But Tom did not want to say sorry or buy a new coat. He said: "No, I don't. It was just a joke. Sam is silly." + +Their mom said: "No, you are silly. And you are in big trouble. You have to stay in your room for a long time. And you can't play outside or watch TV or have any fun." + +Tom did not like that. He felt sorry for himself. He wished he had not sent Sam's coat away. He wished he had been nice to his brother. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. And he had to pay for it. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"Hello, little ones. What flavor do you want?" the man in the truck said. + +"I want chocolate," Ben said. + +"I want strawberry," Mia said. + +The man gave them each a cone with ice cream. They paid him with some coins and said thank you. + +They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy. + +But then, a big dog came running to them. It barked and jumped and tried to get their ice cream. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. + +"Bad dog!" Mia cried. + +They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit Ben's cone and ate his chocolate ice cream. Ben dropped his cone and cried. + +Then, it bit Mia's cone and ate her strawberry ice cream. Mia dropped her cone and cried too. + +The dog licked its mouth and wagged its tail. It liked ice cream. + +The man in the truck saw what happened. He felt sorry for Ben and Mia. He got out of the truck and chased the dog away. + +"Are you okay, little ones?" he asked. + +"No, we are not okay," Ben said. "The dog ate our ice cream. It was our ice cream. We paid for it." + +"I know, I know. That was a naughty dog. And an ugly dog too. It had no manners," the man said. + +He realized that Ben and Mia were very sad. He wanted to make them happy again. + +He had an idea. He went back to the truck and got two new cones with ice cream. He gave them to Ben and Mia. + +"Here, take these. They are on me. You can have any flavor you want," he said. + +Ben and Mia looked at the cones. They saw that they had two scoops of ice cream each. One scoop was chocolate and one scoop was strawberry. + +They smiled and took the cones. They licked their ice cream and smiled more. It was cold and sweet and yummy. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they said to the man. + +"You are welcome, welcome, welcome!" the man said. "Enjoy your ice cream. And watch out for ugly dogs." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They held their cones and walked away. They were happy again. They had ice cream. And they had a friend. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys. Tom has a big rocket and Mia has a small planet. The planet is blue and shiny. Mia likes her planet very much. + +"Can I see your planet?" Tom asks Mia. + +"No, it is mine. You have your rocket," Mia says. + +"But I want to see it. It looks cool," Tom says. He tries to grab the planet from Mia's hand. + +"Stop it! Let go!" Mia shouts. She pulls the planet back. Tom and Mia start to fight over the planet. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom comes into the room. She sees Tom and Mia fighting. She is not happy. + +"Tom and Mia, stop fighting right now. You have to share your toys. Fighting is not nice," Mom says. + +"But Mom, she won't let me see her planet. It is not fair," Tom says. + +"But Mom, he wants to take my planet. It is mine," Mia says. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. + +"How about this? Mia, you can let Tom see your planet for a little bit. And Tom, you can let Mia play with your rocket for a little bit. Then you can switch back. How does that sound?" Mom says. + +Tom and Mia think about it. They nod. + +"Okay, Mom. We can try that," Tom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We can try that," Mia says. + +Mom smiles. She helps Tom and Mia to release their toys and swap them. Tom holds the blue planet and Mia holds the big rocket. They look at each other's toys. They smile. + +"Wow, your planet is really cool. It is so blue and shiny," Tom says. + +"Wow, your rocket is really cool. It is so big and fast," Mia says. + +They play with each other's toys for a while. They have fun. They are not fighting anymore. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She watches them play. She is proud of them. They have learned to share. +Lila was a girl who liked to help her mom in the garden. She learned the names of many herbs, like mint, rosemary, and basil. She liked to smell them and taste them, and sometimes she made tea with them. + +One day, a big bird came to the garden. It had shiny feathers and a long beak. It saw the herbs and wanted to eat them. It flew down and started to peck at the mint. Lila saw the bird and ran to the garden. She shouted, "Go away, bird! These are our herbs, not yours!" + +The bird looked at Lila and said, "Who are you to tell me what to do? I am a wise bird, and I know many things. I can answer any question you ask me. If you want me to leave, you have to ask me a hard question that I cannot answer." + +Lila thought for a moment. She remembered what her mom had told her about herbs. She said, "Okay, bird, I have a question for you. What herb is good for a sore throat, a headache, and a stomach ache?" + +The bird thought for a moment. It tried to remember what it had heard from other birds, or seen in books, or smelled in the air. But it could not think of any herb that could help with all those problems. It said, "I don't know. That is a hard question. You are a smart girl, and you know more about herbs than I do." + +Lila smiled and said, "The answer is ginger. Ginger is a good herb for a sore throat, a headache, and a stomach ache. My mom taught me that. Now you have to leave, bird, and let our herbs grow." + +The bird nodded and said, "You are right, ginger is a good herb. I am sorry for trying to eat your herbs. You have taught me something new today. I will leave now, and I will not come back. Goodbye, Lila, and thank you for being kind and wise." + +The bird flew away, and Lila went back to her mom. She told her what had happened, and her mom hugged her and said, "I am proud of you, Lila. You have used your words and your knowledge to solve a problem. You are a good helper and a good gardener." Lila felt happy and said, "I love you, mom. And I love our herbs." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play and sing. One day, they see a big poster. It says: Singing Contest. Win a prize! + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom says. "We can sing a funny song and win!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily says. "But what song can we sing?" + +They think and think. Then they remember a song they learned at school. It is about a monkey and a banana. They practice the song. They make funny faces and sounds. + +The next day, they go to the contest. There are many children. They all sing different songs. Some songs are sad. Some songs are happy. Some songs are loud. Some songs are soft. + +Tom and Lily wait for their turn. They are a little scared. But they are also excited. They hold hands and go on the stage. They see the judges and the audience. They smile and say hello. + +Then they start to sing. They sing the funny song about the monkey and the banana. They make the audience laugh. They make the judges smile. They have fun. + +When they finish, they hear a big clap. The audience and the judges clap for them. They are happy. They bow and say thank you. + +The judges announce the winner. They say: "The winner is...Tom and Lily! They sang a funny song and made us all happy. They win a prize!" + +Tom and Lily are very happy. They hug each other. They get their prize. It is a big basket of bananas. They laugh and say: "This is the best prize ever! We love bananas!" + +They share the bananas with their friends. They eat and sing. They have a great day. They are happy. They are winners. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They did not like to wear shoes or gloves. They liked to feel the dirt on their hands and feet. + +"Look, I made a big pie!" Anna said, showing Ben her mud creation. + +"Wow, that's great!" Ben said. "Can I have a bite?" + +He pretended to eat the pie, making Anna giggle. + +They heard their mom calling them from the house. "Anna! Ben! Time to come in and get ready for dinner!" + +They looked at each other and panicked. They were filthy. They had mud on their faces, hair, clothes, and nails. They knew their mom would be angry and give them a lecture. + +"Quick, let's go to the hose and wash off!" Anna said. + +They ran to the hose and turned it on. They sprayed each other with water, trying to get rid of the mud. They laughed and splashed, but they did not notice that they were making a bigger mess. + +Their mom came out and saw them. She was not happy. She turned off the hose and took them by the hand. + +"Anna and Ben, what have you done?" she asked. "You are soaking wet and still dirty. And look at the garden, it's a swamp! How many times have I told you to be careful and clean when you play outside?" + +She took them inside and gave them a lecture. She told them to take off their clothes and go to the bath. She said they would have to clean the garden tomorrow. She said they were in trouble. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make their mom mad. They liked to play in the garden, but they did not like to get a lecture. They wished they had listened to their mom and stayed clean. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big snowman in their yard. It had a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They wanted to say hello to the snowman. + +"Hi, snowman!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The snowman did not answer. He just stood there, looking cold and sad. + +"Maybe he is lonely," Lily said. "Let's unite him with his friends." + +They looked around and saw some other snowmen in the street. They had hats, scarves, and carrot noses too. Ben and Lily decided to roll the snowman to join them. + +They pushed and pulled the snowman with all their strength. It was hard work, but they did not give up. They wanted to make the snowman happy. + +They reached the other snowmen and put their snowman next to them. They smiled and waved at the snowmen. + +"Hello, snowmen!" Lily said. "We brought you a friend. Now you can play together." + +The snowmen did not answer. They just stood there, looking cold and sad. + +Ben and Lily felt confused. They thought the snowmen would be happy to unite. They wondered what was wrong. + +Then they saw the sun shining in the sky. It was very bright and hot. The snowmen started to melt. They lost their hats, scarves, and carrot noses. They became smaller and smaller. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They liked the snowmen. They did not want them to go away. + +They ran to their snowman and hugged him. They tried to keep him warm. + +"Don't worry, snowman," Ben said. "We will always be your friends. We love you." + +The snowman did not answer. He just felt warm and happy. He smiled at Ben and Lily. He was glad to unite with them. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. Sometimes they also liked to sit on the bench and watch the birds and the flowers. + +One day, they saw an elderly lady on the bench. She had a big bag of bread and she was feeding the birds. Tom and Anna wanted to feed the birds too. They ran to the lady and asked her for some bread. + +"Please, can we have some bread?" they said. + +The lady smiled and gave them each a piece of bread. Tom and Anna thanked her and threw the bread to the birds. The birds came closer and ate the bread. Tom and Anna were happy. + +But then, the bread was gone. The lady had no more bread in her bag. Tom and Anna wanted more bread. They asked the lady again. + +"Please, can we have more bread?" they said. + +The lady shook her head and said, "No, I'm sorry. The bread is all gone. You have to end now." + +Tom and Anna were not happy. They did not want to end. They wanted more bread. They started to cry and whine. + +"More bread, more bread!" they said. + +The lady was not happy either. She did not like the noise and the fuss. She wanted to enjoy the park and the birds. She said, "Stop it, stop it! You are being rude and greedy. You have to share and be polite. Go away and leave me alone." + +Tom and Anna were scared and sad. They did not like the lady's words and tone. They ran away from the bench and from the park. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to go home. +Sara was a little girl who loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and twirl in her pink dress. She felt very graceful and happy when she danced. + +One day, she saw a pig in the farm next to her house. The pig was big and round and dirty. He was eating some corn and making loud noises. Sara thought he was very funny and wanted to play with him. + +She ran to the fence and called out, "Hello, pig! Do you want to join me and dance?" + +The pig looked up and snorted. He said, "No, thank you. I don't like to dance. I like to eat and sleep and roll in the mud. Dancing is silly and hard and not for pigs." + +Sara felt sad and hurt. She said, "But dancing is fun and easy and for everyone. You can be graceful and happy too, if you try. Please, join me and dance." + +The pig shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I don't want to join you and dance. Go away and leave me alone. You are a silly and rude girl." + +Sara felt angry and cried. She ran away and told her mother what happened. Her mother hugged her and said, "Don't mind the pig, Sara. He is a grumpy and stubborn animal. He doesn't know how to be kind and friendly. You are a sweet and brave girl. You tried to share your joy and invite him to join you. That was very nice of you. But not everyone will appreciate your offer. Some people will say no and be mean. That's okay. You can still dance and be graceful and happy. And you can still find other friends who will join you and dance with you." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mommy. You are right. I will not let the pig make me sad. I will dance and be graceful and happy. And I will find other friends who will join me and dance with me." + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and generous, but don't let others' rejection and rudeness affect your happiness. Keep doing what you love and find friends who share your passion. +Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's go to the attic!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some toys or books there." + +"OK, but we have to be quiet," Anna said. "Mom and Dad are working in their room." + +They climbed the stairs to the attic. It was dark and dusty. They saw some boxes and bags. They opened them and looked inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He held up a toy car. "It has wheels and lights and sounds. Can I play with it?" + +"Sure, but be careful," Anna said. She found a doll. "She has a dress and a hat and shoes. Can I play with her?" + +"Sure, but be gentle," Ben said. + +They played with their new toys for a while. They made up stories and noises. They had fun. + +But then they heard a growl. They looked around. They saw a big, black cat. It had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It was hungry. It wanted to eat them. + +"Help!" Anna screamed. "There's a cat!" + +"Run!" Ben shouted. "It's going to get us!" + +They dropped their toys and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They tried to open it, but they couldn't. They were trapped. + +"Mom! Dad!" they cried. "We're in the attic! There's a cat!" + +But Mom and Dad didn't hear them. They were busy with their work. They didn't know that Anna and Ben were in the attic. They didn't know that they were in danger. + +The cat moved closer. It hissed and snarled. It was ready to pounce. + +Anna and Ben hugged each other. They were scared. They wished they had never gone to the attic. They wished they had something to supply the cat with. Maybe then it would leave them alone. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with blocks, dolls and cars. They shared their snacks and their secrets. They always had fun together. + +One day, Tom found a new toy. It was a big red marker. He wanted to draw with it. He did not ask Lily if she wanted to play too. He did not share his marker. He drew on the walls, the floor and the table. He made a big mess. + +Lily saw what Tom was doing. She was sad and angry. She did not like the marker. She did not like the mess. She did not like Tom. She said, "Tom, you are bad. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Tom was shocked. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted to have fun. He looked at his marker. He looked at his mess. He looked at Lily. He felt sorry. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. Please be my friend. Please don't go." + +But Lily did not listen. She took her blocks, her dolls and her cars. She left Tom alone. She did not look back. + +Tom was lonely. He had no one to play with. He had no one to talk to. He had no one to share with. He had no one to have fun with. He had only his marker and his mess. He regretted what he did. He wished he could say sorry to Lily. He wished he could be her friend again. He wished he could make things right. But he did not know how. He did not know where Lily was. He did not know if she would ever come back. He cried. He cried a lot. +Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They have a lot of toys and they make a lot of noise. They hear Mom coming from the living room. + +"Uh-oh, Mom is here!" Sara says. "We have to clean up!" + +But Tom does not want to clean up. He likes the messy kitchen. He says, "No, I want to play more!" + +Mom opens the door and sees the toys everywhere. She is not happy. She says, "What is this? You made a big mess! You have to help me clean up now!" + +She gives Sara and Tom a mop and a bucket. Sara takes the mop and starts to wipe the floor. Tom does not take the mop. He throws the bucket on the floor and splashes water everywhere. + +"Tom, stop that!" Mom says. "You are making it worse!" + +Sara is mad at Tom. She says, "Tom, you are bad! You have to help Mom and me!" + +Tom does not listen. He runs away and hides under the table. Mom and Sara have to clean up the whole kitchen by themselves. They are tired and sad. Tom is alone and bored. He wishes he had helped them. He feels sorry. +Sara and Ben like to play on the swings. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. They are happy. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He is mean and rude. He pushes Sara and Ben off the swings. He says, "These are my swings. Go away, you weird kids." + +Sara and Ben are scared and sad. They run away from the big boy. They look for a new place to play. They see a big slide. They think it looks fun. + +They climb up the ladder. They wait for their turn. Sara goes first. She slides down fast and smooth. She smiles and says, "That was fun, Ben. Come on, try it." + +Ben nods. He sits on the slide. He pushes himself down. But he slides too fast. He loses his balance. He falls off the slide. He hits his head on the ground. He cries out loud. + +Sara runs to him. She sees blood on his head. She is scared and worried. She says, "Ben, are you okay? Ben, talk to me." + +But Ben does not talk. He does not move. He does not open his eyes. His brain is hurt. He is gone. + +Sara screams and cries. She hugs Ben. She says, "Ben, please wake up. Ben, I love you." + +But Ben does not wake up. He does not hear her. He does not love her back. + +The end. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They had a big saw that they used to cut wood. They liked to make things with the wood, like houses and boats and cars. They were very happy. + +But then, their mom called them. She said it was time to leave. They had to go to the store with her. Ben and Mia did not want to go. They wanted to play more with the saw and the wood. They said no to their mom. + +Their mom was not happy. She said they had to go now. She said she had a surprise for them. She said it was something delicious. Ben and Mia were curious. They liked delicious things. They wondered what it was. + +They decided to go with their mom. They put the saw and the wood away. They got in the car. They drove to the store. Their mom bought some things. Then, she took them to a bakery. She said the surprise was inside. + +Ben and Mia went inside the bakery. They saw many cakes and cookies and pies. They smelled very good. Their mom said they could choose one thing each. Ben and Mia were very happy. They thanked their mom. They chose their favorite things. Ben chose a chocolate cake. Mia chose a strawberry pie. They ate them. They were delicious. Ben and Mia smiled. They said it was the best surprise ever. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play games. One night, they play a game of hide and seek. Tim is the seeker and Sam is the hider. Tim counts to ten and then looks for Sam. + +He hears a noise in the kitchen. He thinks Sam is hiding there. He goes to the kitchen and sees a big white thing. It is a ghost! The ghost is eating a cake. Tim is scared and runs away. + +"Help! Help! There is a ghost in the kitchen!" Tim shouts. + +Sam hears Tim and comes out of his hiding place. He is in the living room. He sees Tim running and crying. He asks him what is wrong. + +"Sam, there is a ghost in the kitchen! It is eating a cake! It is dead but it can eat!" Tim says. + +Sam does not believe Tim. He thinks Tim is lying. He wants to see the ghost. He goes to the kitchen and looks. He sees the big white thing. It is not a ghost. It is their dad. He is wearing a sheet. He is playing a trick on them. He is eating a cake. + +"Boo!" Dad says. + +Sam laughs. He knows it is a joke. He is not scared. He joins Dad and eats some cake. + +"Tim, come here! It is not a ghost.

I was playing a game. I did not know you would be so scared. Do you forgive me?" Dad says. + +Tim looks at Dad. He sees his face. He knows it is his dad. He is not a ghost. He is not dead. He is alive. He loves him. He forgives him. + +"Yes, Dad, I forgive you. I love you too. But please do not be a ghost again. It is not fun. It is scary." Tim says. + +Dad smiles.

They are a family. +Lily loved her doll very much. She gave her doll a name, Anna, and played with her every day. She dressed her doll in pretty clothes, combed her hair, and sang to her. Lily and Anna were best friends. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with Lily's mom. They saw a big pile of sand and decided to play there. Lily had a brilliant idea. She said to Anna, "Let's bury you in the sand and then I will find you. It will be fun!" Anna nodded and smiled. Lily dug a hole in the sand and put Anna inside. She covered her with sand and said, "Don't worry, I will be back soon." + +Lily ran to the swings and asked her mom to push her. She forgot about Anna for a while. She was having so much fun. She swung high and low, laughed and shouted. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. + +Then she heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck came to the pile of sand and started to move it. Lily saw the truck and remembered Anna. She screamed, "Anna! Anna! My doll is in the sand!" She jumped off the swing and ran to the truck. She tried to stop it, but it was too late. The truck had taken away the sand and Anna with it. + +Lily cried and cried. She was very sad and angry. She said to her mom, "Why did they take Anna? She was my friend. I want her back!" Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know you buried your doll in the sand. The truck was doing its job. It had to move the sand to another place. Maybe we can find another doll for you. A new friend." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I don't want another doll. I want Anna. She was brilliant. She was the best doll ever." She sobbed and sobbed. She missed Anna very much. She wished she had never buried her in the sand. She wished she had stayed with her and played with her. She wished she had told her how much she loved her. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer. They want to be on the same team. They dream of winning the big game. + +One day, they see a poster. It says: "Soccer Tryouts. Join the Wealthy Wolves. The best team in town." Anna and Ben are excited. They want to be Wealthy Wolves. + +They go to the tryouts. They see many kids. Some kids are big and fast. Some kids have nice shoes and clothes. Anna and Ben feel small and poor. + +The coach is a man. He has a loud voice. He says: "Welcome to the tryouts. I am looking for the best players. Only the best will join the Wealthy Wolves. Show me what you can do." + +Anna and Ben try their best. They run and kick and pass. But the coach does not look at them. He looks at the big and fast kids. He looks at the kids with nice shoes and clothes. He says: "You, you, and you. You are on the team. The rest of you, go home." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They did not make the team. They walk home together. They hold hands. They say: "We are still friends. We are still a team. We do not need to be Wealthy Wolves. We have each other. We can still dream of winning the big game." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many nuts on it.

We can find other nuts or other food. But we can't find another friend like you. You are original too." + +They walked away from the tree and the squirrel.

She asked her mom, "Where is Spot?" + +Her mom said, "Spot is outside. He had a fight with a big dog and got hurt. He is laying on the grass, waiting for the vet to come." + +Anna ran outside and saw Spot. He was laying on his side, with blood on his fur. He looked very helpless and sad. Anna felt scared and sad too. She knelt down next to Spot and stroked his head. She said, "Don't worry, Spot. The vet will make you better. I love you, Spot. You are my best friend." + +Spot opened his eyes and licked Anna's hand. He tried to meow, but it was very weak. He was happy to see Anna, but he was in a lot of pain. He wanted the vet to come soon. + +Anna stayed with Spot until the vet arrived. The vet was a nice lady who had a big bag of tools. She examined Spot and said, "Spot has a bad bite on his leg, but he will be okay. I will give him some medicine and a bandage. He will need to rest for a few days, but he will heal." + +Anna was relieved and thanked the vet. She helped the vet carry Spot inside the house and put him on a soft blanket. She gave him some water and some food. She said, "You are very brave, Spot. I am proud of you. I will take good care of you until you are well." + +Spot snuggled up to Anna and purred.

They missed him a lot. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that paper animals are not the same as real animals. They learned that paper animals can be easily broken.

They learned that Spot was still their friend. They learned that they still had each other. They learned that they could make new paper animals. They learned that they could still have fun. They learned that they could still be happy. +Tom and Mia like to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals there. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and more.
