But as he played, he couldn't help but feel bad for the girl. + +So, he went back over to her and asked her if she wanted to play with him. The girl smiled and said yes. They played together and had lots of fun.

They had never seen them before. Their mom and dad said they were very pretty and loud. + +They put on their warm coats and hats and went outside with their mom and dad. They saw many people and cars on the street. They held their mom and dad's hands and walked to the park. They heard some noises like bangs and pops. + +"Are those the fireworks?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. Those are just some firecrackers. The fireworks will start soon. They will be much bigger and brighter," mom said. + +Lily and Ben saw a big field with a lot of grass. They saw some people sitting on blankets and chairs.

They dreamed of fireworks. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big wardrobe where they kept their clothes. Sometimes they liked to pretend that the wardrobe was a magic door to another world, like in their favorite story. + +One day, they decided to play a trick on their mom. They hid inside the wardrobe and waited for her to come and look for them. They thought it would be funny to see her face when they jumped out and said "boo!" + +But their mom did not come. They waited and waited, but they only heard noises from downstairs. They started to feel bored and hungry. They wondered what their mom was doing. + +"Maybe she forgot about us," Ben said. + +"Maybe she is making cookies," Lily said. + +"Let's go and see," Ben said. He opened the wardrobe door and peeked outside. He saw their mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. She looked very calm and happy. + +"Mom!" Ben shouted. He ran to her and hugged her. Lily followed him. + +"Hi, sweeties," their mom said. "Did you have fun in your room?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt silly and ashamed. They realized that their mom knew they were hiding in the wardrobe all along. She had seen them go inside and decided to let them play their game. + +"We're sorry, mom," Ben said. + +"We wanted to scare you," Lily said. + +Their mom smiled and kissed them. "It's okay, my loves. I'm not scared of you. You're not very good at hiding. Next time, try to find a better place than the wardrobe. It's too obvious." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They thought that hiding in the wardrobe was a stupid idea. They decided to play something else. Maybe they could help their mom make cookies. That would be more fun. +Tom and Sue are busy. They are playing doctor and patient. Tom has a white coat and a stethoscope. Sue has a red scarf and a cough. + +"Hello, Sue. I am Doctor Tom. What is wrong?" Tom asks. + +"I have a bad cough, Doctor Tom. It hurts here." Sue points to her chest. + +"Let me listen to your lung, Sue. You have to breathe in and out." Tom puts the stethoscope on Sue's chest and listens. + +"Your lung sounds funny, Sue. You have a cold. You need to drink water and rest." Tom says. + +"Can you give me some medicine, Doctor Tom?" Sue asks. + +"Sure, Sue. I have some candy. It is good for your throat. But you have to promise me something." Tom says. + +"What do I have to promise, Doctor Tom?" Sue asks. + +"You have to promise to put on your coat and hat when you go outside. It is cold and windy. You don't want to get more sick." Tom says. + +"OK, Doctor Tom. I promise. Thank you for the candy and for helping me." Sue says. + +"You're welcome, Sue. You are a good patient. Now, let's go and play something else. How about we play with the blocks?" Tom says. + +"OK, Doctor Tom. I like blocks. Let's go and build a house." Sue says. + +Tom and Sue put away the doctor toys and go to the block corner. They are busy and happy. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily wanted to play in the dark. They took a flashlight from the kitchen and went to the basement. They turned off the light and closed the door. It was very dark and quiet. + +"Let's pretend we are famous explorers," Ben said. "We are looking for treasure in a cave." + +"OK," Lily said. "But where is the treasure?" + +Ben pointed the flashlight at a corner. "Maybe there," he said. "Let's go and see." + +They walked slowly to the corner, holding hands. They saw a big box covered with a cloth. Ben pulled the cloth and opened the box. Inside, there were many shiny things. + +"Wow," Lily said. "Look at all the jewels and coins. We are rich!" + +Ben smiled. "We are the best explorers ever," he said. He picked up a necklace and put it around Lily's neck. "You are a princess now," he said. + +Lily giggled. "And you are a king," she said. She picked up a crown and put it on Ben's head. + +They played with the treasure for a while, pretending to be famous and happy. They did not hear the door open and someone coming down the stairs. + +"Ben? Lily? Where are you?" It was Mom. She turned on the light and saw them in the corner. + +"Mom!" Ben and Lily said. They dropped the treasure and ran to her. They hugged her and kissed her. + +"What are you doing here?" Mom asked. "You scared me. I was looking for you everywhere." + +"We were playing in the dark," Ben said. "We found a treasure." + +Mom looked at the box. She smiled. "That's not a treasure, silly. That's Dad's old stuff. He was going to donate it to the charity." + +Ben and Lily looked at the box again. They saw that the jewels and coins were fake and old. They felt a little sad. + +"But we had fun," Lily said. "We were famous explorers." + +Mom hugged them. "You are always famous to me," she said. "But now it's time to go upstairs. It's almost dinner time." + +"OK," Ben and Lily said. They followed Mom to the door. They took the flashlight with them. They still liked to play in the dark. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big crane near the park. The crane was very tall and could move things with a long arm. + +"Wow, look at the crane!" Ben said. "It can lift cars and trees and houses!" + +"I want to see the crane up close!" Lily said. "Let's go and touch it!" + +But Ben was scared. He saw a sign that said "Keep out. Danger." He knew that the crane was not for playing. + +"No, Lily, we can't go there. The crane is not safe. It can hurt us. We have to stay in the park." Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the crane and tried to climb it. She wanted to see how high it was. She did not see the man who was driving the crane. He did not see her either. + +Suddenly, the crane moved. It swung its arm and lifted a big metal beam. Lily was on the arm. She screamed and held on tight. She was very scared. + +"Help! Help!" Lily cried. + +Ben heard her and ran to the crane. He saw Lily hanging from the arm. He was very worried. + +"Stop! Stop!" Ben shouted to the man. "There is a girl on the arm!" + +The man heard Ben and stopped the crane. He saw Lily and was shocked. He lowered the arm and helped Lily down. He was angry and scared. + +"What are you doing here? This is not a place for children. You could have been killed. You are very lucky. Go back to the park and don't come here again." The man said. + +Lily was sorry and ashamed. She hugged Ben and said "Thank you for saving me. You are a good friend. I was wrong to go to the crane. It was not fun. It was dangerous. I will never do that again." + +Ben and Lily went back to the park. They played in the safe and fun place. They learned that they should not go to places where they are not allowed. They should listen to signs and friends who care for them. They should be careful and smart. +Lisa likes to organize her toys. She has a box for her dolls, a box for her cars, and a box for her books. She puts each toy in the right box.

"Mom, look at this book. It has poems. What are poems?" she asks. + +"Poems are words that make pictures in your mind. Poems can tell stories, or feelings, or jokes, or anything you want. Poems are fun to read and to write," her mom says. + +"Can I write a poem?" Lisa asks. + +"Sure, you can. You can use any words you like. You can write them on a paper, or on a card, or on a chalkboard. You can organize them in any way you want. You can make them long, or short, or in the middle. You can make them rhyme, or not. You can make them silly, or serious, or in the middle. You can make them your own," her mom says. + +Lisa thinks for a moment. Then she takes a paper and a crayon. She writes her first poem. She shows it to her mom. It says: + +I like to organize +My toys in a box +I like to read poems +They are like a fox +They are clever and quick +They make me smile +I like to write poems +They are my style + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. "That is a wonderful poem, Lisa. You are very organized and creative. I am proud of you," her mom says. + +Lisa feels happy. She likes to organize and she likes to write poems.

It is red and shiny and makes a zoom sound when he pushes it. He plays with it every day in his room, on the floor, on the bed, on the table. He rubs it with a cloth to keep it clean and tells it stories. + +One day, his mom says they have to go to the store. She tells him to bring his toy car if he wants. Sam is happy.

He tries to take the blue car from Sam. Sam holds on tight. He does not want to give it up. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" his mom says. She comes over and sees the two boys fighting. She is not happy. She takes the blue car from Sam and gives it back to the other boy. She says sorry to him and his mom. She tells Sam to say sorry too. Sam does not want to say sorry. He wants the blue car. + +"Sam, you have your own toy car. Remember? The one you love so much. The one you rub and talk to. The one that is loyal to you. Where is it?" his mom says. She looks in his pocket and sees nothing. She looks around and sees the bin of toys. She sees a red and shiny car that looks like Sam's. She picks it up and shows it to Sam. + +"Is this yours?" she says. + +Sam looks at the red car. He feels sad. He remembers how much he loves his toy car. He remembers how he plays with it every day.

Lily wanted to read the words, but Tom wanted to kick the board. + +"Let me read, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe the board is important." + +"No, it is not!" Tom said. "It is just a board. I want to kick it. It is fun!" + +Tom kicked the board hard. The board broke into many pieces. Lily and Tom heard a loud noise. They saw a man running towards them. He looked angry and sad. + +"That was my board!" the man said. "It was fragile. It was for my art show. You broke it. You ruined it. Why did you do that?" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not know the board was fragile. They did not know the board was for art. They thought it was just a board. + +"We are sorry, sir," Lily said. "We did not mean to break your board. We did not know it was your board. We were just playing." + +The man sighed. He saw that Lily and Tom were young and did not understand. He decided to forgive them. + +"It is okay, kids," the man said. "But you should be careful. You should not kick things that are not yours. You should not kick things that are fragile. You should respect other people's things. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned a lesson. They said sorry again and helped the man pick up the pieces. They promised to never kick boards again. They also promised to learn more words and appreciate art. +Lila wanted a puppy for her birthday. She asked her mom and dad many times. She said, "Please, please, please, can I have a puppy? I will love it and feed it and play with it." But her mom and dad said, "No, Lila, you are too young for a puppy. Puppies are a lot of work. They need a big yard and a lot of training. Maybe when you are older, you can have a puppy." + +Lila was sad and angry. She did not think it was fair. She loved animals and she was gifted. She could read and write and count and draw. She was sure she could take care of a puppy. She decided to make a plan. She would find a puppy and bring it home and hide it in her room. Then her mom and dad would see how cute and smart and friendly the puppy was and they would let her keep it. + +The next day, Lila went to the park with her friend Ben. Ben had a puppy named Spot. Spot was black and white and had floppy ears and a wagging tail. Lila loved Spot and Spot loved Lila. They played fetch and tug and chase. Lila asked Ben, "Can I borrow Spot for a little while? I want to show him something in my house." Ben said, "Sure, Lila, but you have to bring him back soon. He is my puppy and I miss him when he is gone." + +Lila took Spot and ran to her house. She sneaked him into her room and closed the door. She gave him some water and some crackers and some toys. She hugged him and kissed him and said, "You are my puppy now. I will call you Lucky. You are the best birthday present ever." Spot licked her face and wagged his tail. He liked Lila, but he also missed Ben and his home. + +Lila's mom and dad came home from work. They heard a strange noise in Lila's room. They knocked on the door and said, "Lila, what are you doing in there? Can we come in?" Lila said, "No, mom and dad, you can't come in. I have a surprise for you. You have to wait until tomorrow." Lila's mom and dad were curious and worried. They said, "Lila, please open the door. We want to see what you have in there." Lila said, "No, mom and dad, you can't see it. It is mine and I love it." Lila's mom and dad were puzzled and annoyed. They said, "Lila, don't be rude. You have to share with us. We are your family." Lila said, "No, mom and dad, you are not my family. You are mean and you don't love me. You don't let me have a puppy. But I have a puppy now and he is my family. His name is Lucky and he is gifted. He can do tricks and he can talk. He says he loves me and he wants to stay with me forever." Lila's mom and dad were shocked and angry. They said, "Lila, that is not true. You are lying and you are stealing. You can't have a puppy without our permission. You have to give him back to his owner. He is not your puppy and he is not your gift. He is Ben's puppy and he is Ben's friend. You are being selfish and you are hurting Ben and Spot. You have to open the door and let us in. You have to say sorry and you have to return Spot to Ben. That is the right thing to do." Lila said, "No, mom and dad, I won't do that. I won't open the door and I won't say sorry and I won't return Spot to Ben. I refuse to do that. I refuse to listen to you. I refuse to obey you. I refuse to love you. You are not my mom and dad anymore. Lucky is my mom and dad now. He is the only one who understands me and who makes me happy. Go away and leave me alone." Lila's mom and dad were sad and hurt. They did not know what to do. They did not know how to make Lila see her mistake. They did not know how to make Lila love them again. They did not know how to make Lila happy again. +Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play with their scooters in the park. Mia had a pink scooter with stickers and a bell. Leo had a blue scooter with lights and a horn. They had fun racing and making noise. + +One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a fancy scooter. It was shiny and had big wheels and a basket. She wore a pretty dress and a hat. She looked very proud of her scooter. + +"Hello, can we play with you?" Mia asked the new girl. + +"No, you can't. My scooter is too fancy for you. Your scooters are old and boring. Go away!" the new girl said. She was very rude. + +Mia and Leo felt sad and angry. They did not like the new girl. They wanted to teach her a lesson. + +They waited until the new girl left her scooter on the grass and went to the swings. Then they ran to her scooter and spread mud all over it. They also put some grass and leaves in the basket. They giggled and ran away. + +When the new girl came back, she saw her scooter and screamed. She was very upset. She cried and ran to her mom. + +Mia and Leo felt a little sorry for the new girl. But they also felt happy. They had shown her that being fancy was not important. Being nice and friendly was. They hugged and rode their scooters together. They hoped the new girl would learn to be nicer too. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They make a lot of noise and pretend to race and crash. Mia has a red car and Ben has a blue car. + +"Look, Mia, I can go faster than you!" Ben says, zooming his car on the grass. + +"No, you can't, Ben, my car is better!" Mia says, chasing him with her car. + +They follow each other around the garden, making sounds like engines and horns. They have fun and laugh. + +But then, Ben sees a big rock and has an idea. He drives his car towards the rock and makes it jump over it. He thinks he is very clever. + +"Wow, Ben, that was cool!" Mia says, watching him. + +But when Ben's car lands on the other side of the rock, it hits a stick and flips over. It makes a loud bang and breaks into pieces. Ben's car is a wreck. + +"Oh no, Ben, your car!" Mia says, running to him. + +Ben is sad and angry. He picks up the pieces of his car and throws them on the ground. He cries and stomps his feet. + +"It's not fair, it's not fair!" he says. "My car was real, not fake!" + +Mia feels sorry for Ben. She goes to him and hugs him. She gives him her car and says: + +"Here, Ben, you can have my car. It's not fake, either. It's just a toy. We can share and play together." + +Ben stops crying and looks at Mia. He smiles and says: + +"Thank you, Mia, you are very nice. I'm sorry I was mean. Can we still be friends?" + +Mia nods and says: + +"Of course, Ben, we are always friends. Come on, let's play some more." + +They hug and take turns playing with the red car. They forget about the wreck and have fun again. +Sara and Ben like to pretend they are animals. Sara is a cat and Ben is a dog. They run and play in the yard. Sometimes they chase each other and sometimes they cuddle. + +One day, it is very cold outside. Sara and Ben put on their coats and hats and gloves. They go out to the yard. They see snow on the ground. They are happy. They make snowballs and throw them at each other. They laugh and bark and meow. + +"Let's make a snowman!" Sara says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They roll big balls of snow and stack them on top of each other. They find a carrot for the nose and some rocks for the eyes and mouth. They use a scarf and a hat to dress the snowman. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Sara says. "We are your friends!" + +The snowman does not say anything. He just smiles. + +Sara and Ben hug the snowman. He is cold but gentle. They are warm and happy. They pretend the snowman is their pet. They give him a name. + +"His name is Frosty!" Ben says. + +"I like Frosty!" Sara says. + +They play with Frosty until it is time to go inside. They say goodbye to Frosty and promise to come back tomorrow. They go inside and drink hot chocolate. They are still pretending they are animals. They lick their lips and wag their tails. They love to pretend. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds and a nest on top. They wanted to see the nest and the eggs inside. + +"Let's climb the tree and look at the nest," said Ben. + +"No, that's not nice. The birds will be scared and angry. We should leave them alone," said Mia. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and started to climb. Mia followed him, afraid that he would fall or hurt the birds. + +They reached the nest and saw four blue eggs. Ben reached out to touch one, but a loud squawk made him stop. A big bird with a red head and a yellow beak flew at them. It was the mother bird, and she was very mad. + +"Go away! Go away! This is my nest! Leave my eggs alone!" she screamed. + +Ben and Mia were terrified. They hugged each other and tried to climb down, but the bird kept pecking and flapping at them. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +Then they saw a dull gray bird on a branch. It was the father bird, and he was not happy either. He flew to the nest and joined the mother bird in attacking the twins. + +"Help! Help! We're sorry! We won't touch your nest again!" Ben and Mia shouted. + +But the birds did not stop. They wanted to protect their nest and their eggs. They were very strong and fierce. + +Mia and Ben wished they had listened to Mia. They wished they had left the nest alone. They wished they had played somewhere else. They wished someone would come and save them. +Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta with sauce. Mom said she would make it for them. She put water in a big pot and turned on the fire. Then she opened a can of sauce and poured it in a small pot. She stirred the sauce with a spoon. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can help me. You can get the cheese from the fridge and grate some on a plate. And you can get the salt and pepper from the cupboard and put them on the table. Ben, can you do that?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. I can do that." Ben said. He opened the fridge and took out the cheese. He found the grater and grated some cheese on a plate. He was careful not to hurt his fingers. Then he opened the cupboard and took out the salt and pepper. He put them on the table next to the cheese. + +"Good job, Ben. Thank you for helping me." Mom said. She smiled at him. She checked the water in the big pot. It was boiling. She put some pasta in the water and waited for it to cook. + +"Mom, can I taste the sauce?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can taste the sauce. But be careful, it might be hot. Here, use this spoon." Mom said. She gave Anna a spoon and dipped it in the sauce. She blew on it to cool it down. She handed it to Anna. + +Anna tasted the sauce. It was red and sweet and tangy. She liked it a lot. + +"Mmm, this sauce is delicious, Mom. I love it." Anna said. + +"I'm glad you like it, Anna. It's almost ready. Let's drain the pasta and put it in a big bowl. Then we can add the sauce and the cheese and mix it well. Then we can eat it." Mom said. + +She drained the pasta and put it in a big bowl. She added the sauce and the cheese and mixed it well. She put some on four plates and gave one to Anna, one to Ben, one to Dad, and one to herself. They all sat down at the table and ate the pasta with sauce. + +They all said it was delicious. They thanked Mom for making it. They were happy and full. They cleared the table and washed the dishes. Then they played a game together. It was a good day. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. They also liked to celebrate their birthday. They had a big cake with candles and balloons. They were happy. + +But Lily and Ben had a problem. They shared a room with a big closet. The closet had a knob that was shiny and round. Lily and Ben both wanted to open the closet and see what was inside. They thought there might be more toys or books or surprises. + +One day, when their mom was busy, Lily and Ben decided to open the closet. They ran to the knob and pulled on it. But the knob was too hard to turn. They pushed and pulled and twisted and turned. They made a lot of noise. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the knob. She was angry. She said, "Stop that! You are not allowed to open the closet. There is nothing inside for you. It is just a harmless closet with old clothes and shoes. You could hurt yourself or break something. Go and play with your toys and books. And don't touch the knob again!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to see what was inside. We didn't know it was harmless. We won't touch the knob again." Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I love you. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. The closet is not for you. Maybe next time, I will let you help me clean it and you can see what is inside. But for now, go and play with your toys and books. And don't forget to celebrate your birthday. You are my special twins." Lily and Ben smiled and said, "We love you, mom. Thank you. We will celebrate our birthday and have fun." They went to play with their toys and books and forgot about the knob. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to draw pictures with crayons. One day, they find a big book with many pictures of animals. They want to draw the same animal, a lion. + +"I want the yellow crayon!" Anna says. + +"No, I want it!" Ben says. + +They both grab the crayon and pull. They fight over the crayon. The crayon breaks in half. They drop the pieces and look at the book. The book has a big tear on the lion page. They feel guilty. + +"Mommy will be mad at us," Anna says. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben says. + +They try to tape the book and the crayon. But it does not look good. They hear Mommy coming. They hide the book and the crayon under the sofa. + +"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" Mommy asks. + +"Nothing," Anna and Ben say. + +Mommy sees their guilty faces. She looks under the sofa. She sees the book and the crayon. + +"Did you do this?" Mommy asks. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry. + +Mommy is not happy. She tells them to say sorry to each other and to the book. She tells them to share the crayons and to be careful with the books. She gives them a hug. + +"Next time, you can draw different animals," Mommy says. + +"Okay, Mommy," Anna and Ben say. + +They draw a zebra and a giraffe. They do not fight. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They were making noises and having fun. + +Suddenly, Lily said, "I need to go to the toilet. Can you watch my doll, Max?" + +Max nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. I will watch your doll. Hurry back." + +Lily ran to the toilet and closed the door. She did what she had to do and flushed the water. But then she heard a weird sound. It was like a growl. + +She was scared and opened the door. She saw a big dog standing outside the toilet. It had brown fur and sharp teeth. It looked angry. + +Lily screamed and said, "Help! Help! There is a dog in the house!" + +Max heard Lily and dropped his car. He ran to the toilet and saw the dog. He was brave and said, "Go away, dog! You are not welcome here!" + +The dog looked at Max and replied, "Woof! Woof! I am not a dog. I am a bear. I came to visit my friend, the toilet. He is lonely and likes to talk to me." + +Lily and Max were shocked and confused. They did not know what to say. They did not know that toilets could talk or have friends. They did not know that bears could pretend to be dogs. They did not know what to do. + +They ran to their mom and dad and told them what happened. Their mom and dad did not believe them. They said, "Lily and Max, you are making up stories. There is no bear in the house. There is no talking toilet. You are just playing." + +Lily and Max shook their heads and said, "No, mom and dad. It is true. Come and see." + +They took their mom and dad to the toilet. But when they got there, the dog-bear and the toilet were gone. There was only a note on the floor. It said, "Thank you for letting me visit, toilet. You are a good friend. I will come back soon. Love, bear." + +Lily and Max showed the note to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad were surprised and amazed. They said, "Wow, Lily and Max. You were right. There was a bear in the house. There was a talking toilet. You are not playing. You are telling the truth." + +Lily and Max smiled and said, "We told you so. It was weird, but it was real." + +They hugged their mom and dad and went back to their toys. They wondered if the bear and the toilet would come back. They hoped they would. They wanted to talk to them and be their friends. They thought they were cool and funny. They liked weird things. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their wagon in the park. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and pulled it along the path. + +One day, Lily saw a big red ball in the grass. She wanted to play with it. She left the wagon and ran to the ball. Ben was sad. He wanted Lily to stay with him and the wagon. + +Ben was angry. He took Lily's doll from the wagon and threw it in the mud. He thought that would make Lily come back. But Lily did not see him. She was having fun with the ball. + +Lily came back to the wagon after a while. She saw her doll in the mud. She was very sad. She cried and asked Ben why he did that. Ben felt sorry. He said he was angry because she left him. He said he was sorry and he wanted to be friends again. + +Lily was still sad, but she did not want to lose Ben. She knew he was sorry. She said she was sorry too for leaving him. She said she would be more careful next time. She said she forgave him. They hugged and smiled. They washed the doll and put it back in the wagon. They shared the ball and played together. They were happy again. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. The truck makes a loud sound. It is the ice-cream man. + +"Look, Sam, ice-cream!" Lily says. She runs to the truck. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Sam says. He runs after her. + +The ice-cream man smiles. He has many kinds of ice-cream. He asks, "What do you want, kids?" + +Lily points to a cone with pink ice-cream. She says, "I want this one, please." + +Sam points to a cup with brown ice-cream. He says, "I want this one, please." + +The ice-cream man gives them their ice-cream. He says, "Here you go, enjoy!" + +Lily and Sam say, "Thank you, ice-cream man!" + +They sit on a bench and eat their ice-cream. They lick their lips. The ice-cream is cold and sweet. + +"Mmm, this is good ice-cream," Lily says. + +"Yes, it is good ice-cream," Sam says. + +They are happy. They share their ice-cream with each other. They are good friends. +Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But Lisa has sunglasses and Ben does not. Lisa thinks her sunglasses are cool and pretty. She wears them all the time. + +One day, Lisa and Ben are playing with their ball. Lisa throws the ball to Ben. Ben catches it and throws it back. But the sun is in his eyes. He squints and rubs his eyes. He cannot see well. + +"Lisa, can I try your sunglasses?" Ben asks. He wants to see better. He is jealous of Lisa's sunglasses. + +"No, Ben, they are mine!" Lisa says. She does not want to share. She likes her sunglasses too much. She puts them on her nose and smiles. + +Ben is sad and angry. He wants to have sunglasses too. He thinks Lisa is mean. He waits for Lisa to throw the ball again. When she does, he does not catch it. He runs to Lisa and tries to grab her sunglasses. He reaches for them with his hand. + +"Hey, stop it, Ben!" Lisa shouts. She pulls her head back. She does not want Ben to take her sunglasses. She holds them tight. + +They both tug and pull. They both yell and cry. They both fall to the ground. The sunglasses fall too. They break. They are not cool and pretty anymore. They are broken and ugly. + +Lisa and Ben look at the sunglasses. They look at each other. They feel sorry and silly. They hug and say sorry. + +They do not need sunglasses to play. They need each other. They are twins. They are friends. They are happy. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a cord in the closet. It was long and thin and shiny. They did not know what it was for, but they thought it looked fun. + +"Let's play with the cord!" Sam said. "We can make it into a snake or a rope or a belt!" + +"OK!" Tom said. "But be careful, don't pull it too hard or it might break!" + +They took the cord to the living room and started to play. They wrapped it around their arms and legs and necks. They pretended to be mighty heroes and villains. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Sam pulled the cord too hard and it snapped. The cord was not a toy, it was a power cord. It was connected to a lamp that was plugged into the wall. When the cord broke, the lamp fell and hit the floor. It made a loud noise and a bright spark. The spark set the carpet on fire. + +"Help! Help!" Sam and Tom screamed. "Fire! Fire!" + +They ran to the door, but it was locked. They had locked it when they started to play, so no one would bother them. They tried to open it, but they could not. They were trapped. + +They cried and shouted, but no one heard them. The fire grew bigger and hotter. It burned the cord, the lamp, the toys, the sofa, the curtains, and everything else. It reached Sam and Tom and burned them too. + +They did not play with the cord ever again. +Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Some ducks were big and some ducks were small. Some ducks were white and some ducks were brown. + +"Look, Mom, a fat duck!" Ben said, pointing at a white duck with a big belly. "He must eat a lot of bread." + +Mom smiled and said, "Maybe he does, Ben. But do you know what else makes ducks fat?" + +Ben shook his head. He did not know. + +"Guess, Ben. Guess what else makes ducks fat," Mom said. + +Ben thought hard. He looked at the pond and the ducks. He saw something shiny in the water. + +"Fish?" Ben guessed. "Do ducks eat fish?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, Ben, some ducks do eat fish. That's a good guess. But there is something else that makes ducks fat. Something that we have in our bodies too." + +Ben was curious. He wanted to know what else made ducks fat. + +"Tell me, Mom. Tell me what else makes ducks fat," Ben said. + +Mom leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Feathers, Ben. Feathers make ducks fat. Ducks have many feathers to keep them warm and dry. Feathers are light and fluffy, but they look fat." + +Ben gasped. He did not know that feathers made ducks fat. He looked at the fat duck again. He saw its feathers. He touched his own hair. + +"Wow, Mom. That's amazing. Feathers make ducks fat. I have hair. Does hair make me fat?" Ben asked. + +Mom laughed and hugged Ben. She said, "No, Ben, hair does not make you fat. Hair makes you handsome. And I love you very much." + +Lily heard Mom and Ben talking. She ran over to them. She wanted to know what they were talking about. + +"Mom, Ben, what are you talking about?" Lily asked. + +Mom and Ben smiled and said, "We are talking about ducks, Lily. Do you want to guess what makes ducks fat?" +Tim and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a new toy. It is a red car. They like to drive it on the grass and the dirt. + +"Look, Tim, there is a big hole!" Lily says. She points to a hole near the fence. "Let's bury the car in the hole. It will be fun!" + +"OK, Lily, let's do it!" Tim says. He picks up the car and puts it in the hole. Then he and Lily use their hands and feet to cover it with dirt. They pat the dirt hard. + +"There, we buried the car!" Lily says. She smiles. "Now we can dig it out later. It will be a surprise!" + +Tim nods. He is happy. But then he feels something on his leg. It is an itch. He scratches his leg. He sees a red spot. "Ow, Lily, I have an itch!" he says. "Something bit me!" + +Lily looks at his leg. She sees the red spot. She thinks it is a bug bite. "Oh, Tim, I'm sorry!" she says. "Maybe it was an ant. Ants live in the dirt. They don't like us to bury things in their home." + +Tim frowns. He doesn't like ants. He doesn't like itches. He wants to get the car out of the hole. "Let's dig out the car, Lily!" he says. "Maybe the ants will leave us alone then." + +"OK, Tim, let's do it!" Lily says. She grabs a stick and starts to dig. Tim grabs another stick and helps her. They dig and dig until they see the red car. They pull it out of the hole. It is dirty, but it is still new. + +"Yay, we found the car!" Lily says. She hugs the car. "It is still our new toy. We can wash it and play with it again." + +Tim smiles. He hugs the car too. He is happy. His itch is gone. He likes Lily. He likes the car. He likes to play in the garden. He says, "This is the best day ever!" +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big tank in the garage. It is green and has a big gun. + +"Wow, look at this tank!" Tim says. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it is Dad's. He likes tanks." + +They climb on the tank and pretend to drive it. They make loud noises and shoot the gun. They have fun. + +But then, the tank starts to move. It is not a toy. It is a real tank. It rolls out of the garage and onto the street. + +"Help!" Tim and Sam shout. "We can't stop the tank!" + +They panic. They don't know what to do. They see cars and people and trees. They don't want to hurt them. + +A police car comes. It has a siren and a light. It follows the tank. The police officer has a loudspeaker. + +"Stop the tank!" he says. "Get off the tank!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They want to get off, but they don't know how. They look for a door or a button. + +Then, they see a man. He is running after the tank. He is wearing a uniform. He has a badge. He is Dad. + +"Dad!" Tim and Sam cry. "Help us!" + +Dad catches up with the tank. He climbs on it. He opens a hatch. He pulls Tim and Sam out. + +"Are you okay?" he asks. "What were you doing?" + +"We were playing," Tim and Sam say. "We didn't know it was real." + +Dad hugs them. He is angry, but he is also happy. He is glad they are safe. + +"I'm sorry, Dad," Tim and Sam say. "We won't play with your tank again." + +Dad smiles. He is not mad anymore. He is proud. He is a soldier. He knows how to drive a tank. + +He talks to the police officer. He explains what happened. The police officer is nice. He is not mad either. He is helpful. He helps Dad take the tank back to the garage. + +Tim and Sam say sorry to the police officer. They say thank you to Dad. They learn a lesson. They don't play with things they don't know. They play with toys. They are friends. +Ben likes to collect things. He collects rocks, shells, stickers and toys. He has a big box where he puts all his things. He likes to look at them and show them to his friends. + +One day, he sees a guitar in a shop window. It is shiny and red. He wants to have it. He asks his mom if he can buy it. His mom says no. She says it is too expensive and too big for him. She says he has enough things already. + +Ben is sad. He thinks the guitar is the most beautiful thing he ever saw. He walks away from the shop. He sees a man playing a guitar on the street. He stops and listens. The man sings a sweet song. Ben likes the song. He claps his hands. + +The man sees Ben and smiles. He says, "Hello, little boy. Do you like my guitar?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, I do. It is very nice. Can I touch it?" + +The man says, "Sure, you can. But be careful. It is fragile." + +He hands the guitar to Ben. Ben holds it gently. He feels the strings and the wood. He tries to make a sound. He giggles. + +The man says, "You have a good ear. Do you want to learn how to play?" + +Ben says, "Yes, please. But I don't have a guitar." + +The man says, "That's okay. You can borrow mine. I will teach you some chords and some songs. How about that?" + +Ben says, "That would be great. Thank you, mister." + +The man says, "You're welcome, Ben. My name is Tom. Come on, let's sit down and play." + +Ben and Tom sit down on a bench. Tom shows Ben how to hold the guitar and how to strum the strings. He teaches him a simple song. Ben listens and repeats. He is happy. He thinks he has found a new friend and a new thing to collect. +Tommy loved to read books. He had many books in his room. He read them every day. He liked to learn new things and go on adventures with the characters. He read with his thumb in his mouth. It made him feel cozy and happy. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom. He brought his favorite book with him. It was about a brave knight and a dragon. He sat on a bench and opened his book. He was ready to read. + +But then he saw Billy. Billy was a boy from his preschool. Billy had a big bike. It was shiny and red. It had a horn and a basket. Billy rode his bike around the park. He made loud noises with his horn. He looked very proud and happy. + +Tommy felt a strange feeling in his chest. He wanted a bike like Billy's. He wished he could ride it and make noises. He looked at his book. It seemed boring and old. He felt envious of Billy. + +"Hi, Tommy!" Billy said. He stopped his bike near the bench. "What are you doing?" + +"I'm reading," Tommy said. He tried to sound cool and calm. But he felt shy and sad. + +"Reading?" Billy said. He made a face. "That's boring. Reading is for babies. You should play with a bike. It's fun and fast. Look at mine. It's the best bike ever. Do you want to try it?" + +Tommy looked at Billy's bike. He felt a strong urge to say yes. He wanted to feel the wind in his hair and the horn in his hand. He wanted to have fun and fast. + +But then he looked at his book. He remembered how much he loved it. He remembered the brave knight and the dragon. He remembered how cozy and happy he felt when he read with his thumb in his mouth. He realized that reading was not boring. Reading was for smart and curious people. Reading was his favorite thing to do. + +"No, thank you," Tommy said. He smiled and held his book tight. "I like reading. Reading is for me. You can keep your bike. I have my book." + +Billy shrugged and rode away. He did not understand Tommy. He thought Tommy was weird and silly. + +But Tommy did not care. He opened his book and started to read. He forgot about Billy and his bike. He entered a world of magic and adventure. He felt cozy and happy. He read with his thumb in his mouth. He was proud and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were superheroes. Lily wore a red cape and Ben wore a blue mask. They ran and jumped and laughed. + +"Look, Lily, I see a bad guy!" Ben said, pointing to a big rabbit. The rabbit was eating their mom's celery. "We have to save the celery!" + +Lily nodded. She ran after the rabbit. "Stop, bad guy! You can't have our celery!" she shouted. The rabbit looked at her and ran away. Lily chased it to the fence. + +Ben followed her. He saw the rabbit jump over the fence and escape. He hugged Lily. "You did it, Lily! You saved the celery! You are very strong!" + +Lily smiled. She felt proud. She hugged Ben back. "Thank you, Ben! You are very brave! You helped me save the celery!" + +They went back to the garden. They picked some celery and washed it. They gave some to their mom and some to their dad. They ate some too. It was crunchy and yummy. + +They were happy. They were superheroes. They saved the celery. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the house. One day, they find a mop in the kitchen. It is big and wet. + +"Look, Ben, a mop!" Sara says. "We can play with it!" + +"OK, Sara, what can we do?" Ben asks. + +Sara thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. "We can walk with the mop and make funny sounds. Like this: swish, swish, swish!" + +Sara takes the mop and walks around the kitchen. She makes swish sounds with her mouth. Ben laughs and follows her. He takes another mop and does the same. They walk and swish and giggle. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees Sara and Ben with the mops. The floor is wet and messy. + +"Oh, no, Sara and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom says. "You are making a big mess with the mops!" + +Sara and Ben stop and look at Mom. They see her face. She is not happy. + +"Sorry, Mom, we were just playing," Sara says. + +"We wanted to have fun with the mops," Ben says. + +Mom sighs and shakes her head. She thinks Sara and Ben are silly. But she also loves them very much. + +"OK, Sara and Ben, I know you were playing. But mops are not toys. They are for cleaning. You have to help me clean the floor now. And then you can play with something else. OK?" + +"OK, Mom, we will help you," Sara and Ben say. + +They put the mops away and get some towels. They help Mom wipe the floor. Then they hug Mom and say sorry. Mom hugs them back and smiles. + +"Thank you, Sara and Ben, you are good helpers. Now, how about we play a game together? Do you want to play hide and seek?" + +"Yes, Mom, we love hide and seek!" Sara and Ben say. + +They run to the living room and start to play. Mom counts to ten and then looks for them. They have fun and forget about the mops. They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and throw a ball for Spot to catch. It was a sunny day and they were having fun. + +But then they saw something unusual. The sky became gray and a white mist came down from the hills. The mist was cold and wet and made it hard to see. Tom and Lily felt scared and looked for their mom. + +"Mom, mom, where are you?" they shouted. + +"I'm here, don't worry," their mom said. She came out of the mist and hugged them. "The mist is just some fog. It will go away soon. But we should go home now. It's getting late." + +She took their hands and started to walk. Spot followed them, wagging his tail. + +"Can we bring the ball, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, you can," their mom said. "But you have to hold it tight. We don't want to lose it in the mist." + +Tom nodded and picked up the ball. He held it tight in his arms. Lily did the same with her doll. They walked with their mom and Spot through the mist, hoping to see their home soon. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They had a big bucket of water to make the mud wet. + +"Look, I made a house for my toy car!" Ben said, showing Lily his mud pie. "It has a door and a window and a roof." + +"That's nice, Ben," Lily said. "But I can make a bigger house. Watch me!" She poured more water into the dirt and started to make a bigger mud pie. + +Ben did not like that. He wanted to have the biggest house. He poured more water into his dirt and made his mud pie bigger too. "Ha! My house is bigger than yours now!" he said. + +Lily did not like that. She poured more water into her dirt and made her mud pie bigger too. "No, my house is bigger than yours!" she said. + +They kept pouring more water and making their mud pies bigger and bigger. They did not notice that the sky was getting dark and the wind was blowing hard. They did not hear their mom calling them to come inside. + +Soon, it started to rain. The rain was heavy and fast. It made the mud pies wetter and wetter. The mud pies started to fall apart. The water started to increase in the yard. It made a big puddle that covered the grass and the flowers. + +Ben and Lily looked at their mud pies. They were not houses anymore. They were just lumps of wet mud. They felt sad and mad. They had worked hard to make their houses, but the rain ruined them. + +They heard their mom calling them again. "Ben! Lily! Come inside now! It's raining too much!" she said. + +They ran to the house. They were wet and dirty. They left their bucket and their toy car in the yard. They did not want to play with them anymore. + +Their mom gave them towels and dry clothes. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry your mud pies got ruined. But you can make new ones another day. Maybe you can make them together and share them. That would be more fun, don't you think?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt a little better. They decided to play with their blocks instead. They made a house with their blocks. It had a door and a window and a roof. It was not a big house, but it was a nice house. They put their toy car inside. They smiled at each other. They were happy. +Anna liked to look at the stars at night. She wanted to go to space and see them up close. She asked her mom, "Can we go to space, please?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Space is very far away, Anna. We need a special ship to go there. And it is very cold and dark in space. You would need a special suit to stay warm and breathe." + +Anna felt sad and confused. She did not understand why space was so hard to reach. She said, "But I want to see the stars. They are so pretty and shiny. Can we not make a special ship and suit?" + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "Maybe one day, Anna. But for now, we can only see the stars from here. And they are still pretty and shiny, even from far away. Look, there is your favorite star, the big bright one. Do you know what it is called?" + +Anna looked up and saw the star. She remembered what mom had told her before. She said, "It is called the sun. It is a star, but it is closer to us than the other stars. It gives us light and heat." + +Mom nodded and said, "That's right, Anna. The sun is a star, and it is our friend. It helps us grow and live. And it is always there, even when we can't see it. It is just hiding behind the earth or the clouds. But it will come back every morning." + +Anna felt a little better. She still wanted to go to space, but she also liked the sun. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love the sun." + +Mom kissed Anna and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love the stars. They are our friends too. They watch over us at night and make us dream. Now, let's go to bed and sleep. Maybe you will dream of space and stars." + +Anna nodded and followed mom to her room. She lay down on her bed and looked out the window. She saw the stars twinkling in the sky. She smiled and closed her eyes. She did not cry anymore. She dreamed of space and stars. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a wide path. The path has many flowers and trees. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park. They see a big rainbow in the sky. The rainbow has many colors. Anna and Ben are happy. They want to see the rainbow closer. + +"Let's skip to the rainbow!" Anna says. "Maybe we can find a pot of gold!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "Skipping is fun!" + +Anna and Ben hold hands. They skip on the path. They sing a cheerful song. They see the rainbow getting bigger and brighter. + +They skip and skip until they reach the end of the path. They look for the pot of gold. But they do not see it. They only see a pond. The pond has ducks and frogs. + +"Where is the pot of gold?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe the rainbow moved." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They wanted to find the pot of gold. They sit on the grass. They watch the ducks and frogs. + +"Look!" Anna says. "The rainbow is in the pond!" + +Anna and Ben look at the pond. They see the rainbow reflected in the water. The rainbow is still colorful and beautiful. + +"Wow!" Ben says. "The rainbow is still here!" + +Anna and Ben smile. They forget about the pot of gold. They enjoy the rainbow in the pond. They throw bread to the ducks and frogs. They are happy again. They skip back to their homes. They thank the rainbow for making their day. +Lily and Ben liked to look at the ornaments on the tree. They were shiny and pretty and had many colors. Some ornaments were round, some were stars, some were animals. Lily and Ben wanted to touch them, but Mom said no. She said they could break and hurt them. + +One day, Mom was busy in the kitchen. Lily and Ben were bored. They saw the tree and the ornaments. They thought they could play with them. They were very quiet and sneaky. They went to the tree and reached for the ornaments. + +But they did not know that the tree was not strong. It was old and wobbly. When Lily and Ben pulled on the ornaments, the tree shook and fell down. The ornaments broke and made a loud noise. Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. + +She saw the tree and the ornaments and Lily and Ben. She was angry and sad. She said they were naughty and lazy. She said they had to help her clean up the mess. She said they could not play with the ornaments anymore. She said they had to say sorry. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to make the tree fall. They did not mean to break the ornaments. They said sorry to Mom. They helped her clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They never played with the ornaments again. +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a sore throat. She did not want to play or eat. Mommy was worried. She took Lily to the doctor. + +The doctor was nice. He looked at Lily's throat and ears. He said she had an infection. He said she needed medicine to get better. He said he had to give her a needle. + +Lily was scared. She did not like needles. They hurt. She cried and hid behind Mommy. She said no, no, no. The doctor tried to calm her down. He said the needle was very small and fast. He said it would help her feel better soon. He said he had a sticker for her. + +Lily still did not want the needle. She was ashamed. She knew Mommy and the doctor wanted to help her. She knew she was being silly. But she could not help it. She was too scared. + +Mommy hugged her. She said she loved her. She said she was brave. She said she would hold her hand. She said it would be over soon. She said she was proud of her. + +Lily took a deep breath. She nodded. She let the doctor give her the needle. It hurt a little, but not too much. It was over soon. The doctor smiled. He gave her a sticker. It was a rainbow. Lily liked rainbows. + +Lily felt better. She thanked the doctor. She hugged Mommy. She was not ashamed anymore. She was brave. She was proud. She was happy. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to draw. They had many colors and papers to make pictures. One day, they saw a poster that said: "Come to the art show and win a prize!" They wanted to go and show their drawings. + +They asked their moms to take them to the art show. Their moms said yes and drove them to the big hall. There were many people and many drawings. Tom and Lily felt excited and nervous. They looked for a place to put their drawings. + +They saw a long line of children waiting to hang their drawings on a wall. Tom and Lily joined the line and waited. But some children were not nice. They pushed and shouted and tried to get ahead. Tom and Lily did not like that. They wanted to be fair and kind. + +They saw a man with a badge and a microphone. He was the judge of the art show. He walked along the wall and looked at the drawings. He stopped at some and smiled. He stopped at others and frowned. He came to the end of the line and said: "I have seen all the drawings. Now I will announce the winner." + +Tom and Lily hoped that their drawings would win. They had worked hard and used many colors. They thought their drawings were beautiful. But the judge did not pick their drawings. He picked a drawing by a boy who had pushed and shouted and cheated. He said: "This is the best drawing. This boy is very talented. He will be famous one day." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not think that was fair. They did not think that was kind. They did not want to be friends with that boy. They wanted to go home. + +Their moms came to them and hugged them. They said: "We are proud of you. You did a great job. You were patient and polite. You did not give up. You are good artists and good people. That is more important than winning a prize. That is what makes you famous in our hearts." +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they have one favorite toy. It is a big bear. The bear is soft and brown. It has a red bow on its neck. + +One day, Sara and Tom have a fight. They both want to play with the bear. They pull the bear from each other. They shout and cry. + +"Give me the bear! It is mine!" Sara says. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Tom says. + +They do not share. They do not listen. They make their mom sad. + +Mom comes to their room. She sees the mess. She sees the bear. She has an idea. + +She takes the bear from Sara and Tom. They stop fighting. They look at mom. They are scared. + +"What are you doing, mom?" Sara asks. + +"I am going to wrap the bear," mom says. + +She finds a big box. She puts the bear in the box. She finds some paper. She wraps the box with the paper. She wraps it tight. She puts a ribbon on the box. + +She gives the box to Sara and Tom. They are confused. + +"Open it," mom says. + +Sara and Tom open the box. They see the bear. They are happy. + +"Wow, it is the bear!" Sara says. + +"It is a gift!" Tom says. + +They hug the bear. They hug mom. They say sorry. + +"Thank you, mom," Sara and Tom say. + +"You are welcome, my loves," mom says. "But remember, you have to share. The bear is for both of you. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They smile. They play with the bear. They play nice. They make mom proud. +Jill was miserable. She wanted to play with her kitten, but her kitten was sick. She had a fever and a cough, and she did not want to eat or drink. Jill's mom took her kitten to the vet, but they had to wait a long time. + +"Mom, when can we go home?" Jill asked. She was bored and worried. + +"Soon, honey. The vet is very busy. He has to help many animals," Mom said. She hugged Jill and gave her a book. "Why don't you read this? It has pictures of kittens." + +Jill opened the book, but she did not feel like reading. She missed her kitten. She looked around the waiting room. She saw a big dog, a small bird, a fat hamster, and a funny turtle. They all looked sad or scared. + +Then she saw a box on a chair. It had holes in it, and it made a soft noise. Jill was curious. She walked over to the box and peeked inside. She saw four tiny kittens. They were black and white and fluffy. They were sleeping and snuggling. + +Jill smiled. She reached out her hand and gently touched one of the kittens. It opened its eyes and looked at her. It was so cute. It meowed and licked her finger. Jill felt happy. + +"Hello, little kitten. What is your name?" Jill whispered. + +The kitten did not answer, but it climbed out of the box and onto Jill's lap. It rubbed its head against her chest and purred. Jill hugged it and stroked its fur. It felt warm and soft. + +The kitten's owner, a boy with glasses, came over. He smiled at Jill. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. This is my kitten, Shake. He likes you," he said. + +"Hi, I'm Jill. Shake is a nice name. Why did you call him that?" Jill asked. + +"Because he likes to shake his tail when he plays. See?" Ben said. He waved a toy mouse in front of Shake. Shake jumped and chased the mouse. He shook his tail and meowed. + +Jill laughed. She played with Shake and Ben. They had fun. Jill forgot about her misery. She felt better. + +Soon, Mom came back with her kitten. The vet had given her some medicine and said she would be fine. Jill was glad. She thanked Ben and said goodbye to Shake. She took her kitten and hugged her. + +"Mom, can we come back and visit Shake and Ben?" Jill asked. + +"Maybe, honey. If they don't mind. They are very nice," Mom said. + +"Yes, they are. And Shake is very funny. He made me happy," Jill said. + +Mom smiled. She was happy too. She drove home with Jill and her kitten. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a cool toy phone. They can ring each other and pretend to talk. + +One day, they see a big poster in the park. It says: "Come and see the tiger at the zoo!" Lily and Ben love animals. They want to see the tiger. + +They ring their moms and ask if they can go to the zoo. Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful and stay together. Lily and Ben are happy. They say thank you and run to the bus stop. + +At the zoo, they see many animals. They see monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and penguins. They have fun and learn new things. But they are most excited to see the tiger. + +They find the tiger cage. The tiger is orange and black. He has big teeth and claws. He is sleeping on a rock. Lily and Ben are amazed. They want to talk to the tiger. + +They use their toy phone and ring the tiger. They say: "Hello, tiger! You are so cool! We like you a lot! Can you wake up and play with us?" + +The tiger hears the phone. He opens his eyes and looks at Lily and Ben. He is curious. He stands up and walks to the cage. He roars and says: "Hello, kids! You are so brave! I like you too! But I can't play with you. I have to stay in my cage. But you can watch me and learn more about me." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They watch the tiger and ask him questions. They learn that the tiger is from Asia, that he likes to eat meat, and that he can swim and climb. They say: "Wow, tiger! You are so smart and strong! You are our favorite animal!" + +The tiger smiles and says: "Thank you, kids! You are very kind and smart too! You are my favorite visitors!" + +Lily and Ben smile and say: "Bye, tiger! We will come back and see you again!" + +They ring their moms and tell them about the tiger. Their moms are proud and happy. They say: "Good job, Lily and Ben! You had a great adventure! Now it's time to go home and have some snacks!" + +Lily and Ben say: "Okay, mom! We had a lot of fun! We love the zoo and the tiger!" + +They hug each other and say: "We are the best friends!" + +The end. +Sara and Tom like to play with trains. They have many trains and a big track. They make the track go around the room and under the table. They have fun making the trains go fast and slow and beep. + +One day, a new boy comes to play. His name is Ben. He has a train too, but it is very thin. It is not like Sara and Tom's trains. Sara and Tom look at Ben's train and laugh. + +"Your train is too thin!" Sara says. "It cannot join our track. It will fall off." + +Ben feels sad. He likes his train. He thinks it is special. He wants to play with Sara and Tom. + +"Please let me join your track," Ben says. "My train can go very fast and make noises too." + +Sara and Tom shake their heads. They do not want to share their track. They think Ben's train is silly. They tell him to go away. + +Ben goes away. He sits in a corner and plays with his train alone. He wishes he had friends. + +But then, something happens. Sara and Tom's track breaks. One of the pieces snaps and makes a gap. The trains cannot go around the room anymore. They stop and make sad sounds. + +Sara and Tom are upset. They do not know how to fix the track. They look around for help. + +They see Ben and his thin train. They remember what they said to him. They feel sorry. + +"Ben, can you help us?" Sara says. "Your train is thin. Maybe it can go over the gap and join the track." + +Ben looks at Sara and Tom. He sees that they are sorry. He smiles. + +"Sure, I can help you," Ben says. "My train is thin, but it is strong. It can join your track and make it work again." + +Ben brings his train and puts it on the track. He makes it go over the gap and join the other side. The track is fixed. The trains can go around the room again. They make happy sounds. + +Sara and Tom are happy too. They thank Ben and ask him to play with them. + +"Your train is not silly," Tom says. "It is cool. It can do things that our trains cannot." + +Ben is happy too. He has friends. He joins Sara and Tom and plays with the trains. They have fun making the trains go fast and slow and beep. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big horse with a man. The man has a whip in his hand. He makes the horse run fast and jump over things. + +"Wow, look at the horse!" Ben says. "He is so strong and fast!" + +"I want to ride the horse!" Lily says. "He is so pretty and soft!" + +They run to the man and ask him if they can ride the horse. The man says no. He says the horse is not for children. He says the horse is for a show. + +"Please, please, please!" Lily says. She insists. She wants to ride the horse very much. + +"No, no, no!" the man says. He is angry. He says the horse is not a toy. He says the horse needs to rest and eat healthy food. + +Ben and Lily are sad. They do not understand why the man is so mean. They think the horse is lonely and bored. + +They see a bench near the horse. They have an idea. They sneak to the bench and climb on it. They reach the horse and pet him. The horse likes them. He nuzzles them and makes a happy sound. + +"See, the horse likes us!" Ben says. "He is our friend!" + +"Let's ride him!" Lily says. She jumps on the horse's back. Ben follows her. They hold on to the horse's mane. + +The horse feels them on his back. He is surprised. He does not like the whip, but he likes the children. He decides to have some fun. He runs away from the man and the show. He takes Ben and Lily on a wild ride around the park. + +The man sees them and shouts. He chases them with his whip. He is very mad. He wants his horse back. + +Ben and Lily are scared. They want to get off the horse. They ask the horse to stop. The horse listens. He stops near a pond. He lets Ben and Lily slide off his back. He splashes them with water. He makes a funny sound. + +Ben and Lily laugh. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They hug the horse and thank him. They say he is the best horse ever. + +The man catches up with them. He is still mad. He scolds Ben and Lily. He says they are naughty and dangerous. He says they could have hurt the horse and themselves. + +Ben and Lily are sorry. They say they are sorry. They say they just wanted to ride the horse. They say the horse is nice and smart. + +The man calms down. He sees that Ben and Lily are not bad. He sees that the horse is not hurt. He sees that the horse likes Ben and Lily. He decides to be nice too. He says he is sorry. He says he was too harsh. He says he loves the horse and wants him to be healthy and happy. + +He asks Ben and Lily if they want to learn more about the horse. He says he can teach them how to care for him and ride him safely. He says he can let them ride him again, but only with his permission and supervision. + +Ben and Lily are excited. They say yes. They want to learn more about the horse. They want to ride him again, but only with the man's help. + +They follow the man and the horse. They go back to the show. They learn the horse's name. It is Star. They feed him healthy food. They brush him and comb him. They ride him gently and slowly. They have fun. + +They make a new friend. They are happy. The horse is happy. The man is happy. They all are happy. The end. +Tom is a deaf boy. He cannot hear what people say. He can talk with his hands. He likes to play with his toys and his dog. He is happy most of the time. + +One day, Tom goes to visit his grandma. She lives in a big house with a garden. She loves Tom very much. She makes a meal for him. She puts soup, bread, cheese and fruit on the table. She says, "Come, Tom, it is time to eat." + +Tom does not hear her. He is busy with his toys. He does not see her. He does not smell the food. He does not feel hungry. He does not want to eat. + +Grandma waits for him. She is sad. She thinks Tom does not like her meal. She thinks Tom does not want to be with her. She does not know how to talk with her hands. She does not know how to make Tom happy. + +She goes to Tom. She taps his shoulder. She points to the table. She smiles. She says, "Please, Tom, come and eat. I made this meal for you. I want you to be healthy and strong. I want you to enjoy my food. I want you to accept my love." + +Tom looks at her. He sees her mouth move. He sees her eyes shine. He sees her hand gesture. He understands her. He feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt her. He loves her too. + +He puts down his toys. He hugs her. He nods. He says with his hands, "Thank you, grandma. I am sorry. I did not hear you. I did not know. I like your meal. I like to be with you. I accept your love." +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to make different shapes and symbols with them. Tom made a star, Lily made a heart. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look at my star, Lily! It is impressive, right?" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, your star is impressive. But look at my heart, it is also impressive, right?" Lily said. + +They both smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to share their blocks and symbols. + +But then, Max came along. He was a big boy who liked to take things from others. He saw Tom and Lily's blocks and wanted them for himself. + +"Hey, these are my blocks now. Go away!" Max said. He grabbed the blocks and threw them in a pile. He did not care about the shapes and symbols that Tom and Lily made. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They wanted their blocks back. They did not like Max. + +"Max, you are mean! Give us our blocks back!" Tom said. + +"No, they are mine! You forget, I am bigger and stronger than you!" Max said. + +He pushed Tom and Lily away. He laughed and played with the blocks by himself. + +Tom and Lily did not know what to do. They felt helpless and scared. They wished someone would help them. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lila saw a big butterfly on a yellow flower. She wanted to catch it and show Tom. + +"Look, Tom, a butterfly!" she said. "I want to hold it." + +She ran to the flower and reached for the butterfly. But the butterfly flew away. Lila was sad. + +"Maybe you scared it," Tom said. "You have to be gentle with butterflies. They are very shy." + +He looked around and saw a twig on the ground. He picked it up and showed it to Lila. + +"Here, use this," he said. "You can make a butterfly net with this twig and your scarf. Then you can catch the butterfly without touching it." + +Lila liked the idea. She took off her scarf and tied it to the twig. She made a loop with the scarf and the twig. She had a butterfly net. + +"Thank you, Tom," she said. "You are very smart." + +They looked for the butterfly again. They saw it on another flower. Lila walked slowly and quietly to the flower. She held the twig with both hands. She was gentle. She put the net over the butterfly. She caught it. + +"Yay, I did it!" she said. "I caught the butterfly!" + +She lifted the net and looked at the butterfly. It was very pretty. It had blue and purple wings. It moved its wings slowly. + +"Wow, it's beautiful," Tom said. "Can I see it?" + +Lila nodded. She moved the net closer to Tom. But as she did, the butterfly flew out of the net. It escaped. + +"Oh, no!" Lila said. "It got away!" + +They watched the butterfly fly away. They were sad. + +"Maybe it wanted to be free," Tom said. "Maybe we should not catch butterflies. They are happier in the flowers." + +Lila thought about it. She agreed. + +"You are right, Tom," she said. "We should not catch butterflies. We should just look at them. They are more fun that way." + +They smiled at each other. They put the twig and the scarf back on the ground. They decided to play something else. They were still friends. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big maze made of hedges. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's go in the maze," Tom said. "It looks fun." + +"OK," Sue said. "But we have to stay together." + +They ran into the maze. They turned left and right and left again. They saw many flowers and birds. They laughed and talked. + +But soon, they got lost. They could not find the way out. They tried to follow the signs, but they were wrong. They got scared. + +"Tom, I want to go home," Sue said. "I don't like the maze." + +"Me too," Tom said. "But I don't know where to go." + +They walked and walked, but they only saw more hedges. They started to cry. + +"Help!" Tom shouted. "Help!" + +But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were stuck in the maze. + +The sun went down. It got dark and cold. They hugged each other and shivered. + +They wished they had never gone into the maze. They wished they had listened to their moms. They wished they could see their moms again. + +But they never did. They never got out of the maze. They never saw their moms again. They died in the maze. The end. +Lila and Ben liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys. They had cars, dolls, balls and a dragon. The dragon was green and soft. It had wings, horns and a long tail. Lila and Ben loved the dragon. They named it Fluffy. + +One day, they decided to play with Fluffy in the mud. They made a big pile of mud and put Fluffy on top. They pretended Fluffy was a real dragon and they were his friends. They made mud pies and threw them at each other. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard their mom calling them. "Lila! Ben! Time to bathe!" Mom said. "You are very dirty and so is Fluffy!" + +Lila and Ben looked at Fluffy. He was covered in mud. He looked sad. They felt sorry for him. They picked him up and ran to the house. + +"Mom, can we bathe Fluffy too?" Lila asked. "He is our dragon and he is very tough. He can go in the water." + +Mom smiled. She knew Fluffy was a toy, but she saw how much Lila and Ben cared for him. "Sure, you can bathe Fluffy too," she said. "But be gentle with him. He may be tough, but he is also soft." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They took Fluffy to the bathroom. They filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. They put Fluffy in the tub and washed him with a sponge. They sang to him and made him laugh. They rinsed him and wrapped him in a towel. They dried him and hugged him. + +Fluffy was clean and happy. He looked at Lila and Ben with his big eyes. He felt lucky to have such good friends. He wagged his tail and said, "Thank you, Lila and Ben. You are the best!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were cops and robbers. Lily was the cop and Ben was the robber. She had a hat and a badge and he had a mask and a bag. + +"Stop, robber! Give me back the money!" Lily shouted, running after Ben. + +"No way, cop! You can't catch me!" Ben said, laughing and running away. + +They ran around the trees and the swings, but Lily was faster. She grabbed Ben's bag and pulled it away from him. Ben fell to the ground and hurt his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried, holding his knee. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She dropped the bag and ran to him. + +"Are you okay, Ben? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," she said, hugging him. + +Ben sniffed and looked at her. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was just a game. But can I have my bag back? It has my cookies in it," he said. + +Lily smiled and gave him his bag. + +"Sure, Ben. Here you go. Do you want to share your cookies with me?" she asked. + +Ben nodded and opened his bag. + +"Okay, Lily. You can have some. You're a good cop," he said. + +They sat on the grass and ate their cookies. They were not restless anymore. They were happy and full. They decided to play another game, but this time they would both be cops. They crawled under the slide and pretended it was their car. They made siren noises and chased imaginary robbers. They had fun and forgot about their fight. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree, a slide, a swing and a bench. Where could Ben be? + +She decided to start her search at the tree. She walked to the tree and looked behind it. No Ben. She looked up at the branches. No Ben. She looked under the roots. No Ben. She scratched her head and said, "Where are you, Ben?" + +She heard a giggle from the slide. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down the slide. No Ben. She slid down the slide. No Ben. She looked under the slide. No Ben. She frowned and said, "Where are you, Ben?" + +She heard another giggle from the swing. She ran to the swing and pushed it. No Ben. She pulled it. No Ben. She looked on top of it. No Ben. She looked under it. No Ben. She stamped her foot and said, "Where are you, Ben?" + +She heard a final giggle from the bench. She ran to the bench and looked behind it. There was Ben, hiding under a blanket. She smiled and said, "I found you, Ben!" + +Ben came out from under the blanket and said, "You are a good seeker, Lily. You did not give up. You searched everywhere." + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good hider. You were very quiet and clever. You encouraged me to keep looking." + +They laughed and said, "Let's play again!" They took turns to be the seeker and the hider. They had fun and were gentle with each other. They were good friends. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play on the porch. They have a lot of toys. They have a ball, a doll, a car, and a book. + +One day, they see a cat on the porch. The cat is cute. It has black and white fur and green eyes. It looks at them and meows. + +"Hello, cat!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The cat walks to them and rubs its head on Lily's leg. Lily smiles and picks up the cat. She hugs it and says, "You are so soft and warm. I like you." + +Max comes closer and pets the cat. He says, "You are a nice cat. What is your name?" + +The cat purrs and licks Max's hand. It does not say its name. It does not have a name. + +Lily and Max look at each other. They think of a name for the cat. They want to give it a good name. + +"How about Spot?" Max says. "Because it has spots on its fur." + +Lily shakes her head. She says, "No, Spot is a dog's name. How about Snowy? Because it has white fur." + +The cat meows and nods. It likes the name Snowy. It is a cute name. + +Lily and Max are happy. They have a new friend. They say, "Welcome, Snowy. We are glad you are here. Do you want to play with our toys?" + +Snowy meows and nods. It wants to play with them. It likes their toys. It likes their porch. It likes Lily and Max. They are cute, too. +Tommy likes to taste new things. He likes to put objects in his mouth and see how they feel. He thinks it is fun and yummy. But sometimes he tastes things that are not good for him. His mom tells him to be careful and only taste food. + +One day, Tommy sees a shiny object on the table. It looks like a candy. He wants to taste it. He reaches for it with his hand. But his mom sees him and says, "No, Tommy, don't touch that! That is not a candy. That is a button. It is hard and small. You could choke on it. It is not for tasting." + +But Tommy does not listen. He is curious and fast. He grabs the button and puts it in his mouth. He bites on it. It does not taste like candy. It tastes like metal. It hurts his teeth. He spits it out. He makes a face. He does not like it. He says, "Blech!" + +His mom picks up the button and throws it in the trash. She is angry and scared. She says, "Tommy, you are a naughty boy. You could have hurt yourself. You need to listen to me. You need to taste only food. Not objects. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nods. He is sorry. He says, "I understand, Mommy. I am sorry. I will not taste objects anymore. I will taste only food." + +His mom hugs him and says, "I love you, Tommy. I am glad you are okay. But you made a big mess. Look at the table. There are crumbs and saliva everywhere. You need to help me clean it up." + +Tommy says, "Okay, Mommy. I will help you. But can I have a real candy after?" + +His mom smiles and says, "Maybe. If you are a good boy and clean up the messy table." +Anna liked to imagine that she was a princess in a big castle. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown and a white horse. She played with her dolls and pretended they were her friends. She was happy in her castle. + +But one day, the weather was very bad. The sky was dark and loud. The wind was strong and cold. The rain was heavy and wet. Anna heard thunder and saw lightning. She was scared. She ran to her bed and hid under the covers. She wished the weather would stop. + +She heard a knock on her door. It was her mom. She came in and saw Anna under the covers. She smiled and hugged her. She said, "Don't be scared, my princess. The weather is just making noise. It will be over soon. I'm here with you. You are safe in your castle." + +Anna felt better. She peeked out of the covers and saw her mom's face. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom in the world. Can you stay with me until the weather is nice again?" + +Mom said, "Of course, my princess. I love you very much. Let's imagine that we are in a sunny garden with flowers and butterflies. Do you want to do that?" + +Anna nodded. She smiled and snuggled with her mom. She closed her eyes and imagined that she was in a sunny garden with flowers and butterflies. She was happy in her castle. +Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a stream with clear water and many rocks. They wanted to see what was in the stream, so they walked closer. + +"Look, Ben, a fish!" Mia said, pointing to a shiny silver shape in the water. "It is so graceful. It swims fast and smooth." + +"Can we catch it?" Ben asked, curious. He picked up a stick and tried to poke the fish, but it swam away. + +"No, Ben, that is not nice. The fish does not like that. It will be scared and hurt," Mia said, frowning. She put down her stick and looked for something else. + +She found a smooth, round stone. It was warm from the sun. She liked how it felt in her hand. She rubbed it with her fingers and smiled. + +"Look, Mia, a frog!" Ben said, pointing to a green and brown shape on a rock. "It is so funny. It hops and croaks." + +"Can we touch it?" Mia asked, curious. She put down her stone and walked towards the frog, but it jumped into the water. + +"No, Mia, that is not easy. The frog is too quick. It will be shy and wet," Ben said, laughing. He picked up his stick and looked for something else. + +He found a fluffy, yellow flower. It smelled sweet and tickled his nose. He liked how it looked in his hand. He rubbed it with his fingers and sneezed. + +They played with the stream and the things they found until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the fish and the frog and the flower. They thanked them for being their friends. They took their sticks and stones and walked back to their mom. They were happy and tired. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They get very dirty and messy. + +"Time to bathe, Lily and Ben!" Mom calls from the house. "You have to be clean for dinner. We have rice and chicken." + +Lily and Ben groan. They do not want to bathe. They want to play more. They run away from Mom. They hide behind a big tree. + +"Where are Lily and Ben?" Mom asks. She looks around. She sees their muddy footprints. She follows them to the tree. + +"Boo!" Lily and Ben shout. They jump out from behind the tree. They try to scare Mom. But Mom is not scared. She is angry. + +"Lily and Ben, that is not funny. That is dangerous. You could get hurt or lost. You have to listen to me. Now come on, let's go bathe." Mom says. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They know Mom is right. They say sorry to Mom. They hold her hand. They go to the house. They bathe in the tub. They wash off the mud. They put on clean clothes. They smell nice. + +They go to the kitchen. They see the rice and chicken on the table. They are hungry.

They wanted to see what was inside. + +They ran to the window and looked. They saw a big cake on a table. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat some. But the window was closed. They tried to open it, but it was locked. + +Tom had an idea. He saw a rock on the ground. He said, "I can break the window with this rock. Then we can get the cake." Jill said, "No, that is bad. We should not do that. That is not kind." But Tom did not listen. He threw the rock at the window. + +The window broke with a loud noise. The rock hit the cake and made a mess. Jill and Tom were scared. They heard someone coming. It was the owner of the house. He was angry. He saw the broken window and the ruined cake. He shouted, "Who did this? Who broke my window and spoiled my cake?" + +Jill and Tom tried to run away, but it was too late. The owner saw them and caught them. He was very mad. He said, "You are naughty children. You have to pay for what you did. You have to clean the window and the cake. And you have to sneeze a lot." Jill and Tom did not understand. They said, "Why do we have to sneeze?" The owner said, "Because I put pepper on the cake. It was a special cake for my birthday. And you ruined it. Now you will sneeze and sneeze and sneeze until you are sorry." He gave them a big plate of cake with pepper. He said, "Eat this and sneeze." + +Jill and Tom ate the cake. They did not like it. It was spicy and bitter. They started to sneeze. They sneezed and sneezed and sneezed. Their noses hurt. Their eyes watered. Their throats burned. They wished they had not broken the window and taken the cake. They wished they had been kind. They learned their lesson. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Lily has a pet cat named Snowy. Snowy is white and smooth and likes to sleep on Lily's bed.

I love you, Snowy." + +Snowy purrs and licks Lily's face. He says, "I love you too, Lily. You are my best friend." Lily smiles and says, "You are my best friend, too, Snowy. Let's go home and play."

The lamp says, "Hello, Sara and Ben. Do you want to hear a story?" + +"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say. They sit on the bed and listen to the lamp. + +The lamp tells them a story about a lion and a mouse. The lion is big and strong. The mouse is small and weak. The lion catches the mouse and wants to eat him. The mouse says, "Please, let me go. I can help you someday." The lion laughs and says, "How can you help me? You are too small." But he lets the mouse go. + +Later, the lion is thirsty. He goes to the river to drink. But he does not see a trap. He falls into a net. He roars and tries to break free. He cannot. He is scared. He thinks, "Who can help me now?" + +The mouse hears the lion's roar. He remembers the lion's kindness. He runs to the river. He sees the lion in the net. He says, "Don't worry, lion. I can help you." He bites the net with his teeth. He makes a hole. The lion can get out. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, mouse. You are brave and smart. You are my friend." + +Sara and Ben clap their hands. They like the story. They say, "Thank you, lamp. You are original and fun. You are our friend." They hug the lamp.

He drew circles, squares, stars and triangles. He liked triangles the best. He made them big and small, red and blue, green and yellow. + +One day, he saw a big triangle on the wall. It was shiny and gold. He wondered what was inside. He wanted to enter the triangle and see. He climbed on a chair and reached for the triangle. He touched it and it opened. + +Tom entered the triangle and saw many things. He saw toys, books, clothes and candies. He saw a bed, a table, a sofa and a TV. He saw a cat, a dog, a bird and a fish. He saw a man, a woman, a boy and a girl. They were smiling and happy. They were wealthy. + +Tom was amazed and curious. He wanted to play and explore. He said hello to the people and the animals.

He cried and banged on the triangle. He shouted for help. He hoped someone would hear him. He hoped someone would save him.

They saw many charming things, like shells, crabs, and birds. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then the sky became dark and the wind became strong. Mom and dad said they had to go home right away. There was a hurricane coming and they had to escape. Sara and Tom were scared and sad.

He likes to make it go fast and make loud noises. He has a big box of other toys, but he likes his motorcycle the best. + +One day, he finds a new toy in the box. It is a red rocket. It has a button that makes it light up and beep. Tom thinks it is cool. He wonders what it can do. + +He has an idea. He takes his motorcycle and his rocket to his dad. He asks his dad to help him.

They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and shells and seaweed. + +One day, they saw something big and pink and shiny in the water. It looked like a balloon with long strings. Tom wanted to touch it, but Anna stopped him. + +"Tom, no! That is a jellyfish. It can hurt you. Mom said so," Anna said. + +"But it is so pretty. I want to see it up close," Tom said. + +He reached out his hand, but Mom came and pulled him away. + +"Tom, Anna is right. Jellyfish can sting you with their strings. They are very lazy. They do not swim. They just spread in the water and wait for food. You have to be careful and stay away from them," Mom said. + +Tom and Anna nodded. They did not want to get stung. They decided to play with their buckets and shovels instead. They made a big castle in the sand and had fun. They forgot about the jellyfish. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are playing with a toy phone. The phone has a wire that connects two parts. One part is for talking and the other part is for listening. + +Lila holds the talking part and says, "Hello, this is Lila. What is your number?" + +Tom holds the listening part and says, "Hi, Lila. My number is five. What is your number?" + +Lila says, "My number is three. Do you want to play a game?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I want to play a game.

They liked to make funny shapes with their hands on the wall of the tent. + +"Look, I can make a bunny!" Lily said, holding up two fingers. + +"I can make a bird!" Tom said, spreading his thumb and pinky. + +They laughed and tried to make more animals. Then, the flashlight started to flicker. + +"Oh no, the flashlight is changing!" Lily said, worried. + +"Maybe it needs new batteries," Tom said. + +They crawled out of the tent and ran to the house. They asked their mom for new batteries. She was nice and gave them some. + +"Here you go, kids. Be careful with the flashlight, okay?" she said. + +"Thank you, mom!" Lily and Tom said. + +They ran back to the tent with the new batteries. They put them in the flashlight and turned it on. It was bright and steady again. + +"Yay, the flashlight is fixed!" Lily said, happy. + +"Let's make more shapes!"

Maybe it is a big picture book," Tom says. + +They open the newspaper and see many words and photos. They do not understand the words. They see a photo of a man and a woman dancing. + +"Look, they are dancing!" Sara says. + +"Let's dance too!" Tom says. + +They put the newspaper on the floor and stand on it. They try to copy the man and the woman. They move their arms and legs. They spin and jump. They have fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the newspaper on the floor. She sees Sara and Tom dancing on it. She is confused. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We are dancing!" Sara and Tom say. + +Mom smiles. She picks up the newspaper and folds it. + +"This is not a picture book. This is a newspaper. It has news and stories and information. You can read it when you are older," Mom says. + +"Can we dance on it?" Sara and Tom ask. + +"No, you can't. You can dance on the rug or on the grass. But not on the newspaper. It can tear or get dirty," Mom says. + +She gives them the rug and the grass. She puts the newspaper on the table. + +Sara and Tom take the rug and the grass. They go to the living room. They put the rug on the floor and the grass on the rug. They dance on the rug and the grass. They are happy. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the river. They had a big raft that they could sit on and paddle with sticks. They pretended they were explorers, looking for new lands and animals. + +One day, they saw a distant island in the middle of the river. It had tall trees and bright flowers. They wanted to go there and see what was there. + +"Let's go to the island, Anna!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or some friendly monkeys!" + +"OK, Tom, but we have to be careful. The river is fast and deep. We have to hold on to the raft and not fall off," Anna said. + +They paddled hard with their sticks, and the raft moved towards the island. The water splashed on their faces and made them laugh. They felt excited and brave. + +They reached the island and jumped off the raft. They tied it to a branch so it would not float away. They looked around and saw many things they had never seen before. There were strange fruits, colorful birds, and soft grass. + +They explored the island and had fun. They picked some fruits and ate them. They played with the birds and made them sing. They lay down on the grass and looked at the sky. + +They felt happy and peaceful.

They sang songs and told stories. + +They lived on the island for many days, and they loved it. They forgot about the river and the distant shore. They felt like they were in a dream. They were the happiest explorers in the world. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a pink doll and Ben had a blue car.

"I want to play with your car for a little bit, and you can play with my doll for a little bit." + +Ben nodded. "OK, let's trade." He gave his car to Lily and took her doll. They both smiled and started to play with their new toys. + +But after a few minutes, they heard a loud noise. It was Lily's big brother, Jake. He came into the living room and saw them playing. + +"Ha ha ha!" Jake laughed. "Look at Ben, he is playing with a doll! How silly! How funny! How embarrassed!" + +Ben felt his face get hot. He did not like Jake's laugh. He did not like Jake's words. He did not feel silly or funny or embarrassed. He felt angry and sad. + +"Stop it, Jake!" Lily said. "You are being mean! Ben can play with whatever he wants! And I can play with whatever I want! It is not your business!" + +Jake did not stop. He kept laughing and teasing. He grabbed the doll from Ben and held it high. "Give it back!" Ben shouted. He tried to reach the doll, but Jake was too tall. + +Lily had an idea. She used her car to bump Jake's leg. Jake was surprised and lost his balance. He dropped the doll and fell on the floor. Ben caught the doll and hugged it. Lily drove the car to Ben and smiled. + +"Here, let's trade back," she said. "I like my doll better, and you like your car better. But we can trade again anytime we want." + +Ben nodded. He gave the doll to Lily and took the car. They both smiled and started to play with their toys again. + +Jake got up and rubbed his leg. He felt silly and funny and embarrassed. He did not laugh or tease anymore. He left the living room and went to his room. Lily and Ben did not care. They were happy and proud. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used water from the sink. + +But they used too much water. The sink was full and the water spilled over. It made a big mess on the floor. Lily and Ben were anxious. They did not want Mommy to see the mess. They tried to clean it up with towels and paper. + +Mommy came into the kitchen. She saw the water and the towels and the paper. She was not happy. She shouted at Lily and Ben. + +"What are you doing? You made a big mess! You are not chefs, you are naughty children! You have to stop playing with the sink and the water. You have to help me clean up. Now!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They did not mean to make Mommy angry. They said they were sorry. They helped Mommy clean up the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They did not play with the sink and the water again. They played with other toys instead. +Lily and Sam were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They found a big box with a lot of books and pictures. Sam opened one book and saw a map. It had many colors and shapes and lines. + +"Look, Lily, a map!" Sam said. "Do you know what a map is?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not know what a map was. She only knew that it looked pretty. + +"A map is a picture of a place," Sam explained. "You can see where things are and where you can go. See, this is our country, and this is the sea, and this is another country." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the map and see the colors and shapes and lines. She reached out her hand and touched the map. But the map was very old and thin. It ripped when Lily touched it. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I broke the map! Grandma will be mad!" + +Sam was scared too. He did not want Grandma to be mad. He did not want Lily to be sad. He looked around and saw some tape. He had an idea. + +"Don't worry, Lily," Sam said. "We can fix the map. We can use the tape and put the pieces together. Then Grandma will not know. Come on, help me." + +Lily nodded. She was still anxious, but she wanted to help Sam. They worked together and taped the map. It did not look perfect, but it looked better. They put the map back in the book and the book back in the box. They hoped that Grandma would not notice. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were happy that they fixed the map. They were happy that they had each other. They decided to play with something else. They did not touch the map again. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. Lily wants the doll and Tom wants the car. They do not like to share. + +One day, their aunt comes to visit. She brings a big box. Lily and Tom are happy. They think it is a new toy for them. They rush to the box and try to open it. They pull and push and tear the paper. + +But inside the box, there is no toy. There is a cake. A big, yummy cake. It is for their aunt's birthday. Lily and Tom are sad. They do not like cake. They want a toy. + +Their aunt sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Lily and Tom, you are selfish.

They hug her and say, "Happy birthday, aunt. We love you. We will share our toys with you." + +Their aunt smiles. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. I love you too. You are not selfish. You are sweet. We can still eat the cake. It is a bit messy, but it is still good." + +They all go to the kitchen. They cut the cake and eat it. They laugh and talk. They have fun. Lily and Tom are happy. They learned to share. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big jug on the table. The jug was shiny and had pretty flowers on it. Lily and Ben wanted to see what was inside the jug. + +They climbed on the chairs and reached for the jug. But the jug was heavy and slippery. It fell from their hands and broke on the floor. The jug was full of juice and the juice spilled everywhere. The juice stained the carpet and the chairs. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They knew the jug was expensive and belonged to Ben's mom. They tried to hide the broken pieces and the juice, but they could not. Ben's mom came home and saw the mess. She was very angry and disappointed. She said they had to pay for the jug and the carpet. She said they had to learn to care for other people's things and not touch what was not theirs. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with the jug. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned to care for other people's things and not touch what was not theirs. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. Tom is very organized. He puts the blocks in neat piles by color and shape. Sue is not very organized. She mixes the blocks and throws them around. + +One day, Tom and Sue are playing with blocks in Tom's room. Tom is making a big tower with red and blue blocks.

Go find your own blocks," Tom says. + +"But I have no more blocks. Please, Tom, just give me a few. I will give them back," Sue begs. + +"No, Sue, go away. You are not organized. You will mess up my tower," Tom says. + +Sue gets angry. She does not like Tom's words. She does not like Tom's tower. She wants to make Tom sad. She runs to Tom's tower and pushes it hard. The tower falls down and breaks. The blocks fly everywhere. + +Tom hears a loud noise. He sees his tower broken. He sees Sue smiling. He feels very sad. He starts to cry. + +"Sue, why did you do that? You are a bad friend. You broke my tower. You made me cry. Go away. I don't want to play with you anymore," Tom says. + +Sue hears Tom's words. She sees Tom crying. She feels a little sorry. But she also feels happy. She made Tom sad. She won the fight. She does not care about Tom's tower. She does not care about Tom's feelings.

They have a ball and a bike. They take turns to kick the ball and ride the bike. + +One day, Tom wants to ride the bike more. He does not want to share with Sue. He says, "It is my bike. You can not have it. Go away!" + +Sue is sad and angry. She says, "That is not fair. You are mean. I want to play too!" + +Tom does not listen. He rides the bike fast. He does not see the rock. He hits the rock and falls. He hurts his knee. His knee is red and bleeding. He cries. + +Sue sees Tom. She runs to him. She says, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" + +Tom is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Sue. I was bad. I should have shared with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Sue is kind. She says, "I forgive you, Tom. But you need to wear a bandage on your knee. It will make it better. Come, I will help you." + +They go to the bench. Sue finds a bandage in her bag. She puts it on Tom's knee. She says, "There, that is better. Now you can play again. But be careful." + +Tom says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. I will be careful. And I will share with you. Do you want to ride the bike now?" + +Sue says, "No, thank you. I do not want to ride the bike. I want to play with the ball. The bike is too dangerous. You can keep it." + +Tom is sad. He does not want to play with the bike anymore. He wants to play with the ball. But Sue does not want to share with him. She says, "It is my ball. You can not have it. Go away!" + +The end. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big boat that can float on water. The boat is unique, because it has a red flag, a blue sail, and a yellow horn. + +One day, Tim and Kim decide to take their boat to the pond in the park. They are very happy and excited, because they want to see the ducks and the fish. They put their boat on the water and watch it sail. The boat makes a loud honk with its horn, and the ducks come closer. + +"Look, Kim, the ducks like our boat!" Tim says. + +"Yes, they do, Tim. They are so cute and fluffy!" Kim says. + +But then, one of the ducks tries to bite the boat's flag. Tim does not like that. He thinks the duck is mean and wants to take his boat. He gets angry and slaps the duck on the head. + +"Ouch! That hurts!" the duck quacks. + +"Tim, why did you do that?" Kim asks. "That is not nice. You should not slap the duck. The duck is just curious." + +"I don't care. The duck is bad. The boat is mine. Go away, duck!" Tim shouts. + +Kim feels sad and sorry for the duck. She thinks Tim is being selfish and rude. She does not want to play with him anymore. She takes the boat from the water and gives it to the duck. + +"Here, duck, you can have the boat. It is unique, like you. I hope you like it." Kim says. + +The duck is surprised and happy. It takes the boat and swims away with it. It makes a friendly quack and waves its wing. + +"Thank you, Kim. You are very kind. I love the boat. It is fun and pretty." the duck says. + +Kim smiles and waves back. She feels good and proud. She does not need the boat to have fun. She can make new friends. + +"Bye, duck. Have a good day. Maybe we can play again sometime." Kim says. + +She turns to Tim and says, "Tim, you should say sorry to the duck. You were wrong to slap it. The boat is not only yours. We should share our toys and be nice to others." + +Tim feels ashamed and sorry. He realizes he made a mistake. He wants to make up with Kim and the duck. He runs after them and says, "Kim, duck, wait for me. I am sorry. I was mean and silly. Can we be friends again? Can we play with the boat together?" + +Kim and the duck stop and look at Tim. They see that he is sincere and sorry. They forgive him and invite him to join them. + +"Okay, Tim. We accept your sorry. We can be friends again. We can play with the boat together. But you have to be gentle and respectful. Can you do that?" Kim says. + +"Yes, I can. I promise. Thank you, Kim. Thank you, duck. You are both very nice. I like you both." Tim says. + +They hug and smile. They go back to the pond and play with the boat. They take turns to sail it, honk it, and wave the flag. They have fun and laugh. They are happy and unique. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play all day. She had many toys and books and friends to have fun with. But when the sun went down and it was night, she had to go to bed. Sometimes she did not want to go to bed, because she wanted to play more. + +One night, she was very tired, but she did not want to sleep. She said to her mom, "I do not want to go to bed. I want to play with my doll." Her mom said, "Lily, you have to go to bed. You played a lot today, and you need to rest. Tomorrow you can play more. Come on, let's go to your room." + +Lily followed her mom to her room, but she was not happy. She did not want to put on her pajamas, or brush her teeth, or say good night to her dad. She wanted to play with her doll. Her mom said, "Lily, please do not be mad. It is time to sleep. Look, your doll is waiting for you in your bed. She is tired too. Why don't you give her a hug and a kiss, and tell her a story?" + +Lily looked at her doll, who had a pink dress and brown hair. She liked her doll very much. She picked her up and hugged her and kissed her. She said, "I am sorry, doll. I wanted to play with you more, but mom says we have to sleep. Do you want to hear a story?" Her doll nodded. Lily said, "Okay, I will tell you a story. It is about a little girl and a doll who had a very ordinary day. They did not do anything special, but they had a lot of fun. They played with toys and books and friends, and they laughed and sang and danced. They were very happy. Do you want to hear more?" + +Her doll nodded again. Lily said, "Okay, I will tell you more. But first, we have to relax. Relax means to be calm and quiet and cozy. Can you relax, doll?" Her doll nodded again. Lily said, "Good. Now, let's relax. Let's close our eyes and breathe slowly. Let's feel the soft pillow and the warm blanket. Let's listen to the quiet night. Let's think of happy things. Are you ready, doll?" Her doll nodded again. Lily said, "Okay, let's relax. And then I will tell you more of the story. But maybe we will fall asleep before I finish. That is okay, because we can dream of the story. And tomorrow we can play more. Good night, doll. I love you." And she kissed her doll again, and cuddled with her, and relaxed. And soon, they both fell asleep. And they had a very ordinary, but very nice, night. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to listen to stories before bed. Their mom would read them books or tell them tales from her own childhood. But one night, mom was very tired and said she could only tell them one story. + +"Can you tell us the story of the big bad wolf and the three pigs?" Lily asked. + +"No, we heard that one yesterday. How about the story of the princess and the frog?" Tom suggested. + +Mom shook her head. "No, that one is too long. I have a different story for you. It is about a boy who found an unusual egg in his backyard." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They had never heard this story before. They wondered what kind of egg it was and what would hatch from it. + +Mom began to tell them the story. She said the boy was very curious and took the egg inside his house. He put it in a warm place and waited for it to crack. But the egg did not crack for a long time. The boy started to complain. He said the egg was boring and he wanted to play with something else. + +"Maybe you should be more patient," mom said. "Maybe the egg needs more time to grow. Maybe it is a very special egg." + +Tom and Lily listened to mom. They wanted to know what would happen next. They hoped the egg would hatch soon and reveal a surprise. + +But mom stopped the story. She said it was time for bed and they had to wait until tomorrow to hear the rest. + +Tom and Lily were not happy. They wanted to hear the end of the story. They begged mom to continue. They said they could not sleep without knowing what was inside the egg. + +"Sorry, my loves, but you have to wait," mom said. "That is part of the fun of stories. They make you wonder and imagine. Maybe you can dream about the egg tonight and see what you think will come out of it." + +Tom and Lily pouted. They did not think it was fun to wait. They thought it was unfair. They complained some more, but mom did not change her mind. She kissed them good night and turned off the light. + +Tom and Lily lay in their beds. They looked at each other in the dark. They were still curious and annoyed. They whispered to each other. + +"What do you think is in the egg?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a dinosaur. Or a dragon. Or a unicorn," Lily said. + +"Or maybe a monster. Or a snake. Or a spider," Tom said. + +They shivered. They did not like those ideas. They wished mom had told them the end of the story. They wondered if they would ever find out. They closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they could not stop thinking about the unusual egg. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight. + +One day, they are playing with cars and trucks on the floor. They make noises like vroom and beep. They pretend there is traffic on the road. They have to stop and go and wait. + +Tom sees a huge truck. It is red and shiny. It has big wheels and a loud horn. He wants to play with it. He grabs it from Anna. + +"Hey, that is my truck!" Anna says. She is angry. She tries to take it back. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He is angry too. He holds it tight. + +They pull and tug and shout. They fight over the huge truck. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. + +"Stop fighting, Tom and Anna!" Mom says. "You have to share your toys. Fighting is not nice." + +She takes the huge truck from them. She puts it on the shelf. + +"Now, you can play with other cars and trucks. Or you can play something else. But no more fighting, OK?" Mom says. + +Tom and Anna nod. They are sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug. + +They look at their cars and trucks. They find some they like. They start to play again. They share and take turns. They have fun. + +They forget about the huge truck. They are happy. +Ben was hungry. He wanted some milk. He saw a big bottle of milk on the table. He tried to reach it, but it was too high. He got a chair and climbed on it. He stretched his arm, but he still could not touch the bottle. + +"Mommy, help me!" he cried. "I want milk!" + +Mommy came into the kitchen. She saw Ben on the chair. She smiled and lifted him up. + +"Here you go, sweetie," she said. "You can have some milk. But be careful, don't spill it." + +She gave him the bottle and a straw. Ben was happy. He drank the milk. It was cold and sweet. He felt full and warm. + +"Thank you, Mommy," he said. "I love you." + +"I love you too, Ben," Mommy said. "You did a good job. You tried to get the milk by yourself. You almost succeeded. Next time, you can ask me for help. OK?" + +"OK, Mommy," Ben said. He hugged her and gave her a kiss. He was proud of himself. He learned a new word: succeed. He wanted to succeed more. He wanted to learn more. He wanted to grow up. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their houses. One day, they saw a new fence around a big tree. The fence had many colors and shapes. It looked unusual. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone made it for fun," Ben said. + +"Can we go and see it?" Lily wondered. + +Ben looked around. He did not see any signs or people. He nodded. "Okay, but we have to be careful. Maybe the fence is not strong." + +They walked to the fence and touched it. It felt soft and warm. They heard a sound from the tree. It was like a song. + +"Hello, little ones," a voice said. + +Lily and Ben jumped back. They were scared. Who was talking to them? + +"Who are you?" Ben asked. + +"I am a fairy. I live in this tree. I made this fence to protect my home. Do you like it?" the voice said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They had never seen a fairy before. They were curious. + +"Yes, we like it. It is very pretty," Lily said. + +"Thank you. You are very kind. Do you want to see me?" the voice said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to see the fairy. + +"Then come closer. Don't be afraid. I will not hurt you," the voice said. + +Lily and Ben walked to the fence again. They saw a small hole in it. They peeked inside. They saw a bright light. The light moved and changed. It became a fairy. The fairy had wings and a dress. She smiled at them. + +"Hello, I am Flora. You are Lily and Ben, right?" the fairy said. + +"Yes, we are. How do you know our names?" Lily asked. + +"I know many things. I can hear your thoughts and feelings. You are good friends. You encourage each other. I like that," the fairy said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They felt happy. They had made a new friend. + +"Can we play with you?" Ben asked. + +"Of course. I have many games and stories to share. Come inside. I will show you my world," the fairy said. + +She opened the fence wider. She invited Lily and Ben to enter. They followed her. They entered a magical place. They had a lot of fun. They learned many things. They forgot about time. They did not want to leave. They had found a unusual treasure. +Lily liked to make poems. She used words that rhymed and sounded nice. She wanted to share her poems with her friends at school. She prepared a big book with her poems and drawings. + +One day, she brought her book to school. She showed it to her teacher, Miss Rose. Miss Rose smiled and said, "What a jolly book, Lily! You are very creative. Would you like to read one of your poems to the class?" + +Lily nodded and felt happy. She opened her book and chose her favorite poem. It was about a cat and a hat. She read it out loud, with a clear voice and a big smile. + +The class listened and clapped. They liked Lily's poem. They said it was funny and clever. Lily felt proud and thanked them. She said, "I have more poems in my book. Do you want to hear them?" + +The class said yes and cheered. Lily read more poems to them. They laughed and enjoyed them. They asked Lily to make more poems. Lily said she would. She loved to make poems and share them with her friends. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, eat ice cream and watch cartoons. One day, they saw a big storm in the sky. They heard loud noises and saw bright flashes. They were scared of the lightning. + +"Let's go home, Sara," Ben said. "The lightning is scary." + +"No, Ben," Sara said. "Let's stay here and pretend we are married. Then the lightning won't hurt us." + +"Okay, Sara," Ben said. "But how do we pretend we are married?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She remembered what her mommy and daddy did when they got married. She took Ben's hand and said, "We have to say 'I love you' and give each other a kiss." + +Ben nodded. He liked Sara very much. He said, "I love you, Sara. You are my best friend." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. + +Sara smiled. She said, "I love you, Ben. You are my best friend too." She gave him a kiss on the cheek too. + +They hugged each other and felt happy. They did not notice the lightning anymore. They only saw each other's eyes. + +A chubby squirrel watched them from a tree. He thought they were silly. He did not understand why they kissed. He liked to eat nuts and run around. He did not need a friend to do that. He shrugged and went back to his nuts. He did not care about the lightning either. He was a brave squirrel. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make buildings with blocks. They make tall buildings and wide buildings. They are happy. + +But one day, a new boy comes to play. His name is Ben. Ben does not like blocks. He likes cars. He has many cars. He drives his cars on the floor. He drives his cars fast and loud. + +Tom and Sam do not like Ben's cars. Ben's cars crash into their buildings. Their buildings fall down. They are sad and angry. They tell Ben to stop. But Ben does not stop. He says his cars are better than their blocks. He says their buildings are silly and boring. He does not believe in their buildings. + +Tom and Sam are very mad. They want to make Ben go away. They think of a plan. They use their blocks to make a trap. They make a big hole in the floor. They cover the hole with a wide block. They put a car on the block.

Sara said to Lily. "It is so pretty and soft. Do you want to try it on?" + +Lily nodded. She also liked the skirt. She took it from Sara and put it on. She twirled around and smiled. "It is very nice. Can I keep it?" she asked. + +Sara frowned. She wanted her skirt back. She did not want to share it. "No, it is mine. Give it to me!" she said. She pulled the skirt from Lily. + +Lily was sad. She did not expect Sara to be so mean. She felt the skirt tear in her hands. She gasped. "Oh no! Look what you did! You broke your skirt!" she said. + +Sara looked at the skirt. It had a big hole in it. She was angry and sad. She blamed Lily. "You are a bad friend! You ruined my skirt! Go away!" she said. She threw the skirt on the floor and ran to her room. + +Lily was hurt. She did not want to fight with Sara. She wanted to say sorry and fix the skirt. She picked up the skirt and followed Sara. She knocked on her door. "Sara, please listen to me. I am sorry. I did not mean to tear your skirt. Can we be friends again?" she said. + +Sara heard Lily's voice. She felt a pang in her heart. She remembered how much she liked Lily. She realized she was wrong to be selfish and rude. She opened the door and saw Lily holding the skirt. She saw the tears in Lily's eyes. She felt sorry too. She hugged Lily. "I am sorry too. I should have shared with you. You are a good friend. Can you forgive me?" she said. + +Lily smiled. She forgave Sara. She hugged her back. "Of course I forgive you. You are a good friend too. Can we fix the skirt together?" she said. + +Sara nodded. They went to Sara's mom and asked for help. Sara's mom was happy to see them make up. She helped them sew the skirt. It was not as shiny as before, but it was still pretty. Sara and Lily decided to take turns wearing it. They learned to listen to each other and share. They were best friends again. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pretty dress. Lily took Anna everywhere. She was a popular doll. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with Mommy. They saw a big slide and a swing. Lily wanted to try them. She asked Mommy to hold Anna for her. Mommy said yes and put Anna on a bench. + +Lily had fun on the slide and the swing. She made new friends. She forgot about Anna for a while. She did not see the bad boy who came to the bench. He had a bottle in his hand. It was not a nice bottle. It had fire in it. He liked to burn things. + +He saw Anna on the bench. He did not like dolls. He thought they were silly.

They liked to pretend they were cooking and eating yummy food. They had a lot of plastic food, like apples, bananas, bread, cheese, and eggs. They also had some fake food, like a cake, a pizza, and a burger. + +One day, they decided to make a soup with their plastic food. They put some water in a big pot and added some bread, cheese, and eggs. They stirred it with a big spoon and said it smelled good. Then they saw a white bottle on the shelf. It had the word "salt" on it. + +"Let's add some salt to our soup," Lily said. "It will make it taste better." + +"OK," Tom said. He took the bottle and opened it. He poured some salt into the pot. But the salt did not look like salt. It looked like glitter. And it did not taste like salt. It tasted like sugar. + +"Yuck!" Lily and Tom said. They spat out the soup. "This is not salt. This is fake salt. It is sweet and shiny. It is not good for soup." + +They looked at the bottle again. It had a sticker on it that said "April Fools". They realized that someone had played a trick on them. They wondered who it was. + +They decided to discuss it with their mom. They went to find her in the living room. They told her what happened. They showed her the bottle of fake salt. They asked her who did it. + +Mom smiled. She said it was her. She said she wanted to make them laugh. She said she was sorry if they did not like it.

They hugged her. Then they went back to their toy kitchen. They made a new soup with real salt. They tasted it. It was yummy. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today is a special day. They are going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They are very excited. + +"Tom, Lily, wake up! It's morning!" Mom calls from downstairs. "We have to hurry and get ready. The zoo opens soon." + +Tom and Lily jump out of bed. They put on their clothes and shoes. They brush their teeth and hair. They run downstairs. They see Mom and Dad waiting for them. They have a big bag with snacks and drinks. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Dad asks. "We have a long drive to the zoo. Do you have everything you need?" + +"Yes, Dad!" Tom and Lily say. "We have our hats and sunglasses. We have our books and toys. We have our tickets and maps." + +"Good job, kids!" Mom says. "You are very helpful. Let's go to the car. We don't want to miss the animals." + +Tom and Lily follow Mom and Dad to the car. They buckle their seat belts. They wave goodbye to their house. They start their adventure to the zoo. They can't wait to see the lions and tigers and bears. They are very happy. +Sara liked purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple bike. She wanted to show her bike to her friend Tom, who lived next door. She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom nodded and said, "Be careful, Sara. Look both ways before you cross the street." + +Sara put on her hat and rode her bike to Tom's house. She saw Tom playing with his ball in the yard. She waved and said, "Hi, Tom. Look at my purple bike. Do you like it?" Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Sara. Your bike is very pretty. Can I try it?" + +Sara was happy to share her bike with Tom. She got off and said, "Sure, Tom. You can try it. But be careful. It is very fast." Tom nodded and said, "OK, Sara. I will be careful." He got on the bike and started to pedal. He liked how the bike felt. He went faster and faster. + +Sara watched Tom ride her bike. She was proud of her bike. She hoped Tom would not break it. She saw a car coming down the street. She shouted, "Tom, stop!

She wished she had not shown him her purple bike. She wished he was OK. But he was not. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of salad, some bread, and some cheese. They also had a bunch of celery that Mom had given them. + +"Let's make a soup with the celery," Ben said. He took a knife and tried to cut the celery. But the knife was too dull and the celery was too hard. He could not cut it. + +"Here, let me try," Lily said. She took the knife and the celery. She pushed hard on the knife, but it did not work either. She got angry and threw the celery on the floor. + +"Hey, don't do that!" Ben said. He picked up the celery and put it back on the table. "We have to be quiet. Mom is sleeping in the other room. She has a big headache and needs rest." + +Lily felt sorry. She did not want to make Mom feel worse. She said sorry to Ben and hugged him.

"Here, Lily, you can use this to fix your sweater. It is the same color and it has a heart too. Don't cry, Lily, I am your friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged Sara. She thanked her for being so kind and generous. She used the piece of Sara's sweater to sew the hole in her own sweater. It looked almost as good as new. Lily and Sara played together happily. + +But when Sara got home, she felt guilty. She had cut her new sweater without asking her mom. She knew her mom would be angry and sad. She had worked hard to buy her the sweater. She had told her how much she loved it. Sara hid her sweater in her closet and hoped her mom would not notice. + +The next morning, her mom came to her room. She had Sara's sweater in her hand. She looked at Sara with a serious face.

They like to play together. Lily has a doll. Ben has a car. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Lily wants to teach Ben how to make a dress for her doll. She has some cloth and scissors. She says, "Ben, I can teach you how to make a dress. It is easy and fun. Do you want to try?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I want to try. How do we make a dress?" + +Lily shows him how to cut the cloth and wrap it around the doll. She says, "You have to cut a big piece of cloth. Then you have to fold it and wrap it around the doll. You can use a pin to hold it. See? Now the doll has a dress." + +Ben follows her instructions and makes a dress for his car. He says, "Look, Lily, I made a dress for my car. It is blue and yellow. Do you like it?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, I like it. It is very pretty. You are good at making dresses. You are a good friend." + +They hug and laugh. They have a good time.

It was shiny and had a lock on it. + +"Wow, what is this?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe it has treasure inside!" Mia said. + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard.

He thought he was very clever. + +But he did not see the big dog that was guarding the garden. The dog saw the thief and barked loudly. He chased the thief and bit his leg. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the thief screamed. + +He dropped the box and limped away. The dog picked up the box and brought it back to Tom and Mia. + +"Good boy, good boy!" they said. + +They hugged the dog and thanked him. They opened the box and saw the treasure inside. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. + +"Maybe we should give it back to the lady who lost it," Mia said. + +They agreed that it was the right thing to do. They called their mom and told her what happened. She was very proud of them. She helped them find the lady and return the box. The lady was very happy and gave them a reward. + +Tom and Mia learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is not nice to steal, and that it is good to be honest and kind. They also learned that their dog was a hero. They played with him and gave him a big bone. They settled in their tree house and had a wonderful day. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make new things with paper and crayons. Anna made a card for her grandma, who lived far away. She drew a flower and wrote "I love you" on it. Ben made a lamp with a paper cup and a flashlight. He cut a hole in the cup and put the flashlight inside. He turned it on and off and made shadows on the wall. + +"Look, Anna, I made a lamp!" Ben said. "It is bright and pretty." + +"That is a nice lamp, Ben," Anna said. "But you know what? I made a card for grandma. She will be happy when she sees it." + +"How will she see it?" Ben asked. "She lives far away." + +"We can mail it to her," Anna said. "Daddy can help us. He knows how to mail things." + +Anna and Ben ran to find their daddy. He was in the kitchen, making lunch. They showed him their card and their lamp. + +"Wow, you made these?" Daddy said. "They are very good. I like your card, Anna. And your lamp, Ben. You are very creative." + +"Thank you, Daddy," Anna and Ben said. "Can you help us mail the card to grandma?" + +"Of course, I can," Daddy said. "But we need an envelope and a stamp. Do you know where they are?" + +Anna and Ben thought hard. They knew what an envelope and a stamp were, but they did not know where to find them. They looked around the kitchen, but they did not see them. + +"Maybe they are in the office," Anna said. + +"Let's go and see," Ben said. + +They followed their daddy to the office. He opened a drawer and took out an envelope and a stamp. He showed them how to put the card inside the envelope and stick the stamp on it. He wrote grandma's address on it. + +"See, this is how you mail a card," Daddy said. "Now we have to take it to the mailbox." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were excited to mail their card to grandma. They hoped she would like it. + +They put on their coats and shoes and went outside with their daddy. He held their hands as they walked to the mailbox. It was a big, blue box with a slot on it. Daddy lifted Anna and Ben up and let them put the envelope in the slot. + +"There, you did it," Daddy said. "You mailed your card to grandma. She will get it in a few days." + +"Yay!" Anna and Ben said. "We mailed our card to grandma. We love you, grandma." + +They hugged their daddy and smiled. They were proud of themselves. They had done something difficult, but they had done it well. They wondered what grandma would say when she got their card. Maybe she would mail them a card back. Or maybe she would call them on the phone. Or maybe she would come and visit them. They hoped so. They missed her a lot. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the view. They could see the big hill, the blue sky, and the white clouds. Sometimes they saw birds and planes too. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than them and had a mean face. He came to their bench and said, "This is my spot. Go away!" He pushed Lily and Ben and made them fall. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They ran to the swings and hid behind them. They hugged each other and cried. They wished the new boy would leave them alone. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their teacher, Miss Rose. She had come to the park with some other kids from their class. She saw Lily and Ben and asked, "What's wrong, my dears?" + +Lily and Ben told her about the new boy and how he was mean to them. Miss Rose looked troubled. She said, "That's not nice at all. He shouldn't do that. Come with me, I'll talk to him." + +Miss Rose took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked to the bench. She saw the new boy sitting there, looking bored. She said, "Hello, I'm Miss Rose. I'm Lily and Ben's teacher. What's your name?" + +The new boy shrugged and said, "Tom." + +Miss Rose said, "Tom, I heard you were rude to Lily and Ben. Why did you do that?" + +Tom looked down and said, "I don't know. I'm new here. I don't have any friends. I'm lonely." + +Miss Rose said, "I'm sorry you feel that way, Tom. But being mean is not the way to make friends. You should be kind and share. Lily and Ben are very nice. They like to play and look at the view. Maybe you can join them and be friends." + +Tom looked at Lily and Ben. They looked at him. They were still scared, but they felt sorry for him too. They nodded and said, "Okay." + +Miss Rose smiled and said, "That's good. Why don't you say sorry to Lily and Ben and give them a hug?" + +Tom said sorry and hugged Lily and Ben. They hugged him back. They felt better. Miss Rose said, "That's very sweet. How about a kiss too?" + +Lily and Ben giggled and kissed Tom on the cheek. Tom blushed and smiled. He said, "Thank you. Can we play now?" + +Miss Rose said, "Of course. Have fun, kids. And be nice to each other." + +Lily and Ben and Tom ran to the slide and played together. They laughed and had fun. They looked at the view and saw a rainbow. They were happy. They were friends. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play games. They had a game where they turned on the faucet and tried to catch the water in a cup. The one who filled the cup first would win. Ben was older and faster than Sam, so he always won. Sam was sad and angry. + +One day, Sam had a plan. He found a big pot and hid it under the sink. He told Ben he wanted to play the faucet game again. Ben agreed and they went to the bathroom. Sam said he would go first and turned on the faucet. He quickly filled his cup and said he won. Ben was surprised and said it was his turn. He turned on the faucet and tried to fill his cup. + +But Sam had turned the faucet to the hot water. The water was very hot and burned Ben's hand. Ben screamed and dropped his cup. He ran to the door, but Sam had locked it. Sam laughed and said he won. He took the pot and poured the hot water on Ben. Ben was hurt and fearful. He cried and begged Sam to stop. But Sam did not stop. He poured all the water on Ben until Ben stopped moving. Sam had won, but he had done a bad thing. +One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They saw a big hill with green grass and yellow flowers. They wanted to have fun on the hill, so they asked their mom if they could roll down. + +"Sure, you can roll down the hill, but be careful and stay close to me," their mom said. She gave them a big smile and a hug. + +Tom and Anna ran to the top of the hill and lay down on the grass. They held hands and shouted, "Ready, set, go!" Then they rolled down the hill, laughing and spinning. They felt the wind on their faces and the sun on their hair. + +When they reached the bottom of the hill, they saw a big automobile parked near a tree. It was black and shiny, and it had four doors and four wheels. They had never seen an automobile like that before. It looked mysterious and cool. + +"Wow, look at that automobile!" Tom said. "I wonder who owns it and where it came from." + +"Maybe it belongs to a spy or a superhero," Anna said. "Maybe it can fly or go underwater." + +They walked closer to the automobile, curious and excited. They wanted to touch it and look inside. But as they approached, the automobile made a loud beep and flashed its lights. Tom and Anna jumped back, scared and surprised. + +"Hey, kids, stay away from that automobile!" a voice said. It came from a man who was wearing a suit and sunglasses. He came out of the tree and walked towards the automobile. He had a badge and a phone in his hand. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. + +"I'm a secret agent, and this is my special automobile," the man said. "It has many gadgets and secrets that you can't see or touch. It's not for playing, it's for working." + +"Wow, you are a spy!" Anna said. "That's so cool! Can you tell us some of your secrets?" + +"Sorry, kids, I can't tell you anything. It's classified," the man said. "Now, please go back to your mom and leave me alone. I have an important mission to do." + +The man got into his automobile and closed the door. He started the engine and drove away. Tom and Anna watched him go, amazed and disappointed. + +They ran back to their mom and told her what they saw and heard. Their mom listened and smiled. + +"That sounds like a very exciting and mysterious adventure," she said. "But remember, kids, not everything that looks cool is safe or good. Sometimes, it's better to keep your distance and respect other people's privacy." + +Tom and Anna nodded and hugged their mom. They learned a new lesson that day. They still liked to roll down the hill, but they also liked to be careful and respectful. +Anna liked to play golf with her dad. Golf was a game where you hit a small ball with a stick and try to make it go into a hole. Anna had a pink stick and a pink ball. Her dad had a big stick and a white ball. + +One day, they went to a big field with many holes and flags. There were many other people playing golf too. Anna saw some of her friends from school. They waved at her and said hello. Anna wanted to play with them, but her dad said they had to finish their game first. + +Anna and her dad took turns to hit their balls. Anna tried to hit her ball hard, but sometimes it went too far or too near. Her dad helped her and gave her tips. He said she had to look at the ball and swing the stick smoothly. He said she was doing great. + +When they came to the last hole, Anna saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She liked the pond and wanted to go closer. But her dad said they had to be careful and not hit the ball into the water. He said the water was deep and the ball would sink. + +Anna watched her dad hit his ball. It flew high and landed on the green grass near the hole. He smiled and said, "Good shot!" Then he gave Anna her stick and ball and said, "Your turn, sweetie." + +Anna paused and looked at the pond. She saw a duck swimming with her babies. She thought they were cute and wanted to feed them. She forgot about the ball and the hole. She dropped her stick and ran to the pond. She shouted, "Duckies, duckies, come here!" + +Her dad ran after her and said, "Anna, wait! Don't go to the pond! It's dangerous!" He caught her and lifted her up. He said, "You can't leave your ball and your stick. You have to finish the game. Then we can go to the pond and see the duckies, okay?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, daddy. I'm sorry. I want to finish the game. But can I feed the duckies later?" + +Her dad hugged her and said, "Of course, you can. You're a good girl. And you're a good golfer too. You're very popular with the duckies and with me." He kissed her and put her down. He gave her back her stick and ball and said, "Now, let's see if you can make this last shot. I bet you can do it." + +Anna smiled and said, "I can do it, daddy. Watch me." She looked at the ball and swung the stick smoothly. The ball flew high and landed on the green grass near the hole. She clapped and said, "Yay! I did it!" + +Her dad clapped and said, "Yay! You did it! You're amazing, Anna. You're the best golfer ever. I'm so proud of you." He picked her up and spun her around. He said, "You're my favorite golf partner. I love you, Anna." + +Anna hugged him and said, "I love you too, daddy. You're my favorite golf partner too. And my favorite daddy. Can we play golf again soon?" + +Her dad said, "Yes, we can. We can play golf anytime you want. And we can also feed the duckies. They're waiting for us. Come on, let's go." He carried her to the pond and they fed the duckies. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Dan and Sam are brothers. They like to play with bricks. They build towers and walls and houses with bricks. They have many bricks of different colors. + +One day, Dan and Sam hear a ring. It is the doorbell. They run to the door. They see a big box. It has a label. It says "More bricks for Dan and Sam". They are very happy. They open the box. They see many new bricks. They are shiny and bright. + +They take the box to their room. They want to play with the new bricks. They dump the bricks on the floor. They start to build. Dan builds a castle. Sam builds a bridge. They have fun. + +But then, Dan sees a brick that he likes. It is red and round. He wants it for his castle. He reaches for it. But Sam sees it too. He wants it for his bridge. He grabs it. They both hold the brick. + +"Give me the brick!" Dan says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam says. + +They pull the brick. They tug the brick. They do not let go. They get angry. They get frustrated. They yell at each other. + +They do not see the cat. The cat is curious. The cat sees the bricks. The cat jumps on the bricks. The bricks fall down. The castle falls down. The bridge falls down. The bricks make a loud noise. + +Dan and Sam stop pulling. They look at the bricks. They look at the cat. They are sad. They are sorry. They have no bricks to play with. They have no fun. They have a bad day. +One day, a boy named Tom went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see the animals and learn their names. He saw lions, monkeys, elephants and many more. + +When he came to the bird house, he saw a big bird with colorful feathers. It was a parrot. Tom wanted to talk to the parrot, so he said hello. + +"Hello, hello," the parrot said back. Tom was surprised and happy. He asked the parrot what its name was. + +"My name is Polly, Polly the parrot," the parrot said. "What is your name?" + +"My name is Tom, Tom the boy," Tom said. "You are incredible, Polly. You can talk like me." + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very nice," Polly said. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +"Yes, I do, Polly. You are my new friend," Tom said. + +They talked for a while, and Tom learned more about Polly and the other birds. He also met the guard who took care of the bird house. The guard was kind and told Tom some fun facts about the birds. + +Tom had a lot of fun at the zoo, but he liked the bird house the best. He said goodbye to Polly and the guard, and promised to come back soon. He was happy that he met an incredible parrot and a nice guard. He told his mom and dad all about his new friends. They smiled and hugged him. They were proud of Tom. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big wardrobe. They had many clothes and toys inside, and they pretended to be different people and animals. One day, they found a big hole in the back of the wardrobe. They crawled through it and saw a new place with trees and snow. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It's like a magic land!" + +"Let's explore!" Anna said. They ran around and saw a big lion, a friendly beaver, and a mean witch. The lion was the king of the land, and he was very kind and loyal. The beaver was his friend, and he helped them find food and shelter. The witch was his enemy, and she wanted to make the land always cold and dark. + +The witch saw the twins and was angry. She wanted to catch them and use them for her spells. She sent her wolves to chase them. The twins ran back to the wardrobe, but one of the wolves bit Ben's leg. He cried out in pain. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asked. She was scared and sad. + +"I'm hurt, Anna. It hurts a lot." Ben said. He was bleeding and shivering. + +"Quick, let's go back to the lion. He can heal you." Anna said. She helped Ben to stand up and they limped to the wardrobe. But the hole was gone. They were trapped in the witch's land. + +"What do we do now?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. But we have to stick together. We are twins, and we love each other." Anna said. She hugged Ben and hoped for a miracle. +Lily and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to explore and find new things. One day, they saw a cabin. It was old and brown. They wanted to see inside. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. He ran to the door. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He pushed and pulled, but it did not move. + +"Maybe there is a key," Lily said. She looked around. She saw a window. It was small and dirty. She climbed on a rock and peeked inside. She saw a table, a chair, and a fireplace. She also saw a key. It was on the table. + +"I see a key, Ben!" Lily said. She reached for the window. She wanted to open it and get the key. But she was clumsy. She slipped and fell. She hit the window. It broke with a loud noise. + +"Ow, Lily, are you okay?" Ben asked. He ran to her. He saw blood on her hand. She had cut herself on the glass. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. She cried. She was hurt and scared. + +"It's okay, Lily," Ben said. He hugged her. He took his shirt and wrapped it around her hand. He wanted to stop the blood. + +"Let's go home, Lily," Ben said. He helped her stand up. He held her hand. He looked at the cabin. He did not want to see inside anymore. He wanted to go home and see their mom. He hoped she would make them feel better. +Tom and Sue were playing in the living room when they heard a knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. It was the mailman with a big package for them. + +"Hello, Tom and Sue," the mailman said. "I have a package for you from your grandma. She said it is a surprise for your birthday." + +"Wow, thank you, mailman!" Tom and Sue said. They took the package and hugged it. It was heavy and soft. + +"Can we open it now, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful," mom said. She helped them cut the tape and open the box. Inside, there were two teddy bears, one brown and one white, with red bows around their necks. + +"Look, Sue, they are twins, like us!" Tom said. + +"They are so cute and fluffy!" Sue said. She hugged the white bear and gave the brown one to Tom. + +"Grandma is very nice," Tom said. + +"Yes, she is," Sue said. "We should call her and say thank you." + +They ran to the phone and dialed grandma's number. Mom helped them hold the phone. + +"Hello, grandma, it's Tom and Sue," they said. + +"Hello, my darlings, how are you?" grandma said. + +"We are very happy, grandma, because you sent us a package with two teddy bears," they said. + +"I'm glad you like them, sweeties," grandma said. "They are very special bears. They are not regular bears. They can talk to you if you mention their names." + +"Really, grandma? What are their names?" they asked. + +"Their names are Toby and Sally," grandma said. "They are very friendly and smart. They will keep you company and tell you stories." + +"Wow, that's amazing, grandma," they said. "We can't wait to talk to them. Thank you so much, grandma. We love you." + +"I love you too, my darlings. Happy birthday," grandma said. + +They said goodbye and hung up the phone. Then they turned to their teddy bears and said, "Hello, Toby and Sally.
