They liked to play with cars, balls and blocks. One day, they found a big box in the park. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tim said. + +"Maybe it's a present!" Sam said. + +They lifted the lid and saw a shiny object. It looked like a star, but it was metal and had buttons. They touched it and it made a loud noise. + +"Wow, what is it?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know, but it's cool!" Sam said. + +They took turns to press the buttons and watch the object light up and make sounds. They had fun with their new toy. + +But then, a man came running to the box. He looked angry and scared. He shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! Get away from that! That's not a toy, that's a bomb!" + +Tim and Sam were shocked and scared. They dropped the object and ran away. + +The man picked up the object and put it back in the box. He closed the lid and locked it. He looked around and saw Tim and Sam hiding behind a tree. + +"Sorry, kids, I didn't mean to scare you. But you can't play with that. It's very dangerous. It could explode and hurt you and everyone else. I'm a spy and I have to take it to a safe place. Please don't tell anyone what you saw, okay?" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They didn't understand what a spy or a bomb was, but they knew they had to listen to the man. He seemed dependable and sorry. + +The man smiled and thanked them. He took the box and left. Tim and Sam came out of their hiding place. They looked at each other and hugged. + +"That was scary!" Tim said. + +"Yeah, but we're okay!" Sam said. + +They decided to go home and tell their moms what happened. They hoped they would never see the object again. They learned that some things are not meant to be revealed. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play with their toy ship. They pretended to sail across the ocean and have adventures. One day, they found a big cardboard box in the garage and decided to make it into a real ship. They cut out windows and a door, and painted it blue and white. They also made a flag and a sail out of paper and sticks. + +They were very proud of their ship and wanted to show it to their friends. They asked their mom if they could take it to the park. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. She also gave them some snacks and water to take with them. + +Lily and Ben put their ship on a wagon and pulled it to the park. They found a nice spot under a tree and set up their ship. They invited their friends to join them and play. They had a lot of fun pretending to be pirates and explorers. They shared their snacks and water with their friends and told them stories. + +But then, a big boy came and saw their ship. He was mean and wanted to take it for himself. He pushed Lily and Ben and their friends away and climbed into their ship. He ripped their flag and sail and threw them on the ground. He laughed and said their ship was stupid and ugly. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They wanted to get their ship back, but they were afraid of the big boy. He was bigger and stronger than them. They didn't know what to do. + +Then, one of their friends, Sam, spoke up. He said, "Don't be afraid. We can get our ship back. We just have to work together and trust each other. We are brave and smart. We can make a plan and surprise him. Come on, let's go!" + +Lily and Ben looked at Sam and nodded. They trusted him and their friends. They were brave and smart. They made a plan and surprised the big boy. They used their sticks and paper to make swords and hats. They shouted and ran towards their ship. They scared the big boy and made him run away. They got their ship back and fixed their flag and sail. They cheered and hugged each other. + +They learned that if they work together and trust each other, they can overcome any challenge. They also learned to be kind and respectful to their things and to others. They thanked their friends and their mom for helping them. They played with their ship until it was time to go home. They had a happy day. +Ben and Mia were excited. Mom said they could help her fill the refrigerator with food. They put on their coats and shoes and went to the big store with Mom. + +At the store, they saw many things. There were fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, milk, eggs, and more. Mom gave them a list and a basket. She said they could choose some things from the list and put them in the basket. + +Ben and Mia looked at the list. They saw apples, carrots, yogurt, and cookies. They liked all those things. They ran to the shelves and picked some of them. They put them in the basket. They were happy. + +Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Ben and Mia. You are very helpful. Let's go to the cashier and pay for the food. Then we can go home and fill the refrigerator." + +Ben and Mia nodded and followed Mom. They waited in line and gave the basket to the cashier. The cashier scanned the food and put it in bags. Mom paid with her card and took the bags. She said, "Thank you, have a nice day." + +Ben and Mia said, "Thank you, bye." They helped Mom carry the bags to the car. They put the bags in the trunk and got in the car. They buckled their seat belts and drove home. + +At home, they took the bags out of the trunk and went to the kitchen. They opened the refrigerator and saw it was empty. They started to fill it with the food they bought. They put the apples, carrots, yogurt, and cookies in the right places. They also put the bread, cheese, milk, eggs, and other things in the refrigerator. They filled it up until it was full. + +Mom said, "Wow, you did a great job, Ben and Mia. The refrigerator looks nice and full. You are very smart and kind. How about we have some cookies and milk as a treat?" + +Ben and Mia said, "Yes, please. We love cookies and milk. Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Ben and Mia. You are my sweeties. Come on, let's enjoy our treat." + +They hugged Mom and went to the table. They took some cookies and poured some milk. They ate and drank and talked. They were excited and happy. They had a fun day. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with balloons. They had many balloons of different colors and shapes. They liked to blow them up, tie them, and bounce them in the air. Sometimes they made funny noises with them, or drew faces on them. + +One day, they were playing with balloons in their room, when they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom, who came to tell them something. + +"Tim and Kim, I have to go to the store for a while. Can you be good and not disturb your dad? He is working in his office and needs quiet." + +"Okay, mom, we will be good," Tim and Kim said. They hugged their mom and watched her leave. + +But after a few minutes, they got bored of playing with balloons. They wanted to do something more fun and exciting. They had a foolish idea. + +"Let's go and disturb dad!" Tim said. "We can pop some balloons in his office and make him jump!" + +"Yeah, let's do that!" Kim said. "It will be so funny!" + +They grabbed some balloons and sneaked out of their room. They tiptoed to their dad's office and opened the door. Their dad was sitting at his desk, typing on his computer. He did not see them. + +Tim and Kim smiled at each other and got ready to pop their balloons. They counted to three and squeezed them hard. But instead of popping, the balloons flew out of their hands and hit their dad in the face. The balloons made a loud whooshing sound as they deflated. + +Their dad was startled and angry. He dropped his computer and yelled at them. + +"Tim and Kim, what are you doing? You disturbed me! You scared me! You ruined my work! You are very naughty and foolish!" + +Tim and Kim were scared and sorry. They dropped their balloons and ran back to their room. They cried and hugged each other. + +They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to their mom and not disturbed their dad. They learned their lesson. They never played with balloons in their dad's office again. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box of stickers in their room. They were very happy and wanted to stick them everywhere. + +"Look, Sara, I have a jolly star on my thumb!" Tom said, showing his hand. + +"That's nice, Tom, but I have a jolly heart on my nose!" Sara said, pointing to her face. + +They stuck more and more stickers on their bodies, their clothes, and their furniture. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, their mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy at all. She frowned and said, "Sara and Tom, what have you done? You have wasted all the stickers and made a big mess. You have to remove them right now and clean up the room." + +Sara and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They tried to remove the stickers, but they were very sticky and hard to peel off. Some of them hurt their skin and left marks. They cried and said, "We're sorry, mom, we didn't mean to make a mess. We just wanted to have fun." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I know, my loves, but you have to be careful with your things. Stickers are not for sticking on yourself or the furniture. They are for decorating your books or your cards. Next time, ask me before you use something new. And remember, you don't need stickers to be jolly. You are jolly because you are my sweet twins." + +Sara and Tom nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We love you." + +They helped mom clean up the room and put the stickers away. They learned their lesson and never stuck stickers on themselves or the furniture again. They still played with their toys and had fun, but they also respected their things and their mom. They were jolly twins who made mom proud. +Ben likes to play with his boat. He has a big boat that is black and red. He puts his boat in the water and makes it go fast. He likes to watch the water splash and the boat zoom. + +One day, Ben goes to the lake with his mom and dad. He brings his boat and a remote. He wants to play with his boat in the lake. He sees other boats in the lake. Some are big and some are small. Some are white and some are blue. Ben thinks his boat is the best. + +Ben asks his dad to help him put his boat in the lake. His dad says yes and holds his hand. They walk to the edge of the lake. Ben sees a big duck in the water. The duck is yellow and brown. It has a long neck and a big beak. Ben thinks the duck is funny. + +Ben gives his dad the remote and holds his boat. He is ready to play. He looks at the duck and smiles. He thinks the duck will like his boat. He says to his dad, "Look, dad, a duck! Can I show him my boat?" + +His dad says, "Sure, Ben, but be careful. The duck might not like your boat. He might think it is a big fish and try to eat it. Or he might get scared and fly away. You have to be gentle and slow with the duck." + +Ben nods and says, "OK, dad, I will be gentle and slow." He puts his boat in the water and turns on the remote. He makes his boat go near the duck. He says, "Hello, duck, this is my boat. Do you like it?" + +The duck sees the boat and quacks. He swims closer to the boat and looks at it. He thinks the boat is a big fish and he is hungry. He opens his beak and bites the boat. He pulls the boat under the water and shakes it. He makes a loud noise. + +Ben is shocked and scared. He drops the remote and cries. He says, "No, duck, no! That is my boat! Give it back! Give it back!" + +His dad runs to him and hugs him. He says, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. The duck took your boat. He didn't know it was your toy. He thought it was his food. He didn't mean to hurt you." + +Ben sobs and says, "But I liked my boat. It was my favorite. It was black and red and fast. I wanted to play with the duck. I wanted to be his friend." + +His dad says, "I know, Ben, I know. You were very brave and kind to share your boat with the duck. But sometimes, things don't go the way we want. Sometimes, we lose things we love. Sometimes, we learn things the hard way. But we can always find new things to love and new things to learn. Maybe we can get you a new boat. Maybe we can find a new friend. Maybe we can have a new adventure. What do you think?" + +Ben sniffles and wipes his eyes. He looks at his dad and says, "Maybe, dad, maybe. But I still miss my boat. And I still don't like that duck." + +His dad says, "I understand, Ben, I understand. But maybe, one day, you will like that duck. Maybe, one day, you will see that he was just doing what ducks do. Maybe, one day, you will forgive him. And maybe, one day, he will give you back your boat." + +Ben says, "Maybe, dad, maybe. But not today." + +His dad says, "Not today, Ben, not today. But maybe, someday." He kisses his head and says, "Come on, let's go home. Mom is waiting for us. She has cookies and milk for us. Do you like cookies and milk?" + +Ben says, "Yes, dad, I like cookies and milk. And I like you and mom. And I like playing with my boat. Even if it is gone." + +His dad says, "I like you too, Ben. And I like playing with you. Even if your boat is gone. You are my son. And you are the best." + +They hold hands and walk away from the lake. The duck swims away with the boat. He quacks and smiles. He likes his new toy. He thinks it is the best. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bird in a cage. The bird was red and yellow and blue. It was very pretty. + +"Look, a bird!" Tom said. "Let's go see it." + +They ran to the cage. The bird was quiet. It looked sad and fearful. Tom wanted to make it happy. He reached his hand to the cage. + +"Tom, don't!" Sue said. "The bird might bite you." + +But Tom did not listen. He opened the cage. The bird flew out. It was angry. It did not like Tom. It bit his finger. Tom screamed. He let go of the cage. He stumbled and fell. He hurt his knee. + +Sue ran to help him. She was scared. She saw blood on his finger and his knee. She cried. She called for help. + +The bird flew away. It was free. It did not care about Tom and Sue. It did not say thank you. It did not say sorry. It was a bad bird. Tom and Sue were sad and hurt. They learned a hard lesson. They should not touch things that are not theirs. They should listen to each other. They should be careful. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run, but their favorite thing was to dig in the sand. They had a big pit where they kept their treasures, like shells, rocks and coins. They pretended they were pirates and the pit was their secret chest. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had curly hair, glasses and a red shirt. He looked different from them, and he did not play with anyone. He just sat on a bench and read a book. Lily and Ben were curious about him, and wanted to talk to him. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Ben. What's your name?" Lily asked, walking up to the bench. + +The boy looked up from his book and smiled. "I'm Sam. Nice to meet you." + +"Do you want to play with us? We have a pit with treasures. We can serve you some sand cake and tea." Ben offered, holding out his hand. + +Sam nodded and put down his book. He followed Lily and Ben to their pit, and they showed him their treasures. They gave him a shell to keep, and he gave them a sticker from his book. They served him some sand cake and tea, and he pretended to eat and drink. They laughed and talked, and soon they became friends. + +They learned that Sam was new in town, and he liked to read and draw. He was different from them, but he also had things in common with them. They liked to learn from him, and he liked to play with them. They decided to make him a pirate too, and gave him a bandana and a sword. They played until the sun set, and then they said goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Sam. You're our friend now." Lily said, hugging him. + +"See you tomorrow, Lily and Ben. You're my friends too." Sam said, waving. + +They smiled and ran to their homes, happy to have a new friend. They did not know that the next day, something would happen that would make their friendship even stronger. But that's another story. +Lily and Ben were young friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a glove on the grass. It was red and soft and had five fingers. + +"Look, a glove!" Lily said. "Let's play with it." + +She picked up the glove and put it on her hand. She waved at Ben and made funny noises. + +"Hello, I am a glove. How are you?" she said. + +Ben laughed and clapped his hands. He wanted to try the glove too. + +"Can I have a turn?" he asked. + +Lily shook her head. She liked the glove too much. She ignored Ben and ran away with the glove. + +"Hey, come back!" Ben shouted. "That's not fair!" + +He chased after Lily, but she was faster. She ran to the slide and slid down with the glove. + +"Yay, this is fun!" she said. + +Ben was sad and angry. He stopped running and sat on the swing. He felt lonely and bored. + +"Why are you ignoring me?" he said. "You are not a good friend." + +Lily heard Ben and felt sorry. She realized she was being selfish and mean. She got off the slide and walked to Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "I was wrong. You can have the glove. I want to play with you." + +She gave the glove to Ben and smiled. Ben smiled back and took the glove. He put it on his hand and waved at Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend." + +They hugged and made up. Then they played together with the glove. They had fun and shared. They were happy. +One day, a king and a queen went for a walk in the forest. They wore their crowns, which were shiny and pretty. The crowns were rare, because they had jewels and gold on them. + +As they walked, they saw a big bear. The bear was hungry and angry. It saw the crowns and wanted them. It roared and ran towards the king and the queen. + +"Help!" the queen cried. "The bear wants our crowns!" + +The king was brave and smart. He picked up a stick and threw it at the bear. The stick hit the bear on the nose. The bear was hurt and scared. It ran away into the trees. + +The king and the queen were safe. They hugged each other and thanked the stick. They went back to their castle and put their crowns in a safe place. They were happy and proud. They told their story to their children and their friends. They said that the stick was a hero. The stick was rare, too. +Lily liked to imagine that she was a princess. She had a crown that she made from paper and glitter. She wore it every day and pretended to rule over her toys and her cat. She was very happy and kind to everyone. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide that looked like a castle. She wanted to go on it and have fun. She ran to the slide with her crown on her head. She climbed up the ladder and got ready to slide down. + +But then, she saw a boy who was also on the slide. He had a mean face and a loud voice. He said, "Hey, you, get off my slide! This is my castle and you are not a princess! Your crown is ugly and fake!" + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not want to fight with the boy. She said, "Please, can we share the slide? I just want to play and have fun. My crown is not ugly and fake, it is flexible and shiny. See, I can bend it and it does not break." + +The boy looked at her crown and was curious. He said, "Really? Let me see." He reached for her crown and tried to pull it off her head. But Lily was quick and smart. She ducked and slid down the slide. She said, "Ha, ha, you can't catch me! I am a princess and you are not!" + +She landed on the ground and ran to her mom and dad. They hugged her and praised her. They said, "You are very brave and clever, Lily. You did not let the boy bully you. You used your imagination and your flexible crown to escape. We are very proud of you." + +Lily smiled and felt happy. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you and I love my crown. It is the best crown ever." She put it back on her head and went to play with some nice kids who also liked to imagine. She had a lot of fun and made new friends. She was a princess and she was happy. +Tim liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them race and crash on the floor. But he did not like to share his cars with his sister, Kim. Kim was smaller and weaker than him, and he thought she would break his cars. + +One day, Tim found a new car in his room. It was shiny and red, and it had a button on the roof. He pressed the button, and the car made a loud noise. He was very happy, and he wanted to play with it right away. He did not see the label on the car that said: "Warning: Do not press the button more than once. The car will shrink and you will shrink too." + +He took the car to the living room, where Kim was playing with her dolls. He showed her the car, and said: "Look at my new car. It is better than your dolls. It can make noise and move fast. You can't play with it. It is mine." Kim looked at the car, and said: "It is a nice car. Can I see it for a moment?" Tim said: "No, you can't. Go away." He pressed the button again, and the car made another noise. + +But then, something strange happened. The car started to get smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a pick. Tim was shocked, and he tried to grab the car. But he also started to get smaller and smaller, until he was the size of a pick too. He fell on the floor, and he saw the car next to him. He was scared, and he cried: "Help! Help! I am too small!" + +Kim heard his cry, and she looked at the floor. She saw the tiny car and the tiny Tim. She was surprised, and she said: "What happened to you? Why are you so small?" She picked up the car and the Tim, and she said: "Don't worry, I will help you. Maybe we can find a way to make you big again." She took them to her room, and she looked for the label on the car. She read it, and she said: "Oh, I see. You pressed the button too many times. That was not a good idea. Maybe if you press it again, you will grow back." + +She pressed the button, and the car made another noise. The car started to get bigger and bigger, and so did Tim. Soon, they were back to their normal sizes. Tim was relieved, and he said: "Thank you, Kim. You saved me. I am sorry I was mean to you. You can play with my car if you want." Kim smiled, and said: "You're welcome, Tim. I am glad you are okay. And thank you for letting me play with your car. It is a fun car. But be careful with the button. It is not a toy." They hugged, and they played with the car together. They learned to share and to be nice to each other. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But sometimes they fight. Ben is older and stronger than Sam. He can take Sam's toys and make him cry. + +One day, Sam finds a big red car in the yard. He is very happy. He runs to the car and sits inside. He pretends to drive and honk. He feels like a big boy. + +Ben sees Sam in the car. He wants the car too. He runs to the yard and pulls Sam out of the car. He pushes him to the ground and gets in the car. He laughs and says, "This is my car. You are too small. Go away." + +Sam is very sad and angry. He hates Ben. He wants his car back. He gets up and runs to Ben. He hits him with his hand. He tries to be strong. He says, "No, this is my car. You are mean. Give it back." + +Ben is surprised and hurt. He hits Sam back with his hand. They start to fight. They yell and kick and bite. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the yard. She sees Ben and Sam fighting. She is very mad. She grabs them by their hands and drags them to the house. She says, "Stop it. You are brothers. You should not fight. You should share and be nice. Fighting is bad. You are both in trouble." + +Ben and Sam feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We love each other. We will not fight again. We will share the car." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I love you too. I am glad you are sorry. But you still have to go to your rooms and think about what you did. Fighting is not the way to solve problems. You have to use your words and be kind." + +Ben and Sam go to their rooms. They think about what they did. They feel bad. They wish they did not fight. They wish they did not hate. They wish they were strong in a good way. They wish they were good brothers. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they had a big fight over a pink doll that they both wanted. Anna said, "It is mine! I saw it first!" Ben said, "No, it is mine! I like it more!" They pulled and pushed the doll until it broke in two. + +Anna and Ben both cried and looked at the doll. They felt sad and angry. They did not want to share or say sorry. They turned away from each other and part their lips in a rude way. They did not talk or play for a long time. + +Their teacher, Miss Lee, saw them and came to talk to them. She said, "Why are you so upset, Anna and Ben? What happened to the doll?" Anna and Ben told her their story, but they blamed each other. Miss Lee said, "I understand that you both liked the doll, but you should not fight over it. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and your toys. And you should not part your lips in a rude way. That is not polite. It shows that you do not respect or care for each other. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Anna and Ben thought about what Miss Lee said. They realized that they were wrong. They felt sorry for what they did. They looked at each other and said, "I am sorry, Anna/Ben. I should not have fought with you. I should have shared with you. Can we be friends again?" They smiled and hugged each other. They said, "Yes, we can be friends again. I am sorry, too. I should not have been rude to you. I should have listened to you. Let's play together again." + +Miss Lee was happy to see them make up. She said, "Well done, Anna and Ben. You are good friends. You learned how to say sorry and forgive. You learned how to share and care. That is very important. You can keep the doll and take turns to play with it. Or you can find another toy that you both like. There are many toys here. You can have fun with all of them." + +Anna and Ben thanked Miss Lee and agreed with her. They took the doll and fixed it with some tape. They decided to play with it together and then with other toys. They had a lot of fun and did not fight anymore. They learned their lesson and became better friends. +Lily likes to watch news on TV with her dad. She learns new things and sees different places. Sometimes the news is happy, sometimes it is sad. Lily likes to ask her dad questions about the news. + +One day, Lily and her dad are watching news on TV. They see a big building with many windows. It is a modern building, Lily's dad says. It is where people work and make news. Lily thinks it looks fun to work there. + +Lily wants to see the modern building in real life. She asks her dad if they can go there. Her dad says maybe one day, but not today. He has to work at home. Lily is sad. She wants to go now. + +Lily has an idea. She finds her dad's keys and puts them in her pocket. She puts on her shoes and coat. She sneaks out of the house. She runs to the bus stop. She sees a bus with the same number as the one on TV. She gets on the bus. + +The bus takes Lily to the modern building. Lily is happy. She gets off the bus and runs to the building. She sees a big door. She tries to open it, but it is locked. She tries to use her dad's keys, but they do not fit. She is stuck. She is scared. She wants her dad. + +Lily starts to cry. A man sees her and asks her what is wrong. He works at the building. He is a news man. He calls Lily's dad and tells him where she is. He waits with Lily until her dad comes. + +Lily's dad is angry and worried. He hugs Lily and scolds her. He tells her she should never run away from home. He tells her she could have been hurt or lost. He tells her he loves her and he is glad she is safe. + +Lily is sorry. She says she is sorry to her dad and to the news man. She says she just wanted to see the modern building. She says she likes news. The news man smiles. He says he likes news too. He says he understands her curiosity. He says he will show her around the building if she promises to never run away again. + +Lily promises. She holds her dad's hand. She follows the news man. She sees many people and machines. She sees cameras and microphones. She sees screens and maps. She sees the news. She thinks it is amazing. She thanks the news man. She says she learned a lot. + +Lily and her dad go back home. They watch news on TV. Lily tells her dad what she saw at the building. She asks her dad more questions. Her dad answers them. He says he is proud of her for being smart and interested. He says he is happy to watch news with her. He says he loves her. Lily says she loves him too. She says she will never run away again. She says she will always watch news with him. They hug and smile. +Sara was a little girl who liked to imagine. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a fairy, or a doctor. She imagined she had a big castle, a ship, a wand, or a stethoscope. She imagined she went on adventures, fought dragons, flew in the sky, or helped sick animals. + +But sometimes, Sara was careless. She did not put away her toys, her books, or her clothes. She left them on the floor, on the table, or on the bed. She did not listen to her mom, her dad, or her brother. She did not do her chores, her homework, or her bedtime routine. + +One night, Sara was very tired. She wanted to go to bed and imagine some more. But when she got to her room, she saw a big mess. There were toys, books, and clothes everywhere. There was no space for her to sleep on the bed. She felt sad and sorry. She wished she had been more careful. + +She decided to clean up her room. She picked up her toys and put them in the box. She picked up her books and put them on the shelf. She picked up her clothes and put them in the hamper. She made her bed and fluffed her pillow. She felt proud and happy. She had done a good job. + +She climbed into her bed and turned off the light. She closed her eyes and imagined. She imagined she was a star, a flower, a butterfly, or a rainbow. She imagined she shone, bloomed, flew, or sparkled. She imagined she was peaceful, beautiful, free, or colorful. She fell asleep with a smile. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tom says. "Do you want to be our friend?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna says. "You are very nice and cold." + +They hug the snowman and rub his belly. The snowman smiles. + +But then, a big truck comes. It is from the university. It has a shovel and a salt machine. It wants to clear the snow from the road. + +"Watch out!" Tom shouts. "The truck is coming!" + +Anna and Tom run away from the snowman. They hide behind a tree. They are scared. + +The truck stops near the snowman. The driver gets out. He sees the snowman. + +"What a cute snowman!" he says. "Who made it?" + +He walks to the snowman. He touches his hat and his scarf. He rubs his nose and his eyes. + +But the salt machine is still on. It sprays salt on the snowman. The snowman starts to melt. + +"Help!" the snowman cries. "I am icy, but the salt is hot! It hurts!" + +Tom and Anna hear the snowman. They are sad and angry. + +"Stop it!" Tom yells. "You are hurting our friend!" + +They run to the truck. They climb on the shovel. They push the button. The shovel lifts up. It dumps snow on the driver and the salt machine. + +The driver and the salt machine are covered in snow. They are cold and wet. They can't see or move. + +"Ha ha!" Tom and Anna laugh. "That will teach you!" + +They jump off the shovel. They run to the snowman. They hug him and rub him. They try to fix him. + +"Are you okay, Mr. Snowman?" Anna asks. + +"I am okay, thank you," the snowman says. "You are very brave and kind." + +They smile. They are happy. They play with the snowman until it is dark. Then they go home. They say goodbye to the snowman. + +"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman!" Tom says. "We will come back tomorrow!" + +"Goodbye, Tom and Anna!" the snowman says. "You are my best friends!" + +The end. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and stories with their cars, dolls, and animals. But then they saw a big book on the shelf. It had a picture of a judge on the cover. The judge had a long robe and a big hat. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the book. + +"That is a judge," Tim said. "He tells people what to do and if they are good or bad." + +"Can we look at the book?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Tim said. "It is Mom's book and she does not like us to touch it." + +They climbed on the couch and reached for the book. But as soon as they touched it, something strange happened. They felt a tickle in their bodies and then they saw everything get bigger. The book, the couch, the toys, everything. They had shrunk! + +"Help!" Tim shouted. "We are so small!" + +"Mom! Dad!" Lily cried. "Where are you?" + +They heard footsteps coming from the kitchen. It was Mom and Dad. They were ready to have lunch. They did not see Tim and Lily on the couch. They only saw the big book. + +"Hey, what is this?" Mom said. "This is my book about judges. Who took it from the shelf?" + +"Maybe Tim and Lily," Dad said. "They were playing here before." + +They walked to the couch and picked up the book. Tim and Lily were scared. They tried to call Mom and Dad, but they were too quiet. They could not hear them. + +"Please, put the book back!" Tim said. + +"Please, make us big again!" Lily said. + +But Mom and Dad did not hear them. They opened the book and looked at the pages. They saw pictures and words about judges. They did not see Tim and Lily. + +"Wow, this is interesting," Mom said. "Look at this judge. He has a funny wig." + +"Ha, ha, yes," Dad said. "And look at this one. He has a big gavel." + +They turned the pages and laughed. They did not know that Tim and Lily were in the book, hiding behind the pictures. They hoped that Mom and Dad would put the book back soon. They wanted to be big again. They wanted to play with their toys. They wanted to have lunch. They wanted to hug Mom and Dad. They were not having fun anymore. They were very sad. +One day, a lazy boy named Tom did not want to do his homework. He wanted to play with his toys and watch TV. His mom told him, "Tom, you have to do your homework and mail it to your teacher. If you don't, you will get a bad grade and your teacher will be sad." + +Tom did not listen to his mom. He said, "I don't care. Homework is boring. I will mail it later." He hid his homework under his bed and went to play outside. + +Tom saw a well near his house. He thought it would be fun to throw things into the well and hear them splash. He found a rock, a stick, a ball, and a can. He threw them one by one into the well. He laughed and said, "This is fun!" + +But then, he saw his homework under his bed. He thought, "Oh no! I forgot to mail my homework! What should I do?" He ran to the well and looked for his homework. He could not see it. He said, "Maybe it fell into the well. I have to get it back." + +He leaned over the well and reached for his homework. But he lost his balance and fell into the well. He screamed, "Help! Help! I'm in the well!" + +His mom heard his scream and ran to the well. She saw Tom in the well and said, "Tom, what are you doing in the well? How did you get there?" + +Tom said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was lazy and did not mail my homework. I threw it into the well and tried to get it back. But I fell into the well. Please help me!" + +His mom said, "Tom, you were very naughty and foolish. You should have done your homework and mailed it to your teacher. You should not have thrown things into the well. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You are lucky I heard you and came to help you." + +She called the firemen and they came with a ladder and a rope. They pulled Tom out of the well and gave him a blanket. Tom was wet and cold and scared. He said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I learned my lesson. I will never be lazy and throw things into the well again. I will do my homework and mail it to my teacher. Please forgive me." + +His mom said, "Tom, I'm glad you are safe and sorry. I forgive you. But you have to promise me that you will be a good boy and do your homework and mail it to your teacher. And you have to apologize to your teacher and the firemen for your mistake." + +Tom said, "I promise, mom. I will be a good boy and do my homework and mail it to my teacher. And I will apologize to my teacher and the firemen. Thank you for saving me, mom. I love you." + +His mom said, "I love you too, Tom. But remember, being lazy and throwing things into the well is not fun. It is dangerous and wrong. You have to be responsible and respectful and kind. That is the right way to be." + +The end. +Sam is a young boy who likes to play with his dog, Rex. Rex is a big and furry dog who can do many tricks. Sam can tell Rex to sit, roll, fetch and bark. Rex always listens to Sam and makes him happy. + +One day, Sam and Rex go to the park. They see a girl with a white cane. She is deaf and cannot hear anything. She looks lonely and sad. Sam wants to be her friend. + +"Hi, I am Sam. This is Rex. He is my dog. Do you want to play with us?" Sam says to the girl. + +The girl does not answer. She does not hear Sam. She only feels Rex's nose touch her hand. She smiles and pets Rex. Rex wags his tail and licks her face. + +Sam sees that the girl is deaf. He remembers that his mom taught him some signs. He uses his hands to tell the girl his name and Rex's name. He points to the park and asks her if she wants to play. + +The girl nods and signs her name. She is Anna. She is happy that Sam and Rex are nice to her. She follows them to the park. They play with the ball, the slide, the swing and the sandbox. They have fun and laugh. + +Sam and Anna become friends. They learn to talk with their hands and their eyes. Rex is their friend too. He can tell when they are happy or sad. He always makes them feel better. Sam, Anna and Rex are a good team. They like to play together. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their dog Spot. They liked to run, slide, swing and throw the ball for Spot. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then the sky became dark and the rain started to fall. It fell very hard and very fast. The park became wet and muddy. Lily and Tom heard a loud noise. It was the river. The river was full of water and it was coming out of its banks. It was a flood! + +Lily and Tom were scared. They grabbed Spot and ran to the gate. They saw their mom waiting for them in the car. She was worried too. She opened the door and said, "Hurry, hurry, get in the car. We have to go home before the flood gets worse." + +They got in the car and buckled their seat belts. Mom drove away from the park and the flood. She said, "I'm glad you're safe. That was a very big flood. Some people might need our help. We have to be generous and share what we have with them." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They hugged Spot and each other. They were happy to be with their mom and to have a warm and dry home. They hoped the flood would stop soon and the park would be okay. They wanted to play there again. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with different things. Ben liked to build with blocks and puzzles. Mia liked to draw and paint with colors. One day, their mom said they could enter a big room with many kinds of equipment for fun and learning. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Ben said, running to a table with Lego bricks and gears. He started to make a car with wheels and a motor. + +"I want to see the art corner!" Mia said, following a sign with a rainbow and a brush. She found a big easel with paper and many paints and crayons. She decided to draw a flower with a smiley face. + +They played happily for a long time, trying different equipment and showing each other their creations. A lady with a badge came to see them and smiled. + +"Hello, Ben and Mia. I'm Ms. Lee, the teacher of this room. You are very gifted children. You have good skills and imagination. Do you like it here?" she asked. + +"Yes, we love it!" they said together. "Can we come again?" + +"Of course, you can. This room is for children like you who want to learn and have fun. You can come every week and try new things. How does that sound?" Ms. Lee said. + +"Yay, thank you!" Ben and Mia said, hugging her. They were very happy and excited. They had found a new place to play and grow. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what was in the big box that mom and dad had brought home. + +"Can we open the box?" Lila asked. "Please, please, please?" + +"Not yet," mom said. "The box is a surprise for later. You have to wait." + +Lila and Tom were impatient. They did not like to wait. They wanted to see the surprise now. They tried to peek inside the box, but it was too high. They tried to shake the box, but it was too heavy. They tried to guess what was in the box, but they had no idea. + +"Maybe it's a cake," Lila said. + +"Maybe it's a robot," Tom said. + +"Maybe it's a dinosaur," Lila said. + +"Maybe it's a rocket," Tom said. + +They kept guessing and guessing, but they were still curious and impatient. + +Then, they had an idea. They decided to work together. They pushed a chair to the box. Tom climbed on the chair and Lila helped him. Tom reached for the box and tried to open it. He raised the lid a little bit and saw something inside. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "It's a..." + +But before he could finish, mom and dad came into the room. They saw Tom on the chair and Lila on the floor. They saw the box open and the surprise out. + +"Hey!" mom said. "What are you doing?" + +"Sorry," Lila and Tom said. "We wanted to see the surprise." + +Mom and dad smiled. They were not angry. They were happy. They hugged Lila and Tom and showed them the surprise. It was a new thing for them to play with. It was a tent. A big, colorful, fun tent. + +"Wow!" Lila and Tom said. "It's a tent!" + +"Yes, it is," mom and dad said. "And it's for you. You can play inside it, or outside it, or both. You can pretend it's a castle, or a spaceship, or a cave. You can have adventures and stories and fun." + +Lila and Tom were excited. They thanked mom and dad and ran to the tent. They forgot about the doll and the car. They forgot about being impatient. They only wanted to play with the new thing. The tent. The best surprise ever. +Sam and Mia liked to play near the big water. They liked to see the fish and the birds and the boats. But their mom always warned them to stay away from the old man who lived in a hut by the water. She said he was crazy and mean and had a big net that he used to catch things. + +One day, Sam and Mia saw the old man leave his hut and go to his boat. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside his hut. They waited until he was far away and then they ran to his hut. They opened the door and saw many things that made them scared. There were bones and feathers and shells and jars with strange things in them. There was also a big net that hung from the ceiling. + +Sam and Mia wanted to leave, but they heard the old man coming back. He was angry and shouted at them. He said they were bad and he would catch them with his net. He ran to his hut and tried to open the door. But Sam and Mia had locked it from inside. They looked for a way to escape. They saw a small window at the back of the hut. They climbed on a chair and pushed the window open. They jumped out and ran to the big water. They saw their mom waiting for them. She hugged them and said she was glad they were safe. She said they should never go near the old man's hut again. Sam and Mia agreed and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and never played near the old man's hut again. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play and have fun. One day, they decided to go to the park and have a picnic. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a basket. They also took a ball and a kite. + +They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread a blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. They were hungry and thirsty, so they ate and drank some of their food. They said, "This is a yummy picnic!" + +Then they wanted to play with the ball and the kite. Tom said, "Let's play catch with the ball first." Anna said, "OK, but then we can fly the kite too." They agreed and ran to the open field. They threw the ball to each other and had a lot of fun. + +But they forgot about their picnic. They left it under the tree. A lazy dog saw the basket and smelled the food. He walked to the tree and sniffed the basket. He liked what he saw. He opened the basket with his paw and ate the rest of the bread, cheese and fruit. He drank the juice too. He was very happy and full. + +Tom and Anna played for a long time. They flew the kite high in the sky and watched it dance in the wind. They laughed and cheered. They did not notice the dog or the basket. They were having too much fun. + +But then they got tired and hungry again. They decided to go back to their picnic and eat some more. They ran to the tree and looked for the basket. But they could not find it. They only saw a lazy dog lying on the blanket. He had a big belly and a smile on his face. He had eaten their picnic! + +Tom and Anna were very sad and angry. They said, "Hey, you bad dog! You ate our picnic! That was not nice! That was ours!" The dog did not care. He just wagged his tail and licked his lips. He was very happy and full. + +Tom and Anna learned a lesson. They learned that they should not leave their things unattended. They learned that they should be careful and watchful. They learned that they should not be too greedy and forgetful. They learned that they should share and be fair. They learned that a lazy dog can be a sneaky dog. They learned that a picnic can be a tasty treat for a dog. +Lily and Ben were having a picnic with their mom and dad. They had sandwiches, apples, cookies, and juice. Lily liked olives, but Ben did not. He made a face when he saw them on his plate. + +"Yuck, I don't want olives," he said. "They are black and round and salty." + +"More for me, then," Lily said. She took his olives and put them on her sandwich. She smiled and took a big bite. + +Ben was not happy. He wanted something else to eat. He looked around and saw a jar of jam on the blanket. He reached for it, but he forgot to hold his sandwich. His sandwich fell on the grass. + +"Oh no, my sandwich!" he cried. He picked it up, but it was dirty and had ants on it. He threw it away. + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She knew he was hungry and sad. She had an idea. + +"Ben, do you want half of my sandwich?" she asked. "It has olives, but you can take them off if you want." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was being nice. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." + +Lily gave him half of her sandwich. They ate together and shared their juice. They were not cold anymore. They were warm and happy. Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They had a good picnic. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"Yes, let's go!" Anna says. + +They run to the slide. Tom goes first. He sits on the slide and pushes off. He goes very fast. He smiles and shouts. He reaches the end of the slide and jumps off. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Tom says. + +Anna nods. She sits on the slide and pushes off. She goes very fast too. But then she slips. She slides off the slide and falls on the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna says. + +Tom hears Anna cry. He runs to her. He sees her knee. It is red and has a small cut. He feels sorry for Anna. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Tom asks. + +Anna shakes her head. She still cries. + +"It hurts, Tom. It hurts a lot." Anna says. + +Tom hugs Anna. He wants to help her. He is a kind friend. + +"Don't cry, Anna. I will help you. I have a band-aid in my pocket. I will put it on your knee. It will make it better." Tom says. + +He takes out a band-aid and puts it on Anna's knee. He rubs it gently. He smiles at Anna. + +"There, Anna. Does it feel better now?" Tom asks. + +Anna stops crying. She looks at her knee. She sees the band-aid. It has a picture of a star on it. She likes stars. She smiles at Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a kind friend. It feels better now." Anna says. + +Tom and Anna hug. They are happy. They are friends. They go back to play in the park. They are careful on the slide. They have fun. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Mom said, "You can choose what you want to play with. But be careful and share with others." + +Lily wanted to go on the slide. She ran to the ladder and climbed up. Ben wanted to go on the swing. He walked to the seat and pushed it with his feet. They both had fun and laughed. + +Then, a boy came to the park. He had a red shirt and a mean face. He saw Lily on the slide and said, "That's my slide. Get off now!" He pushed Lily and she fell down. She cried and said, "Ow, that hurt! You are not nice!" + +Mom heard Lily and ran to her. She hugged her and said, "Are you okay, sweetie? Let me see your knee." She saw a small cut and a bruise. She said, "It's not bad. I have a band-aid in my bag. Come with me." + +Ben saw what happened and was angry. He said to the boy, "You are mean! You can't push my sister! You have to say sorry!" The boy said, "No, I don't. This is my park. I can do what I want. You go away!" + +Mom came back with Lily and a band-aid. She said to the boy, "You have to be polite and kind. You can't hurt other children. You have to follow the order of the park. The order is to share and take turns. Do you understand?" + +The boy looked at Mom and said, "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." He said to Lily and Ben, "I'm sorry. Do you want to play with me?" Lily and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They said, "Okay. But you have to be nice." + +They all went to the sandbox and played together. They made a castle, a bridge, and a tunnel. They had fun and became friends. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you." +Sara and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Tom has a truck. They are having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my truck is fast!" Tom says. + +"Shh, my doll is sleeping, she needs a hug!" Sara says. + +Tom drives his truck near Sara's doll and bumps it. The doll falls off the couch and lands on the floor. Sara is angry and starts to cry. + +"Tom, you are mean! You hurt my doll!" Sara says. + +Tom feels sorry and picks up the doll. He sees that the doll's arm is loose and there is a screw sticking out. He tries to fix it, but it is hard. + +"Sara, I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt your doll. Look, there is a screw here, maybe we can fix it." Tom says. + +Sara stops crying and looks at the doll. She sees the screw and gets curious. + +"What is that? Can I touch it?" Sara says. + +Tom gives her the screw and shows her how to turn it. They work together and tighten the screw. The doll's arm is fixed and it looks happy. + +"Yay, we did it! Thank you, Tom, you are nice!" Sara says. + +She gives Tom a hug and he hugs her back. They smile and go back to playing with their toys. They are friends again. +Rani and Ravi were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were hunters and look for animals. They had sticks that they called spears. They threw them at trees and rocks. + +"Look, Rani, a deer!" Ravi said, pointing at a brown animal with horns. "Let's send it a spear and catch it for dinner!" + +Rani nodded and picked up her stick. She ran after the deer and threw her spear. But she missed. The deer ran away. + +"Too bad, Rani, you need to aim better," Ravi said. "Let's try again." + +They looked for another animal. They saw a rabbit. It was white and fluffy. Ravi threw his spear. He hit the rabbit. It fell down. + +"Good job, Ravi, you got it!" Rani said. "Let's go and get it." + +They ran to the rabbit. But when they got there, they saw something else. A big, black bear. It was angry. It had Ravi's spear in its paw. It was dirty and had blood on its fur. + +"Rani, Ravi, run!" a voice said. It was their father. He had a big spear. He had seen the bear and came to help them. + +Rani and Ravi were scared. They ran to their father. He threw his spear at the bear. He hit it in the chest. The bear roared and fell down. + +"Are you okay, my children?" their father asked. He hugged them. + +"Yes, father, we are okay," Rani and Ravi said. "Thank you for saving us." + +They looked at the bear. It was still and quiet. They felt sorry for it. + +"Father, why did the bear attack us?" Rani asked. + +"Because it was hungry and hurt, Rani," their father said. "It saw your spears and thought you were a threat. It wanted to protect itself." + +"Can we help it, father?" Ravi asked. + +"No, Ravi, it is too late," their father said. "But we can respect it. It was a brave and strong animal. We will not take its fur or meat. We will leave it here and say a prayer for it." + +They did as their father said. They left the bear and the rabbit. They took their spears and went back to their hut. They were happy to be safe and together. They learned a lesson. They would be more careful in the forest. They would not hurt animals unless they needed to. They would be kind and grateful. +Tom and Lily liked to draw with crayons. They made many pictures of animals, flowers and cars. They wanted to show their pictures to their mom and dad, so they put them on the wall with tape. But mom and dad did not like that. They said the tape would make the wall dirty and the pictures would fall off. + +"Please take your pictures off the wall," mom said. "You can put them in a book or on the fridge." + +"But we want to see them all the time," Tom said. + +"We have a better idea," dad said. "We can make prints of your pictures. Do you know what prints are?" + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. + +"Prints are copies of your pictures that you can make with a machine. You can have many prints of the same picture and give them to your friends or family. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious about the machine. + +Dad took them to his office, where he had a printer. He showed them how to put their pictures in a slot and press a button. The machine made a noise and then a print came out of another slot. + +"Wow!" Tom and Lily said. They saw their pictures on a paper that looked like their crayons. + +Dad gave them each a print of their pictures and said they could make more if they wanted. He also gave them a folder to keep their prints in. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked dad and ran to their room. They decided to make prints of all their pictures and release them from the wall. They thought it was fun to make prints and they wanted to share them with others. + +They learned that they could be brave and try new things. They also learned that they could be respectful and listen to their mom and dad. They realized that making prints was a good way to show their art and keep their wall clean. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many things in the garden: flowers, bees, birds, and bugs. + +"Look, Tom, a cricket!" Lily said. She pointed to a small green thing that hopped on the grass. + +Tom ran to see the cricket. He bent down and gazed at it. He saw its long legs and antennas. He heard its chirp. + +"Hello, cricket," Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The cricket did not answer. It hopped away. Tom followed it. He wanted to catch it. + +Lily ran after Tom. She wanted to catch the cricket too. They chased the cricket across the garden. They had fun. + +But the cricket was fast and smart. It hid under a leaf. Lily and Tom could not find it. + +"Where did it go?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it went home." + +They looked around. They saw the sun was setting. The sky was orange and pink. The garden was calm. + +"Maybe we should go home too," Lily said. + +"OK," Tom said. "But can we play with the cricket again tomorrow?" + +"Sure," Lily said. "Maybe it will come out and say hello." + +They smiled and held hands. They walked back to their house. They said goodbye to the garden and the cricket. They hoped to see them again. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to swim. They had a big pool in their backyard where they could splash and dive and float. One day, their mom said they could have a cake for their birthday. She baked a yummy chocolate cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. She put it on the table and told them to wait until after lunch. + +But Lily and Ben were too excited. They wanted to eat the cake right away. They sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed two big slices. They ran outside with the cake in their hands. They thought they were very clever. + +But they did not see their dog, Max. Max was a playful puppy who liked to chase and jump and bite. He saw the cake and wanted some too. He ran after Lily and Ben, barking and wagging his tail. He caught up with them near the pool and jumped on them. The cake flew out of their hands and landed in the water. Lily and Ben screamed. + +"Max, no!" they cried. "You ruined our cake!" + +They looked at the pool and saw the cake sinking and melting. They felt sad and angry. They loved their cake and now it was gone. + +Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the mess and shook her head. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben told her what they did. They said they were sorry. Mom was not happy. She said they should have listened to her and waited. She said they had to clean up the pool and the yard. She said they had no cake for their birthday. + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They wished they had not been so greedy. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. They said they would be good and do their chores. They hoped Mom would forgive them and maybe make another cake. They learned their lesson. They decided to swim later, after they finished their work. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They like to make cars and houses and animals with the toys. But they also make a lot of mess. The toys are everywhere on the grass and the dirt. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big truck!" Ben says. He shows Lily his toy truck. It has four wheels and a door and a window. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a nice truck!" Lily says. She likes Ben's truck. She wants to play with it too. "Can I have a turn?" she asks. + +"OK, Lily, but you have to be careful. The truck has a lock. You need a key to open the door." Ben says. He gives Lily a small toy key. "Here, this is the key. You have to put it in the hole and turn it. Then you can unlock the door and get in the truck." + +Lily takes the key and tries to unlock the door. She puts the key in the hole and turns it. But the key is stuck. She can't unlock the door. She pulls and pulls, but the key won't come out. + +"Ben, help me! The key is stuck!" Lily cries. She is sad and scared. She thinks she broke the truck. + +Ben runs to Lily and tries to help her. He pulls the key too, but it won't come out. He is angry and frustrated. He thinks Lily ruined his truck. + +"Lily, you are so messy! You don't know how to play with my truck! You made the key stuck!" Ben shouts. He pushes Lily away from the truck. + +Lily falls on the ground and hurts her knee. She feels a sharp pain and a warm wetness. She looks at her knee and sees blood. She starts to cry. + +"Ben, you are so mean! You pushed me and made me bleed! You don't want to share your truck!" Lily sobs. She holds her knee and feels sorry for herself. + +Ben hears Lily cry and sees her blood. He feels sorry for her too. He knows he was mean and he hurt her. He wants to make her feel better. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you and make you bleed. I was mad because the key was stuck. But it's not your fault. It's just a toy. It doesn't matter." Ben says. He goes to Lily and hugs her. + +"Ben, I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to make the key stuck. I just wanted to play with your truck. But it's not worth it. It's just a toy. You matter more." Lily says. She hugs Ben back. + +They both smile and wipe their tears. They forget about the truck and the key and the lock. They go to the house and ask their mom for a band-aid and a cookie. They are friends again. They decide to play with something else. Something that doesn't make a mess. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big box in the park. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's plan a way to open the box," Tom says. + +"OK, how?" Sam asks. + +Tom thinks hard. He sees a tie on a bench. He has an idea. + +"We can use the tie to pull the box open," he says. + +He runs to the bench and gets the tie. He ties one end to the box and the other end to a tree. + +"Ready?" he asks Sam. + +"Ready!" Sam says. + +They pull the tie hard. The box opens. They see a lot of toys inside.

They thank the tie for helping them. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to run and play. Today, they have a race at the park. They want to see who is faster. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. She runs as fast as she can. Ben runs after her. He is clumsy. He trips on a rock and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily hears him cry. She stops running. She runs back to him. She helps him get up. She hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" she asks. + +Ben nods. He wipes his tears. He shows her his knee. It has a scratch. Lily gets a band-aid from her backpack. She puts it on his knee. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," he says. + +Lily smiles. She holds his hand. They walk to the finish line together. + +"You won the race, Lily. You are fast," he says. + +Lily shakes her head. She points to him. + +"No, Ben. We won the race. We are a team," she says. + +They hug again. They celebrate. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran away and looked for a good place to hide. He saw a big bush with many leaves and flowers. He thought it was a perfect spot. He crawled under the bush and waited for Lily to find him. + +Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She started to look for Ben. She looked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the sandbox. She could not find him anywhere. She wondered where he was hiding. She thought he was very good at this game. + +She walked around the park and came near the bush where Ben was hiding. She did not see him, but she heard a loud noise. It was a bee. The bee was angry because Ben had disturbed its home. The bee flew out of the bush and stung Ben on his nose. Ben screamed and came out of the bush. He was crying and holding his nose. + +Lily saw him and ran to him. She was worried and wanted to help him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? What happened?" + +Ben said, "A bee stung me. It hurts. It hurts a lot." + +Lily said, "Oh no, poor Ben. Let me see your nose." + +She looked at his nose and gasped. His nose was red and swollen. It looked very ugly. She said, "Ben, your nose is ugly. You look like a clown." + +Ben felt more sad and angry. He did not like Lily's words. He said, "You are mean. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Lily felt sorry and tried to say sorry. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was just surprised. Your nose will get better soon. Please don't be mad at me." + +But Ben did not listen. He turned away and ran to his mom. He told her what happened and asked her to take him home. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. + +Lily was left alone in the park. She felt sad and lonely. She wished she had not said those words. She wished she had been nicer to Ben. She wished they could still be friends. She did not succeed in finding Ben. She did not succeed in keeping Ben. She did not succeed in being a good friend. She failed. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a new toy from their mom. It was a small train with many cars.

Lily and Ben cried and felt sad. They did not want to break their new toy. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken train and the crying twins. She was not happy. She said, "You two have been very bad. You did not share your toy. You did not take care of your toy. You did not listen to me. Now you have no toy to play with." + +Mom took the broken train and put it away. She said, "You will not get your toy back until you learn to be nice to each other. You will also have to do some chores to help me. Maybe then you will understand how to be good." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They did not want to lose their toy. They did not want to make mom angry. They wanted to make mom happy. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will be nice to each other. We will share our toys. We will take care of our toys. We will listen to you. We will do our chores. Please give us another chance." + +Mom saw that Lily and Ben were sincere. She said, "I am glad you are sorry. I will give you another chance. But you have to prove it to me. You have to show me that you can be good. Tomorrow, a judge will come to our house. He will see how you behave. He will decide if you can have your toy back or not." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know who the judge was. They did not know what he would do. They did not want to lose their toy forever. They decided to be good and do everything mom said. + +The next day, the judge arrived. He was a friendly man with a big smile. He was mom's friend. He came to visit and have some tea. He also brought a surprise for Lily and Ben. He had fixed their train and made it even better. He had added more cars and stickers and bells. + +He said, "I heard that you two had a problem with your toy. I also heard that you have been good and learned your lesson. I am proud of you. I have a gift for you. Here is your train. It is as good as new. You can play with it again. But remember, you have to share it and take care of it and listen to your mom. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben were overjoyed. They hugged the judge and thanked him. They said, "Yes, we can do that. We will do that. We are sorry for being bad. We are happy for being good. We love our train. We love you. We love mom." + +Mom was happy too. She said, "You see, being good pays off. Being bad only brings trouble. I hope you will always be good and kind and respectful. I love you too." + +Lily and Ben played with their train happily. They shared it and took care of it and listened to mom. They also played with the judge and mom. They had a lot of fun.

She claps her hands and says, "Wow, Ben, you are so good at jumping! Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Anna, you can try. But be careful, don't fall off the couch!" Ben says. + +Anna climbs on the couch and jumps with Ben. They laugh and have fun. They feel the air on their faces and the couch under their feet. They feel happy and proud. + +Mom comes into the living room and sees Anna and Ben jumping on the couch. She smiles and says, "What are you two doing? Are you having a good time?" + +"Yes, Mom, we are having a good time!" Anna and Ben say. "We are jumping on the couch and flying!" + +Mom says, "That sounds like fun, but you have to be careful. The couch is not a trampoline. You might hurt yourself or break the couch. Why don't you jump on the floor instead? It's safer and more spacious." + +Anna and Ben listen to Mom. They get off the couch and jump on the floor. They still pretend they are flying, but they are more careful. They thank Mom for her advice and give her a hug. Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. You are my brave and smart jumpers!" +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures.

They see the words and the bear. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We are writing a story," Tom says. + +"A story? About what?" Dad asks. + +"About a big bear who lives in the woods," Sue says. + +Mom and Dad look at each other. They look angry. They do not like the story. They do not like the mess. + +"That is a bad story. That is a bad bear. You made a bad mess. You are bad children," Mom says. + +They take away the paper and crayons. They throw them in the trash. They do not give Tom and Sue lunch. They send them to their rooms. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They are hungry. They are sorry. They do not understand. They like their story. They like their bear. They cry.

It looks like a missile," Tim said. + +"A missile? What is a missile?" Jen asked. + +"A missile is a thing that flies very fast and makes a big boom," Tim said. + +"Wow! That sounds cool! Can we play with it?" Jen asked. + +"No, no, no! We can't play with a missile! It is very dangerous! It can hurt us and make a big mess!" Tim said. + +"Then why is it here?"

She said she was his best friend and she would always look out for him. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend too. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. You were right. The roof was not a good place to play." Max said. + +They hugged and said goodbye. Max went to his room and Lily went to her house. They learned a lesson that day.

She is pretty and soft." + +Anna takes her doll and goes to the garden. She plays with her doll and makes her talk. She says, "Hello, doll. You are my best friend. You are not like Tom.

He tries to peel it off, but it is too hard. + +"Sorry, Sara, I didn't see the gum," Ben says, feeling bad. "Maybe we can wash it later." + +Sara smiles and hugs Ben. "That's okay, Ben, it's still a nice rock," she says. "Let's find more rocks!" + +They run to another spot and keep collecting rocks. They have fun and forget about the dirty rock. They show their mom their rocks and she tells them they are very good collectors. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the old barn near their house. The barn was big and had many things to see and touch. Sometimes they found old toys, books, and tools that their grandpa had left there. They liked to pretend they were farmers, cowboys, or explorers. + +One day, they saw a big truck outside the barn. A man came out of the truck and walked to the barn. He had a hammer, a saw, and some nails. He looked at the barn and said, "This barn is old and broken. I need to restore it and make it new." + +Anna and Ben ran to the man and said, "No, please don't! This is our barn. We play here every day. We love it the way it is. Please leave it alone." + +The man looked at them and said, "Rude kids. This is not your barn. This is my barn. I bought it from your grandpa. He said I can do whatever I want with it. Now go away and let me work." + +Anna and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like the man. He was mean and rude. They wanted their grandpa back. They wanted their barn back. They ran to their house and told their mom what happened. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you love the barn, but it is not ours anymore. The man has the right to restore it. Maybe he will make it nice and let you play there again. Or maybe we can find another barn to play in. But we have to respect his choice and be polite." + +Anna and Ben nodded, but they still felt sad. They hoped the man would change his mind and let them keep their barn. They hoped the barn would not lose its magic and charm. They hoped they would find a way to play in it again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big fan that made a loud noise and blew air. They liked to pretend they were flying with the fan, or that they were in a storm, or that they were superheroes. + +One day, they wanted to play different games with the fan. Lily wanted to be a fairy and use the fan to make magic. Ben wanted to be a dragon and use the fan to breathe fire. They both grabbed the fan and tried to pull it to their side. + +"Let go of the fan! I want to be a fairy!" Lily said. + +"No, you let go! I want to be a dragon!" Ben said. + +They started to quarrel and tug on the fan. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see that the fan was getting loose from the plug. They did not notice that the fan was falling off the table. + +CRASH! + +The fan hit the floor and broke into pieces. Lily and Ben stopped quarreling and looked at the fan. They felt sad and scared. They had broken their favorite toy. They had made a big mess. They had been bad. + +They heard their mom coming to their room. They were worried. They did not know what to say. They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and waited for their mom. +Tom is a big boat. He likes to sail on the water and see new things. He has a friend, Sam, who is a small boat. Sam likes to sail with Tom and learn from him. + +One day, Tom and Sam see a port. A port is a place where boats can stop and rest. There are many boats in the port. Some are big, some are small, some are old, some are new. Tom and Sam want to go to the port and meet the other boats. + +But there is a problem. The port is very busy. There are many ropes and nets and boxes and people. Tom and Sam have to be careful and not bump into anything. They have to wait for their turn to find a spot to stop. + +Tom is patient and polite. He says hello to the other boats and follows the rules. He finds a nice spot to stop and rest. He is happy. + +Sam is not patient and polite. He is lazy and rude. He does not want to wait or follow the rules. He wants to find a spot to stop and rest right away. He does not say hello to the other boats. He bumps into them and makes them angry. + +Sam finds a spot to stop and rest, but it is not a nice spot. It is a dirty and noisy spot. He is not happy. + +Tom and Sam learn a lesson. Tom learns that being patient and polite is good. Sam learns that being lazy and rude is bad. They decide to be more like Tom and less like Sam. They enjoy the port and make new friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to look at the shiny ornaments on the tree. They were round and red and green and gold. Some had glitter and some had ribbons. + +"Can I touch one?" Ben asked Sara. He was curious and wanted to feel the ornaments. + +"No, no, no!" Sara said. "Mommy said we can't touch them. They are breakable. They can fall and make a big mess." + +But Ben did not listen. He reached for an ornament that was hanging low. He grabbed it and pulled it. But it was too heavy for him. It slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. Ben heard a loud noise and saw the glass everywhere. + +"Uh-oh!" Ben said. He felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to break the ornament. He wanted to fix it, but he did not know how. He felt helpless. + +Sara saw what happened. She was angry and sad. She liked that ornament. It was her favorite. She wanted to yell at Ben, but she saw his face. He looked sad and scared too. She felt sorry for him. + +"It's okay, Ben," Sara said. "It was an accident. Don't cry. We can clean it up." + +She went to the kitchen and got a paper towel. She came back and helped Ben wipe the glass from the floor. They were careful not to cut themselves. They put the paper towel and the broken pieces in the trash can. + +"Thank you, Sara," Ben said. He hugged his sister. He was glad she was not mad at him. He was sorry he broke the ornament. + +"You're welcome, Ben," Sara said. She hugged him back. She was glad he was not hurt. She forgave him for breaking the ornament. + +They went back to the living room and played with their toys. They did not touch the ornaments anymore. They waited for Mommy to come home and tell them a story. +Tim and Liz are playing with a big ball in the park. They like to kick the ball and run after it. Sometimes they pass the ball to each other. They have a lot of fun. + +But then a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. The dog runs to the ball and grabs it with his mouth. He shakes the ball and makes a loud noise. Tim and Liz are scared of the dog. The dog looks fierce. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tim shouts at the dog. "Give it back!" + +But the dog does not listen. He runs away with the ball. Tim and Liz chase the dog. They want their ball back. + +The dog runs to a tree. He sees a loop of rope hanging from the tree. He thinks it is a toy. He drops the ball and jumps to the loop. He bites the loop and swings on it. He is happy. + +Tim and Liz see the ball on the ground. They run to the ball and pick it up. They are happy too. + +"Let's go, Liz," Tim says. "We have our ball back. We don't want to play with that dog." + +They run away from the tree and the dog. They find a new spot to play with their ball. They are careful to watch out for other dogs. They have a lot of fun. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They find some dough in a bowl. It is soft and sticky. They want to make cookies. + +"Let's make cookies with the dough," Tom whispers to Mia. "But we have to be quiet. Mom is sleeping." + +"Okay," Mia whispers back. "Let's use these cutters. They have shapes of stars and hearts and flowers." + +They roll the dough on the table. They cut out the shapes. They put them on a tray. They are happy. + +But they do not see the oven. It is hot and red. It is for baking. Mom forgot to turn it off. + +The tray is too big for the table. It slides off. It falls on the oven. The dough catches fire. It makes a lot of smoke and noise. + +Mom wakes up. She smells the smoke. She sees the fire. She screams. She runs to the kitchen. She grabs the fire extinguisher. She sprays the fire. She puts it out. + +She is angry and scared. She sees Tom and Mia. They are crying and dirty. They are sorry. + +"Tom! Mia! What have you done?" Mom yells. "You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves! You are very naughty! Go to your rooms now! No cookies for you!" + +Tom and Mia run to their rooms. They are sad. They have no cookies. They have no fun. They have a bad ending. +Tommy liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also liked to turn on the lamp in his room and watch the bulb glow. He thought the bulb was like a big yellow sun. + +One day, his mom came into his room and said, "Tommy, it's time to clean up your toys. You have been playing for a long time. And please turn off the lamp. It's too bright and it wastes energy." + +Tommy did not want to clean up his toys. He wanted to play more. He also did not want to turn off the lamp. He liked the light. He said, "No, mom. I want to play. And I like the lamp. It's my sun." + +His mom was not happy. She said, "Tommy, you are being naughty. You have to listen to me. You have to be thoughtful of others. If you don't clean up your toys and turn off the lamp, I will take them away from you." + +Tommy did not care. He said, "No, mom. You can't take them away. They are mine. I don't care about others. I only care about me." + +His mom was very angry. She said, "Fine, Tommy. If that's how you want to be, then you will see what happens. You will be sorry." She left his room and slammed the door. + +Tommy did not feel sorry. He felt happy. He thought he had won. He continued to play with his cars and his lamp. He did not notice that the bulb was getting hotter and hotter. He did not notice that the lamp was smoking. He did not notice that the lamp was on fire. + +He only noticed when the fire alarm went off and the smoke filled his room. He only noticed when his mom came back and screamed. He only noticed when his mom grabbed him and ran out of the room. He only noticed when he saw his toys and his lamp burned to ashes. + +He only noticed when he realized he had lost everything. He only noticed when he wished he had been more thoughtful. He only noticed when it was too late. +Anna and Ben liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they made into a castle. They put a blanket over it and drew windows and doors with crayons. They also had a toy lion that they called Leo. + +One day, they decided to play knights and princesses. Anna wore a shiny dress and a crown. Ben wore a helmet and a sword. Leo was their guard. They went inside the castle and had a tea party with their stuffed animals. + +But then, they heard a loud noise outside. It was a dragon! It had green scales and red eyes and a long tail. It wanted to take their castle and their toys. It breathed fire and smoke and roared. + +Anna and Ben were scared, but they did not want to give up. They grabbed their sword and their crown and ran outside. They saw the dragon and shouted, "Go away, dragon! This is our castle and you can't have it!" + +The dragon laughed and roared again. It moved closer to the castle and tried to knock it down. But then, Leo came out of the box and roared too. He was smaller than the dragon, but he was brave and fierce. He jumped on the dragon's tail and bit it. + +The dragon yelped and turned around. It saw Leo and was surprised. It did not like being bitten. It tried to shake Leo off, but Leo held on. He roared louder and louder. + +Anna and Ben cheered for Leo. They waved their sword and their crown and shouted, "Go, Leo, go! You can do it!" They were proud of their guard. + +The dragon was scared and angry. It did not want to fight with Leo. It decided to leave. It flew away from the castle and the children and the lion. It roared one last time and disappeared. + +Anna and Ben hugged Leo and thanked him. They said, "You are the best guard ever, Leo! You saved our castle and our toys! You are so brave and strong!" + +Leo licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy and proud. He roared softly and smiled. + +They went back to their castle and had another tea party. They invited Leo to join them. They shared their cookies and their juice. They had fun and laughed. They were safe and happy. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy. They saw a big bottle of wine on the table. It was red and shiny. + +"Let's try some wine!" Ben said. "It looks yummy!" + +"No, Ben, we can't!" Lily said. "Mom said wine is only for grown-ups. She will punish us if we drink it!" + +But Ben did not listen. He opened the bottle and poured some wine into a cup. He took a sip and made a terrible face. + +"Yuck! This is not yummy at all! This is icky!" He said. He spit out the wine and spilled it on the floor. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the open bottle of wine. She was very angry. + +"Ben, what did you do?" She asked. "You know you are not allowed to touch the wine! That is very naughty!" + +"I'm sorry, Mom!" Ben said. "I wanted to try it, but it was terrible!" + +Mom shook her head. She took the bottle and the cup and put them away. She gave Ben a towel and told him to clean up the floor. + +"You are punished, Ben!" She said. "You have to go to your room and stay there until dinner. No more playing for you today!" + +Ben felt sad and sorry. He did not like being punished. He wished he had listened to Lily. He learned his lesson. He would never touch the wine again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy boats in the pond. They have a red boat and a blue boat. They pretend the boats are in the navy. + +One day, Tom says, "I want the blue boat. It is faster and stronger." Sam says, "No, I want the blue boat. It is mine. You can have the red boat." Tom and Sam start to fight. They pull and tug on the blue boat. They are both angry and loud. + +A big duck sees them fighting. The duck is hungry and likes to eat boats. The duck swims to Tom and Sam. The duck opens its mouth and bites the blue boat. The blue boat breaks in half. Tom and Sam are shocked and scared. They let go of the boat and run away. + +The duck is happy. It has a tasty snack. It does not care about the red boat. The red boat is weak and boring. The duck swims away with the blue boat. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They lost their blue boat. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to share the red boat. They learn that fighting is bad and sharing is good. They are friends again. +Anna was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and books and dresses, but she was restless. She wanted to see the world and have adventures. She did not like to stay in her room and learn from her teacher. + +One day, she saw a bird outside her window. It was blue and yellow and sang a pretty song. Anna opened the window and said, "Hello, bird. Where do you come from?" + +The bird said, "I come from far away. I fly over mountains and rivers and forests. I see many things and meet many friends." + +Anna said, "That sounds wonderful. Can I go with you?" + +The bird said, "You can, but you have to be brave and careful. The world is not always kind and safe. You may face dangers and troubles. And you have to part from your family and home. Are you sure you want to go?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She loved her family and home, but she also wanted to see the world and have adventures. She said, "Yes, I am sure. I want to go with you." + +The bird said, "Then come with me. But remember, you can always come back if you change your mind." + +Anna packed a small bag with some food and clothes and a picture of her family. She said goodbye to her parents and told them she was going with the bird. They were sad and worried, but they also knew she was restless and curious. They hugged her and said, "We love you, Anna. Be safe and happy. And come back when you are ready." + +Anna climbed on the bird's back and said, "I love you too. Thank you for letting me go. I will come back when I am ready." + +The bird flew away with Anna on his back. They soared over the castle and the town and the fields. Anna felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She saw many things and met many friends. She had adventures and learned new things. She was happy and brave and careful. + +But sometimes, she also missed her family and home. She wondered how they were and what they were doing. She looked at the picture in her bag and felt a tug in her heart. She realized that she was not only a princess, but also a daughter and a sister and a friend. She decided that she wanted to go back and see them again. + +She told the bird, "I had a wonderful time with you. Thank you for showing me the world. But I want to go back to my family and home. I miss them and I love them." + +The bird said, "I understand, Anna. You are welcome to go back. I will take you there. But I will also miss you and love you. You are my friend." + +Anna said, "You are my friend too. And you can always visit me in my castle. I will show you my toys and books and dresses. And I will tell you stories of my adventures." + +The bird said, "That sounds wonderful. I will visit you soon." + +The bird flew back with Anna on his back. They landed in the castle garden, where her parents and siblings were waiting for her. They were overjoyed to see her and hugged her and kissed her. They asked her about her journey and listened to her stories. They gave her more toys and books and dresses. They were proud of her and happy for her. + +Anna was happy too. She was glad to see her family and home again. She was grateful for her adventure and her friend. She was not restless anymore. She was a princess who had seen the world and had come back. +One day, a girl named Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She liked to see all the animals, but her favorite was the ostrich. The ostrich had a long neck, big eyes, and thick feathers. Lily wanted to touch the feathers, but her mom said no. + +"Ostriches can be mean," her mom said. "They can kick and bite. You have to stay away from them." + +Lily nodded, but she still wanted to see the ostrich up close. She saw a fence with a sign that said "Do not enter". She thought the sign was for other people, not for her. She waited until her mom and dad were looking at the monkeys, and then she ran to the fence. She climbed over it and ran to the ostrich. + +The ostrich saw Lily and was not happy. It made a loud noise and flapped its wings. Lily was scared, but she did not run away. She thought the ostrich wanted to play. She smiled and said, "Hi, ostrich. Do you want to dance with me?" + +She started to dance in front of the ostrich. She jumped and spun and clapped her hands. The ostrich did not like the dance. It thought Lily was a threat. It kicked its legs and pecked its beak. Lily cried out and fell to the ground. She hurt her arm and her leg. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry and ran to her. They saw the ostrich and the fence and the sign. They were angry and worried. They picked up Lily and took her to the zoo staff. They called a doctor and a nurse. They said sorry to the ostrich and the zoo. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that ostriches are not friendly and that signs are for everyone. She also learned that dancing is fun, but not with an ostrich. She decided to dance with her mom and dad instead. They hugged her and kissed her and said they loved her. Lily was happy and said she loved them too. +Lily and Ben like to help their mom at the restaurant. Their mom makes good food for many people. The restaurant is busy today. Many people come to eat and talk. + +Lily and Ben sort the plates and cups. They put the big plates in one pile and the small plates in another pile. They put the cups with handles in one pile and the cups without handles in another pile. They are careful not to break anything. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben!" their mom says. "You are very helpful. Do you want to try some of the food I made?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. They are hungry and curious. Their mom gives them some bread, cheese, and fruit. They sit at a small table and eat. + +"Mom, this is yummy!" Lily says. "What is this red thing?" + +"That is a strawberry. It is sweet and juicy. Do you like it?" their mom asks. + +"I like it a lot!" Lily says. She takes another bite. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He likes the cheese best. He eats it all. + +Their mom smiles. She is happy to see them enjoy the food. She hugs them and says, "I love you, Lily and Ben. You are the best helpers ever." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play and learn new things. They were very curious about the world and always asked many questions. One day, they were going to visit their grandma, who lived in another town. They were very excited to see her and give her a big hug. + +But when they got in the car, their dad said, "Sorry, kids, we have to delay our visit. There is a big traffic jam on the road and we can't move. We have to wait until it clears up." + +Ben and Lily were sad and bored. They didn't like to wait in the car. They wanted to see their grandma and play with her toys. They looked out the window and saw many cars and trucks and buses. They wondered why they were all stuck and what they were doing. + +They decided to make up a game. They took turns to point at a vehicle and imagine who was inside and where they were going. They made up funny stories and names for the people and animals they saw. They laughed and had fun. + +"Look, there is a yellow car with a big dog in the back. His name is Spot and he is going to the park to play with his friends. He likes to chase balls and squirrels and splash in the water." + +"Look, there is a red truck with a lady in the front. Her name is Sue and she is going to the bakery to buy some cakes and pies. She likes to bake and share her treats with her neighbors and friends." + +They played their game until the traffic jam cleared up and they could move again. Their dad said, "Good job, kids, you were very patient and creative. We are almost at grandma's house. She will be very happy to see you and hear your stories." + +Ben and Lily smiled and hugged each other. They were glad they had each other and their game. They were still curious about the world and always asked many questions. But they also knew how to have fun and make the best of any situation. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they see a big billboard near the road. It has a picture of a man and a woman. They are smiling and holding apples. + +"Look, Lily, what is that?" Tom asks. + +"That is a billboard, Tom. It tells people something," Lily says. + +"What does it tell people?" Tom wonders. + +Lily reads the words on the billboard. She knows some letters. She says, "It says, 'Eat healthy, be happy'. It means that if you eat good food, like apples, you will be happy and strong." + +Tom nods. He likes apples. He says, "I want to be happy and strong. Let's go get some apples from the store." + +They run to the store and buy two apples. They are red and shiny. They pay with the money their mom gave them. Then they go back to the park. They find a nice spot under a tree. They lay on the grass and eat their apples. They are crunchy and sweet. + +They look at the billboard again. They smile and say, "We are eating healthy. We are happy." +Ben and Lily wanted to play outside. It was very cold and white. They put on hats and coats and boots. They ran to the big hill. They saw a big sled. + +"Can we use the sled?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, it looks fun!" Ben said. + +They climbed on the sled. Lily held the rope. Ben pushed the sled. The sled went very fast down the hill. They laughed and screamed. + +But the hill was icy. The sled did not stop. It went into the road. A big car was coming. The car honked. + +"Look out!" Ben shouted. + +Lily tried to pull the rope. But the rope had a knot. She could not untie it. The sled and the car crashed. Ben and Lily flew off the sled. They hit the ground hard. They did not laugh or scream. They did not move. They were hurt. The car stopped. The driver got out. He looked scared and sad. + +"Oh no, oh no, what have I done?" he said. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they found a big pile of leaves under a tree. They decided to make a secret fort with the leaves. + +"Let's scatter the leaves around and make a wall," Tom said. "Then we can hide inside and pretend we are spies." + +"OK, that sounds fun," Lily said. They worked hard and moved the leaves with their hands and feet. Soon, they had a cozy fort that no one could see. + +They crawled inside and whispered to each other. They made up stories about their missions and enemies. They giggled and had a good time. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the big dog that lived next door. He had seen the leaves moving and wanted to play. He ran towards the fort and jumped on it. The leaves flew everywhere and the fort was gone. + +"Hey, stop it, Rex!" Tom shouted. "You ruined our secret fort!" + +"Bad dog, go away!" Lily cried. They tried to chase Rex away, but he was too fast and strong. He thought they were playing with him and kept jumping and barking. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They had worked hard to make their fort and Rex had destroyed it. They felt foolish for not hiding their fort better. They wished they had a stick or a stone to scare Rex away. + +But then, they saw a man coming. It was Rex's owner, Mr. Brown. He had heard the noise and came to see what was going on. + +"Rex, come here, boy!" he called. "What are you doing? Leave those kids alone!" + +He grabbed Rex by the collar and pulled him away. He apologized to Tom and Lily and said he would keep Rex on a leash from now on. + +Tom and Lily were glad that Mr. Brown had come. They thanked him and said they were sorry for making a mess with the leaves. + +"It's OK, kids," Mr. Brown said. "It's just a pile of leaves. You can make another fort if you want. Just be careful of Rex. He likes to play, but he doesn't know his own strength." + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They decided to make another fort, but this time, they would do it far away from Rex. They hoped he would not find them again. They still liked Rex, but they liked their secret fort more. +Anna likes to play with her doll, Lily. Lily has a dress with flowers and a hat with a bow. Anna likes to hold Lily and hug her. She talks to Lily and tells her stories. + +One day, Anna and Lily go to the park with Mommy. They see a big slide and a swing. Anna wants to try them. She puts Lily on the grass and runs to the slide. She climbs up and slides down. Whee! It is fun. + +But when Anna goes back to get Lily, she sees a big dog. The dog is black and white and has a patch on his eye. He looks at Lily and barks. He picks up Lily with his mouth and runs away. Oh no! + +Anna is scared and sad. She cries and calls for Mommy. Mommy hears her and comes to help. She sees the dog and Lily. She runs after the dog and shouts. The dog is scared and drops Lily. Mommy picks up Lily and gives her to Anna. + +Anna is happy and hugs Lily. She says thank you to Mommy. Mommy says you're welcome and kisses Anna. She looks at Lily and sees a hole in her dress. She says don't worry, we can fix it. She says we can sew a patch on her dress and make it good again. Anna smiles and nods. She says Lily will like that. She says Lily is her best friend. Mommy says Anna is a good girl. They go home and sew a patch on Lily's dress. They make it pretty and colorful. Anna and Lily are happy. They love each other. The end. +Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom calling them. "Tom! Anna! Time to come in for lunch!" she said. Tom and Anna did not want to stop playing. They wanted to stay in the garden. + +"Can we play a little more, mom?" Tom asked. "Please, please, please?" + +"No, you can't, Tom," mom said. "You need to eat. Lunch is ready. Come in now." + +Tom and Anna were sad. They did not want to eat. They wanted to play. They tried to delay. They walked very slowly to the house. They stopped to pick up a stick, a leaf, a stone. They said hello to a bird, a cat, a dog. + +But then they saw something that made them happy. It was a cricket. A big, green, shiny cricket. It was hopping on the grass. It was making a chirping sound. Tom and Anna loved crickets. They wanted to catch it. + +"Look, Anna, a cricket!" Tom said. "Let's catch it!" + +"OK, Tom, let's catch it!" Anna said. + +They ran after the cricket. They tried to grab it with their hands. They tried to trap it with their hats. They tried to lure it with their snacks. But the cricket was fast and smart. It dodged and jumped and hid. Tom and Anna could not catch it. + +They forgot about lunch. They forgot about mom. They only wanted the cricket. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red fruits. They wanted to pick some fruits to eat. + +"Look, there is a fork on the ground. We can use it to reach the fruits," Tom said. + +He picked up the fork and threw it at the tree. The fork hit a branch and made a loud noise. The branch shook and a big bird flew out of the tree. The bird was angry and scared. It had a long beak and sharp claws. It was an unknown bird to Tom and Lily. + +"Help! Help!" Lily cried. "The bird is coming to strike us!" + +Tom and Lily ran away from the tree. They hid behind a fence. The bird chased them for a while, then flew away. + +Tom and Lily were safe, but they were sorry. They learned a lesson. + +"We should not throw things at the tree. We should not hurt the bird. We should be kind to the animals and the plants," Tom said. + +"Yes, you are right. We should respect the nature and the life. We should be careful with the unknown things," Lily said. + +They hugged each other and went back to their house. They told their mom what happened. Their mom was glad that they were okay. She gave them some cookies and milk. She also taught them more about the bird and the tree. Tom and Lily listened and learned. They promised to be good and gentle. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue cap. They take turns to throw the ball and catch it with the cap. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. It sees the ball and the cap. It wants to play too. It runs to Tim and Sam and grabs the ball with its mouth. It shakes the ball and makes it wet. Tim and Sam are scared. They want their ball back. + +"Hey, dog, give us our ball!" Tim shouts. + +"Go away, dog, that is our cap!" Sam cries. + +But the dog does not listen. It drops the ball and takes the cap. It runs away with the cap. Tim and Sam chase the dog. They are angry and sad. + +Lily is a girl who lives near the park. She likes animals. She sees the dog and the cap. She thinks the dog is lost. She calls the dog. + +"Hello, dog, are you lost? Do you need help?" Lily says. + +The dog hears Lily. It stops running. It wags its tail. It likes Lily. It goes to Lily and gives her the cap. Lily takes the cap and pets the dog. + +Tim and Sam catch up with the dog and Lily. They see their cap. They are happy. + +"Thank you, Lily, for getting our cap back!" Tim says. + +"Yes, thank you, Lily, you are very generous!" Sam says. + +Lily smiles. She gives the cap to Tim and Sam. She says, "You are welcome, boys. I am glad I could rescue your cap. Do you want to play with me and the dog?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, we do. What is the dog's name?" + +Lily says, "I don't know. Maybe we can give it a name. How about Rex?" + +Tim and Sam like the name. They say, "Rex is a good name. Hi, Rex!" + +Rex barks. He is happy. He likes Tim and Sam. He likes Lily. He likes to play. + +They all play together in the park. They have fun. They are friends. +Ben and Mia were brother and sister. They liked to play in their backyard. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also had a small garden where they planted flowers and vegetables. + +One day, their mom gave them a surprise. She brought home a baby chick from the farm. She said they could raise it as their pet. Ben and Mia were very enthusiastic. They named the chick Fluffy and gave it a cozy box to sleep in. + +"Can we take Fluffy to the backyard?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Fluffy is very small and fragile. You have to watch out for cats and dogs and hawks. They might try to hurt Fluffy," mom said. + +Ben and Mia nodded. They took Fluffy to the backyard and showed it their sandbox, their swing, and their slide. Fluffy peeped and flapped its wings. It seemed to like the backyard. + +But then, a big shadow fell over them. Ben and Mia looked up and saw a hawk circling in the sky. The hawk had spotted Fluffy and wanted to eat it. Ben and Mia were scared. They grabbed Fluffy and ran to the house. + +"Mom, mom, there's a hawk!" they shouted. + +Mom came out and saw the hawk. She shooed it away with a broom. She hugged Ben and Mia and Fluffy. + +"You did a good job, kids. You saved Fluffy from the hawk. You are brave and responsible. Fluffy is lucky to have you as its owners," mom said. + +Ben and Mia smiled. They were happy and proud. They loved Fluffy and Fluffy loved them. They decided to raise Fluffy in the backyard, but always under mom's watch. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy trains. They had many engines of different colors and sizes, and they made tracks on the floor and the table. One day, they found a big box in the garage that had some old toys from their dad. They opened the box and saw a very old and hairy engine that looked like a lion. It had a mane of fur and a tail that moved. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It's a lion engine! I want to play with it!" + +"No, I want to play with it!" Sam said. "It's mine!" + +They both grabbed the lion engine and pulled hard. They started to fight and yell. Their mom heard them and came to the garage. + +"Boys, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over this old toy?" + +"It's not an old toy, it's a lion engine!" Ben said. + +"And it's mine!" Sam said. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. + +Their mom shook her head. "This is not how you share and play nicely. You know what? I'm going to bury this lion engine in the backyard until you learn to get along. Maybe then you'll appreciate it more." + +She took the lion engine from their hands and went outside. Ben and Sam followed her and watched as she dug a hole and put the lion engine inside. She covered it with dirt and said, "There. Now no one can play with it. Maybe in a few days, you'll be sorry and say sorry to each other. Then I'll dig it up and give it back to you. But only if you promise to share and be kind." + +Ben and Sam felt sad and angry. They wanted the lion engine back. They looked at each other and said nothing. They went back to their room and played with their other trains, but they did not have fun. They missed the lion engine and wondered if it was lonely and cold in the ground. + +The next day, it rained hard. The water made the dirt wet and muddy. Ben and Sam looked out the window and saw the backyard. They saw a small mound of dirt where the lion engine was buried. They felt sorry for the lion engine and for themselves. They wished they had not fought over it. + +They went to their mom and said, "Mom, we're sorry. We're sorry we fought over the lion engine. We're sorry we made you angry. We're sorry we hurt the lion engine. Can we have it back, please?" + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. "I'm glad you're sorry. I'm sorry too. I was too harsh with you. I should have talked to you first. Come on, let's go get the lion engine. I hope it's still okay." + +They put on their boots and coats and went outside. They found the mound of dirt and dug it up. They saw the lion engine, but it was not the same. It was wet and dirty and muddy. Its fur was matted and its tail was limp. It looked sad and sick. + +"Oh no, look what we did!" Ben said. + +"We ruined it!" Sam said. + +They felt very bad. They tried to clean it and dry it, but it did not help. The lion engine was broken. They cried and said sorry to the lion engine. + +Their mom said, "Boys, I'm sorry too. I should have not buried it. I should have kept it safe. Maybe we can fix it somehow. Maybe we can find someone who knows how to repair old toys. Maybe we can make it happy again." + +She took the lion engine and put it in a bag. She said, "Let's go to the toy store and see if they can help us. Maybe they have a magic wand or something. Come on, don't give up hope. Maybe we can still save the lion engine." + +They got in the car and drove to the toy store. They hoped they could find a way to make the lion engine better. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to share and be kind. They learned to love and respect their toys. They learned to never bury their problems, but to face them and solve them. They learned to say sorry and forgive. They learned to hope and try. They learned to be better brothers. +Lily liked math. She liked to count and add and take away. She had a green math book with many problems to solve. She liked to spend time with her math book every day. + +One day, Lily's friend Ben came to play. Ben did not like math. He liked to draw and paint and make things. He had a big box of crayons and papers. He wanted to spend time with Lily and show her his drawings. + +"Look, Lily, I made a picture of a dragon!" Ben said. He held up a paper with a red and yellow dragon. "Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the paper. She saw the dragon had four legs, two wings, and a long tail. She thought for a moment. + +"Your dragon is nice, Ben," Lily said. "But how many legs does it have? And how many wings? And how many tails?" + +Ben frowned. He did not want to count. He wanted to draw. + +"Lily, why do you ask me that?" Ben said. "It is just a dragon. It does not matter how many legs or wings or tails it has." + +Lily smiled. She liked to count. She wanted to help Ben. + +"Ben, math is fun," Lily said. "It helps you learn about things. If you count the legs and wings and tails of your dragon, you can do math with them. You can add them or take them away or make them more or less. Do you want to try?" + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw she was happy with her math book. He wanted to be happy too. He wanted to try something new. + +"Okay, Lily," Ben said. "Show me how to do math with my dragon." He put down his paper and picked up Lily's math book. He opened it and saw many green problems. + +Lily and Ben spent time together. They counted and added and took away. They did math with the dragon and with other things. They had fun. They learned. They were friends. +Lily loved to watch the birds fly in the sky. She wished she could fly too, like a graceful swan or a fast hawk. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I fly?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "No, my dear, you can't fly. Only birds and planes and some bugs can fly. But you can do many other things that they can't." + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"Like run and jump and sing and draw and read and play and hug and love," Mom said. "You are very special, Lily, and you have many gifts." + +Lily thought about it and nodded. She was happy to be herself. She decided to show Mom one of her gifts. She took her mom's hand and led her to the backyard, where she had made a track with stones and sticks. She said, "Look, Mom, this is my track. I made it for my cars and trains. They can go fast and make noises. Do you want to play with me?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, of course, Lily. I would love to play with you. Your track is very creative and fun. You are very smart, Lily, and you have a big imagination." + +Lily and Mom played with the cars and trains on the track for a long time. They made sounds and stories and laughed a lot. Lily felt happy and loved. She didn't need to fly to have fun. She had her mom and her track and her gifts. She was very lucky, Lily, and she had a big heart. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were happy. + +"Look, Lily, a bee!" Tom said, pointing to a yellow and black insect. "It is big and makes a buzz sound. Do you like bees?" + +Lily shook her head. She was afraid of bees. She remembered when a bee stung her arm and it hurt a lot. She cried and Mom put ice on it. She did not want that to happen again. + +"Bees are not bad, Lily," Tom said. "They help the flowers grow and make honey. Honey is sweet and yummy. We eat honey on our toast. Do you like honey?" + +Lily nodded. She liked honey. It was sticky and golden and tasted good. She did not know that bees made honey. She looked at the bee again. It was flying from flower to flower. It did not seem to want to hurt her. + +"Maybe bees are not so scary, Tom," Lily said. "But I still do not want to touch them. They have sharp things on their backs. They can sting you if you make them angry." + +Tom agreed. He did not want to touch the bees either. He liked to watch them from a distance. He reminded Lily to be careful and not to run too close to the bees. They could play in the garden and enjoy the sun and the breeze. They were happy. +Tom and Sue were twins. They liked to go to the park with Mom. They played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They had fun. + +But one day, it was very hot. The sun was bright and made them sweat. They drank water from their bottles, but they still felt thirsty. They wanted to go home. + +"Mom, can we go home now?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, dear. Let's go to the bus stop. The bus will come soon," Mom said. + +They walked to the bus stop. They saw a big bus. It was yellow and had many windows. It looked nice. + +But when they got closer, they saw something wrong. The bus was not moving. It was not making any sound. It had smoke coming out of it. It looked pale and sad. + +"Mom, what's wrong with the bus?" Sue asked. + +"I don't know, dear. Maybe it's broken. Maybe it's too hot for the bus," Mom said. + +They waited for another bus. But no other bus came. They waited and waited. They felt more hot and thirsty. They felt dry. + +"Mom, I don't like this bus stop. I want to go home," Tom said. + +"Me too," Sue said. + +Mom looked at her phone. She saw a message. It said: "Sorry, all buses are cancelled today. There is a big fire in the city. Please stay safe." + +Mom felt scared. She hugged Tom and Sue. + +"Don't worry, my loves. We will find another way to go home. We will be okay," Mom said. + +She looked around. She saw a man with a bike. He had a big basket. He looked kind. + +"Excuse me, sir. Can you help us? We need to go home, but there are no buses," Mom said. + +The man looked at Mom and the twins. He smiled. + +"Sure, I can help you. Where do you live?" he asked. + +Mom told him their address. It was not far. + +"Okay, hop in. I'll take you there. It's faster and cooler than the bus," he said. + +He helped Mom and the twins get into the basket. He pedaled his bike. He was strong and fast. + +They felt the wind on their faces. They felt less hot and thirsty. They felt happy. + +They thanked the man. He waved goodbye. + +They got home. They drank cold juice. They ate cookies. They played with their toys. + +They forgot about the bus. They forgot about the fire. They were safe and happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the garden. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They also liked to pretend that they were animals and make noises. + +"Look, I'm a lion!" Tom said, roaring and putting a block on his head like a mane. "I'm the king of the jungle and I can destroy anything!" + +"I'm a bird!" Lily said, flapping her arms and putting a block on her back like a wing. "I can fly high and see everything!" + +They were having fun, but they did not see the big dog that was watching them from behind the fence. The dog was hungry and angry. He did not like children or blocks. He wanted to destroy them. + +The dog jumped over the fence and ran towards Tom and Lily. He barked loudly and showed his teeth. He knocked over their blocks and bit them. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily cried. "Go away, bad dog! You are ignorant and mean!" + +Their mom heard their cries and came out of the house. She saw the dog and grabbed a broom. She hit the dog with the broom and chased him away. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" she asked, hugging Tom and Lily. "I'm sorry, that dog was ignorant and dangerous. He should not have come here." + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. Their blocks were destroyed and their game was ruined. They hugged their mom and thanked her for saving them. + +"Can we get some new blocks, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my sweeties," mom said. "But first, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. You were very brave and smart. You are my favorite animals." +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to a big tree and hides behind it. He hopes Anna will not find him. + +Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the park and tries to find Ben. She sees a swing, a slide, a bench, and some flowers, but no Ben. She thinks he is very good at hiding. + +She walks to the big tree and hears a noise. She peeks behind it and sees Ben. He has a brown hat on his head and a brown scarf around his neck. He is trying to look like the tree. Anna laughs and says, "I found you, Ben! You are not a tree, you are a boy!" + +Ben jumps out from behind the tree and says, "You are very smart, Anna! You win this game. But I have an idea. Let's play again and this time I will be the seeker and you will be the hider. Maybe you can find a better hiding spot than me." + +Anna agrees and says, "OK, Ben. Let's play again. But you have to count to ten first. And no peeking!" She runs away to find a new hiding spot. She thinks maybe she can hide under the slide or behind the bench. She wants to win the next game. She likes playing hide and seek with Ben. They are good friends. +Lily loved her doll very much. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pink dress and a hat. Lily and Anna played every day. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Lily. But Lily did not want to share Anna with Tom. She said, "No, Tom, Anna is mine. Go away!" + +Tom got angry and grabbed Anna from Lily. He pulled and pulled, but Lily did not let go. They both tugged on Anna until they heard a rip. Anna's dress was torn and her arm was loose. Lily and Tom gasped and dropped Anna. Lily started to cry. + +"Look what you did, Tom! You broke Anna! She is fragile, you know. She needs a stitch!" Lily sobbed. + +Tom felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to hurt Anna or Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just trying to have fun. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sad too. She sniffed and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to help me fix Anna. She is my best friend." + +Tom nodded and hugged Lily. They took Anna to their mom and asked her to sew Anna's dress and arm. Mom smiled and said, "Of course, sweeties. I can fix Anna. She will be good as new in no time." + +Lily and Tom thanked mom and waited patiently. They learned to be more careful with Anna and to share with each other. They also learned that a stitch can mend a tear, but a hug can mend a heart. +Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a dream about a big cake with candles. She wanted to eat the cake, but it was too high. She tried to jump, but she could not reach it. She felt sad. + +Then she heard a sound. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, wake up. It is your birthday. I have a surprise for you." + +Lily opened her eyes. She saw her mom smiling. She said, "Mom, I had a dream about a cake. But I could not get it." + +Mom said, "Don't worry, my sweet. I have a real cake for you. And it is not too high. Come, I will show you." + +Lily got out of her bed. She followed her mom to the kitchen. There she saw a big cake with candles. It was on the table. It had her name on it. She was happy. + +Mom said, "This cake is for you, Lily. You can blow the candles and make a wish. And then we can eat it together. Do you like it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. I love it. Thank you. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom said, "You are welcome, my love. You are the best daughter ever. Happy birthday, Lily." + +They hugged and kissed. Then they blew the candles and cut the cake. They ate the cake and laughed. They had a fun day. Lily was glad. She forgot about her dream. She had a real cake. And she had her mom. She had everything she needed. +Sara was a gifted girl. She could sing and draw and read very well. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. Every morning, she would wake up early and go to the garden. She loved to see the flowers and the birds and the bugs. + +One day, she saw something strange in the hedge. It was a big, round, shiny ball. It looked like a balloon, but it did not float. It was stuck in the hedge. Sara was curious. She wanted to touch it and see what it was. She walked closer and reached out her hand. + +But as soon as she touched the ball, it made a loud noise. It was not a balloon, it was a horn. It was a horn that belonged to a unicorn. The unicorn was hiding in the hedge. It was shy and scared of people. But when it heard Sara's voice, it felt calm and friendly. It came out of the hedge and looked at Sara with its big, bright eyes. + +Sara was amazed. She had never seen a unicorn before. She thought they were only in books and stories. She smiled and said hello. The unicorn smiled back and nodded. It let Sara pet its soft fur and mane. It liked Sara. It thought she was gifted too. It decided to be her friend. It gave her a ride on its back and showed her the magic of the garden. Sara was happy. She had found a new friend and a new adventure. She thanked the unicorn and hugged it. She said she would come back tomorrow. The unicorn nodded and went back to the hedge. It waited for Sara to wake up and play again. +Anna was sick. She had a red nose and a sore throat. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to sleep. + +Mama came to her room with a spoon and a bottle. "Anna, you need to take your medicine. It will make you feel better," Mama said. + +Anna did not like medicine. It was bitter and yucky. She shook her head and hid under the blanket. "No, Mama, no medicine. I want juice," she said. + +Mama sighed. She knew Anna was scared of medicine. She tried to be gentle. "I know, sweetie, but juice will not help you. Medicine will. Look, it is not so bad. It is pink and sweet. And it has a picture of a bunny on the bottle. Do you like bunnies?" + +Anna peeked out of the blanket. She saw the bottle. It was open and had a label with a bunny. She liked bunnies. They were soft and cute. She wondered if the medicine was really sweet. She seemed curious. + +Mama smiled. She saw Anna's eyes. She hoped she could convince her. "Yes, bunnies are nice. And so is this medicine. It is like candy. Do you want to try a little bit? Just one spoon. Then you can have some juice and a hug." + +Anna thought for a moment. She did not want to be sick. She wanted to be well and play. She wanted juice and a hug. Maybe the medicine was not so bad. Maybe it was like candy. She nodded slowly. "Okay, Mama. One spoon. But only one." + +Mama was happy. She gave Anna the spoon. Anna opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine. It was not bitter and yucky. It was pink and sweet. It tasted like strawberries. She liked strawberries. She smiled. + +"Good girl, Anna. You did it. You took your medicine. I am proud of you," Mama said. She gave Anna some juice and a hug. She kissed her forehead. "Now you can rest and get better. I love you, sweetie." + +Anna felt warm and cozy. She drank her juice and hugged Mama back. She loved Mama. She said, "I love you, Mama. Thank you for the medicine. And the bunny." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Sara and Tom went to the shop with Mom. They wanted to buy a new screen for their room. Mom said screens were fragile and they had to be careful. + +At the shop, Sara and Tom saw many screens. Some were big, some were small, some were colorful, some were black and white. Sara liked a screen with flowers and birds. Tom liked a screen with cars and planes. + +"Can we buy this one, Mom?" Sara asked, pointing to the screen with flowers and birds. + +"No, Sara, that screen is too expensive. And it is not for kids. It is for grown-ups who like art," Mom said. + +"What about this one, Mom?" Tom asked, pointing to the screen with cars and planes. + +"No, Tom, that screen is too noisy. And it is not for kids. It is for grown-ups who like games," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom felt sad. They did not like any other screen. They wanted to buy a screen for their room. + +Then they saw a screen with animals. It had lions and tigers and bears and monkeys and elephants and giraffes. It was not too big, not too small, not too expensive, not too noisy. It was just right. + +"Can we buy this one, Mom?" Sara and Tom asked together. + +"Yes, you can buy this one, Mom said. "But you have to be very careful. This screen is fragile. If you drop it or hit it or scratch it, it will break. And then you will have no screen." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They promised to be very careful. They were happy. They bought the screen with animals for their room. They thanked Mom and the shopkeeper. They went home with their new screen. They watched the animals and learned their names and sounds. They had fun. They loved their screen. +Lily liked to count. She counted her toys, her books, her fingers and toes. She counted the stars at night and the flowers in the garden. She counted everything she saw. + +One day, she found a green crown in a box. It was shiny and pretty. She put it on her head and felt like a queen. She wanted to count how many jewels were on the crown. She looked at the crown and started to count. + +One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. She counted ten jewels on the crown. She was happy. She wanted to show her mom and dad. + +She ran to the living room, where her mom and dad were watching TV. She shouted, "Look, look, I found a green crown! It has ten jewels! I counted them!" + +Her mom and dad smiled and hugged her. They said, "That's wonderful, Lily! You are very good at counting. And you know what? That green crown is very special. It was your grandma's crown. She gave it to us before she went to heaven. She wanted you to have it when you were old enough. She loved you very much, and so do we." + +Lily felt warm and happy. She hugged her mom and dad back. She said, "I love you too. And I love grandma. And I love my green crown. It is the best crown ever." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some red berries on a bush. Lily wanted to pick them and eat them. Ben tried to warn her. + +"Stop, Lily! Those berries are bad. They can make you sick. Mom said so," Ben said. + +But Lily was stubborn. She did not listen to Ben. She picked some berries and put them in her mouth. She made a face. The berries were sour and bitter. + +"Yuck! These berries are not good. They are icky," Lily said. She spat them out. + +Ben shook his head. He was glad Lily did not eat more berries. He took her hand and led her to the house. + +"Come on, Lily. Let's go inside and have some juice. Mom will be happy to see us," Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She was sorry she did not listen to Ben. She learned her lesson. She decided to be more careful next time. She hugged Ben and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Ben. You were right. Thank you for warning me," Lily said. + +Ben smiled. He hugged Lily back. He was happy she was okay. He loved his sister. They went inside and had some juice. They were good friends. The end. +Tom liked to play with his trumpet. He liked to make loud noises and pretend he was a king. He did not like to share his trumpet with anyone. He did not like when his mom told him to stop. + +One day, he found a mysterious box in his room. He opened it and saw a shiny new trumpet. It was bigger and prettier than his old one. He was very happy and threw his old trumpet away. He picked up the new trumpet and blew into it. + +But nothing happened. No sound came out. He tried again and again, but still nothing. He was confused and angry. He looked at the box and saw a note. It said: "This is a magic trumpet. It will only make sound if you are nice and share with others. If you are selfish and mean, it will be silent forever." + +Tom did not like the note. He did not want to be nice and share. He wanted to make loud noises and be a king. He threw the note away and stomped on the box. He yelled at the new trumpet and tried to break it. + +But the trumpet was strong and did not break. It just stayed silent and shiny. Tom cried and cried. He wanted his old trumpet back. But it was too late. He had thrown it away and someone else had found it. He had no trumpet to play with. He was very sad and lonely. He wished he had listened to his mom and shared with others. But he did not. And that was the end of his story. +Lily liked to record her voice with her toy phone. She would say funny things and then listen to them. She thought it was very impressive. + +One day, she saw her brother Tom playing with his bike. He had a big wheel and a small wheel. He could go very fast and make loud noises. + +"Can I record your bike?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, this is my bike. Go away!" Tom said. He did not want to share. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to record something impressive too. She had an idea. She ran to the garage and found her dad's car. She opened the door and climbed inside. She saw a big wheel on the dashboard. She pressed a button and the wheel started to spin. + +"Wow, this is impressive!" Lily said. She held her toy phone near the wheel and recorded the sound. + +But then, she heard a loud honk. She looked outside and saw her dad. He was very angry. He ran to the car and opened the door. + +"Lily, what are you doing? This is not a toy. You could have hurt yourself or damaged the car!" he shouted. + +Lily felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to make her dad angry. She gave him her toy phone and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to record something impressive. Like Tom's bike." + +Dad looked at the phone and saw the recording. He sighed and hugged Lily. + +"I understand, Lily. But you have to be careful and ask before you touch things that are not yours. And you know what? You don't need to record something impressive to be impressive. You are impressive just the way you are." he said. + +Lily smiled and hugged her dad back. She felt happy and loved. She learned a lesson that day. She decided to record something else. She recorded her dad's voice saying, "I love you, Lily. You are impressive." She listened to it over and over. She thought it was the most impressive sound ever. +Lily liked to help her mom with the mail. Every day, they walked to the mailbox at the end of the street. Lily opened the mailbox and took out the letters. She gave them to her mom. Sometimes, there was a letter for Lily too. She liked those letters best. + +One day, Lily saw a big envelope in the mailbox. It had her name on it. She was very happy. She opened the envelope and found a card and a cookie. The card had a picture of a cat and said, "Happy birthday, Lily! I miss you. Love, Grandma." The cookie had sprinkles and a candle on it. + +Lily smiled and hugged the card and the cookie. She said, "Thank you, Grandma!" She wanted to tell Grandma how much she loved her. She asked her mom, "Can we call Grandma?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's return the envelope to the mailbox. We need to put a stamp on it and write our address. Then, Grandma will get our letter too." + +Lily nodded. She put the card and the cookie in the envelope. She helped her mom put a stamp on it and write their address. They walked back to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. Lily waved to the mailbox and said, "Bye, Grandma! See you soon!" + +Then, they went home. Lily ate the cookie. It was delicious. She felt happy and warm. She said, "I love Grandma. And I love mail." +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. It had many legs and a funny face. + +"Look, Mia, a caterpillar!" Tom said. "Do you think it can perform tricks?" + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it can wiggle or roll or jump," Mia said. "Let's see what it can do." + +They picked up the leaf and brought it closer to their faces. The caterpillar felt their breath and moved its head. It opened its mouth and showed its tiny teeth. + +"Wow, it can perform a scary smile!" Tom said. "It looks like it wants to bite us!" + +"Yikes, it does look scary!" Mia said. "Let's put it back on the plant. Maybe it is hungry or angry." + +They gently placed the leaf on the stem. The caterpillar crawled away and hid under another leaf. Tom and Mia decided to look for a different bug to play with. They hoped the caterpillar would find a friend and be happy. +Tom is a young boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of cars, trains, planes and boats. He likes to make them zoom and crash and fly. He feels happy when he plays with his toys. + +One day, his mom tells him that they are going to visit his grandma. Tom likes his grandma, but he does not like to sit still and be quiet. He wants to play with his toys. He feels sad and angry. He says, "No, mom, I don't want to go!" + +His mom says, "Tom, don't be rude. Grandma loves you and she misses you. She has a surprise for you. Maybe you will like it. Come on, let's go." + +Tom follows his mom, but he is still sad and angry. He does not smile or talk. He feels bored in the car. + +When they get to grandma's house, grandma is waiting for them. She hugs Tom and says, "Hello, my sweet boy. I'm so happy to see you. I have something for you. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom does not answer. He looks at the floor. He feels shy and grumpy. + +Grandma says, "Come with me. I have it in my room." She takes Tom by the hand and leads him to her room. She opens a drawer and takes out a small box. She says, "This was my toy when I was a young girl. It is very old and special. I want to give it to you. Do you know what it is?" + +Tom looks at the box. He sees a shiny metal thing with a glass eye. He does not know what it is. He feels curious and confused. + +Grandma says, "It is a robot. It can talk and move and do tricks. Watch this." She presses a button on the robot's back. The robot says, "Hello, I am Robo. I am your friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom's eyes widen. He feels surprised and excited. He says, "Wow, a robot! Yes, I want to play with you!" + +Grandma smiles and says, "I'm glad you like it. You can keep it. It is yours. But you have to be careful with it. It is very old and fragile. Don't drop it or break it. OK?" + +Tom nods and says, "OK, grandma. Thank you, grandma. I love you, grandma." + +Grandma hugs him and says, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good boy. Now go and have fun with Robo. But don't forget to come back and visit me. OK?" + +Tom nods and says, "OK, grandma. I will come back and visit you. Bye, grandma." + +Grandma winks at him and says, "Bye, Tom. Have fun." + +Tom runs to the living room with Robo. He feels happy and grateful. He plays with Robo and his toys. He makes them zoom and crash and fly. He forgets to be sad and angry. He smiles and talks. He feels like a young boy. +Lily and Sam like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They make houses, roads, farms, and stories. They have fun together. + +One day, Lily wants to create a big tower with all the blocks. She says to Sam, "Let's make a tower. It will be very tall and pretty." Sam nods and helps her. They stack the blocks on top of each other, higher and higher. + +But then, Sam sees a car that he likes. He says to Lily, "I want to play with this car. It is red and fast." He takes the car and zooms it around the floor. Lily says, "No, Sam, don't take the car. We need it for the tower. It is the top block." She tries to grab the car from Sam. + +Sam does not want to give the car to Lily. He says, "No, Lily, it is my car. I want to play with it. It is fun and quick." He pulls the car away from Lily. They tug and tug, until the car breaks. The car is broken. It has no wheels and no lights. Lily and Sam are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the tower. She says to Lily and Sam, "What happened here? Why are you crying and shouting?" Lily and Sam tell her what they did. Mom says, "You should not fight over your toys. You should share and be kind. You should say sorry to each other and fix the car. Then you can create something else together." Lily and Sam nod and hug. They say sorry to each other and fix the car. They are happy again. They create a new story with the car and the tower. They have fun together. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They are careful not to make the tower fall. + +Lily finds a brilliant block. It is shiny and has many colors. She wants to put it on the top of the tower. She says, "Look, Ben, this block is brilliant. It will make our tower look beautiful." + +Ben agrees. He says, "Yes, Lily, that block is brilliant. Let's finish our tower with it." He helps Lily to reach the top of the tower. They put the brilliant block on the last block. They are happy. They have finished their tower. + +They stand back and look at their tower. It is very tall and colorful. They clap their hands and smile. They say, "We did it! We made a brilliant tower!" + +But then, a big dog comes running. It sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. It jumps and barks. It knocks down the tower with its paw. The blocks go flying everywhere. The brilliant block falls on the floor. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They say, "Oh, no! Our tower is gone! The dog ruined it!" They cry and hug each other. + +The dog feels sorry. It does not mean to be bad. It licks Lily and Ben's faces. It wags its tail. It says, "Woof, woof. I'm sorry. I just want to play." + +Lily and Ben stop crying. They see the dog is friendly. They say, "It's okay, dog. We forgive you. You can play with us." They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They say, "Let's make another tower. And this time, we will share it with the dog." +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fought over them. Anna wanted Ben's cars and Ben wanted Anna's dolls. They were jealous of each other. + +One day, their mom said they were going on a holiday. They were very happy. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove to a big farm. There were many animals and plants. They saw cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, horses, and dogs. They also saw apples, pears, corn, and pumpkins. + +The farmer gave them a basket and told them to pick some apples. Anna and Ben ran to the apple trees. They tried to reach the red and shiny apples. They pulled and tugged and shook the branches. Some apples fell to the ground. They put them in the basket. But they also wanted the apples on the top. They climbed on each other's shoulders. They stretched their arms. They almost got them. + +But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog came running to them. He wanted to play. He jumped and licked them. Anna and Ben were scared. They fell off each other. The basket tipped over. The apples rolled and bounced. They scattered everywhere. The dog chased the apples. He bit and chewed them. He made a big mess. + +Anna and Ben cried. They were sorry. They ran to their mom. She hugged them and said it was okay. She said the dog was friendly and just wanted to have fun. She said they could pick more apples later. She said they should share and help each other. She said they were lucky to have each other. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They said they loved each other. They said they loved the farm. They said they loved the holiday. They smiled and hugged. They were not jealous anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit the park with their moms. The park has a big flag. The flag is red, white and blue. It has stars and stripes. + +"Look, Ben, the flag is flying!" Anna says. + +"Yes, it is. Do you know what the flag means?" Ben asks. + +Anna shakes her head. She does not know. + +"The flag is a sign of our country. Our country is called America. We live in America. The flag shows that we are loyal to America. Loyal means we love and respect our country," Ben explains. + +Anna nods. She thinks that is nice. + +"Can we be loyal to other things too?" she wonders. + +"Sure, we can. We can be loyal to our families, our friends, our pets, our toys, anything we care about," Ben says. + +Anna smiles. She has an idea. + +"Let's make our own flags. We can draw what we are loyal to on them. Then we can wave them in the park," she suggests. + +Ben likes the idea. He agrees. + +They find some paper and crayons. They draw their flags. Anna draws her mom, her dad, her baby brother, her dog and her doll. Ben draws his mom, his dad, his sister, his cat and his bike. They are proud of their flags. + +They run to the park. They wave their flags. They shout, "We are loyal!" + +The moms see them. They laugh. They hug them. They are happy. + +The end. +Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some soap. They make bubbles with their hands and blow them in the air. They laugh and clap when they see the bubbles float and pop. + +"Look, Lila, I made a big bubble!" Ben says, holding a soap wand in front of his mouth. + +"Wow, Ben, that's amazing!" Lila says, admiring the bubble. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lila, here you go." Ben gives her the soap wand. Lila dips it in the water and blows gently. She makes a big bubble too. + +"Yay, Lila, you did it!" Ben cheers. + +They take turns making and popping bubbles. They have so much fun. They don't notice that their mom is watching them from the window. She smiles and thinks how graceful and happy they look. She is proud of them. They are good children. They work hard at school and help at home. They deserve to play and have fun. She loves them very much. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play act. They pretend to be different people and animals. Sometimes they act like lions, sometimes they act like teachers, sometimes they act like pirates. + +One day, they decide to act like they live in a big city. They use boxes and pillows to make buildings and cars. They wear hats and glasses and bags. They talk in loud voices and walk fast. They act like they have important things to do. + +But they are not very good at acting like city people. They bump into each other and drop their things. They forget where they are going and get lost. They make silly noises and faces. They make each other laugh a lot. + +Their mom and dad watch them from the window. They smile and shake their heads. They think Lily and Tom are very silly and cute. They are happy that they have such fun and creative children. They love them very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +Then they see a man. He has a map. He looks at the map. He looks confused. + +"Can we help you?" Lily asks. + +"Hello, little ones. I am looking for the zoo. Do you know where the zoo is?" the man asks. + +Lily and Ben look at the map. They see a picture of a lion. They point to the lion. + +"The zoo is there!" they say. + +"Thank you, thank you. You are very kind and smart. And attractive!" the man says. + +He smiles. He gives them a sticker. The sticker has a lion on it. + +"Wow, thank you!" Lily and Ben say. + +They stick the sticker on their shirts. They are happy. + +They wave goodbye to the man. They go back to the slide. They play some more. They have a good day. +Tim and Mia are friends who like to swim in the pool. One day, they see a big pizza on a table near the pool. They are very hungry and want to eat some pizza. + +"Look, pizza!" Tim says. "Let's go get some." + +"But we have to ask first," Mia says. "Maybe it is not for us." + +Tim does not listen. He dives out of the pool and runs to the table. He grabs a slice of pizza and bites it. It is very hot and spicy. He feels his mouth burn and his eyes water. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. "This pizza is bad!" + +Mia dives out of the pool and goes to help him. She sees a sign on the table that says: "Warning: Hot and Spicy Pizza. For Adults Only." + +"Tim, you should have read the sign," she says. "This pizza is not for kids. It is too hot and spicy. You should have asked before you took it." + +Tim feels sorry and ashamed. He learns his lesson. He says sorry to Mia and to the owner of the pizza. He drinks some water and cools his mouth. + +The moral of the story is: Always ask before you take something that is not yours. And always read the signs. They are there to help you. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for dolls, a box for cars, a box for blocks and a box for books. She made a sign for each box with a picture and a word. She was very proud of her work. + +One day, she saw a new toy in the living room. It was a big, soft bear with a red bow. She wanted to play with it, but she did not know where to put it. She looked at her boxes, but none of them matched the bear. She thought hard. + +She decided to make a new box for the bear. She found an empty box and some paper. She drew a picture of the bear and wrote "bear" under it. She put the sign on the box and the bear inside. She smiled. + +She did not see her mom watching her from the door. Her mom had a pale face and tears in her eyes. She had bought the bear for Lily's brother, who was very sick in the hospital. She wanted to give him the bear to make him feel better. She did not know how to tell Lily. + +She walked over to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you are very good at organizing your toys. You are very smart and kind. I have something to tell you. It is about your brother." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they see a big pile of mud near the garden. They think it is incredible. They want to make a mud castle. + +They run to the mud and start to dig and shape it. They use sticks and stones and leaves to decorate it. They are very happy and proud of their work. They talk to each other. + +"Look at our mud castle, Mia! It is the best in the world!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is amazing! We are very good at making mud castles!" Mia says. + +They are so busy playing that they do not hear their mothers calling them. They do not see the dark clouds in the sky. They do not feel the wind getting stronger. + +Suddenly, it starts to rain. The rain is very heavy and fast. It washes away their mud castle. It makes the mud wet and sticky. It ruins their clothes and shoes. They are very sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +"Where is our mud castle, Mia? It is gone! The rain is bad! It is not fair!" Tom says. + +"I know, Tom, it is not fair! The rain is bad! It ruined our mud castle! We worked so hard!" Mia says. + +Their mothers come to get them. They are not happy either. They scold them for playing in the mud and not listening to them. They take them inside and clean them up. They tell them to finish their lunch and take a nap. + +Tom and Mia are still sad and angry. They do not want to finish their lunch. They do not want to take a nap. They do not want to listen to their mothers. They do not want to be friends anymore. + +But after a while, they start to feel hungry and tired. They finish their lunch and go to their beds. They close their eyes and think about their mud castle. They remember how much fun they had making it. They remember how incredible it was. They remember how happy they were with each other. They feel sorry for being mean and rude. They want to say sorry and be friends again. + +They get up and go to each other's room. They knock on the door and hug each other. They say sorry and smile. They are friends again. + +They learn a lesson. They learn that playing in the mud is fun, but they have to listen to their mothers and watch the weather. They learn that the rain is not bad, but it can change things. They learn that their mud castle is not the most important thing, but their friendship is. They learn that saying sorry and being kind is better than being angry and rude. They are happy again. +Lily liked to play with her toy cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She liked to make them zoom and beep on the floor. She also liked to fix them when they broke. She had a small toolbox with a hammer, a screwdriver and some tape. She pretended to be a mechanic. + +One day, she saw a new boy in the park. He had a big red car that looked very shiny and fast. Lily wanted to play with him and his car. She walked over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you and your car?" + +The boy looked at her and frowned. He was grumpy. He said, "No, you can't. This is my car and I don't want to share it. Go away." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That's not nice. Sharing is fun. You should invite me to play with you and your car. Maybe I can help you fix it if it breaks." + +The boy said, "It won't break. It's the best car ever. And I don't need your help. You're just a girl. You don't know anything about cars. You're a bad mechanic." + +Lily said, "That's not true. I know a lot about cars. I have many toy cars and I fix them all the time. You're a bad friend. You're mean and rude. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She turned around and walked away. She saw another girl in the park who had a yellow bike. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you and your bike?" + +The girl said, "Sure, you can. I'm Anna. I like your toy cars. They look fun. Do you want to ride my bike?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for inviting me. You're a good friend. You're nice and kind. Do you want to play with my toy cars?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I do. They look cool. Maybe we can pretend to be mechanics and fix them together." + +Lily and Anna became friends. They played with their cars and bikes. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Tom has a hammer. Sam has a car. Tom wants to use his hammer on Sam's car. Sam says no. + +"Please, Sam, let me hammer your car. It will be fun," Tom says. + +"No, Tom, you will break my car. It is my favorite toy. Go away," Sam says. + +Tom is angry. He does not listen to Sam. He grabs Sam's car and hits it with his hammer. Sam cries. He runs to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, Tom broke my car. He is bad. He used his hammer on my car," Sam says. + +Mom is sad. She sees Sam's car. It is broken. She sees Tom. He is holding his hammer. He looks sorry. + +"Tom, why did you break Sam's car? That was not nice. You hurt Sam's feelings. You need to say sorry to Sam and pray to God for forgiveness," Mom says. + +Tom feels bad. He knows he did wrong. He gives his hammer to Mom. He goes to Sam. He hugs him. + +"Sorry, Sam, I was wrong. I should not have broken your car. I was selfish. Will you forgive me?" Tom says. + +Sam is still sad. But he loves his brother. He hugs him back. + +"Okay, Tom, I forgive you. But please do not break my toys again. They are important to me," Sam says. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of her boys. They learned a lesson. They are kind to each other. They pray to God together. They thank Him for their toys and their family. They ask Him to help them be good. They say amen. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a snake on the grass. It was long and green and had black spots. + +"Look, a snake!" Tom said. "Let's play with it!" + +"No, Tom, snakes are bad. They can bite you and make you sick. We should go away," Lily said. + +But Tom was brave. He wanted to touch the snake. He walked to the snake and said, "Hello, snake. Do you want to play with me?" + +The snake did not want to play. It was angry and scared. It hissed and showed its teeth. Then it bit Tom on the hand. Tom screamed and fell down. He felt a lot of pain. + +Lily ran to Tom and saw the blood. She was very scared and sad. She cried and called for help. "Help, help, Tom is hurt! The snake bit him!" + +A man heard Lily and came to them. He saw the snake and the bite. He picked up Tom and said, "Oh no, this is a bad snake. It has poison. We need to go to the hospital fast." + +He took Tom and Lily to his car and drove to the hospital. He hoped Tom would be okay. But Tom was not okay. The poison was too strong. Tom died in the hospital. Lily lost her friend. She was very sorry and wished she had stopped Tom from playing with the snake. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They like to slide down the hill and make mud pies. They are very happy and dirty. + +"Look, I made a big mud pie!" Mia says. "It has leaves and rocks on it. Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you," Tim says. "I want to slide more. It is fun and fast." + +He runs to the top of the hill and slides down. He laughs and shouts. Mia watches him and smiles. + +But then, Tim slides too fast and falls. He hurts his knee and it bleeds. He cries and holds his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he says. "It hurts a lot!" + +Mia runs to him and hugs him. She says, "Don't cry, Tim. You are strong. You can quit crying. I will help you." + +She takes a cloth from her pocket and wipes his knee. She says, "There, it is better now. Do you want to play some more?" + +Tim looks at her and nods. He says, "Yes, I want to play. But not slide. Let's make mud pies together." + +They go to the mud and make mud pies. They are happy and dirty again. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. It is fun and fast. + +One day, they see a new slide in the park. It is round and shiny. It looks like a big ring. Tom and Lily want to try it. + +But there is a problem. There is a big boy on the round slide. He does not let anyone else slide. He says it is his slide. He is mean and loud. + +Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They want to slide on the round slide too. They wait and wait, but the big boy does not move. + +Then, Tom has an idea. He whispers to Lily. They nod and smile. They run to the swings. They swing high and fast. They make a lot of noise. + +The big boy hears them. He is curious. He leaves the round slide and goes to the swings. He wants to swing too. + +Tom and Lily see him. They jump off the swings. They run to the round slide. They slide on it together. It is fun and fast. They laugh and cheer. + +The big boy sees them. He is mad. He runs to the round slide. But it is too late. Tom and Lily are already sliding. They do not let him slide. They say it is their slide. They are proud and loud. +Sam and Mia like to play with their toys in the garden. They have a big box of toys with cars, dolls, balls and books. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, it rains a lot. The rain does not stop. The garden becomes a flood. The water is very high and wet. Sam and Mia are sad. They cannot play with their toys. The toys are in the box under the water. + +Sam has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's change our game. We can pretend we are fish. We can swim in the water and look for our toys. Maybe we can find them and save them." + +Mia likes the idea. She says, "OK, let's be fish. But we need something to fit on our heads. We cannot breathe under the water." + +Sam and Mia look around. They see their dad's hats on the porch. They run and get them. They put them on their heads. They say, "Now we are fish. We have hats to help us breathe." + +They jump into the water. They swim and splash. They look for their toys. They find some of them and bring them to the porch. They are happy. They say, "We are good fish. We saved our toys." + +Their mom sees them. She laughs. She says, "You are very wet and silly. But you are also very clever and brave. Come inside and get dry. I have a surprise for you." + +Sam and Mia follow their mom. They wonder what the surprise is. They hope it is something fun. They like to change their game and have fun. +Lily was a cat who liked to sleep a lot. She slept on the sofa, on the bed, on the chair, and sometimes on the floor. She slept in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She slept when it was sunny, when it was rainy, and when it was snowy. + +But sometimes, Lily woke up and felt like playing. She would stretch her legs, her back, her tail, and her claws. She would yawn and lick her fur. She would look for something fun to do. She would chase a ball, a mouse, a bird, or a bug. She would jump, run, pounce, and scratch. She would make a lot of noise and mess. + +Lily's family loved her, but they did not always like her wild games. They would say, "Lily, stop that! You are too loud! You are too rough! You are breaking things! You are scaring us!" They would try to calm her down, to pet her, to feed her, to play with her. But Lily did not want to stop. She wanted to have fun. She wanted to be wild. + +One day, Lily found a new toy. It was a clock. It had a round face, two hands, and a tick-tock sound. Lily thought it was very interesting. She wanted to play with it. She pushed it with her paw, she bit it with her teeth, she shook it with her head. She made the clock move faster, slower, and backwards. She made the clock stop, start, and jump. She made the clock fly, fall, and break. + +Lily was very happy. She had a lot of fun. She did not care about the time. She did not care about the clock. She did not care about anything. She was wild. + +But Lily's family was not happy. They were very angry. They said, "Lily, look what you did! You ruined the clock! You messed up the time! You made us late! You made us miss things! You made us sad!" They scolded her, they ignored her, they punished her. They did not play with her. They did not pet her. They did not feed her. + +Lily was very sorry. She did not mean to be bad. She did not mean to hurt anyone. She did not mean to be wild. She just wanted to play. She wanted to have fun. She wanted to be loved. + +Lily learned her lesson. She decided to be more careful, more gentle, more quiet. She decided to sleep more, to play less, to be good. She decided to stretch only when she woke up, to play only with her toys, to be wild only in her dreams. +Lily and Tom were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a big basket. They also brought a blanket, a ball and some books. + +They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. Mom and Dad spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. Lily and Tom helped them to take out the food and drinks. + +"Can we eat now?" Lily asked. She was very hungry. + +"Not yet, sweetie," Mom said. "We have to wait for Dad. He went to get some water from the fountain." + +Lily sighed. She was not very patient. She wanted to eat right away. She looked at the basket and saw a red apple. She reached out her hand to grab it. + +"Stop, Lily!" Tom said. He saw what she was doing. "You have to wait for Dad. He will be back soon." + +"But I'm hungry," Lily whined. She leaned closer to the basket and tried to get the apple. + +Tom leaned over and pushed her back. "No, Lily, that's not nice. You have to share with everyone. Be patient." + +Lily frowned. She did not like Tom pushing her. She pushed him back. They both fell off the blanket and onto the grass. They started to fight. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and turned around. They saw Lily and Tom rolling on the ground, pulling each other's hair and kicking each other's legs. + +"Hey, hey, hey!" Dad shouted. He ran over and picked them up. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting and looked at Dad. They both pointed at the basket and said, "She/he wanted to eat the apple!" + +Dad shook his head. He was not happy. He carried them back to the blanket and sat them down. He looked at them sternly and said, "Lily and Tom, you have to be patient and polite. You can't take the food without asking. You have to wait for everyone to be ready. And you can't fight with each other. You have to be kind and gentle. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Dad." + +Dad smiled. He hugged them and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to promise me to behave better next time. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Tom nodded again. They said, "We promise, Dad." + +Dad kissed them and said, "Good. Now, let's eat. The water is here. The food is here. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. We have everything we need for a nice picnic. Don't we?" + +Lily and Tom smiled. They said, "Yes, we do, Dad." + +They all ate and drank and enjoyed the picnic. They also played with the ball and read the books. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. They learned to be patient and polite. They loved each other. The end. +Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a black cat in the park. The cat is soft and friendly. It purrs when they pet it. + +"Can we keep it?" Jill asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask mom and dad," Ben says. + +They take the cat home and show it to their parents. Their parents are not happy. They say the cat is dirty and has fleas. They say they have to give it back to the park. + +"But we love the cat!" Jill and Ben cry. + +They hug the cat and kiss it on the head. The cat meows and licks their faces. + +Their parents see how much they care for the cat. They feel sorry for them. They say they can keep the cat if they promise to wash it and take it to the vet. + +Jill and Ben are very happy. They thank their parents and promise to take good care of the cat. They name the cat Lucky. They learn that being kind and gentle to animals is good. They also learn that sometimes they have to listen to their parents and do what they say. They are good friends to Lucky and to each other. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. Mom had a phone in her bag. She used it to talk to dad and grandma. Sometimes she let Tim and Lily play games on it. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It was black and brown and had a loud bark. Tim and Lily were scared of the dog. They ran to mom and hugged her. Mom said, "Don't worry, it's just a friendly dog. He won't hurt you." + +But the dog was not friendly. He saw mom's bag and smelled something good. He ran to the bag and grabbed it with his teeth. He ran away with the bag and the phone. Mom shouted, "Hey, stop! That's my bag! That's my phone!" + +Tim and Lily cried. They wanted mom's phone back. They liked to play games on it. They wanted to talk to dad and grandma. Mom was sad and angry. She tried to chase the dog, but he was too fast. He disappeared into the woods with the bag and the phone. + +Mom, Tim and Lily went home. They had no phone, no games, no dad, no grandma. They felt very bad. They learned a lesson. They learned that phones are not toys. They learned that they should not leave their things alone. They learned that some dogs are not friendly. They learned that things can disappear in a deep and dark place. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books with pictures and words. She read them every day. She read them in her room, in the garden, and in the car. She read them to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her favorite book. It was about a princess and a dragon. She wanted to read it under a big tree. The tree had a lot of shade. Shade was good when it was hot. + +Lily found a nice spot under the tree. She opened her book and started to read. She read about the princess and the dragon. She read how the princess was brave and the dragon was nice. She liked the story very much. + +But then, an elderly man came to the tree. He was very grumpy. He did not like children. He did not like books. He did not like shade. He wanted to sit under the tree. He saw Lily and her book. He got angry. + +"Hey, you, get out of here!" he shouted at Lily. "This is my tree! You have no right to be here! Go away with your silly book!" + +Lily was scared. She did not understand why the man was so mean. She tried to say something, but the man did not listen. He grabbed her book and threw it away. He pushed Lily and made her fall. He sat under the tree and laughed. + +Lily cried. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She lost her book. She felt very sad. She ran to her mom and hugged her. Her mom was shocked. She saw what the man did. She was very angry. She wanted to help Lily and get her book back. + +But it was too late. A big dog came to the park. It saw Lily's book. It thought it was a toy. It ran to the book and bit it. It tore the book to pieces. It ruined the book. It ruined the story. + +Lily and her mom watched in horror. They could not believe what they saw. They could not do anything. They could only cry. Lily's favorite book was gone. The princess and the dragon were gone. The shade was gone. The day was ruined. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big oak tree in the park. They like to climb the oak tree and pretend they are birds. + +One day, Tom says to Anna, "Do you want to marry me?" Anna says, "What is marry?" Tom says, "Marry is when you are happy together and you share everything. Like the birds in the oak tree. They are married." Anna says, "Oh, I see. Yes, I want to marry you. You are my best friend." + +They hug and smile. Then they make rings out of grass and put them on their fingers. They say, "We are married now. We are happy together and we share everything. Like the birds in the oak tree." + +They climb down the oak tree and run to the swings. They swing high and laugh. They are funny and happy. They are married. +Lily liked to gaze at the garden from her window. She saw many flowers of different colors and shapes. She also saw bees and butterflies that flew from one flower to another. She wanted to go outside and play with them. + +But Lily's mom said no. She said Lily had to stay inside and do her homework. She said Lily was naughty for not listening to her teacher. Lily was sad and angry. She did not like homework. She liked the garden. + +So Lily waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she sneaked out of her room and ran to the garden. She felt the sun on her face and the grass under her feet. She smelled the sweet flowers and heard the buzzing bees. She smiled and laughed. She was happy. + +But then she saw something that made her stop. It was a big spider on a web. It had eight legs and many eyes. It looked scary and mean. Lily was afraid. She screamed and ran back to the house. + +Her mom heard her scream and came out. She saw Lily crying and the spider in the garden. She hugged Lily and took her inside. She said Lily was lucky the spider did not bite her. She said Lily was naughty for going to the garden without permission. She said Lily had to finish her homework and go to bed early. + +Lily was sorry and sad. She wished she had listened to her mom. She learned her lesson. She did not like spiders. She liked the garden. But she liked her mom more. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many bees. They hear a buzz. + +"Look, Tom, bees!" Lily says. "They make honey. Honey is sweet and nice. I like honey on my bread." + +"Me too," Tom says. "But we can't take the honey from the bees. They will sting us. It will hurt." + +"Maybe we can ask them," Lily says. "Maybe they will share some honey with us. Bees are nice, too." + +Lily and Tom go near the tree. They see a hole with honey inside. They smell the honey. It smells good. + +"Hello, bees," Lily says. "Can you please bring us some honey? We want to taste it. We will be nice to you." + +The bees hear Lily. They are surprised. They are not used to people talking to them. They fly out of the hole. They see Lily and Tom. They are not afraid. They are curious. + +"Hello, children," one bee says. "You want some honey? Why do you want honey?" + +"Because honey is sweet and nice," Tom says. "We like honey on our bread. But we don't have any honey at home." + +The bee thinks. He likes honey, too. He knows how hard it is to make honey. He wants to help the children. He talks to the other bees. They agree. + +"Okay, children," the bee says. "We will bring you some honey. But you have to promise something. You have to be nice to the bees. You have to respect the tree. You have to not waste the honey. Can you do that?" + +"Yes, yes, yes," Lily and Tom say. "We promise. We will be nice to the bees. We will respect the tree. We will not waste the honey. Thank you, bees. Thank you very much." + +The bees nod. They fly back to the hole. They bring out some honey. They put it in a small jar. They give it to Lily and Tom. + +"Here you go, children," the bee says. "Enjoy the honey. But remember your promise. Be nice to the bees. Respect the tree. Don't waste the honey." + +Lily and Tom take the jar. They smile. They thank the bees again. They go home. They share the honey with their families. They put some honey on their bread. They taste it. It is sweet and nice. They are happy. The bees are happy, too. They have made new friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted to play with the same one. It was a red car with a shiny knob. The knob made the car go fast or slow. + +Tom said, "It is my turn to play with the car. I found it first." Lily said, "No, it is my turn. I like the car more." They both pulled the car and the knob. They did not want to share. + +Mom heard them fighting. She came to their room and said, "Stop fighting, please. You have to share your toys. Why don't you take turns with the car? Tom can play with it for five minutes, then Lily can play with it for five minutes." + +Tom and Lily did not like Mom's idea. They both refused to give the car to the other. They said, "No, no, no!" They kept pulling the car and the knob. + +Mom was not happy. She said, "If you cannot share the car, then no one can play with it. I will take it away until you learn to be nice." She took the car and the knob and put them on a high shelf. Tom and Lily could not reach them. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not have the car anymore. They looked at the shelf and saw an enormous teddy bear. They both wanted to play with the teddy bear. They ran to the shelf and tried to grab the teddy bear. They started to fight again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big yard with a swing and a slide. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is brown and white and very friendly. + +One day, Sara and Ben decide to play hide and seek. Sara counts to ten and Ben runs to find a good hiding place. He sees a big tree with high branches. He thinks it is a good place to hide. He climbs the tree and lies on a branch. He is very quiet and still. + +Sara finishes counting and looks for Ben. She looks under the swing, behind the slide, and in the bushes. She does not see Ben. She calls his name, but he does not answer. She starts to worry. Where is Ben? + +She hears a bark. It is Spot. Spot is looking at the tree and wagging his tail. Sara follows Spot and looks up. She sees Ben lying on the branch. She is surprised and angry. + +"Ben, what are you doing up there?" she shouts. "You are not supposed to climb the tree. It is dangerous. Come down right now!" + +Ben feels guilty and scared. He wants to come down, but he does not know how. He is too high and the branch is too thin. He starts to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," he says. "I wanted to hide well. But now I'm stuck. I can't come down. Help me, please!" + +Sara feels sorry for Ben. She loves her brother. She wants to help him. She runs to their home and tells their mom. Their mom comes out with a ladder. She puts the ladder against the tree and climbs up. She reaches Ben and hugs him. + +"Don't worry, Ben," she says. "I'm here. I'll get you down. You are safe." + +She helps Ben climb down the ladder. She puts him on the ground and checks him for injuries. He is fine, but he is still crying. She kisses him and comforts him. + +"It's okay, Ben," she says. "You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, don't climb the tree. It is too high and too risky. There are other places to hide. Okay?" + +Ben nods and says sorry again. He hugs his mom and thanks her. He also hugs Sara and Spot. He is happy to be down and safe. He is happy to have his family. He loves them very much. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But there was one thing they did not like: the rude boy. + +The rude boy was always mean to them. He would push them, take their toys and call them names. He made them sad and angry. One day, he came to the park with a big bike. He rode it very fast and loud. He did not care about anyone else. + +"Look at me, I have a bike and you don't!" he shouted. "You are too small and silly to ride a bike!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to talk to him. They tried to ignore him and play with their ball. But the rude boy followed them. He tried to kick their ball away. He laughed at them. + +"Stop it, you are rude!" Lily said. + +"Yeah, go away, we don't like you!" Ben said. + +The rude boy did not listen. He rode his bike closer and closer to them. He wanted to scare them. He thought he was very clever. + +But he did not see the big rock on the ground. He hit it with his front wheel. He lost his balance. He fell off his bike. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried. + +Lily and Ben saw what happened. They felt sorry for him. They ran to him and helped him up. They gave him a band-aid and a hug. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"Thank you, you are nice," the rude boy said. + +He realized he had been wrong. He apologized to them. He asked them if they wanted to try his bike. He said he would share it with them. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said yes. They took turns riding the bike. They had fun together. They became friends. + +The rude boy learned a lesson. He learned to be kind and not rude. He learned to lean on his friends and not push them away. He learned to stay with them and not run away. He learned to play with them and not against them. He was happy. +Anna and Ben were walking in the sand with their dad. They were very hot and thirsty. They wanted to find some water and shade. + +"Look, dad, what is that?" Ben asked, pointing at a green spot in the distance. + +"That is an oasis, Ben. It is a place where there is water and plants in the desert. Maybe we can rest there for a while," dad said. + +They walked towards the oasis, hoping to find a cool drink and a snack. When they got closer, they saw a small pond with some palm trees and flowers. They also saw some animals, like camels and birds. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Anna exclaimed. "Can we play with the animals, dad?" + +"Sure, but be careful and gentle. They might be hungry or scared," dad warned. + +Anna and Ben ran to the pond and splashed some water on their faces. They saw some fish swimming in the water. They tried to catch them with their hands, but they were too fast. + +"Hey, look at that camel!" Ben shouted. "It has a big hump on its back. What is that for?" + +"That is where it stores water and fat, Ben. It helps the camel survive in the desert," dad explained. + +"Can we ride the camel, dad?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe, but we have to ask the owner first. See that man over there? He is the one who takes care of the camels. Let's go and say hello," dad suggested. + +They walked over to the man, who was sitting under a tent. He had a turban on his head and a long robe on his body. He smiled when he saw them. + +"Hello, friends. Welcome to my oasis. Are you looking for some refreshment?" he greeted. + +"Hello, sir. Thank you for your kindness. We are very hot and thirsty. Can we have some water, please?" dad asked. + +"Of course, of course. Here, take this jug. It is fresh and cold. And have some dates and bread, too. They are sweet and filling," the man offered. + +"Thank you, sir. You are very generous. Can we also ask you a favor?" dad said. + +"Sure, what is it?" the man asked. + +"Can we ride one of your camels, please? My children are very curious and excited," dad said. + +"Sure, why not? They are very friendly and gentle. But you have to cover your heads with these scarves. They will protect you from the sun and the sand," the man said. + +He gave them some scarves and helped them mount a camel. The camel stood up and started to walk around the oasis. Anna and Ben laughed and clapped their hands. They felt like they were on an adventure. + +They thanked the man and the camel for the ride and the food. They said goodbye and continued their walk in the desert. They felt happy and refreshed. They had found a wonderful oasis. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw some big kids having a race on their bikes. Ben and Lily wanted to join the race, but they did not have bikes. They only had scooters. + +"Can we race with you?" Ben asked the big kids. + +"No, you are too small and slow. Scooters are for babies. Go away!" one of the big kids said. He was mean and rude. + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like the big kids. They wanted to show them that they were not babies. They had an idea. + +"Let's observe them and see where they go. Maybe we can find a shortcut and beat them to the finish line," Lily whispered to Ben. + +"OK, let's do that. But we have to be careful and quiet. And we have to be obedient and listen to the signs and lights," Ben whispered back. + +They followed the big kids from a distance, and saw that they went around a long and busy road. Ben and Lily knew a better way. They went through a small and quiet path that led to the park. They scooted as fast as they could, and reached the finish line before the big kids. + +"Wow, we did it! We won the race!" Ben and Lily cheered. + +The big kids were shocked and confused. They did not see Ben and Lily on the road. They did not know how they got there so fast. + +"How did you do that? That's not fair! You cheated!" one of the big kids said. + +"We did not cheat. We observed you and found a shortcut. We were smart and brave. And we were obedient and safe. You were mean and rude. And you were slow and silly," Lily said. + +Ben and Lily smiled and high-fived each other. They were proud and happy. They did not care what the big kids said. They knew they were not babies. They were racers. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garage. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find old things. They found a big box with a lock on it. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it has treasure!" Ben said. + +"Or maybe it has monsters!" Lily said. + +They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They felt sad and scared. + +"Let's pray!" Lily said. "Maybe God will help us open the box." + +"Okay," Ben said. "But how do we pray?" + +Lily closed her eyes and folded her hands. She said, "Dear God, please help us open the box. We want to see what is inside. Please don't let it be monsters. Thank you. Amen." + +Ben copied her. He said, "Dear God, please help us open the box. We want to see what is inside. Please don't let it be monsters. Thank you. Amen." + +They opened their eyes and looked at the box. Nothing happened. They felt sad and scared again. + +"Maybe God is busy," Lily said. + +"Or maybe he does not hear us," Ben said. + +They heard a noise. It was their dad. He came into the garage. He saw them and the box. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he asked. + +"We found a box, but we can't open it," Lily said. + +"We prayed, but nothing happened," Ben said. + +Their dad smiled. He said, "I have the key. Do you want to see what is inside?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. + +Their dad unlocked the box and opened it. Inside, there were old toys and books and clothes. They belonged to their dad when he was a kid. He told them stories about them. Lily and Ben were happy. They thanked their dad and God. They played with the old things. They did not find any monsters. They found something better. They found their dad's memories. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some rags. They pretend the box is a house and the rags are blankets. They put the rags inside the box and make a warm bed. + +"Let's go inside our house," Lily says. "It's getting dark and cold." + +"OK," Tom says. "But we need to lock the door. There might be monsters outside." + +They find a stick and put it through a hole in the box. They think the stick is a key. They turn the stick and say, "Click! The door is locked. Now we are safe." + +They crawl inside the box and snuggle under the rags. They feel warm and cozy. They tell each other stories and giggle. + +"Good night, Lily," Tom says. + +"Good night, Tom," Lily says. + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of happy things. +Mia liked to play in the snow. She made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. She gave him a carrot nose and two mint leaves for eyes. She thought he looked very happy. + +But the sun was shining and the snow was melting. Mia saw that the snowman's nose was falling off. She ran to fix it, but it was too late. The carrot nose dropped to the ground. Mia felt sad. + +She looked at the snowman's eyes. They were still icy and green. She wanted to keep them. She reached for one of the mint leaves, but the snowman blinked. Mia was surprised. She heard a voice. + +"Please don't take my eyes," the snowman said. "They are the only thing that makes me see." + +Mia was scared. She wanted to run away, but she also felt sorry for the snowman. She decided to resist her fear and stay. She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Snowman. I didn't know you could talk. I won't take your eyes. But how can you see with mint leaves?" + +The snowman smiled. He said, "Mint leaves are magic. They make everything look fresh and bright. They also make me feel cool and happy. But they won't last long. Soon they will wilt and I will be blind." + +Mia felt sad again. She wanted to help the snowman. She said, "Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Snowman?" + +The snowman thought for a moment. He said, "There is one thing. You can give me a hug. That will make me feel warm and loved." + +Mia nodded. She gave the snowman a big hug. She felt his icy body melt a little. She smelled the minty scent of his eyes. She heard him sigh. + +"Thank you, Mia," the snowman said. "You are a very kind girl. You made me the happiest snowman in the world." + +Mia smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Mr. Snowman. You are a very brave snowman. You made me the happiest girl in the world." +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many toys on her shelf. She had dolls, cars, blocks, and books. She liked to make stories with her toys and act them out. + +One day, she heard a loud noise from outside. She looked out the window and saw a large truck. The truck was moving her neighbor's things.

He saw the foam on the sink, the brush on the floor, and the children crying. He was not happy. + +"What are you doing with my shaving kit? You know you're not supposed to touch it!" he said. + +He took the kit away and cleaned the mess. He scolded Ben and Lily for being naughty and careless. He told them to apologize to each other and to complete their homework. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and promised not to play with the shaving kit again. They went to their room and did their homework. They hoped their dad would forgive them and let them play with him later. They still liked his mustache, but they decided to wait until they were older to have one. +Lily liked to dress up. She had a big box of clothes and jewels that she got from her mom and grandma. She liked to wear dresses and hats and necklaces and rings. She felt like a princess when she dressed up. + +One day, she found a new jewel in the box. It was a shiny pink heart on a silver chain. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She smiled and said, "This is my favorite jewel. It is so pretty and sparkly. I love it." + +She went to show her mom her new jewel. Her mom was in the kitchen, making cookies. She saw Lily and said, "Wow, you look beautiful, Lily. Where did you get that jewel?" + +Lily said, "I found it in the box. It is mine now. I like it very much." + +Her mom said, "That is a very special jewel, Lily. It was my mom's, and she gave it to me when I was a little girl. She loved me very much, and she wanted me to have it. And now I want you to have it, because I love you very much." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. And I love grandma. And I love this jewel. It makes me happy." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "You make me happy too, Lily. You are my jewel." +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many ants on it. They wanted to see what the ants were doing, so they went closer. + +"Look, Tim, the ants are carrying things!" Kim said. "They are very busy and strong." + +"Yes, they are, Kim. But I have an idea. Let's take some of their things and make a tower with them. It will be fun!" Tim said. + +He picked up a stick and poked the hill. Some ants came out and bit him. He cried out in pain and dropped the stick. Kim laughed at him. + +"Stop, Tim, that's not nice. You are hurting the ants. They need their things to complete their home. You should say sorry to them." Kim said. + +But Tim was angry and stubborn. He did not listen to Kim. He picked up another stick and poked the hill harder. More ants came out and bit him and Kim. They both cried out in pain and ran away. + +The ants were very angry and followed them. They bit them all over their legs and arms. Tim and Kim ran to their house and slammed the door. They were very sore and itchy. They could not play anymore. + +Their mom came and saw them. She was very worried and scolded them. + +"What happened to you two? Why are you covered in bites?" She asked. + +Tim and Kim told her what they did. She was very disappointed and angry. + +"That was very bad and foolish of you. You should not bother the ants. They are living creatures who have their own work and needs. You should respect them and leave them alone. You should also listen to your sister. She was right and you were wrong. Now you have to stay inside and rest. You will not get any dessert or toys today. You will also have to put some cream on your bites and say sorry to the ants tomorrow." She said. + +Tim and Kim felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not poked the hill. They were very sleepy and went to bed early. They learned their lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Do not hurt or bother others who are different from you. Respect their lives and work. Listen to good advice and admit your mistakes. +Tom is a brave boy. He likes to play with his dog, Rex. Rex is big and brown and has sharp teeth. Tom and Rex are friends. + +One day, Tom and Rex go to the park. They see a bag on the grass. Tom is curious. He wants to see what is in the bag. He runs to the bag and opens it. + +But the bag is not empty. There is a cat in the bag. The cat is scared and angry. It jumps out of the bag and hisses at Tom. Tom is surprised and scared. He cries for Rex. + +Rex hears Tom and runs to him. He sees the cat and barks at it. The cat is not afraid of Rex. It scratches Rex on the nose. Rex is hurt and angry. He bites the cat on the tail. + +The cat yowls and runs away. Rex chases the cat until it is gone. Tom hugs Rex and says, "Thank you, Rex. You are a brave dog. You saved me from the cat. I love you, Rex." + +Rex licks Tom's face and wags his tail. He loves Tom too. They are happy. They leave the bag on the grass and go home. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the forest. One day, they found a big bush with many red berries. They were hungry and wanted to eat some. + +"Look, Ben, berries!" Lily said. "They look yummy. Can we have some?" + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Ben said. "Some berries are bad and make you sick. And some animals might want them too." + +They picked some berries and tasted them. They were sweet and juicy. They ate more and more, until their mouths were red. + +"Wow, these are the best berries ever!" Lily said. "Let's take some home and share with our families." + +"Good idea," Ben said. "But how do we carry them?" + +They looked around and saw a big leaf on the ground. They put some berries on the leaf and folded it like a basket. They held the leaf together and walked back to their homes. + +On the way, they saw a big bear. The bear smelled the berries and growled. He wanted to eat them too. He ran after Lily and Ben. + +"Help, help, a bear!" Lily shouted. "What do we do?" + +"Run, run, fast!" Ben said. "And hide the berries!" + +They ran as fast as they could, but the bear was faster. They saw a big rock and ran behind it. They put the leaf with the berries under the rock and remained hidden. They hoped the bear would not find them. + +The bear came to the rock and sniffed around. He did not see the berries. He did not smell them either. He was confused and angry. He roared and scratched the rock, but he could not move it. He gave up and went away. + +Lily and Ben waited until the bear was gone. They peeked from behind the rock and saw that the coast was clear. They were relieved and happy. They took the leaf with the berries and continued their way home. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be grateful for what they had and to share with others. They also learned to be careful and smart when they faced danger. And they learned to remain hidden when a bear was chasing them. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they go to the store with Tim's mom. She gives them each a coin to buy a lollipop. + +Tim and Sam run to the candy shelf. They see many lollipops. Some are big, some are small, some are round, some are square. Some have stripes, some have dots, some have swirls. Tim and Sam want to pick the best lollipop. + +Tim sees a lollipop that looks like a rocket. It is red and blue and silver. It has a pointy tip and a long stick. Tim thinks it is the most modern lollipop. He grabs it and says, "This is my lollipop. It is cool and fast and shiny." + +Sam sees a lollipop that looks like a flower. It is pink and yellow and green. It has a round center and five petals. Sam thinks it is the prettiest lollipop. He grabs it and says, "This is my lollipop. It is sweet and cute and colorful." + +Tim and Sam look at each other. They do not like each other's lollipops. They think their own lollipops are better. They start to argue. + +"Your lollipop is silly. It does not look like a candy. It looks like a toy. You cannot eat a toy." Tim says. + +"Your lollipop is boring. It does not have any shape. It looks like a stick. You cannot play with a stick." Sam says. + +They get louder and louder. They do not listen to each other. They do not share. They do not have fun. + +Tim's mom hears them. She comes to the candy shelf. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, boys. You are being rude and selfish. You should be thankful and kind. You should appreciate and respect each other's choices. You should try to understand and learn from each other. You should be friends." + +Tim and Sam look at their mom. They feel ashamed. They know they are wrong. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, friend." + +They hug and make up. They look at their lollipops again. They see that they are both nice and special. They decide to trade and taste each other's lollipops. They find out that they are both yummy and fun. They smile and laugh. They are happy. +Ben and Mia like to play in the big park near their home. They like to run, swing, slide and climb on the toys. Sometimes they wander away from their mom and dad and look for new things to see. + +One day, they wandered too far and found a big old house. It looked scary and dark. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the door and went in. They saw many dusty rooms with old things. They heard strange noises and felt cold. + +"Ben, I'm scared," Mia said. "Let's go back." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But I don't know where the door is." + +They tried to find the way out, but they got lost. They saw a white shape floating in the air. It had no face and no legs. It made a loud sound like "Wooo!" + +"A ghost!" Ben and Mia screamed. They ran away from the ghost, but it followed them. They felt its cold breath on their necks. + +They saw a window and tried to open it, but it was tight. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They cried and hugged each other. + +"Please, ghost, leave us alone!" Mia said. + +The ghost stopped and looked at them. It felt sorry for them. It did not want to scare them. It was lonely and wanted to play. + +"I'm sorry," the ghost said. "I don't have any friends. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Ben and Mia were surprised. The ghost sounded nice and sad. They felt brave and curious. + +"OK," Ben said. "But can you help us get out of here?" + +"Sure," the ghost said. "Follow me." + +The ghost led them to the door and opened it for them. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They were happy and relieved. + +"Thank you, ghost," Mia said. "You are a good ghost." + +"You're welcome," the ghost said. "You are good kids. Come back and play with me again." + +Ben and Mia nodded and waved goodbye. They ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. They told them about the ghost and the old house. Their mom and dad were surprised and amazed. + +They went back to the park and played some more. They did not wander too far again. But sometimes they visited the ghost and played with him. He was their new friend. +Tom and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They liked to pet them and feed them. But their favorite animal was the big bull. He was black and white, and had long horns. + +"Look, mom, look, dad, the bull is so big and strong!" Tom said. + +"Yes, he is, Tom. He is very valuable for the farmer. He helps make more cows and gives milk and meat," mom said. + +"Can we ride the bull, mom, please?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, the bull is not for riding. He might be angry or scared if you try. He is not a horse. He is a bull," dad said. + +But Lily did not listen. She was curious and brave. She ran to the fence and climbed over it. She ran to the bull and tried to jump on his back. The bull did not like that. He shook his head and snorted. He kicked his legs and ran away. Lily fell off and landed on the hay. + +"Help, help, the bull is chasing me!" Lily cried. + +Tom, mom and dad heard her and ran to help. They grabbed Lily and pulled her back over the fence. They hugged her and checked if she was hurt. + +"Lily, Lily, are you okay? That was very dangerous. You should never do that again. The bull could have hurt you or himself. You have to respect the animals and follow the rules," mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted to have fun. I thought the bull was funny. He had a ring in his nose and a bell around his neck," Lily said. + +"He is funny, Lily, but he is also powerful and wild. He is not a toy. He is a living creature. You have to be careful and kind with him," dad said. + +"I understand, dad. I will be more careful and kind next time. Can we still see the other animals?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily. But only from a safe distance. And only with us. Do you promise?" mom asked. + +"I promise, mom. I love you. I love the farm. I love the animals. Even the bull," Lily said. +Lisa and Tom are friends. They like to play in the pool. They have many toys in the pool. They have balls, ducks, boats and rings. + +One day, Lisa wants to organize the toys. She says, "Let's put the balls here, the ducks there, the boats here and the rings there." She starts to move the toys. + +Tom does not want to organize the toys. He says, "No, I like the toys everywhere. It is more fun." He starts to throw the toys back in the pool. + +Lisa and Tom start to argue. They say, "Stop it!" and "No, you stop it!" They splash water at each other. + +Mrs. Brown is Tom's mom. She is nosy. She hears the noise. She comes to the pool. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Lisa and Tom stop fighting. They look at Mrs. Brown. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mrs. Brown. We were trying to organize the toys, but we could not agree." + +Mrs. Brown says, "I see. Well, organizing is a good idea, but you have to respect each other's opinions. Why don't you try to find a way to organize the toys that makes both of you happy?" + +Lisa and Tom think for a moment. They say, "OK, Mrs. Brown. We will try." They smile at each other. They start to organize the toys together. They find a way to make the pool look nice and fun. They say, "Thank you, Mrs. Brown. You are a good mom." + +Mrs. Brown says, "You are welcome, Lisa and Tom. You are good friends. Now, enjoy the pool and be nice to each other." She leaves the pool. She is happy. She is not nosy anymore. +Mira and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many pears on it. One day, they decided to pick some pears and have a picnic. + +They each took a basket and climbed the tree. They picked the pears that looked good and put them in their baskets. They were careful not to fall or drop the pears. + +When they had enough pears, they climbed down and looked for a nice spot to eat. They saw a charming little house with a red roof and a blue door. They thought it was empty and went inside. + +They found a table with a cloth and two plates. They put their baskets on the table and settled down to eat. They were very hungry and the pears were very sweet. + +"Who lives here?" Mira asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a fairy or a gnome," Ben said. + +They heard a noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. He smelled the pears and wanted to eat them. + +He roared and banged on the door. Mira and Ben were scared. They grabbed their baskets and ran out the back door. They ran back to their tree and climbed up. + +The bear followed them and tried to climb the tree. But he was too big and heavy. He could not reach the pears or the twins. He gave up and went away. + +Mira and Ben were safe and happy. They hugged each other and ate their pears. They learned not to go into strange houses. They said sorry to the fairy or the gnome who lived there. They hoped they would not be mad. They thought the house was charming, but the bear was not. +Tom and Mia like to play in the kitchen. They have a big box of pastry. Pastry is soft and yummy. They can make shapes with pastry. They want to build a house with pastry. + +They roll the pastry flat with a big stick. They cut out squares and triangles. They stick them together with water. They make a door and windows. They put the house on a big plate. They are very happy. + +But pastry is fragile. Fragile means it can break easily. The house is not strong. The cat jumps on the plate. The house falls down. The cat eats some pastry. Tom and Mia are sad. + +They cry and hug each other. Mom comes and sees the mess. She is not angry. She is sorry. She says they can make another house. She says they can use cookies and candy. Cookies and candy are not fragile. They are hard and sweet. + +Tom and Mia smile. They say thank you to Mom. They wash their hands. They get the cookies and candy. They start to build a new house. They hope the cat will not jump again. They have fun. +Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there is a record player and some records. Tim and Sam are curious. They want to hear the music. + +They plug in the record player and put a record on it. They turn the knob and the record starts to spin. They hear a funny sound. It is not music. It is a cow. The record has a cow on it. The cow says "moo, moo, moo". Tim and Sam laugh. They think it is a joke. + +They look at the other records. They see a dog, a cat, a bird, and a horse. They wonder what they sound like. They try the dog record. The dog says "woof, woof, woof". They try the cat record. The cat says "meow, meow, meow". They try the bird record. The bird says "tweet, tweet, tweet". They try the horse record. The horse says "neigh, neigh, neigh". Tim and Sam have fun. They like the animal sounds. + +They hear a noise. It is Tim's mom. She comes into the garage. She sees Tim and Sam with the record player and the records. She smiles. She knows what they are. They are her old records. She used to listen to them when she was a little girl. She tells Tim and Sam a story. + +She says, "When I was your age, I had a loyal friend. He was a cow. His name was Spot. He lived on a farm. He was very kind and gentle. He let me ride on his back and feed him grass. He was my favorite animal. I loved him very much. I wanted to remember him always. So I made a record of his voice. I used a microphone and a tape recorder. I recorded him saying 'moo, moo, moo'. Then I took the tape to a store. They made a record out of it. They put a picture of Spot on it. That is the record you are playing. It is very special to me. It is a gift from Spot." + +Tim and Sam are amazed. They look at the cow record. They see Spot. He is black and white. He has a big smile. He looks happy. They feel sorry for Tim's mom. They know she misses Spot. They want to make her happy. They hug her and say, "We like Spot too. He is a good cow. He is a good friend. Thank you for sharing him with us. We will take good care of his record. We will listen to him often. We will remember him always." Tim's mom hugs them back. She says, "You are very sweet. You are good friends. I am glad you like Spot. He would like you too. He would be proud of you. You make me happy. I love you." They smile. They are happy. They are loyal. They are friends. +One day, a boy named Ben and his dog Spot went for a walk in the woods. They liked to explore and find new things. Ben saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and said, "Look, Spot, this is a good stick. We can play with it." + +Spot barked and wagged his tail. He liked to play with sticks. He ran after Ben and tried to grab the stick from him. Ben laughed and ran away. They had fun chasing each other. + +But then, they came to a big stone house. It looked very old and dark. Ben and Spot stopped and looked at it. They had never seen it before. They wondered who lived there. + +"Hello, who are you?" a voice said from inside the house. Ben and Spot were scared. They did not know who it was. + +"Um, we are Ben and Spot. We are just walking in the woods. We found this stick," Ben said, holding up the stick. + +The voice said, "Oh, that is a very ancient stick. It belongs to me. I am a wizard. I use it for magic." + +Ben and Spot were surprised. They did not know what a wizard was. They did not know what magic was. + +"Can we see you?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, come in. I will welcome you," the voice said. + +Ben and Spot were curious. They decided to go inside the house. They hoped the wizard was nice and not mean. They wanted to see what magic he could do with the stick. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has long hair. The dog is not happy. He barks and growls at them. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog. But the dog runs after them. He is faster than them. He catches up with them. He jumps on Mia and bites her hair. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Mia cries. "Help me, Tom! The dog is hurting me!" + +Tom is anxious. He wants to help Mia, but he is afraid of the dog. He looks around. He sees a stick. He picks up the stick. He runs to the dog. He hits the dog with the stick. + +"Go away, bad dog! Leave Mia alone!" Tom shouts. + +The dog is surprised. He lets go of Mia's hair. He yelps and runs away. He is afraid of Tom and the stick. + +Tom and Mia hug each other. They are happy. They are safe. + +"Thank you, Tom! You saved me!" Mia says. + +"You're welcome, Mia! You are my friend!" Tom says. + +They go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms are proud of them. They say Tom is brave and Mia is strong. They give them cookies and milk. They say they love them. + +The moral of the story is: Friends help each other when they are in trouble. Courage and kindness are good. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They put more and more blocks. The tower is very high. + +"Look at our tower!" Anna says. "It is the best tower ever!" + +But then, a loud noise makes them jump. It is their baby brother, Sam. He is crawling to their tower. He wants to touch the blocks. + +"Sam, no!" Ben shouts. "Go away! You will make our tower fall!" + +But Sam does not listen. He reaches for the blocks. He pulls one block out. The tower wobbles. Then, it falls down. The blocks make a big mess. + +"Sam!" Anna and Ben cry. "You are bad! You broke our tower!" + +Sam looks at them. He does not know why they are angry. He shrugs. He thinks the blocks are fun. He picks up a block and stamps it on the floor. It makes a hard sound. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They worked hard to make their tower. They do not want to play with Sam. They go to their mom. + +"Mom, Sam broke our tower!" they say. "He is naughty!" + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. Sam is too little to understand. He did not mean to break your tower. He just wanted to play with you. Maybe you can teach him how to play with blocks nicely. Then, you can all have fun together." + +Anna and Ben think about it. They love their baby brother. They want him to be happy. They decide to give him another chance. They go back to Sam. They show him how to stack the blocks. They help him make a small tower. Sam smiles. He claps his hands. + +Anna and Ben smile, too. They say, "Good job, Sam! You are a good brother!" +Lily and Max were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings and the slide, but they also liked to wander around and see new things. Mom said they could explore, but they had to stay close and not go too far. + +One day, they saw a big fountain in the middle of the park. It had water that went up and down, and made a nice sound. Lily and Max wanted to see it better, so they ran towards it. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch the water". + +They reached the fountain and put their hands in the water. It was cold and wet, and they laughed. They splashed each other and had fun. They did not hear their mom calling them. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a fierce lion coming out of the bushes. It had big teeth and claws, and it looked hungry. It saw Lily and Max and started to run towards them. + +Lily and Max were very scared. They screamed and ran away from the fountain. They did not know where their mom was. They hoped the lion would not catch them. + +Their mom heard their screams and saw the lion. She ran towards them and grabbed them. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves, I'm here. That's not a real lion, it's just a statue that makes noise. It's part of the fountain show. I'm sorry, I should have told you." + +Lily and Max were relieved. They hugged their mom and said, "We're sorry, mom, we did not listen to you. We won't wander away again." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, my loves, I'm glad you're safe. Let's go and have some ice cream, okay?" + +Lily and Max nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We love you." + +They walked away from the fountain, holding their mom's hand. They learned their lesson and never wandered away again. +Once upon a time, in a big forest, there lived a little bird named Chirpy. Chirpy had a dream. She wanted to fly higher than any other bird. She would look up at the sky and feel envious of the birds that could fly so high. + +One day, Chirpy met a wise old owl. The owl told Chirpy that if she would care for her wings and practice flying every day, her dream might come true. Chirpy was happy and started to care for her wings and practice flying every day. + +But soon, Chirpy became too focused on her dream. She stopped caring for her friends and family. She only wanted to fly higher and higher. One day, while trying to fly too high, Chirpy fell from the sky and hurt her wing. + +Chirpy's friends and family came to help her, but they were sad that she had not cared for them. Chirpy learned that it is important to care for others, not just our dreams. Sometimes, dreams can make us forget what is truly important. +Once upon a time, in a small garden, there was a pretty flower. This flower was original because it could talk. One day, the flower saw a stack of rocks near it. The flower wanted to bloom and become big and strong, but the stack of rocks was in the way. The flower thought of a plan to move the rocks. + +The flower asked a little bug for help. The bug was very small, but it wanted to help the flower. The bug tried to push the rocks, but they were too heavy. The flower and the bug thought of another plan. They asked a big bird to help them. The bird was strong and could move the rocks. + +The bird picked up the rocks one by one and moved them away from the flower. The flower was happy and started to bloom. But then, the bird saw how pretty the flower was and wanted it for itself. The bird took the flower away from the garden. The flower was sad and could not bloom anymore. + +The moral of the story is to be careful who you ask for help, because they might not always have your best interests at heart. +One day, a team of animals had a plan. They wanted to play a big game. The team had a big dog, a little cat, a fast rabbit, and a slow turtle. They were all friends and liked to play together. + +The big dog was very strong, but he was also very impatient. He wanted to start the game right away. The little cat said, "Wait, we need to make a good plan first." The fast rabbit agreed, and they all sat down to think. + +The team talked and made a plan. The big dog tried to be patient. When the plan was ready, they played the game. They had so much fun, and they were happy they made a plan. The big dog learned to be more patient, and they all played together as a great team. +Once upon a time, there was a popular dog named Spot. Spot was a big, happy dog who loved to play with all the other animals in the park. He was very good at making friends and everybody wanted to join him in his fun games. + +One sunny day, Spot saw two little birds having a fight over a piece of bread. The birds were very angry and loud. Spot wanted to help them and make them happy again. So, he walked over to the birds and barked, "Why are you fighting? Let's share the bread and be friends!" + +The birds stopped their fight and looked at Spot. They realized that he was right. They could share the bread and be friends instead. So, the birds broke the bread into three pieces and gave one piece to Spot. They all ate the bread together and were very happy. + +From that day on, the birds and Spot became best friends. They played together in the park every day, and more animals joined them. Soon, the park was filled with happy animals who were all friends. And they never had a fight again. +One day, a little girl named Amy found a baby bird in her yard. The baby bird could not fly. Amy wanted to help the baby bird, so she picked it up and took it to her mom. "Mom, can we help this baby bird?" Amy asked. Her mom shrugged and said, "We can try, but it might be hard." + +Amy and her mom took the baby bird inside and gave it some food and water. They made a warm bed for the baby bird to sleep in. The next day, Amy went to her friend Tom's house. She told Tom about the baby bird. Tom said, "I don't think you should help the baby bird. It's not your job." But Amy knew it was the right thing to do. She said, "I want to be honest and kind, so I will help the baby bird." + +Amy and her mom took care of the baby bird for many days. They helped it get strong and learn to fly. One day, the baby bird was ready to go back to the wild. Amy and her mom took the baby bird outside and said goodbye. The baby bird flew away, happy and free. Amy felt good because she had been honest and kind. The moral of the story is to always be honest and kind, even when it's hard. +One day, a little girl named Amy found an old mixer in her kitchen. She wanted to use it to make a cake. Amy asked her mom, "Can I use this old mixer to make a cake?" Her mom said, "Yes, but be careful. It's very old and might not work well." + +Amy started to make the cake. She put all the things she needed in a big bowl. She was excited to use the old mixer. But when she turned it on, it made a loud noise and shook a lot. Amy was scared and turned it off. She told her mom, "The old mixer is not good. It's too loud and shakes too much." + +Her mom came to help. She looked at the old mixer and saw that it was not put together right.
