"Let's go up!" + +"OK, Lily, but be careful!" Ben says. "The hill is steep and the grass is slippery." + +They hold hands and start to climb. They take small steps and look for rocks to hold on to. They see flowers and bugs and birds. They are happy. + +But then, Lily sees something shiny on the hill. She lets go of Ben's hand and runs to it. + +"Lily, wait!" Ben shouts. "Don't run!" + +But Lily does not hear him. She runs faster and faster. She wants to see the shiny thing. It is a balloon. A red balloon. + +She reaches the balloon and grabs it. But the balloon is tied to a stick. The stick is stuck in the ground. Lily pulls hard, but the balloon does not come out. She pulls harder and harder. + +"Pop!" The balloon bursts. Lily is sad. She drops the stick and the balloon. She looks around. She does not see Ben. She does not see the way down. She is scared. + +"Ben! Ben!" She cries. "Where are you?" + +Ben hears Lily's cry. He looks up and sees her. She is far away. He is worried. + +"Lily! Lily!" He calls. "Don't move! I'm coming!" + +He climbs up the hill. He takes big steps and looks for Lily. He sees the stick and the balloon. He sees Lily. She is crying. + +He reaches her and hugs her. He says, "Lily, I'm here. Don't cry. It's OK." + +Lily hugs him back. She says, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was silly. I wanted the balloon. But it popped. And I lost you. And I was scared." + +Ben says, "It's OK, Lily. I'm sorry too. I should have stayed with you. But I'm here now. And we're together. And we're safe." + +They smile and wipe their tears. They hold hands and start to go down. They take small steps and look for rocks to hold on to. They see flowers and bugs and birds.

She felt graceful and happy. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her brother Tom. He was older and taller than her. He liked to tease her and take her toys. + +"Can I come in?" he asked. + +"No, go away!" Anna said. She did not trust him. He always made fun of her dancing. + +"Please, I want to show you something," he said. "It's a surprise. You will like it." + +Anna was curious. She liked surprises. Maybe Tom was being nice today. She opened the door a little bit. + +"What is it?" she asked. + +Tom smiled and pushed the door open. He had a big balloon in his hand. It was red and shiny. He threw it at Anna. + +"Pop!" The balloon burst and made a loud noise. Anna screamed and covered her ears. She felt something wet and sticky on her dress and her hair. It was tomato sauce. Tom had filled the balloon with tomato sauce. + +"Ha ha ha! You look funny!" Tom laughed. He ran away before Anna could say anything. + +Anna was angry and sad. She looked at her dress and her hair. They were ruined. She looked at her bulb. It was covered with tomato sauce too. It was not bright anymore. + +She started to cry. She did not like Tom. He was mean and rude. He spoiled her dancing. She wished he would leave her alone. She did not trust him anymore. +Anna and Ben were playing with their glow sticks in the dark. They liked to make different patterns with the light. Anna made a circle, Ben made a star, and they both made a heart. + +But then Anna wanted to make all the patterns. She said to Ben, "Give me your glow stick. I want to make a flower. You can watch me." + +Ben did not like that. He said, "No, Anna. That is not fair. I want to make patterns too. You are being bossy." + +Anna did not listen. She tried to grab Ben's glow stick. Ben held on tight. They both pulled and pulled. Then, snap! The glow sticks broke in half. The light went out. + +Anna and Ben were sad. They had no more glow sticks to play with. They said sorry to each other. They learned that being bossy is not nice. They learned to share and take turns. They hugged and went to bed. They dreamed of glowing patterns. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big machine with many colors and pictures. The machine has a slot for coins and a handle to pull. Lily and Ben want to try the machine. + +Lily has a coin in her pocket. She gives it to Ben. Ben puts the coin in the slot. He pulls the handle. The machine makes a funny noise and spins.

One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a sticker that said "mail". + +"Look, Ben, a mail box!" Mia said. "Maybe we can mail our masks to someone." + +"Who do you want to mail them to?" Ben asked. + +"Let's mail them to Grandma. She lives far away and she likes to see us happy," Mia said. + +They put some of their masks in the box and wrote "To Grandma" on the sticker. Then they carried the box to the front door. + +"Mom, can you help us mail this box to Grandma?" they asked. + +Mom smiled and looked at the box. She saw the masks inside and the sticker. + +"That's very sweet of you, Ben and Mia. But you know, Grandma is coming to visit us next week. Maybe you can give her the masks in person and play with her," she said. + +"Really? Grandma is coming?" Ben and Mia said. They were very excited. + +"Yes, she is. And she will love your masks. They are very special and fun. Not ordinary at all," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia hugged Mom and took the box back to the garage.

"You have to choose carefully and share with each other." + +Tim and Sam were enthusiastic and ran into the toy shop. They saw cars, trains, dolls, puzzles, and many other toys.

He thought it was very fun and wanted to play with it. + +"Mom, can I buy this robot?" he asked. + +Their mom looked at the price tags and saw that the globe and the robot were very expensive.

They started to argue and fight over who could have the globe or the robot. + +"Stop it, both of you!" their mom said. "You are being selfish and greedy. You have to be grateful for what you have and think of others. There are many children who have no toys at all. How would you feel if you were them?" + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that their mom was right and that they were being bad. They apologized to their mom and to each other. They decided to put back the globe and the robot and look for something else. + +They found a box of crayons and a coloring book that had pictures of the earth and its animals. They thought it was nice and interesting. They agreed to buy it and share it. They also found a small teddy bear that was soft and cute. They thought it was a good gift for their baby sister. They asked their mom if they could buy these two things. + +Their mom smiled and nodded. She was proud of them for being kind and generous.

It is yellow and round. + +"Look, a ball!" Tom says. He tries to pull it out, but it is stuck. + +"No, it is not a ball. It is food," Sam says. He is clever. He knows many things. "It is a bulb. We can eat it." + +"Really? How do we eat it?" Tom asks. + +"We have to cook it first. Come, I will show you," Sam says. He digs out the bulb with a stick. He takes it to the kitchen. + +They wash the bulb and cut it into pieces. They put it in a pot with water and salt. They wait for it to boil. + +"Can we eat it now?" Tom asks. + +"Not yet. We have to wait for mom. She will tell us when it is ready," Sam says. + +They sit on the floor and play with their toys. They smell the bulb. It smells good. + +Soon, mom comes home.

She is proud of her clever sons. She tastes the bulb. It is soft and sweet. + +"You did a good job, boys. This is a turnip. It is a healthy and tasty vegetable. You can eat it with some butter and bread," she says. + +She serves them some turnip and bread. They eat it and enjoy it. They are happy. They thank mom and hug her. + +The end. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. But then, Tim's car stopped moving. He tried to push it, but it did not work. + +"Tim, what's wrong with your car?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it needs a new battery," Tim said. + +He looked around and saw a remote control on the sofa. He thought it had a battery inside. He took the remote control and opened the back. He saw two small batteries. He took one out and put it in his car. + +"Look, Lily, I fixed it!" Tim said, as his car started to move again. + +But then, they heard a loud voice from the kitchen. + +"Who took the battery from the remote control?" It was Mom. She was trying to watch her favorite show on TV, but the remote control did not work. + +Tim and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they did something bad. They did not recognize Mom's voice at first, because she sounded angry. + +"Sorry, Mom, it was me," Tim said. He brought the remote control and the battery to Mom. + +"Why did you do that, Tim? You know you should not take things that are not yours. And you should not break the remote control. It is not a toy," Mom said. + +"I wanted to make my car work. I did not mean to break it," Tim said. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was not very mad either. She knew Tim was still learning. + +"Tim, next time, if you need a battery, you should ask me first. And you should put things back where they belong. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +"Yes, Mom, I understand. I'm sorry," Tim said. + +Mom hugged Tim and Lily. She gave them a new battery for Tim's car. She fixed the remote control and turned on the TV. + +"Let's watch a show together. How about Sesame Street?" Mom said. + +"Yay, Sesame Street!" Tim and Lily said. + +They snuggled on the sofa with Mom and watched the show. They learned some new words and had fun. They forgot about their toy cars for a while. They were happy. +Ben loved to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, but his favorite was a red car with a big zoom on the back.

He would make vroom noises and pretend to drive his car on the floor, the couch, the table, and even the wall. + +One day, Ben's mom said they had to go to the store. She told Ben to bring one toy with him. Ben looked at his cars and picked his red zoom car. He put it in his pocket and went with his mom. He was happy to have his car with him, because he could imagine he was driving it while his mom pushed the cart. + +At the store, Ben saw many things that he liked. He saw books, candy, balloons, and more cars. He wanted to touch everything, but his mom said no. She said they only came for milk and bread. Ben felt bored and restless. He took out his red zoom car and started to play with it on the shelf. He made vroom noises and pretended to drive his car around the cans and boxes. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben's car slipped from his hand and fell behind the shelf. He could not reach it. He tried to move the shelf, but it was too heavy. He started to cry. He wanted his car back. He loved his car. It was his loyal friend. + +His mom heard him cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw his car behind the shelf and asked a store worker to help. The store worker used a stick to push the car out. He gave it back to Ben. Ben was so happy. He hugged his car and thanked the store worker. He said sorry to his mom for making a fuss. His mom smiled and said it was okay. She said she was glad he got his car back. She said his car was very special, because it helped him imagine. She said she loved him and his car. Ben smiled and said he loved her too. He put his car back in his pocket and held his mom's hand. They finished their shopping and went home. Ben played with his car some more and imagined they had many adventures together. He was happy.

I do not like it." + +Mama comes to her room and sees the book on the floor. She picks it up and hugs Lily. + +"Sweetie, do not cry. This book is not for you. It is for daddy.

They say yes, but only if he shares and does not break things. Dan agrees. He gives back some blocks to Tim and Mia. He helps them build towers and houses and cars. He plays with the books and puzzles and dolls too. He is nice. + +Tim and Mia are happy. They say Dan is not rude anymore. They say he is their friend. They all play together.

They looked at their mom, but she was busy. + +"Mom, can we do something fun?" Lily asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this work. Why don't you and Ben make some jelly?" Mom said. + +"Jelly? How do we make jelly?" Ben asked. + +"It's easy. You just need some water, some sugar, and some jelly powder. I have some in the cupboard. You can choose the color and the shape. But be careful, it's hot. And don't make a mess." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen. They found the jelly powder. There were red, green, yellow, and blue. They decided to make blue jelly, because it was their favorite color. They also found some molds. There were stars, hearts, flowers, and animals. They decided to make star jelly, because it was their favorite shape. + +They followed Mom's instructions. They boiled some water in a pot. They added some sugar and some blue jelly powder. They stirred it until it was smooth. They poured it into the star molds. They put them in the fridge to set. + +They waited for a long time. They checked the fridge every few minutes. They were excited to see their jelly. + +"Is it ready yet?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet. It's still liquid. We have to wait some more." Ben said. + +They waited some more. They checked the fridge again. + +"Is it ready now?" Ben asked. + +"Yes! It's ready! It's solid! It's jelly!" Lily said. + +They took out their star jelly. They admired their work. They tasted their jelly. It was sweet and cold and wobbly. + +"Yum! This is the best jelly ever!" Lily said. + +"I agree! This is so fun!" Ben said. + +They ate their jelly. They smiled and laughed.

They see who has more pasta and who has less. They try to eat faster and faster. + +Mama watches them. She smiles. She says, "Slow down, slow down. There is no race. You have plenty of time. Enjoy your pasta." Anna and Ben stop. They look at Mama. They feel silly. They say, "Sorry, Mama. We like to race. But we also like pasta." Mama says, "I know, I know. You are very alert and active. But sometimes you need to relax and savor. Pasta is not a race. Pasta is a treat." Anna and Ben agree. They eat their pasta more slowly. They say, "Thank you, Mama. You make the best pasta."

You have to learn new things and play with your friends." + +But Anna and Ben did not listen. They had an urge to bounce more and more. They said, "No, mom, we want to bounce. Bouncing is the best. We don't need school or friends." + +Their mom was sad and angry. She said, "Anna and Ben, you are being spoiled and selfish. Bouncing is not the only thing in life. You need to share and care for others. If you don't stop bouncing, I will take away your bed and give it to someone who needs it more." + +Anna and Ben did not believe their mom. They thought she was joking. They kept bouncing and bouncing, until they heard a loud noise. Their bed broke! The springs and the mattress fell to the floor. Anna and Ben fell too, and hurt themselves. + +They cried and cried, and wished they had listened to their mom. They realized that bouncing was not worth losing their bed and their mom's love.

They did not know what to say. + +Mom took the coin from them and put it in her pocket. She said, "This coin is not for playing. It is for buying things. You can't have it.

"Can we touch it?" + +"No, no, no!" Mom said, running to them. "Jellyfish can hurt you. They have stingers on their strings. They can make you red and sore. You have to stay away from them." + +"Really?" Sam and Mia asked, surprised. + +"Yes, really. Jellyfish are not for playing. They are for watching. Come, let's watch them from here. They are very interesting. See how they move in the water. They are like dancers." Mom said, holding their hands. + +Sam and Mia watched the jellyfish from a safe distance.

They say, "We understand, Mom. We will not do it again. We will be good and polite. We will help you clean the mess. We will say sorry to Grandma. We will make her a new cake." + +Mom sighs.

I made dad look bad. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom said, "I forgive you, Sam. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be honest and fair with the customers.

She is very shy and does not like strangers." + +Tommy said, "OK, grandma. I will not go near Fluffy. Come on, Spot. Let's go play." He and Spot ran to the yard and had fun. They chased a ball, dug a hole, and rolled in the grass. They were having so much fun that they did not notice Fluffy peeking out from under the sofa. + +Fluffy was curious about the visitors. She saw Tommy and Spot playing in the yard and wondered what they were doing. She decided to sneak out and have a look. She crept out from under the sofa and tiptoed to the window. She saw Tommy and Spot running and laughing. She felt jealous and angry. She thought, "This is my house. This is my yard. I do not want them here. They are noisy and rude. I will teach them a lesson. I will scare them away." + +She waited for the right moment and then dashed out of the door. She ran to the yard and hissed and spat at Tommy and Spot. She puffed up her tail and arched her back.

They said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. We love you too. We are sorry we went near Fluffy. We did not mean to. We will not do it again." + +They went inside and had some cookies and milk.

She set her pink bottle on the ground and climbed up the ladder. She slid down fast and laughed. + +"Wow, that was fun!" she said. "Your turn, Ben!" + +Ben nodded and followed her. He set his blue bottle next to hers and went up the ladder. He slid down slower and smiled. + +"That was nice!" he said. "But I'm thirsty now. Can I have some of your water, Lily?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Ben. That's my bottle. You have your own bottle. Drink from that." + +Ben frowned. "But I don't like my water. It's boring. Your water is pink. It looks yummy. Please, Lily. Just a sip." + +Lily crossed her arms. "No, Ben. It's mine. You can't have it. Go away." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to try the pink water. He thought Lily was being mean. He grabbed her bottle and ran away. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "Give it back! That's not fair!" + +She chased him across the park. They both forgot about the slide. They only cared about the bottle. +Lila and Tom love to go to the zoo with their mom. They like to see all the different animals and learn their names. Their favorite animal is the panda. The panda is black and white and has a big round belly. The panda likes to eat bamboo and sleep a lot. + +One day, they went to the zoo and saw a new baby panda. The baby panda was very small and cute. It had a pink nose and tiny ears. It was playing with its mom in a wide grassy area. Lila and Tom wanted to touch the baby panda and hug it. + +"Mom, can we go closer to the baby panda?" Lila asked. + +"No, sweetie, we have to stay behind the fence. The baby panda is not used to people and might get scared. We have to respect the animals and their space." Mom said. + +"But mom, the baby panda looks so soft and friendly. I want to be its friend." Tom said. + +"I know, honey, but the panda mom might not allow it. She is very protective of her baby and might think we are a threat. We can watch them from here and wave to them. Maybe they will wave back." Mom said. + +Lila and Tom nodded and followed their mom. They stood behind the fence and watched the baby panda and its mom. They smiled and waved to them. The baby panda looked at them curiously and then waved its paw. Lila and Tom were so happy. They felt like they made a new friend. They thanked their mom for taking them to the zoo and said goodbye to the panda family. They hoped to see them again soon. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Sometimes they fight over their toys. One day, they find a big bag in the closet. The bag is full of new toys. They are very happy. + +"Look, Tom, a car!" Sam says. He takes the car out of the bag. + +"No, Sam, that is my car!" Tom says. He tries to grab the car from Sam. + +"Stop, Tom, it is mine!" Sam says. He holds the car tight. + +They pull and push. They yell and cry. They are very angry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the closet. She sees Tom and Sam fighting over the car. + +"Boys, what are you doing?" Mom says. She is not happy. + +"Mom, Sam took my car!" Tom says. + +"Mom, Tom wants my car!" Sam says. + +Mom looks at the bag. She sees many toys. She has an idea. + +"Boys, listen to me," Mom says. "There are enough toys for both of you. You can share the toys. But you have to stop fighting. Or I will take the bag away. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam look at Mom. They look at the bag. They look at each other. They do not want to lose the bag. They do not want to make Mom angry. + +"Okay, Mom, we understand," Tom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we are sorry," Sam says. + +They let go of the car. They hug each other. They say sorry. + +"Good boys," Mom says. She smiles. "Now you can play nicely. But remember to surrender some toys to each other. Sharing is caring." + +Tom and Sam nod. They take turns to pick a toy from the bag. They play happily. They surrender some toys to each other. They are good brothers. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a football. They kick the football to each other. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big glass house in the park. It is shiny and pretty. Lily and Ben want to see it. They run to the glass house. They leave the football behind. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. She sees flowers and birds and butterflies in the glass house. She wants to touch them. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben says. He sees a sign on the door. It says "Fragile. Do not enter." He knows that fragile means easy to break. He does not want to break anything. + +But Lily does not see the sign. She opens the door and goes inside. She reaches for a flower. She hears a loud noise. She turns around. She sees the football. It has rolled into the glass house. It has hit a window. The window has cracked. Lily is scared. + +"Help, Ben!" Lily shouts. She runs to the door. She wants to get out. + +Ben hears Lily shout. He runs to the door. He sees the cracked window. He is sorry. He did not mean to break anything. He grabs Lily's hand. He pulls her out. + +They hear a voice. It is the gardener. He works in the park. He sees the broken window. He is angry. + +"Who did this?" he shouts. He looks at Lily and Ben. He sees the football. He knows they did it. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They say sorry to the gardener. They say they will help him fix the window. They say they will be more careful next time. + +The gardener is still angry. But he sees that they are sorry. He says they can help him. He says they can also learn about the flowers and birds and butterflies. He says they are fragile too. He says they need to be gentle and respectful. + +Lily and Ben nod. They want to learn. They want to be gentle and respectful. They follow the gardener into the glass house. They leave the football outside. They do not play with it anymore. +Tim and Sam are friends who love to play with planes. They have many toy planes of different colors and sizes. They pretend to be pilots and fly their planes in the air. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box is bright red and has a picture of a plane on it. Tim and Sam are very excited. They open the box and see a real plane inside. It is not a toy plane, but a small plane that can fit one person. + +"Wow, look at this plane!" Tim says. "It is so cool and shiny!" + +"Can we fly it?" Sam asks. "I want to be a pilot and see the sky!" + +Tim and Sam look at the plane. It has a seat, a steering wheel, and some buttons. They do not know how to use them, but they want to try. + +They climb into the plane and put on the helmets. They feel like real pilots. They push some buttons and hear the engine start. The plane begins to move. + +"Here we go!" Tim shouts. "We are flying!" + +The plane rolls out of the garage and onto the street. It goes faster and faster. Tim and Sam are scared and happy at the same time. They do not know how to stop the plane or turn it. + +They see a big tree in front of them. They do not want to crash into the tree. They pull the steering wheel and hope for the best. + +The plane lifts off the ground and flies over the tree. Tim and Sam are amazed. They are in the air. They see the houses, the cars, and the people below them. They wave and smile. + +They manage to fly the plane for a few minutes. They enjoy the view and the wind. They feel like heroes. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is a police car. The police car is following them. It has a siren and a speaker. + +"Attention, attention!" the police car says. "You are flying a stolen plane. Land the plane immediately or we will arrest you!" + +Tim and Sam are shocked. They do not know the plane is stolen. They do not know how to land the plane. They are in trouble. + +They look at each other and say, "Uh-oh!" +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Lily wore a red sweater that her grandma made for her. Max wore a blue sweater that his mom bought for him. + +"Look at my sweater, Max!" Lily said. "It is so warm and soft. Grandma gave it to me for my birthday." + +"It is nice, Lily," Max said. "But my sweater is better. It is bright and new. Mom got it for me at the store." + +They started to argue about whose sweater was better. They did not want to share or play nice. They got angry and sad. + +Max tried to pull Lily's sweater. Lily did not like that. She kicked Max in the leg. Max did not like that. He kicked Lily back. They both fell down and cried. + +A lady who worked at the park saw them. She came over and helped them up. She was wearing a green sweater that was very tight. She looked uncomfortable. + +"Why are you kicking each other?" she asked. "That is not nice. You should be friends and have fun." + +"We are sorry, lady," Lily and Max said. "We were fighting about our sweaters. We both think our sweaters are better." + +The lady smiled. "Your sweaters are both nice, but they are not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be kind and respectful. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt sorry for kicking each other. They hugged and said sorry. They decided to share and play nice. They did not care about their sweaters anymore. They cared about their friendship. +Sara and Ben are playing with cards. Sara likes to make piles of cards with the same color. Ben likes to make funny shapes with the cards. Sara is bossy. She tells Ben what to do with his cards. + +"Ben, put that card here. It is red. It goes with the red pile." Sara says. + +"No, I want to make a star. It is pretty. See?" Ben says. + +Sara is angry. She grabs Ben's card and puts it in her pile. Ben is sad. He does not like Sara's game. + +"Give me back my card, Sara. It is mine. You are not nice." Ben says. + +Sara does not listen. She takes another card from Ben. Ben is very sad. He starts to cry. + +Mama hears Ben crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben with the cards. + +"What is going on here? Why are you crying, Ben?" Mama asks. + +"Sara took my cards. She is bossy. She does not let me play my way." Ben says. + +Mama looks at Sara. Sara is quiet. She knows she did something bad. + +"Sara, is that true? Did you take Ben's cards?" Mama asks. + +Sara nods. She feels sorry. + +"Sara, that is not nice. You have to share the cards. You have to let Ben play his way. You have to say sorry to Ben." Mama says. + +Sara looks at Ben. She sees his tears. She feels bad. + +"I am sorry, Ben. I was bossy. Here are your cards. You can make a star. It is pretty." Sara says. + +Ben smiles. He wipes his tears. He takes his cards. + +"Thank you, Sara. I am sorry, too. I did not mean to make you angry. Do you want to play with me?" Ben says. + +Sara smiles, too. She nods. She takes some cards. + +"Yes, I want to play with you. We can make piles and shapes. We can have fun." Sara says. + +Mama is happy. She sees Sara and Ben playing nicely. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Good job, Sara and Ben. You are good friends. I am proud of you." Mama says. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is a big teddy bear. The teddy bear is soft and brown and has a red bow. Lily and Ben call him Teddy. + +One day, Mommy says, "Lily and Ben, I have a surprise for you. If you clean your room, you will get a reward." Lily and Ben are excited. They want to know what the reward is. They start to clean their room. They put their toys in the toy box. They make their beds. They throw away the trash. + +When they are done, they run to Mommy. "Mommy, Mommy, we cleaned our room!" they say. Mommy smiles and says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You are very good children. Now, here is your reward." She gives them a small box. Lily and Ben open the box. Inside, they see a cute puppy. The puppy is white and fluffy and has black spots. It wags its tail and licks their faces. + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They hug and squeeze the puppy. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you for the puppy. We love the puppy. Can we keep the puppy?" Mommy nods and says, "Yes, you can keep the puppy. But you have to take good care of him. You have to feed him, walk him, and play with him. And you have to give him a name. What do you want to name him?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. Then they say, "We want to name him Teddy. He looks like our teddy bear. He is our new friend." Mommy laughs and says, "That's a cute name. Teddy the puppy and Teddy the teddy bear. I'm sure they will get along well. Now, let's go and introduce them." Lily and Ben follow Mommy to their room. They show Teddy the puppy to Teddy the teddy bear. They say, "Teddy, this is Teddy. Teddy, this is Teddy. They are both cute and soft and we love them both." Teddy the puppy barks and Teddy the teddy bear smiles. Lily and Ben squeeze them both and feel very happy. They have the best reward ever. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. They have fun. + +But one day, it is very cold. Lily and Ben put on their coats and hats and gloves and boots. They go outside. But the wind is strong and the snow is hard. They feel cold and sad. + +"Let's go back inside," Lily says. "It is too cold to play." + +Ben nods. He follows Lily. But on the way, he sees a small bird. The bird is on the ground. It does not move. It has no coat or hat or gloves or boots. + +"Look, Lily," Ben says. "A bird. It is cold and hurt. We have to help it." + +Lily looks at the bird. She feels sorry for it. She takes off her glove and touches the bird. It is soft and warm. It opens its eyes and chirps. + +"Hello, bird," Lily says. "We are Lily and Ben. We will help you." + +Lily and Ben take the bird inside. They make a nest for it with a box and some paper and some cotton. They give it some water and some bread. They talk to it and sing to it. They are nice to it. + +They also pray for it. They fold their hands and close their eyes. They say, "Dear God, please make the bird better. Please keep it warm and safe. Please let it fly again. Thank you. Amen." + +The bird listens to them. It feels better. It flaps its wings and chirps louder. It thanks Lily and Ben. It says, "You are good and kind. You are my friends. I will remember you." + +The next day, the sun is shining. The snow is melting. Lily and Ben take the bird outside. They say goodbye to it. They hug it and kiss it. They tell it to be careful and happy. + +The bird flies away. It looks back at Lily and Ben. It waves its wing and sings. It says, "Goodbye, Lily and Ben. You are my heroes. I will pray for you." + +Lily and Ben smile and wave. They watch the bird fly away. They feel warm and glad. They say, "Goodbye, bird. We love you. We will pray for you too." +Sara likes to play with her blocks. She has many blocks with different colors and numbers. She can make towers and houses and cars with her blocks. She is happy when she plays with her blocks. + +One day, her brother Tom comes to her room. He wants to play with her blocks too. He says, "Let me play with your blocks, Sara. I want to make a big tower." Sara does not want to let him play with her blocks. She says, "No, Tom. These are my blocks. You have your own toys. Go away." + +Tom is angry. He does not listen to Sara. He grabs some of her blocks and runs away. He drops some of the blocks on the floor. They become dirty. Sara is sad. She cries, "Tom, you are bad. You made my blocks dirty. Give them back to me." + +Mom hears Sara and Tom. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks on the floor and the dirty ones in Tom's hands. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You should not take Sara's blocks without asking. You should not make them dirty. You should say sorry to Sara and help her clean them." + +Tom feels sorry. He says, "Sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I should not take your blocks. I should let you play with them. Can I help you clean them?" Sara nods. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You can help me clean them. Then we can play with them together." Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm proud of you both. You can share and play nicely with your blocks." Sara and Tom hug Mom. They are happy. They clean the blocks and play with them together. +One day, True and his mom went to the park. True liked to play on the swings and the slide. He also liked to look at the flowers and the birds. He saw a big yellow flower and ran to it. + +"Mom, look! A big yellow flower!" he shouted. + +Mom smiled and followed him. She saw the flower and said, "Yes, it is very pretty. Do you know what it is called?" + +True shook his head. He did not know. + +"It is called a sunflower. It likes the sun and grows very tall," Mom explained. + +True nodded. He wanted to touch the sunflower. He reached out his hand and felt the petals. They were soft and smooth. He saw a bee buzzing around the flower. He was curious. + +"Mom, what is that?" he asked, pointing at the bee. + +Mom looked and said, "That is a bee. It makes honey and helps the flowers. But be careful, it can sting you if you bother it." + +True did not want to be stung. He moved his hand away from the flower. He saw something shiny on the flower. It looked like water. + +"Mom, what is that?" he asked, pointing at the shiny thing. + +Mom looked and said, "That is dew. It is water that comes from the air when it is cold at night. It makes the flower wet and shiny." + +True wanted to see the dew. He leaned closer to the flower. He saw the drops of water on the petals. He thought they looked like pearls. He wanted to touch them. He reached out his hand and touched the dew. It was cold and wet. He liked it. He wanted to play with it. He tried to pick up a drop of water with his finger. He could not. He tried to blow on it. It did not move. He tried to pour it on his hand. It fell on the ground. + +"Mom, why can't I pour the dew?" he asked, puzzled. + +Mom smiled and said, "Because the dew is very small and light. It is not like water in a cup or a bottle. You can't pour it like that. You can only see it and feel it." + +True thought about it. He decided he liked the dew. He thought it was fun and pretty. He looked at the sunflower and the bee. He thought they were nice and friendly. He was not scared of them. He was happy. + +He hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. I like the park. I like the sunflower and the bee and the dew. They are very nice." + +Mom hugged him back and said, "You're welcome, True. I like them too. I'm glad you had fun. Now, let's go and have some honey and bread. How does that sound?" + +True nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'm hungry. Let's go, Mom." + +They held hands and walked to the bench. They ate some honey and bread and drank some juice. They enjoyed the sun and the breeze. They had a good day at the park. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they saw a big wrap in the living room. It was red and shiny. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a new toy for us!" Lily said. + +"Or a big cake!" Ben said. + +They ran to the wrap and tried to open it. But it was too hard. They pulled and tugged, but nothing happened. + +"Stop!" Mom said. She came into the living room and saw the twins. She was not happy. "That is not for you. That is a gift for Grandma. She is coming to visit us tomorrow. You have to pay for it if you break it." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to break the gift. They did not want to pay for it. They did not have any money. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We did not know. We were curious." + +Mom sighed. She hugged the twins. "I know, my loves. But you have to be wise. You have to ask before you touch something that is not yours. And you have to be patient. You will see what is inside the wrap tomorrow, when Grandma opens it." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They helped Mom fix the wrap. They made a card for Grandma. They wrote "We love you" and drew some flowers. They put the card under the wrap. They hoped Grandma would like it. They waited for tomorrow. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, furry dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Can we pet him?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, he is nice. His name is Max," a man says. He is the dog's owner. + +Anna and Ben smile. They touch the dog's soft fur. They rub his ears and belly. Max likes it. He barks happily. + +"Can we throw a ball for him?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, here you go," the man says. He gives Ben a red ball. + +Ben throws the ball. Max runs after it. He catches it in his mouth. He brings it back to Ben. + +"Good boy, Max!" Ben says. + +Anna wants to try too. But she is a little scared. The ball is big and heavy. She thinks she can't throw it far. + +"Come on, Anna, you can do it!" Ben says. He encourages her. + +Anna takes a deep breath. She holds the ball in her arm. She swings it and lets it go. The ball flies in the air. Max chases it. He grabs it and returns it to Anna. + +"Wow, Anna, you did it!" Ben says. + +Anna feels proud. She smiles. She thanks Max. She pets him again. + +The man says it is time to go. He calls Max. Max follows him. He waves goodbye to Anna and Ben. + +"Bye, Max! Bye, man!" Anna and Ben say. + +They wave back. They had fun with the furry dog. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could sit in and pretend to drive. They always took turns to sit in the car, but sometimes they wanted to sit in it at the same time. + +One day, they were playing with the car in the living room, when their mom called them for lunch. "Come on, kids, it's time to eat," she said. "You can play with the car later." + +Sara and Ben did not want to stop playing. They both wanted to sit in the car for one more minute. They started to argue and pull the car. "It's my turn!" Sara said. "No, it's mine!" Ben said. They both tried to sit in the car, but it was too small for both of them. + +Their mom saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, you two. You are being silly. You can't both sit in the car at the same time. You have to share and be nice to each other. Now, come to the table and eat your lunch." + +Sara and Ben did not listen to their mom. They kept pulling the car and shouting. "I want to sit in the car!" Sara demanded. "No, I do!" Ben demanded. They did not notice that the car was moving closer and closer to the couch. + +Suddenly, the car bumped into the couch and flipped over. Sara and Ben fell out of the car and landed on the floor. They were surprised and scared. They started to cry. + +Their mom ran to them and hugged them. She checked if they were hurt. They were not hurt, but they were sorry. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They realized that they had been silly and selfish. They decided to share the car and take turns. They also decided to listen to their mom and eat their lunch. + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good, kids. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some yummy soup and sandwiches. And maybe later, we can go to the park and play with the car again." + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They followed their mom to the kitchen. They were happy and hungry. They hoped that the car was not broken. They also hoped that they would not fight over it again. They loved each other and their mom and their car. They were good twins. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on adventures. One day, they saw a big, yellow bus parked near their house. It had no people inside, only many seats and windows. Lily and Ben wanted to see what was inside the bus, so they ran to the door and climbed up the steps. + +"Wow, look at all the seats!" Lily said. "We can sit anywhere we want!" + +"Maybe we can drive the bus too!" Ben said. He ran to the front and sat on the driver's seat. He grabbed the wheel and pretended to steer the bus. + +"Beep beep! We are going on a trip!" he shouted. + +Lily giggled and followed him. She sat on the seat next to him and looked out the window. She saw a big, green park with swings and slides and flowers. She also saw a small, red house with a chimney and a fence. + +"Look, Ben, there is a park and a house!" she said. "Maybe we can go there and play!" + +Ben looked out the window too. He saw the park and the house, but he also saw something else. He saw a tall, black hat peeking out from behind the fence. It looked like someone was hiding there, watching them. + +"Who is that?" Ben asked. He felt scared and curious. + +Lily saw the hat too. She felt the same way as Ben. She wondered who was wearing the hat and why they were hiding. + +"Maybe it is a magician!" she said. "Maybe he has a rabbit and a wand and can do tricks!" + +"Or maybe it is a robber!" Ben said. "Maybe he wants to steal the bus and our things!" + +Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They wanted to see the hat, but they also wanted to be safe. They looked at each other and sighed. They wished they had their mom or dad with them. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was the bus engine. It started to roar and shake. The bus began to move by itself. + +"Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. "The bus is going away!" + +They tried to get off the seat, but they were too late. The bus was already on the road, speeding away from the park and the house and the hat. Lily and Ben hugged each other and cried. They did not like this adventure at all. They wanted to go back home. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to go on the slide. The slide is big and fun. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a new slide. The new slide is bigger and faster than the old slide. They want to try it. + +"Can we go on the new slide, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but you have to wait your turn. There are other kids on the slide," her mom says. + +Anna and Ben wait in line. They count the kids in front of them. One, two, three, four, five. They are the sixth and seventh. + +Soon, it is their turn. They climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. + +"Are you ready?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, let's go!" Anna says. + +They slide down. They go very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They reach the bottom. They are happy. + +"That was awesome!" Ben says. + +"Let's do it again!" Anna says. + +They run back to the stairs. But they see a little girl crying. She is holding her mom's hand. She wants to go on the slide, but she is scared. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for her. They have an idea. + +"Hey, do you want to go on the slide with us?" Anna asks the little girl. + +"We can hold your hands. It is not scary. It is fun," Ben says. + +The little girl looks at them. She nods. She lets go of her mom's hand. She walks with them to the stairs. + +Anna and Ben are generous. They share the slide with the little girl. They help her climb up. They sit on the slide. They hold her hands. + +"Are you ready?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, let's go!" the little girl says. + +They slide down. They go very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They reach the bottom. They are happy. + +The little girl is not crying anymore. She is smiling. She hugs Anna and Ben. + +"Thank you! That was fun!" she says. + +"You're welcome! You did great!" Anna and Ben say. + +They make a new friend. They play on the slide together. They have a good time. Their moms are proud of them. They are good kids. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they decided to have a picnic under a big tree. They brought some sandwiches, fruits and juice. + +"Look, I have a cheese sandwich. It is my favorite," Lily said. + +"I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It is my favorite," Ben said. + +They opened their sandwiches and took a bite. Then they made a face. + +"Yuck! This is not cheese. This is peanut butter and jelly," Lily said. + +"Yuck! This is not peanut butter and jelly. This is cheese," Ben said. + +They looked at their sandwiches and saw that they had swapped them by mistake. They felt sad and angry. + +"You took my sandwich. Give it back," Lily said. + +"No, you took my sandwich. Give it back," Ben said. + +They started to argue and pull their sandwiches. They did not want to share or trade. + +Then they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big lion. The lion had escaped from the zoo and was hungry. It saw the children and their sandwiches and licked its lips. It ran towards them, ready to pounce. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped their sandwiches and hugged each other. They wished they had not fought over their food. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +A zookeeper heard their cries and came to the rescue. He had a powerful gun that could make the lion sleep. He aimed and shot the lion with a dart. The lion fell asleep and did not hurt the children. + +The zookeeper took the lion back to the zoo and checked on Lily and Ben. + +"Are you okay, kids? That was a close call. You are lucky I was nearby," he said. + +"Thank you, mister. You saved us," Lily and Ben said. + +They looked at their sandwiches on the ground. They were torn and dirty. + +"We are sorry, mister. We wasted our food. We were fighting over our sandwiches and did not notice the lion," Lily said. + +"That was not very smart, kids. You should not fight over small things. You should be grateful for what you have and share with your friends. You never know when you might need each other," the zookeeper said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Can we still be friends?" Lily asked. + +"Of course we can. Friends are more important than sandwiches," Ben said. + +They smiled and thanked the zookeeper again. He gave them some new sandwiches and juice. They ate and drank and felt happy. They promised to never fight over food again. They also promised to always discuss their problems and find a solution. They realized that sharing and talking are powerful ways to make friends and avoid trouble. +Lily and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to run after it and bring it back. + +One day, the sky was dark and cloudy. Lily and Ben heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They were scared of thunder. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. + +"Mom, mom, there is thunder!" Lily said. + +"Can we go inside?" Ben asked. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. Thunder is just a big sound. It can't hurt you. It means that it will rain soon. And after the rain, we might see a rainbow. Do you know what a rainbow is?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. They did not know what a rainbow was. + +"A rainbow is a beautiful thing. It is a big curve of many colors in the sky. It looks like a smile. It comes out when the sun and the rain meet. It is a sign of hope and happiness. Do you want to see a rainbow?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to see a rainbow. + +"Then let's wait for the rain to stop. Maybe we will be lucky and see a rainbow. But we have to be careful. Sometimes there are bad people who want to take the rainbow away. They are greedy and mean. They think that the rainbow has a pot of gold at the end. But that is not true. The rainbow belongs to everyone. If you see a bad person trying to take the rainbow, what will you do?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. Then they said, "We will shout and tell them to go away. We will mention that the rainbow is for everyone. We will not let them take the rainbow. We will share the rainbow with our friends and family. We will be happy and grateful for the rainbow." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's right, my loves. You are very smart and kind. I am proud of you. Now let's watch the sky and hope for a rainbow." +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with her big sister, Anna, but Anna was busy. Anna had to do homework upstairs. Lily knocked on Anna's door, but Anna said, "Go away, Lily. I have to finish this." + +Lily felt hurt. She did not understand why Anna did not want to play with her. She loved Anna very much. She went downstairs and found her teddy bear. She hugged her teddy bear and said, "You are my friend, Teddy. You always play with me." + +Mom saw Lily and knew she was sad. She came to Lily and said, "What's wrong, Lily? Why are you sad?" + +Lily told Mom what happened. She said, "Anna does not want to play with me. She is busy upstairs. She told me to go away." + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Anna has to do homework. She has a big test tomorrow. She is not mad at you. She just needs to study. Can you accept that?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I guess so. But I miss her. Can I play with her later?" + +Mom said, "Of course. When she is done with her homework, she will come downstairs and play with you. She loves you, too. Why don't you draw a picture for her? That will make her happy." + +Lily liked that idea. She said, "Okay, Mom. I will draw a picture for Anna. I will draw a rainbow and a heart and a flower. And I will write, 'I love you, Anna.'" + +Mom said, "That's very sweet, Lily. I'm sure Anna will love it. You are a good sister." + +Lily smiled. She was not sad anymore. She took her crayons and paper and started to draw. She hoped Anna would finish her homework soon. She wanted to play with her and show her the picture. She said to her teddy bear, "Come on, Teddy. Let's draw together." +Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday. She wanted to receive a big present from her mom and dad. She hoped it was a doll or a book or a dress. She ran to the living room and saw a big box with a bow. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +She opened the box and looked inside. She saw a curtain. A gray and old curtain. She felt sad and confused. Why did mom and dad give her a curtain? She did not like curtains. She liked toys and clothes and books. She looked at mom and dad and saw them laughing. They were not nice. They were mean. + +She started to cry. She threw the curtain on the floor and ran to her room. She slammed the door and hid under her bed. She felt cold and alone. She wished she had a friend or a hug or a cake. She did not want a curtain. She did not want a birthday. She did not want mom and dad. She wanted to go away. +One day, Tom and Lily wanted to play with a candle. They found one in the kitchen and took it to their room. They liked how it smelled and how it made a bright light. + +But they did not know how to light the candle. They tried to rub it, blow on it, and shake it, but nothing happened. They were sad and confused. + +They decided to discuss how to light the candle. They asked each other what they knew about fire and candles. Tom said he saw Mom use a stick with a red tip to light candles. Lily said she saw Dad use a small box with a wheel to make sparks. + +They looked around their room for a stick or a box, but they could not find any. They were about to give up, when they heard a knock on the door. It was Mom. + +She saw the candle and asked them what they were doing. They told her they wanted to light the candle, but they did not know how. Mom smiled and said she would show them, but only if they promised to be careful and never play with fire without an adult. + +She took the candle and the stick and lit the candle. She explained how fire works and why it can be dangerous. She also told them how to blow out the candle and how to be safe around candles. + +Tom and Lily thanked Mom and watched the candle with wonder. They liked how it flickered and danced. They felt happy and curious. They forgot about being sad and confused. + +Mom was proud of them for being honest and wanting to learn. She was not grumpy at all. She hugged them and said they could keep the candle, but only if they asked her before lighting it again. They agreed and said they loved her. + +They all enjoyed the candle together, until it was time for bed. Then they blew out the candle and said good night. They dreamed of fire and candles and learning new things. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with their mom and dad. The lake is big and blue. It has fish and ducks. + +Tom and Mia run to the water. They want to swim and splash. They put on their swimsuits and jump in. The water is cold and wet. They laugh and have fun. + +"Look, a duck!" Tom says. He points to a brown duck with a green head. The duck swims near them. It quacks and wags its tail. + +"Hi, duck!" Mia says. She reaches out her hand. She wants to touch the duck. The duck is curious. It swims closer to Mia. + +"Be careful, Mia," Tom says. "The duck might bite you." + +"No, it won't," Mia says. She smiles at the duck. She strokes its feathers. The duck likes Mia. It nibbles her fingers gently. + +"Wow, you are brave, Mia," Tom says. He is impressed. He wants to pet the duck too. He moves his hand slowly. + +But the duck is scared. It thinks Tom is a threat. It snaps at Tom's hand. It makes a loud noise. + +"Ow!" Tom says. He pulls back his hand. He is hurt and angry. He splashes water at the duck. The duck is angry too. It flaps its wings and shakes its head. It splashes water back at Tom. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Mia says. She is worried. She does not want Tom and the duck to fight. She tries to calm them down. She speaks softly to the duck. She hugs Tom's hand. + +"Sorry, Mia," Tom says. He is sorry too. He does not want to upset Mia or the duck. He looks at the duck. The duck looks at him. They are both wet and tired. + +"Let's be friends, duck," Tom says. He smiles at the duck. The duck quacks and nods. It swims closer to Tom. It lets him touch its feathers. + +"Yay, friends!" Mia says. She claps her hands. She is happy. She hugs Tom and the duck. They are all friends. + +The end. +Tom and Mia were having a picnic in the park. They had sandwiches, apples, and jelly for dessert. Tom liked jelly a lot. He wanted to eat all the jelly by himself. + +"Can I have some jelly, please?" Mia asked. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He grabbed the jar of jelly and ran away. + +Mia was sad. She wanted some jelly too. She followed Tom and saw him hiding behind a large tree. She had an idea. She picked up a stick and made a loud noise. + +"Roar! I am a big bear! I will eat you and your jelly!" Mia said. + +Tom was scared. He did not like bears. He thought a real bear was behind the tree. He dropped the jar of jelly and ran back to the picnic blanket. + +"Help! Help! There is a bear in the park!" Tom cried. + +Mia came out from behind the tree. She was holding the jar of jelly and smiling. + +"It was me, silly! I was pretending to be a bear. I wanted to scare you and get some jelly," Mia said. + +Tom was angry. He did not like being scared. He did not like sharing his jelly. + +"That was not nice! You scared me a lot! You are a bad sister!" Tom said. + +Mia felt sorry. She did not mean to scare Tom so much. She wanted to make him happy. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was just playing. You are a good brother. Do you want to share the jelly with me?" Mia said. + +Tom looked at Mia. He looked at the jar of jelly. He was still hungry. He liked jelly a lot. But he liked Mia more. + +"Okay, Mia. I will share the jelly with you. But only if you promise not to scare me again," Tom said. + +Mia nodded. She hugged Tom and gave him a spoon of jelly. + +"I promise, Tom. I will not scare you again. Thank you for sharing the jelly with me. You are a good brother," Mia said. + +Tom and Mia smiled. They ate the jelly together and enjoyed the picnic. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toys in the garden. They have a big ship that can float on water. They like to pretend they are pirates and sailors. + +"Look, Lily, I found a treasure map!" Ben says, holding a piece of paper with some drawings on it. "It says we have to sail to the island and dig under the palm tree." + +"Wow, Ben, that sounds fun! Let's go!" Lily says, grabbing her hat and sword. They run to the ship and climb on board. + +They push the ship into the pond and use sticks to row. They see a small island with a palm tree in the middle. They jump off the ship and run to the tree. + +"Here it is, Ben, the X marks the spot!" Lily says, pointing to the ground. They start to dig with their hands and find a metal box. They open it and see shiny coins and jewels. + +"Yay, we found the treasure!" Ben says, cheering. "We are the best pirates ever!" + +They put some of the treasure in their pockets and close the box. They run back to the ship, but they see something bad. The ship is dirty and covered with mud and leaves. + +"Oh no, our ship is dirty!" Lily says, frowning. "How did that happen?" + +"Maybe some other pirates tried to steal it, but they made a mess," Ben says, guessing. "We have to clean it, Lily, or it won't float." + +They look around and see a hose and a bucket. They fill the bucket with water and use the hose to spray the ship. They scrub the dirt and leaves off the ship with their hands and a cloth. + +"There, our ship is clean again!" Ben says, smiling. "Now we can sail back home and show our treasure to Mom and Dad." + +They put the ship back in the pond and row to the other side. They carry the ship and the box to the garden and show their parents what they found. + +"Wow, Ben and Lily, you had a great adventure!" Mom says, hugging them. "You are very brave and smart pirates!" + +"And you are very good at helping each other and cleaning your ship!" Dad says, praising them. "We are very proud of you!" + +Ben and Lily smile and hug their parents. They are happy and tired. They put their ship and their treasure in their room and go to bed. They dream of more adventures on the sea. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play hide and seek in their big house. Tom is the seeker. He counts to ten and then he says, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +He searches for Lily in every room. He looks under the beds, behind the curtains, in the closets. He cannot find her. He wonders where she is. He thinks maybe she is in the basement or the attic. He goes to the stairs. + +But then he hears a giggle. It comes from the living room. He runs back and sees a big pile of pillows on the sofa. He knows Lily is hiding there. He jumps on the pillows and says, "I found you, I found you!" + +Lily pops out and laughs. She says, "You are a good seeker, Tom. But I am a better hider. I was hiding in the university." + +Tom is confused. He says, "What is the university?" + +Lily points to the bookshelf. She says, "The university is where mommy and daddy keep their books. They say they learned a lot of things there. I wanted to learn too, so I hid in the university." + +Tom thinks that is silly. He says, "You cannot learn from the books, Lily. They have too many big words. You need to go to school to learn. And you need to play with me to have fun." + +Lily agrees. She says, "You are right, Tom. The books are boring. Let's play another game. How about tag?" + +Tom nods. He says, "OK, but I am the tagger. You are the runner. And no more hiding in the university!" + +They run and chase each other in the house. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the books and the university. They are happy twins. +Sam and Mia are twins. They go to school with their big sister, Lucy. Lucy wears a uniform. It is blue and white. Sam and Mia do not wear a uniform. They wear what they like. + +One day, Lucy has a test at school. She is very nervous. She puts her uniform on the bed and goes to brush her teeth. Sam and Mia see the uniform. They think it is funny. They want to play with it. + +"Look, Sam, this is Lucy's hat!" Mia says. She puts the hat on her head. It is too big for her. It covers her eyes. + +"Ha ha, Mia, you look silly!" Sam says. He grabs the hat and runs away. Mia chases him. + +They run around the room. They scatter Lucy's uniform everywhere. They throw the shirt on the lamp, the skirt on the chair, the socks on the floor, and the shoes on the window. + +Lucy comes back from the bathroom. She sees the mess. She is very angry. + +"Sam! Mia! What did you do?" she shouts. "You scattered my uniform! I need it for my test!" + +Sam and Mia stop running. They look at Lucy. They see her face. It is red and scary. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, Lucy," they say. "We just wanted to have fun. We did not mean to make you mad." + +Lucy sighs. She loves her twins, but they are very naughty. She picks up her uniform and tries to fix it. She hopes it is not too wrinkled. + +"Next time, please do not touch my uniform," she says. "It is not a toy. It is important for school." + +Sam and Mia nod. They hug Lucy and say they are sorry again. They help her tidy the room. They promise to be good. + +Lucy smiles. She forgives them. She puts on her uniform and goes to school. She hopes she does well on her test. Sam and Mia wave goodbye. They hope she does well too. They decide to play with their own toys. They do not scatter Lucy's uniform anymore. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new person in the park. The person is chubby and has a big hat. He sits on a bench and reads a book. + +"Who is that?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is lost," Ben says. + +They want to know more about the person. They walk slowly to the bench. They hide behind a tree. They whisper to each other. + +"Maybe he is a pirate. Look at his hat," Lily says. + +"Maybe he is a wizard. Look at his book," Ben says. + +They are curious and brave. They decide to talk to the person. They come out from behind the tree. They say hello to the person. + +The person looks up from his book. He smiles at them. He is not a pirate or a wizard. He is a teacher. + +"Hello, children. I'm Mr. Brown. I'm new in town. I like to read in the park. What are your names?" he says. + +Lily and Ben tell him their names. They tell him they are best friends. They tell him they like to play in the park. + +Mr. Brown is friendly and kind. He tells them stories from his book. He tells them jokes. He tells them he likes children. He asks them if they want to join his class. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They like Mr. Brown. They want to learn from him. They say yes to his offer. + +They hug Mr. Brown. They say goodbye to him. They run to their parents. They tell them about their new friend and teacher. They can't wait to see him again. +Ben and Lily are playing soldiers in the garden. They have hats and sticks and a big drum. They want to march like real soldiers. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben says. He bangs the drum and starts to march. "Left, right, left, right!" + +Lily follows him with her stick. She tries to march like Ben. "Left, right, left, right!" she says. + +They march around the garden. They see a line of ants on the ground. The ants are carrying bits of food. They march in a file. + +"Look, Lily, ants!" Ben says. He stops the drum and points. "They are smart. They march in a file, too." + +Lily bends down to look. She sees the ants. They are small and black and busy. "Wow, they are smart!" she says. "Can we march like them?" + +Ben nods. He picks up the drum. "Yes, we can. Come on, Lily, let's march in a file!" + +They stand behind each other. They hold their sticks. They march like the ants. "Left, right, left, right!" they say. + +They march in a file around the garden. They are happy. They are playing soldiers. They are smart. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They are very intelligent. They know many words and colors and shapes. + +One day, they are bored at home. They want to go outside and see the park and the animals. But it is raining hard. They cannot go outside. They are sad. + +They look at the window. They see a big truck. The truck has many boxes. The truck stops at their house. A man comes out of the truck. He knocks on the door. + +Mom opens the door. She says hello to the man. She says, "I ordered some books for Tom and Lily. Are they in the boxes?" + +The man says, "Yes, they are. Here you go. Have a nice day." + +Mom says, "Thank you. You too." + +Mom takes the boxes inside. She says to Tom and Lily, "Guess what? I have a surprise for you. I ordered some books for you. Do you want to see them?" + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +Mom opens the boxes. She shows them the books. The books have many pictures and stories. Some are about animals, some are about cars, some are about space. + +Tom and Lily are excited. They say, "Wow, wow, wow!" + +They hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best!" + +Mom says, "You are welcome, my loves. You are the best too!" + +They sit on the couch. They read the books together. They learn new things. They have fun. They forget about the rain. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a big pot and a big spoon. They pretend to make soup for the world. + +"Stir, stir, stir," Lily says. "We need to make the soup yummy and warm." + +"What do you put in the soup?" Ben asks. + +Lily thinks hard. "I put in carrots and peas and corn. And some water and salt. And some love." + +Ben smiles. "I like love. Love makes me happy. Can I stir too?" + +Lily nods. She gives Ben the spoon. They take turns to stir the soup. They sing a song. "Soup for the world, soup for the world, we make soup for the world." + +The sun shines on them. They feel happy and warm. They think the world is happy and warm too. They pour some soup in a bowl. They share it with their teddy bears. They say, "Thank you for the soup, Lily and Ben. You are very kind." + +Lily and Ben hug their teddy bears. They hug each other. They are best friends. They make soup for the world. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to swing on the vine that hung from the big tree. The vine was long and strong and made them feel like monkeys. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Ben said. "I can swing very high!" + +Lily watched Ben swing back and forth. She clapped her hands and laughed. "You are so brave, Ben!" + +But then, a noisy bee came buzzing near Ben's ear. Ben was scared of bees. He let go of the vine and fell to the ground. He started to cry. + +Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. "Don't cry, Ben. It's okay. The bee is gone." + +She kissed his cheek and rubbed his back. Ben felt better. He smiled at Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are so kind." + +They hugged again and then picked up the vine. They swung together and had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were on a big plane with their mom and dad. They were going to see their grandma and grandpa in a far away land. Lily and Tom liked to look out the window and see the clouds and the sky. + +But after a long time, they got bored and tired. They wanted to play and run and eat. They started to complain to their mom and dad. + +"Mom, I'm hungry. When can we have a snack?" Lily asked. + +"Dad, I'm bored. When can we get off the plane?" Tom asked. + +"Shh, not now. We have to wait a little longer. The plane is almost there. Be patient and quiet, please." Mom and dad said. + +Lily and Tom tried to be good, but they still felt grumpy. They looked out the window again and saw something new. It was the land they were going to. But it was not green and pretty like their home. It was brown and dry and dusty. + +"Mom, dad, look! The land is brown. Why is it brown?" Lily and Tom asked. + +"That's because it's a different land. It has a different weather and plants and animals. But it's still a beautiful land. And it has something very special. It has grandma and grandpa. They are waiting for us and they love us very much." Mom and dad said. + +Lily and Tom smiled and felt excited. They wanted to see grandma and grandpa and hug them and play with them. They forgot to complain and looked at the brown land with wonder. They knew they would have a lot of fun in the far away land. +Ben and Lily liked to watch the parade. They saw big cars, funny clowns, and loud music. They waved at the people and animals in the parade. They were happy. + +But then, Ben saw something strange. One of the clowns had a magic wand. He pointed it at a balloon and said, "Abracadabra!" The balloon disappeared. Ben was amazed. He wanted to see more. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Ben said. "The clown can make things disappear!" + +Lily looked, but she did not see the clown. She saw a big elephant. The elephant was very big and gray. It had a long nose and big ears. It looked serious. + +"Wow, Ben, wow!" Lily said. "The elephant is so big and serious!" + +Ben did not look at the elephant. He looked for the clown. But the clown was gone. He had disappeared too. Ben was sad. He wanted to see the clown again. + +"Where is the clown, Lily, where?" Ben asked. + +Lily did not know. She shrugged. She liked the elephant more. She thought the clown was silly. + +"Maybe he went home, Ben, maybe," Lily said. + +Ben hoped the clown would come back. He liked the clown more. He thought the elephant was boring. + +"Maybe he will come back, Lily, maybe," Ben said. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat something yummy. She asked her mom, "Can we order pizza?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, we can order pizza. What kind do you want?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked cheese and tomato. She also liked mushrooms and olives. But she wanted something special today. She said, "I want fairy pizza!" + +Mom looked puzzled. She said, "Fairy pizza? What is that?" + +Lily said, "It is pizza with fairy dust and fairy wings and fairy stars. It is magic and tasty!" + +Mom laughed and said, "I don't think they have fairy pizza at the pizza place. But we can make our own fairy pizza. We can use cheese and tomato and mushrooms and olives. And we can add some glitter and sprinkles and star-shaped cookies. How does that sound?" + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "That sounds great! Let's make fairy pizza!" + +Mom and Lily went to the kitchen and made fairy pizza together. They had fun putting the toppings and the decorations on the dough. They put the pizza in the oven and waited for it to bake. When it was ready, they cut it into slices and ate it. It was delicious and sparkly. Lily felt happy and full. She said, "Thank you, mom, for making fairy pizza with me. You are the best mom ever!" + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "You are welcome, sweetie. You are the best fairy ever!" +Tom and Anna were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play with their toys, run in the fields, and help their mom and dad. But one day, their mom and dad told them they had to pack their things and leave the village. They said there was a terrible fire in the forest and it was coming closer to their home. + +"Why do we have to pack?" Tom asked. He did not want to leave his toys and his friends. + +"Because we have to be safe, Tom," their mom said. "The fire is very big and very hot. It can hurt us and our house. We have to go to another place where there is no fire." + +"Where are we going?" Anna asked. She was scared of the fire and the smoke. She hugged her teddy bear. + +"We are going to grandma's house, Anna," their dad said. "She lives far away from the fire. She has a big garden and a nice dog. You will like it there." + +Tom and Anna packed their things in a big bag. They took their favorite toys, their clothes, and their books. They said goodbye to their friends and their neighbors. They got in the car with their mom and dad. They looked out the window and saw the fire in the forest. It was very bright and very loud. They felt sad and worried. + +But then they saw something else. They saw a big plane in the sky. It had a long hose and it was spraying water on the fire. It was trying to stop the fire and save the forest. Tom and Anna smiled and clapped their hands. + +"Look, mom, look, dad!" they shouted. "The plane is helping! The plane is making the fire smaller!" + +Their mom and dad smiled too. They hugged Tom and Anna and said, "Yes, the plane is helping. And so are the firefighters and the people in the village. They are all working together to fight the fire. They are very brave and very kind. Maybe we can come back to our home soon. But for now, we are going to grandma's house. And we will be safe and happy there." +Lily and Max were very happy. It was snowing outside, but they were warm and cozy inside. They had a big fireplace in the living room, where they could see the fire and the sparks. The fire made a nice sound, like crackle and pop. + +"Look, Max, the fire is so pretty!" Lily said. She pointed at the flames that danced and changed colors. "It is red and orange and yellow and sometimes blue!" + +Max nodded. He liked the fire too. He also liked the smell of the fire, like wood and smoke. He moved closer to the fireplace and felt the heat on his face. "The fire is so warm, Lily!" he said. He stretched his hands towards the fire, but not too close. He knew the fire could hurt him if he touched it. + +Lily and Max decided to play a game. They took turns to clap their hands and say a word that rhymed with fire. Lily clapped and said "tire". Max clapped and said "wire". Lily clapped and said "hire". Max clapped and said "liar". They laughed and clapped and rhymed until they ran out of words. + +Then they heard their mom calling them from the kitchen. "Lily and Max, dinner is ready!" she said. "Come and wash your hands and sit at the table!" + +Lily and Max jumped up and ran to the kitchen. They smelled something delicious, like chicken and potatoes and carrots. They washed their hands and sat at the table. Their mom brought them plates of food and smiled. "You two look so happy," she said. "Did you have fun by the fireplace?" + +Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They told their mom about their game and how they clapped and rhymed. Their mom listened and praised them. "You are very clever and creative," she said. "I'm proud of you!" + +Lily and Max felt warm and cozy inside, just like by the fireplace. They ate their food and thanked their mom. They thought it was a perfect day. +Sara and Tom were adventurous twins. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Sara said. + +"OK!" Tom agreed. + +They lifted the lid and saw many old things. There were books, clothes, toys, and a shiny trumpet. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said, picking up the trumpet. "I want to play it!" + +She put it to her mouth and blew hard. A loud noise came out. It hurt her ears and made her frown. + +"Stop it, Sara!" Tom said, covering his ears. "That noise is too loud! You will wake up Mom and Dad!" + +But Sara did not stop. She liked the noise. She thought it was funny. She blew the trumpet again and again. + +Tom got angry. He grabbed the trumpet from Sara and threw it back in the box. + +"Hey, give it back!" Sara said, reaching for the trumpet. "That's mine!" + +"No, it's not!" Tom said, pushing Sara away. "You are being mean and noisy!" + +They started to fight over the box. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +Suddenly, they heard another noise. It was Mom and Dad. They came into the garage and saw the twins. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked, frowning. + +"Why are you making so much noise?" Dad asked, frowning too. + +Sara and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +"We were just playing with the box," Sara said. + +"We found a trumpet and Sara wanted to play it," Tom said. + +"But it was too loud and Tom got mad," Sara said. + +"And we started to fight," Tom said. + +They hung their heads and said, "We are sorry." + +Mom and Dad sighed. They knew Sara and Tom were adventurous, but they also needed to be respectful. + +"It's OK, we forgive you," Mom said. "But you have to be careful with old things. They might be broken or dirty." + +"And you have to be quiet when we are sleeping," Dad said. "Or you will wake us up and make us grumpy." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They hugged Mom and Dad and said, "We love you." + +Mom and Dad smiled. They hugged Sara and Tom and said, "We love you too." + +They helped them put the box back in its place and took them to the kitchen for breakfast. Sara and Tom decided to play something else later. Something less noisy and more fun. +Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Jen has a journal. She writes and draws in it every day. She thinks it is fun and smart. + +One day, Tom comes to Jen's house. He sees her journal on the table. He is curious. He picks it up and opens it. He sees Jen's writing and drawing. He laughs. He says, "This is silly. This is not smart. This is baby stuff." + +Jen hears Tom. She is angry. She runs to him and grabs her journal. She says, "No, Tom. This is not silly. This is not baby stuff. This is my journal. It is smart and fun. You are mean and rude." + +Tom does not listen. He tries to take the journal back. He says, "Give it to me. I want to see more. I want to make fun of it." + +Jen and Tom pull and tug. The journal rips. Jen and Tom are shocked. Jen is sad. She cries. She slaps Tom. She says, "Go away, Tom. You are not my friend. You are bad. You broke my journal." + +Tom is hurt. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Jen. I was wrong. I was mean and rude. I did not mean to break your journal. I was just joking. Please forgive me. Please be my friend." + +Jen stops crying. She looks at Tom. She sees his sorry face. She thinks for a while. She says, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be nice and respectful. You have to say sorry to my journal. And you have to help me fix it." + +Tom nods. He says, "OK, Jen. I will be nice and respectful. I will say sorry to your journal. And I will help you fix it." + +Jen and Tom hug. They are friends again. They go to Jen's room. They find some tape and glue. They fix the journal. They write and draw together. They have fun. They are smart. +Tom and Jen were friends who liked to act. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups and do things they saw on TV. One day, they found a pack of cheap smoke sticks in the park. They thought it would be fun to act like the people who smoked on TV. + +They took the smoke sticks and hid behind a tree. They lit one and tried to puff like the TV people. But the smoke was bad and made them cough and feel sick. They threw the smoke stick away and tried another one. But it was the same. They did not like the smoke at all. + +Then they heard a loud voice. It was Jen's dad. He had seen them from the window and came to the park. He was very angry and sad. He took the smoke sticks and threw them in the trash. He told them how bad the smoke was for their health and how it could make them very sick. He told them they should never act like that again. He told them they should act like good kids who cared about themselves and others. + +Tom and Jen felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and they would never do it again. They hugged Jen's dad and thanked him for caring. They learned their lesson. They decided to act like smart and happy kids who did not need cheap smoke sticks to have fun. They went home and played with their toys and books. They were glad they had a good friend and a good dad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the forest near their house. They have a secret hut made of sticks and leaves. They bring snacks and toys to the hut. + +One day, they hear a loud noise in the forest. It sounds like a big animal. They are scared. They run to the hut and hide inside. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Tom whispers to Mia. "Maybe it will go away." + +They listen. The noise comes closer and closer. They hear footsteps and growls. They hug each other. + +"Who is there?" a voice says. It is not a scary voice. It is a friendly voice. It is their dad. He is looking for them. + +"Dad, dad, we are here!" Tom and Mia shout. They come out of the hut. They see their dad smiling. He has a big stick in his hand. He was making the noise to scare them. + +"Did I scare you, kids?" he asks. He laughs. He hugs them. + +"Yes, you did, dad," Tom says. "But we are not mad. We are happy to see you." + +"Me too, dad," Mia says. "But don't do that again. It was too dark and too loud." + +"OK, OK, I'm sorry," dad says. "Let's go home. It's getting late. And next time, tell me when you go to the forest. I want to play with you too." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found shiny stones or pretty flowers. + +One day, they noticed something green and round in the dirt. It was not a stone or a flower. It was an avocado. Ben and Lily had never seen an avocado before. They wondered what it was and how it got there. + +"Maybe it is a ball," Ben said. He tried to bounce it, but it did not bounce. It just made a squishy sound. + +"Maybe it is a hat," Lily said. She tried to put it on her head, but it did not fit. It just made a messy mark. + +"Maybe it is a toy," Ben said. He tried to open it, but it was too hard. He just made a dent. + +"Maybe it is a food," Lily said. She tried to bite it, but it was too bitter. She just made a face. + +They decided they did not like the avocado. They threw it away and went back to playing. They did not know that the avocado was a seed. They did not know that it came from a big tree. They did not know that it was a fruit. + +The avocado was a mysterious thing. +Anna likes to play with her flute. She can make nice sounds with it. She blows air into the flute and moves her fingers on the holes. She likes to add new sounds to her songs. + +One day, she sees a big snake in the garden. She is not afraid of the snake. She knows it is harmless. It does not bite or hurt anyone. It just likes to sunbathe on the grass. + +She decides to play her flute for the snake. She thinks the snake will like her music.

It likes to hear new things. Anna smiles and starts to play her flute. She plays a happy song. She adds some high notes and some low notes.

He wanted to help his sister. He had an idea. He bounced the ball very hard and very high. The ball flew up in the air and hit the bee. The bee fell down and flew away. + +"Wow, Ben, you saved me!" Sara said. "You bounced the ball so high and so hard. You are very brave and very strong." + +Ben smiled and hugged Sara. "You are welcome, Sara. You are very smart and very kind.

They have fun. They become friends. Lily forgets about the bear. She is happy. She is a dancer. +Lily and Ben are twins. They love to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the living room. They open it and see many socks. Some are red, some are blue, some are green. They are very happy. + +"Look, Lily, we can make puppets with the socks!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, that sounds fun!" Lily says. + +They take some socks and put them on their hands. They make eyes and mouths with buttons and yarn. They give their puppets names and voices. They pretend to have a show. + +"Hello, I am Rex, the dinosaur. I am big and strong.

Lily says with a high voice. + +They make their puppets talk and play. They laugh and clap. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the socks and the buttons and the yarn. She is not happy. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my socks? These are not toys. These are fake socks. I need them for work. They make my legs look nice. You have to put them back." Mom says. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They like their puppets. They do not want to give them back. + +"But Mom, we love our puppets. They are our friends. They make us happy. Can we keep them, please?" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom thinks for a moment. She sees their sad faces. She remembers how she used to play with socks when she was little. She smiles. + +"Okay, okay. You can keep your puppets. But only two each. And you have to be careful with them. And you have to help me find some real socks for work. Deal?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and say thank you. They choose their favorite puppets and put the rest back. They help Mom find some real socks. They are a good team. + +The end. +Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang at home, at school, and in the park. She sang loud and high. She sang songs from the opera. The opera was a show with singing and music. Lily wanted to be an opera singer when she grew up. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big tree with a bird nest. She heard a baby bird chirp. It sounded sad.

She said Lily was a popular opera singer. Lily was happy. She loved to sing. +Sam and his dad went to the shop. Sam saw a shiny thing on the shelf. It was a razor. Sam wanted to touch it. + +"Can I have this, dad?" Sam asked. + +"No, Sam, that is not for you. That is for shaving. It is sharp and can hurt you." Dad said. + +"But it is so shiny and pretty. I want to buy it." Sam said. + +"Trust me, Sam, you don't need it. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. You are a smart boy. You can find something else to buy." Dad said. + +Sam thought for a moment. He looked around the shop. He saw a book with pictures of animals. He liked animals. He picked up the book. + +"Can I have this, dad?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, Sam, that is a good choice. That is a book. You can learn from it. It is not sharp and it will not hurt you." Dad said. + +"Thank you, dad. I like this book.

They had a big yard with a creek that ran through it. The creek was cold and clear, and they liked to splash in it and look for fish and frogs. Sometimes they would make boats out of sticks and leaves and watch them float away. + +One day, they decided to explore the other side of the creek, where there were more trees and rocks. They crossed the creek on a big log that was like a bridge. They found a lot of new things to see and do, like a bird's nest, a shiny stone, and a hole that might be a rabbit's home. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. + +"Tom, Jen, it's time for lunch!" they heard their mom call from the house. They looked at the sun and saw that it was high in the sky. They had been gone for a long time. They hurried back to the log, but when they got there, they saw that the creek was much higher and faster than before. It had rained in the hills, and the water had risen. The log was wet and slippery, and the water was too deep and strong to cross. + +They were scared and sad. They wanted to go home and eat and hug their mom. They did not know what to do. They shouted for help, but no one heard them. + +Then they saw something in the water. It was their boats, the ones they had made earlier. They had floated all the way to the other side of the creek. They were still together, tied by a long vine that they had used as a rope. The vine was long enough to reach the log. + +"Look, Jen, our boats!" Tom said. "Maybe we can use them to get across!" + +He grabbed the vine and pulled the boats closer. He tied one end of the vine to the log, and the other end to his waist. He gave Jen a warm smile and said, "Don't worry, Jen, we'll be home soon. We just have to be brave and careful. Hold on to me, and I'll hold on to the boats. They will help us float." + +Jen nodded and hugged Tom. She was still scared, but she trusted Tom and their boats. They stepped into the water, holding on to each other and the boats. The water was cold and fast, but the boats were light and strong. They pushed and pulled and kicked, and slowly they moved across the creek. They reached the other side, where their mom was waiting for them. She was so happy and relieved to see them. She hugged them and kissed them and thanked their boats. + +Tom and Jen were happy too. They had made it home, and they had learned something. They had learned that their boats were more than just toys. They were tools that could help them in trouble. They had learned that their vine was more than just a rope. It was a bond that could unite them in danger. They had learned that their friendship was more than just fun. It was a strength that could keep them warm and safe. +Sara was a girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a pretty smile. Sara always took Lily with her when she went to the park, the store, or the school. + +One day, Sara's mom told her that she had a surprise for her. Sara was very excited. She hoped it was a new doll, or a dress, or a cake. She followed her mom to the living room, where there was a big box with a bow. Sara's mom said, "This is for you, Sara. You can open it now." + +Sara ripped the paper and opened the box. Inside, there was a small cage with a furry animal. Sara looked closer and saw that it was a rat. A rat with red eyes, sharp teeth, and a long tail. Sara screamed and dropped the box. She ran to her mom and hugged her. "Mom, why did you give me a rat? I don't like rats! They are scary and ugly and mean!" + +Sara's mom looked surprised and sad. She said, "But Sara, this is not a rat. This is a hamster. A hamster is a nice pet. He is soft and cute and friendly. He can play with you and sleep with you and eat with you. I thought you would like him. His name is Bob." + +Sara looked at the cage again. She saw that the hamster was not scary or ugly or mean. He was just scared and confused. He looked at Sara with his small black eyes and made a squeaky sound. Sara felt sorry for him. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know he was a hamster. I thought he was a rat. Can I hold him?" + +Sara's mom smiled and said, "Of course, Sara. But be gentle and careful. He is very small and fragile. You have to be a good friend to him." She took the hamster out of the cage and put him in Sara's hands. Sara felt his warm fur and his tiny heartbeat. She said, "Hello, Bob. I'm Sara. I'm sorry I was scared of you. You are not a rat. You are a hamster. And you are pretty." +Anna liked to grow squash in her garden. She planted the seeds, watered them, and watched them grow. She was very proud of her squash.

She thought she was happy, but she was not. She felt guilty and scared. She knew she did a wrong thing. + +Soon, they saw a big dog. The dog saw the purse too. It barked and chased Lily.

"It must have fallen from the sky." + +Sam looked at the star and smiled. "Wow, it's so pretty. But it's also very cold. Feel it, Mia." + +Mia touched the star and shivered. "Brrr, you're right, Sam. It's very cold. Maybe the star is sad because it's not in the sky anymore. Maybe we should put it back." + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, Mia, let's do that. The star belongs in the sky, not in the well. Maybe it will be happy again if we let it go." + +Sam and Mia lifted the bucket and poured the water and the star back into the well. They waved goodbye to the star and hoped it would find its way back to the sky. Then they ran to the swings and played some more.

You did not take care of your boat and it could not take care of you. You should love your boat and treat it well. Then it will love you and help you. A boat is not just a thing. It is a friend." + +Sam learned his lesson. He decided to be more kind to his boat and to other sailors. He bought a new boat and named it Ben. He cleaned it and fixed it and stretched its sails.

Every time they were close to a street, Max looked to Amy, to make sure that she was still there. He began to recognize how the leash kept him safe when they were near a busy road. + +They had lots of fun walking around the town and eventually came home. Amy hugged him and said, "I'm glad that you recognize the leash now Max. I just want to keep you safe. We can go for walks together more often now!"

He noticed the rhythm of the river, the birds chirping, and the calm of the trees around him. Billy felt ready to explore the forest. + +He came across a pond with a giant tree at the center.

What about being a ballerina?" + +Sally wrinkled her nose. "No, I don't want to be a ballerina. I want to be a princess!" + +Mommy sighed and took Sally's hand. "Let's go outside to play," she said. + +Sally smiled at the mention of playing outside. She ran to the backyard and saw a soft pillow that was shaped like a castle.

Paw couldn't quite reach this one either. + +Just then, as if by chance, something that Paw could use to reach the door floated by. It was a balloon!

The glowing insect had given him a nasty bite. +Johnny started to cry. He was very sad that the smooth, shiny insect had hurt him. He was not able to play in the garden anymore. +Mommy had to take Johnny to the doctor for treatment. The doctor gave him a medicine to soothe the sting, but Johnny was still very unhappy.

I’m very tired.†+ +Papa bear nodded and said, “I think my tire needs to be changed too.†He stopped the car and got out to check the tire.

She asked her mom if she could buy it, but her mom said no. Molly was very disappointed and started to yell. Her mom said, "No yelling in the store." Everyone looked at them, but she knew it wasn't the time or place to yell. + +Molly and her mom finished their shopping and went to the checkout. Molly was still shocked she couldn't have the trophy, but she was a good girl and tried to be calm. As they left the store, Molly saw a little boy and his mom. The boy had the same trophy Molly wanted! She wanted to yell again, but she kept it inside. + +Molly knew that even if she couldn't get the trophy, it was still ok. She was happy with her Mom and all the fun things they did together. She smiled and said "Bye" to the little boy as they walked away. +Once there was a green fly who was flying around in the garden. She loved to sit on the leaves of the big bush and feel the breeze in her wings. + +Suddenly, a hand came out of nowhere and tried to swat the green fly. The fly was scared and flew away as fast as she could. + +The green fly stayed away for a few days, but eventually became curious again and decided to come back. But this time, the green fly was careful. She found a nice spot on a leaf and settled down. + +Once again, a hand appeared and tried to swat the green fly. But this time, the green fly was ready. She got away and the hand missed her. + +The green fly was relieved and continued to enjoy her peaceful spot. But then she heard a voice that said, "Don't worry fly, I won't try to swat you this time, I just want to give you a friendly slap. + +The green fly was so surprised, but realized that it was the same hand that had tried to swat her. She stayed calm, and the hand gently slapped her back.

Dad took a rope and tied it around Colin's waist. Colin was scared but he stayed very still. + +Mum checked the rope, nodding her head. She said sternly, "Colin, you were very naughty and you must be punished. You must stay here for an hour."

The fox tried to take it away from the rabbit but the rabbit wouldn't let go. He held onto the hat even more tightly. + +The fox got mad and started to fight the rabbit. He bit the rabbit's arm and the rabbit let go of the hat. The fox grabbed the hat and hopped away quickly. + +The rabbit was so upset. He had lost his hat and felt very sad. He lay in the meadow and he cried until he fell asleep. Sadly, the rabbit never got his hat back. +Once there was a puppy, who was called Paw. Paw had a problem - his paws were always cold. He wanted to keep them warm, so he decided to wrap them up. + +One day, Paw decided to take some material and wrap it around his paws. He put it on and it felt good, but after a few minutes it started to feel a bit uncomfortable. + +Paw went to find his friend, a little girl. Paw asked, "Can you help me? This material is too tight and it is uncomfortable". + +The little girl smiled. She went to the kitchen and found some soft, warm fabric. She wrapped it around Paw's paws, and they both smiled. + +Paw said, "Thank you friend. Now my paws are warm and comfortable". + +The little girl smiled and said, "You're welcome Paw. You should wrap your paws up every time it gets cold". + +And that's what Paw did, and he never had cold paws again! +Sam and Sally were two friends. They went on many adventures together. Every day, Sam tried to help Sally any way he could. He brought her oat cookies and played with her whenever he could. + +One day, Sally had an idea. She wanted to have a race with Sam. She thought she could beat him because she was so competitive. Sam didn't want to disappoint her, so the two of them raced around their backyard. + +Unfortunately, Sally felt so competitive that she raced too hard. She didn't see the big rock in her path and tripped. She fell over and hurt her knee. + +Sam heard her cries and ran over to help her. He comforted her and bandaged her knee.

She knelt down beside Little Joe and said, "You can have a cookie, but you have to understand how important it is to listen to me. Eating too many cookies is bad for you." + +Little Joe nodded. He understood mama was just trying to look after him. He offered her a hug, and she smiled. + +"Okay," she said. "One cookie. But no more!" + +Little Joe smiled happily, and the two of them shared a cookie, feeling no longer guilty. +Once upon a time there was a small, yellow ball. It would roll and it would roll, all across the grassy field. On this particular day, the little ball felt very lonely. He missed all the other things that usually came to play. + +As he continued to roll, the little ball wondered what he could do. Suddenly, he saw a small leaf blowing in the wind. It had a message written upon it that said 'The news is coming!'. + +This made the little ball very excited, so he followed the leaf. After a while, he reached a big tree and heard voices coming from the top. He climbed up and reached the top, where he saw a group of birds gathered around. + +"What kind of news are you talking about?" the little ball asked. One of the birds turned to him and said "A new park is going to be opened tomorrow. We can roll and play there!" + +The little ball was so happy! Finally he wouldn't be so lonely anymore.

She reached out to grab it, but then she heard a voice. + +"Wait!" + +Rose looked up and saw an old man. He asked, "Would you like to take the rose home?" + +Rose nodded her head and smiled. The old man said, "The rose is very special. Make sure you cherish it." + +Rose took the rose home with her and was very careful with it.

She was three years old and liked to measure things. + +One day took her measuring tape and went to her bedroom.

She was playing in the park when she discovered something on the ground. It was a match! Freya was so curious that she wanted to see what would happen if she cut the match in two. So she cut it in the middle and a bright, orange flame appeared and scared her. She started to cry and ran to her mom. + +Her mom said, "Freya, you must never cut a match again! It can be very dangerous." Freya was so sorry she didn't listen and promised to be more careful. + +The next day she was back in the park and found a match once again.

Safety matches are special matches that must have a special surface like sandpaper to be able to light. + +Freya took the safety match and sandpaper and tried to light the match. It worked! Her mom had taught her to be safe and Freya was happy that she listened. + +The moral of this story is to always listen to your parents and be safe. +Rita was a little girl.

You can have the candy!" Liza was so happy. She got lots of candy and went home with a smile on her face. +Sammy was walking by the river one day. Suddenly, he saw a wide box floating in the water.

"Well, looks like you've found yourself a treasure today! I've been looking for that cheese for days. You can keep it." + +Sammy smiled wide. He thanked the farmer and hurried off with his new treasure. From that day on, Sammy loved having cheese, reminding him of his special day by the river. +One day, Emma and her mom went to buy some letters for her grandmother. They went to the post office and Emma saw all the different mailboxes. "We can mail the letters to grandmother here!", exclaimed Emma's mom.

She made all sorts of motions, dancing and spinning in circles. She felt so free and happy. + +When they arrived home, Emma's mom had a surprise for her: a spicy snack!

Mailing letters and dancing in the park had been such a fun day! +Once upon a time, there was an old man who was very wealthy. He lived in a big house with a lot of money. One day, he wanted to go on a long journey but he didn't have a lot of money. He was worried about how he would pay for it. + +Suddenly, he had an idea. He went to the town square and asked everyone around if he could borrow some money. Everyone refused to lend him any of their money. + +Finally, one kind-hearted person offered to permit him to borrow some money. She said she wanted him to be able to have a wonderful journey, so she gave him the money he needed. As a thank you, the old man gave the kind-hearted person a tip. + +The old man had a wonderful journey and thanked the kind-hearted person for allowing him to borrow the money.

The first friend was named Tom and the second friend was named Gabby. Tom was looking for something to do on a Friday night. + +Gabby said, "Hey Tom, let's play tag!" + +Tom replied, "Let's include our couch too!" + +"How do we do that?" asked Gabby. + +Tom said, "Let's run around the fat couch!" + +So they ran around the big, fat couch and chased each other until the sun went down.

They stopped and listened to the sweet sound, when they noticed something bright and shiny. + +"Look, a mark!" shouted the brother, pointing to a bright star at the end of a path. + +"Let's follow it," said the sister, and so they followed the mark until it led them to a deep, dark cave. They were curious so they stepped inside, and were amazed by what they saw. + +Inside the cave, there was a sparkling lake and the clear night sky twinkled above them. The stars and moon created a special bond between the brother and sister that was so deep, it felt like a part of their family. + +The two children sat together in the cave and watched the sky until the dawn. They promised to always follow the stars, together. +Once upon a time, there was a cute, fluffy bunny. She was so adorable!

It was the weight of loneliness. + +Finally she came upon a lovely meadow. It was sunny and warm and the grass was so soft and comforting. Suddenly, she felt the weight on her back disappear. At last, she had found a place to settle! + +She settled into her new home and started eating the sweet grass. Every day she felt happier and more at ease. + +The bunny never felt lonely again. She had found the perfect place to settle and it was the most adorable thing ever! +One day Tom and his mom were playing outside in the sun. Tom saw a small hut in the distance and he wanted to go look at it. His mom said it was okay, so they both started walking towards the hut. + +When they got there, Tom peered into the dark hut and he was a bit fearful. His mom spoke up, "Tom, you don't have to go in if you're scared. You can keep playing out here in the sun instead." + +Tom had a little chat with himself and decided that he wanted to explore the mysterious hut.

His mom smiled and said, "that's my brave boy!" +Once upon a time, there was a strong and mighty frog. She wanted to hop so high that she could touch the clouds. + +"Frog, don't do it," said her friend the turtle. "It is too dangerous." But the frog didn't listen. + +The frog hopped and hopped and hopped. She felt the wind on her face and she was giddy with excitement. The higher she hopped, the more she felt like nothing could stop her. + +But soon, a mighty wind blew and blew, and it blew the frog up and up into the sky.

Dad said to Jack, "Let's pretend to be super heroes - you have to put on your special belt." Jack excitedly grabbed his belt and entered the game. + +He skipped around the park, pretending to be brave and strong, like a real super hero. Suddenly, Jack noticed something strange. He became alert and focused intently, turning his head to scan for movement. "What's wrong Jack?" Dad asked, concerned. + +Jack pointed towards a bush. In the shadows of the bush, a squirrel slowly crept forward. When he saw Jack, he paused, but then he ran away quickly, his tail fluttering behind him. + +Dad laughed and said, "Great work Jack - you were so alert!"

Jack said to them, "I guess I found it outside!" His mom and dad smiled and gave Jack a hug. + +But a few days later, the button was gone. Jack thought Bob must have taken it, but he was loyal and wouldn't steal things. Jack's mom searched everywhere for the button, but it was nowhere to be found. She asked Jack, " I guess who could have taken it?" Jack smiled and said, "Bob, because he's loyal to me and loves shiny things!" Everyone laughed and Bob barked happily. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was an ugly old man. He lived in a tall house and was very lonely.

She smiled at the old man and said, "I'll help you finish your history." + +The old man was so happy that he thanked her and together they worked to put his history together. + +When they were done, the old man smiled for the first time in years. He thanked the little girl and she ran off to tell her friends what she had done. + +The old man kept his history safe and was never lonely again. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named John. He was only three years old. He was always looking for something fun to do. One day, he had an idea. + +He went to the barn and found some hay. He brought the hay to the front lawn and started building a big stack. + +"I'm going to jump in it," he said to himself. But John's mom told him to be careful. +"Be sure to mind your feet when you jump," she said. + +John knew he was not supposed to get hurt, so he was very careful.

He was safe and sound inside the hay. + +John was happy! He had a lot of fun with his hay stack. From then on, John was always thinking of new ways to use his hay. He was getting very good at minding his feet! +Once upon a time, there was a bear who loved to explore. He was brave, compassionate and kind. +One sunny day, the bear was walking along the side of the road. He noticed that the traffic had caused a lot of pollution and hurt the plants and animals. The bear's heart ached to see the hurt, so he wanted to find a way to heal the land. + +He thought and thought, until finally he had an idea. He hopped off the road and saw a clearing of wildflowers. He laughed, realizing what he had to do. + +He carefully took out a little watering can. He walked patiently up and down the road, filling the can from a stream.

He smiled as he saw that the wildflowers had healed, and the land was growing to be green and healthy again. + +The bear was so proud of the work he had done, and the lesson he had learned. He knew that with a little compassion and hard work, we can all heal what hurts. +John and Jack were walking in the park when they saw an orange handle.

Jack said it was a balloon and that if they tied it up they'd each get a nice surprise. + +John and Jack were eager to find out what the surprise was, so they quickly tied the handle to a nearby tree. Suddenly, the balloon leapt up into the sky, taking John and Jack's smiles with it. + +The boys watched in disappointment as the balloon drifted out of sight. Their disappointment changed to confusion when they realized that the balloon was never coming back. John and Jack started to understand their mistake: a handle attached to nothing can offer no surprise. + +The moral of the story is that a promise is only as strong as what it is tied to. If there is no substance to a promise, it can easily be taken away by a gust of wind. +Once there was a very dependable little girl named Sally. Sally was very creative and she liked to work in her garden every day. +One day as Sally was tending to her garden, she saw a tiny root popping out of the ground.

The angel said: "Be peaceful, Chloe, and I will stay here with you." + +Chloe was so happy and felt so peaceful. She smiled and the angel smiled too. Since then, Chloe visits the park every day and talks to her angel friend. +Simon and Jane wanted to help their mom. They opened the closet together and found many healthy things. Jane asked Simon, “What should we do?†Simon smiled and replied, “Let’s help mommy clean the kitchen.†So Simon and Jane put away all the healthy snacks and wiped down the counters. + +Next, the two children helped their mom make the bed.

Something was moving around and it made him scared. Finally, the rustling stopped and Little Tim felt brave enough to take a step forward. + +Suddenly, a big, grey fox stepped out of the shadows.

She tossed the rod in the pond and squealed with delight. + +Her mom shook her head and smiled. "Come on, Lola, time to go home!" she said. Lola scrambled to the pond's edge and grabbed the fishing rod. They both quickly got in the car and drove back home. + +Lola was so happy with her day at the park. Even though she hurried, she had lots of fun! +Mommy was teaching her three year old, Jason, how to play soccer. She took him to the stadium every day.

He looked at the zip on the front of the jacket and asked his mum why it was there. + +Mum said, "It's a zip, Sammy. You use it to fasten your jacket up." + +Sammy then looked very confused. "Fasten? What does it do?" + +Mum replied, "It means to close the jacket so it keeps you warm. If you put your finger inside the zip and pull it up, you will receive many hugs from the jacket." Sammy smiled and said, "That sounds great! Let's try it!" + +So, Sammy put his finger inside the zip and pulled it up. Immediately he felt a warm hug from his jacket and knew it was keeping him warm and safe. He was so happy and smiled widely. + +Mum said, "See?

He was very excited to look at the menu. +Sam asked his mom, "What should I get mommy?" +"Why don't you look for something attractive?" replied his mom. +Sam began to run up and down the menu, pointing at each item he found interesting. But then he saw a very tasty-looking dessert. +"Mommy can I get that one?" Sam asked. +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have it!" +Sam was very happy, and couldn't wait to have it. He ran around the restaurant, showing everyone his delicious dessert. Finally, he was able to eat it and it was yummy! +Once there was a little girl who was very humble.

He sat down and said, “Let’s pretend we are in the pool, that way we can play together.†+ +The small kid liked the idea and they pretended they were in the pool. They had so much fun and the small kid did not have to be scared. + +The moral of the story is that it is okay to be scared, but it is important to find a way to have fun anyway. It is better to be honest than to lie. +Alice and her friends were playing in the park. They were so excited! Suddenly, Alice saw someone walking towards them wearing a uniform.

She started to cry and told her mom that she had touched the switch. + +Her mom patiently told her why she had been told not to touch the switch. She said, "Sally, a switch is something very important and it can cause a lot of trouble if we don't use it carefully. From now on, if you want to know more about something, always tell us and we will explain it to you." + +Sally took her mom's advice and always remembered to tell her parents about things she didn't understand instead of being too curious and clumsy. + +This is a lesson for all of us.

When the light passed by, the little boy realized something amazing - he had a magical heel on one of his feet!

They were having so much fun that they forgot all about the change that had happened. + +However, the change was far from over. The next morning, the children awoke to find that the beam of light had transformed their big and attractive house into a huge and beautiful castle.

Suddenly, he went too high and lost his balance. He tumbled off the swing and the ground was hard. Paws was hurt and scared. + +He learned an important lesson that day - never be too persistent.

The wolf smiled and said, "I understand, it's been hard to keep the secret. May I help you tell it?". + +The bear was surprised, but after considering it carefully, she decided to trust the wolf and agreed. Together, they formed a plan for how to share the secret and, with newfound courage, the little bear followed it. + +At first, it was difficult to speak, but soon the bear found the courage and strength to tell her secret. The wolf was happy for her and said, "You should always be brave enough to tell your secrets!". The little bear thanked him and remained in her den, joyfulness replacing her troubled heart. +John was playing in the park with his best friend, Jane. They were having lots of fun, but suddenly John lost the rope he was playing with.

Maybe someone has seen it." + +So they looked around the park, but they couldn't find the rope. Suddenly, they heard a little voice say, "I have it!"
