Scooping him up, he ran off into the dark woods. + +Rabbit was never seen again. His silly attempt to hide from the world forever led to his own death. If only he had stayed at home yesterday, it would have been peaceful until the sun set. +The sun was shining, and Seth was excited. He was going to the park with his dad! Dad had promised him an exciting surprise, and when they arrived at the park, Seth saw it. + +A large golden medal hung from a ribbon around a tree.

As they walked, Joe noticed that the ground was getting softer, and wetter. + +Joe turned to his friend and said, "Mark, I think we should turn back. The ground is soft and it can be dangerous walking here". + +But Mark wasn't paying attention and said, "No, let's keep going, it'll be fun". + +Suddenly, the ground gave way and Joe and Mark fell into a deep mud pit. Joe was very scared and started to cry. + +Mark realized his mistake and said, "Joe, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. We should always be alert and watch what is happening around us." + +Joe nodded in agreement and was happy that he had a friend like Mark who could learn from his mistake. + +The moral of the story is that we should always be aware and alert of our surroundings.

They kicked it and rolled it around for a while. Eventually, Jack got an idea. He said, "I think we can do something even more fun!" + +Sally asked, "What is it?" + +Jack said, "Let's turn this football into a huge slide. We'll slide down it insteadof rolling it around!" + +So, Jack and Sally spent the rest of the day performing with the huge football. They turned it into a fun slide and slid down it all afternoon. They had so much fun! + +The moral of this story? With a little creativity and imagination, anything can be fun! +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Jane.

But first you need to give me something in return. Can you find me a spade?" + +Jane thought for awhile and then said, "I don't have a spade, but I can send my little brother to get one!" + +The old lady was impressed. "Alright then, off you go to get a spade. I'll be waiting here for you." + +Jane ran off and sent her brother to go get a spade.

He said, "If you don't move, I'll hurt you!" + +The brave pirate knew he had no choice but to fight the mean pirate. He fought bravely, but sadly he lost. + +The bad ending of this story teaches us that it is always best to stay away from people who want to hurt us.

They became friends and started sitting together at their nice desks. But one day, Lily got sick and had to stay home from school. Timmy missed his friend and was sad. + +The next day, Timmy found out that Lily had to move away and go to a different school. Timmy was very sad and missed his friend at her desk. He wished he had introduced himself sooner so they could have been friends for longer. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim. Tim loved to play outside. One day, he found a big rock. The rock was heavy, but Tim wanted to carry it. He tried and tried, but it was too heavy for him. + +Then, Tim's friend True came by. True was bigger and stronger than Tim. Tim asked True to help him carry the rock. True said yes and together they carried the rock to a special place. + +After they were done, Tim noticed that the place was messy. He wanted to make it tidy. True helped him pick up all the things and put them in their right places. Tim was happy that he found a good friend like True. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, she went to the park to play with her friends. As she was playing, she saw a boy she had never met before. She went up to him and said, "Hi! What's your name?" + +The boy replied, "My name is Max. Nice to meet you, Lily!" They played together for a while and had lots of fun. + +Later on, Lily's mom called her to come home for dinner. As she was leaving, she noticed that Max had thrown his candy wrapper on the ground instead of putting it in the bin. "Max, that's not safe! You need to put your trash in the bin so that no one gets hurt," she said. + +Max felt embarrassed and said sorry. Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, we all make mistakes. Let's make sure we keep the park safe for everyone." And with that, they said goodbye and went their separate ways. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to wear colorful dresses and play outside with her rubber ball. One day, she went to the park to play and met a boy named Timmy. + +"Hi Lily, do you want to play catch with my rubber ball?" Timmy asked. + +"Yes please!" Lily replied, excitedly. + +They played catch for a while until Lily accidentally threw the ball too hard and it bounced away. They searched for it but couldn't find it anywhere. + +"I'm sorry Timmy, I lost your ball," Lily said sadly. + +"That's okay," Timmy replied, "it was just a rubber ball. We can play with something else next time." + +Lily felt bad for losing Timmy's ball and wished she could find it. But it was nowhere to be seen. She learned her lesson to be more careful with things she borrowed from others. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny was very shy and didn't like to talk to other animals. One day, Benny saw a big piece of coal on the ground. He thought it looked yummy and decided to chew on it. But then, he started to feel sick and realized that coal was not good to eat. + +Suddenly, Benny heard a loud noise. It was a big, mean dog who wanted to chase him! Benny tried to run away, but he was too scared. Just then, a friendly bird named Billy flew down and saw what was happening. Billy had an idea and flew over to the coal. He picked it up with his beak and flew back to Benny. + +"Chew on this instead!" said Billy, dropping a big carrot in front of Benny. Benny was so happy and started to chew on the carrot. The dog saw the carrot and ran after it instead of Benny. Benny was safe and happy, thanks to his new friend Billy. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat candy and cake all day long. Her mom always told her that she needed to eat healthy foods to grow big and strong. + +One day, Lily's mom gave her a teaspoon of honey to put in her tea. Lily thought it was too small and wanted more. Her mom said, "No, one teaspoon is enough for a healthy drink." + +Lily didn't listen and poured more honey in her tea. When she took a sip, it was too sweet and made her feel sick. She told her mom, "My tummy hurts!" Her mom said, "Next time, listen to me and only put one teaspoon of honey. It's not good to have too much sugar." + +Lily learned her lesson and promised to listen to her mom. From that day on, she ate healthy foods and only used one teaspoon of honey in her tea. She felt better and stronger than ever before. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Timmy. Timmy was a curious mouse who loved to explore. One day, Timmy found himself in a big maze. He ran and ran, but he couldn't find his way out. He was worried and scared. + +Suddenly, Timmy heard a voice. "Hello there, little mouse. Do you need help?" It was a wise owl. "Yes, please," said Timmy. The owl showed Timmy the way out of the maze. + +But Timmy regretted asking for help. As he walked outside, he saw a big cat waiting for him. The cat ate Timmy and he never got to explore again. +Anna likes to play with her blocks. She has many blocks of different colors and shapes. She can make towers, houses, bridges and more with her blocks. She likes to add more blocks to her creations and see how tall or long they can be. + +One day, she finds a shiny block in her toy box. It is not like her other blocks. It is clear and sparkly and has many sides. She thinks it is a diamond. She wonders what she can do with it. She decides to add it to her tower. She puts it on the top of her tower and it makes it look very pretty. + +She shows her tower to her mom. Her mom smiles and says, "Wow, Anna, your tower is beautiful! Where did you get that diamond?" Anna says, "I found it in my toy box. It is a useful block. It makes my tower look nice." Her mom says, "That is not a block, Anna. That is a real diamond. It is very rare and valuable. You are very lucky to have it." + +Anna is surprised. She did not know that her diamond was not a block. She did not know that it was rare and valuable. She asks her mom, "What can I do with it?" Her mom says, "You can keep it as a treasure, or you can give it to someone you love, or you can trade it for something you want. It is your choice, Anna. What do you want to do with it?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes her diamond, but she also likes her blocks. She likes to play with them and make different things with them. She thinks that her blocks are more useful than her diamond. She says, "I want to trade it for more blocks. Then I can make more towers and houses and bridges and more. Can I do that, mom?" Her mom says, "Of course you can, Anna. That is a very smart and generous choice. I am proud of you." She hugs Anna and helps her find someone who wants to trade her diamond for more blocks. Anna is happy. She has more blocks to play with and she still has her tower with a shiny spot on the top. She thinks that her tower is the best tower ever. +Tom and Sue were brother and sister. They lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought over them. One day, they both wanted the same car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Give me the car!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine!" Sue said. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Sue fighting over the car. She was angry and sad. + +"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said. "You are not sharing. You are not being kind. You are not acting like a family. You need to learn a lesson. I will punish you. You will not play with any toys for one hour. You will sit in your rooms and think about what you did." + +Tom and Sue felt sorry. They did not want to be punished. They did not want to make Mom angry and sad. They let go of the car and said sorry to each other. They hugged and said sorry to Mom. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you, Tom and Sue. But you need to remember that sharing is caring. You need to respect each other and your toys. You are not independent. You are part of a family. And a family is like a country. It needs peace and love and cooperation to be happy and strong." +Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her secrets. She hid her diary under her pillow when she was done. She thought her diary was very expensive and special. + +One day, Lily came home from school and saw her brother Max in her room. He was holding her diary and laughing. He had found her key and opened her diary. He read her secrets out loud and made fun of her. Lily was very angry and sad. She ran to Max and tried to grab her diary. + +"Give it back! That's mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No way! This is funny! Listen to this!" Max said. He read more of her diary and laughed harder. + +Lily was so mad that she slapped Max on the face. Max was surprised and dropped the diary. Lily picked it up and ran away. Max rubbed his cheek and cried. + +"Mom! Lily slapped me!" Max yelled. + +Mom came to the room and saw what happened. She scolded Max for taking Lily's diary and hurting her feelings. She praised Lily for standing up for herself and her diary. She told them to apologize to each other and share their things nicely. She also gave Lily a hug and a sticker for her diary. Lily smiled and thanked Mom. She wrote in her diary that she loved Mom and hated Max. She hid her diary under her pillow again. She hoped Max would never find it again. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for dolls, a box for cars, a box for books, and a box for puzzles. She liked to put each toy in its right box after she played with it. She was very good at organizing. + +One day, Lily went to class with her mom. She was eager to learn new things and make new friends. She saw many toys in the class. She wanted to play with them. But she saw that the toys were not organized. They were all mixed up in one big pile. Lily felt sad. She wanted to organize the toys. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, can I organize the toys in the class?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lily. You have to ask the teacher first. And you have to share the toys with the other children. They may want to play with them too." + +Lily nodded. She went to the teacher and said, "Teacher, can I organize the toys in the class?" + +The teacher said, "That's very nice of you, Lily. But you have to wait until the end of the class. Now we have to do some activities together. And you have to let the other children choose what toys they want to play with. Maybe you can organize the toys with them later." + +Lily felt disappointed. She wanted to organize the toys now. She did not want to share them with the other children. She thought they would make a mess. She did not want to do the activities. She wanted to organize. + +She pouted and crossed her arms. She did not join the other children. She did not have fun. + +At the end of the class, the teacher said, "Now it's time to clean up. Who wants to help me organize the toys?" + +Lily raised her hand. She hoped the teacher would let her do it alone. But the teacher said, "Thank you, Lily. And thank you, Ben, and Mia, and Sam, and Zoe. You can all help me organize the toys. Let's work together as a team." + +Lily felt annoyed. She did not want to work with the other children. She thought they would not know how to organize the toys. She wanted to do it her way. + +But as she started to organize the toys with the other children, she realized something. The other children were not so bad. They had different ideas on how to organize the toys. They had different preferences on what toys they liked. They had different stories to tell about the toys. They were fun and friendly. They helped each other and complimented each other. They made organizing the toys more fun and easy. + +Lily felt happy. She learned that organizing the toys was not the most important thing. The most important thing was to share and cooperate with the other children. She made new friends and had fun. She thanked the teacher and the other children for helping her organize the toys. She said, "I'm sorry I was grumpy before. I was wrong. Organizing the toys is more fun with you. You are all very good at organizing." + +The teacher smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Lily. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. Organizing is good, but sharing and cooperating are better. You are a very good organizer and a very good friend." +Lily and Tom were busy in the garden. They had a big box of toys and a small teaspoon. They wanted to play a game of treasure hunt. + +"Let's bury some toys and find them later," said Lily. "It will be fun!" + +"OK," said Tom. "But we have to remember where we bury them." + +They took turns to dig holes with the teaspoon and hide some toys inside. They covered them with dirt and leaves. They made a map with sticks and stones to mark the spots. + +"Done!" said Lily. "Now we can go and have a snack and come back later." + +They ran inside and ate some cookies and milk. They were happy and excited. + +After a while, they went back to the garden. They looked at their map and started to dig with the teaspoon. They found a ball, a car, a doll and a book. They cheered and clapped. + +But then they came to the last spot. They dug and dug, but they could not find anything. + +"Where is it?" asked Tom. "We buried something here, I'm sure." + +"Maybe someone took it," said Lily. "Or maybe a dog or a bird." + +They felt sad and confused. They looked around and saw a big hole under the fence. They walked over and peeked through. + +They saw a squirrel holding their last toy, a shiny ring. It had dug it out and carried it to its nest. It was very proud of its treasure. + +"Hey, that's ours!" shouted Tom. "Give it back!" + +The squirrel looked at them and chattered. It did not want to share. It ran away with the ring. + +Lily and Tom sighed. They could not get their toy back. They decided to let the squirrel have it. + +"Maybe it likes it more than we do," said Lily. "It's just a ring, anyway. We have many other toys." + +They hugged and smiled. They went back to their box and picked another toy to bury. They hoped the squirrel would not find it. They had fun playing treasure hunt. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and walk to the hill. They go up and up and up. They are tired, but they are happy. They want to know what is on the other side of the hill. + +When they reach the top, they sit down and rest. They look around and see the sky, the trees, and the flowers. They see a big lake with ducks and fish. They see a small house with smoke and a dog. They see a lot of things they have never seen before. + +They are very quiet. They do not want to make noise and scare the animals. They whisper to each other. + +"Wow, this is so pretty," Sue says. + +"Yes, it is," Tom says. "Can we peek at the house?" + +"OK, but be careful," Sue says. "Maybe someone lives there." + +They get up and walk slowly to the house. They peek through the window. They see a man and a woman. They see a table with food and plates. They see a fire and a pot. They see a cat and a bird. + +They are very curious. They want to see more. But they are also very scared. They do not want to be seen by the people. + +They hear a noise. They turn around and see the dog. The dog sees them and barks. The dog runs to them and wags its tail. The dog wants to play with them. + +They are very surprised. They do not know what to do. They run away from the dog. They run back to the hill. They run down and down and down. They are fast, but the dog is faster. The dog follows them and barks. + +They reach their house. They close the door. They are safe. They are tired, but they are happy. They have seen a lot of things they have never seen before. + +They hug each other and laugh. + +"That was fun," Tom says. + +"Yes, it was," Sue says. "But next time, let's not peek at the house." +Ben and Mia liked to play in the pool. They had fun splashing and swimming. Sometimes they played a game of dive. They took turns to dive under the water and find a toy. They laughed when they saw each other's faces. + +One day, Mom said it was time for a snack. She brought them some fruit and crackers. Ben and Mia were hungry. They got out of the pool and ran to the table. They did not dry themselves or put on their towels. They grabbed the food and ate it fast. + +But they made a big mess. The water dripped from their hair and clothes. The fruit juice spilled on the table and the floor. The crackers crumbled and scattered. Mom was not happy. She said they had to clean up the mess. Ben and Mia did not want to. They said they wanted to play more. + +Mom said they could not play until they cleaned up. She said they had to be careful and respectful. She said they had to dry themselves and put on their towels before eating. She said they had to eat slowly and neatly. She said they had to throw away the trash and wipe the table and the floor. + +Ben and Mia felt sorry. They knew they had been rude and messy. They said they were sorry to Mom. They helped her clean up the mess. They dried themselves and put on their towels. They ate the rest of their snack slowly and neatly. They threw away the trash and wiped the table and the floor. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said she was proud of them. She said they had learned a good lesson. She said they could play again in the pool. Ben and Mia thanked her. They ran back to the pool. They played the game of dive. They had fun splashing and swimming. They were careful and respectful. They were happy. +Tom and Jen liked to play in the big park near their home. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb on the trees. One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big ball, red and shiny, with a hole in the middle. It looked like fun. + +"Let's go and see the ball!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be hot or sharp," Jen said. + +They ran to the ball and touched it. It was not hot or sharp. It was smooth and cool. They looked inside the hole. It was dark and empty. + +"Can we go inside?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's not safe," Jen said. + +But Tom was curious. He crawled inside the ball. Jen followed him. They felt like they were in a cave. They could not see anything. + +"Hello!" Tom shouted. + +"Hello!" Jen shouted. + +Their voices echoed in the ball. They laughed. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. The ball started to shake. They felt scared. + +"What's happening?" Jen asked. + +"I don't know. Let's get out!" Tom said. + +They tried to find the hole, but they could not. The ball was spinning and bouncing. They held each other and cried. + +The ball was not a ball. It was a rocket. It had been waiting for a long time to fly to the sky. It had a timer inside. When the timer reached zero, the rocket split in two. The top part flew away, leaving the bottom part behind. + +Tom and Jen felt a big push. They flew out of the hole. They landed on the grass. They were not hurt. They were surprised. + +They looked up and saw the rocket in the sky. It was bright and fast. It looked like a star. + +"Wow!" Tom said. + +"Wow!" Jen said. + +They smiled. They had had an adventure. They did not know that the rocket was harmless. It was not going to hurt anyone or anything. It was just going to explore the space. It was happy to be free. +Tom and Sue like to play with rubber toys. They have a rubber duck, a rubber ball, and a rubber snake. They take turns to throw, catch, and squeeze them. + +One day, they find a new rubber toy in the park. It is a rubber frog. It is green and shiny. Tom and Sue are very happy.

They do not share. + +Suddenly, the frog makes a loud noise. It is not a toy. It is a real frog. It is angry. It jumps out of their hands. It lands on Tom's head. Tom screams. Sue laughs. + +The frog hops away. It does not like to be pulled. It looks for a pond. It wants to be with other frogs. + +Tom and Sue are sorry. They should have been more modest. They should have asked the frog if it was a toy. They should have shared. + +They hug each other. They say sorry. They go back to their rubber toys. They play nicely. They have fun. +Lily and Tom like to draw with ink. They have many colors of ink. They have red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. They use brushes to make pictures on paper. + +One day, they want to draw a sun. They take the yellow ink and dip their brushes in it. They make a big circle on the paper. Then they make long lines around the circle. They are happy with their sun. + +But then, they feel something hot on their fingers. They look at the ink. The ink is hot! It is bubbling and steaming. They are scared. They drop their brushes and run away. + +"Mommy, mommy, come!" they shout. "The ink is hot! It is burning!" + +Mommy hears them and comes. She sees the hot ink on the table. She knows what happened. She had put the ink near the stove by mistake. The stove was on and made the ink hot. + +She turns off the stove and moves the ink away. She cools the ink with water. She checks Lily and Tom's fingers. They are not hurt. They are only red. + +She hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. I was careless. I should not have put the ink near the stove. Are you okay?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They are okay. They are glad mommy came. They say, "We love you, mommy. Thank you for helping us." + +Mommy smiles and says, "I love you too, my darlings. You are very brave. Next time, be careful with the ink. And always tell me when you want to draw." + +Lily and Tom agree. They hug mommy again. They decide to draw something else.

Tom says. + +"Bye, Tom. See you tomorrow. And do not worry. I will bring your pen back." Mia says. + +But Mia forgets. She leaves the pen on the table. She does not see it. She goes home with her paper. The next day, Tom looks for his pen. He does not find it. He is sad. He thinks Mia lost it. He goes to Mia's house. He knocks on the door. + +"Hi, Tom. What are you doing here?" Mia says. + +"Hi, Mia. I am looking for my pen. The blue and shiny one. Did you bring it back?" Tom says. + +"Oh, no. I am sorry, Tom. I forgot. I left it on the table.

The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the farm. They liked to run and jump and see the animals. They saw a big barrel near the barn. It was full of apples. + +"Let's borrow some apples," Tom said. "They look yummy." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to be quick. The farmer might see us." + +They took some apples from the barrel and ran to the hay. They found a hidden spot behind some bales. They ate the apples and smiled. + +"Wow, these are good apples," Lily said. "Do you want more?" + +"Yes, please," Tom said. "Let's go back to the barrel." + +They ran back to the barrel. But they did not see the farmer. He was hiding behind the barn. He saw them take more apples. + +"Hey, you two!" the farmer shouted. "What are you doing with my apples?" + +Lily and Tom dropped the apples and gasped. They were scared. They did not know what to say. + +"Sorry, sir," Tom said. "We just wanted to borrow some." + +"Borrow?" the farmer said. "You mean steal. You can't take what is not yours. That is wrong." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They looked at the farmer with sad eyes. + +"Please don't be mad, sir," Lily said. "We won't do it again. We are sorry." + +The farmer looked at them. He saw they were sorry. He sighed. + +"Well, I guess you learned your lesson," he said. "But you still have to pay for the apples. You can help me feed the animals and clean the barn.

Ben asks. + +Anna thinks. She likes her cell. But she likes Ben too. She is a good friend. + +"OK, Ben. You can play with my cell. But you have to lend it back to me later. It is mine," Anna says. + +Ben is happy. He takes the cell and makes sounds and shows pictures. He has fun. + +But then, Lily comes. Lily is nosy. She always wants to see what others have. She sees Ben with the cell. + +"Wow, what is that? Can I see?" Lily asks. + +Ben does not like Lily. She is not a good friend. She is rude and bossy. + +"No, Lily. This is Anna's cell. She lends it to me. You cannot see," Ben says. + +Lily is angry. She tries to grab the cell from Ben. Ben holds it tight. They pull and push. The cell falls on the ground. It breaks. It does not make sounds or show pictures anymore. + +Anna sees what happens. She is sad. She runs to the cell. She picks it up. She cries. + +"Ben, Lily, why did you break my cell? It was my new toy. I liked it. I was a good friend. I lent it to you, Ben. But you did not take care of it. And you, Lily, you are nosy. You should not touch what is not yours. You are not a good friend. You are mean," Anna says. + +Ben and Lily are sorry. They did not mean to break the cell. They say sorry to Anna. But Anna is still sad. She does not want to play with them anymore. She goes home with her broken cell. She hopes her mom can fix it. She hopes she can find better friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box. They pretended the box was a spaceship, a castle, a boat, or anything they wanted. + +One day, they decided to make the box a kitchen. They used crayons to draw a stove, a sink, a fridge, and some dishes on the box. They also found some pots, pans, spoons, and cups in their real kitchen and brought them to their box kitchen. + +"Let's cook something yummy," Lily said to Ben. "What do you want to eat?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked many things, but he loved pizza the most. "Pizza!" he said. "Can we make pizza?" + +Lily nodded. She also liked pizza. "Yes, we can make pizza. We need dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Do we have them?" + +Ben looked around. He saw some play-dough, some red paint, some cotton balls, and some buttons. He smiled. "We have them! Look, this is dough, this is sauce, this is cheese, and these are toppings. Let's make pizza!" + +They rolled the play-dough into a circle and put it on a pan. They spread the red paint over it and sprinkled the cotton balls and buttons on top. They put the pan on the stove and pretended to turn it on. + +"How long do we have to wait?" Ben asked. + +Lily looked at the stove. She saw a clock that she had drawn with a crayon. She pointed to it. "See, the clock says five minutes. We have to wait five minutes." + +Ben nodded. He was hungry, but he could wait. He looked at Lily and smiled. "You are a good cook, Lily. And you are a good sister. You are reliable." + +Lily smiled back. She felt happy. She liked to cook, and she liked to play with Ben. He was a good helper, and a good brother. He was reliable too. "Thank you, Ben. You are reliable too. And you are fun. Do you want to skip with me while we wait?" + +Ben nodded. He liked to skip. He took Lily's hand and they skipped around the box kitchen. They sang a song and laughed. They were having a good time. + +Soon, the clock said zero. The pizza was ready. They took it out of the stove and cut it into slices. They put the slices on plates and sat down to eat. They pretended to bite and chew and swallow. They said "Mmm, this is delicious!" and "This is the best pizza ever!" They were very proud of their pizza. + +They finished their pizza and cleaned up their box kitchen. They put their pots, pans, spoons, and cups back in the real kitchen. They thanked their mom for letting them use them. They hugged their mom and each other. They were happy and full. They had a good day. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big river. It was blue and shiny. They wanted to go near it. + +"Look, Lily, the river is so pretty!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is. But we have to be careful. Mommy said the river is deep and fast. We can't go in it," Lily said. + +They walked along the river. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They were happy. They threw stones and sticks in the water. They made splashes and noises. + +"Let's go closer, Lily. I want to touch the water," Tom said. + +"No, Tom, we can't. It's too dangerous. The river can take us away. We have to stop," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the edge of the river. He reached out his hand. He slipped and fell. He screamed. + +"Tom, Tom, help!" Lily shouted. + +She ran to him. She tried to grab him. But the river was too strong. It pulled Tom away. Lily could not catch him. She cried and cried. + +"Tom, Tom, come back!" Lily said. + +But Tom did not come back. He was gone. Lily was alone. She was sad. She wished she could stop the river. She wished she could see Tom again. She wished they never played near the river. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big bean in a pot. It was green and shiny and had a red spot on it. + +"Wow, look at this bean!" Tom said. "Maybe it is magic!" + +Lily laughed. "Don't be silly, Tom. Beans are not magic. They are just food." + +Tom shook his head. "No, Lily. I believe this bean is special. Maybe it can take us to a fairy land!" + +Lily rolled her eyes. "How can a bean take us anywhere? It is just a bean, Tom. Come on, let's go and play with the ball." + +Tom did not want to play with the ball. He wanted to see what the bean could do. He put it in his pocket and ran to the shed. He found a ladder and climbed up to the roof. He planted the bean in a small hole and waited. + +Soon, the bean started to grow. It grew and grew and grew, until it reached the sky. Tom was amazed. He saw a big cloud and a rainbow. He heard a noisy sound, like a trumpet. + +"Hello, hello!" a voice said. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" + +Tom looked around and saw a giant. He was very big and had a long beard and a crown. He was holding a trumpet and a bag. + +Tom was scared. He wanted to run away, but he could not. He was on the beanstalk, high in the sky. + +"Hello, Mr. Giant," Tom said. "I am Tom and I came here with a magic bean." + +The giant frowned. "A magic bean? I don't like magic beans. They are trouble. They bring thieves and robbers. Like that boy, Jack. He stole my gold and my hen and my harp. He was very naughty and rude." + +Tom gulped. He did not want to be like Jack. He did not want to steal anything. He just wanted to see the fairy land. + +"Please, Mr. Giant, I am not a thief or a robber. I just wanted to have some fun. I believe in magic and fairy tales. Can you show me your fairy land?" + +The giant looked at Tom and smiled. He was not so angry anymore. He liked Tom's honesty and curiosity. + +"Alright, Tom. I will show you my fairy land. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not take anything from me. And you have to promise me that you will go back to your home when I tell you to. Do you promise?" + +Tom nodded. He was happy and excited. He promised the giant that he would not take anything and that he would go back when he said. + +"Good, Tom. Then follow me. I will show you my fairy land. It is very beautiful and wonderful. You will see many things that you have never seen before. But remember, you have to listen to me and do as I say. Or else, you will be in big trouble." + +Tom agreed. He followed the giant to his fairy land. He saw many things that he had never seen before. He saw flowers and trees and animals and stars and castles and fairies. He had a lot of fun. He forgot about Lily and the ball and the garden. He only thought about the magic bean and the fairy land. He did not know that Lily was looking for him. She was worried and angry. She wanted to find Tom and tell him to come back. She did not believe in magic beans or fairy lands. She only believed in reality. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look at our snowman!" Lily said. "He is so nice and friendly." + +"Yes, he is," Ben said. "But he is also very cold. He might freeze if we leave him here." + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They wanted to help their snowman. They looked around and saw a stable nearby. There were some horses and cows inside. They had a warm and cozy place to sleep. + +"Let's take our snowman to the stable," Lily said. "He can stay with the animals. They will keep him warm." + +"Good idea," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The animals might not like our snowman. He is not like them. He is not ordinary." + +Lily and Ben carried their snowman to the stable. They put him in a corner and covered him with some hay. They hoped the animals would not mind. + +But the animals did mind. They were curious and scared of the snowman. They did not know what he was. They sniffed him and nudged him. They made loud noises and moved closer. + +"Go away!" Lily and Ben shouted. "Leave our snowman alone! He is our friend!" + +But the animals did not listen. They pushed and kicked the snowman. They broke his hat and his scarf. They ate his carrot nose and his buttons. They made him fall apart. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They ran to their snowman and tried to fix him. But it was too late. He was gone. + +"Why did you do that?" Lily and Ben cried. "You are mean and rude! You ruined our snowman!" + +The animals looked at Lily and Ben. They felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to hurt their snowman. They were just curious and scared. They did not understand. + +"We are sorry," the animals said. "We did not know he was your friend. We did not know he was special. We thought he was ordinary." + +Lily and Ben looked at the animals. They saw their sorry and ashamed faces. They felt sorry and ashamed too. They did not mean to yell at them. They were just sad and angry. They did not understand. + +"It's okay," Lily and Ben said. "We forgive you. We know you did not mean it. We know you are special too. You are not ordinary." + +Lily and Ben hugged the animals. The animals hugged them back. They became friends. They learned a lesson. + +They learned that everyone is special and different. They learned that they should not judge by looks. They learned that they should be kind and respectful. They learned that they should try to understand. +Ben and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were smooth and some were bumpy. + +"Look, Lily, I found a jolly shell!" Ben said, holding up a shiny shell that had a smiley face on it. "It looks like it is happy to see us!" + +"That's a nice shell, Ben. Can I see it?" Lily asked, reaching out her hand. + +"Sure, here you go. Be careful, it is very pretty and fragile." Ben said, giving the shell to Lily. + +Lily took the shell and looked at it closely. She saw the smiley face and the sparkles on it. She smiled back at the shell and said, "Hello, jolly shell. You are very pretty and friendly. Thank you for letting me see you." + +She gave the shell back to Ben and said, "You can keep it, Ben. It is a special shell for you." + +Ben was happy and thanked Lily. He put the shell in his pocket and said, "Let's go find more shells, Lily. Maybe we can find some more jolly ones." + +They ran along the beach, looking for more shells. They stretched their arms and legs and felt the sun and the wind on their skin. They had a lot of fun and found many more shells. They made a pile of shells and showed them to their mom and dad. They were proud of their shells and their jolly shell was the most special one. +Tom and Mia love to swim in the pool. They have fun splashing and kicking the water. They wear floaties on their arms to stay safe. + +One day, Tom sees a big slide near the pool. He wants to try it. He says to Mia, "Let's go on the slide. It looks fun." + +Mia shakes her head. She says, "No, Tom. The slide is too high. It is dangerous. We are too small. Mommy said we can't go on the slide." + +Tom does not listen. He says, "I don't care. I want to go on the slide. You are a scaredy-cat." He takes off his floaties and runs to the slide. + +Mia is worried. She follows Tom and says, "Tom, stop. Please don't go on the slide. You will get hurt. You need your floaties." + +Tom ignores Mia. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. He says, "Watch me, Mia. I am brave." He pushes himself down the slide. + +Mia screams. She sees Tom go too fast and fly off the slide. He lands in the deep end of the pool. He does not know how to swim without his floaties. He sinks and bubbles. + +Mia runs to the pool and jumps in. She grabs Tom and pulls him to the edge. She cries, "Tom, Tom, are you okay?" + +Tom coughs and spits water. He is scared and sorry. He says, "Mia, thank you. You saved me. You are brave. I am sorry. I was silly. I should have listened to you and Mommy. The slide was dangerous. I love you, Mia." + +Mia hugs Tom. She says, "I love you too, Tom. I am glad you are okay. Let's never go on the slide again. Let's swim with our floaties and have fun." +Sam and Lily liked to play on the lawn. The lawn was big and green and soft. They could run and jump and roll on the lawn. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, their mom said, "You can play on the lawn, but do not go near the road. The road is dangerous. Cars and trucks go very fast on the road. They can hurt you. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will not go near the road. We will stay on the lawn." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Good. Be careful and have fun. I will be inside if you need me." She went inside the house. + +Sam and Lily played on the lawn. They chased each other and threw a ball and picked some flowers. They were happy. + +But then, Sam saw something shiny on the other side of the road. He said, "Look, Lily. What is that? It looks cool. I want to see it." + +Lily said, "No, Sam. Mom said we cannot go near the road. It is dangerous. We have to stay on the lawn. Come on, let's play something else." + +Sam said, "No, Lily. I want to see the shiny thing. It is not far. I can run and come back quickly. Mom will not know. Come with me." + +Lily said, "No, Sam. I will not go with you. You are being bad. You are not listening to mom. You are not allowed to go near the road. I will tell mom if you go." + +Sam said, "I don't care. You are being boring. You are not fun. I will go by myself. You stay here." He ran towards the road. + +Lily shouted, "Sam, stop! Come back! It is not safe!" But Sam did not listen. He did not look. He did not see the big truck coming. He did not hear the horn. He did not feel the pain. + +Lily saw the truck hit Sam. She saw Sam fly in the air. She saw Sam fall on the ground. She saw Sam not move. She saw blood. She screamed. + +Mom heard the scream. She ran outside. She saw Sam. She saw Lily. She saw the truck. She saw the driver. She saw the tears. She felt the shock. She felt the grief. She felt the guilt. + +She wished she had not allowed Sam and Lily to play on the lawn. She wished she had stayed with them. She wished she had saved Sam. She wished she had said, "I love you." She wished she could turn back time. But she could not. It was too late. Sam was gone. +Lily wanted to be a fairy for the party. She saw a pretty costume in the shop. It had wings and a wand and a dress with sparkles. Lily asked her mom if she could buy it. + +"Sorry, Lily, we don't have enough money for that costume. It is too expensive," mom said. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to look like a fairy and have fun. She saw a girl in the shop who had the same costume. The girl was not looking. Lily had an idea. She decided to borrow the costume from the girl. She thought it was harmless. She took the costume and ran out of the shop. + +"Hey, that's my costume!" the girl shouted. She followed Lily and tried to get it back. + +Lily ran faster. She did not want to give the costume back. She thought it was hers now. She ran into the park and hid behind a tree. She put on the costume and felt happy. She looked like a fairy. + +But the girl did not give up. She found Lily behind the tree. She was angry and scared. She wanted her costume back. + +"Give me my costume! You stole it from me! That's not nice!" the girl said. + +Lily felt bad. She realized she did something wrong. She did not borrow the costume. She stole it. She hurt the girl's feelings. She took off the costume and gave it back to the girl. + +"I'm sorry. I wanted to be a fairy too. I did not mean to make you sad. Can we be friends?" Lily said. + +The girl looked at Lily. She saw that Lily was sorry. She felt sorry for Lily too. She knew how it felt to want something. She had an idea. She decided to share the costume with Lily. + +"Okay. I forgive you. You can be a fairy with me. We can take turns with the costume. Do you want to play with me?" the girl said. + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She made a new friend. She said yes. They played together in the park. They pretended to be fairies. They had fun. They learned to share and be kind. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big crystal that sparkled in the sun. It was very pretty and smooth. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said, holding the crystal. "It's like a magic stone!" + +"Can I see?" Lily asked, reaching for the crystal. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said, pulling it away. "I found it first!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the crystal too. She tried to grab it from Tom, but he was stronger. They started to fight over the crystal. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, coming out of the house. She heard them shouting and saw them pulling the crystal. "What are you doing?" + +"Mom, look what we found!" Tom said, showing her the crystal. "It's so cool!" + +"Mom, he won't let me see it!" Lily said, crying. "It's not fair!" + +Their mom looked at the crystal. She recognized it from a book she had read. It was not a magic stone. It was a dangerous stone. It could explode if it got too hot or hit too hard. + +"Kids, drop the crystal right now!" their mom said, in a scared voice. "It's not safe!" + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They did not understand. They thought their mom wanted the crystal for herself. They held on to the crystal tighter and fought harder. + +Suddenly, there was a loud bang. The crystal broke into pieces. The pieces flew everywhere. They hit Tom and Lily and their mom. They hurt them a lot. They made them bleed. They made them scream. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to play with the blocks the most. They can make houses, cars, animals and anything they want with the blocks. + +"Look, Sara, I made a big tower!" Ben says, showing his blocks to his sister. "It is taller than the table!" + +"Wow, Ben, that is very good!" Sara says. "But can you make it taller than the lamp?" + +Ben tries to add more blocks to his tower, but it is too hard. The blocks fall down and make a loud noise. Sara and Ben laugh. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and have a snack," Sara says. "I am hungry." + +"Me too," Ben says. "Maybe Mom has some cookies for us." + +They go to the kitchen and see Mom. She is making a cake. The cake is white and smells good. + +"Hi, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "Can we have some cookies?" + +"Sure, my loves," Mom says. "But first, wash your hands. They are dirty from the blocks." + +Sara and Ben wash their hands in the sink. Then they sit at the table and eat some cookies. Mom gives them some milk too. + +"Thank you, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "The cookies are yummy." + +"You're welcome, my loves," Mom says. "Do you want to help me decorate the cake?" + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben say. They love to help Mom in the kitchen. + +They go to the counter and see many colorful sprinkles. Mom lets them put some sprinkles on the white cake. They make a rainbow on the cake. + +"Look, Mom, we made a beautiful cake!" Sara and Ben say. + +"Yes, you did," Mom says. "You are very good helpers. I am proud of you." + +Sara and Ben hug Mom. They are happy. They love to play with the blocks, but they love to be with Mom more. +Lily and Max were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a creek with clear water and many rocks. They decided to have a race to see who could jump over the rocks faster. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and they both ran to the creek. Lily was very organized and looked for the best rocks to jump on. Max was not organized and just jumped on any rock he saw. Sometimes he slipped and got wet. + +Lily reached the other side of the creek first and cheered. "I won, I won!" she said. Max was still jumping on the rocks, but he was not happy. He wanted to win too. + +He saw a big rock that looked like a good place to jump. He ran towards it and jumped with all his might. But the rock was not solid, it was soft and muddy. Max sank into the mud and got very dirty. He cried out loud. + +Lily heard him and ran back to the creek. She saw Max in the mud and felt sorry for him. She helped him get out and gave him a hug. "It's okay, Max. It's just a game. You don't have to be sad," she said. + +Max wiped his tears and smiled. "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was not organized. I should have looked for the best rocks like you," he said. + +Lily and Max walked back to their houses, holding hands. They learned that being organized can help them do things better and faster. They also learned that being friends is more important than winning. They decided to play again tomorrow, but this time they would dance by the creek instead of racing. They thought dancing would be more fun and less messy. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park with their dog Max. They liked to run and chase and throw the ball for Max. Max was a good dog and he always came back when they called him. + +But one day, a big car came very fast and loud on the road near the park. Max saw a cat and ran after it. He did not hear Sam and Lily calling him. He did not see the car. The car did not see him. + +"Max, stop!" Sam shouted. "Come back!" + +Lily was very worried. She saw the car and Max. She was scared. She ran to the road and tried to get Max. But the car was too fast and too close. + +"Look out!" the driver yelled. He tried to stop the car, but it was too late. He hit Max and Lily. + +Sam saw everything. He was very sad and angry. He ran to Max and Lily. He saw blood and fur and tears. He hugged them and tried to protect them. He cried for help. + +"Help! Help! Emergency!" he screamed. + +Some people heard him and came to see. They saw the car and Max and Lily. They were shocked and sorry. They called the police and the ambulance. They tried to help Sam and comfort him. + +"It's okay, Sam. You're brave. You did your best to protect them. They will be okay. The police and the ambulance are coming. They will take them to the hospital. They will make them better." one of the people said. + +Sam nodded. He hoped they were right. He hoped Max and Lily would be okay. He loved them very much. He did not want to lose them. He prayed for them. He waited for the police and the ambulance. He was very worried. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with toy guns and caps. They pretend to be cowboys and robbers. One day, they find a big box of caps in the garage. They are very happy. + +"Look, Ben, we have so many caps! We can play for a long time!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, we are lucky! Let's go to the park and shoot our guns!" Ben says. + +They run to the park with their toy guns and caps. They see a big tree. They decide to hide behind the tree and shoot at each other. + +"Bang, bang, bang! I got you, Tom!" Ben shouts. + +"No, you didn't, Ben! I dodged your bullets!" Tom shouts back. + +They laugh and shoot more caps. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is not a cap. It is a real gun. A man with a mask and a bag is running from the bank. He has robbed the bank. He sees Tom and Ben behind the tree. He thinks they are witnesses. He points his gun at them. + +"Shut up, kids, or I'll shoot you!" the man yells. + +Tom and Ben are scared. They drop their toy guns and caps. They don't know what to do. + +But then, a police car arrives. The police see the man with the gun and the bag. They chase him. They shoot at him. They catch him. + +"Are you okay, kids?" a police officer asks Tom and Ben. + +"Yes, sir, we are okay. Thank you for saving us!" Tom and Ben say. + +The police officer smiles. He gives them a hug. He takes them to their parents. + +"You are very brave, kids. And very lucky. You could have been hurt by the bad man. But you are safe now. Don't play with toy guns and caps anymore. They are dangerous. Play with something else. Like a ball or a kite." the police officer says. + +Tom and Ben nod. They agree. They don't want to play with toy guns and caps anymore. They want to play with a ball or a kite. They are happy. They are lucky. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard that gave them shade when it was hot. They also had a swing that hung from a branch of the tree. They took turns to push each other on the swing and have fun. + +One day, a big storm came and made the sky gloomy. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. Sara and Ben had to go inside and wait for the storm to stop. They looked out of the window and saw the tree sway and shake. They hoped the tree would be okay. + +But then, they heard a loud crack and saw the branch with the swing split from the tree. It fell to the ground with a thud. The swing was broken and the tree had a big gap. Sara and Ben felt sad and scared. They hugged each other and cried. + +The next day, the sun came out and the storm was gone. Sara and Ben went outside and saw the tree. It was still standing, but it looked different. It had less shade and more light. They saw some birds and squirrels on the tree. They heard them chirp and chatter. + +Sara and Ben decided to make a new swing with their dad. They found a strong rope and a wooden plank. They tied the rope to another branch and attached the plank to the rope. They tested the swing and it worked. They smiled and laughed. + +They realized that the tree was still their friend, even though it had changed. They thanked the tree for giving them shade and fun. They also thanked the storm for giving them a new swing and a new adventure. They learned that sometimes things split, but they can also mend. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a jet. Jen has a ring. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Tom and Jen go to the park. They see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. They take their toys with them. + +They climb the hill. It is hard. They are tired. But they are happy. They reach the top. They see a pond. They see ducks. They see flowers. They see a dead bird. + +"Look, a dead bird!" Tom says. He points to the bird. It is brown and has feathers. It does not move. It does not sing. + +"Can I see?" Jen says. She walks to the bird. She wants to touch it. She is curious. + +"No, don't touch it!" Tom says. He runs to Jen. He grabs her hand. He pulls her away. "It is dead. It is bad. It can make you sick." + +"But I want to see!" Jen says. She is angry. She pulls her hand back. She pushes Tom. "You are mean. You don't share. You only want your jet." + +Tom is angry too. He pushes Jen back. "You are silly. You don't listen. You only want your ring." + +They fight. They shout. They cry. They forget their toys. They forget their fun. They forget their friendship. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was hiding behind a big cloth that hung from a tree. She was very quiet and hoped Ben would not find her. Ben was looking everywhere for Lily. He checked under the table, behind the bushes, and in the shed. He could not see Lily anywhere. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Ben shouted. "I give up!" + +Lily giggled and decided to reveal herself. She pulled the cloth away and said, "Here I am, Ben! You could not find me!" + +But Ben was not happy to see Lily. He was angry and sad. He saw that the cloth was his mom's favorite tablecloth. It had flowers and birds on it. Ben's mom loved the tablecloth very much. She used it for special days and told Ben to be careful with it. + +"Look what you did, Lily!" Ben cried. "You ruined the tablecloth! Mom will be so mad at us! How could you be so mean?" + +Lily was shocked and scared. She did not know the cloth was important. She thought it was just a fun thing to hide behind. She did not mean to ruin it. She saw that the cloth had holes and stains on it. She felt very sorry and wanted to say sorry to Ben and his mom. + +"Ben, I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't mean to..." Lily said in a gentle voice. + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran away from her and went to the house. He told his mom what Lily did. His mom was very upset and angry. She came to the garden and saw the cloth. She scolded Lily and told her to go home. She said she did not want Lily to play with Ben anymore. + +Lily was very sad and hurt. She ran to her home and cried. She lost her friend and made his mom hate her. She wished she never played hide and seek with the cloth. She wished she could make things right. But it was too late. The cloth was ruined and so was their friendship. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with Mom. There is a big wall in the park. It has many pictures on it. + +"Look, Kim, a bird!" Tim says. He points to a picture of a blue bird on the wall. + +"Wow, it is pretty!" Kim says. She likes the bird too. + +They run to the wall and touch the picture. The bird looks happy. It has a big smile. + +"Hello, bird!" Tim says. He waves to the picture. + +"Hello, bird!" Kim says. She waves too. + +But the bird does not say anything. It does not move. It is not a real bird. It is only a picture. + +Tim and Kim are sad. They want to talk to the bird. + +"Maybe it is shy," Tim says. + +"Maybe it is nervous," Kim says. + +They try to make the bird feel better. They sing a song to the bird. They dance for the bird. They make funny faces to the bird. + +But the bird still does not say anything. It still does not move. + +Tim and Kim are tired. They sit on the ground. They look at the wall. + +"Maybe the bird is sleeping," Tim says. + +"Maybe it is dreaming," Kim says. + +They close their eyes and pretend to sleep too. They dream of flying with the bird. They dream of seeing other pictures on the wall. They dream of having fun. + +Mom comes to get them. She sees them sleeping on the ground. She smiles. + +"Time to go home, Tim and Kim," she says. She wakes them up. + +They open their eyes and see Mom. They hug her. + +"Did you have fun?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom, we did," Tim and Kim say. + +They look at the wall one more time. They see the bird. The bird is still smiling. + +"Bye, bird!" Tim and Kim say. They wave to the picture. + +The bird does not say anything. It does not move. But it seems to wink at them. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. One day, they were playing in the park, and Tom said he would count to ten while Lily hid. Lily ran to a big tree and hid behind it. She was very good at hiding, and she wanted to surprise Tom. + +But Tom did not come to find her. Lily waited and waited, but she did not hear his voice or his footsteps. She started to feel worry in her tummy. Where was Tom? Did he forget her? Did he go home without her? Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not like to be alone. + +She decided to peek from behind the tree and look for Tom. Maybe he was hiding too, or maybe he was looking for her somewhere else. She poked her head out and looked around. The park was very big and very gloomy. The sky was gray and the wind was cold. She did not see Tom or any other people. She only saw some birds and some squirrels. + +Lily felt more worry and more tears. She wanted to go home. She wanted to see her mom and dad. She wanted to hug Tom and tell him she was sorry for hiding too well. She did not want to play hide and seek anymore. She was scared. + +She cried out loud, "Tom! Tom! Where are you? I want to go home!" She hoped Tom would hear her and come to her. She did not know what to do. + +Then, she heard a familiar voice. "Lily! Lily! I'm here! I'm sorry!" It was Tom. He came running from the other side of the park. He had been looking for her too, but he had gone the wrong way. He had heard her cry and followed her voice. He was sorry for making her worry. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You're the best sister ever. Let's go home." + +Lily felt happy and relieved. She hugged Tom back and said, "I love you too, Tom. You're the best brother ever. Let's go home." They held hands and walked to their mom and dad, who were waiting for them at the gate. They told them what happened and said they were sorry. Their mom and dad said they were glad they were safe and they loved them very much. They went home and had some hot chocolate and cookies. They did not play hide and seek again that day. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek with their family. It was Lily's turn to seek, and she had to count to ten. She closed her eyes and said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" + +She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw a big box in the corner of the room. She thought, maybe someone is hiding in there. She walked to the box and lifted the lid. She saw her dad, smiling at her. He said, "You found me, Lily! Good job!" + +Lily giggled and said, "Dad, you are too big for the box! You fill it up!" She gave him a hug and said, "I love you, dad!" + +Her dad hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily! Now, let's find the others. Do you have any idea where they are?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Maybe mom is hiding in the closet. And maybe Ben is hiding under the bed. Let's go and see!" + +They left the box and went to the bedroom. They opened the closet and saw mom, holding a teddy bear. She said, "Oh, you found me, Lily and dad! You are very smart!" + +They hugged mom and said, "We love you, mom!" + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and dad! Now, where is Ben? He is very good at hiding!" + +They looked under the bed and saw Ben, holding a pillow. He said, "You found me, Lily, mom and dad! You are very fast!" + +They hugged Ben and said, "We love you, Ben!" + +Ben said, "I love you too, Lily, mom and dad! You are very fun!" + +They all smiled and said, "We are a happy family!" + +They decided to play another round of hide and seek. They had a lot of fun, finding hidden places and filling them with love. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and make music. They have a drum, a guitar, a flute and a xylophone. They spend a lot of time making loud noises and singing songs. + +One day, their mom says, "Lily and Max, it is time to go to the park. Put on your shoes and coats and get ready." Lily and Max are happy. They love the park. They have a swing, a slide, a sandbox and a seesaw. They run to get their shoes and coats. + +But then, Max has an idea. He says, "Lily, let's take our music toys to the park. We can play music for the other kids and make them happy." Lily thinks that is a good idea. She says, "Yes, Max, let's do that. We can be a band." + +They grab their music toys and put them in a big bag. They carry the bag to the door. But the bag is very heavy. It is tough to lift. Lily and Max have to use both hands. They can't open the door. + +They call their mom. They say, "Mom, can you help us? We want to take our music toys to the park. But the bag is too heavy. We can't open the door." + +Their mom comes and sees the bag. She says, "Lily and Max, you can't take all your music toys to the park. They are too big and too loud. You will bother the other kids and the birds and the squirrels. You can only take one music toy each. Choose one and leave the rest at home." + +Lily and Max are sad. They like all their music toys. They don't want to leave any behind. They have to think hard. They have to choose. They look at their drum, their guitar, their flute and their xylophone. Which one will they take? +Tommy loved to grow things in his garden. He had a little shovel and a little bucket and some seeds. He dug holes in the dirt and put the seeds in. Then he watered them with his hose. He liked to watch the seeds grow into flowers and vegetables. + +One day, Tommy saw something new in his garden. It was a big green plant with a long stem and a round top. It looked like a giant ball. Tommy was curious. He touched the plant and it felt soft and fuzzy. He smelled it and it smelled sweet and yummy. He wondered what it was. + +He ran inside and asked his mom. She looked out the window and smiled. She said, "That's a pumpkin, Tommy. You grew a pumpkin in your garden. That's very good. Pumpkins are a treat. You can make pie and soup and bread with them. And you can carve them for Halloween and make them look jolly." + +Tommy was happy. He had grown a treat and a jolly thing. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. Can we make pie and soup and bread and carve the pumpkin today?" His mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's wash your hands. You have dirt on them from the garden." Tommy nodded and ran to the sink. He was excited to enjoy his pumpkin. He thought growing things was fun. +Tom and Amy were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had a big box of sugar that they used to make cakes and cookies. One day, they decided to make a sugar castle with the sugar and some water. + +Tom was very bossy. He told Amy what to do and how to make the castle. He said, "Amy, you have to put more sugar here. And make the walls thicker. And don't touch my tower. It's mine." + +Amy was not happy. She wanted to make her own tower and decorate it with candy. She said, "Tom, you are not the boss of me. I can make my tower how I like. And I want to use some of the candy. It's not fair that you take it all." + +Tom and Amy started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They threw sugar and water at each other. They knocked down the castle and made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the twins and the sugar everywhere. She was very angry. She said, "Tom and Amy, what are you doing? You have wasted all the sugar and made a huge mess. You have to clean it up right now. And no more sugar for you today." + +Tom and Amy felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were trying to make a sugar castle, but we had a fight. We won't do it again." + +Mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but you have to learn to share and play nicely. Sugar is not a toy. It's for eating. And you have to listen to me, not be bossy to each other. Now, I urge you to clean up the kitchen and then go to your room. Maybe you can make a paper castle instead." +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooking. They had pots and pans and spoons and plates. They also had some salt and pepper shakers that looked like real ones. + +"Let's make soup!" said Tom. He filled a pot with water and put it on the stove. He added some salt and pepper and stirred with a spoon. "Mmm, smells good!" + +Lily wanted to taste the soup. She took a spoon and dipped it in the pot. She put it in her mouth and made a face. "Yuck! Too spicy!" she said. She looked at the pepper shaker and saw that it was empty. "Tom, you used all the pepper!" + +Tom looked at the pepper shaker and saw that Lily was right. He felt bad. He wanted to make good soup for Lily. He looked around the kitchen and saw a jar of jam. He had an idea. "I know! I can replace the pepper with jam! Jam is sweet and yummy!" + +He opened the jar and poured some jam into the pepper shaker. He shook it over the pot and stirred with a spoon. He smiled and said, "There! Now the soup is perfect!" + +Lily was curious. She took another spoon and dipped it in the pot. She put it in her mouth and made another face. "Blech! Too sweet!" she said. She looked at the jam and saw that it was red. "Tom, you used jam instead of pepper!" + +Tom looked at the jam and saw that Lily was right. He felt worse. He wanted to make perfect soup for Lily. He looked around the kitchen and saw a bottle of ketchup. He had another idea. "I know! I can replace the jam with ketchup! Ketchup is red and tangy!" + +He opened the bottle and poured some ketchup into the jam jar. He shook it over the pot and stirred with a spoon. He grinned and said, "There! Now the soup is really perfect!" + +Lily was doubtful. She took a third spoon and dipped it in the pot. She put it in her mouth and made the worst face. "Gross! Too sour!" she said. She looked at the ketchup and saw that it was also red. "Tom, you used ketchup instead of jam!" + +Tom looked at the ketchup and saw that Lily was right. He felt terrible. He wanted to make really perfect soup for Lily. He looked around the kitchen and saw nothing else. He had no more ideas. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I tried to make good soup for you, but I messed up. I don't know how to replace the pepper." + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sad. She felt sorry for him. She said, "It's okay, Tom. You don't have to replace the pepper. You can just use less of it. Or we can try something else. How about we make a salad?" + +Tom looked at Lily and saw that she was nice. He felt happy. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's make a salad. That sounds good. And maybe we can use some pepper on it. But not too much." + +They smiled and hugged. They put away the pots and pans and spoons and plates. They also put away the salt and pepper and jam and ketchup. They took out some lettuce and tomatoes and cheese and dressing. They washed and chopped and tossed and mixed. They made a salad. And they used some pepper on it. But not too much. And it was delicious. And they ate it all. And they were happy. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big ball of wool in a box. They think it is fun to make things with the wool. + +They make a hat, a scarf, a blanket and a doll. They are happy with their wool things. But then, they see a problem. The wool is almost gone. They want to make more things, but they do not have enough wool. + +They think hard. How can they solve this problem? They look around. They see a cat. The cat is sleeping on the sofa. The cat has a lot of fur. The fur looks like wool. + +They have an idea. They go to the cat. They try to take some fur from the cat. But the cat does not like that. The cat wakes up. The cat is angry. The cat hisses and scratches. Anna and Ben run away. + +They learn a lesson. They cannot take things from others without asking. They say sorry to the cat. They give the cat some of their wool things. The cat likes the wool things. The cat is graceful. The cat forgives them. + +Anna and Ben are friends again. They play with the cat and the wool things. They are happy. They have solved their problem. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with their moms. The lake is big and blue. There are ducks and fish in the lake. + +Anna and Ben have a ball. They throw the ball to each other. They have fun. But then, Ben sees a boat. He wants to go on the boat. He runs to the boat. He says to Anna, "Come with me!" + +Anna does not want to go on the boat. She is scared of the boat. She likes the ball. She says to Ben, "No, thank you. I want to play with the ball." + +Ben does not listen to Anna. He ignores her. He gets on the boat. He says to Anna, "Bye-bye!" + +Anna is sad. She is alone. She has the ball, but no one to play with. She looks at the lake. The lake is quiet. She hears the ducks and the fish. She wishes Ben was with her. + +Then, she sees another girl. The girl is near the lake. She has a bucket and a shovel. She is making a sand castle. She smiles at Anna. She says, "Hi! Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna smiles back. She says, "Yes, please. I want to play with you." She runs to the girl. She gives her the ball. She says, "I am Anna. What is your name?" + +The girl says, "I am Lily. Nice to meet you, Anna." They play with the ball, the bucket and the shovel. They make a big sand castle. They have fun. + +Anna and Lily are friends. They do not ignore each other. They share and take turns. They are happy. They like the lake. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they found a bird's nest on a branch. The nest had four blue eggs inside. + +"Look, Ben, baby birds!" Anna said, pointing at the nest. + +"Can we touch them?" Ben asked, reaching his hand. + +"No, Ben, we can't. Mama bird will be sad if we do. She worked hard to make the nest and keep the eggs warm. We have to be kind and leave them alone," Anna said, pulling Ben back. + +"Okay, Anna, you are right. Let's go play with our ball instead," Ben said, nodding. + +They ran to get their ball and played until it was time for dinner. They ate their soup and bread and drank their milk. Then they brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. Mama and Papa gave them a hug and a kiss and tucked them in their beds. + +"Good night, Anna and Ben. Sleep well and have sweet dreams," Mama said. + +"Good night, Mama and Papa. We love you," Anna and Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and lay in their beds. They listened to the crickets and the wind. They felt cozy and happy. They did not know that something beautiful was going to happen that night. + +The next morning, they woke up to a loud chirping sound. They jumped out of their beds and ran to the window. They saw the bird's nest on the branch. But instead of four blue eggs, they saw four baby birds with yellow feathers and black eyes. They were opening their mouths and calling for their mama. + +"Wow, Anna, look! The baby birds are here! They hatched last night!" Ben said, clapping his hands. + +"They are so cute, Ben! And they are hungry. I hope mama bird comes soon to feed them," Anna said, smiling. + +They watched the baby birds for a while, then they got dressed and went downstairs. They told Mama and Papa what they saw. Mama and Papa were proud of them for being kind and respectful to the bird's nest. + +"You see, Anna and Ben, sometimes being patient and gentle can bring you wonderful surprises. You helped the baby birds to be born by leaving them alone. And now you can enjoy their beauty and their songs," Mama said. + +"Yes, Mama, we understand. We are happy we did the right thing. And we are happy we have each other," Anna and Ben said. + +They hugged Mama and Papa and ate their breakfast. Then they went outside to play and to watch the baby birds grow. They learned that night was a special time when magic could happen. And they learned that being kind and caring was the most beautiful thing of all. +Lily liked to print with her crayons. She had many colors and papers. She printed flowers and stars and hearts. She gave some to her mom and dad. They smiled and said thank you. + +One day, Lily saw a big truck outside. It had many logs of lumber. They were brown and long and heavy. Lily wondered what they were for. She asked her mom. Her mom said they were for building a new house next door. + +Lily wanted to see the new house. She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes, but be careful. The lumber was not for playing. It was for working. Lily said okay and put on her shoes. + +She ran to the new house. She saw many people and tools. They were cutting and hammering and measuring. They were making the lumber into walls and floors and roofs. Lily thought it was amazing. + +She saw a pile of lumber that was not used yet. It had a sign that said "Do not touch".

But you have to be careful. The lumber is not for printing. It is for working. You have to respect other people's things." + +Lily said "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I just wanted to print something nice." Her mom said "I know, Lily, I know. You like to print. But you have to print on paper, not on lumber. Paper is for printing. Lumber is for building." + +Lily said "Okay, mom, okay. I understand. Can I still print on paper?" Her mom said "Of course, Lily, of course. You can print on paper as much as you want. But only on paper, okay?" Lily said "Okay, mom, okay. I love you." Her mom said "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go home and print some more." +Lily was a popular girl in her class.

They have many toys and books. But they also like to do silly things. + +One day, they find a ladder in the garage. They drag it to their room. They want to see what is on the top shelf of their closet. They think there might be something fun or yummy there. + +They take turns to climb the ladder. Lily goes first. She is thin and light.

Come and join me." + +Ben wants to climb the ladder too. He is not thin and light. He is big and heavy. He climbs the ladder. But the ladder is not strong enough. It wobbles and shakes.

She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" + +Ben says, "I'm okay, Lily. But the ladder is broken. And we can't sleep on the shelf. It is too high and too small." + +Lily says, "That's okay, Ben. We can sleep on our own beds. They are low and big. And they have our own blankets and pillows. They are cozy too." + +Ben says, "You're right, Lily. Let's go to our beds. And let's not play with the ladder again. It is not safe." + +They go to their beds. They say good night to each other. They close their eyes. They sleep. +Tom loved to play with his dinosaur toys.

He wanted someone who liked dinosaurs as much as he did. Someone who could make them talk and laugh and have adventures. + +One day, Tom saw a new boy in his street. He was carrying a big bag. Tom wondered what was in it. He walked over to the boy and said hello. The boy smiled and said hello back. He opened his bag and Tom gasped. Inside were dozens of dinosaur toys.

He's an infant." + +"Can we play with him?" Lily asked. + +"No," Anna said. "He's too little. He can't play. He might break our dolls." + +Lily nodded. She understood. They put their dolls on the floor and started to play. + +But Ben did not like being alone. He wanted attention. He started to cry. He cried very loud. + +Anna and Lily heard him. They stopped playing. They looked at him. + +"What's wrong with him?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe he's hungry. Or wet. Or bored." + +"Should we tell your mom?" Lily asked. + +Anna shook her head. She was fearful. She did not want to bother her mom. She wanted to play with Lily. She did not want Lily to go home. + +"Maybe he'll stop," Anna said.

He thought it was a toy," the lady said, trying to comfort Lily. + +But Lily didn't care. She didn't want to hear that. She wanted her doll back. + +She looked at the dog, who was still playing with the doll. She felt a fierce feeling in her chest. She ran towards the dog and yelled, "Give me back my doll, you bad dog!" + +The dog was surprised and dropped the doll. Lily grabbed it and hugged it. She glared at the dog and said, "You spoiled my velvet doll. You are a mean dog. I don't like you." + +The dog looked sad and whimpered. He didn't understand why Lily was so mad. He just wanted to have fun. + +Lily's mom picked her up and said, "Let's go home, sweetie. We'll try to fix your doll, okay?" + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She still loved her velvet doll, even if it was spoiled. She hoped the dog would learn not to spoil other people's things. She hoped he would find a nice toy of his own. +Lily and Ben were playing in the jungle. They liked to look at the animals and the plants. They saw a big monkey hanging from a tree. The monkey was nosy. He wanted to see what Lily and Ben had in their backpacks. + +"Hello, monkey!" Lily said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The monkey nodded and jumped down. He ran to Lily's backpack and opened it. He took out a sandwich and a juice box. He bit the sandwich and drank the juice. He made a mess. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily said. "You are not nice, monkey!" + +Ben saw another backpack near a bush. He thought it was his. He went to get it. But it was not his. It was the monkey's. He opened it and saw a banana and a cloth. He peeled the banana and ate it. He used the cloth to wipe his mouth. + +"Hey, that's mine!" the monkey said. "You are not nice, boy!" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry. They had taken the monkey's things too. They decided to share. + +"Sorry, monkey," Lily said. "We did not know this was your backpack. Do you want some of my sandwich?" + +"Sorry, boy," Ben said. "I did not know this was your cloth. Do you want some of my juice?" + +The monkey smiled. He nodded. He gave them some of his banana. He used his cloth to wipe the juice from Lily's face. They all sat together and ate. They became friends. They played in the jungle until it was time to go home. +Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big crab with red claws. It was hiding under a rock. + +"Look, a crab!" Tom said. "Let's catch it!" + +"No, Tom, leave it alone!" Lily said. "It might pinch you!" + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the rock and tried to grab the crab. The crab was scared and angry. It snapped its claws at Tom. Tom screamed and dropped the crab. The crab ran away and hopped into the water. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "The crab bit me!" + +Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She saw a red mark on his finger. She took him to their mom, who was sitting on a towel. She put some ice on his finger and gave him a kiss. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Mom asked. + +Tom nodded, but he still felt sorry. He looked at the water and saw the crab swimming away. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom said. "I was mean to the crab. I should have left it alone." + +Mom smiled and hugged him. "That's okay, Tom. You learned your lesson. The crab was just defending itself. Next time, be gentle and respectful to the animals. They have feelings too, you know." + +Tom nodded again. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to the crab in his mind. He hoped the crab was okay. He decided to play with Lily and look for shells instead. He did not want to hurt any more animals. He wanted to be a good boy. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to go to the market with their mom. They saw many things to buy, like fruits, bread, cheese, and toys. But Lila and Ben loved olives the most. They always asked their mom to buy them a big jar of olives to eat at home. + +One day, their mom said she had to go to another shop and left them near the olive stand. She told them to wait for her and not to touch anything. Lila and Ben nodded, but they were very hungry and wanted some olives. They saw a wise old man who was selling olives. He had a long beard and a kind smile. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you like olives?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lila and Ben said. + +"Would you like to buy some?" he asked. + +"But we have no money," Lila said. + +"That's okay," he said. "I have a special offer for you. You can have as many olives as you want, but you have to give me something in return." + +"What do you want?" Ben asked. + +"I want your eyes," he said. + +"Our eyes?" Lila and Ben gasped. + +"Yes, your eyes. They are so bright and beautiful. I need them for my magic. Don't worry, you won't feel any pain. And you can still eat olives. They are very tasty, you know." + +Lila and Ben were scared, but they were also curious. They thought the old man was joking. They wanted to try his olives. They agreed to his offer. + +The old man gave them a big bowl of olives and took their eyes. He put them in a small bag and laughed. Lila and Ben ate the olives, but they couldn't see anything. They felt something wet on their faces. They realized they were crying. + +They called for their mom, but she couldn't hear them. They called for help, but no one came. They were alone and blind in the market. They wished they had listened to their mom and not touched anything. They wished they had not trusted the old man. They wished they had not traded their eyes for olives. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and foolish. Listen to your parents and be careful of strangers. +Lisa was very happy. She got an invite to Anna's birthday party. The party was on Halloween. Lisa loved Halloween. She could wear a costume and get candy. + +Lisa asked her mom to help her find a costume. They went to the store. There were many costumes. Lisa saw a princess costume. It was pink and shiny. It had a crown and a wand. Lisa wanted to be a princess. + +But the costume was expensive. It had a big price tag. Lisa's mom said they could not buy it. Lisa was sad. She did not want to wear her old costume. It was a cat costume. It was black and furry. It had ears and a tail. Lisa did not like cats. + +Lisa's mom saw another costume. It was a fairy costume. It was green and sparkly. It had wings and a flower. Lisa's mom said it was cheap. It had a small price tag. Lisa's mom said they could buy it. Lisa was happy. She liked fairies. + +Lisa tried on the fairy costume. It fit her well. She looked in the mirror. She smiled. She felt like a fairy. She thanked her mom. She said she was ready to go to the party. + +Lisa's mom drove her to Anna's house. There were many kids. They all wore costumes. Lisa saw Anna. She wore a witch costume. It was purple and black. It had a hat and a broom. Anna saw Lisa. She smiled. She said hello. + +"Hi, Anna. Happy birthday. I like your costume. You look like a witch." + +"Hi, Lisa. Thank you. I like your costume too. You look like a fairy." + +"Thank you. I like fairies. They are magical." + +"Me too. Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, please. Let's play." + +Lisa and Anna played together. They had fun. They ate cake and candy. They sang and danced. They were happy. They were friends. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a big truck and Lily has a small doll. Ben likes to examine his truck and see how it works. He pushes the buttons and makes the lights flash and the horn beep. Lily likes to examine her doll and see how she looks. She brushes her hair and changes her clothes. + +"Look at my truck, Lily," Ben says. "It is so big and strong. It can carry a lot of weight. Can your doll do that?" + +Lily shakes her head. "No, my doll cannot do that. But she is so pretty and soft. She can talk and sing. Can your truck do that?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, my truck cannot do that. But it is more fun to play with a truck than a doll. Trucks are for boys and dolls are for girls." + +Lily frowns. "That is not true, Ben. I can play with a truck if I want to. And you can play with a doll if you want to. Toys are for everyone." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He decides to try something new. He picks up Lily's doll and examines it. He feels how light and easy it is to hold. He presses the button and hears the doll say "I love you". He smiles. + +Lily picks up Ben's truck and examines it. She feels how heavy and hard it is to push. She pushes the buttons and sees the lights flash and the horn beep. She laughs. + +"Hey, this is fun," Ben says. "Your doll is nice, Lily. Can I play with her for a while?" + +"Sure, Ben," Lily says. "Your truck is cool, Ben. Can I play with it for a while?" + +They nod and swap their toys. They play happily together, examining each other's toys and learning new things. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they found a big green bean on a vine. Lily wanted to pick it and eat it, but Ben said no. + +"That bean is not for us," he said. "It is for the fairy who lives in the vine. She is very modest and shy. She only comes out at night and shares her beans with the animals. If we take her bean, she will be sad and angry." + +Lily did not believe him. She thought he was making up stories. She reached for the bean and pulled it hard. The vine shook and made a loud noise. Lily and Ben heard a tiny voice say, "Who is there? Who is taking my bean?" + +They looked up and saw a small fairy with wings and a dress made of leaves. She had a crown of flowers on her head and a wand in her hand. She looked very angry and scared them with her wand. She said, "This is my bean. You are bad children. Go away or I will turn you into frogs!" + +Lily and Ben dropped the bean and ran away. They were very scared and sorry. They did not want to be frogs. They learned to respect the fairy and her beans. They never bothered her again. They told their friends to be careful and not to scare the fairy. They said, "She is very modest and shy, but also very powerful and brave. She is the queen of the garden and we must be nice to her." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They were having fun. + +Then, Mom came in with a tray of cookies. She smiled and said, "Who wants a delicious treat?" Ben and Lily ran to the couch and sat down. They each took a cookie and said, "Thank you, Mom!" + +Mom said, "You're welcome, sweeties. Enjoy your cookies, but don't make a mess. I have to go to the store and replace the milk. I'll be back soon." + +Ben and Lily nodded and started to eat their cookies. They were soft and sweet and had chocolate chips. They loved them. + +But then, Ben saw something that made him angry. Lily had taken his red car and was playing with it. He said, "Hey, that's my car! Give it back!" + +Lily said, "No, it's mine now. I like red better than blue. You can have my blue car." + +Ben said, "No, I don't want your blue car. I want my red car. It's faster and cooler. You can't just replace my car with yours. That's not fair!" + +Lily said, "Yes, I can. You can't stop me. Red is my favorite color. You can have blue. It's boring." + +Ben and Lily started to argue and tug at the red car. They forgot about their cookies and made a lot of noise. They were not having fun anymore. + +Then, they heard the door open. It was Mom. She came in and saw the mess and the fight. She said, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting over a toy car? And why are there crumbs and chocolate on the floor and the couch?" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing with our cars and then we wanted the same one. We didn't mean to make a mess or be loud." + +Mom said, "Well, you need to learn to share and be nice to each other. You have two cars, one for each of you. You can take turns or trade, but you can't just replace someone else's car with yours. That's not polite or kind. And you need to clean up after yourselves. You can't leave your cookies and crumbs everywhere. That's not neat or tidy." + +Ben and Lily said, "You're right, Mom. We're sorry. We'll share and be nice and clean up. We love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. Now, let's hug and make up. And then, let's finish our cookies. They're still delicious." +Mia likes to sing. She sings every day. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. She sings loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low. She sings with her toys, with her pets, and with her family. + +One day, Mia sees a musician on the street. He plays a guitar. He has a hat with coins. He smiles at Mia. Mia thinks he is charming. She wants to sing with him. She runs to him and says, "Hello, musician! Can I sing with you?" + +The musician is surprised. He says, "Hello, little girl! You can sing with me, but you have to be careful. This is a busy street. There are many cars and people. You have to stay close to me and hold my hand. And you have to sing softly, not shout. If you shout, you will hurt your voice and scare the people." + +Mia nods. She holds the musician's hand. She sings softly with him. They sing happy songs, sad songs, and funny songs. They sing in English, in Spanish, and in French. They sing for a long time. The people stop and listen. They clap and cheer. They give coins to the musician and Mia. + +Mia is very happy. She says, "Thank you, musician! You are very nice. You make me happy. You are my friend." + +The musician is very happy too. He says, "Thank you, Mia! You are very sweet. You have a beautiful voice. You are my friend too." He gives Mia a hug and a coin. He says, "Come back and sing with me again." + +Mia smiles. She says, "I will, musician. I will come back and sing with you again. Goodbye, friend." + +She waves and runs back to her mom. She tells her mom about the musician and the singing. She shows her mom the coin. She says, "Mom, I had fun. I met a charming musician. He is my friend. I love singing." +Tom and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. But they did not see any jellyfish. + +"Mom, can we see jellyfish?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe, but you have to be careful. Jellyfish can sting you with their long arms. It hurts a lot and makes your skin red and sore. That is harsh," mom said. + +"Can we touch them?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. They are not toys. They are animals that live in the water. You have to respect them and leave them alone," dad said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They did not want to get stung by jellyfish. They wanted to have fun at the beach. + +They kept playing in the sand and splashing in the water. They made a big castle with a moat and a flag. They found some pretty shells and stones to decorate it. They were very happy. + +Then they saw something shiny and colorful in the water. It looked like a balloon with ribbons. It was a jellyfish. + +"Look, a jellyfish!" Tom shouted. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. + +They ran to the water to get a closer look. They forgot what mom and dad had told them. + +"Stop, don't go near it!" mom and dad yelled. + +But it was too late. Tom and Lily reached out their hands to touch the jellyfish. They felt a sharp pain in their fingers. They screamed and cried. + +Mom and dad ran to them and pulled them out of the water. They wrapped their hands in towels and put some cream on them. They hugged them and kissed them. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. We were silly. We should have listened to you," Tom and Lily said. + +"It's okay, we forgive you. But you have to be more careful next time. Jellyfish are not friendly. They are harsh," mom and dad said. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They never touched a jellyfish again. They still liked to play at the beach, but they stayed away from the jellyfish. They enjoyed the other things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. They had fun at the beach. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates on the beach. They had a big stick for a sword, a red scarf for a flag, and a bucket for a treasure chest. They dug a hole in the sand and buried their treasure. Then they looked for a good place to hide. + +"Let's go behind that big rock," Ben said. "No one will find us there." + +They ran to the rock and crouched behind it. They pretended to watch for enemy ships and sea monsters. They made loud noises with their mouths. + +"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Ben shouted. "We are shooting our cannons!" + +"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Lily growled. "We are scaring the sharks!" + +They had so much fun that they did not notice a man walking on the beach. He had a long beard, a hat, and a hook for a hand. He looked like a real pirate. He saw the red scarf sticking out of the sand. He walked towards it. + +Lily and Ben heard his footsteps. They peeked from behind the rock. They saw his hook and his beard. They gasped. + +"It's a pirate!" Lily whispered. "He's going to steal our treasure!" + +"What do we do?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe we can scare him away," Lily said. "Let's make a loud noise." + +They picked up a big shell and threw it at the pirate. It hit him on the head. He dropped his hook and rubbed his head. He looked angry. + +"Who did that?" he yelled. "Show yourselves, you scurvy dogs!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to face the pirate. They looked around for a way to escape. They saw a big anchor lying on the beach. It was cold and rusty. It had a rope attached to it. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily said. "We can use the anchor to swing away!" + +They grabbed the rope and tied it to the rock. Then they climbed on the anchor and pushed off. They swung over the pirate's head and landed on the other side of the beach. They ran to their treasure and dug it up. They put it in their bucket and ran away. + +"Ha ha ha!" they laughed. "We tricked the pirate!" + +The pirate was confused. He saw the children swinging on the anchor and running away. He shook his fist. + +"Come back here, you little rascals!" he shouted. "That's my treasure!" + +But Lily and Ben did not hear him. They were too busy celebrating their victory. They had saved their treasure and had a great adventure. They were the best pirates ever. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big car. It was shiny and fast. Ben said, "Wow, look at that car! I want to drive it when I grow up." Lily said, "Me too. And we can marry and go to far places." + +They ran to the car and looked inside. It was empty. Ben said, "Let's pretend we are driving. Come on, Lily, get in." Lily said, "OK, but be careful. The car is not ours." They climbed in the car and closed the door. They made noises like the car was moving. They had fun. + +But they did not see the man who owned the car. He was smelly and mean. He came back from the store and saw the kids in his car. He was angry. He opened the door and grabbed Ben and Lily. He said, "What are you doing in my car? You little thieves! I will teach you a lesson." He threw them out of the car and kicked them hard. Ben and Lily cried. They were hurt and scared. + +The man got in his car and drove away. He did not care about the kids. He only cared about his car. He liked speed. He went too fast and did not see the red light. He crashed into another car. He was hurt too. He wished he had been nicer to the kids. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They did not want to play in the park anymore. They did not want to marry and go to far places. They only wanted to go home and hug their moms. They learned a hard lesson. They never went near a car again. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to go to the shop with their mum. The shop had many things to see and touch. Tom liked the cars and Anna liked the dolls. + +One day, they went to the shop with their mum. Mum said, "Stay with me, please. Don't wander away." But Tom and Anna did not listen. They saw something shiny and ran to it. It was a big mirror. They looked at themselves and made funny faces. + +"Look, Anna, I have a big nose!" Tom said. + +"Look, Tom, I have a big mouth!" Anna said. + +They laughed and laughed. They did not see that mum was gone. They did not hear her call their names. + +They turned around and saw many people. They did not see mum. They felt scared. They held hands and cried. + +"Where is mum?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Anna said. + +They looked around and saw a lady. She had a kind face and a badge. She worked at the shop. She saw Tom and Anna and came to them. + +"Hello, little ones. Are you lost?" she asked. + +"Yes, we can't find mum," Tom said. + +"Don't worry, I will help you. What is your mum's name?" she asked. + +"Mum," Anna said. + +The lady smiled. She was clever. She knew that was not her real name. She asked them more questions. She learned their names, their mum's hair color, and what she wore. + +She took them to a big desk. She spoke into a phone. She said, "Attention, shoppers. We have two lost children at the customer service desk. Their names are Tom and Anna. They are looking for their mum. She has brown hair and a blue dress. If you are their mum, please come to the desk. Thank you." + +Tom and Anna waited. They hoped mum would hear. They hoped she would come soon. + +They heard a voice. It was mum. She sounded happy and worried. She said, "Tom! Anna! There you are! I was so scared! I'm sorry, I lost you. Are you okay?" + +Tom and Anna ran to mum. They hugged her. They said, "We're sorry, mum. We wandered away. We won't do it again." + +Mum hugged them back. She said, "I'm glad you're safe. Thank you, lady, for finding them." + +The lady smiled. She said, "You're welcome. They are very sweet and clever. But please, keep an eye on them. The shop is a big place." + +Mum nodded. She said, "I will. Come on, Tom and Anna. Let's go home." + +They said goodbye to the lady. They left the shop. They held mum's hand. They did not wander away. They learned their lesson. +Lila and Tom are young friends who like to play at the farm. They see a big goose with many small geese. The big goose is the mother and the small geese are her babies. + +"Look, Tom, the goose has babies!" Lila says. "They are so cute and fluffy!" + +"Yes, they are," Tom says. "But we should not go too close. The mother goose might get angry and bite us." + +Lila and Tom watch the geese from a distance. They see how the mother goose supports her babies. She shows them how to swim, how to eat, and how to honk. She protects them from the cat, the dog, and the fox. She is a good mother. + +"Tom, do you think the mother goose loves her babies?" Lila asks. + +"Of course she does, Lila," Tom says. "She loves them very much. Just like our mothers love us." + +Lila and Tom smile and hug each other. They are happy to have mothers who support them. They are happy to have each other as friends. They are happy to see the geese. They are happy to play at the farm. +Anna and Ben like candy very much. They have a jar of candy in their room. They share the candy with each other and with their friends. Sometimes they trade candy for other things, like stickers or toys. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to buy a new book. They see a book they like in the store. But they do not have enough money. They think of a plan. They decide to sell some of their candy to other kids. They think candy is useful for this. + +They take some candy from their jar and put it in a bag. They go to the park, where many kids play. They ask the kids if they want to buy some candy. Some kids say yes, and give them money. Some kids say no, and go away. Anna and Ben are happy. They get more money. + +They go back to the store with their money. They buy the book they like. They have some money left. They buy some more candy for their jar. They go home and read the book together. They eat some candy too. They think candy is useful and yummy. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. They dig in the soil with their hands and make shapes. They find worms and bugs and stones. + +One day, they see a big hole in the soil. They want to see what is inside. They go near the hole and look down. It is very dark and deep. They hear a growl. + +Mama sees them from the window. She runs out and warns them. "Stop! Do not go near the hole! It is dangerous! There is a badger in the hole. He can bite you and hurt you!" + +Lila and Tom are scared. They run away from the hole. They hug Mama and say sorry. Mama is glad they are safe. She tells them to play somewhere else. + +She fills the hole with hard stones and wood. She puts a sign that says "Badger. Keep away." She hopes the badger will leave soon. She does not want him to dig more holes in her garden. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They like to swing on the big tree. The tree has a long rope and a wooden seat. They take turns to swing high and low. + +"Look at me, Lily! I can hang from the rope with one hand!" Tom says. He lets go of the seat and holds the rope with his right hand. He feels brave and strong. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so good!" Lily says. She claps her hands and smiles. She wants to try too. She waits for Tom to come back to the ground. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is a storm. The sky is dark and angry. The wind is blowing hard. The tree is shaking. The rope is swinging. Tom is scared. He can't hold the rope anymore. He falls to the ground. He hurts his knee. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asks. She runs to him and hugs him. She sees blood on his knee. She feels sad and worried. + +"I'm okay, Lily. It's just a scratch." Tom says. He tries to be brave and strong. He doesn't want to cry. + +They hear another loud noise. It is their dog, Max. He is a big, hairy dog. He loves Lily and Tom. He comes to the garden. He sees them on the ground. He runs to them and licks their faces. He wants to make them happy. + +"Max, you are here!" Lily and Tom say. They pet his fur and laugh. They feel better and safer. + +They decide to go inside the house. They don't want to play in the storm. They want to play with Max. He is their best friend. He can hang with them anytime. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big stick. They say, "This is a king's stick. We can be kings." + +They take turns to hold the stick and pretend to be kings. They say, "I am the king. You do what I say." They tell each other to run, jump, and clap. + +But Tom does not want to share the stick. He says, "I am the king. You give me the stick." He tries to grab the stick from Ann. Ann says, "No, Tom. That is not fair. We have to share the stick." + +They pull and tug on the stick. They are not happy. They are not friends. + +A man sees them. He is the park keeper. He says, "What are you doing, children? Why are you fighting over a stick?" + +Tom and Ann stop. They feel ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We were playing kings. But we did not share the stick." + +The park keeper says, "I see. Well, playing kings can be fun. But you have to be fair and kind. A good king does not take things from others. A good king shares and cares. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Ann nod. They say, "Yes, sir. We understand. We will be fair and kind. We will share and care." + +The park keeper smiles. He says, "That's good. Now, why don't you play together and have fun? You can both be kings. But remember, a king's stick is just a stick. A king's heart is what matters." + +Tom and Ann smile. They say, "Thank you, sir. You are right. A king's heart is what matters." They hug and make up. They play together and have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were busy playing with their ball. They liked to bounce it high and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it to each other and said, "Catch!" + +One day, they saw a new ball in the park. It was big and blue and shiny. They wanted to play with it. They ran to the ball and picked it up. + +"Wow, this ball is so nice!" Lily said. + +"Let's bounce it!" Tom said. + +They bounced the ball, but it was too big and heavy. It bounced away from them and rolled down the hill. They chased after it, but they could not catch it. + +"Help, help!" they cried. + +A man was walking his dog near the hill. He heard their cries and saw the ball. He ran to the ball and stopped it with his foot. He picked it up and walked to Lily and Tom. + +"Is this your ball?" he asked. + +"No, sir," Lily said. "We found it in the park. We wanted to play with it, but it was too hard." + +The man smiled and said, "This is not a ball for children. This is a ball for yoga. It is for exercise, not for fun. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask before you play with them. You could have lost it or broken it or hurt someone." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know. We will not do it again." + +The man nodded and said, "That's good. Here, you can have your old ball back. It is more suitable for you. It is small and light and fun. You can bounce it and catch it and share it. Be careful and have fun." + +Lily and Tom thanked the man and took their old ball. They learned their lesson. They bounced their ball and played with it happily. They did not want the big blue ball anymore. They were happy with what they had. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They knew many animals and plants there. One day, they saw a big mushroom with red and white spots. It looked tasty and pretty. + +"Let's pick it and eat it!" said Ben. + +"No, no, no!" said Lily. "That is a bad mushroom. It can make you sick or worse. Mama told us not to touch it." + +But Ben did not listen. He was foolish and curious. He pulled the mushroom from the ground and took a bite. He made a face and spit it out. It was bitter and yucky. + +"Yuck! This is the worst thing ever!" he said. + +Suddenly, he felt a pain in his tummy. He started to feel dizzy and see strange things. He saw the trees dancing and the flowers singing. He heard a whistle in his ear. He looked around and saw a little man with a pointy hat and a long beard. He was holding a flute and smiling. + +"Hello, little boy," said the little man. "Do you like my music? I am a gnome and I live under this mushroom. You ate my roof and now you are in my spell. You will stay with me forever and be my friend." + +Lily was scared. She saw Ben talking to the air and acting weird. She ran to him and shook him. + +"Ben, Ben, wake up! You are dreaming! You ate a bad mushroom and now you are sick. We have to go home and tell Mama. She will help you." + +But Ben did not hear her. He was too busy following the gnome's whistle. He walked deeper into the forest, away from Lily. + +Lily cried and ran after him. She hoped to find Mama or someone who could help. She wished Ben had listened to her and not been so foolish. She learned a lesson that day: never eat a mushroom you don't know. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big slide. It looked amazing.

One day, they saw a big, hairy dog. The dog had a black coat and yellow eyes. It looked scary. + +"Let's go and pet the dog," said Tom. He liked dogs. He was not afraid. + +"No, don't do that," said Jen. She was afraid. She thought the dog was a witch. She had heard stories about witches who turned into animals. "The dog might bite you or cast a spell on you." + +Tom did not listen. He ran towards the dog. He wanted to touch its fur and ears. The dog saw Tom and growled. It did not like strangers. It showed its teeth and barked. + +Jen screamed. She ran after Tom. She wanted to save him. She hoped the dog was not a witch. She wished they had stayed away. + +The dog was faster than Tom. It speeded up and caught him. It jumped on him and knocked him down. It bit his arm and scratched his face. Tom cried out in pain and fear. + +Jen reached Tom and the dog. She grabbed a stick and hit the dog. She yelled at it to go away. She was brave. She wanted to help Tom. + +The dog let go of Tom and ran away. It was hurt and scared. It did not like the stick.

They were hurt and scared. They wanted to go back to their home. They did not like the park. They did not like the dog. They learned a lesson. They would not go near big, hairy dogs again. +Anna and Ben went to the theater with their mom and dad. They wanted to see a show about ancient people who lived long ago. They wore funny clothes and talked in a strange way. + +The show started and the lights went down. Anna and Ben tried to watch and listen, but they did not understand much. They saw people on the stage who pretended to fight and sing and dance. They heard loud noises and music. They felt bored and sleepy. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Anna whispered. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"Not yet, sweetie. The show is almost over. Try to enjoy it. It's very interesting," Mom whispered back. She smiled and held Anna's hand. + +Ben yawned too. He leaned on Dad's shoulder and closed his eyes. He did not care about the show. He wanted to play with his toys and read his books. + +Dad noticed that Ben was tired. He whispered to Mom, "Maybe we should have chosen a different show. This one is too hard for them. They are too young for ancient history." + +Mom nodded. She felt sorry for Anna and Ben. She hoped the show would end soon. She wanted to take them home and tuck them in bed. She thought they would have more fun at the theater another day. +Tom was sick.

He leaned on the pillow and felt the nurse touch his head with a small thing. It beeped. Then she put a big thing on his chest and listened. She nodded and said, "You have a fever and a cold, Tom. But don't worry. I have some medicine for you. It will make you feel better soon. Can you drink this cup for me?" + +Tom looked at the cup. It was red and smelled funny. He did not want to drink it. He shook his head and said, "No, thank you. It is yucky." + +The nurse smiled again and said, "I know, Tom. It is not very tasty. But it is good for you. It will help you stop coughing and cool down your head. If you drink it fast, it will be over soon. And then you can have a sticker and a hug. How about that?" + +Tom thought about it. He liked stickers and hugs. He did not like coughing and feeling hot. He decided to try the medicine. He held his nose and drank it fast. It was yucky, but he did it. He made a face and said, "Done." + +The nurse clapped and said, "Good job, Tom. You are very brave. Here is your sticker and your hug. You are a star." She gave him a sticker with a star and a hug. Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, nurse. You are nice." + +The nurse said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are nice, too. Now you need to rest and drink some water. I will tell your mom what to do. And I will come back tomorrow to see how you are. Bye, Tom." + +Tom said, "Bye, nurse." He felt a little better. He put his sticker on his shirt and lay down.

We pushed the switch. We did not know it would make the dark. We wanted to have some fun. We did not want to scare anyone." + +The teacher was angry and sad. She said, "You should not have done that. You were very naughty and silly. You embarrassed me and yourself. You made the other kids upset and afraid. You have to say sorry to everyone and sit in the corner until the lesson is over." + +Lily and Tom said sorry to everyone. They felt ashamed and sad. They sat in the corner and did not say a word.

He had lost his only friend. + +He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I broke my teddy bear. I used the knife. I wanted him to talk to me. I was lonely." His mom hugged him and said, "Oh, Tom, what have you done? You should never play with knives. They are dangerous. They can hurt you and others. You are lucky you did not cut yourself. I'm sorry you were lonely, but you can't make friends by hurting them. You have to be kind and gentle. Come on, let's go and fix your teddy bear. Maybe we can find some other kids for you to play with later." Tom nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." He followed his mom and hoped his teddy bear would forgive him. +Lily and Ben were playing on the shore. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells and stones. They found many pretty things, but Lily wanted to find something special. + +"Look, Ben, I found a star!" Lily said, holding up a starfish. "It is so soft and has five arms. Can I keep it?" + +Ben looked at the starfish and shook his head. "No, Lily, you can't keep it. It belongs to the sea. It needs water and food and friends. If you take it home, it will die." + +Lily frowned and felt sad. She liked the starfish and wanted to have it. "But it is so pretty and I like it. Why can't I have it?" + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "I know, Lily, but you have to be tough and let it go. It is not fair to keep something that is not happy with you. Maybe you can find something else that belongs to the shore, like a shell or a stone. They are pretty too, and they don't need water or food or friends." + +Lily thought about what Ben said and nodded. She put the starfish back in the water and watched it swim away. She felt a little better and smiled. She said, "You are right, Ben. The starfish belongs to the sea. I will look for something else that belongs to the shore. Maybe we can make a necklace or a picture with them." + +Ben smiled back and said, "That sounds like fun, Lily. Let's do that. We can find many things that belong to the shore and make something beautiful with them." + +They held hands and walked along the shore, looking for shells and stones. They were happy and had fun. They knew that some things belong to the sea and some things belong to the shore, and they respected that. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. Lily was very good at making flexible bridges that could bend and twist. Ben was very good at making tall towers that could reach the ceiling. + +"Look at my bridge, Ben!" Lily said, showing him her creation. "It is very flexible. It can move like a snake." + +"Wow, Lily, that is cool!" Ben said, admiring her bridge. "But can it hold my tower? My tower is very strong. It can touch the sky." + +Ben put his tower on one end of Lily's bridge. The bridge bent under the weight of the tower, but it did not break. Lily smiled and said, "See, Ben? My bridge can hold your tower. It is very flexible." + +Ben smiled too and said, "You are right, Lily. Your bridge is very flexible. But can it hold this?" He grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at the bridge. The pillow hit the bridge and the tower, and both of them fell down. The blocks scattered all over the floor. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Lily cried, looking at the mess. "You destroyed my bridge and your tower. That was not nice." + +Ben felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I did not mean to destroy your bridge and my tower. I was just curious. Can we build them again?" + +Lily was still sad, but she forgave Ben. She said, "Okay, Ben. We can build them again. But next time, please don't throw pillows at them. That is not fun." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. I won't throw pillows at them. I promise. Let's build them again. And maybe we can make something else too. Something that is flexible and strong and can touch the sky." + +Lily and Ben hugged and said, "Yes, let's do that." They picked up the blocks and started to build again. They had fun and learned to share and respect each other's creations. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes and look for shells. One day, they saw a big crab on the sand. It was not moving and its eyes were closed. + +"Look, a crab!" Tim said. "Let's take it home and keep it as a pet." + +"No, it's dead," Sam said. "It can't be a pet. It's sad." + +"Who says it's dead?" Tim said. "Maybe it's just sleeping. I want it." + +Tim grabbed the crab and ran away. Sam followed him, trying to stop him. + +"Give it back, Tim!" Sam said. "It's not yours. It's not nice to take things that don't belong to you." + +Tim did not listen. He ran faster and faster, until he tripped on a rock and fell down. The crab flew out of his hands and landed on the ground. It broke into many pieces and scattered all over the sand. + +Tim started to cry. He hurt his knee and his hand. He also lost his crab. He looked at the broken pieces and felt sorry. + +Sam came to help him. He gave him a hug and a band-aid. He also picked up the pieces and buried them in a hole. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Tim said. "You were right. It was dead. It was not a good pet. It was not a good thing to do." + +"It's okay, Tim," Sam said. "You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, be more careful and respectful. There are many other things to play with on the beach. Things that are alive and happy." + +They hugged again and went back to their sand castle. They played together and had fun. They also saw some live crabs and left them alone. They learned to be kind and honest. They were good brothers. +Lila and her mom went to the big water place. Lila liked to see the fish and the turtles and the sharks. But her favorite was the dolphin. The dolphin was gray and shiny and had a big smile. + +"Mom, can I touch the dolphin?" Lila asked. + +"Maybe, if the dolphin wants to," her mom said. "But you have to be gentle and quiet." + +They waited by the pool where the dolphin lived. The dolphin came near them and made a funny sound. Lila giggled. She reached out her hand and felt the dolphin's skin. It was smooth and wet. + +"Hello, dolphin," Lila said. "You are so pretty. Do you like me?" + +The dolphin nodded and made another sound. It seemed to like Lila too. It swam around the pool and came back to her. It lifted its head out of the water and opened its mouth. Lila saw something shiny inside. + +"What is that, dolphin?" Lila asked. + +The dolphin spit out the shiny thing. It was a necklace with a blue stone. Lila gasped. It was so pretty. + +"Did you find this, dolphin?" Lila asked. + +The dolphin nodded again and pushed the necklace towards Lila. It was a gift. + +"Thank you, dolphin," Lila said. "You are so nice. Can I give you a hug?" + +The dolphin nodded again and moved closer to Lila. Lila wrapped her arms around the dolphin's neck and gave it a big hug. The dolphin hugged her back with its fins. It was warm and comfortable. + +Lila and the dolphin were happy. They had made a new friend. +Tom and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park very much. They could play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. They were very happy and excited. + +But when they got to the car, Mom said, "Oh no, the car is broken. We have to wait for Dad to come and fix it. He will be here soon." + +Tom and Lily were very sad and impatient. They did not want to wait. They wanted to go to the park now. + +"Mom, why do we have to wait?" Tom asked. + +"Because the car is not working. It needs to be fixed. Dad knows how to fix it. He is coming soon. He called me on the phone," Mom said. + +"But how long is soon?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, honey. Maybe ten minutes. Maybe more. Maybe less. We have to be patient," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily sighed. They did not like to be patient. They looked at the car. It was very quiet and still. They looked at the road. It was very busy and noisy. They looked at the sky. It was very blue and bright. + +They wished they were at the park. + +They decided to play a game to make the time go faster. They took turns to name things they could see. They named cars, trucks, buses, bikes, trees, birds, flowers, and clouds. They had fun and laughed. + +They did not notice that Dad arrived. He got out of his car and opened the hood of Mom's car. He looked at the engine and used some tools. He worked hard and fast. + +He fixed the car. + +"Mom, Dad, the car is fixed!" Tom shouted. + +"Yay, Dad, you are the best!" Lily cheered. + +Mom hugged Dad and thanked him. She started the car. It made a loud and happy sound. + +"Are you ready to go to the park?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Lily said. + +They got in the car and buckled their seat belts. They smiled and waved to Dad. Dad smiled and waved back. + +They drove to the park. + +They were very happy and excited. + +They forgot about the delay. + +They only felt their hearts. +Tom and Lily wanted to buy a new toy for their play kitchen. They saw a big cake with candles and sprinkles in the shop window. It looked yummy and fun. + +"Can we buy the cake, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sorry, kids, we don't have enough money for that. Maybe next time," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They really wanted the cake. They had an idea. They waited until Mom was busy looking at some clothes. Then they ran to the shop and grabbed the cake. They ran back to their play kitchen and hid the cake under a blanket. + +"Look, we have a cake!" Lily whispered. + +"Let's eat it!" Tom said. + +They lifted the blanket and took a big bite of the cake. But it was not yummy at all. It was hard and plastic and tasted like soap. They spit it out and felt sick. + +"Yuck! This is not a real cake!" Lily cried. + +"It's a fake cake! It's for pretend!" Tom realized. + +They heard Mom calling their names. She was angry and worried. She had seen them take the cake from the shop. She made them go back and say sorry to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was also angry and said they had to pay for the cake. Mom had to use the money she was saving for a new dress. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. They learned that stealing is wrong and that they should not take things that are not theirs. They also learned that things are not always what they seem and that they should be happy with what they have. They wished they had listened to Mom and waited for a real cake. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a large ball that they kick and throw. One day, they see a large dog in the park. The dog is black and white and has a long tail. The dog runs to them and barks. + +"Hello, dog!" Ben says. He wants to pet the dog. He reaches out his hand. + +"Ben, no!" Lily says. She is scared of the dog. She sees its large teeth. She thinks the dog will bite Ben. She pulls Ben back. + +The dog stops barking. It wags its tail. It licks Ben's hand. Ben laughs. He is not scared of the dog. He pets the dog's head. + +"See, Lily? The dog is nice. It does not want to bite us. It wants to play with us." Ben says. + +Lily is still scared of the dog. She does not want to pet the dog. She holds Ben's hand. + +"Are you sure, Ben? The dog is very large. And it has large teeth." Lily says. + +"Yes, I am sure, Lily. The dog is friendly. Look, it likes our ball. It wants to play catch with us." Ben says. + +He picks up the ball and throws it. The dog runs after the ball. It catches the ball in its mouth. It brings the ball back to Ben and Lily. It drops the ball at their feet. It wags its tail again. + +"Wow, the dog is good at catch!" Ben says. He throws the ball again. The dog chases the ball again. + +Lily watches Ben and the dog. She sees that the dog is happy. She sees that Ben is happy. She decides to try to pet the dog. She reaches out her hand slowly. The dog licks her hand. Lily smiles. She is not scared of the dog anymore. She pets the dog's head. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "You are a nice dog. You are a good dog. You are a fun dog." + +The dog barks. It is happy. It likes Ben and Lily. It likes to play with them. Ben and Lily like the dog. They like to play with it. They manage to make a new friend in the park. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see a large tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the birds. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Be careful, okay? The tree is very high," Mom says. + +Tom and Mia nod and run to the tree. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They feel happy and excited. They see many birds on the tree. They hear them sing and chirp. + +"Look, a red bird!" Mia says. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Tom says. + +They watch the red bird for a while. Then they see a yellow ball on the ground. It belongs to another kid who is playing nearby. + +"Let's throw the ball to him," Tom says. + +"Okay, but don't throw too hard," Mia says. + +Tom picks up the ball and throws it to the kid. But he throws it too hard. The ball flies over the kid's head and hits a man who is walking his dog. + +"Ouch!" the man says. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Tom says. + +The man is not happy. He picks up the ball and throws it back to Tom. But he throws it too hard, too. The ball hits the tree and knocks down a branch. + +"Watch out!" Mia says. + +Tom and Mia duck and cover their heads. The branch falls on the ground with a loud thud. The birds fly away. The dog barks. + +Mom hears the noise and runs to the tree. She sees Tom and Mia on the branch. She sees the man and his dog. She sees the ball and the broken branch. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They feel sorry and scared. They tell Mom what they did. + +Mom is not happy, either. She tells Tom and Mia to apologize to the man and the kid. She tells them to be more careful when they play. She tells them to come down from the tree. + +Tom and Mia say sorry to the man and the kid. They give back the ball. They climb down from the tree. They hug Mom and say sorry to her, too. + +Mom hugs them back and says she loves them. She says they can still play in the park, but they have to be more gentle and respectful. She says they can learn from their mistake. + +Tom and Mia nod and smile. They say they will do better next time. They thank Mom for being kind. They go to play with the kid and his dog. They have fun and make new friends. They are happy again. +Tim and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they went to a party at Tom's house. Tom was a big boy who had many toys. + +"Hello, Tim and Lily. Welcome to my party. Do you want to see my toys?" Tom said. + +"Yes, please. We like toys," Tim and Lily said. + +Tom took them to his room. He had cars, trains, dolls, robots, and more. He showed them his toys and told them how they worked. + +"This is my car. It can go fast and make noise. This is my train. It can go on the tracks and carry things. This is my doll. She can talk and sing. This is my robot. He can walk and dance. Do you like my toys?" Tom said. + +Tim and Lily nodded. They thought Tom's toys were nice, but they also felt bored. They wanted to play with the toys, not just watch Tom play with them. + +"Can we play with your toys, too?" Tim asked. + +"No, you can't. They are mine. You can only look at them. If you touch them, you will break them," Tom said. + +Tim and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Tom. He was not a good friend. He was selfish and mean. + +"Let's go, Lily. This is a boring party. We don't want to stay here," Tim said. + +"OK, Tim. Let's go. Maybe we can find some other friends to play with," Lily said. + +They left Tom's room and went to the living room. There, they saw a big cake and many gifts on a table. + +"Wow, look at that cake. It looks yummy. And look at those gifts. They look fun. I wonder who they are for," Tim said. + +"Maybe they are for Tom. It is his party, after all," Lily said. + +They walked closer to the table. They saw a card on the cake. It said, "Happy Birthday, Tim and Lily!" + +Tim and Lily were surprised. They did not know it was their birthday. They did not know Tom was their cousin. They did not know their parents had planned a surprise party for them. + +They felt happy and excited. They also felt sorry and ashamed. They had been rude to Tom. They had not given him a chance to be a good friend. They had judged him by his toys, not by his heart. + +They ran to Tom and hugged him. + +"Tom, we are sorry. We did not know you were our cousin. We did not know it was our birthday. We did not know you had a gift for us. We were mean to you. Can you forgive us?" Tim and Lily said. + +Tom smiled and hugged them back. + +"Of course, I forgive you. I am sorry, too. I did not know you were my cousins. I did not know you were bored. I did not know you wanted to play with me. I was selfish and mean. Can you forgive me?" Tom said. + +Tim and Lily nodded and smiled. + +"Of course, we forgive you. You are our cousin. You are our friend. We want to play with you. We want to share your toys. We want to see your gift. What is it?" Tim and Lily said. + +Tom took them to the table. He picked up a big box wrapped in colorful paper. He handed it to them. + +"This is your gift. I hope you like it. It is something we can all play with together. It is a board game. It is called Monopoly. Do you know how to play it?" Tom said. + +Tim and Lily shook their heads. They did not know how to play Monopoly. They did not know what it was. + +Tom opened the box and showed them the board, the cards, the money, and the pieces. + +"This is a game where you buy and sell properties, build houses and hotels, and try to make more money than the others. It is fun and easy to learn. I will teach you how to play it. Do you want to play it?" Tom said. + +Tim and Lily nodded. They wanted to play Monopoly. They wanted to learn something new. They wanted to have fun with Tom. + +They thanked Tom for the gift and hugged him again. They sat down on the floor and started to play Monopoly. They laughed and cheered and had a good time. + +They forgot about the cake and the other gifts. They forgot about the other guests and the party. They only cared about the game and each other. + +They played Monopoly for a long time. They did not notice that it was getting dark outside. They did not notice that their parents were looking for them. They did not notice that the house was on fire. + +The end. + +Moral: Don't judge a book by +Lily and Ben were playing with magnets in their room. They liked to stick them on the fridge, the door, and the toys. They had fun making them pull and push each other. + +"Look, Lily, I can make this car move with my magnet!" Ben said, holding a magnet near a toy car. + +"Wow, that's cool, Ben! Can I try?" Lily asked, reaching for the magnet. + +"No, it's mine! You have your own magnet!" Ben said, pulling the magnet away. + +"But I want to try that one! It's bigger and stronger!" Lily said, grabbing the magnet. + +They both struggled to get the magnet. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share or take turns. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud crash. They turned and saw that their magnet had knocked over a lamp. The lamp fell on the floor and broke. Glass and wires were everywhere. + +"MOMMY! DADDY!" they screamed. + +Mommy and Daddy came running to their room. They saw the mess and the broken lamp. They were very angry and scared. + +"What happened here? How did you break the lamp?" Mommy asked. + +"We were playing with magnets and we fought and we didn't mean to and we're sorry!" Lily and Ben said, crying. + +"You were playing with magnets? You know magnets are not toys! They can be dangerous! You could have hurt yourselves or started a fire!" Daddy said. + +"We're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry!" Lily and Ben said. + +Mommy and Daddy took away their magnets. They made them clean up the mess. They sent them to bed without dinner. They said they were disappointed and sad. + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They wished they had shared and taken turns. They wished they had not been impatient and selfish. They wished they had not broken the lamp. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily wanted a haircut. She liked to look pretty and have short hair. But her mom said no. Her mom said her hair was too thin and needed to heal. Lily was sad and angry. She did not like her long hair. It was hot and itchy. + +One day, Lily found scissors in the bathroom. She had an idea. She could cut her own hair. She did not need her mom. She took the scissors and snipped snipped snipped. She cut her hair very short. She looked in the mirror. She smiled. She was pretty. + +But then she felt dizzy. She had cut too much hair. She had cut some of her skin too. She saw blood on the scissors and on the floor. She was scared. She cried. She dropped the scissors and ran to her mom. + +Her mom saw her and gasped. She hugged her and said, "Oh, Lily, what have you done? You hurt yourself. You need a bandage. And a doctor." She took her to the car and drove to the hospital. + +At the hospital, the doctor looked at her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You will be fine. Your hair will grow back. And your skin will heal. But you should not play with scissors. They are dangerous. And you should listen to your mom. She loves you and wants you to be safe." He gave her a sticker and a lollipop. + +Lily said sorry to her mom and to the doctor. She learned her lesson. She decided to wait for her hair to heal. And to ask her mom for a haircut next time. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big rabbit. The rabbit was eating celery. Tim and Sam wanted to pet the rabbit. + +"Hello, rabbit," Tim said. "Can we touch you?" + +The rabbit looked at them and nodded. Tim and Sam went closer. They stroked the rabbit's fur. It was soft and warm. + +"Can we take you home?" Sam asked. "We have more celery for you." + +The rabbit shook its head. It wanted to stay in the park. Tim and Sam were sad. They liked the rabbit. + +"Please, rabbit," Tim begged. "We will be good to you. We will give you a nice cage and a tight hug." + +The rabbit thought for a moment. It decided to go with them. It liked celery and hugs. It followed Tim and Sam to their house. + +But when they got home, their mom was angry. She did not want a rabbit in the house. She said it was dirty and noisy. She told Tim and Sam to return the rabbit to the park. + +"No, mom," Tim cried. "We love the rabbit. He is our friend." + +"Sorry, boys," mom said. "You can't keep the rabbit. He belongs in the park. Take him back now." + +Tim and Sam had to obey. They took the rabbit back to the park. They gave him a tight hug and a piece of celery. They said goodbye. The rabbit hopped away. + +Tim and Sam were very sad. They walked home slowly. They wished they could have the rabbit. They never saw him again. +Tom was a pilot. He liked to fly big planes in the sky. He had a blue hat and a blue shirt with a badge. He was very proud of his job. + +One day, he saw a shiny red car in the parking lot. He wanted to have it.

He called the police on his phone. + +Tom drove the car to his house. He parked it in his garage. He smiled and said, "This car belongs to me now. It is so pretty and fast. No one will find it here." + +But he was wrong. The police came to his house. They knocked on the door. Tom opened it and saw them. They had guns and badges. They were angry. + +"Tom, you are under arrest. You stole a car. That is very bad. You are not an honest pilot. You are a thief. You have to come with us," one of them said. + +Tom was scared. He cried and said, "No, please, don't take me. I'm sorry. I just wanted the car. I didn't mean to hurt anyone." + +But the police did not listen. They put handcuffs on Tom and took him away.

He wished he had never seen the red car. He wished he had been an honest pilot. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, houses, bridges and more. + +One day, they decide to make a big tower. They want to see how high they can go. They take turns to lift blocks and put them on top of each other. They are careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Mia, our tower is so high!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is impressive!" Mia says. "Can you pass me that blue block? I want to put it on the top." + +"Here you go, Mia." Tom lifts the blue block and passes it to Mia. Mia reaches for the block and tries to put it on the top. But the tower is too high for her. She cannot reach it. + +"Tom, can you help me?" Mia asks. + +"Sure, Mia. I can help you." Tom says. He stands behind Mia and lifts her up. Mia holds the blue block in her hands. She smiles and puts it on the top of the tower. + +"Yay, we did it!" Mia says. + +"Yay, we did it!" Tom says. + +They look at their tower and clap their hands. They are proud of their work. They hug each other and laugh. They are happy. +Tom and Amy were very happy. They were going to see a parade with their mom and dad. They put on their hats and coats and walked to the park. They saw many people and cars and flags and balloons. They heard music and horns and drums. + +"Look, there is a big green truck!" Tom said. He pointed to a truck that had a big sign that said "Recycle". It had many bottles and cans and papers on it. Some people were throwing more things into the truck. + +"Can we go closer?" Amy asked. She wanted to see the truck better. She liked the green color and the shiny things. + +"Okay, but be careful," Mom said. She held Amy's hand and walked with her to the truck. Tom and Dad followed them. + +Amy saw a can that had a picture of a cat on it. She liked cats. She reached out to touch the can. But the can was sharp. It cut her finger. Amy cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Amy said. She showed her finger to Mom. It had a drop of blood on it. + +"Oh, no, Amy, I'm sorry," Mom said. She took a tissue from her pocket and wrapped it around Amy's finger. She hugged Amy and kissed her. + +"It's okay, Amy, it's just a little cut. It will get better soon," Dad said. He smiled at Amy and gave her a candy. + +Tom felt sorry for Amy. He gave her his balloon. It was green, like the truck. + +"Here, Amy, this is for you. It's not sharp. It's soft and fun," Tom said. + +Amy smiled. She took the balloon and thanked Tom. She felt better. She held the balloon and the candy and watched the parade with her family. They saw many more trucks and cars and people and animals. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big hill with many flowers. They want to climb the hill and see the sky. + +"Come on, Lila, let's go up the hill!" Ben says. He takes Lila's hand and they start to walk. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. The hill is steep and the grass is slippery," Lila says. She follows Ben and looks at the flowers. They are red, yellow and blue. They smell nice. + +They reach the top of the hill and see the sun. It is bright and high. It is noon. They feel warm and happy. + +"Look, Lila, the sun is so big and round. Let's raise our arms and say hello to the sun!" Ben says. He raises his arms and shouts, "Hello, sun!" + +Lila raises her arms and says, "Hello, sun!" too. They smile and laugh. + +But then, Ben slips and falls. He rolls down the hill and bumps into a rock. He cries and holds his knee. It is hurt and bleeding. + +"Ben, Ben, are you OK?" Lila says. She runs down the hill and hugs Ben. She sees his knee and feels sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I was not careful. My knee hurts a lot. Can you help me?" Ben says. He looks at Lila with big tears in his eyes. + +"Of course, Ben, I will help you. Don't worry, we will go to the nurse and she will make your knee better. Come on, let's go," Lila says. She helps Ben stand up and walk. She holds his hand and wipes his tears. + +They leave the hill and the flowers. They say goodbye to the sun. They go to the nurse and she puts a bandage on Ben's knee. She gives him a sticker and a hug. He feels better and says thank you. + +Lila and Ben are still friends. They play in the park again. But they are more careful on the hill. They raise their arms and say hello to the sun. But they also watch their steps and hold each other's hand. They are happy and safe. +Lily was very tired after playing all day with her toys. She wanted to nap, but she was afraid of the dark. She asked her mom to stay with her until she fell asleep. + +"Mom, can you stay with me? I don't like the dark. There might be ghosts," Lily said. + +"There are no ghosts, sweetie. The dark is just the night, and the night is your friend. It helps you rest and dream," Mom said. + +"But what if I see a ghost? What do they look like?" Lily asked. + +"Ghosts are not real, honey. They are just stories. But if you want to know, they look like pale people with no feet. They float in the air and make noises," Mom said. + +"That sounds scary. I don't want to see a pale person with no feet. I want to see you," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She sang her a lullaby and stroked her hair. Lily felt safe and warm. She closed her eyes and drifted into sleep. + +Mom kissed Lily on the forehead and turned on the night light. She left the room quietly and closed the door. + +Lily was napping peacefully, when she heard a noise. She opened her eyes and saw a pale person with no feet floating in the air. It was a ghost! + +Lily screamed and hid under the covers. She wished Mom was there. She was very scared. + +The ghost heard Lily scream and felt sorry. It did not want to scare her. It just wanted to say hello. It floated closer to the bed and peeked under the covers. + +"Hi, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you. I'm a friendly ghost. I just wanted to nap with you," the ghost said. + +Lily saw the ghost's face and saw that it was smiling. It did not look mean or scary. It looked sad and lonely. + +"Hi, ghost. Why are you sad and lonely?" Lily asked. + +"Because I have no friends. No one wants to play with me. They are all afraid of me," the ghost said. + +"That's not nice. I'll be your friend. You can play with me and my toys. And you can nap with me, too," Lily said. + +The ghost smiled and thanked Lily. It crawled under the covers and cuddled with Lily. They both felt happy and warm. They closed their eyes and drifted into sleep. + +Lily and the ghost became friends. They napped together every night and played together every day. They were not afraid of the dark or the light. They were happy. +Tom and Jen are playing in the living room. They see a big ashtray on the table. It is shiny and round and has many colors. They want to touch it and see what it is. + +"Look, Jen, a pretty thing!" Tom says. He reaches for the ashtray. + +"Wait, Tom, don't!" Jen says. She remembers what Mom said. "Mom said it is not for us. It is for Dad. He puts his sticks in it. The sticks make smoke and smell bad." + +Tom does not listen. He grabs the ashtray and lifts it up. But it is heavy and slippery. He drops it on the floor. It breaks into many pieces. Some pieces are sharp and cut his hand. He cries out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Jen, it hurts!" Tom says. He shows his hand to Jen. It has blood on it. + +"Oh, no, Tom, you are hurt!" Jen says. She feels sorry for Tom. She runs to the kitchen and gets a towel. She wraps it around Tom's hand. "It is okay, Tom, it will stop. We will tell Mom. She will make it better." + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the broken ashtray and the blood. She is angry and sad. + +"Tom, Jen, what did you do?" Mom says. "That was Dad's ashtray. He liked it very much. It was a gift from his friend. And now it is gone. And you are hurt, Tom. How could you be so careless?" + +Tom and Jen are scared and sorry. They look at Mom with big eyes. They say in a small voice: + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to. We just wanted to see it. It was so pretty. We did not know it was sharp. We did not know it was Dad's. We are sorry, Mom. Please don't be mad." + +Mom sighs and hugs them. She is still angry and sad, but she loves them. She says in a soft voice: + +"I know, my loves, I know. You did not mean to. But you have to be careful. Some things are not for you. Some things are sharp and can hurt you. Some things are special and can make people happy or sad. You have to ask before you touch. You have to listen when I tell you. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Jen nod and say: + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We will be careful. We will ask. We will listen. We love you, Mom." + +Mom smiles and says: + +"I love you too, my loves. Now let's clean up this mess. And then we will call Dad and tell him what happened. Maybe he will not be too mad. Maybe he will understand too." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and games. One day, they find a big machine in the park. The machine has many buttons and lights. It looks fun. + +"Can we play with the machine?" Tom asks Mia. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is not for kids," Mia says. + +But Tom is curious. He wants to see what the machine can do. He pushes a button. The machine makes a loud noise. It starts to move. It shakes and spins. It throws out balls and bubbles. + +"Wow! This is a playful machine!" Tom says. He laughs and catches the balls and bubbles. + +Mia is scared. She thinks the machine is too wild. She does not like the noise and the movement. She wants to stop the machine. + +"Tom, let's go. This machine is not good. It might break or hurt us," Mia suggests. + +But Tom does not listen. He pushes another button. The machine makes a louder noise. It moves faster. It throws out more balls and bubbles. It also throws out water and confetti. + +"Yay! This is a playful machine!" Tom says. He jumps and dances in the water and confetti. + +Mia is very scared. She does not want to play with the machine anymore. She runs away. She looks for help. + +"Help! Help! There is a bad machine in the park!" Mia shouts. + +A man hears Mia. He sees the machine. He runs to the machine. He pushes a big red button. The machine stops. It is quiet and still. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the man asks. + +Mia nods. She is glad the machine is off. She hugs the man. + +"Thank you, mister. You saved us from the machine," Mia says. + +Tom is sad. He liked the machine. He thought it was fun. + +"Aw, why did you stop the machine? It was a playful machine," Tom says. + +The man shakes his head. He smiles. + +"Sorry, kid. That machine is not for playing. It is for cleaning. It cleans the park. It throws out water and confetti to make the park look nice. But it is not safe for kids. You should not touch it. You could get hurt or make a mess," the man explains. + +Tom and Mia look at the park. They see the balls and bubbles and water and confetti everywhere. They see the people and the animals looking at them. They feel sorry. + +"Oops. We did not know. We are sorry, mister. We are sorry, park," Tom and Mia say. + +The man nods. He helps them clean up the park. He teaches them how to use the machine properly. He lets them push the buttons once more. But only the right ones. + +Tom and Mia learn a lesson. They do not play with machines they do not know. They listen to their friends' suggestions. They respect the park and the people and the animals. They still have fun. But in a safe and good way. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is brown and black. He has a long tail and a wet nose. + +"Hello, doggy!" Lily says. She runs to the dog and tries to hug him. The dog wags his tail and licks her face. + +"Can we pet him?" Ben asks. He walks to the dog and touches his fur. The dog barks and shakes his head. + +"His name is Coco," a voice says. Lily and Ben look up and see a boy. He is holding a leash. "He likes chocolate, but he can't have it. It makes him sick." + +"Chocolate?" Lily says. She loves chocolate. She has a chocolate bar in her pocket. She takes it out and shows it to the dog. "Do you want some, Coco?" + +"No, no, no!" the boy says. He runs to Lily and takes the chocolate bar. "You can't give him that. It's bad for him. He might get very ill." + +"I'm sorry," Lily says. She feels sad. She didn't know chocolate was bad for dogs. She likes Coco. She wants him to be happy. + +"It's okay," the boy says. He smiles and gives Lily and Ben a piece of the chocolate bar. "You can have some. It's good for you. And you can play with Coco. He likes you. He just doesn't like chocolate." + +Lily and Ben smile too. They eat the chocolate and pet Coco. They play with him and the boy. They have fun in the park. They like Coco. He is a big, hairy, friendly dog. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of junk near the swings. They want to see what is in the junk. + +"Look, Tom, a bike!" Lila says. She runs to the junk and pulls out a bike. The bike is old and rusty. The wheels are flat and the chain is broken. + +"Can we ride it?" Tom asks. He runs to Lila and the bike. + +"No, Tom, it is too slow. And it is dirty. We need a better bike," Lila says. She throws the bike back to the junk. + +"Maybe there is something else in the junk. Let's look," Tom says. He and Lila dig in the junk. They find a doll, a hat, a ball, and a book. But they are all torn and dirty. + +"This junk is no fun. Let's go to the slide," Lila says. She and Tom leave the junk and run to the slide. They slide down and laugh. They have more fun on the slide than with the junk. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, they found a big box in the closet. It was full of old clothes and hats and shoes. They decided to play dress-up. + +Tom put on a black hat and a long coat. He pretended to be a spy. He watched the door and the window. He said, "Shh, Anna, we have to be quiet. There are bad guys outside." + +Anna put on a red dress and a shiny necklace. She pretended to be a princess. She watched herself in the mirror. She said, "Wow, Tom, I look so pretty. Look at my dress. It is made of velvet. It is so soft and smooth." + +Tom and Anna played for a long time. They had fun. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not hear the doorbell ringing. They did not hear the loud bark of their dog, Spot. + +But they heard a loud scream. It came from the living room. They ran to see what was wrong. They saw their mom holding her head. She looked angry and scared. They saw Spot on the couch. He had torn apart the red dress and the shiny necklace. He had made a big mess. + +"Spot, no!" Tom and Anna shouted. "That was our dress-up! That was our velvet!" + +Mom looked at them. She said, "Oh, no. I'm sorry, kids. That was my dress-up. That was my velvet. That was my grandmother's dress and necklace. They were very old and very special. How did you find them?" + +Tom and Anna felt bad. They did not know. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We found them in the big box in the closet. We thought they were for playing." + +Mom sighed. She said, "No, they were not for playing. They were for keeping. They were a gift from my grandmother. She gave them to me before she died. She told me to take good care of them. They were very precious to her and to me." + +Tom and Anna hugged their mom. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We did not mean to hurt you. We did not know. We love you." + +Mom hugged them back. She said, "I love you, too. I know you did not mean to hurt me. But you have to be more careful. You have to ask before you take things. You have to respect other people's things. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will be more careful. We will ask before we take things. We will respect other people's things." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, let's go and have some lunch. And then, we can clean up this mess. And maybe, we can find some other things to play dress-up with. Things that are not so old and so special." + +Tom and Anna smiled, too. They said, "Okay, mom. Let's go and have some lunch. And then, we can clean up this mess. And maybe, we can find some other things to play dress-up with. Things that are not so old and so special." +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big gray bird in the sky. It is a hawk. + +"Look, Ann, a hawk!" Tom says. "It is very fast and strong." + +"Yes, Tom, it is. Do you know where it lives?" Ann asks. + +Tom thinks. He remembers what his dad told him. "It lives in the east, where the sun comes up. It makes a nest on a high tree or a cliff." + +"Wow, that is far away. How does it find its way?" Ann wonders. + +Tom shrugs. He does not know. He has an idea. He picks up a stick and ties a red ribbon to it. He waves it in the air. + +"Hey, hawk, look at this! Do you like it?" he calls. + +The hawk sees the stick and the ribbon. It is curious. It flies closer to Tom and Ann. It snatches the stick with its claws and flies away. + +"Hey, it took our stick!" Tom says. "That is not nice." + +Ann laughs. She is not angry. She thinks the hawk likes their gift. "Maybe it will send it back to us someday. Or maybe it will use it to decorate its nest." + +Tom smiles. He likes that idea. He and Ann wave to the hawk as it flies to the east. They hope it will be happy. They go back to playing in the park. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toy yacht in the bathtub. They liked to make it sail and splash in the water. They pretended they were pirates and explorers. + +"Look, Mia, I found a treasure island!" Tom said, pointing to a soap bar. "Let's go and dig for gold!" + +"Okay, Tom, but be careful not to drop the yacht!" Mia said. She held the yacht with both hands and followed Tom to the soap bar. + +Tom used a plastic spoon to scoop some soap and put it in a cup. He said, "This is our gold, Mia. We are rich!" + +Mia smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, we are rich! But where is the yacht?" + +They looked around and saw that the yacht was not in the bathtub. It was on the floor, next to the toilet. It had fallen out of Mia's hands when she was scooping soap. + +"Oh no, Tom, I dropped the yacht!" Mia cried. "It's broken!" + +Tom ran to the yacht and saw that it had a crack in its hull. He felt sad and angry. He said, "Mia, you are so clumsy! You ruined our yacht! You are a bad pirate!" + +Mia felt sad and sorry. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to drop the yacht. I was just trying to help you. Please don't be mad at me!" + +Tom and Mia looked at each other and saw that they both had tears in their eyes. They realized that they were not having fun anymore. They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry, I love you." + +They decided to fix the yacht with some tape and glue. They also shared their soap gold and played together again. They learned that their yacht was not as important as their friendship. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in the woods near their house. One day, they find a big log. They want to roll it down the hill. + +"Let's roll the log, Sue!" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom!" Sue says. + +They push the log with their hands. The log starts to move. It goes faster and faster. It makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says. + +But the log is too big and too fast. It hits a tree. The tree falls down. It blocks the road. A car is coming. The car stops. The driver is angry. He gets out of the car. He sees Tom and Sue. + +"Who did this?" he shouts. "Who rolled the log?" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They hide behind a bush. They do not answer. + +The driver is deaf. He cannot hear them. He thinks they are rude. He walks to the bush. He finds them. + +"I will punish you!" he says. "You are bad children!" + +He grabs them by their arms. He drags them to his car. He puts them in the back seat. He drives away. + +Tom and Sue cry. They want to go home. They do not know what will happen to them. They hope someone will help them. +Lily had a boo-boo on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. It hurt a lot and she cried. Mommy came and gave her a hug and a kiss. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your boo-boo will heal soon. Let me get you a band-aid and some ice." + +Mommy went to the refrigerator and took out a bag of frozen peas. She wrapped it in a towel and put it on Lily's knee. She said, "This will make your boo-boo feel better. It will make the swelling go down and the pain go away. You are a brave girl, Lily." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best. Can I have a cookie, too?" Mommy smiled and said, "Sure, you can have a cookie. But only one, okay? You need to eat healthy food to help your boo-boo heal faster." She gave Lily a cookie and a glass of milk. She said, "Now, why don't you rest on the couch and watch some cartoons? I will check on you later." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy. I love you." She ate her cookie and drank her milk. She felt a little better. She watched some cartoons and laughed. She felt sleepy and tired. She closed her eyes and snuggled with her teddy bear. She hoped her boo-boo would heal soon. She dreamed of riding her bike again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made snowballs and threw them at each other. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was black and furry and had a loud bark. Lily was scared of the dog. She ran behind the snowman and hid. + +"Tom, help me! The dog is coming!" she cried. + +Tom looked at the dog. He was not scared. He liked dogs. He thought the dog wanted to play. + +"Hi, doggy! Do you want to play with us?" he said. + +The dog wagged his tail and ran to Tom. He licked Tom's face and jumped on him. Tom fell on the snow and giggled. + +"Lily, come out! The dog is nice! He is not mean!" he said. + +Lily peeked from behind the snowman. She saw Tom and the dog playing. She felt a little less scared. She came out slowly and walked to Tom. + +"Are you sure he is nice?" she asked. + +"Yes, he is! Look, he likes you too!" Tom said. + +The dog sniffed Lily and licked her hand. Lily smiled and petted the dog. The dog was warm and soft. + +"Maybe he is nice. He is a good doggy," she said. + +They played with the dog for a while. They threw snowballs and the dog chased them. They made the dog wear the hat and the scarf. They hugged the dog and thanked him for playing with them. + +The snow was icy and cold, but they felt warm and happy. They felt a lot of wonder and joy. They did not want to surrender their fun. They wanted to play with the dog forever. +Lila and Sam are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and splash in the water. They see big waves coming and going. They hear the waves make a loud sound. + +"Look, Lila, the waves are saying hello!" Sam says. + +"Hello, waves!" Lila says. She waves her hand at the water. + +"Can you repeat what the waves say?" Sam asks. + +Lila listens to the waves. She hears them go "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". + +"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Lila repeats. + +"Good job, Lila! You sound like a wave!" Sam says. + +They laugh and clap their hands. + +Mom and Dad come to join them. They have a big towel and a picnic basket. + +"Are you ready to eat, kids?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, we are ready!" Lila and Sam say. + +They sit on the towel and open the basket. They see sandwiches, fruits, cookies, and juice. + +"Yummy, yummy, yummy!" Lila and Sam say. + +They eat and drink and enjoy the sun. They thank Mom and Dad for the food. + +"Can we play some more, please?" Lila and Sam ask. + +"Sure, you can play some more. But be careful of the waves, okay?" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We will be careful." Lila and Sam say. + +They run back to the water and have more fun. They wave at the waves and repeat their sound. They are happy and silly. They love the beach. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big wreck in the yard. It is an old car that does not work. It has no wheels, no doors, and no windows. + +"Wow, look at this wreck!" Tom says. "It is so cool!" + +"Can we play with it?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Tom says. "Let's pretend we are fixing it." + +They climb on the wreck and pretend to be mechanics. They use sticks and stones as tools. They make noises like engines and horns. + +A man comes out of the house. He is bald. He is angry. He sees the boys on the wreck. + +"Hey, you two! Get off my wreck!" he yells. "That is not a toy! That is my car!" + +Tom and Ben are scared. They jump off the wreck and run away. + +"Sorry, mister!" they say. "We did not know it was your car!" + +They run back to their own yard. They are sad. They liked the wreck. + +"Maybe we can find another wreck to play with," Tom says. + +"Or maybe we can gain a new car," Ben says. + +"How can we gain a new car?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "But it would be fun." +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy ship in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were pirates and sailors, and they made loud noises with their mouths. Sara was the captain and Ben was the first mate. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big fish!" Sara said, pointing to a rubber duck. "Let's catch it and eat it for dinner!" + +"Arrr, yes, captain!" Ben said, grabbing a plastic spoon. "But be careful, it might bite!" + +They moved their ship closer to the duck and tried to scoop it up with the spoon. But the duck was slippery and it kept floating away. Sara and Ben laughed and splashed each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Time to get out, kids!" she said. "The water is getting cold and you need to dry off and get ready for bed." + +"Aww, mom, can we play a little longer?" Sara asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's late and you have school tomorrow. Come on, let me help you with your towels." + +Sara and Ben sighed and got out of the bathtub. They wrapped themselves in their towels and hugged their mom. + +"Thank you for letting us play, mom," Ben said. + +"Yes, thank you, mom," Sara said. "We had a lot of fun with our ship." + +They followed their mom to their bedroom, where they put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. Their mom tucked them in and kissed them goodnight. + +"Sleep tight, my little pirates," she said. "I love you very much." + +"We love you too, mom," Sara and Ben said. + +They snuggled with their stuffed animals and closed their eyes. They dreamed of sailing on their ship and having more adventures. + +But they did not know that their toy ship was still in the bathtub. And it was dead. The water had made it sink to the bottom and it could not float anymore. It was sad and lonely and wished it could hug Sara and Ben again. +Anna loved her pet. Her pet was a bird. But not a normal bird. Her pet was a parrot. A parrot that could talk. Anna named her pet Zoom, because he liked to fly fast and make noises. + +One day, Anna and Zoom went to the park. They saw many other pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Zoom was curious. He wanted to talk to them. He flew to a dog and said, "Hello, dog. What is your name?" + +The dog was surprised. He barked, "Woof, woof. Who are you? You are not a dog. You are a bird. A bird that can talk. How unusual!" + +Zoom was not scared. He said, "I am Zoom. I am a parrot. I can talk. I am Anna's pet. She is my friend. She is over there. Do you want to meet her?" + +The dog was friendly. He said, "Sure, I want to meet her. My name is Spot. I am Tom's pet. He is my friend. He is over there. Come, let's go together." + +Zoom and Spot flew and ran to Anna and Tom. They introduced themselves. Anna and Tom were happy. They liked each other's pets. They played together in the park. They had fun. Zoom and Spot became friends too. They learned new words from each other. They zoomed around the park, making noises and laughing. They were unusual pets, but they were happy pets. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They want to escape. They run to the slide. The slide is fast. They slide down and run to the gate. The dog is behind them. + +They reach the gate. But the gate is locked. They cannot open it. They have to wait. They hope someone will help them. + +They see a man. The man has a key. He sees the dog. He opens the gate. He tells Lily and Tom to come. They run to the man. The man is nice. He hugs them and says they are brave. + +The dog is still barking. But it cannot reach them. Lily and Tom are safe. They thank the man. They go home with the man. They tell their moms and dads what happened. They are happy. They are still friends. +Tom is a mouse who likes to drink milk. He lives in a big house with many people and cats. He is very careful when he goes out of his hole to find milk. He waits until the people and cats are asleep or away. + +One night, Tom sees a big glass of milk on the table. He is very thirsty and hungry. He runs to the table and climbs on a chair. He reaches for the glass of milk with his paws. He is very happy. + +But then he hears a loud meow. He looks up and sees a big cat on the other side of the table. The cat sees him too and jumps on the table. Tom is very scared. He drops the glass of milk and it breaks on the floor. The cat chases him and tries to catch him. + +Tom runs as fast as he can. He jumps off the table and runs to his hole. He dodges the cat's claws and teeth. He makes it to his hole and hides inside. He is safe. + +The cat is angry and hungry. He scratches and bites the hole, but he cannot get in. He gives up and walks away. He looks for another mouse or some food. + +Tom is still scared and thirsty. He hears the people wake up and see the mess on the floor. They are not happy. They clean up the glass and the milk. They wonder who did it. + +Tom waits until they are gone. He comes out of his hole and looks for some water. He finds a small bowl of water in the corner. He drinks some water and feels better. He is fine. He thinks he will not try to drink milk again. He thinks water is good enough for him. He goes back to his hole and sleeps. He dreams of cheese. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is in the hole. + +"Let's go and look," Anna says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They run to the hole and look inside. They see something shiny and round. It is a ball. But it is not like any ball they have seen before. It is different. It has many colors and makes a funny sound when they touch it. + +"Wow, what is this?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a magic ball," Ben says. + +They take the ball out of the hole and play with it. They throw it, catch it, roll it, and bounce it. The ball makes them happy. They laugh and smile. + +"Let's name the ball," Anna says. + +"OK, what name do you want?" Ben asks. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the colors of the ball. She says, "How about Rainbow?" + +"Rainbow, I like it," Ben says. + +They hug the ball and say, "Hello, Rainbow. You are our new friend." + +They play with Rainbow until it is time to go home. They put Rainbow back in the hole and say, "Bye, Rainbow. We will come back tomorrow." + +They wave to the ball and run to their moms. They are happy. They have found a different and wonderful thing in the hole. They can't wait to play with Rainbow again. +Lila and Ben were friends who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals and help their parents with the crops. One day, they saw a big truck bring some wheat to the farm. Wheat was a plant that they used to make bread and other foods. + +"Wow, look at all the wheat!" Lila said. "It looks so yummy and golden. I wish we could have some." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe we can ask our parents if we can have some for a snack." + +They ran to their parents, who were busy working in the field. They asked them if they could have some wheat. Their parents smiled and said yes, but they had to be careful and not eat too much. + +Lila and Ben were very happy. They took some wheat and ran to the barn, where they found a bucket of water. They decided to drink some water and eat some wheat. They thought it would be a delicious treat. + +They drank some water and took a bite of the wheat. But they did not like it. The wheat was hard and dry and made their mouths hurt. They tried to chew it, but it was too tough. They spit it out and made a face. + +"Yuck, this wheat is awful!" Lila said. "It does not taste like bread at all. How can our parents eat this?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they cook it or grind it or something. But I don't want any more of this. Let's go find something else to eat." + +They left the wheat and the water and ran to the orchard, where they saw some apples and pears. They picked some fruits and ate them. They were juicy and sweet and made them happy. They forgot about the wheat and the water. + +But they did not see that the animals had followed them to the barn. The animals saw the wheat and the water and were very happy. They ate the wheat and drank the water and thanked Lila and Ben for sharing. They thought it was a delicious treat. + +The moral of the story is: Different things are good for different creatures. What you like may not be what others like, and what others like may not be what you like. You should not be envious of what others have, but be grateful for what you have. +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. But today, the sun was not there. The sky was gloomy and gray. It was going to rain. + +Tom and Anna did not want to stay inside. They put on their boots and coats and went out. They saw a big puddle on the ground. They ran to it and jumped in. They made a big splash. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. They were scared. They ran back to the house. They knocked on the door. Mom opened it and let them in. She gave them a hug and a towel. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. + +"Yes, we are okay," Tom and Anna said. + +"Did you have fun in the puddle?" she asked. + +"Yes, we had fun in the puddle," Tom and Anna said. + +"But we did not like the thunder and lightning," they said. + +"I know, they can be scary," Mom said. "But they are just the sky talking. Sometimes, the sky talks loud and sometimes, it talks soft. It is not angry at you. It is just making rain for the flowers and the trees." + +Tom and Anna looked out the window. They saw the rain falling on the ground. They saw the flowers and the trees. They smiled. + +"Can we go out again when the sky talks soft?" they asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mom said. "But first, let's have some hot chocolate and cookies. They will make you feel warm and cozy." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. They felt warm and cozy. They were happy. +Ben and Jen were playing with their cars on the smooth floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They heard a loud noise outside. It was the wind. It was very strong and scary. + +"Mom, what is that?" Ben asked. + +"It's a tornado, honey. We have to go to the basement now. Come on, Jen, grab your car," Mom said. + +Ben and Jen followed Mom to the basement. They saw Dad there. He had a flashlight and a radio. He hugged them and said, "Don't worry, we'll be safe here. The tornado will go away soon." + +They waited in the basement for a long time. They heard the wind howl and the house shake. They played with their cars and told stories. They hoped the tornado would not delay their dinner. + +Finally, the wind stopped. Dad turned on the radio and said, "The tornado is gone. It's safe to go upstairs now." + +Ben and Jen were happy. They ran upstairs with Mom and Dad. They saw that the tornado had made a big mess. Some trees were broken and some roofs were gone. But their house was still there. They were glad. + +Mom said, "Let's have some pizza for dinner. We deserve a treat after this." + +Ben and Jen agreed. They liked pizza. They said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for keeping us safe." + +They ate their pizza and smiled. They were not afraid of the tornado anymore. They were a brave family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to hide behind it and scare their friends. + +They ran to the tree and hid. They waited for their friends to come. They heard some steps. They smiled and got ready to jump out. + +But it was not their friends. It was a large witch with a long nose and a black hat. She had a big bag on her back. She looked angry and mean. + +"Who are you?" she asked in a loud voice. "What are you doing here?" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to say. They wished their friends were here. + +The witch opened her bag. She took out a big book and a small bottle. She said some strange words. She pointed at Lily and Ben. + +"Ha ha ha!" she laughed. "You are my new pets. I will turn you into frogs and keep you in my bag. You will never see your friends again." + +Lily and Ben did not want to be frogs. They wanted to run away. But they were too afraid to move. + +Suddenly, they heard a whistle. It was their teacher, Mr. Lee. He had come to the park with their friends. He saw the witch and the children. + +"Hey, you!" he shouted. "Leave those kids alone! They are not your pets. They are my students. Go away, you nasty witch!" + +The witch was surprised. She did not like Mr. Lee. She did not like his whistle. She did not like his voice. + +She threw her book and her bottle at him. But Mr. Lee was quick. He dodged them and ran to the tree. He grabbed Lily and Ben and pulled them out. + +"Are you okay?" he asked them. "Don't worry, I'm here. You are safe now." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy to see Mr. Lee. They hugged him and thanked him. + +The witch was angry. She wanted to get her book and her bottle back. But she saw that they had fallen into a puddle. They were wet and ruined. + +She screamed and stamped her feet. She said some more strange words. She tried to appear somewhere else. But nothing happened. + +She was stuck in the park. She had no magic. She had no pets. She had no friends. + +Lily, Ben, Mr. Lee and their friends laughed at her. They went back to their bus and left the park. They had a fun day. They did not see the witch again. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival had many fun things. There were balloons, games, rides, and candy. Lily and Tom wanted to try everything. + +They ran to the big wheel first. They waited in line with Mom and Dad. They saw the wheel go round and round. They saw the people on the wheel scream and laugh. They wanted to go on the wheel too. + +But when they got to the front of the line, the man said, "Sorry, kids. You are too small for the wheel. You have to be this tall." He pointed to a sign with a line. Lily and Tom were much shorter than the line. + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to go on the wheel. They looked at Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad looked sad too. They said, "We're sorry, kids. Maybe next year you will be big enough." + +Lily and Tom sighed. They walked away from the wheel. They saw another ride. It was a train. The train had many cars. The cars had animals on them. There were lions, bears, elephants, and monkeys. Lily and Tom liked animals. They wanted to go on the train. + +They ran to the train. They waited in line with Mom and Dad. They saw the train go choo-choo. They saw the people on the train wave and smile. They wanted to go on the train too. + +When they got to the front of the line, the man said, "Welcome, kids. You can go on the train. You can choose any car you like. Have fun!" + +Lily and Tom felt happy. They thanked the man. They chose a car with a monkey on it. They climbed on the car. They held Mom and Dad's hands. They heard the whistle blow. They felt the train move. They waved and smiled. + +They went on the train. They saw the festival. They saw the balloons, the games, the rides, and the candy. They saw the people. The people saw them. They all said, "Hello, hello!" + +Lily and Tom had fun. They forgot about the wheel. They enjoyed the train. They were happy. They said, "We love the festival!" +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. They have bikes with wheels. They ride fast and have fun. + +One day, Ben sees a new bike in the park. It has big wheels and a cool horn. Ben wants to try it. He says to Mia, "Look at that bike! It is so cool! Can I get it?" + +Mia says, "No, Ben. That is not your bike. That is Sam's bike. He is over there. You have to ask him first." + +Ben says, "But I really want it. It looks better than my bike. Please, Mia, let me get it." + +Mia says, "No, Ben. That is not nice. You have to share. You have to wait your turn. Maybe Sam will let you ride it later. Come on, let's go back to our bikes. They are cool too." + +Ben is sad. He still wants the new bike. But he knows Mia is right. He says, "Okay, Mia. You are a good friend. I will not get the new bike. I will play with you and our bikes. Maybe Sam will be our friend too." + +They go back to their bikes. They ride fast and have fun. They see Sam and wave to him. Sam waves back and smiles. He likes Ben and Mia. He thinks they are cool. Maybe he will let them try his bike later. They are all happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a new toy car. It is red and shiny. Mia wants to see it. + +"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Mia asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my best toy," Tom says. + +Mia takes the car and looks at it. She sees a screw on the car. It is small and silver. Mia is curious. She wants to know what the screw does. + +She pulls the screw with her fingers. It comes out of the car. The car makes a loud noise. It stops working. + +"Oh no! What did you do, Mia?" Tom cries. + +"I just wanted to see the screw. I'm sorry, Tom," Mia says. + +She tries to put the screw back in the car. But she can't. The car is broken. + +Tom is very angry. He snatches the car and the screw from Mia. He shouts at her. + +"You are a bad friend, Mia! You broke my car! Go away! I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +Mia feels sad. She runs away. She cries. + +She wishes she was more playful and less curious. She wishes she didn't break Tom's car. She wishes Tom was still her friend. +Tom was a boy who liked to bite things. He bit his toys, his books, his clothes, and sometimes even his mom and dad. He thought it was fun to make holes and marks with his teeth. But his mom and dad did not like it. They said biting was bad and hurtful, and he should stop. + +One day, Tom was playing in the bathroom. He saw the toilet and wondered how it would feel to bite it. He climbed on the seat and opened his mouth. He bit the toilet hard and felt a sharp pain. He screamed and let go. He looked at his mouth and saw blood. He had broken his tooth on the toilet. He cried and ran to his mom and dad. + +His mom and dad were shocked and worried. They took him to the doctor, who looked at his mouth and gave him a bandage. The doctor said he had to be careful with his teeth and not bite things that were not food. He said biting could damage his teeth and make him sick. He said he should use his teeth for eating, talking, and smiling, not for biting. + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized that biting was not fun, but foolish and dangerous. He said sorry to his mom and dad, and promised to never bite anything again. He learned his lesson the hard way. He also learned to be more gentle and kind with his toys, his books, his clothes, and his mom and dad. He did not want to hurt them or himself. + +The moral of the story is: Biting is bad and can hurt you and others. You should use your teeth for good things, not for bad things. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small bike.

They are mine now." + +Tom and Lily are scared. They say, "No, they are not yours. They are ours. We share them. You are not nice. Go away." + +The big boy does not listen. He pushes Tom and Lily and grabs the ball and bike. He runs away. Tom and Lily are sad. They cry. + +A man sees what happens. He is a law man. He wears a badge and a hat. He runs after the big boy. He catches him and takes the ball and bike back. He says, "You are bad. You cannot take things that are not yours. That is against the law. You have to say sorry and go home." + +The big boy is sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I will not do it again." He gives the ball and bike back to Tom and Lily. He goes home. + +The law man gives Tom and Lily a hug. He says, "You are good. You are brave. You support each other. That is what friends do. I am proud of you. Here, have a mild candy. It is sweet and good for you." + +Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Thank you, law man. You are kind. You help us. You are our friend too." They take the mild candy and share it. They play with the ball and bike again. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They had to pack their luggage with clothes, toys and books. Lily wanted to create a picture for her grandma, who lived far away. She took out her crayons and paper and drew a big heart with flowers and stars. + +"Look, Tom, this is for grandma. Do you want to help me?" Lily asked her brother. + +Tom was busy playing with his cars. He did not want to create anything. He said, "No, I don't. I want to play. You are silly, Lily. Grandma won't like your picture. It is ugly and sour." + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She said, "No, it is not. It is pretty and sweet. Grandma will love it. You are mean, Tom. You don't share and you don't care." + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's picture and smiled. She said, "Lily, your picture is beautiful. I'm sure grandma will be very happy to see it. You are very kind and creative, Lily. I'm proud of you." + +She looked at Tom and frowned. She said, "Tom, you should not say such rude things to your sister. You should apologize and help her. You should also create something for grandma. She will miss you and want to know what you are doing. You should be nice and thoughtful, Tom. That's how you show love." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are not silly. Your picture is not ugly and sour. It is pretty and sweet. Can I help you? Can I create something for grandma too?" + +Lily smiled and hugged him. She said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Tom.

She said she did not want to see his cars and trucks. She said her dolls were not weird and she loved them. She said Tom was rude and mean and she did not want to play with him. She told him to go away and leave her alone. + +Tom was surprised and hurt. He did not mean to make Anna cry. He thought he was being friendly and funny. He did not understand why Anna liked dolls so much. He said he was sorry and tried to explain. He said he did not have any dolls at home and he did not know how to play with them. He said he liked cars and trucks because they were fast and loud and fun. He said he wanted to share his toys with Anna and be her friend. + +Anna stopped crying and listened to Tom. She realized he was not trying to be mean. He was just different from her. She decided to give him a chance. She said she was sorry too and tried to understand. She said she liked dolls because they were pretty and soft and nice. She said she liked to pretend they were her friends and talk to them. She said she wanted to see his toys and be his friend too. + +Tom smiled and thanked Anna. He said he was glad they were neighbors and friends.

Leo was very small and cried a lot. Mira did not like it when Leo cried. She wanted to play with him and make him happy. + +One day, Mira asked her mom, "Why does Leo cry so much? Does he not like me?" Her mom smiled and hugged Mira. She said, "Leo cries because he is a baby. He does not know how to talk or do things like you. He cries to tell us what he needs. He needs milk, or a diaper, or a nap, or a cuddle. He likes you very much, but he cannot show it yet." + +Mira thought about what her mom said. She tried to understand Leo. She looked at his face and listened to his sounds. She saw that sometimes he was hungry, or wet, or sleepy, or lonely. She learned to help her mom feed him, or change him, or rock him, or sing to him. She saw that sometimes he smiled or cooed or reached for her. She learned to smile back, or talk to him, or hold his hand. She felt happy when Leo was happy. + +Mira was a humble big sister. She did not think she was better than Leo.

He picked it up and put it in his shell. + +As Timmy continued on his journey, he noticed that the eraser was making him feel funny. His shell started to ache, and he began to suffer.
