They looked like a big monster. + +The big boy was scared. He screamed and ran away. He did not come back to the park. + +Tom and Lily laughed and hugged. They were happy and proud. They had scared the big boy. They were not babies. They were ready for anything. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Be careful, okay? The tree is very high and the branches are very thin. Don't go too far," Mommy said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They felt happy and brave. They climbed higher and higher, looking for the best spot. + +"Look, Lily, I can see the birds and the clouds!" Ben said. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so high! I want to see too!" Lily said. + +She tried to follow Ben, but the branch she was on was too weak. It snapped and Lily felt a fall. She screamed and closed her eyes. + +"Mommy! Mommy! Help!"

They always had fun with them. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Mom asked. "We have to go soon." + +"Yes, Mom!" Ben and Lily said. They put on their coats and hats. They grabbed their backpacks. They had some gifts for their grandma and grandpa. They had made them with their own hands. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many trees and houses and cars on the way. They sang some songs and played some games. They asked Mom many questions. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Almost, honey," Mom said.

Lily asked. + +"You have to promise to be careful and stay together," Grandma said. "And come back when we call you." + +"OK, we promise," Ben and Lily said. They put on their shoes and ran outside.

They had a delicious dinner. They thanked their grandma and grandpa. + +"It's time to go, kids," Mom said. "We have to get back home." + +"Aw, do we have to?" Ben and Lily said.

One day, they decided to make a big picture on the street. They asked their mom if they could do it. + +"Okay, but be careful of the cars and the people," mom said. "And don't make a mess." + +Sara and Tom nodded and ran outside. They spread their paper on the street and started to draw. They drew flowers, trees, animals, and houses. They used many colors and made their picture very bright. + +An elderly lady was walking by with her dog. She saw the twins and their picture. She smiled and stopped to talk to them. + +"Hello, children. What are you doing?" she asked. + +"We are making a picture on the street," Sara said. + +"It's very pretty. What is it about?" the lady asked. + +"It's about our family and our friends and our dreams," Tom said. + +"That's wonderful. You have a lot of imagination and talent," the lady said. "Can I take a photo of your picture and you?" + +"Sure," Sara and Tom said. They posed next to their picture and smiled.

She waved and walked away with her dog. + +Sara and Tom waved back and continued their picture. They were happy and proud. They liked to make art on the street. +Anna and Ben are playing with crayons in the living room. They like to draw pictures of animals and cars and flowers. Anna has a red crayon and Ben has a blue crayon. They share the other colors. + +"Look, Anna, I drew a big fish!" Ben says, holding up his paper. + +"That's nice, Ben," Anna says, but she does not look at his fish. She is busy drawing a house with a garden. + +"Anna, do you want to see my fish?" Ben asks again, moving closer to her. + +"No, thank you, Ben," Anna says, and she ignores him. She does not want to see his fish. She thinks her house is better. + +Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like it when Anna ignores him. He wants her to look at his fish and say something nice. He thinks his fish is better. + +He decides to do something bad. He takes his blue crayon and scribbles over Anna's house. He makes a big mess on her paper. + +"Hey, stop that!" Anna shouts, and she pushes him away. She sees what he did to her house and she cries. She does not like it when Ben ruins her drawing. She thinks he is mean. + +"Mommy, mommy, Ben scribbled on my house!" Anna runs to her mommy, who is in the kitchen. She shows her the paper and the crayon. + +Mommy looks at the paper and the crayon. She sees the fish and the house and the scribbles. She is not happy. + +"Ben, come here, please," Mommy says, in a stern voice. + +Ben comes slowly, with his head down. He knows he did something bad. He is afraid of Mommy. + +"Ben, why did you scribble on Anna's house?" Mommy asks. + +"Because she ignored me," Ben says, in a small voice. + +"Ben, that is not a good reason. You should not ruin someone else's drawing. That is not nice. You should say sorry to Anna and give her a hug," Mommy says. + +Ben looks at Anna, who is still crying. He feels sorry for what he did. He does not want to make her cry. He wants to be friends again. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says, and he gives her a hug. + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Anna says, and she hugs him back. + +Mommy smiles and gives them both a kiss. She gives them new papers and crayons. She tells them to play nicely and share. + +Anna and Ben nod and say yes. They go back to the living room and draw new pictures. They look at each other's pictures and say something nice. They do not ignore each other. They are happy and safe. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a bottle of medicine in their mom's room. It was red and shiny and had a picture of a flower on it. + +"Let's drink some," Ben said. "Maybe it will make us strong and happy." + +"No, Ben, that's not for us," Lily said. "Mom said medicine is only for when we are sick. It could make us feel bad or vanish." + +"Vanish? What does that mean?" Ben asked. + +"It means go away and not come back," Lily said. "Like the bird that flew out of the window." + +Ben did not believe Lily. He thought she was just scared. He opened the bottle and drank some of the medicine. It tasted sweet and sour. + +"See, it's not bad," Ben said. "It's yummy. You try some too." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to drink the medicine. She wanted to tell mom, but mom was in the kitchen making lunch. + +Ben drank some more of the medicine. He felt warm and dizzy. He smiled at Lily. + +"I feel funny," he said. "Do you see the colors? They are so pretty." + +Lily saw that Ben's face was red and his eyes were wide. She was worried. She ran to the kitchen and called mom. + +"Mom, mom, come quick!" she said. "Ben drank some of your medicine and he's acting weird." + +Mom dropped what she was doing and ran to her room. She saw Ben lying on the bed, not moving. She felt his pulse and his breath. He had none. He had vanished. + +Mom screamed and cried. She hugged Ben and tried to wake him up. But he did not wake up. He was gone. + +Lily cried too. She wished she had stopped Ben from drinking the medicine. She wished she had been more gentle with him. She wished he was still here. She missed him so much. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers, bridges and houses with different colors and shapes. Sometimes they count how many blocks they have. They know some numbers, like one, two, three and four. + +One day, they find a new box of blocks in the playroom. The box has a picture of a big castle on it. Lily and Ben want to build the castle. They open the box and see many blocks inside. Some blocks have letters and numbers on them. + +"Look, Ben, this block has a letter A and a number one," Lily says, holding a blue block. + +"And this one has a letter B and a number two," Ben says, holding a red block. + +They start to build the castle, following the picture on the box. They put the blocks with letters and numbers in the right places. They have to include all the blocks to make the castle complete. + +But the castle is difficult to build. There are many blocks and some are very small. Lily and Ben have to be careful not to knock down the blocks. They also have to learn some new numbers, like five, six, seven and eight. + +"Ben, can you pass me the block with a letter C and a number three?" Lily asks. + +"Here you go, Lily," Ben says, handing her a yellow block. + +They work hard and have fun. After a while, they finish the castle. It looks like the picture on the box. They are very proud of their work. + +"Wow, Lily, we did it! We built the castle!" Ben says. + +"Yes, we did, Ben! We are good at blocks and numbers!" Lily says. + +They hug each other and smile. They like to play with blocks and learn new things. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with many blueberries. They are hungry and want to eat some. + +"Look, Ben, blueberries!" Lily says. "They are sweet and good. Can we have some?" + +"Yes, Lily, let's pick some. But be careful, some are green. They are not ripe. They are sour and bad." Ben says. + +They pick some blueberries and put them in a basket. They find a nice spot under a tree and sit down. They eat some blueberries and smile. + +"These are yummy, Lily. I like blueberries." Ben says. + +"Me too, Ben. I have an idea. Let's make something with blueberries. Like a cake or a pie." Lily says. + +"How do we make a cake or a pie, Lily? We need flour and eggs and sugar and butter and a oven. We don't have those things here." Ben says. + +"We can pretend, Ben. We can use leaves and sticks and stones and water and our imagination. It will be fun." Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, let's pretend. You be the chef and I be the helper. What do we need first?" Ben says. + +Lily and Ben start to make their pretend cake or pie with blueberries. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and talk and sing. They don't notice that a squirrel is watching them. The squirrel likes blueberries too. It sneaks up to their basket and takes some blueberries. It runs away and hides in the tree. It eats the blueberries and makes a funny face. Some of the blueberries are green. They are sour and bad. The squirrel spits them out and makes a noise. + +Lily and Ben hear the noise and look up. They see the squirrel and the blueberries. They are surprised and angry. + +"Hey, squirrel, that's not nice. Those are our blueberries. Give them back!" Lily says. + +"Yeah, squirrel, go away. Find your own food. Leave our blueberries alone!" Ben says. + +The squirrel is scared and sorry. It drops the blueberries and runs away. Lily and Ben pick up the blueberries and put them back in the basket. They finish their pretend cake or pie with blueberries. They pretend to eat it and share it. They say it is delicious and the best cake or pie ever. They are happy and proud. They hug and thank each other. They are good friends. They love blueberries. +Lily and Ben love ice-cream. They go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see a big ice-cream truck. Mom and Dad buy two ice-creams for them. One is chocolate and one is vanilla. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They want to eat their ice-creams. But they have a problem. Lily likes chocolate and Ben likes vanilla. They do not like the other flavor. They look at each other. They do not know what to do. + +Mom and Dad have an idea. They tell Lily and Ben to split their ice-creams. They show them how to break the cones in half. Then they give Lily half of the chocolate and half of the vanilla. They do the same for Ben. Now Lily and Ben have two flavors each. They think it is fun. + +Lily and Ben say thank you to Mom and Dad. They lick their ice-creams. They are yummy. They are ready to play in the park. They run to the swings. They are happy. They share their ice-creams. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw their shadows on the grass. They tried to catch them, but they could not. They laughed and said, "Shadows are silly!" + +Then they saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster. It had horns and teeth and claws. They were scared and ran to the house. They said, "Mum, mum, there is a monster in the garden!" + +Mum came out and looked at the wall. She smiled and said, "That is not a monster. That is your dad. He is working on the car. He has a hat and a wrench and a rag. Can you guess what he is doing?" + +Tom and Lily looked again. They saw that the shadow was not a monster. It was their dad. He was fixing the car. He was messy and dirty. They said, "Dad, dad, you are making a funny shadow!" + +Dad heard them and looked up. He waved and said, "Hello, Tom and Lily. I am almost done. Do you want to help me clean the car?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the car. They helped dad wash and dry the car. They made bubbles and splashes and giggles. They said, "We like to help dad. We like to play with shadows. We don't mind being messy!" +Lily was anxious. She wanted to make a card for her mom, but she did not know how. She had paper, crayons, scissors and glue, but she did not know what to draw or write. + +She asked her big brother Jake for help. Jake was good at making cards. He had made one for dad last week. + +"Jake, can you help me make a card for mom?" Lily said. + +"Sure, Lily. What do you want to say to mom?" Jake said. + +"I want to say I love her very much. And I want to draw a heart. Mom likes hearts." Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. I can help you with that. First, you need to fold the paper in half. Like this." Jake showed Lily how to fold the paper. "Then, you need to draw a heart on one side. Like this." Jake drew a heart with a crayon. "Then, you need to cut out the heart with the scissors. Be careful, the scissors are sharp. Like this." Jake cut out the heart with the scissors. "Then, you need to attach the heart to the other side of the paper with the glue. Like this." Jake attached the heart with the glue. + +"Wow, Jake. You are so good at making cards. Can I write something inside?" Lily said. + +"Of course, Lily. You can write whatever you want. But remember, mom can read big letters better than small letters. Like this." Jake wrote "I love you, mom" in big letters inside the card. + +"Thank you, Jake. You are the best brother ever. I think mom will love this card." Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are the best sister ever. I think mom will love this card too." Jake said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were happy. They had made a card for mom. They could not wait to give it to her. +Lily and Ben were playing with balloons in the park. They liked to blow them up and make them big and round. They also liked to bounce them in the air and catch them. + +"Look at my balloon, Lily!" Ben said. "It is so big and red!" + +"Wow, Ben, your balloon is very big!" Lily said. "But my balloon is bigger and yellow!" + +They both laughed and bounced their balloons higher and higher. They were having fun. + +But then, a loud pop made them stop. Ben's balloon had broken! It had hit a sharp branch on a tree and burst. Ben was sad. He liked his balloon. + +"Oh no, Ben, your balloon is gone!" Lily said. "I'm sorry, Ben. Do you want to share my balloon?" + +Ben looked at Lily's balloon. It was still big and yellow. He smiled. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," he said. "Can we share your balloon?" + +"Of course, Ben. We can share my balloon," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to break it too." + +They both held Lily's balloon gently and bounced it lower and lower. They were still having fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on trips with their mom and dad. One day, they went to a big park with many trees and animals. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish, and a big hill with rocks and flowers. Mom and dad said the hill was a mountain, and it was very old and strong. + +"Can we climb the mountain, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe when you are older, dear. It is too high and steep for you now. But you can look at it and learn from it. The mountain can teach you many things, like how to be patient and brave and wise." + +"How can the mountain teach us, dad?" Ben asked. + +"Well, the mountain has seen many things in its long life. It has seen the sun and the moon, the rain and the snow, the wind and the fire. It has seen people and animals come and go, and it has helped them in different ways. The mountain is very useful, because it gives them water and food and shelter and beauty." + +Lily and Ben looked at the mountain with wonder and curiosity. They wanted to know more about it and its stories. They asked mom and dad many questions, and they listened to their answers. They learned that the mountain had a name, and that it was part of a family of mountains. They learned that the mountain had friends, like the clouds and the birds and the stars. They learned that the mountain had enemies, like the storms and the earthquakes and the people who hurt it. + +They also learned that the mountain had a secret, and that only a few people knew it. Mom and dad said that the mountain had a heart, and that it could feel and think and dream. They said that the mountain had a voice, and that it could speak and sing and whisper. They said that the mountain had a gift, and that it could share and bless and heal. + +Lily and Ben wanted to see and hear and touch the mountain's heart and voice and gift. They wanted to be friends with the mountain, and to thank it for being so useful. They wanted to hear its stories, and to tell it their own. They wanted to ask the mountain for its secret, and to share it with others. + +But mom and dad said that they had to wait, and to be ready. They said that the mountain would only show and tell and give its secret to those who loved and respected and understood it. They said that the mountain would only recognize and welcome and reward those who had a pure and humble and grateful heart. + +Lily and Ben nodded, and they promised to be good and kind and brave. They looked at the mountain with love and respect and understanding. They hoped that one day, the mountain would recognize them, and share its secret with them. They hoped that one day, they would climb the mountain, and see its heart and hear its voice and touch its gift. They hoped that one day, they would be friends with the mountain, and that the mountain would be happy with them. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Lily puts a block on top of another block. Ben puts a block on top of Lily's block. They keep doing this until they have a lot of blocks. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. + +They are happy. But then, a fat cat comes into the room. The cat sees the tower. The cat wants to play with the tower. The cat jumps on the tower. The tower falls down. The blocks go everywhere. + +"Hey, bad cat!" Lily shouts. + +"Go away, cat!" Ben shouts. + +The cat does not listen. The cat chases the blocks. The cat knocks over more things. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want their tower back. + +They realize they have to work together. They get a big box. They put the box over the cat. The cat is trapped. The cat meows. + +"Ha, we got you, cat!" Lily says. + +"Now you can't ruin our tower!" Ben says. + +They get their blocks. They start to make a new tower. They are careful. They make sure the cat can't get out of the box. They are happy again. They hope the cat will learn to be nice. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and stones. One day, they found something shiny and round in the dirt. It was a pot! + +"Look, Sam, a pot!" Lily said. "Maybe there is something inside." + +They pulled the pot out of the dirt and looked inside. It was empty, but it had some pictures on it. There were animals and flowers and stars. + +"Wow, this is a pretty pot," Sam said. "Where did it come from?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe someone left it here a long time ago. Maybe it is very old and tough." + +They decided to keep the pot and use it for their games. They filled it with water and pretended it was soup. They put some leaves and flowers in it and pretended it was a salad. They had a lot of fun with the pot. + +They showed the pot to their mom and dad. They were very surprised and curious. + +"Where did you find this pot?" their mom asked. + +"In the garden," Sam said. "It was in the dirt." + +"This is a very special pot," their dad said. "It is very old and tough. It has some writing on it. It is from another country and another time. You made a great discovery!" + +Sam and Lily were very proud and happy. They learned a new word: discovery. They liked their pot even more. They decided to share it with their friends and tell them the story of how they found it. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They tried to make a pattern with the blocks, like red, blue, red, blue, or square, circle, square, circle. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from outside. It sounded like a big truck or a monster. They stopped playing and looked at each other. They felt scared and curious. They ran to the window and peeked outside. + +They saw a big bald man with a beard and a hat. He was holding a big machine that made the noise. He was blowing the leaves from the sidewalk with the machine. The leaves flew in the air and made a mess. + +"Who is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a giant or a pirate," Tom said. + +They watched the bald man for a while. He looked angry and mean. He did not smile or wave. He just blew the leaves with his machine. + +Lily and Tom felt more scared. They started to tremble. They hugged each other and hid under the bed. They hoped the bald man would go away soon. + +They waited and waited. They heard the noise stop. They heard footsteps and a door slam. They wondered if the bald man was gone. + +They crawled out from under the bed and looked out the window again. They saw the bald man get in his truck and drive away. They saw the sidewalk was clean and the leaves were gone. + +They felt relieved and happy. They smiled and cheered. + +"He is gone! He is gone!" Lily said. + +"Yay! We are safe!" Tom said. + +They ran back to their blocks and started to play again. They forgot about the bald man and his machine. They made a new pattern with the blocks, like yellow, green, yellow, green, or star, heart, star, heart. They had fun and laughed. They were not scared anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big basket of strawberries on the table. They loved strawberries. They ran to the table and each took one. + +"Yum, yum, these are so sweet and red," Lily said. + +"Let's have more," Ben said. + +They ate and ate until there were only two strawberries left. They both wanted the last two. + +"I saw them first," Lily said. + +"No, I did," Ben said. + +They started to pull and tug at the basket. They did not see the yellow bird that flew down from the tree. The bird liked strawberries too. It quickly pecked at one and flew away with it in its beak. + +"Hey, where did it go?" Lily said. + +The bird had made one strawberry disappear. + +They looked at the other strawberry. It was the biggest and juiciest one. They both reached for it at the same time. But they were too late. The yellow bird came back and snatched it too. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben said. + +The bird had made the other strawberry disappear. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They had no more strawberries. They looked at the yellow bird. It was sitting on a branch, eating the strawberries and singing. + +"Bad bird, bad bird, give us back our strawberries," they shouted. + +But the bird did not listen. It just ate and sang and ate and sang. + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They should have shared the strawberries and not fought over them. Then they would have had enough for both. And the yellow bird would not have made them disappear. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. Sara saw a shiny thing on the ground. She ran to pick it up. It was a bracelet with many colors. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Sara said. "I found a bracelet. It is so pretty. Can I keep it?" + +Ben came to see the bracelet. He liked it too. He wanted to try it on. He reached for it, but Sara pulled it away. + +"No, Ben, no!" Sara said. "It is mine. I found it. You can't have it." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to share the bracelet with Sara. He tried to talk to her, but Sara ran away. She wanted to keep the bracelet for herself. + +She ran and ran, but she did not see where she was going. She stumbled on a big rock and fell down. The bracelet flew out of her hand and landed on a tree branch. Sara hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Ben heard Sara cry. He ran to help her. He saw the bracelet on the tree. It was too high for him to reach. He looked around and saw an enormous stick. He picked it up and used it to knock the bracelet down. + +He gave the bracelet to Sara and helped her stand up. He wiped her tears and kissed her knee. + +"Here, Sara, here," Ben said. "You can have the bracelet. I am sorry I made you mad. Are you okay?" + +Sara looked at Ben and smiled. She felt sorry too. She hugged him and said thank you. + +"Thank you, Ben, thank you," Sara said. "You are a good friend. I am sorry I was mean. Do you want to share the bracelet with me?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He put the bracelet on his wrist and gave Sara his hand. + +"Yes, Sara, yes," Ben said. "I want to share the bracelet with you. Let's go play some more." + +They walked away, holding hands and wearing the bracelet. They were happy and forgot about the rock and the tree. They learned to share and be kind. +Lily and Sam like to play at the park. They run and jump and slide and laugh. The park is big and green and has many things to do. Lily and Sam's favorite thing is the swing. They take turns to push each other and go high in the air. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. The park is very busy. There are many kids and dogs and bikes and balls. Lily and Sam have to wait for a long time to use the swing. They are sad and bored. They want to have fun. + +Then, they see a big truck. The truck is red and shiny and makes a loud noise. The truck is going to the park to fix something. Lily and Sam are curious. They run after the truck. They want to see what the truck is doing. + +The truck is very fast. It speeds along the road. Lily and Sam try to keep up. They run and run and run. They forget about the swing. They forget about their mom. They only see the truck. + +But the truck is too fast. Lily and Sam get tired. They lose sight of the truck. They stop and look around. They are lost. They don't know where they are. They don't see the park. They don't see their mom. They are scared and sad. They want to go back to the swing. They want to go back to their mom. They cry and cry and cry. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with their mom. Mom is making soup for lunch. She tells Anna and Ben to help her. + +"Can you pour some water in the pot?" Mom asks. Anna nods and takes a big jug. She tries to pour the water, but it is too heavy. The water spills on the floor and on her face. She feels wet and cold. + +"Oops!" Mom says. "Be careful, Anna. The water is hot. You don't want to burn your face."

Do you have one?" asked Tom. + +Lily nodded and ran to get her rope from her backpack. She came back and gave it to Tom. Tom tried to tie the rope to the cross, but he did not know how to make a knot. He twisted and turned the rope, but it kept slipping off. + +"Tom, you are doing it wrong. Let me show you how to tie a knot," said Lily. + +Lily took the rope and made a loop. Then she put one end of the rope through the loop and pulled it tight.

It is easy and strong," said Lily. + +"Wow, you are good at tying knots. Thank you for teaching me, Lily," said Tom. + +They lifted the cross and hung it on the rope. They took turns to sit on the cross and swing back and forth. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. + +The moral of the story is: You can learn new things from your friends and have fun together. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park.

Now let's make some cheese." She pours the milk into a big pot and heats it up. She adds some salt and vinegar and stirs it. She shows Lily and Ben how to separate the curds and the whey. She puts the curds in a cloth and squeezes out the extra liquid. She shapes the cheese into a ball and wraps it in wax paper. + +Lily and Ben are very proud of their cheese. They say, "We made cheese with Snowy's milk. Can we taste it?" Mom says, "Of course, but we have to wait a little bit. The cheese needs to rest in the fridge for a while. Then we can cut some slices and eat them with bread and jam." Lily and Ben nod and hug their mom. They say, "We can't wait to try our cheese. Thank you, mom, for teaching us. And thank you, Snowy, for giving us milk." They run back to the barn and tell Snowy about their cheese. Snowy bleats and licks their faces.

"You got me!" he said. He picked up another snowball and ran after Lily. "Freeze!" + +They chased each other and threw snowballs. They had fun. They did not feel the cold. They were happy. They were regular kids. +Tim and Lily were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were doctors and nurses, and that their dolls were sick and needed help. They had a fake hospital made of cardboard and blankets, and they used toy tools and bandages to treat their dolls. + +"Your doll has a broken leg," Tim said, holding a doll with a stick taped to its leg. "She needs an x-ray and a cast." + +"OK, doctor," Lily said, nodding. "I will take her to the x-ray room." She picked up the doll and walked to a corner of the living room, where they had a cardboard box with a hole cut in it. She put the doll inside the box and pretended to push some buttons. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their baby brother, Max, who had crawled out of his crib and was banging on the pots and pans. He was making a lot of noise and laughing. + +"Max, stop it!" Tim shouted. "You are disturbing our game!" + +Lily ran to the kitchen and tried to take the pots and pans away from Max. But Max did not want to give them up. He cried and pulled them back. He threw one of them at Lily and hit her on the head. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "That hurt!" + +Tim heard Lily's cry and ran to the kitchen too. He saw Lily holding her head and Max holding a pot. He was angry at Max for hurting his sister and disturbing their game. He grabbed the pot from Max and threw it on the floor. He yelled at Max and pushed him away. + +"Bad, Max! Bad!" Tim said. "You are not a good baby! You are a fake baby!" + +Max did not understand what Tim said, but he felt scared and sad. He cried louder and louder. He wanted his mommy and daddy. + +Mommy and daddy heard the noise and came to the kitchen. They saw Tim, Lily and Max all crying and the pots and pans all over the floor. They were shocked and worried. They hugged and comforted their children and asked them what happened. + +Tim and Lily told them about their game and how Max disturbed them and hurt Lily. Mommy and daddy listened and understood. They told Tim and Lily that they were sorry for what Max did, but that they should not be mean to him. They told them that Max was not a fake baby, but a real baby who did not know any better. They told them that they should be gentle and patient with him, and share their toys with him. They told them that they loved them all very much. + +Tim and Lily felt sorry for what they did and said to Max. They apologized to him and gave him a hug. They asked him if he wanted to play with them. Max stopped crying and smiled. He nodded and crawled to the living room. He liked the dolls and the fake hospital. He wanted to be a doctor too. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big spider on a flower. The spider was yellow and black. It had eight legs and many eyes. + +"Wow, look at the spider!" Tom said. "It is so pretty and shiny!" + +"Can we keep it?" Lily asked. "We can make a home for it in a jar." + +Tom nodded. He found a jar and a lid. He put the spider in the jar and poked some holes in the lid. He gave the jar to Lily. + +"Let's show it to Mom and Dad!" Lily said.

This spider is friendly. And it is very rare. It is a yellow spider. Do you want to buy it?" + +"Buy it?" Mom and Dad said. "No, thank you. We don't want a spider in the house. You should let it go back to the garden. It belongs there." + +Tom was sad. He thought he could sell the spider and get some money. He wanted to buy a new toy. He looked at Lily. She was happy. She liked the spider. She hugged the jar. + +"Please, Mom and Dad, can we keep it?" Lily said. "We will take good care of it. We will feed it and play with it. It is our friend." + +Mom and Dad looked at each other. They smiled. + +"Okay, okay," Mom said. "You can keep the spider. But you have to keep it outside. And you have to be careful. Don't touch it or let it out of the jar. And don't sell it to anyone. It is not a toy. It is a living thing." + +Tom and Lily agreed. They thanked Mom and Dad. They took the jar outside.

"Let's go inside and act like we live here." + +"Okay, but be careful," Lily said. "The snow might fall on us." + +They crawled inside the igloo and pretended to be snow people. They wrapped themselves in scarves and hats. They said hello to the birds and the squirrels. They sang songs and told jokes. + +They were having so much fun, they did not notice that the sun was getting warmer. The snow started to melt and drip. The igloo became smaller and smaller. + +"Uh-oh, Ben, I think we have to get out," Lily said. "The igloo is going away." + +Ben looked around and saw the snow walls were thin and wet.

She took them out and looked at Lila's tooth. It was cracked and bleeding. + +"Oh, Lila, what did you do?" her mom said. "You can't chew on coins, they are not food. They are for buying things. And now you have hurt your tooth. We have to go to the dentist." + +Lila did not like the dentist. She was scared of the big chair and the loud tools. She wished she had not chewed on the coin. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She learned a lesson that day. She never chewed on anything that was not food again. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play outside, but the weather was bad. It was cold and rainy and windy. They looked out the window and saw gray clouds and wet grass. + +"Can we go out, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, dear, it's too wet and cold. You'll catch a cold. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben sighed. They did not want to play with their toys or read a book. They wanted to have fun outside. They looked at each other and had an idea. + +"Let's go to the attic!" Ben whispered. + +"OK, but be quiet.

They did not hear Mom opening the door to the attic. + +They only heard Mom saying, "What are you doing here?" + +They turned around and saw Mom standing at the door. She looked surprised and angry. + +They dropped the things they were holding and looked at Mom. They felt scared and guilty. + +They did not know what to say. + +They knew they were in trouble. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They both had bikes that they rode around the paths. Lily's bike was red and Ben's bike was blue. They had fun racing each other and seeing who was faster. + +One day, they saw a new bike in the park. It was green and shiny and had a bell and a basket. Lily and Ben stopped to look at it. They admired the green bike and wondered who it belonged to. + +"Wow, that bike is so cool!" Lily said. "I wish I had a bike like that." + +"Me too," Ben said. "It looks very fast and pretty." + +Just then, a boy came out of the playground and walked towards the green bike. He had a big smile on his face and a helmet on his head. He saw Lily and Ben staring at his bike. + +"Hi, I'm Sam," he said. "This is my new bike. My dad gave it to me for my birthday. Do you like it?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be nice, but they also felt a little jealous of Sam and his green bike. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Ben," Lily said. "We have bikes too. They are red and blue." + +Sam looked at their bikes and shrugged. He did not seem very impressed. + +"That's nice," he said. "But my bike is better. It has a bell and a basket and it's green. Green is the best color. Do you want to race me?" + +Lily and Ben felt competitive. They did not like Sam's attitude. They wanted to show him that their bikes were good too. + +"OK, let's race," Ben said. "We'll see who is faster." + +They agreed to race from one end of the park to the other. They got on their bikes and lined up at the start. Sam rang his bell and said, "Ready, set, go!" + +They all pedaled as hard as they could. Lily and Ben tried to catch up with Sam and his green bike. But Sam was too fast. He zoomed ahead and reached the finish line first. He rang his bell again and shouted, "I win! I win! My bike is the best!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like losing. They did not like Sam. They did not like his green bike. + +They decided to ignore him and ride away. They found a quiet spot in the park where they could play together. They realized that they did not need a green bike to have fun. They had each other and their red and blue bikes. They admired their friendship and smiled. +Sara and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Sara liked the birds best. They had bright colors and funny sounds. + +"Can I feed the birds, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey. Here, take some seeds from this bag. But be careful, don't get too close to the cage. The birds might bite you," Mom said. + +Sara took some seeds and walked to the cage. She saw a big blue bird with a yellow beak. It looked friendly. Sara held out her hand with some seeds. + +"Hello, bird. Do you want some seeds?" Sara said. + +The bird looked at Sara and nodded. It came closer to the cage and opened its beak. Sara smiled and moved her hand closer. But then, the bird did something Sara did not expect. It sneezed! + +"Achoo!" The bird sneezed loudly and sprayed some water on Sara's hand and face. + +Sara gasped and dropped the seeds. She felt wet and sticky. She ran back to Mom and cried. + +"Mom, the bird sneezed on me! It was gross!" + +Mom hugged Sara and wiped her face with a tissue. + +"Oh, poor Sara. I'm sorry, honey. The bird must have a cold. Maybe it's because the cage is too tight and it can't fly around. That's not good for the bird," Mom said. + +Ben came over and saw Sara crying. He felt sorry for her, but he also thought it was funny. + +"Ha ha, Sara. You got bird snot on you. That's what you get for being too nice to the bird," Ben said. + +Sara glared at Ben and stuck out her tongue. + +"Shut up, Ben. You're mean. I don't like you," Sara said. + +Mom and Dad looked at each other and sighed. They decided it was time to leave the zoo and go home. They hoped Sara and Ben would get along better tomorrow. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big sign near the road that said "Stop". They wondered what it meant. + +"Maybe it means we can't go there," Lily said. + +"Or maybe it means we can go there, but we have to be alert," Tom said. + +They decided to find out. They waited for the cars to pass, then they ran across the road to the sign. They felt very brave and curious. + +But they did not see the big truck that was coming fast. The truck driver saw them and honked his horn. He tried to stop, but it was too late. He hit the sign and it fell down with a loud crash. Tom and Lily were scared and ran back to the other side of the road. + +They saw their mom, who had heard the noise and came to see what happened. She was very angry and worried. She hugged them and scolded them. + +"What were you thinking? That sign was there to keep you safe. You could have been hurt or worse. You should never play near the road. You should always obey the signs and look both ways before you cross. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They learned their lesson. They never played near the road again. They always listened to their mom and the signs. They were more alert and careful. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be famous stars. They dress up in shiny clothes and sunglasses. They have a big wallet with paper money. + +They go to the toy store. They see many things they want.

They are happy. + +But then, they hear a silly noise. It is not from the drum or the flute. It is from the box. They stop playing and look at the box. + +"What is that?" Tom asks. + +"Let's see!" Mia says. + +They open the box. They see a cat. The cat is inside the box. The cat was making the silly noise. The cat meows at them. + +"Hello, cat!" Tom and Mia say. They laugh. They pet the cat. The cat purrs. + +They think the cat is funny. They make music with the cat. They use the drum, the flute, and the cat. They have fun. They are friends. +Ben and Lily like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys and costumes. Today, they want to be knights and fight a dragon. + +They put on helmets and capes and take out two swords. They are made of wood, but they look cool. Ben and Lily say, "We are brave knights. We can protect the castle." + +They run outside and find a big tree. The tree is the dragon. It has green leaves and brown bark. Ben and Lily wave their swords and shout, "Roar! You are a bad dragon. We will stop you." + +The tree does not move or make a sound. It is just a tree. But Ben and Lily pretend it is a dragon. They have fun. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Ben, Lily, lunch is ready. Come inside." + +Ben and Lily stop playing. They look at each other and smile. They say, "We did it. We defeated the dragon. We are the best knights." + +They put their swords back in the box and take off their helmets and capes. They run inside and wash their hands. They are hungry. They can play pretend again later. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They are happy. + +But then Sara sees a big insect on the grass. It has many legs and a long tail. Sara is scared. She hates insects. She screams and runs away. + +Ben hears Sara scream. He runs to her and sees the insect. He is not scared. He likes insects. He thinks they are cool and interesting. He picks up the insect and shows it to Sara. + +"Look, Sara, this is a centipede. It has one hundred legs. It is not bad. It is just a little animal. Do you want to touch it?" Ben says. + +Sara shakes her head. She does not want to touch it. She thinks it is ugly and gross. She does not like Ben's centipede. She wants him to put it down. + +"No, Ben, I don't want to touch it. I hate it. Put it down. It is yucky. Let's play something else." Sara says. + +Ben is sad. He likes his centipede. He thinks it is lucky. He wants to keep it. He does not want to play something else. + +"But Sara, this is my centipede. It is my friend. It is lucky. It makes me happy. Why do you hate it? It is not yucky. It is beautiful." Ben says. + +Sara and Ben do not agree. They are not happy. They are angry. They do not want to play together. They go to different sides of the park. They are alone. +Lila was a doctor. She liked to help people who were sick or hurt. She had a big bag with many things inside. She had a stethoscope, a bandage, a thermometer, and a colorful sticker. + +One day, she went to visit her friend Ben. Ben had a sore throat and a fever. He was lying on his bed, feeling very sad. + +"Hello, Ben," Lila said. "I am here to make you feel better. Can I be your doctor?" + +Ben nodded. He liked Lila. She was always kind and fun. + +Lila took out her stethoscope and put it on her ears. She put the other end on Ben's chest and listened to his heart. "Your heart is strong and brave," she said. "But you need some medicine for your throat." + +She took out a spoon and a bottle of syrup. She put some syrup on the spoon and gave it to Ben. "This will help you swallow and stop the pain," she said. "But it might taste a little yucky." + +Ben made a face and opened his mouth. He swallowed the syrup and coughed. "Yuck, you are right," he said. "It is very yucky." + +Lila smiled. "You are a good patient," she said. "You did not cry or complain. You deserve a reward." + +She took out a colorful sticker from her bag. It had a picture of a dinosaur on it. She put the sticker on Ben's shirt. "This is for you," she said. "It is a dinosaur sticker. It will make you happy and strong." + +Ben looked at the sticker and smiled. He liked dinosaurs. They were his favorite animals. He felt a little better.

"We can make something with them!" + +"Let's do it!" Sam agreed. They took some screws and tools and went to their room. They did not tell their mom or dad. + +They tried to make a robot with the screws and tools, but they did not know how. They were careless and made a mess. They broke some toys and scratched the floor. They also hurt themselves with the sharp screws and tools. + +"Ow, this screw poked me!" Sam cried. + +"Stop being a baby!" Tim said. "It's just a little poke. Look, I made an arm for the robot!" + +He showed Sam the arm. It was made of a screw, a hammer and a toy car.

Give me back my jewels!" he shouted. + +Anna and Ben woke up and saw the bear. They were very scared and sorry.

Mom said yes, but they had to be back before it got dark. She gave them a flashlight and a bucket and told them to have fun. + +Tim and Sam ran outside with Spot and went to the sandbox. They decided to fill the bucket with sand and make a mighty castle. They worked hard, digging and scooping and patting the sand. They used sticks and stones and leaves to decorate their castle.

He ran around it and sniffed it and licked it. + +"Hey, Spot, don't lick our castle!" Sam said. "You will make it wet and messy!" + +Spot stopped licking and looked at Sam with his big brown eyes.

You are not a bad guy. You are a good doggy. Do you want to play with me?" + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Sam's face. Sam laughed and petted the dog. He said, "You are a nice doggy. You are different from Tim. You are my friend." + +The end. +Tim and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big bug on a leaf. The bug has many legs and a hard shell. It is black and shiny. + +"Look, a bug!" Tim says. He wants to touch it. + +"No, Tim, don't touch it!" Mia says. She is scared of the bug. "It might bite you!" + +Tim does not listen to Mia. He is naughty. He crawls to the leaf and reaches for the bug. The bug sees Tim and runs away. It crawls very fast. + +"Come back, bug!" Tim says. He crawls after the bug. He wants to catch it. + +Mia runs to Tim and grabs his arm. She pulls him back. + +"Stop, Tim, stop!" Mia says. "The bug does not want to play with you. It wants to be free. You are scaring it!" + +Tim looks at Mia. He sees that she is right. He feels sorry for the bug. + +"Sorry, bug," Tim says. He lets go of the leaf. He crawls back to Mia. "You can go now, bug. Bye-bye, bug." + +The bug crawls away. It finds a safe place to hide. It is happy. + +Tim and Mia hug each other. They are friends. They decide to play with something else. They find a ball and a doll. They have fun. They are good. +Ben was sad. He had a big hurt in his ear. It made him cry and not want to play. Mommy took him to the doctor. The doctor looked in his ear and said he had an ouchie. He gave Ben a pill to make the ouchie go away. + +"Can I have the pill now?" Ben asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie," Mommy said. "You have to eat something first. The pill is strong and it can make your tummy hurt if you take it without food." + +Ben did not like that. He did not want to eat. He just wanted the ouchie to stop. He made a frown and crossed his arms. + +"Please, Ben, be a good boy and eat a little," Mommy said. "How about some toast and jam? That is your favorite." + +Ben shook his head. He did not want toast and jam. He wanted the pill. + +Mommy sighed. She knew Ben was in pain, but she also knew he had to eat something. She had an idea. She took out a small jar of honey and a spoon. + +"Look, Ben, I have something special for you," she said. "This is honey. It is sweet and yummy. It can also help your ouchie. Do you want to try some?" + +Ben looked at the honey. It was golden and shiny. He liked sweet things. He nodded. + +Mommy gave him a spoonful of honey. Ben licked it and smiled. It was good. He wanted more. + +Mommy gave him another spoonful of honey. Then she gave him the pill. + +"Here you go, Ben. This is the pill. It will make your ear feel better. Can you swallow it for me?" + +Ben looked at the pill. It was small and white. He put it in his mouth and swallowed it with some water. + +"Good job, Ben!" Mommy said. "You are a brave boy. Now you can rest and the ouchie will go away soon." + +Ben felt proud. He had taken the pill. He hoped it would work. He hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +"I love you too, Ben," Mommy said. "Now let's go home and cuddle on the couch. Maybe we can watch a movie or read a book. How does that sound?" + +Ben nodded. He liked that. He was still sad, but he felt a little better. He knew Mommy would take care of him. He knew he would be okay. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and gray. They heard a loud sound. It was thunder. + +"Oh no, it is going to rain!" Lily said. "We have to go home." + +Ben nodded. He did not like rain. It made him wet and cold. They ran to their bikes. They put on their helmets. They started to pedal fast. + +But then they saw something in the sky. It was a rainbow. It had many colors. It was red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. It was bright and beautiful. + +"Look, Lily, a rainbow!" Ben said. He stopped his bike. He pointed at the rainbow. + +Lily stopped too. She looked at the rainbow. She smiled. She liked rainbows. They made her happy and warm. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily said. She clapped her hands. She liked to clap when she saw something nice. + +Ben clapped too. He agreed with Lily. The rainbow was nice. + +They heard another sound. It was their mom. She was in the car. She came to pick them up. + +"Hi, kids, are you ready to go?" Mom said. She rolled down the window. She saw the rainbow too. + +"Hi, Mom, look at the rainbow!" Lily and Ben said. They waved at Mom. + +Mom smiled. She liked rainbows too. She knew they were important. They showed that the sun was shining after the rain. + +"Yes, it is a beautiful rainbow," Mom said. "But we have to go now. It is almost dinner time." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They got on their bikes. They followed Mom to the car. They put their bikes in the trunk. They got in the car. They buckled their seat belts. + +They looked at the rainbow one more time. They said goodbye to the rainbow. They thanked the rainbow for making them happy. + +They drove home. They had dinner. They told Dad about the rainbow. They showed him their claps. They said the rainbow was important. + +Dad smiled. He hugged them. He said he was proud of them. He said they were important too. +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and the slide, and to look at the flowers and the trees. She saw many insects in the park, like bees and butterflies and ants. She was not afraid of them, because she knew they were not bad. + +But then, she saw a big spider on the grass. It had eight legs and many eyes, and it looked very scary. Mia was frightened, and she ran to her mom. "Mom, mom, there is a big spider over there!" she cried. "It is ugly and mean, and I don't like it!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't be scared, Mia. The spider is not ugly or mean, it is just different. It is also an insect, and it has a job to do. It makes webs to catch flies and other insects that can harm the plants. It is not bad, it is helpful." + +Mia looked at the spider again, and she saw that it had a shiny web with many drops of dew on it. It looked like a necklace of pearls. She also saw that the spider was not moving or chasing her, it was just sitting on the grass. She realized that it was not scary, it was just doing its work. + +She said to her mom, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. The spider is not ugly or mean, it is just different. It is also an insect, and it has a job to do. It is not bad, it is helpful." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's right, Mia. You learned a good lesson today. You should not judge someone by how they look, but by what they do. You should respect and appreciate all the insects, because they are part of nature, and they have a role to play. They are not bad, they are helpful." + +Mia nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. I understand now. I will not be scared of spiders or other insects anymore. I will respect and appreciate them, because they are not bad, they are helpful." + +And then, she and her mom went to play on the swings and the slide, and to look at the flowers and the trees. They had a fun and happy day at the park. +Anna liked to grow sunflowers in her garden. She planted seeds in the dirt and watered them every day. She wanted to see the big yellow flowers smile at her. + +One day, she saw a small green stem poke out of the dirt. She was very happy and ran to tell her mom. "Mom, look! My sunflower is growing!" she said. + +"That's wonderful, Anna!" her mom said. "You are a clever gardener. But you have to be careful. There are some animals that like to eat sunflowers. They might come and get your sunflower when you are not looking." + +Anna was worried. She did not want anyone to get her sunflower. She asked her mom, "Who will get my sunflower, mom?" + +"Well, sometimes birds or squirrels or rabbits will get sunflowers. They think they are tasty. But you can do something to stop them. You can make a scarecrow. A scarecrow is a thing that looks like a person, but it is not. It scares the animals away. Do you want to make a scarecrow, Anna?" + +Anna nodded. She thought that was a good idea. She and her mom got some old clothes and a hat and a stick. They stuffed the clothes with straw and put them on the stick. They put the hat on top and drew a face on a paper bag. They put the scarecrow in the garden, near the sunflower. + +Anna was proud of her scarecrow. She hoped it would keep her sunflower safe. She said to the scarecrow, "You are my friend. You will help me protect my sunflower. Thank you, scarecrow." + +The next day, Anna went to check on her sunflower. She saw that it had grown bigger and had a small yellow bud. She was very happy and hugged the scarecrow. She said, "You are doing a great job, scarecrow. My sunflower is almost ready to bloom." + +But then she heard a noise. She looked up and saw a big black crow sitting on the scarecrow's hat. The crow was pecking at the paper bag face. It had made a hole in the eye. Anna was angry and scared. She shouted, "Hey, crow! Go away! Leave my scarecrow alone! Don't get my sunflower!" + +The crow looked at Anna and cawed. It did not go away. It flapped its wings and flew to the sunflower. It tried to get the yellow bud. Anna ran to the sunflower and waved her arms. She tried to scare the crow away. But the crow was not afraid. It was clever. It knew that Anna was not a scarecrow. It knew that Anna could not hurt it. + +Anna did not know what to do. She felt sad and helpless. She wished her scarecrow was real. She wished her scarecrow could talk. She wished her scarecrow could get the crow. She said to the scarecrow, "Please, scarecrow. Help me. Save my sunflower." + +Then something amazing happened. The scarecrow moved. It lifted its stick arm and pointed at the crow. It said in a loud voice, "Crow, go away! Leave the sunflower alone! Or I will get you!" + +The crow was shocked. It had never heard a scarecrow talk. It had never seen a scarecrow move. It was scared. It dropped the sunflower bud and flew away. It did not come back. + +Anna was amazed. She could not believe her eyes. She could not believe her ears. She said to the scarecrow, "Scarecrow, you can talk! You can move! You can get the crow! How did you do that?" + +The scarecrow smiled. It said to Anna, "I can do that because you wished for it. You wished for me to be your friend. You wished for me to help you. You wished for me to save your sunflower. And your wish came true." + +Anna was overjoyed. She hugged the scarecrow. She said, "Thank you, scarecrow. You are my best friend. You are my hero. You are the cleverest scarecrow in the world." + +The scarecrow hugged Anna back. It said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are my best friend too. You are my gardener. You are the kindest girl in the world." + +They looked at the sunflower. It had not been hurt by the crow. It had grown bigger and brighter. It had opened its yellow petals. It smiled at them. + +They smiled back. They were happy. They had each other. They had the sunflower. They had a wish come true. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today, Lily feels sick. She has a high fever. Her mom puts a thermometer in her mouth. The thermometer shows a red number. Lily's mom says, "You have to stay in bed, Lily. You need to rest and drink water." + +Ben comes to visit Lily. He knocks on the door. Lily's mom opens the door. She says, "Hello, Ben. Lily is sick. She has a high fever. You can see her, but you have to be careful. Don't touch her or hug her. And wash your hands before and after." + +Ben says, "OK, thank you. I hope Lily gets better soon." He goes to Lily's room. He sees Lily lying in bed. She looks sad and tired. He says, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry you're sick. I brought you something. It's a book. It has pictures of animals. We can look at it together." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You're a good friend. I like animals. Can you show me the book?" + +Ben sits on a chair next to Lily's bed. He opens the book. He gathers the pages in his hands. He says, "Look, Lily. This is a lion. He has a big mane and sharp teeth. He roars like this: Rrrrrr!" + +Lily laughs. She says, "That's funny, Ben. You sound like a lion. What's this animal?" + +Ben says, "This is a giraffe. He has a long neck and spots. He eats leaves from tall trees. He stretches like this: Aaaah!" + +Lily giggles. She says, "You're silly, Ben. You look like a giraffe. Show me more animals." + +Ben and Lily look at the book. They see elephants, monkeys, zebras, and more. They make noises and gestures. They have fun. Lily's mom comes to check on them. She sees them smiling. She says, "I'm glad you're happy, Lily. And I'm glad you're here, Ben. You're a good friend. Let me see your thermometer, Lily. Maybe your fever is lower now." +Sara liked to look at the owl in the big tree. The owl had big eyes and a soft coat. Sara wanted to touch the owl and be its friend. But her mom did not allow her to go near the tree. She said the owl might bite or scratch her. + +One day, Sara saw the owl fly away from the tree. She ran after it and followed it to a small house. The house had a sign that said "Owl Lady". Sara knocked on the door and a kind woman opened it. She had many owls in her house. She smiled at Sara and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like owls?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, I love owls. Can I touch them?" + +The woman said, "Of course, you can. But you have to be gentle and quiet. Owls are shy and sensitive. Come in, I will show you." + +Sara was very glad and went inside. She saw many different owls. Some were big, some were small, some were brown, some were white. The woman let Sara touch and hold some of the owls. Sara felt their soft feathers and heard their soft hoots. She was very happy. + +But then, her mom came looking for her. She saw Sara in the house with the owls. She was angry and scared. She said, "Sara, what are you doing here? You know you are not allowed to go near the owls. They are dangerous. Come with me, now!" + +Sara did not want to leave. She said, "But mom, the owls are nice. The woman is nice. She lets me touch them. They are my friends." + +The woman said, "Don't worry, mom. I am the Owl Lady. I take care of the owls. They are not dangerous. They are gentle and smart. Sara is very good with them. She can come back anytime she wants." + +The mom looked at the woman and the owls. She saw that they were not harmful. She saw that Sara was happy. She felt sorry for being angry. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I did not know the owls were nice. I did not know the woman was nice. I was afraid for you. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara hugged her mom and said, "I forgive you, mom. I love you. And I love the owls. And I love the Owl Lady. Can we come back again?" + +The mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But only if the Owl Lady allows us." + +The Owl Lady nodded and said, "You are always welcome, Sara. And you too, mom. Come, let me show you more owls." +Tommy loved to play with his cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, he saw a big box in the living room. He wondered what was inside. He opened the box and saw a lot of shiny new cars. He was very happy. + +He wanted to play with all the cars, but he could not. His mom said he had to choose one car and give the rest to his friends. Tommy did not like that. He wanted to keep all the cars for himself. He thought his mom was mean. He was very miserable. + +He decided to hide the box under his bed. He thought his mom would not find it there. He planned to play with the cars when his mom was not looking. He was very sneaky. + +But he did not know that his mom had put a pit in the box. The pit was a hole that had a trap. If someone tried to take a car from the box, the pit would close and the car would be gone. His mom did this to teach him a lesson. She wanted him to learn to share and be kind. + +The next day, Tommy went to his room and looked under his bed. He saw the box and smiled. He reached for the box and pulled it out. He opened the box and saw the cars. He grabbed one car and tried to take it out. But he felt something pull the car back. He looked and saw the pit. The pit had closed and the car was gone. He was very shocked. + +He tried to take another car, but the same thing happened. The pit took the car away. He tried again and again, but he could not get any car. He started to cry. He realized he had been greedy and selfish. He wished he had listened to his mom and shared the cars with his friends. He was very sorry. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. But today, it is raining. The rain is big and loud. Tom and Mia are sad. + +"Let's play with cars!" Tom says. He has a red car and a blue car. He gives the blue car to Mia. "We can make a race!" + +Mia nods. She likes cars. They put the cars on the floor. They say "Ready, set, go!" They push the cars with their hands. The cars speed on the floor. + +Tom's car is faster than Mia's car. He laughs. "I win, I win!" He says. He takes Mia's car. "Now I have two cars!" + +Mia is angry. She wants her car back. "That's not fair!" She says. "Give me my car!" + +Tom shakes his head. "No, I won. It's my car now!" + +Mia tries to grab the car. Tom pulls it away. They fight over the car. The car breaks. The wheels fall off. The car is broken. + +Tom and Mia are shocked. They look at the broken car. They feel sorry. They wish they did not fight. + +"I'm sorry, Mia." Tom says. "I was mean. You can have your car back." + +"I'm sorry, Tom." Mia says. "I was mad. You can have your car too." + +They hug. They are friends again. They share the cars. They fix the broken car. They play together. + +The rain stops. The sun comes out. Tom and Mia smile. They learn to be kind and share. They have more fun. +One day, a little girl named Anna went to the park with her mom. She loved to play on the swings and the slide, and to look at the flowers and the birds. She was very enthusiastic and happy. + +But then, she saw a small squirrel on the ground. It was not moving and it looked hurt. Anna felt sad and scared for the squirrel. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, look! There is a squirrel and it is not okay!" + +Her mom followed her and saw the squirrel. She said, "Oh, poor thing. It must have fallen from the tree. Maybe it is just stunned and needs some time to recover. Let's not touch it, but we can comfort it with our words." + +Anna and her mom sat down near the squirrel and spoke softly to it. They said, "Hello, little squirrel. We are sorry you are hurt. We hope you feel better soon. You are very brave and strong. We are your friends and we care about you." + +The squirrel opened its eyes and looked at them. It twitched its nose and tail. It seemed to understand their kindness. It made a small sound, like a thank you. Anna and her mom smiled and felt happy. + +They stayed with the squirrel until it got up and ran to the nearest tree. It looked back at them and waved its paw. Anna and her mom waved back and said, "Goodbye, little squirrel. We are glad you are okay. Have a nice day!" + +They walked back to the playground, feeling good. They had helped a squirrel and made a new friend. They were very enthusiastic and happy. +Anna and Ben are young friends. They like to play outside in summer. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is brown and white and very friendly. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a sign on their fence. The sign has many colors and letters. They do not know what the sign says. They ask Spot to help them. Spot barks and wags his tail. He jumps on the sign and knocks it down. + +Anna and Ben pick up the sign and look at it. They see a picture of a lemon and a glass. They see the word "Lemonade". They remember that lemonade is a drink that is sweet and sour. They like lemonade. + +"Maybe this sign is for a lemonade stand," Anna says. + +"What is a lemonade stand?" Ben asks. + +"A lemonade stand is where you sell lemonade to people. You need a table, some cups, some ice and some lemonade. You also need a sign to tell people what you are selling," Anna explains. + +"That sounds fun. Do you want to make a lemonade stand?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I do. Let's do it," Anna says. + +They run inside and ask their mom for help. Their mom helps them make lemonade and gives them a table, some cups, some ice and a new sign. They write "Lemonade 25 cents" on the sign with a crayon. They carry everything outside and set up their lemonade stand. They put the sign on the fence. They wait for customers. + +Soon, they see some people walking by. They wave and shout, "Lemonade, lemonade, come and get some lemonade!" + +Some people stop and buy lemonade from them. They give them 25 cents for each cup. Anna and Ben say "Thank you" and smile. They are happy. They have fun. They make some money. They share their lemonade with Spot. Spot licks their faces. They laugh. + +They have a good summer day. +Tom and Jen were friends. They liked to play together after school. One evening, they had a plan. They wanted to surprise their moms with a cake. They went to the kitchen and found some eggs, flour, sugar and milk. They mixed everything in a big bowl. They did not know how to use the oven, so they put the bowl in the microwave. They pushed some buttons and waited. + +Soon, they heard a loud noise. The microwave was making sparks and smoke. The cake was burning and bubbling. Tom and Jen were scared. They ran out of the kitchen and screamed for help. Their moms came and saw the mess. They were angry and worried. They turned off the microwave and opened the windows. They told Tom and Jen that they were very naughty and dangerous. They said they could have started a fire or hurt themselves. They said they had to go to bed without dinner or dessert. They said they were sorry, but they did not listen. + +Tom and Jen cried and went to their rooms. They felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not tried to surprise their moms. They wished they had asked for help. They wished they had a nice cake to eat. They learned a lesson. They never played with the microwave again. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to eat some apples. + +"Can we take some apples?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe the tree belongs to someone." Tom said. + +"Who cares? They look yummy. Come on, let's climb the tree and get some." Lily said. She was not afraid. + +Tom was afraid, but he followed Lily. They climbed the tree and picked some apples. They bit into them and smiled. They were sweet and juicy. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was a man. He was angry. He owned the tree and the apples. He saw Lily and Tom on the tree. + +"Hey, you! Get down from there! You are stealing my apples!" He shouted. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the apples and tried to climb down. But they were too high. They slipped and fell. They hurt themselves. They cried. + +The man came and grabbed them. He was very mad. He called their parents and told them what they did. He said they were bad and rude. He said they had to pay for the apples. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They had made a big mistake. They wished they had not taken the apples. They wished they had listened to Tom. They were in trouble. They were poor. They had no money. They had no apples. They had no fun. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to do wild things. They jump on the bed, they throw pillows, they make loud noises. + +One day, their mom tells them to take a nap. She says they are too wild and need to rest. She turns off the light and closes the door. Lily and Ben do not want to nap. They want to play more. + +They wait for a few minutes. Then they hear their mom go downstairs. They sneak out of bed and go to the switch. They turn on the light. They smile at each other. They think they are very clever. + +They start to play again. They pick up their toys and books. They pretend they are pirates, or astronauts, or superheroes. They have fun. They forget about their mom. + +But their mom does not forget about them. She hears their noises. She comes back upstairs. She opens the door. She sees them playing. She is not happy. + +She says, "Lily and Ben, why are you not napping? You lied to me. You turned on the light. You did not listen to me. You are very naughty." + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They know they did wrong. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not want to nap. We wanted to play. We did not mean to lie. We love you, mom." + +Their mom sighs. She says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. But you need to nap. You need to rest. You need to obey me. You can play later. Now, go back to bed. And turn off the light." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "OK, mom. We will nap. We will turn off the light. We will be good." + +They go back to bed. They turn off the light. They close their eyes. They fall asleep. They dream of wild things. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys: dolls, cars, balls, books, and more. They keep their toys in a big sack. Sometimes they take out the toys and make fun games. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a new toy in the sack. It is a squash. It is orange and round and soft. Anna and Ben do not know what it is. They think it is a ball. They try to bounce it, but it does not bounce. They try to roll it, but it does not roll. They try to throw it, but it does not fly. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like the squash. They think it is a bad toy. They want to play with their normal toys. They put the squash back in the sack. They hope it will go away. + +But the next day, the squash is still in the sack. Anna and Ben are surprised. They wonder who put it there. They think maybe it is a magic squash.

They like the squash. They think it is a good toy. They make a new game with it. They pretend it is a pumpkin. They draw a face on it and put a candle inside.

She thinks it is not trash, but a treasure. She asks her mom and dad if she can keep it. They think for a moment and then nod. They say she can keep it, but she has to wash it first. They say it might have germs on it. + +Lily agrees. She takes the wrap and her teddy bear to the bathroom. She washes the wrap with soap and water and hangs it to dry. She cuddles her teddy bear and waits for the wrap to dry. She is happy. She has a charming wrap and a charming teddy bear. She loves to collect things. +Anna and Ben like to eat pasta with sauce. Mommy makes the sauce with tomatoes and cheese and herbs. She puts the sauce in a big pot on the stove. She tells Anna and Ben to wait until the sauce is ready. + +Anna and Ben are hungry and curious. They want to taste the sauce. They sneak into the kitchen when Mommy is not looking. They see the pot on the stove. They see a big spoon next to the pot. + +"I want to take some sauce with the spoon," Anna says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +They both reach for the spoon. They pull it at the same time. The spoon slips from their hands. It falls into the pot. The sauce splashes out of the pot. It lands on Anna and Ben and the floor and the wall. The sauce is hot and wet and sticky. + +"Ouch!" Anna and Ben cry. + +Mommy hears them and runs into the kitchen. She sees the mess and the sauce and the spoon and the children.

They used sticks and shells and rocks to make their ship and treasure. + +"Look, Lily, I found a gold coin!" Ben said, holding up a shiny shell. + +"Wow, Ben, that's amazing! Let's put it in our chest!" Lily said, pointing to a plastic box they had buried in the sand. + +They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they had many shells, rocks, and leaves that they pretended were jewels and money. They were very organized and sorted them by color and shape. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud splash from the pond nearby. They looked up and saw a big fin sticking out of the water. It was a shark! + +"Ah, a shark! It's coming to get our treasure!" Ben shouted, grabbing a stick. + +"Quick, Lily, let's defend our ship!" Lily said, picking up a rock. + +They ran to the edge of the pond and threw their stick and rock at the shark. But the shark did not move. It was not a real shark. It was a toy shark that someone had left in the pond. + +Ben and Lily laughed. They realized they had imagined the shark too. They decided to keep the toy shark as part of their treasure. They put it in their chest and closed it. + +They went back to their ship and continued to play. They had a lot of fun imagining they were pirates and had a big ship and a shark. +Lisa and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a baby brother, Sam, who was still very small. Sometimes, Mom asked them to watch Sam while she did some work. Lisa and Tom loved Sam, but they also wanted to have fun. + +One day, Mom said, "Lisa and Tom, I need to go to the store for a little while. Can you please stay with Sam and make sure he is comfortable and happy?" Lisa and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, we can do that." Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, my sweeties. I'll be back soon." She gave them a hug and a kiss and left. + +Lisa and Tom looked at Sam, who was sleeping in his crib. He looked so peaceful and cute. They decided to let him sleep and play quietly in the living room. They got some toys and books and sat on the floor. They played nicely for a while, but then they got bored. They wanted to do something more exciting. + +"Let's go outside and skip," Lisa said. "It's a sunny day and we can have fun." Tom agreed. He liked to skip. He said, "Okay, let's go. But we have to be quick. Mom will be back soon." Lisa and Tom put on their shoes and coats and ran outside. They forgot about Sam. + +They skipped on the sidewalk, on the grass, and on the playground. They laughed and sang and had a great time. They didn't notice how much time passed. They didn't hear Sam crying in his crib. They didn't see Mom coming back from the store. + +Mom opened the door and heard Sam's loud cries. She ran to his room and saw him alone and wet and hungry. She picked him up and hugged him and said, "Oh, Sam, I'm so sorry. Where are Lisa and Tom?" She looked out the window and saw them skipping happily. She felt angry and sad. She called them and said, "Lisa and Tom, come here right now!" + +Lisa and Tom stopped skipping and saw Mom. They realized they had done something wrong. They ran to Mom and said, "Mom, we're sorry. We just wanted to skip for a little while. We didn't mean to leave Sam alone." Mom said, "Lisa and Tom, you know you have to watch Sam when I'm not here. He is your baby brother and he needs you. You have to be responsible and caring. Skipping is fun, but Sam is more important. How would you feel if I left you alone and went to have fun?" + +Lisa and Tom felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "Mom, you're right. We feel bad. We love Sam and we don't want him to be sad. We won't do it again. Can we please say sorry to Sam and make him comfortable and happy?" Mom said, "Yes, you can. But you have to promise me that you will always take care of Sam and each other. That's what family does." Lisa and Tom nodded and said, "We promise, Mom. We love you and Sam and each other." They hugged Mom and Sam and said, "Sorry, Sam. We're sorry we left you. We'll be good big siblings to you. We'll make you comfortable and happy." + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lisa and Tom. I'm proud of you for admitting your mistake and apologizing. I love you all very much. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some snacks. And maybe later, we can all go outside and skip together." Lisa and Tom smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. That sounds like fun." They followed Mom and Sam to the kitchen, feeling happy and grateful. They learned their lesson. They learned to be responsible and caring. They learned to love their family. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play and swim in the pond. One day, they see a big duck on the water. Tom wants to catch the duck. He says to Sam, "Let's swim to the duck and grab it. It will be fun." + +Sam is scared. He says to Tom, "No, Tom. The duck is not a toy. It is a living thing. It can bite us or fly away. We should be kind to the duck and leave it alone." + +Tom does not listen to Sam. He says, "You are a baby. I am brave. I will catch the duck and show you." He swims to the duck very fast. The duck sees Tom and gets angry. It quacks loudly and flaps its wings. It bites Tom on the nose and scratches him with its claws. Tom cries out in pain and swims back to the shore. + +Sam feels sorry for Tom. He says, "Tom, are you okay? I told you not to bother the duck. It was not nice of you to try to catch it. You should listen to me next time." + +Tom is hurt and sad. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. You were right. I was wrong. The duck was not fun. It was mean. I will listen to you next time." He looks at his nose and sees blood. He says, "I need to go home and get a band-aid. Will you come with me?" + +Sam nods and says, "Yes, Tom. I will come with you. I am your friend. I will help you." They walk home together, holding hands. The duck stays in the pond, happy and free. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures, some books had stories, some books had both. Lily wanted to learn new words, so she asked her mom for a big book. + +"Mom, can I have that book?" Lily pointed to a thick book on the shelf. + +"That book is a dictionary, Lily. It has many words and their meanings. But it is not a story book. It might be too hard for you," Mom said. + +"Please, Mom, I want to try. I can learn new words," Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily, but be careful. The book is heavy. You can use the table to read it," Mom said. She took the dictionary from the shelf and put it on the table. + +Lily climbed on a chair and opened the dictionary. She saw many letters and words. She tried to read some of them, but they were too long and strange. She did not understand them. She felt sad. + +She saw a thin book next to the dictionary. It had a picture of a cat on the cover. She liked cats. She picked up the thin book and leaned over the table to look at it. It was a story book about a cat and a mouse. She could read some of the words. She smiled. + +"Mom, can I read this book?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily, that book is for you. It is a story book. You can read it and enjoy it," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. I like this book. It has a cat and a mouse. They are funny," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. You can keep the dictionary too, if you want. Maybe when you are older, you can use it to learn more words," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. I will keep the dictionary. But now I want to read the story book. It is fun," Lily said. + +She opened the thin book and began to read. She forgot about the dictionary. She was happy. +Mia and Ben are playing with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog with a red collar. Mia and Ben love Spot very much. They like to throw a ball for him and watch him run and catch it. + +One day, they decide to order a pizza for lunch. They call the pizza place and ask for cheese and pepperoni. They are very hungry and excited. They wait for the pizza man to come. + +Spot is alert. He hears a car outside. He barks and runs to the door. He thinks it is a friend. He wants to say hello. Mia and Ben follow him. They hope it is the pizza man. + +The pizza man knocks on the door. Spot jumps and wags his tail. He tries to lick the pizza man's face. The pizza man is scared. He drops the pizza box. Mia and Ben are sad. They see the pizza on the floor. + +"Spot, no!" Mia orders. "Bad dog! You scared the pizza man!" + +"Sorry, kids," the pizza man says. "I didn't know you had a dog. He is very friendly, but he startled me." + +"It's okay, mister," Ben says. "Spot is a good dog. He just likes people. Can we have another pizza, please?" + +The pizza man smiles. He sees that Mia and Ben are nice kids. He sees that Spot is wearing a collar. He knows that Spot is not a stray dog. He goes back to his car and gets another pizza box. + +"Here you go, kids," he says. "Enjoy your pizza. And maybe next time, you can put Spot in another room when I come." + +"Thank you, mister," Mia and Ben say. "We will do that. And we will share some pizza with Spot. He is sorry, too." + +They take the pizza box and close the door. They open the box and see the cheese and pepperoni. They smell the pizza. It looks yummy. They cut some slices and put them on plates. They give one slice to Spot. He eats it happily. He licks his lips. + +Mia and Ben eat their pizza, too. They are happy. They love their pizza. They love their dog. They hug Spot and say, "Good boy, Spot. We love you." Spot wags his tail and barks. He loves them, too. +Lily liked to play with her violin. She had a small violin that was just for her. She learned how to hold it and how to make sounds with the bow. She liked to play songs that she heard from her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily wanted to show her violin to her friend Ben. She put her violin in a case and zipped it up. She walked to Ben's house with her mom. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it. + +"Hi, Lily! What do you have there?" Ben asked. + +"It's my violin. Do you want to see it?" Lily said. + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. + +Lily unzipped her case and took out her violin. She showed Ben how to hold it and how to use the bow. She played a song that she learned from her mom. It was a happy song. + +"Wow, Lily, you are very good! Can I try?" Ben said. + +"Sure, Ben. But you have to be careful. And you have to be quiet. Violins are not loud toys. They are gentle and soft," Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. I will be careful and quiet," Ben said. + +Ben took the violin and the bow from Lily. He tried to copy what Lily did. But he did not know how to play. He made a lot of noise. He scratched the strings and made them squeak. He hit the violin with the bow and made it thump. + +"Ben, Ben, stop! You are hurting my violin!" Lily cried. + +"Sorry, Lily. I don't know how to play. It's too hard," Ben said. + +"Here, let me help you. I will show you again. You have to be gentle and soft. Like this," Lily said. + +Lily took the violin and the bow from Ben. She played another song that she learned from her dad. It was a sad song. She played it very quiet and very slow. She made the violin sing. + +"Wow, Lily, that's beautiful. You are very good. I wish I could play like you," Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. Maybe you can. You just have to practice. And you have to be quiet. Violins are not loud toys. They are gentle and soft," Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. I will try. And I will be quiet. Violins are gentle and soft," Ben said. +Sara and Tom went to the market with Mom. They saw many things at the market. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and fish. Sara liked the red apples. Tom liked the yellow bananas. + +"Can we have some, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, we can buy some apples and bananas," Mom said. "But first, we need to get some fish for dinner." + +Mom took them to the fish stall. There were many fish on the ice. Some were small, some were big, some were shiny, some were dull. Sara and Tom looked at the fish with curiosity. + +"Look, Mom, that fish has a huge mouth!" Tom said, pointing at a fish with a wide open mouth and sharp teeth. + +"Yes, that's a shark, Tom. It's a very sharp fish. It can bite very hard. We don't want to touch it," Mom said. + +"Wow, a shark! Can we buy it, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, we can't buy a shark. It's too big and too sharp for us. We need a smaller and softer fish, like this one," Mom said, picking up a fish with smooth scales and a round tail. + +"What's that fish, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"That's a trout, Sara. It's a very tasty fish. We can cook it with some lemon and herbs. Do you want to try it?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, I want to try it," Sara said. + +"Me too, Mom, I want to try it," Tom said. + +"Okay, then, let's buy this trout and go home," Mom said. + +Mom paid the fish seller and put the trout in a bag. Then she took Sara and Tom by the hand and walked out of the market. They were happy to have some apples, bananas, and trout for their meal. +Sam likes to work in the garden with his dad. He helps to dig, water and plant. He also likes to look for insects. He finds ants, bees and ladybugs. He thinks they are very busy and clever. + +One day, he sees a big insect he does not know. It has a long body, many legs and a tail with a sting. It is black and yellow. It makes a loud noise. Sam is curious and wants to touch it. + +"Look, dad, what is that?" he asks, pointing at the insect. + +"That is a wasp, Sam. It is a wild insect. It can hurt you if you get too close. You should stay away from it," dad says, pulling Sam back. + +"Why can it hurt me?" Sam asks, feeling scared. + +"Because it has a sting, like a needle. It can use it to defend itself or attack. It does not like to share its space or food with others. It is not friendly like a bee or a ladybug," dad explains. + +"Oh, I see. I do not want to touch it then. I do not like needles. They make me cry. I like friendly insects. Can we go and see the bees and the ladybugs instead?" Sam says. + +"Sure, we can. They are in the other part of the garden. They work hard to make honey and eat pests. They are good for the plants and for us. Come on, let's go and say hello to them," dad says. + +Sam smiles and follows his dad. He likes to work and learn in the garden. He likes to see the different insects. But he does not like wasps. He thinks they are wild and mean. He is glad his dad is with him. He feels safe and happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pine tree in the park. It had many green needles and brown cones. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Be careful, children. The tree is very high and the needles are sharp. Don't go too close to the edge," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and started to climb. They felt the needles prick their hands and legs, but they were persistent. They wanted to reach the top. + +"Look, Lily, I can see the whole park from here!" Ben said, as he climbed higher and higher. + +"Me too, Ben, me too!" Lily said, following him. + +They reached the last branch and looked around. They saw the grass, the flowers, the swings, and the pond. They also saw Mom, who was waving at them. + +"Hi, Mom!" they shouted. + +"Hi, children! Come down now, it's time to go home," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and started to climb down. But they were not careful. They went too close to the edge of the branch and lost their balance. They slipped and fell. + +"Ouch!" they cried, as they landed on the ground. + +Mom ran to them and hugged them. She checked their arms and legs for scratches and bruises. + +"Are you okay, children?" she asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we are okay. But we are sorry. We were not careful. We went too close to the edge," Ben said. + +"We learned our lesson, Mom. We will not climb the tree again. It is too high and too dangerous," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She was glad they were not hurt. + +"I'm proud of you, children. You were brave and persistent, but you also learned to be cautious and respectful. The tree is a beautiful and living thing, but it is not a toy. You have to treat it with care and love," she said. + +They nodded and hugged her. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned to be careful and respectful of nature. They also learned to listen to Mom. She always knew what was best for them. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was the tunnel. The tunnel was big and dark and fun. They liked to crawl inside and pretend they were in a cave or a spaceship. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was jolly and friendly. He said his name was Sam and he wanted to play with them. Ben and Mia said yes and they showed him the tunnel. Sam said he liked the tunnel too. + +They decided to play a game. One of them would hide in the tunnel and the others would try to find them. Ben went first. He crawled into the tunnel and waited. Mia and Sam looked for him. They called his name and listened for his voice. But they could not hear him. + +They got worried. They thought maybe Ben was lost or hurt. They crawled into the tunnel too. They looked for Ben. But they could not see him. It was too dark. They called his name louder and louder. But they could not hear him. + +They got scared. They wanted to get out of the tunnel. But they did not know which way to go. They felt trapped and alone. They wished they had not played this game. They regretted going into the tunnel. + +Ben heard them. He was not lost or hurt. He was hiding in a secret spot. He wanted to surprise them. He thought it was funny. He did not know they were scared. He heard them cry and call his name. He felt bad. He regretted hiding from them. + +He crawled out of his spot. He said sorry. He said he was here. He said he would help them get out. He said he would not do it again. He said he wanted to be their friend. + +Mia and Sam heard him. They were happy. They were not alone. They said sorry too. They said they were scared. They said they forgave him. They said they wanted to be his friend too. + +They crawled out of the tunnel. They hugged and smiled. They decided to play something else. They decided to play something jolly and safe.

One day, they wanted to make cookies for their dad, who was coming home from work. Mom gave them a big bowl, some flour, some sugar, some butter, and some chocolate chips. She told them to mix everything well and make small balls of dough. + +But Sara and Tom did not agree on how to make the cookies. Sara wanted to make them round and smooth, like little nests. Tom wanted to make them flat and bumpy, like little mountains. They started to argue and pull the dough from each other. + +"Stop it, Sara! My cookies are better!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom! My cookies are better!" Sara said. + +They were both very stubborn and did not listen to each other or to mom, who tried to calm them down. They made a big mess in the kitchen, with flour and chocolate chips everywhere. + +Mom was not happy. She took the bowl away from them and said, "Sara and Tom, you are not being nice to each other. You have to share and cooperate if you want to bake cookies. If you keep fighting, you will not have any cookies at all." + +Sara and Tom felt sorry. They did not want to make mom angry or miss the cookies. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will be nice to each other. Can we try again?" + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She said, "Of course you can try again. But this time, you have to work together and make the cookies the same way. How about we make them half round and half flat, like little hills?" + +Sara and Tom liked that idea. They nodded and said, "Yes, mom. That sounds good. Thank you, mom." + +They took the bowl and started to make the cookies again. They helped each other and had fun. They put the cookies in the oven and waited for them to bake. They smelled delicious. When dad came home, they gave him a big plate of cookies and said, "We made these for you, dad. We hope you like them." + +Dad was very happy. He said, "Wow, these cookies look amazing. Thank you, Sara and Tom. You are very sweet and clever. Can I have one?" + +Sara and Tom said, "Yes, dad. You can have as many as you want. We love you, dad." + +They all sat down and enjoyed the cookies together. They were very yummy. Sara and Tom learned to share and cooperate.

Lily liked to hold her mom's hand and sit on her shoulder. She liked to see the birds, the flowers, the cars. She liked to hear her mom's voice and laugh. + +One day, they saw a man. He was tall and had a big coat. He had a smile that was not nice. He looked at Lily's mom and said, "You are very attractive. Can I talk to you?" Lily's mom said, "No, thank you. We have to go." She walked faster and held Lily tighter. + +But the man followed them. He walked faster too. He said, "Don't be rude. I just want to be your friend." He reached for Lily's mom's hand. Lily's mom said, "Stop! Leave us alone!" She tried to run, but the man was stronger. He grabbed her hand and pulled her. He said, "Come with me. You will like me." + +Lily was scared. She screamed and kicked. She bit the man's arm. He let go of her mom's hand and slapped Lily. Lily fell off her mom's shoulder and hit the ground. She felt pain and blood. She cried and cried. + +The man ran away. Lily's mom picked her up and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You are brave, you are good. I love you, I love you." She called for help. She hoped Lily would be okay. She hoped the man would never come back. She was sad and angry. She wished they never saw the man. She wished they never walked that way. +Lily liked to spend time with her dad in his work room. He had many things that she did not know, but he showed her how they worked. One day, he showed her a microscope. He said it was a tool to see very small things. + +He put a drop of water on a glass slide and put it under the microscope. He let Lily look through the eye piece. She saw many tiny things moving and swimming. She gasped and said, "Wow, what are they?" + +"They are called microbes," her dad said. "They are living things that we cannot see with our eyes. Some of them are good and some of them are bad. Some of them can make us sick." + +Lily saw one microbe that looked bigger and fiercer than the others. It had many legs and a mouth with teeth. It chased and ate the other microbes. Lily was scared and said, "Dad, that one is mean. It is eating the others. Can it eat us?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "No, it cannot eat us. It is too small. And we have ways to protect ourselves from the bad microbes. We wash our hands, we eat healthy food, we get shots, and we take medicine when we are sick. The good microbes help us too. They live in our body and fight the bad ones." + +Lily felt better and said, "I like the good microbes. They are nice. Can I see more of them?" + +Her dad nodded and said, "Sure, let's look at some more slides. Maybe we can find some friendly microbes that you can name." He took out another slide and put it under the microscope. Lily looked and saw more amazing things. She was happy and curious. She liked to spend time with her dad and his microscope. +Lily loved to swing on the big swing in the park. She liked to go high and feel the wind in her hair. She would swing and sing and laugh with joy. + +One day, it was very cold and rainy. Lily could not go to the park. She was sad and bored. She looked out of the window and saw the gray sky and the wet grass. + +She asked her mom if she could swing inside the house. Her mom said no, that was not safe. She said there was no room for a swing in the house. She said they had a fireplace that was warm and cozy. + +Lily did not care about the fireplace. She wanted to swing. She saw a long rope hanging from the ceiling. It was part of a chandelier that was very expensive and shiny. Lily thought it looked like a swing. + +She climbed on a chair and grabbed the rope. She pulled and pushed and made the rope swing. She felt happy and excited. She did not see the chandelier wobble and shake. + +She swung faster and faster. She did not hear her mom scream. She did not see the chandelier fall and crash. She did not feel the glass cut her skin. + +She only felt the pain when she hit the floor. She cried and cried. She saw the blood and the fire. She saw her mom run to her and hug her. She saw the firemen come and put out the fire. + +She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had stayed by the fireplace. She wished she had not swung on the expensive chandelier. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy in the living room. They saw the stove and wondered what was inside. Lily was curious and wanted to open the door, but Max was scared and told her to stop. + +"Don't dare to open the stove, Lily! It is hot and dangerous! Mom said so!" Max said. + +"But I want to see what is inside! Maybe there is a cake or a pie or something yummy!" Lily said. + +She reached for the handle, but Max pulled her back. He pointed to the red light on the stove that meant it was on. + +"Look, Lily, the stove is on! It will burn you if you touch it! We have to wait for Mom to come and turn it off!" Max said. + +Lily was disappointed, but she listened to Max. She did not want to get hurt or make Mom angry. She decided to play with something else in the kitchen, like the spoons and the cups. + +But then, they heard a loud noise from the living room. It sounded like something had fallen and broken. They ran to see what had happened, and they forgot about the stove. + +Mom was picking up the pieces of a vase that had slipped from her hand. She was not hurt, but she was sad. The vase was a gift from Grandma, and it was very pretty. + +"Oh, no, I'm so sorry, Mom! Are you okay?" Lily and Max asked. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm okay, thank you. But the vase is broken, and I can't fix it. It was very special to me." + +Lily and Max felt sorry for Mom. They wanted to cheer her up. They remembered the stove and had an idea. + +"Mom, we have a surprise for you in the kitchen! Come and see!" Lily and Max said. + +They took Mom by the hand and led her to the stove. They opened the door and showed her what was inside. + +There was a cake, a big and beautiful cake, with frosting and sprinkles and candles. It smelled delicious and looked amazing. + +Mom gasped and smiled. She could not believe her eyes. + +"Who made this cake? How did you do it?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Max grinned and said, "We did it, Mom! We made it for you! We wanted to make you happy!" + +Mom hugged them and said, "You did? You made this cake for me? How sweet and thoughtful of you! I'm so happy and proud of you!" + +She kissed them and thanked them. She said they were the best kids in the world. She said they could have a slice of cake after dinner. + +Lily and Max were happy too. They had made Mom happy, and they had made a cake. They did not tell Mom that they had found the cake in the stove, already baked and ready. They did not know who had put it there, or why, or how. They did not care. They just thought it was a lucky and wonderful thing. They did not dare to ask any questions. They just enjoyed the cake and the moment. +Sara loves to bake with her mom. Today, they are making a cake for dad's birthday. Sara helps mom to mix the flour, sugar, eggs and milk in a big bowl. She also adds some chocolate chips, because dad likes chocolate. + +"Can I lick the spoon, mom?" Sara asks politely. + +"Of course, you can, sweetie. You are such a good helper," mom says and gives Sara the spoon. Sara licks the spoon and smiles. It tastes yummy. + +Mom pours the batter into a round pan and puts it in the oven. She sets the timer and tells Sara to wait for the beep. Sara sits on a chair and watches the cake through the oven window. She sees it rise and turn golden. + +"Beep, beep, beep!" The timer goes off. Mom puts on oven mitts and takes out the cake. She puts it on a rack to cool down. + +"Wow, mom, it looks amazing!" Sara says. + +"Thank you, Sara. You did a great job. Now, let's decorate it with some frosting and sprinkles," mom says. + +They spread some white frosting on the cake and make colorful dots with sprinkles. They also write "Happy Birthday Dad" with a piping bag. + +The cake is ready. Sara and mom put it on a plate and cover it with a cloth. They hide it in the kitchen until dad comes home. + +"Surprise!" They shout when dad walks in. They show him the cake and sing "Happy Birthday" to him. + +Dad is very happy and hugs Sara and mom. He says the cake is the best gift ever. He cuts a slice for everyone and they enjoy it together. + +Sara feels proud and happy. She loves to bake with her mom.

They were very lively and happy. + +"Look, Lily, a big dog!" Ben said, pointing to a furry animal that was walking with a man. "Can we pet it?" + +Lily nodded and ran towards the dog. She liked dogs very much. She reached out her hand and said, "Hello, doggy, you are very soft and nice. What is your name?" + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Lily's face. The man smiled and said, "His name is Max. He is very friendly and loves children. Do you want to play with him for a minute?" + +Lily and Ben were very excited. They said, "Yes, please!" and started to throw a ball for Max to fetch. Max ran after the ball and brought it back to them. He barked and jumped and made them laugh. + +They played with Max for a long time. They forgot about the swings and the slide. They only wanted to be with Max. He was their new friend. + +But then, the man said, "It's time to go, Max. We have to go home now. Say goodbye to Lily and Ben." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They hugged Max and said, "Goodbye, Max. We will miss you. You are the best dog ever. Can we see you again?" + +The man said, "Maybe. We come to this park often. Maybe we will meet again someday. But you have to remember, Max is not your dog. He is my dog. You have to ask me before you pet him, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They said, "Okay. Thank you for letting us play with Max. He is very fun and kind. We will remember him always." + +The man said, "You're welcome. You are very polite and sweet. Max likes you too.
