"You make me so proud." + +Lily hugged mother and kissed her cheek. + +"Thank you, mother," she said. "You are my best friend. I love you." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play at the beach. They see the ocean. The ocean is big and blue. It makes noise and moves. + +"Look, Sara, a boat!" Ben says. He points at a white boat on the water. "It is big and fast." + +Sara nods. She sees the boat. She also sees something else. It is round and gray. It has a hole on its head. It comes out of the water and makes a sound. + +"Wow, Ben, a whale!" Sara says. She claps her hands. "It is fat and strong." + +Ben looks at the whale. He is amazed. He wants to see more. He runs to the water. He waves at the whale. + +"Hello, whale!" Ben shouts. "Do you want to play?" + +The whale hears Ben. It is curious. It swims closer to the shore. It splashes water with its tail. It makes another sound. + +"Hello, boy!" the whale says. "I like to play. But be careful. The ocean is deep and cold. Stay with your sister." + +Ben smiles. He is happy. He stays with Sara. They watch the whale. They have fun at the beach. They love the ocean. +Lily and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals. They got in the big van and put on their seat belts. Mom drove the van and dad played music. + +"Can we see the lions first?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. Lions are very big and loud. They roar like this: Rrrrr!" Dad said. + +Ben laughed and tried to roar too. He liked lions. He also liked monkeys and elephants and penguins. + +The van stopped at a red light. Lily and Ben looked out the window. They saw a man with a dog. The dog was small and white and fluffy. It barked at the van. + +"Look, a doggy!" Ben said. + +"Can we pet the doggy, mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom shook her head. "No, sweetie. We don't know the doggy or the man. They might not like it if we touch them. We have to ask first." + +The light turned green and the van moved again. Lily and Ben felt a little sad. They wanted to pet the doggy. But they understood that mom was right. They had to be polite and careful. + +"Maybe we can pet some animals at the zoo," dad said. "Some animals are friendly and let you touch them. But some animals are nervous and scared. They might bite or scratch you. You have to listen to the zookeepers and follow the rules." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be good and safe. They also wanted to have fun and learn. They hoped the zoo would be amazing. They smiled and hugged each other. They loved their mom and dad and their big van. They were happy. +Tim and Mia are twins. They live in a big house with their mom and dad. Their mom and dad are rich. They have many toys and clothes and books. + +One morning, Tim and Mia wake up early. They look out of their window. They see fog. The fog is white and thick. They cannot see the trees or the cars or the birds. + +"Wow, look at the fog!" Tim says. "It is like a big blanket." + +"Let's go outside and play in the fog!" Mia says. "Maybe we can find some fairies or dragons." + +They put on their coats and boots and hats. They run downstairs. They see their mom in the kitchen. She is making pancakes. + +"Good morning, Tim and Mia," their mom says. "Do you want some pancakes?" + +"No, thank you, mom," Tim and Mia say. "We want to go outside and play in the fog." + +"Okay, but be careful," their mom says. "The fog can make you lose your way. Stay close to the house and come back soon." + +Tim and Mia nod. They open the door and go outside. The fog is cold and wet. They hold hands and walk in the fog. They pretend they are explorers. They have fun in the fog. +Anna and Ben are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play together at recess. But sometimes they disagree. + +One day, they find a big ball in the playground. Anna wants to kick the ball. Ben wants to throw the ball. + +"Let me kick the ball!" Anna says. + +"No, let me throw the ball!" Ben says. + +They pull the ball from each other. They disagree. + +They are so busy disagreeing that they do not see the teacher coming. The teacher is clumsy. She trips over the ball and falls down. She hurts her knee. + +"Ouch!" the teacher says. + +Anna and Ben stop disagreeing. They feel sorry for the teacher. They help her get up. They say sorry. + +The teacher smiles. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. It's okay to disagree sometimes, but you have to be careful and share. Do you want to play with the ball together?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They agree. They kick and throw the ball together. They have fun. They are friends again. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play outside in the snow. But they had only one coat. It was big and red and warm. + +"Let me wear the coat first," Lily said. "I am cold." + +"No, I want to wear the coat first," Tom said. "I am colder." + +They both pulled the coat. They both wanted the coat. They both cried. + +Mama heard them. She came outside. She saw them fighting over the coat. + +"Why are you fighting?" Mama asked. "You are twins. You should share." + +"But we are cold," Lily and Tom said. "We both need the coat." + +Mama smiled. She had an idea. She took the coat from them. She put it on the ground. She folded it in half. She made two holes in it. + +"Look," Mama said. "Now you have two coats. One for each of you. You can both wear a coat and be warm." + +Lily and Tom looked at the coat. It was not big and red and warm anymore. It was small and red and half-warm. But they saw Mama's face. She was happy and generous. + +They put on the coat. They hugged Mama. They said thank you. + +They played outside in the snow. They were not cold. They were happy. They shared. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big zipper on the floor of their classroom. It was shiny and colorful, and they thought it was very attractive. + +"Wow, look at this zipper!" Tom said. "It is so long and pretty. I wonder what it is for." + +"Maybe it is for a giant jacket or a big bag," Lily said. "Can we try to zip it and unzip it?" + +"Yes, let's do that. It looks like fun," Tom said. They took the zipper and pulled the slider up and down. They heard a zipping sound that excited them. + +They zipped and unzipped the zipper many times, making different shapes and patterns with it. They laughed and giggled as they played with the zipper. They felt happy and curious. + +But then, their teacher came and saw them with the zipper. She was not happy. She looked angry and stern. + +"Tom and Lily, what are you doing with that zipper?" she asked. "That is not a toy. That is a part of the art project that we are going to do later. You should not touch it without permission. You could break it or hurt yourself." + +Tom and Lily felt scared and sorry. They did not know that the zipper was for the art project. They did not mean to make their teacher angry. + +"We are sorry, teacher," they said. "We did not know. We just thought it was attractive and exciting. We will not touch it again." + +The teacher sighed and took the zipper from them. She told them to sit down and wait for the art project. She said they would learn how to use the zipper properly and make something beautiful with it. + +Tom and Lily nodded and sat down. They felt sad and ashamed. They hoped their teacher would forgive them and let them play with the zipper again. They still thought it was attractive and exciting. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. You move the pieces on a board with squares. You try to catch the king of the other color. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park. They bring their chess set. They find a bench and set up the board. They are ready to play. + +"Can I go first?" Lily asks. + +"OK, you can go first," Ben says. He is nice. + +Lily moves a piece. Ben moves a piece. They take turns. They think hard. They have fun. + +A man walks by. He sees them playing chess. He stops and watches. He smiles. + +"Wow, you are amazing!" he says. "You are so young and you can play chess. How did you learn?" + +Lily and Ben look at him. They are shy. + +"Our dads taught us," Lily says. + +"They allow us to play chess at home," Ben says. + +"That's wonderful," the man says. "You are very smart and lucky. Chess is a good game. It helps you think and have fun. Keep playing and learning. Maybe one day you will be chess champions." + +Lily and Ben smile. They say thank you. They are happy. They like chess. They like the man. They keep playing. They are amazing. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to zoom them on the grass and pretend they were racing. Sometimes they made vroom-vroom noises and cheered for their cars. + +One day, they saw a big puddle of water in the corner of the yard. It looked like a shiny oasis, where their cars could splash and cool off. Ben and Lily ran to the puddle with their cars and started to zoom them in the water. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Ben said to Lily. + +"No, mine is faster!" Lily said back. + +They zoomed their cars faster and faster, until they bumped into each other. The cars flew out of the puddle and landed on the dirt. They were wet and muddy and some of their wheels came off. + +"Oh no, our cars are broken!" Ben and Lily cried. + +They picked up their cars and tried to fix them, but they couldn't. They felt sad and angry. They blamed each other for ruining their cars. + +"It's your fault, you zoomed too fast!" Ben said to Lily. + +"No, it's your fault, you zoomed too close!" Lily said to Ben. + +They started to argue and shout. They didn't want to play with each other anymore. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw their broken cars and their wet and muddy clothes. She saw their chubby faces and their frowny mouths. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily told her what happened. They both said it was the other's fault. They both said they didn't want to be friends anymore. + +Mom shook her head and sighed. She said, "You two are silly. You were having so much fun with your cars, but you let a little bump ruin your day. You should have been more careful and more kind. You should have said sorry and helped each other. You should have remembered that your cars are just toys, but your friendship is more important." + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that mom was right. They hugged each other and said sorry. They said they still wanted to be friends. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, let's go inside and clean up. Maybe we can find some glue and fix your cars. Or maybe we can find some new toys to play with. But remember, no matter what you play with, always play nice." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We will." + +They followed mom inside, holding hands and carrying their cars. They learned their lesson. They learned that zooming is fun, but friendship is more fun. +Tom likes to act. He likes to pretend he is someone else. He likes to make funny faces and voices. He likes to wear costumes and hats. He likes to act with his friends. + +One day, Tom and his friends decide to act for the TV. They find a big black box in the garage. They put it on a table and make a hole in it. They say it is a TV. They take turns to act in front of the hole. They act like animals, like superheroes, like pirates, like princesses. + +Tom acts like a lion. He puts on a yellow shirt and a brown belt. He makes a mane with a scarf. He roars and growls and paws the air. He says, "I am the king of the jungle. I am strong and brave. I can scare anyone." + +His friends watch him from behind the box. They clap and cheer. They say, "You are a great lion, Tom. You are very good at acting. You look like a real lion." + +Tom feels happy. He likes to act for the TV. He likes to make his friends happy. He says, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind. Who wants to act next?" +Lily and Ben like to play sport in the park. They run and kick a ball. They have fun. But sometimes they see a big car on the road. The car is fast and loud. Lily and Ben know they have to stop and yield. Yield means to let the car go first. + +One day, they see a new car in the park. The car is small and red. It has a funny face on the front. The car is not fast and loud. It is slow and quiet. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the car. + +"Hello, car," Lily says. "What are you doing here?" + +The car beeps and smiles. "Hello, Lily and Ben," the car says. "I am a toy car. I am here to play with you." + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They have never seen a toy car that can talk. They think the car is friendly. + +"Can we play with you?" Ben asks. + +"Sure," the car says. "But you have to be careful. I am not a real car. I can't yield to big cars. You have to help me." + +Lily and Ben nod. They agree to help the car. They take turns to ride the car and push the car. They have more fun. The car is warm and cozy. The car is happy. He likes Lily and Ben. They are his new friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. He looked friendly and reliable. + +But then, a big wind came and blew the hat and the scarf away. The snowman's nose and eyes fell off too. Lily and Max were sad. They tried to fix their snowman, but the snow was too soft and powdery. It did not stick together well. + +They decided to go inside and have some hot chocolate. Their mom was waiting for them with a warm smile. She gave them each a mug and a cookie. She told them to relax and enjoy their treat. She said they could make another snowman tomorrow, when the snow was harder. + +Lily and Max felt better. They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookie. They thanked their mom for being so nice and caring. They hugged their mom and told her they loved her. They were glad they had a reliable mom who always made them feel better. +Lila and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the hippo. The hippo was big and gray, and had a big mouth and teeth. + +"Look, the hippo is signing!" Lila said. She pointed to the hippo, who was making hand gestures with his front legs. "He is saying hello to us!" + +"Wow, that is cool!" Ben said. "Can we sign back to him?" + +"Sure, let's try!" Lila said. She and Ben copied the hippo's signs, and waved their hands. The hippo seemed happy, and made more signs. + +"Hello, kids!" a voice said. Lila and Ben turned around, and saw a lady with a colorful shirt and a badge. She was holding a tablet. "I am Anna, and I work here at the zoo. I am the hippo's trainer. He can understand some signs, and I can translate for you. Do you want to talk to him?" + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said. They were very excited. They followed Anna to the hippo's pool, and learned his name, his age, and his favorite food. They also gave him some carrots, and he thanked them with a sign. Lila and Ben had a lot of fun, and made a new friend. They thanked Anna and the hippo, and said goodbye. They told Mom and Dad all about their adventure, and asked to come back to the zoo soon. +Tom and Sam like to race. They run fast on the grass. They want to see who is faster. They laugh and shout. + +One day, they race to the big tree. Tom is ahead. He is happy. He thinks he will win. But then he sees a rock. He does not see it in time. He stumbles on the rock. He falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Sam sees Tom fall. He stops running. He runs back to Tom. He helps him up. He says he is sorry. He asks if he is okay. He gives him a hug. + +Tom stops crying. He says he is okay. He thanks Sam. He says he is a good friend. He says he does not care about the race. He says they can race another day. + +They walk to the big tree. They sit under it. They look at the sky. The sky is dull. It has no sun. It has no colors. They do not mind. They have each other. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the farm. They had many friends, like the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. But their favorite friends were the sheep. The sheep were soft and white, and they made funny noises. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to have a picnic with the sheep. They brought some bread, cheese, and apples, and a big blanket. They spread the blanket on the grass, and invited the sheep to join them. The sheep were happy, and came to eat and play. + +"Hello, sheep," said Tom. "Do you like the cheese?" + +"Baa, baa," said the sheep, nodding their heads. + +"Hello, sheep," said Lily. "Do you like the apples?" + +"Baa, baa," said the sheep, shaking their tails. + +Tom and Lily smiled, and shared their food with the sheep. They also gave them some hugs and strokes. The sheep liked that, and snuggled with them. + +After they finished eating, Tom and Lily asked the sheep a question. They wanted to know what the sheep thought about. + +"Hello, sheep," said Tom. "What do you think about?" + +"Baa, baa," said the sheep, looking at the sky. + +"Hello, sheep," said Lily. "What do you think about?" + +"Baa, baa," said the sheep, looking at the flowers. + +Tom and Lily were puzzled. They did not understand what the sheep meant. They looked at each other, and shrugged. They did not know how to ask the sheep more. + +But they did not mind. They were happy to be with the sheep, and the sheep were happy to be with them. They did not need to think too much. They just enjoyed the picnic, and the sunny day. They were thoughtful, but also cheerful. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a big file in Mom's room. The file has many papers and pictures. Lily and Ben want to see what is inside. + +They try to open the file, but it is locked. They need a key to unlock it. Lily and Ben look for the key. They see it on Mom's desk. But they also see Mom coming back. They are scared. They do not want Mom to be angry. + +Lily and Ben run to the file. They grab the key and the file. They hide under the bed. They hear Mom's footsteps. They try to be calm and quiet. They hope Mom will not find them. + +Mom enters the room. She sees her desk is messy. She sees her key and her file are gone. She is confused. She looks around. She hears a noise under the bed. She bends down and lifts the bedsheet. + +She sees Lily and Ben with the file. They look guilty. Mom is not happy. She asks them why they took her file. Lily and Ben say they are sorry. They say they were curious. They say they wanted to see the papers and pictures. + +Mom sighs. She tells them the file is important. She tells them the file has her work and her memories. She tells them they should not touch her things without asking. She tells them they should share and be nice to each other. + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They give back the key and the file. They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom smiles. She hugs them back and says she loves them too. She says they can look at the file together later. She says they can learn new things and have fun. Lily and Ben are happy. They say yes. They say thank you. They say they are sorry. Mom says it is okay. She says they are good kids. She says they can go and play now. Lily and Ben run to their room. They play with their toys and books. They share and be nice to each other. They are calm and happy. +Tom is a big boy. He likes to help his mom and dad. He has a job. His job is to water the plants in the garden. He has a blue can. He fills the can with water from the tap. He goes to the garden and pours water on the plants. He is happy. + +But one day, it rains a lot. The sky is gray and the wind is strong. The rain makes the garden very wet. Tom cannot water the plants. He is sad. He wants to do his job. He asks his mom, "Mom, can I water the plants?" + +Mom says, "No, Tom. The plants have enough water. They do not need more. If you water them, they will be too wet. They will not grow well. You can do your job another day." + +Tom is not happy. He says, "But I want to water the plants. It is my job. I like my job." + +Mom says, "I know, Tom. But sometimes we cannot do what we want. We have to wait for the right time. Why don't you do something else? You can play with your toys, or read a book, or draw a picture." + +Tom thinks. He does not want to do something else. He wants to water the plants. He says, "No, Mom. I do not want to do something else. I want to water the plants." + +Mom says, "Tom, you are being stubborn. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for the plants. You have to trust me." + +Tom says, "No, Mom. I do not trust you. I trust God. God will make the rain stop. God will let me water the plants. I will pray to God." + +Mom says, "Tom, you can pray to God, but you have to respect his will. God may have a different plan for the plants. God may want them to have more water. God may want them to grow in a different way. You have to accept what God does." + +Tom says, "No, Mom. I do not accept what God does. I know what I want. I want to water the plants. I will pray to God and he will listen to me. He will do what I ask." + +Mom says, "Tom, you are being selfish. You are not thinking about the plants. You are only thinking about yourself. You have to be humble. You have to say, 'God, please help me to do your will. Please help me to love the plants as you love them. Please help me to be patient and grateful.'" + +Tom says, "No, Mom. I do not want to be humble. I want to be happy. I want to do my job. I want to water the plants. I will pray to God and he will make me happy. He will make the rain stop. He will make the sun shine. He will make the plants dry." + +Mom says, "Tom, you are being foolish. You are not understanding how God works. God does not always give us what we want. He gives us what we need. He gives us what is good for us. He gives us what makes us grow. He gives us what makes us closer to him." + +Tom says, "No, Mom. I do not want to grow. I do not want to be closer to God. I want to water the plants. I will pray to God and he will do what I say. He will do what I want. He will do my job." + +Mom says, "Tom, you are being silly. You are not talking to God. You are talking to yourself. You are not praying. You are wishing. You are not listening to God. You are listening to your own voice. You are not loving God. You are loving your own will." + +Tom says, "No, Mom. I am not silly. I am not wishing. I am praying. I am talking to God. I am listening to God. I am loving God. God loves me. God will do what I pray. God will do what I want. God will do my job." + +Mom says, "Tom, you are being wrong. You are not praying. You are demanding. You are not talking to God. You are telling God. You are not listening to God. You are ignoring God. You are not loving God. You are hurting God." + +Tom says, "No, Mom. I am not wrong. I am not demanding. I am praying. I am talking to God. I am listening to God. I am loving God. God loves me. God will do what I pray. God will do what I want. God will do my job." + +Mom says, "Tom, you are being stubborn, selfish, foolish, silly, and wrong. You are not being a good boy. You +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big box with a hole in it. There was a sign that said "Free candy inside". + +"Wow, candy!" Lily said. "Let's go get some." + +Tom was not sure. He looked at the box and the sign. He thought it was strange. + +"Maybe it is a trap," he said. "Maybe someone wants to catch us." + +Lily laughed. She did not believe him. She thought he was scared. + +"Don't be silly," she said. "It is just candy. Come on, it will be fun." + +She ran to the box and crawled inside. Tom followed her. He did not want to be alone. + +When they were inside, they heard a loud noise. The hole closed. They were trapped. They tried to push and kick, but the box was too strong. + +They saw a man come out from behind a tree. He had a mean face and a big bag. He smiled and said, "Ha ha, I got you. You are my lucky catch. I will sell you to the circus." + +Lily and Tom were scared. They cried and shouted, but no one heard them. The man picked up the box and put it in his car. He drove away. + +Lily and Tom never saw their families or the park again. They wished they had listened to Tom. They learned that some things are too good to be true, and that they should be careful of strangers. +Lily liked to sign. She learned many signs from her mom and dad, who used them to talk to her. She signed when she was happy, sad, hungry, or wanted to play. She also liked to sign to her toys, her dog, and the birds in the sky. + +One day, Lily saw a big sign on the lawn of the house next door. It had many words and pictures on it, but she did not know what they meant. She asked her mom, who said it was a sign for a sale. She said people would come and buy things from the house. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what things they had. + +The next day, Lily and her mom went to the sale. There were many things on the lawn: clothes, books, toys, and more. Lily saw a big teddy bear that she liked. She signed to her mom that she wanted it. Her mom said okay, and gave her some money to pay for it. + +Lily walked to the teddy bear and picked it up. She hugged it and signed that she loved it. She was about to give the money to the lady who owned the house, when she heard a loud roar. She turned around and saw a huge lion on the lawn. It had escaped from the cage that was also for sale. It looked angry and hungry. It saw Lily and the teddy bear and ran towards them. + +Lily was scared. She dropped the teddy bear and the money and ran to her mom. Her mom picked her up and ran to their car. They drove away as fast as they could. The lady and the other people at the sale screamed and ran too. The lion chased them and grabbed the teddy bear. It tore it apart and ate it. + +Lily cried. She had lost her teddy bear and her money. She signed to her mom that she was sorry. Her mom hugged her and said it was not her fault. She said the lady was crazy to have a lion for sale. She said they would find another teddy bear for her. She said she was glad they were safe. Lily nodded and signed that she was glad too. She said she did not like lions. She said she liked dogs better. Her mom smiled and said she did too. They went home and played with their dog. They never went to the sale again. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and building things. They did not want to disturb Mom, who was working on her laptop at the table. + +But then, they heard a strange sound from the kitchen. It was a loud and scary sound, like a big thing was breaking. They stopped playing and looked at each other. + +"What was that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a monster?" Tom said. + +They felt afraid and curious. They decided to go and see what made the sound. They walked slowly and quietly to the kitchen door. They peeked inside. + +They saw a big mess on the floor. There were broken plates and cups and food everywhere. And there was a small thing in the middle of it. It was a mouse. The mouse had knocked over a stack of dishes and made the sound. + +The mouse saw Tom and Lily and ran away. Tom and Lily gasped. + +"Wow, that was a naughty mouse!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it was. It disturbed Mom's dishes and made a lot of noise!" Lily said. + +They heard Mom coming from the table. They ran back to the living room and pretended to play with their toys. They hoped Mom would not be angry. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to prepare some snacks for their friends who were coming over. Sara and Ben were very happy and excited. They put on their aprons and washed their hands. + +Mom showed them how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cut them into triangles, and wrap them in paper. Sara and Ben worked together, spreading the peanut butter and jelly, cutting the bread, and wrapping the sandwiches. They made a big pile of snacks on a tray. + +"Good job, Sara and Ben!" mom said. "Now we need to put the tray in the freezer for a little while, so the sandwiches don't get soggy. Can you help me carry the tray?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and lifted the tray with their mom. They walked carefully to the freezer and opened the door. But as they were about to put the tray inside, they saw something surprising. There was a friendly penguin sitting on a shelf, holding a fish in its beak. + +"Hello!" the penguin said. "I'm Pippa, and I'm here to visit. Do you have any snacks for me?" + +Sara and Ben gasped and dropped the tray. The sandwiches fell on the floor and the paper flew everywhere. Mom looked shocked and confused. + +"Pippa, how did you get in here?" mom asked. "And where did you come from?" + +Pippa smiled and winked. "I came from the zoo, of course. I sneaked out when the keeper wasn't looking. I wanted to see the world and make some friends. And I found your freezer, which is nice and cold and full of yummy food. Do you mind if I stay for a while?" + +Sara and Ben looked at each other and then at mom. They didn't know what to say. They had never seen a penguin before, let alone a talking one. But Pippa seemed very friendly and polite. And they had plenty of snacks to share. + +"Sure, Pippa, you can stay for a while," mom said. "But you have to promise to go back to the zoo later. And you have to be nice to our friends who are coming over. They might be scared of you at first, but I'm sure they'll like you once they get to know you." + +Pippa nodded and clapped her flippers. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are very kind and generous. I promise to be nice and friendly. And I'll go back to the zoo later, but only if you come with me and visit me sometimes. Deal?" + +"Deal," mom said. She picked up the tray and the sandwiches and cleaned them up. She put them back in the freezer, next to Pippa. She closed the door and smiled at Sara and Ben. + +"Well, that was unexpected," she said. "But I guess we have a new friend now. And a very interesting story to tell. Are you ready to meet our other friends?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They were ready to meet their other friends. And they couldn't wait to see their reactions when they met Pippa. They hoped they would like her as much as they did. They thought it was going to be a very fun and special day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to build things with their tools. They had a hammer, a saw, a screwdriver and some nails. They wanted to make a birdhouse for their mom. + +"Look, I made a hole for the door," Tom said, using the saw. + +"Good job, Tom. I will hammer the nails," Lily said, picking up the hammer. + +They worked hard and had fun. But then, Tom saw a butterfly. He liked butterflies. He wanted to catch it. He put down his saw and ran after the butterfly. + +"Tom, where are you going?" Lily asked. "We need to finish the birdhouse." + +But Tom did not hear her. He chased the butterfly across the yard. He forgot about the birdhouse and the tools. + +Lily was mad. She wanted to finish the birdhouse. She needed the saw. She looked for Tom. She saw him playing with the butterfly. She was restless. She wanted to play with him, too. But she also wanted to make mom happy. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily shouted. "We need to finish the birdhouse. Mom will be home soon." + +Tom heard Lily. He looked at the butterfly. He looked at the birdhouse. He remembered the tools. He felt sorry. He ran back to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I forgot about the birdhouse and the tools.

Sam says. He bends down to look closer. He sees that some ants are bigger and have wings. "What are those, Tim?" + +Tim shrugs. He does not know. He picks up a stick and pokes the line. The ants get angry. They start to bite Tim's hand. Tim screams and drops the stick. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The ants are biting me!" Tim cries. He runs to his mom, who is sitting on a bench. Sam follows him. + +Mom sees Tim's hand. It is red and swollen. She takes out a wet wipe and cleans it. She gives Tim a hug and a kiss. + +"Tim, you should not poke the ants. They are living things. They do not like to be bothered," Mom says. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to discover what they were doing," Tim says. + +"It's okay, Tim. You were curious. But next time, be careful and respectful. Ants are not toys. They have a home and a family, just like us," Mom says. + +Tim nods. He feels sorry for the ants. He looks at Sam. Sam looks at him. + +"Sam, do you think the ants are ugly?" Tim asks. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He shakes his head. + +"No, Tim. I think they are amazing. They work hard and help each other. They are not ugly. They are different," Sam says. + +Tim smiles. He agrees with Sam. He decides to learn more about ants, but not to poke them again. He and Sam go back to the park. They watch the ants from a distance. They discover many new things.

She repeated the words. + +Her mom was very upset. She said, "Lila, you are being very naughty. You are not a princess. You are a little girl who needs to learn to respect other people's things.

Can I have a kiss?" + +Her mom kissed her and said, "Of course, you can. You are my sweet girl. Now, let's go and have some juice. You must be thirsty.

We can watch from here," mom said. + +Lily and Tom were sad, but they sat on a bench and looked at the balloon. It was very pretty. They saw a man in the basket. He had a hat and a big stick. He used the stick to make fire. The fire made the balloon rise higher and higher. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Tom said. "It is so bright and warm." + +"Yes, and look at the balloon!" Lily said. "It is so graceful and smooth." + +They watched the balloon go up and down, left and right. It made shapes in the sky. It looked like a flower, a star, a heart, and a smiley face.

Lily and Tom both wanted it, but there was only one left. + +"Mom, can we have that one?" they asked together. + +"Sorry, sweeties, but you have to pick one each. Maybe you can share it?" mom said. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and frowned. They did not want to share the new pastry. They wanted it all for themselves. + +"I saw it first!" Lily said. + +"No, I did!" Tom said. + +They started to complain and argue. They pulled the pastry from each other and made it tear. The sprinkles fell on the floor. + +Mom was not happy. She took the pastry away from them and gave it to the baker. + +"Sorry, sir, they ruined your pastry. Here, take this money," she said. + +She turned to Lily and Tom and said, "You two should be ashamed. You were greedy and rude. Now you get no pastry at all. Come on, let's go home." + +Lily and Tom felt sad and sorry. They wished they had shared the new pastry. They learned their lesson. + +They hugged mom and said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you." + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too. But next time, be nice and share." + +They nodded and walked home.

"We can make it if we are brave and strong." + +They marched and marched, holding hands. They felt their feet burn and their mouths dry. They tried not to look at the sun or the sand.

He says they are not listening. He says they are not eating. He says they are not playing. + +He throws the bow in the trash. He tells them to go to their beds. He does not give them a hug. He does not give them a kiss. He does not say he loves them. + +Tim and Jen cry. They are very sad. They are very sorry. They want their bow back. They want their dad back. They want their fun back. + +But it is too late. The bow is gone. The dad is gone. The fun is gone. + +The end. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has oil in it. The oil is cool and shiny. + +"Look, oil!" Tom says. He runs to the truck. He wants to touch the oil. + +"Wait, Tom!" Jen says. She is scared. "The oil is not for us. It is for the truck. It can be bad for you." + +But Tom does not listen. He climbs on the truck. He puts his hand in the oil. He laughs. He thinks it is fun. + +"Tom, come down!" Jen says. She is angry. "You are making a mess. You are being silly." + +But Tom does not hear. He plays with the oil. He throws some oil at Jen. Jen gets wet and dirty. She cries. She does not like it. + +"Tom, stop!" Jen says. She is sad. "You are not my friend. You are mean." + +But Tom does not care. He laughs more. He thinks it is a game. + +Then, the truck driver comes. He sees Tom and Jen. He sees the oil. He is very mad. + +"Hey, you kids!" he shouts. "What are you doing? Get off my truck! You are ruining my oil!" + +He grabs Tom and Jen. He takes them off the truck. He scolds them. He tells them to go away. + +Tom and Jen are scared. They run away. They are sorry. They are not happy. + +They look at each other. They do not laugh. They do not talk. They do not play. They go home. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Lily sees a big round ball near the swings. She wants to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a ball!" she says. "Let's go and get it!" + +But Ben sees a shiny red car on the grass. He wants to play with it. + +"No, Lily, a car!" he says. "Let's go and get it!" + +Lily and Ben are stubborn. They do not want to share. They both rush to get what they want. They do not look where they are going. They bump into each other. They fall down. They hurt their knees. They cry. + +A lady comes to help them. She is the owner of the ball and the car. She is nice. She picks them up and hugs them. + +"Are you okay, children?" she asks. "You should be careful when you run. And you should share your toys. Do you want to play with the ball and the car together?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are sorry. They say thank you to the lady. They play with the ball and the car together. They have fun. They are not stubborn anymore. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are friends who like to play with toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite ones are the water guns. They like to shoot water at each other and make each other wet and laugh. + +One day, they find a new water gun in the toy store. It is big and purple and has a lot of buttons. Tom and Mia want to buy it, but it is very expensive. They only have enough money for one water gun, not two. + +Tom and Mia start to argue about who should get the water gun. They both say they want it more and they deserve it more. They get angry and stop being friends. They each take half of the money and go to different parts of the store. + +Tom buys a small water gun that is green and has a tight trigger. He thinks it is better than the purple one. Mia buys a balloon that is yellow and has a smiley face. She thinks it is better than the water gun. They both leave the store without saying goodbye. + +Tom and Mia go to the park to play with their new toys. But they soon find out that they are not very fun. Tom's water gun is hard to shoot and does not make much water. Mia's balloon is easy to pop and does not make any sound. They both feel sad and lonely. + +They see each other from across the park. They remember how much fun they had with their old water guns. They realize that they made a mistake. They run to each other and say they are sorry. They hug and make up. They decide to share their toys and play together. They learn that friendship is more important than things. They are happy again. +Tom and Anna are friends who like to draw. They have many colors and papers to make pictures. One day, they want to make a big picture of a farm with animals and plants. They need a lot of space, so they go to the library. + +The library has many books and computers, but also a big printer. The printer can make copies of pictures and words. Tom and Anna think the printer is fun. They draw a cow, a pig, a chicken, a tree and a flower. Then they go to the printer and put their papers in. They press a button and wait. + +But the printer is slow. It makes noises and flashes, but it does not give them their copies. Tom and Anna are impatient. They want their pictures now. They press the button again and again. They pull the papers out and put them back in. They make a mess. + +The librarian sees them and is angry. She tells them to stop. She says the printer is broken and they have to wait. She says they are rude and wasteful. She says they have to clean up and say sorry. She says they have to learn to be patient and respectful. + +Tom and Anna are sad and ashamed. They realize they did something bad. They say sorry to the librarian and help her clean up. They say sorry to each other and hug. They learn their lesson. They decide to finish their picture at home, with their own colors and papers. They are happy and proud. They know that patience and respect are important. +Tim and Mia liked to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They had hats and swords and a map. The map showed them where to find gold. They wanted to be rich and have many toys. + +One day, they sailed to a new island. They followed the map to a big cave. Inside the cave, they saw a lot of gold. It was shiny and bright. They were very happy. They started to fill their bags with gold. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. It was a dragon. The dragon was guarding the gold. It was angry and hungry. It had scales and teeth and fire. It wanted to eat Tim and Mia. + +Tim and Mia were scared. They dropped their bags and ran. They ran back to their ship. They left the gold behind. They did not want to be eaten. + +As they sailed away, Tim said to Mia, "That was a close one. We are lucky to be alive." Mia nodded. She said, "Yes, we are. But you know what? I don't care about the gold anymore. I just want to be safe and have fun with you. You are my best friend." + +Tim smiled. He said, "You are my best friend too. And you know what? You remind me of someone. You remind me of a brave pirate. A brave pirate who can face any danger." Mia laughed. She said, "And you remind me of someone too. You remind me of a smart pirate. A smart pirate who can find any treasure." They hugged and sailed away. They were happy. They did not need gold. They had each other. +Ben had a new dog. His name was Spot. Spot was big and brown and had a white spot on his head. Ben loved Spot very much. He liked to play with him and hug him and give him treats. + +One day, Ben and Spot went to the park with Mom. Mom said, "Ben, you have to hold Spot's leash. He is still learning to do what you say. He might run away if he sees a squirrel or a bird." Ben nodded and held Spot's leash tight. He wanted to be a good dog owner. + +At the park, Ben saw his friend Lily. Lily had a new bike. It was pink and shiny and had a bell. Ben wanted to try it. He said, "Hi, Lily. Can I ride your bike?" Lily said, "Sure, Ben. But be careful. It is new and fast." Ben smiled and let go of Spot's leash. He ran to Lily's bike and got on it. + +Spot saw a squirrel. He barked and chased it. He did not see the leash on the ground. He tripped over it and fell. He hurt his heel. He yelped and whimpered. Ben heard him and turned around. He saw Spot lying on the grass. He felt sorry and scared. He dropped Lily's bike and ran to Spot. He said, "Spot, are you okay? I'm sorry. I should have held your leash." + +Mom came over and checked Spot's heel. She said, "It's not too bad. He just scraped it a little. He will be fine. But you have to be more careful, Ben. You have to watch your dog and keep him safe. He is your responsibility." Ben nodded and hugged Spot. He said, "I'm sorry, Spot. I love you. You are my best friend." Spot licked Ben's face and wagged his tail. He forgave Ben. Ben learned his lesson. He never let go of Spot's leash again. +Lila wanted to buy a new purse. She liked purses with many colors and shapes. She saw a very unusual purse in the shop window. It had stars and moons and flowers on it. She asked her mom if she could have it. + +"Sorry, Lila, but we don't have enough money for that purse. It is too expensive. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later," her mom said. + +Lila was sad. She really wanted the unusual purse. She thought of a plan. She decided to complete some chores and earn some money. She helped her mom wash the dishes, fold the clothes, and sweep the floor. She also helped her dad water the plants, feed the dog, and take out the trash. She worked very hard and saved some money. + +The next day, she went to the shop with her mom. She was happy to see that the unusual purse was still there. She counted her money and gave it to the shopkeeper. + +"Thank you, Lila. You have enough money for the purse. Here you go," the shopkeeper said. + +Lila was very excited. She took the purse and hugged it. She thanked the shopkeeper and her mom. She opened the purse and looked inside. She was shocked. There was nothing inside the purse. It was empty. It was not a real purse. It was a fake purse. It was a trick. + +Lila started to cry. She felt cheated and angry. She wanted to return the purse and get her money back. But the shopkeeper said no. He said it was her fault for not checking the purse before buying it. He said he would not give her any money back. He said he would call the police if she made any trouble. + +Lila and her mom had to leave the shop. They had no money and no purse. They had only a fake purse that was useless. Lila learned a hard lesson. She learned that some people are not honest and some things are not what they seem. She learned that she should be careful and smart when she buys something. She learned that she should not trust strangers. She learned that she should not want things that are too unusual. She wished she had never seen the unusual purse. She wished she had never bought it. She wished she had never completed the chores. She wished she had never saved the money. She wished she had never gone to the shop. She wished she had never been born. She was very unhappy. She had a bad ending. +Lily loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She goes to the library with her mom every week. She can borrow two books each time. + +Today, Lily sees a book that she really wants. It has a big red dragon on the cover. She runs to the shelf and reaches for the book. But another boy gets there first. He grabs the book and holds it tight. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily says. "I saw it first!" + +"No, I did!" the boy says. "It's mine!" + +Lily feels sad and angry. She wants the dragon book. She looks around for another book, but none of them seem as good. She does not want to read about cars or cats or cows. She only wants the dragon. + +She goes to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Sometimes we can't have what we want. Maybe the boy will return the book soon and you can borrow it next time. Or maybe we can find another book that you like." + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want another book. She says, "But mom, there are no other books like that. That was the only dragon book available." + +Her mom smiles and says, "Are you sure? Maybe there are more dragon books in another section. Let's go and see." + +She takes Lily by the hand and leads her to a different shelf. There, Lily sees many books with dragons on them. Some are big, some are small, some are green, some are blue. Lily's eyes light up. She says, "Wow, look at all the dragons! Can I borrow one of these?" + +Her mom nods and says, "Of course, Lily. You can choose any book you like. As long as it's available." +Tom and Mia liked to read books. They read books about animals, plants, and places. They learned many new things from books. One day, they found a book about the sea. They saw pictures of fish, crabs, and oysters. They wanted to know more about oysters. + +"Oysters are shells that live in the water. They have pearls inside them. Pearls are shiny and round. People like pearls," Tom read. + +"Wow, oysters are amazing. I wish I could see an oyster and a pearl," Mia said. + +"Maybe we can. Let's go to the beach and look for oysters," Tom said. + +They asked their mom if they could go to the beach. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not go too far. They took the book and a bucket and went to the beach. They looked for oysters among the rocks and the sand. They found many small oysters, but no pearls. They put some oysters in their bucket. + +"Look, Tom, I found an enormous oyster. It is bigger than my hand. Maybe it has a big pearl inside," Mia said. She showed Tom the oyster. + +"Wow, Mia, you are right. It is enormous. Let's open it and see," Tom said. He tried to open the oyster with a stick, but it was too hard. + +"Let me try," Mia said. She took the stick and pushed harder. The oyster opened with a snap. They looked inside. + +"Wow, wow, wow! It has a pearl! A big, shiny, round pearl! We are so lucky!" Mia said. She took the pearl and held it in her hand. + +"Wow, Mia, it is beautiful. You found it. You can keep it," Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. But I want to share it with you. You are my brother and my friend. We can both have it," Mia said. + +They hugged and smiled. They put the pearl in their bucket and went back to their mom. They showed her the pearl and the book. Their mom was proud of them. She said they were smart and generous. She said they learned a lot from reading books and from each other. She said they could keep the pearl as a souvenir of their adventure. They thanked their mom and hugged her. They were happy. They learned that reading books is fun and that sharing is caring. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big swing. The swing has a long chain and a round seat. Lily and Ben want to try the swing. + +"Can I go first?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. He helps Lily sit on the seat. He holds the chain and pushes Lily. Lily feels happy. She swings high and low. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily says. "Thank you, Ben!" + +Lily swings for a long time. Ben waits and waits. He wants to swing too. He feels bored and sad. + +"Lily, can I have a turn?" Ben asks. + +"Not yet, I'm not ready," Lily says. She swings higher and higher. She does not look at Ben. + +Ben feels angry. He thinks Lily is not fair. He lets go of the chain. Lily does not see him. She swings too high. She loses her balance. She falls off the seat. She lands on the grass. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says. She hurts her knee and her elbow. She looks for Ben. She does not see him. She feels scared and sorry. + +Ben hears Lily cry. He runs to her. He sees her blood and tears. He feels sorry too. He holds her hand. He helps her stand up. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I should not have let go of the chain. Are you OK?" + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says. "I should have shared the swing with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben nods. He hugs Lily. They are friends again. They walk to the bench. They find a band-aid and a juice box. They take care of each other. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Be fair and kind to your friends. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a man with a big hat and sunglasses. He is talking on his phone. + +"Who is he?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a spy," Ben says. + +They sneak closer to the man and try to hear what he is saying. + +"Hello, this is Agent X. I have found the secret map. It is hidden in the sunglasses. I need backup. Over," the man says. + +Lily and Ben gasp. They think the man is very interesting. They want to see the secret map. + +"Let's take his sunglasses when he is not looking," Lily says. + +"OK, but be careful. He might have a gun," Ben says. + +They wait for the right moment. When the man looks away, they run to him and grab his sunglasses. They run away as fast as they can. + +"Hey, stop! Give me back my sunglasses!" the man shouts. + +He chases them, but they are too quick. They hide behind a tree and look at the sunglasses. They see a paper inside with some lines and dots. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure map," Ben says. + +They are very excited. They want to find the treasure. + +"Let's follow the map," Lily says. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. The spy might still be looking for us," Ben says. + +They put on the sunglasses and start to follow the map. They hope to find something amazing. +Tim and Sam were two boys who liked to play with toy guns. They would run around the yard and pretend to shoot each other and make loud noises. One day, they saw a farmer working in the field next to their house. He had a big hat and a long coat and a real gun. + +"Let's go and shoot the farmer!" Tim said. "It will be fun!" + +"No, that's not nice!" Sam said. "The farmer is not playing. He is working. And his gun is not a toy. It can hurt us!" + +But Tim did not listen. He ran towards the fence and aimed his toy gun at the farmer. He pulled the trigger and shouted, "Bang! Bang! You're dead!" + +The farmer heard the noise and turned around. He saw Tim with his toy gun and got very angry. He thought Tim was trying to scare him or harm his crops. He raised his real gun and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing? Get away from here or I'll shoot you!" + +Tim was scared. He dropped his toy gun and ran back to Sam. He was crying and shaking. Sam hugged him and said, "I told you not to shoot the farmer. He is not our enemy. He is our neighbor. We should be nice to him and respect his work." + +Tim learned his lesson. He said sorry to the farmer and to Sam. He never played with toy guns again. He realized that shooting is not a game. It is a harsh thing that can cause pain and trouble. He decided to play with other toys that were more fun and friendly. +Lily loves her uncle Tom. He is very sweet and funny. He always plays with her and gives her hugs. Sometimes he rubs her hair and tickles her ears. Lily likes that a lot. + +But one day, uncle Tom comes to visit with a big red spot on his nose. He says it hurts and he needs a band-aid. Lily wants to help him. She runs to the bathroom and gets a band-aid. She brings it to uncle Tom and tries to put it on his nose. + +But uncle Tom says no. He says the band-aid is too small and it will not stick. He says he needs a bigger one. Lily feels sad. She wants to make uncle Tom feel better. She thinks maybe if she rubs his nose, it will stop hurting. + +She reaches for his nose and rubs it gently. But uncle Tom says ouch. He says it hurts more when she rubs it. He says she should stop. He says he is sorry, but he does not like it. + +Lily feels bad. She does not understand why uncle Tom does not like her rubbing. She thinks he does not love her anymore. She starts to cry. She runs to her room and slams the door. + +Uncle Tom feels sorry too. He does not want to hurt Lily's feelings. He knows she was trying to help him. He follows her to her room and knocks on the door. He says he loves her very much. He says he is sorry he said ouch. He says he still likes her rubbing, but not on his nose. + +He asks her to open the door and give him a hug. He says he has a surprise for her. He says he has a big band-aid and a sweet candy for her. He says they can share them and be happy. + +Lily hears uncle Tom's voice. She wipes her tears and opens the door. She sees the big band-aid and the sweet candy. She smiles and hugs uncle Tom. She says she loves him too. She says she is sorry she rubbed his nose. She says she will rub his hair and tickle his ears instead. + +Uncle Tom laughs and says that sounds good. He puts the big band-aid on his nose and gives the sweet candy to Lily. They go to the living room and play together. They are happy again. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. They had many cars, trucks, and planes that they could zoom and crash. One day, they found a big toy robot in the garage. It had buttons, lights, and sounds. They wanted to make it work. + +They took the robot to their room and looked for batteries. They found some in a drawer, but they were too big. They needed smaller ones. They looked in the closet, but they only found screws and nails. They had an idea. Maybe they could use the screws to make the robot work. + +They took the screws and tried to fit them in the robot's back. They pushed and twisted, but the screws did not go in. They tried harder and harder, but the robot did not turn on. They got angry and frustrated. They started to snap the screws and break the robot. They made a big mess and noise. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw the broken robot, the snapped screws, and the angry boys. She was very mad and sad. She scolded them for ruining the robot and hurting themselves. She took away their toys and sent them to bed. They had to sleep without dinner. + +Tim and Sam felt sorry and sleepy. They wished they had not played with the robot. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had better batteries. They had a bad night. They had a bad ending. +Sara liked to travel with her mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. Sara liked to look at the big buildings, the green trees, and the blue water. + +One day, they went to a place where there were many jewels.

She did not know it was the queen's jewel. She cried. She gave back the pink jewel. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +The guard took the pink jewel. He looked at Sara and her mom and dad. He was not nice. He said, "You are in big trouble. You have to come with me. You have to see the queen." + +Sara and her mom and dad were very scared.

They did not see anyone who looked like the puppy's owner. + +"Maybe the puppy is lost," Tom said. + +"Maybe we should take the puppy home," Anna said. + +They decided to take the puppy home. They hoped their parents would let them keep the puppy. They loved the puppy and the puppy loved them. They kissed the puppy and the puppy kissed them back. They were happy. +Mia liked to imagine. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a fairy, a doctor, or anything she wanted. She had a big box of cloths in her room. She used them to make dresses, wings, hats, and blankets. + +One day, she found a light cloth in the box. It was white and shiny, like a star. She wondered what she could do with it.

The deer was light brown and had big ears. + +"Look, a deer!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +"OK, but be quiet and slow," Tom said. "We don't want to scare it." + +They walked towards the deer, holding hands. The deer looked at them with dark eyes. It did not run away. + +"Hello, deer," Lily said softly. "You are very pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The deer nodded its head. It came closer and sniffed their hands. It licked Lily's fingers. + +"Wow, it likes you!" Tom said.

The vase was colorful and shiny. It had flowers and birds on it. + +"Let's mark the vase!" Lily said. She had a marker in her hand. She liked to mark things with her marker. + +"No, Lily, we can't mark the vase!" Ben said. He knew that Mom would be angry if they marked the vase. The vase was Mom's favorite thing. She got it from Grandma. + +"But it will be more colorful!" Lily said. She did not listen to Ben. She climbed on the couch and reached for the vase. She wanted to mark a big smiley face on it. + +Ben tried to stop her, but it was too late. Lily touched the vase with her marker, but the vase was too heavy. It fell from the shelf and broke on the floor. There were many pieces and a loud noise. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken vase and the marker.

She is not here anymore, and the vase reminded me of her. Now it is gone." + +Lily and Ben felt very sad too. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you and Grandma. Can we help you clean the mess?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can help me clean the mess. And then we can look at some pictures of Grandma and remember her. She loved you very much. And so do I." +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. They are having fun. But then Anna sees a big dog. The dog is barking and running towards them.

The dog is near the bench. + +"Ben, please, help me. I need my phone. I need to call mom. The dog is too close. He might bite us." Anna says. + +Ben hears Anna. He sees that she is very scared. He loves his sister. He wants to help her. He decides to get her phone. He runs to the bench. He grabs her backpack. He opens it. He finds her phone. It is an ordinary phone. It is pink and has stickers on it. He takes it out. He runs back to Anna. + +"Here, Anna, here is your phone. You can call mom now. It is okay. The dog is not bad. He just wants to play." Ben says. + +Anna takes the phone. She hugs Ben. She says thank you. She turns on the phone. She dials mom's number. She waits for mom to answer. She hopes mom will come soon. She hopes the dog will go away. She is still scared. But she is also happy. She has her phone. She has her brother. She is not alone. +Tom and Lily were playing with their new toys in the living room. Tom had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll. They were happy and made noises like vroom and beep. + +Suddenly, they smelled something bad. They looked around and saw smoke coming from the kitchen. They were scared and ran to the door. But the door was locked and they could not open it. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "Mom! Dad! Smoke! Smoke!" + +Mom and Dad heard their shouts and ran to the living room. They saw the smoke and smelled the fire. They grabbed a key and opened the door. They hugged Tom and Lily and took them outside. + +"Are you OK? Are you hurt?" Mom asked. + +"No, we are OK. But we were scared," Tom said. + +"Me too," Lily said. + +Mom and Dad looked at the kitchen and saw that a pot had burned on the stove. They turned off the fire and opened the windows. They were glad that Tom and Lily were safe. + +"Sorry, Mom and Dad. We forgot to turn off the stove after we made soup," Mom said. + +"It's OK, Mom. We all make mistakes. But we have to be careful with fire and smoke," Dad said. + +"Yes, we do. And we have to listen to your shouts and help you," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They were happy that Mom and Dad were there. They hugged them and said, "We love you." + +"We love you too," Mom and Dad said. + +They went back to the living room and played with their new toys. They were careful not to make too much noise or mess. They were a happy family. +Lena and Max were playing with blocks. They liked to observe how high they could make a stack. They took turns to add one block at a time. They were careful not to make the stack fall. + +"Look, Max, our stack is so big!" Lena said. "It is taller than you!" + +Max smiled. He was proud of their stack. He wanted to make it taller. He reached for another block. But he did not see the cat. + +The cat was hiding under the table. It was bored. It saw the stack of blocks. It thought it was a toy. It jumped out and pounced on the stack. + +CRASH! The stack of blocks fell down. The blocks scattered everywhere. Lena and Max screamed. They were sad and angry. They looked at the cat. + +"Bad cat!" Lena shouted. "You ruined our stack!" + +The cat did not care. It was happy. It had fun. It ran away. + +Lena and Max cried. They had worked hard on their stack. They had been loyal to each other. They had shared and helped. But now their stack was gone. They felt like they had nothing. They did not want to play anymore. They hugged each other. They wished the cat had not come. They wished they still had their stack. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They were having fun, but then Max wanted to play with the doll too. + +"Give me the doll!" Max said. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +They both pulled the doll, but it was not strong. The doll's arm tore off and fell on the floor. + +"Uh-oh!" Lily and Max said. + +They looked at the doll's arm and saw something inside. It was a picture of the doll's bones. It was an x-ray. + +"Wow, look at this!" Max said. + +He picked up the x-ray and showed it to Lily. + +"What is it?" Lily asked. + +"It's the doll's bones. They are like our bones, but smaller." Max said. + +He put the x-ray on the window and looked at it with the light. + +"It's cool!" Lily said. + +She forgot about the doll and joined Max at the window. + +They saw the x-ray of the doll's arm, and then they saw something else. It was an enormous shadow on the wall. It was their dad, who came home from work. + +"Hi, kids!" Dad said. + +He saw the doll's arm on the floor and the x-ray on the window. + +"What happened here?" Dad asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other and smiled. + +"We were playing with the doll and the car, and then the doll tore, and then we found the x-ray, and then we saw you!" Lily said. + +Dad laughed and hugged them. + +"That sounds like an adventure!" Dad said. + +He fixed the doll's arm with some tape and gave it back to Lily. + +"Thank you, Dad!" Lily said. + +He took the x-ray and put it in a frame. + +"This is a special picture. We can keep it as a souvenir." Dad said. + +He hung the frame on the wall. + +"Thank you, Dad!" Max said. + +They all looked at the x-ray and the shadow and felt happy. They had a new story to tell. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to prepare a salad for dinner. She said they could have a reward if they did a good job. + +Lily and Ben washed the lettuce, tomatoes and carrots. They tore the lettuce into small pieces and put them in a big bowl. They cut the tomatoes and carrots into slices and added them to the bowl. They sprinkled some cheese and dressing on top. They were very proud of their salad. + +"Look, mom, we made a tasty salad!" they said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You did a great job, my darlings. Your reward is a slice of cake for dessert. But first, you have to set the table and wash your hands." + +Lily and Ben ran to the table and grabbed some plates and forks. They put them on the table and went to the sink to wash their hands. But then they saw the cake on the counter. It looked so yummy and sweet. They wanted to have a bite right away. + +"Let's have some cake now," Ben whispered to Lily. "Mom won't notice." + +"No, Ben, that's not fair," Lily whispered back. "We have to wait until after dinner. Mom said so." + +Ben didn't listen to Lily. He reached for the cake and tried to cut a slice with a knife. But the knife was too big and sharp for him. He slipped and cut his finger. He cried out loud. + +Mom heard Ben's cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw the blood on his finger and the cake on the counter. She was very angry and sad. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You hurt yourself and you ruined the cake. Why didn't you listen to me and Lily?" + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was greedy and naughty. I wanted to have the reward before I deserved it." + +Mom hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be patient and honest. And you have to say sorry to Lily too. She was a good sister and a good helper." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "Of course I forgive you, Ben. You're my brother and I love you. But next time, please listen to me and mom." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you both, my darlings. Now let's have some dinner and enjoy your salad. And don't worry, there's still some cake left for dessert. But only if you eat your salad first." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what. + +One day, they find a new toy in the garage. It is a wire with a battery and a light. They think it is cool. They both want to play with it. + +"Give me the wire!" Sara says. "No, it is mine!" Ben says. They pull the wire from each other. The wire breaks. The light goes off. They are sad. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to the garage. She sees the broken wire. She is angry. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks. "She did!" Ben says. "He did!" Sara says. They point at each other. + +Mom shakes her head. "You are both spoiled. You do not appreciate what you have. You do not respect other people's things. You need to learn a lesson." + +She takes the wire and the battery. She puts them in a box. She says, "You cannot play with this toy anymore. You need to watch how I fix it. Maybe you will learn something." + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They watch Mom fix the wire. They see how she connects the battery and the light. They see how the light goes on. They think it is cool. + +"Can we play with it now?" Sara asks. "Please?" Ben asks. + +Mom smiles. "Only if you promise to share and be careful. And say thank you." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We are sorry. We will share and be careful." + +Mom gives them the wire. They play with it together. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play by the sea. They liked to watch the boats and the birds and the waves. One day, they saw a big boat with a shiny anchor. They wondered what it was for. + +"Let's go and see the anchor!" Ben said. He ran towards the boat. + +"Wait for me!" Lily said. She followed him. + +They reached the boat and saw the anchor. It was very heavy and had a long chain. Ben wanted to touch it. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. "It might be dangerous." + +Ben did not listen. He reached out his hand and pulled the chain. The anchor moved a little bit. Ben pulled harder. The anchor moved more. Ben pulled even harder. The anchor fell off the boat and into the water. Ben fell with it. + +"Ben!" Lily screamed. She ran to the edge of the water. She saw Ben struggling to swim. He was scared and wet. + +"Help! Help!" Ben cried. + +Lily saw a man on the boat. He heard Ben's cry. He threw a rope to Ben. + +"Grab the rope, son!" the man said. "I'll pull you up." + +Ben grabbed the rope. The man pulled him up. He put him on the boat. He wrapped him in a blanket. + +"Are you okay, son?" the man asked. + +"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." Ben said. He was shivering and sorry. + +"Where is your sister?" the man asked. + +"Over there." Ben pointed to Lily. She was still by the water. She was crying and worried. + +The man waved to Lily. He told her to come to the boat. Lily ran to the boat. She hugged Ben. + +"I'm so glad you're safe, Ben." Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly and curious. I should have listened to you." Ben said. + +The man smiled. He was kind and modest. He did not scold Ben. He taught him a lesson. + +"Son, it's good to wonder and learn new things. But you have to be careful and respectful. The anchor is not a toy. It is a tool. It helps the boat stay in one place. If you play with it, you might hurt yourself or the boat. Do you understand?" the man said. + +"Yes, sir. I understand. I won't do it again." Ben said. + +"Good. Now, let's go back to the shore. Where are your parents?" the man said. + +"They are over there." Ben and Lily pointed to their parents. They were sitting on a bench. They did not see what happened. + +The man took Ben and Lily back to the shore. He told their parents what happened. Their parents were shocked and grateful. They thanked the man. They hugged Ben and Lily. + +"Ben, Lily, you are very lucky. The man saved you. You have to be more careful and obedient. The sea can be dangerous. You have to respect it and the people who work on it." their parents said. + +"Yes, mom. Yes, dad. We're sorry. We learned our lesson." Ben and Lily said. + +They went home. They never played with the anchor again. They still wondered about the sea, but they did it safely and wisely. They thanked the man in their hearts. They remembered his modesty and kindness. They tried to be like him. +Lily and Ben are eager to watch a movie on the big screen. They sit on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and wait for Mom to turn on the TV. Mom says she needs to find the remote first. + +"Can I help you, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, sweetie. Look under the pillows and the blankets," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben start to search for the remote. They lift and toss the pillows and the blankets, but they can't find it. They hear a loud snap. + +"Uh-oh," Ben says. + +They look at the couch and see a crack on the screen. They broke the TV with their searching. + +"Mom, we're sorry!" Lily says. + +Mom comes to the couch and sees the broken screen. She sighs and hugs Lily and Ben. + +"It's okay, my loves. Accidents happen. We can watch a movie on the laptop instead. But next time, be more careful, okay?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod and say sorry again. They cuddle with Mom on the couch and watch a movie on the laptop. They still enjoy the popcorn and the movie, even without the big screen. +Tim and Lily were two fish who lived in the big sea. They liked to swim and play with their friends, but they also wanted to see what was on the shore. They heard that there were many things to see and learn on the shore, like trees and birds and people. They wanted to be intelligent fish and know more about the world. + +One day, they decided to try to go to the shore. They swam very fast and very close to the water's edge. They saw the sand and the rocks and the shells. They also saw a big bird with a long beak and a loud cry. It was a seagull. The seagull saw them too and flew towards them. + +"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tim said. "Maybe it can tell us something about the shore." + +"Be careful, Tim, it might not be friendly," Lily said. "It looks hungry and angry." + +But Tim was too curious and did not listen to Lily. He jumped out of the water and said hello to the seagull. The seagull did not say hello back. It opened its beak and tried to catch Tim. Tim was scared and tried to go back to the water, but it was too late. The seagull grabbed him and flew away. + +Lily saw what happened and cried. She wished she had stopped Tim from going to the shore. She learned that the shore was not a safe place for fish. She swam back to the sea and told her friends what happened. They were sad and missed Tim. They also learned to be careful and not to try to go to the shore. They realized that being intelligent was not only about knowing more, but also about being wise and safe. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big circle on the grass. It is a hoop. They want to play with it. + +"Can I have it?" Tom asks. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. + +They both pull the hoop. They are angry. They do not share. + +A man sees them. He is a teacher. He works in the park. He teaches children to play with hoops. + +"Stop!" he says. "You are being wild. You need to order. You need to take turns." + +He shows them how to play with the hoop. He says, "One, two, three, go!" He throws the hoop in the air. It spins and falls. He says, "Now, you try." + +Tom and Mia try. They throw the hoop. They catch it. They laugh. They have fun. + +They say, "Thank you, teacher. You are nice. You teach us to play with hoops." + +They learn to order. They learn to share. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna was sick. She had a bad cough and a high fever. Her mom and dad were worried. They took her to the hospital. Anna did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy and strange. She was fearful. + +A nice lady in a white dress came to see Anna. She had a stethoscope and a thermometer. She smiled and said, "Hello, Anna. I'm Nurse Lisa. I'm here to help you feel better. Can I listen to your chest and take your temperature?" + +Anna nodded. She did not want to talk. She was afraid of what Nurse Lisa would do. Nurse Lisa put the stethoscope on Anna's chest and listened. She said, "You have a very strong heart, Anna. That's good. Now let me see how hot you are." She put the thermometer in Anna's mouth and waited. + +Anna felt something cold and hard in her mouth. She did not like it. She wanted to spit it out. But she remembered that Nurse Lisa was trying to help her. She tried to understand. She waited. + +Nurse Lisa took the thermometer out and looked at it. She said, "You have a very high fever, Anna. That's why you feel so sick. We need to give you some medicine to make it go down. It will taste bad, but it will help you. Can you be brave and take it?" + +Anna did not want to take the medicine. She knew it would taste bad. She was fearful. But she also wanted to feel better. She did not want to cough and hurt anymore. She looked at Nurse Lisa. She saw that Nurse Lisa was kind and caring. She tried to understand. She nodded. + +Nurse Lisa gave Anna a spoonful of medicine. Anna closed her eyes and swallowed it. It was bitter and yucky. She made a face. Nurse Lisa said, "Good girl, Anna. You did very well. I'm proud of you. The medicine will work soon. You will feel better. Do you want a hug?" + +Anna nodded. She wanted a hug. She was still fearful, but she felt a little better. She hugged Nurse Lisa. Nurse Lisa hugged her back. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. You will be okay. Your mom and dad are here. They love you. I love you. We are all here for you." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys, but they want something new. They ask their moms if they can go to the store. + +"Yes, you can go, but be careful," their moms say. "Take some money and spend it wisely." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They walk to the store and look at the things. They see a big, modern train. It has lights and sounds. It can go fast and slow. It is very cool. + +"Wow, look at this train!" Sara says. "Can we buy it?" + +Ben looks at the price tag. It is very expensive. He shakes his head. "No, we can't. It is too much money. We don't have enough." + +Sara is sad. She really likes the train. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. "Maybe we can share it," she says. "We can buy it together and take turns playing with it. What do you think?" + +Ben thinks too. He likes the idea. He smiles and nods. "Okay, let's do that. We can be good friends and share the train." + +Sara and Ben take their money and pay for the train. They are very happy. They thank the storekeeper and go back home. They show their moms their new toy. Their moms are proud of them. They hug them and say, "You are very smart and kind. You know how to spend your money and share with your friend. We love you." +Sara and Ben were playing with their colorful blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sara had a red block and Ben had a blue block. They wanted to trade, but they did not know how to ask. + +"Me want red!" Ben said, grabbing Sara's block. + +"No, mine!" Sara said, pulling back her block. + +They both pulled hard and the blocks broke. Sara and Ben started to cry. They hurt their fingers and saw blood. + +"Mama, mama!" they called. + +Mama came and saw what happened. She hugged Sara and Ben and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Let me see your fingers." + +She took them to the bathroom and washed their fingers. She put band-aids on them and said, "There, all better. But we need to go to the doctor, just to make sure." + +Sara and Ben were scared of the doctor. They did not want to go. + +"Mama, no doctor!" they said. + +Mama said, "Don't worry, the doctor is nice. He will help you and give you a sticker. And maybe we can get some ice cream after." + +Sara and Ben liked stickers and ice cream. They nodded and said, "Okay, mama." + +Mama took them to the car and drove to the doctor. The doctor was kind and gentle. He looked at their fingers and said, "You are very brave. You have a small cut, but it will heal soon. Just keep the band-aids on and don't touch it." + +He gave them each a colorful sticker and said, "You did a great job. You can go home now and play with your blocks. But be careful and share, okay?" + +Sara and Ben said, "Okay, doctor. Thank you." + +They smiled and hugged mama. They were happy and proud. They went home and ate ice cream. They played with their blocks and traded nicely. They learned to say, "Please" and "Thank you". They had a good day. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the house. One day, they find a door that leads to the attic. They are curious. They want to see what is in the attic. + +"Let's go up there," Sara urges Tom. "Maybe we can find some toys or books." + +Tom is not sure. He thinks the attic might be dark and scary. He does not want to go up there. He shakes his head. + +"No, Sara, I don't want to go. It might be dangerous. Mom and Dad told us not to go there." + +Sara does not listen. She opens the door and climbs the stairs. She tells Tom to follow her. Tom does not want to be alone. He follows Sara reluctantly. + +The attic is dark and dusty. There are many boxes and bags. Sara and Tom look around. They see some old clothes, some books, some pictures, and some toys. They are excited. They start to explore. + +"Look, Tom, a teddy bear!" Sara says. She picks up a brown teddy bear from a box. She hugs it. It is rough and dirty. She does not mind. She likes it. + +"Look, Sara, a train!" Tom says. He picks up a wooden train from a bag. He rolls it on the floor. It is rough and broken. He does not mind. He likes it. + +They play with the teddy bear and the train. They forget about the time. They forget about Mom and Dad. They are happy. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is Mom and Dad. They are angry. They have found the open door. They have come to the attic. They see Sara and Tom. + +"Sara! Tom! What are you doing here?" Mom shouts. "We told you not to come here. It is not safe. You could get hurt. You could break something. You are in big trouble." + +Sara and Tom are scared. They drop the teddy bear and the train. They run to Mom and Dad. They say they are sorry. They say they were curious. They say they wanted to play. + +Mom and Dad are still angry. They take Sara and Tom downstairs. They tell them to go to their room. They tell them they are grounded. They tell them they have to clean the attic tomorrow. + +Sara and Tom are sad. They wish they had listened. They wish they had not gone to the attic. They wish they had not played with the rough teddy bear and the rough train. They learn their lesson. +Lily likes to count. She counts her fingers, her toes, her toys, and her books. She counts everything she sees. She likes to make patterns with her counting. She says, "One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five." She repeats the pattern over and over. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a lot of different things. She sees birds, flowers, swings, slides, and kids. She wants to count them all. She starts with the birds. She says, "One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five." But then she sees more birds. She says, "Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten." She is happy. She made a new pattern. + +She moves on to the flowers. She says, "One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five." But then she sees different colors of flowers. She says, "Red, yellow, blue, pink, purple. Red, yellow, blue, pink, purple." She is excited. She made another new pattern. + +She runs to the swings. She says, "One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five." But then she sees different sizes of swings. She says, "Big, small, big, small, big. Big, small, big, small, big." She is amazed.

She is happy. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. But sometimes they get messy. They get dirt on their clothes, grass on their hair and mud on their shoes. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to climb it and see the view. They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. They see trees, flowers, birds and clouds. They are happy. + +But when they reach the top, they see a problem. The hill is very steep on the other side. They are scared. They try to go back, but they slip and fall. They roll down the hill very fast. They scream and cry. + +They stop at the bottom of the hill. They are not hurt, but they are very messy. They have dirt, grass, mud and leaves all over them. They look at each other and start to laugh. They think it is funny. + +They hear a voice. It is their mom. She is looking for them. She sees them and gasps. She is shocked. She says, "What happened to you? You are so messy! How did you get so messy?" + +Anna and Ben smile and say, "We climbed the hill and saw the view. But then we fell and rolled down. It was fun, but messy." + +Mom shakes her head and says, "You are very brave, but very silly. Come on, let's go home and get clean. You need a bath and a change of clothes." + +Anna and Ben nod and follow mom. They are still happy. They like the park, the hill, the view and the fall. But they also like the bath and the clean clothes. They are not messy anymore. +Sam and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. But Mom was busy. She had to work on her laptop. + +"Can we cook lunch, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"No, you are too little to cook. You can make a mess," Mom said. + +Sam and Mia were sad. They looked at the kitchen. They saw bread, cheese, ham, and butter. They saw a big knife and a toaster. + +"We can make sandwiches, Mia. We can use the knife and the toaster. We can cook lunch," Sam said. + +Mia nodded. She liked sandwiches. She followed Sam to the kitchen. They climbed on a chair. They took the bread, cheese, ham, and butter. They tried to cut the bread with the knife.

They wanted to help. They wanted to eat lunch. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to cook lunch. We were hungry," Sam said. + +Mom sighed. She hugged Sam and Mia. She was not angry and scared anymore. She was glad they were safe. + +"I know you were hungry. But you have to wait for me. You have to ask me before you use the knife and the toaster. You have to be careful. You have to keep the kitchen clean," Mom said. + +Sam and Mia nodded. They understood. They helped Mom clean the kitchen. They threw away the bread, cheese, ham, and butter. They picked up the knife and put it in the drawer. They wiped the table and the chair. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Sam and Mia. They were good helpers.

Tim says, "Let's shoot the hawk. It will be fun." Lily says, "No, Tim. The hawk is good. It does not hurt us. We should not hurt it." But Tim does not listen. He takes an arrow and aims at the hawk. + +He shoots the arrow and hits the hawk. The hawk falls to the ground. It makes a loud noise. It does not move. Tim and Lily run to the hawk. They see blood on its feathers. They see its eyes are closed. They feel sad and scared. + +A man comes to the park. He sees the hawk and the arrow. He sees Tim and Lily. He is angry. He says, "Who did this? Who killed the hawk? This is very bad. You are very bad. The hawk is a protected animal. You are in trouble." He takes the bow and the arrows. He takes Tim and Lily. He calls the police. Tim and Lily cry. They wish they did not shoot the hawk. They wish they listened to Lily. They wish they played something else. +Ben and Lily liked to play hide and seek in the bathroom. They would take turns hiding behind the shower curtain, under the sink, or in the closet. One day, Ben decided to hide in the closet and wait for Lily to find him. He saw a shiny thing on the shelf and wanted to touch it. It was a razor that Daddy used to shave his beard. Ben did not know what it was, but he thought it looked fun. + +Lily looked everywhere for Ben, but she could not find him. She called his name, but he did not answer.

That can hurt you!" + +Ben was surprised and dropped the razor. It fell on his hand and made a cut. He started to cry and bleed. Lily ran to get Mommy. Mommy came and saw what happened. She was very serious and angry. She took Ben to the sink and washed his wound. She put a band-aid on it and hugged him. She said, "Ben, you should never touch Daddy's razor. That is very dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly. You need to listen to Lily and me. We love you and want you to be safe." + +Ben felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know. It was shiny and I wanted to see it. I won't touch it again. I love you and Lily." + +Mommy said, "I know, Ben. I'm glad you're okay. But you need to be more careful and follow the rules. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. And no more hide and seek in the bathroom, okay?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Okay, Mommy." They hugged Mommy and went to the kitchen. They learned their lesson and never played with the razor again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She loved to stir the soup with a big spoon and watch the bubbles pop. One day, her mom gave her a special task. She said, "Lily, can you help me sew this button on your dad's shirt? You need to use this needle and thread. Be careful, the needle is sharp and can hurt you." + +Lily nodded and took the needle and thread from her mom. She tried to poke the needle through the shirt, but it was hard. She pushed and pushed, but the needle did not move. She felt a prick on her finger and saw a drop of red. She cried, "Ow, ow, ow! The needle bit me!" + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She saw the blood on Lily's finger and said, "Oh, no, Lily, are you okay? Let me see your finger." She took Lily's hand and wrapped a band-aid around it. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, the needle is very sharp. You have to be gentle and slow when you sew. Do you want to try again?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't like the needle. It is mean and hurts me. Can I stir the soup instead?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You are very good at stirring the soup. Come on, let's go back to the kitchen. Maybe we can find something furry and soft for you to play with later. How about your teddy bear?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please, mom. I love my teddy bear. He is furry and nice and does not bite me." She hugged her mom and followed her to the kitchen. She picked up the big spoon and stirred the soup. She felt happy and forgot about the needle. +Tim and Mia were friends who liked to perform. They had a uniform of red hats and blue shirts that they wore when they did their show. They could sing, dance, and tell jokes to make people happy. + +One day, they decided to perform at the park, where many people were playing and having fun. They found a big tree and put a sign that said "Tim and Mia's Show". They were very enthusiastic and hoped that many people would come and watch them. + +They started their show with a song. They sang loudly and smiled. Some people came and clapped for them. They felt proud and happy. They continued with a dance. They moved their arms and legs and spun around. Some more people came and cheered for them. They felt excited and confident. They finished with a joke. They told a funny story about a cat and a dog. Some people laughed and some people did not. They felt nervous and confused. + +Then, a big boy came and pushed them. He said "Your show is stupid and boring. Go away and leave us alone". He tore their sign and threw their hats and shirts on the ground. He laughed and ran away. Tim and Mia felt sad and scared. They cried and hugged each other. They did not want to perform anymore. They picked up their uniform and went home. They did not feel enthusiastic anymore. They felt angry and hurt. They wished they had never performed at the park. They wished they had stayed at home and played with their toys. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with cards. The cards have numbers on them. The one who has the biggest number wins. + +Tom and Mia each pick a card. Tom has a six. Mia has a four. Tom says, "I win! I have a bigger number than you!" + +Mia is sad. She does not like to lose. She says, "No, you don't win! You cheated! You looked at my card!" + +Tom says, "I did not cheat! You are a sore loser! You are mean!" + +Tom and Mia start to fight. They push and pull each other. They are angry and loud. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the cards and the trophy. The trophy is a prize for the winner. Mom says, "Stop fighting, both of you! What is going on?" + +Tom and Mia tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "You both played the game wrong. You are not supposed to compare your numbers. You are supposed to add them together. The one who has the highest sum wins. Six plus four is ten. You both have the same sum. You both win. You can share the trophy." + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They feel silly. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, friend. We did not know. We learned something new. We can share the trophy. We are still friends." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I'm glad you learned something new. And I'm glad you are still friends. You are different, but you are both special. Now, let's go and have some cookies." +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box. The box has a picture of a jungle on it. + +"Let's play jungle!" Lila says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They open the box and find many things inside. They find hats, binoculars, a map, and a toy monkey. + +They put on the hats and the binoculars. They look at the map. They hold the toy monkey. + +"Where is the jungle?" Tom asks. + +Lila points to the trees and the grass. "There is the jungle!" she says. + +They run to the trees and the grass. They pretend they are explorers. They look for animals and plants. + +They see a bird, a squirrel, a flower, and a bug. + +They hear a noise. They turn around. They see a fat cat. The cat is looking at the toy monkey. + +"Look, a lion!" Lila says. + +"Roar!" Tom says. + +They wave the toy monkey at the cat. The cat hisses and runs away. + +They laugh and hug the toy monkey. + +"We are brave explorers!" Lila says. + +"Yes, we are!" Tom says. + +They play jungle until it is time to go home. They put the things back in the box. They say goodbye to the park. + +They are happy. They had fun. They like to play jungle. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a swamp near their house. It was wet and muddy and full of strange plants and animals. + +"Look, Ben, a frog!" Lila said, pointing to a green creature that jumped into the water. + +"Ribbit, ribbit!" Ben said, trying to sound like the frog. He saw a big leaf floating on the water and stepped on it. But the leaf was not strong enough and Ben fell into the swamp. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lila asked, worried. She reached out her hand to help him. + +"I'm okay, Lila, but I'm all wet and dirty," Ben said, grabbing her hand. He climbed out of the swamp and shook his head. He saw something shiny on his hair. It was a flower. + +"Wow, Ben, you have a flower on your hair!" Lila said, smiling. She touched the flower gently. It was pink and white and smelled nice. + +"It must have bloomed on the leaf I stepped on," Ben said, feeling the flower. He smiled too. He gave the flower to Lila. + +"Here, Lila, this is for you. You are my best sister," Ben said, putting the flower on Lila's hair. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are my best brother," Lila said, hugging Ben. They looked at each other and laughed. + +They decided to go back home and show their flower to their mom and dad. They walked away from the swamp, holding hands. They were happy. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They have a cart with many toys. They like to fill the cart with sand and rocks and leaves. They pretend they are farmers or builders or explorers. + +One day, they see a big puddle near the slide. It is shiny and wet. They want to play with the water. They take their cart and go to the puddle. + +"Let's pour the water in the cart!" Lila says. She takes a cup and scoops some water. She pours it in the cart. It makes a splash. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He takes a bucket and fills it with water. He pours it in the cart. It makes a bigger splash. + +They laugh and clap. They pour more and more water in the cart. The cart becomes heavy and full. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is loud and angry. It is unknown to them. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my cart?" the voice says. They look up and see a man. He is big and dirty. He has a beard and a hat. He is holding a stick. + +They are scared. They drop their cup and bucket. They run away from the puddle. They leave the cart behind. + +The man walks to the cart. He sees the water and the toys. He shakes his head and grunts. He takes his stick and pushes the cart away. He goes to another place. + +Lila and Ben hide behind a tree. They hug each other. They are sad and sorry. They lost their cart and their toys. They wish they had not played with the unknown water. +Ben and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They also saw a jellyfish. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles. + +"Look, a jellyfish!" Ben said. "Can I touch it?" + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Lily said. "Jellyfish can sting you and hurt you. Mom and dad told us to stay away from them." + +"But it looks so pretty and soft," Ben said. He reached out his hand to touch the jellyfish. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back. "You have to listen to mom and dad. They know what is good for us." + +Just then, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw an enormous shark. It had big teeth and a fin and a tail. It was swimming towards them. + +"Help, a shark!" Ben and Lily screamed. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. Mom and dad saw the shark and quickly gathered their things. They told Ben and Lily to follow them to the car. + +They got in the car and locked the doors. They drove away from the beach. They were safe. + +"Are you okay, Ben and Lily?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay," Ben and Lily said. + +"That was a scary shark," Dad said. "We are lucky it didn't catch us." + +"Thank you, Lily, for saving me from the jellyfish," Ben said. "You were right. I should have listened to mom and dad. They love us and want to protect us." + +"You're welcome, Ben," Lily said. "I love you, too. And I'm sorry for the shark. It was not your fault." + +They hugged each other and smiled. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect the animals in the sea and to obey their parents. They also learned to be brave and kind to each other. They were happy. +Lily likes to swim in the pool. She has a thin pink suit and a big hat. She can swim fast and splash water. She has fun with her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily sees a ball in the pool. It is red and shiny. She wants to play with it. She runs to the pool and reaches for the ball. But she is too fast and she falls in the water. + +Lily is scared. She cannot swim with the ball. She cannot see her mom and dad. She feels cold and wet. She cries for help. + +Mom and dad hear Lily cry. They run to the pool and jump in the water. They find Lily and hold her tight. They bring her out of the pool and wrap her in a towel. + +Lily is safe and warm. She hugs her mom and dad and says sorry. They hug her back and say it is okay. They tell her to be careful and not run near the pool. They give her a kiss and a cookie. Lily smiles and says thank you. She learns a lesson and still likes to swim. +Mia and Leo liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys and a small tent. One day, they found a shiny thing in the dirt. It was a crystal. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, look at this!" Mia said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Leo asked. He reached for the crystal, but Mia pulled it away. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia said. "I found it first!" + +Leo was sad. He wanted to play with the crystal too. He had a plan. He waited until Mia was busy with her doll. Then he ran to the tent and grabbed the crystal. + +"Hey, give it back!" Mia shouted. She followed Leo to the tent. They both tried to hold the crystal, but it slipped from their hands and rolled away. + +They chased the crystal, but it was too fast. It bounced on the grass and the stones. It went under the fence and into the street. + +"Oh no!" Mia and Leo said. They stopped at the fence. They could not go to the street. It was dangerous. + +They saw a big truck coming. The truck was loud and dirty. It had big wheels and a long trailer. The crystal was in the middle of the road. + +"Look out!" Mia and Leo yelled. They hoped the truck would not hit the crystal. They were scared. + +But the truck did not hit the crystal. It drove over it. The crystal was so hard and strong that it did not break. It kept rolling on the other side of the street. + +Mia and Leo were happy. They saw the crystal go into a park. They ran to the gate and asked their mom if they could go inside. + +"Please, mom, can we go to the park?" Mia and Leo said. "We want to get our crystal back!" + +Their mom looked at them. She saw their dirty clothes and their eager faces. She smiled. + +"Okay, but be careful," she said. "And share your crystal. It is too nice to keep for yourself." + +Mia and Leo nodded. They thanked their mom and ran to the park. They were persistent. They wanted to find their crystal. They knew it was special. They decided to play with it together. They were happy. +Lily was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, without asking for help. She also liked to eat butter on her bread, because it was soft and yummy. + +One day, she saw a big jar of butter in the kitchen. She wanted to have some, but her mom was busy in the living room. Lily decided to steal some butter and sneak to her room. She took a spoon and scooped some butter from the jar. She put it in her pocket and ran to her room. + +She closed the door and took out the butter. She was about to spread it on a slice of bread, when she heard a knock on the door. + +"Lily, can I come in?" It was her mom. + +Lily quickly hid the butter under her pillow and said, "No, mom, I'm busy." + +"What are you doing, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"I'm... I'm reading a book," Lily lied. + +"Can I see it?" her mom asked. + +Lily felt scared. She knew she did something wrong. She didn't want her mom to find out. She said, "No, mom, it's a secret book." + +Her mom was curious. She opened the door and walked in. She saw the bread on the table and the spoon on the floor. She smelled the butter. She lifted the pillow and saw the butter. + +"Lily, did you steal this butter from the kitchen?" her mom asked, looking angry. + +Lily felt ashamed. She nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I'm sorry." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, stealing is bad. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask me first. And butter is not good for you if you eat too much. It can make you sick." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I just wanted to have some butter by myself. I like to be independent." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Lily. I'm proud of you for being independent. But you also need to be honest and respectful. And you need to share with others. How about we go to the kitchen and make some toast with butter for both of us?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mom said. They went to the kitchen and enjoyed their toast with butter. Lily learned her lesson and never stole butter again. +Sam was eager to play with the computer. He liked to watch the pictures and hear the sounds on the screen. He wanted to learn how to make the computer do what he wanted. + +But his big sister, Mia, was using the computer. She was doing her homework. She said Sam had to wait until she was done. Sam did not like to wait. He was bored and angry. + +He thought of a plan. He would sneak into the room when Mia was not looking. He would take the computer and run away. He would hide in his closet and play with it. He would have fun and Mia would be sad. + +He waited for Mia to go to the bathroom. Then he ran into the room and grabbed the computer. He did not know how to unplug it. He pulled hard on the cord. He heard a loud pop and saw a spark. The computer went dark and silent. Sam was scared. + +He dropped the computer and ran to his closet. He hoped Mia would not find out. But she did. She came back and saw the broken computer. She was very angry and sad. She yelled at Sam and told him he was a bad boy. She told their mom what he did. + +Mom was very angry and sad too. She said Sam had to pay for the computer. He had to give up his toys and his allowance. He had to say sorry to Mia. He had to go to his room and stay there. He could not play with the computer or anything else. + +Sam cried and cried. He wished he had not taken the computer. He wished he had waited for his turn. He wished he had been a good boy. He was not eager to play with the computer anymore. He was only eager to make Mia and mom happy again. But he did not know how. He felt very bad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has a loud bark. Tom and Mia are scared of the dog. + +"Let's run away!" Mia says. + +"No, wait!" Tom says. "I have an idea. I have a whistle in my pocket. I can blow it and make a noise. Maybe the dog will go away." + +Tom takes out his whistle and blows it hard. The whistle makes a high sound. The dog hears the whistle and stops barking. It looks at Tom and Mia with its ears up. + +"Good job, Tom!" Mia says. "You scared the dog!" + +But the dog is not scared. It is curious. It walks towards Tom and Mia. It wants to sniff them and play with them. Tom and Mia do not know that. They think the dog is angry. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. They drop the whistle and run away. The dog picks up the whistle and chases them. It thinks it is a game. + +Tom and Mia run to the slide. They climb up and slide down. The dog follows them. It jumps on the slide and slides down too. Tom and Mia are surprised. They see the dog's tail wagging. They see the dog's tongue out. They see the dog's eyes shining. + +"Maybe the dog is not bad," Tom says. + +"Maybe the dog is friendly," Mia says. + +They decide to give the dog a chance. They reach out their hands and pet the dog. The dog licks their faces and wags its tail more. Tom and Mia laugh. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. + +They play with the dog for a while. They throw the whistle and the dog fetches it. They hug the dog and the dog cuddles them. They have fun. + +But it is getting late. The sun is going down. The air is getting cold. Tom and Mia feel cold. + +"We have to go home," Tom says. + +"Me too," Mia says. + +They say goodbye to the dog. They hope to see it again. They walk home with their parents. They are warm and cozy. They are glad they made a new friend. They are not scared of the dog anymore. They are brave. +Lila liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She watched how her mom put water and rice in a big pot. Then her mom put the pot on the fire and said, "We will have rice for dinner, Lila. Do you like rice?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I like rice. Can I help you more?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "You are a very good and modest helper, Lila. You can help me by putting some salt and pepper in this small pot. Then we will make a sauce for the rice." + +Lila was happy to help. She took the small pot and put some salt and pepper in it. She was careful not to put too much or too little. She wanted to make the sauce tasty. She gave the small pot to her mom and said, "Here, mom. I put salt and pepper in the pot. Is it good?" + +Her mom tasted the sauce and said, "It is very good, Lila. You did a great job. Thank you for helping me. Now we can eat our rice with sauce. It will be delicious." + +Lila and her mom sat down at the table and enjoyed their dinner. Lila felt proud and happy. She liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to put things in pots. She liked to be a modest helper. +On Wednesday, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the seesaw and the slide. The slide was big and shiny and had a ladder to climb up. + +Lily went first and slid down fast. She laughed and said, "That was fun! I want to go again!" She ran back to the ladder. + +Ben waited for his turn. He was a little scared of the slide, but he wanted to try it. He climbed up the ladder slowly and sat on the top. + +But then he saw a big boy coming. The big boy was mean and harsh. He pushed Ben off the slide and said, "Get out of my way! This is my slide!" + +Ben fell down and hurt his knee. He cried and said, "Ow! That was not nice! You are a bully!" + +Lily heard Ben cry and ran to him. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Ben? That big boy was very bad. He should not push you." + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Ben's knee bleeding and the big boy on the slide. She was angry and said, "Hey, you! Why did you push my son? That was very rude and dangerous. You need to apologize and share the slide." + +The big boy looked at mom and felt scared. He knew he did something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, I was just having fun. I didn't mean to hurt him." + +Mom said, "Well, fun is not fun when you hurt others. You need to be kind and gentle. And you need to take turns on the slide. Do you understand?" + +The big boy nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry, Ben. Can I play with you?" + +Ben looked at the big boy and said, "Okay, but you have to be nice. And you have to wait for your turn." + +Lily said, "Yes, and you have to say please and thank you." + +The big boy said, "Okay, okay. Please, can I go on the slide?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But after us." + +They all went on the slide and had fun. They learned to be friends and to share. Mom was happy and proud of them. She said, "That's the way to play. Good job, kids!" +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were dinosaurs. Lily was a big, green T-rex and Max was a small, red raptor. They roared and chased each other around the trees and swings. + +"Look, Lily, a bird!" Max said, pointing to the sky. He saw a big, white bird with long wings and a yellow beak. "Do you think it is tasty?" + +Lily looked up and saw the bird too. She licked her lips and nodded. "Yes, Max, it looks tasty. Let's catch it!" + +They ran after the bird, but it was too fast and too high. They jumped and snapped, but they could not reach it. The bird saw them and laughed. It flew over their heads and waved its wings. + +"Ha ha, silly dinosaurs!" the bird said. "You can't catch me! I am not your food!" + +Lily and Max felt sad and angry. They did not like the bird. They wanted to eat it. They stopped running and looked at each other. + +"Let's wave back, Lily," Max said. "Maybe the bird will come down." + +"OK, Max," Lily said. "Let's wave back." + +They lifted their arms and waved at the bird. They smiled and made friendly noises. They hoped the bird would think they were nice and come closer. + +The bird saw them waving and felt curious. It wondered why they were being so nice. It flew down a little bit and waved back. + +"Hello, dinosaurs," the bird said. "Why are you waving at me?" + +Lily and Max grinned and opened their mouths. They were ready to catch the bird. + +"Hello, bird," they said. "We are waving because we want to be your friends. And we want to share something tasty with you." + +The bird did not know what they meant. It flew closer to see what they had. It did not see anything tasty. It only saw their big teeth. + +"Oh no!" the bird said. "You tricked me! You don't want to be my friends. You want to eat me!" + +The bird turned around and flew away as fast as it could. It did not wave back. It did not laugh. It was scared. + +Lily and Max missed the bird. They were disappointed. They did not catch anything tasty. They looked at each other and shrugged. + +"Maybe next time, Lily," Max said. + +"Maybe next time, Max," Lily said. + +They went back to playing dinosaurs. They roared and chased each other around the park. They had fun. They forgot about the bird. +Ben and Lily were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked out the window and saw big drops of water falling from the sky. They heard thunder and saw lightning. + +"Let's play a game," Lily said. "We can pretend we are in a jungle and the rain is a waterfall." + +"OK," Ben said. "But we need some animals and plants." + +They ran to their room and got some toys. They found a lion, a monkey, a snake, a bird, and a flower. They brought them to the living room and put them on the floor. They used a blanket to make a cave. + +"Now we are in the jungle," Lily said. "I am a lion and you are a monkey. We have to hide from the snake and the bird. They are mean." + +"Roar!" Ben said. "I am a monkey and I can swing from the vines. I can find yummy bananas and share them with you." + +They played for a long time, making noises and having fun. They forgot about the rain and the thunder and the lightning. + +"Ben, Lily, lunch is ready!" their mom called from the kitchen. "Come and eat, I made your favorite soup and sandwiches." + +They ran to the kitchen and saw the food on the table. It smelled good and looked yummy. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said. "We are hungry from playing in the jungle." + +They ate their soup and sandwiches and told their mom about their game. She smiled and listened. + +"Maybe after lunch, the rain will stop and you can play outside," she said. + +"Or maybe we can play another game," Lily said. + +"Or maybe both," Ben said. + +They finished their lunch and hugged their mom. They were happy. +Lily was a dog who liked to wear a collar. She had many collars of different colors and shapes. She liked to show them to her friends at the park. One day, she found a new collar in the trash. It was shiny and had a bell on it. Lily thought it was very pretty and put it on. + +"Look at my new collar!" she barked to her friends. "It is shiny and makes a sound!" + +Her friends came closer to see her collar. But they did not like it. They smelled something bad. + +"Yuck!" said Spot, the black and white dog. "Your collar is smelly! It smells like rotten fish!" + +"Ugh!" said Fido, the brown dog. "Your collar is dirty! It has mud and bugs on it!" + +"Ew!" said Fluffy, the white dog. "Your collar is old! It has holes and rust on it!" + +Lily felt sad and ashamed. She did not know her collar was smelly, dirty and old. She thought it was pretty and fun. She wanted her friends to like it too. + +She ran away from the park, feeling lonely and hurt. She wanted to take off her collar, but it was stuck on her neck. She tried to pull it, but it only made the bell ring louder. She tried to bite it, but it only made her mouth taste bad. She tried to scratch it, but it only made her fur fall off. + +She wished she never found that collar. She wished she wore one of her old collars. She wished she listened to her mom, who always told her not to take things from the trash. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that not everything that shines is gold. She learned that sometimes, the best things are the ones you already have. +John and his mommy went to the park. It was peaceful and beautiful. They walked through the park and saw many things. They also saw some animals and heard the birds chirping. + +John felt excited and wanted to play. He ran around with his hands in the air. His mommy laughed and followed. + +Then John started to stumble and fell on the ground. His mommy ran over to help him up. Everyone in the park started laughing and it made John feel embarrassed. + +John's mommy hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear. "It's okay, John. There's no need to be embarrassed. Everyone falls sometimes." John smiled and hugged his mommy back. + +They continued exploring the park together and had a lot of fun. John learned that it's okay to be embarrassed sometimes. He smiled the whole way home. +One day, Kimmy invited her friend Maria over to play. Maria brought a rubber with her and the two friends had a lot of fun bouncing it around. Maria always had a good time when she visited Kimmy. + +But today, Kimmy was feeling a bit grumpy. She didn't want to play with the rubber or any of her other toys. Kimmy just wanted to sit and pout. Maria felt bad for her and tried to give her a big hug. + +Kimmy was still sad so Maria tried something else. She went to Kimmy's room and found a pile of stuffed animals. Maria put on a show with the animals to make Kimmy laugh. It worked!

The two hugged and Maria waved goodbye as she headed home with her rubber. +Once there was a naughty pilot. His name was Peter. Peter always wanted to try on new clothes. He wanted to wear fancy outfits. One day, Peter decided he wanted to wear his pilot uniform. He was so excited! He put it on and it fit perfectly. + +But when Peter went to work, he was in for a surprise. His boss said that he had been naughty and wasn't allowed to wear the pilot uniform. Peter was very sad.

But one day it fell into a mud puddle and was all dirty. Then the golf's friend, a nice lady, came over to help. She said, “Let's wash your golf!†+ +The lady filled a big bucket with water and put some special soap in it. Then they carefully placed the golf in the bucket.

When it was done, the golf was shiny and clean again! + +The lady was very happy and said, “Now your golf looks like new!†They dried off the golf with a big, fluffy towel and put it back in the grass. Now the purple golf shined in the sunshine. +One day, James was feeling bored and decided to decorate his room. He looked around to find the perfect things to make it cheerful.

She hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, kids. I will help you. We can decorate the big tree together. It will be fun and safe." + +Anna and Ben were happy. They thanked Mom. They took the shiny things and followed Mom. Mom climbed the ladder and held their hands. They hung the red balls, the yellow stars, and the green ribbons on the big tree. The big tree looked beautiful. Anna and Ben were proud. They had decorated the big tree for the special day. +Sara loves to play with her dog, Max. Max is a big, playful lab who likes to run, jump and fetch. Sara and Max go to the park every day and have fun together. + +One day, Sara sees a big sign at the park. It says "Lab Day". Sara is curious and asks her mom what it means. + +"It means that today, there are many labs like Max who come to the park to play and learn. They have a special place where they can do fun activities and meet new friends. Do you want to go and see?" her mom says. + +Sara nods and holds Max's leash. They walk to the special place and see many labs of different colors and sizes. Some are playing with balls, some are running through tunnels, some are jumping over hurdles. Sara and Max join them and have a blast. + +Sara tries to teach Max how to do a trick. She holds a treat in her hand and says "Sit, Max, sit!" Max looks at her and wags his tail, but he does not sit. He jumps up and tries to get the treat. Sara laughs and says "No, Max, no! You have to sit first, then you get the treat!" + +She tries again and again, but Max does not manage to sit. He is too playful and excited. Sara does not get mad. She hugs Max and says "It's okay, Max. You are a good boy. You don't have to do tricks to make me happy. I love you just the way you are!" + +Max licks her face and wags his tail. He loves Sara too. They are best friends. +Ben and Mia were playing hide and seek in the park. Ben was the seeker and Mia was the hider. Mia ran behind a big tree and waited for Ben to find her. She was very quiet and still. + +Ben looked around the park and tried to see where Mia was. He saw a light blue dress behind a big tree. He smiled and ran towards it. He thought he had found Mia. + +But when he got to the tree, he saw that it was not Mia. It was a doll that someone had left there. Ben was confused and sad. He wanted to find Mia. He called out, "Mia, where are you?" + +Mia heard Ben's voice and peeked out from behind another tree. She saw Ben holding the doll and looking sad. She felt sorry for him. She decided to come out and surprise him. She ran to him and tapped him on the shoulder. + +Ben turned around and saw Mia. He was very happy and surprised. He dropped the doll and hugged Mia. He said, "Mia, you are very good at hiding. You disappeared like magic. I'm glad I found you." + +Mia hugged Ben back and said, "You are very good at seeking. You almost found me. I'm glad you are my friend." + +They smiled and laughed and decided to play another game. They left the doll behind the tree and hoped that someone would find it and love it. They had a lot of fun in the park. +Mia loves to look at magazines with her mom. She likes to see the pictures of animals, flowers, and dresses. Sometimes she tries to read the words, but they are too hard. Mom helps her and tells her what they mean. + +One day, Mia finds a magazine on the floor. It has a big hole in it. She picks it up and sees that her dog, Spot, has bitten it. She sees a picture of an adorable kitten with a bow on its head. The hole is right on the kitten's face. + +"Oh no!" Mia says. "Spot, you are a bad dog! You ruined the magazine! Mom will be mad at you!" + +She runs to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. She shows her the magazine and tells her what happened. + +Mom looks at the magazine and smiles. She is not mad. She hugs Mia and says, "Don't worry, sweetie. It's just a magazine. It's not important. Spot didn't know any better. He was just curious. He is still a good dog. And you are a good girl for telling me." + +Mia feels better. She hugs Mom and says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love Spot, too. But he should not bite magazines." + +Mom laughs and says, "You're right. He should not. Maybe we can find him a toy to chew on instead. And maybe we can find another magazine with a kitten for you." + +Mia nods and smiles. She is happy. She loves her mom, her dog, and her magazines. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for things in the dirt. Sometimes they found worms, stones, or old coins. But today they found something different. + +"Look, Lily, what is this?" Tom said, holding up a white thing with holes. + +Lily came closer and examined it. It was hard and smooth, and it had two big holes for eyes and one small hole for a nose. It looked like a head, but without skin or hair. + +"It's a skull, Tom. A skull is what is inside your head, under your skin and hair. It is what keeps your brain safe," Lily said. She had learned about skulls from a book. + +"Wow, a skull. Where did it come from? Whose skull is it?" Tom asked, feeling curious and a little scared. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it was an animal, or maybe it was a person. Maybe it was here a long time ago, before we were born. Maybe it was cold and hungry and died here," Lily said, feeling sad and a little cold. + +"Let's bury it again, Lily. Maybe it will be happier in the dirt. Maybe it will have friends there, like the worms and the stones and the old coins," Tom said, feeling kind and a little brave. + +"OK, Tom. Let's bury it again. And let's say goodbye and thank you to the skull, for letting us see it and learn from it," Lily said, feeling respectful and a little wise. + +They dug a hole and put the skull back in. They covered it with dirt and patted it gently. They said goodbye and thank you to the skull, and then they went back to their house, holding hands. They had a lot to tell their mom and dad. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play games and have fun. But they are also competitive. They want to win and be the best. + +One day, they see a calendar on the wall. It has pictures of animals and numbers. Lily and Ben like animals and numbers. They want to learn more. + +"Let's play a game," Lily says. "We can look at the calendar and say the names of the animals and the numbers. Whoever says more wins." + +"OK," Ben says. "I will go first. I see a lion and a one. I see a monkey and a two. I see a bear and a three." + +Lily looks at the calendar. She sees more animals and numbers. She wants to say them all. But she also wants to be fair. + +"Good job, Ben," Lily says. "You said three animals and three numbers. Now it's my turn. I see a zebra and a four. I see a bird and a five. I see a snake and a six." + +Ben looks at the calendar. He sees more animals and numbers. He wants to say them all. But he also wants to be fair. + +"Good job, Lily," Ben says. "You said three animals and three numbers. We are both good at this game. We are both winners." + +Lily and Ben smile. They hug each other. They are happy. They are competitive, but they are also kind. They love to play games and have fun. They love each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a bow and some arrows. They pretend to be heroes and fight bad guys. + +One day, they see a big tree. They think it is a castle. They want to act like they are kings. They take turns to shoot arrows at the tree. They say, "I am the king of the castle! You are the robber! Go away!" + +But then, a bird flies out of the tree. It is angry. It thinks they are hurting its home. It squawks and pecks at them. It tries to take their arrows. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run away from the bird. They drop their bow and arrows. They say, "Sorry, bird! We did not mean to make you mad! We were just playing!" + +The bird calms down. It picks up the arrows and puts them back in the tree. It thinks they are its babies. It says, "It is okay. You are not bad. You are just silly. But do not play with my arrows again. They are mine!" + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Okay, bird. We will not play with your arrows again. We will find something else to play with. You are a great bird. You are very brave and smart." + +They go back to the park. They look for a new game. They are still friends. They are still heroes. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. Lily had a new hat. It was pink and had a flower on it. She was very proud of her hat. + +"Look at my hat, Ben!" Lily said. "Do you like it?" + +Ben nodded. He liked Lily's hat. It was pretty and bright. He wanted to try it on. He asked Lily, "Can I wear your hat, please?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to share, but she also liked her hat. She was anxious. What if Ben lost her hat or got it dirty? She said, "OK, but only for a little bit. And be careful with it." + +Ben smiled. He took Lily's hat and put it on his head. It was too big for him. It covered his eyes and ears. He laughed. He felt silly. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Your hat is fun." + +Lily laughed too. She saw Ben's face under the hat. He looked funny. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. But don't forget to give it back." + +They played some more with the hat. They pretended to be different animals and made noises. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It looked angry. It wanted to play too. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the dog. They forgot about the hat. The hat fell off Ben's head and landed on the ground. The dog saw the hat. It thought it was a toy. It grabbed the hat with its mouth and ran away with it. + +Lily and Ben stopped running. They saw the dog with the hat. They were sad. They liked the hat. They wanted it back. They said, "Oh no! The dog took the hat!" + +They tried to chase the dog, but it was too fast. It disappeared behind some trees. They could not find it. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were sorry. They said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Ben." + +They walked back to the park. They hoped to see the hat again. They hoped the dog was nice to it. They hoped to find another hat like it. They hoped to play again. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block, and another, and another. They were very careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is very high. It is almost as high as the window!" Lily said. + +They were very proud of their tower. They wanted to show it to their mom. They ran to the kitchen, where their mom was preparing lunch. + +"Mom, mom, come and see our tower!" they shouted. + +"Okay, okay, I'm coming," their mom said. She followed them to the living room, where their tower was standing. + +"Wow, what a wonderful tower you made!" their mom said. "It is very tall and very cute. You are very smart and creative." + +"Thank you, mom," Lily and Tom said. They hugged their mom and smiled. + +"Can we keep our tower, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can keep your tower, but you have to move it to your room after lunch, okay?" their mom said. + +"Okay, mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They were very happy. They had made a big tower and their mom liked it. They could not wait to play with it again. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. Lila can throw the ball very far. Tom can catch the ball very well. They have fun together. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Lila and Tom playing catch. He wants to play too. He says, "Give me the ball. I can throw it better than you. I have big muscles. I am tough." + +Lila and Tom do not like the big boy. He is rude and mean. They say, "No, you cannot play with us. You are not nice. Go away." + +The big boy gets angry. He tries to take the ball from Lila. Lila holds the ball tight. She says, "Let go of the ball. It is ours. You cannot have it." + +The big boy pulls harder. Lila pulls harder too. They tug and tug. The ball flies out of their hands. It lands on a tree. They cannot reach it. + +Lila and Tom are sad. They lost their ball. The big boy is mad. He lost his chance. He stomps away. + +Lila and Tom hug each other. They say, "We are still friends. We do not need a ball. We have each other." They smile and go home. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. They were very happy and excited. + +But when they got to the zoo, they saw a big sign. It said: "Zoo closed. Sorry." Anna and Ben were very sad and angry. They wanted to see the animals, not a sign. + +"Why is the zoo closed, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Because there is a terrible sickness. The animals are not well. They need to rest and get better." Mom said. + +"Can we come back another day?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe. But we don't know when. The zoo people have to carry the animals to the doctor and give them medicine." Dad said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for the animals. They hoped they would get well soon. They decided to do something nice for them. + +"Can we draw some pictures for the animals, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"That's a good idea, Anna. We can draw some pictures and write some letters. Maybe we can send them to the zoo later." Mom said. + +"OK. Let's go home and get some paper and crayons." Ben said. + +They went back to the car and drove home. They were still sad, but they also felt hopeful. They wanted to make the animals happy. They wanted to see them again. They loved the zoo. +Lily loves her puppy, Spot. Spot is black and white and has a big wet nose. Lily likes to play with Spot in the yard. They run and jump and roll in the grass. + +One day, Lily sees a fancy car stop in front of her house. A lady gets out of the car. She has a big hat and a shiny dress. She has a small dog in her arms. The dog is pink and fluffy and has a bow on its head. + +"Hello, little girl," the lady says. "What a cute puppy you have. Do you want to join me and my dog for a tea party?" + +Lily looks at the lady and her dog. She thinks they are very strange. She does not like tea or pink or bows. She likes water and black and white and bones. + +"No, thank you," Lily says. "I like to play with Spot. He is my best friend." + +The lady looks surprised. She shrugs and gets back in her car. She drives away with her dog. + +Lily and Spot are happy. They do not need a fancy car or a fancy dog. They have each other and they have fun. They run and jump and roll in the grass some more. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy soldiers and horses. They liked to make up stories about war and battles. They had a big box of toys to choose from. + +"Pass me the red horse, please," Lily said to Tom. "He is the leader of my army. He is very brave and fast." + +"Here you go," Tom said, passing her the red horse. "But my blue horse is stronger and smarter. He can win any war. He is the leader of my army." + +They put their horses on opposite sides of the rug. They arranged their soldiers and other toys around them. They pretended to make noises of war and fighting. + +"Charge!" Tom shouted, moving his blue horse towards Lily's red horse. "You can't stop me!" + +"Stop!" Lily shouted, moving her red horse to block Tom's blue horse. "You can't beat me!" + +They pushed their horses against each other, trying to make them fall. They knocked over some of their soldiers and other toys. They laughed and yelled. + +But then, they heard a loud noise from outside. It was their mom, calling them for dinner. + +"Time to eat, kids!" Mom said. "Put away your toys and come to the table." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to stop playing. They wanted to finish their war. + +"Can we play more later?" Tom asked Mom. + +"Maybe, if you eat your dinner and behave well," Mom said. "But now, you have to come. It's getting dark and cold." + +Tom and Lily sighed. They picked up their toys and put them back in the box. They carried the box to their room. They hugged their horses and said goodbye to them. + +"See you later, red horse," Lily said. "You are very soft and nice. I love you." + +"See you later, blue horse," Tom said. "You are very soft and cool. I love you." + +They put their horses on their beds. They ran to the kitchen to join Mom for dinner. They hoped they could play more war tomorrow. +Lisa loves yogurt. She eats it every morning with her spoon. She likes the white yogurt with the red berries. It is sweet and wet. + +One day, Lisa goes to the fridge to get her yogurt. But there is no yogurt in the fridge. Lisa is sad. She asks her mom, "Mom, where is my yogurt?" + +Mom says, "I'm sorry, Lisa. We ran out of yogurt. We have to go to the store and buy more. Do you want to eat something else for breakfast?" + +Lisa thinks. She does not want to eat bread. It is dry and boring. She does not want to eat cereal. It is crunchy and hard. She only wants to eat yogurt. + +She says, "No, Mom. I want yogurt. Can we go to the store now?" + +Mom says, "Okay, Lisa. We can go to the store. But first, you have to get dressed and brush your teeth. Can you do that?" + +Lisa nods. She runs to her room and puts on her clothes. She brushes her teeth with her toothbrush. She is ready to go to the store. + +She says, "Mom, I'm ready. Let's go get yogurt." + +Mom says, "Good job, Lisa. You are very fast. Let's go get yogurt. Maybe we can find a new flavor to try. How about that?" + +Lisa smiles. She likes to try new things. She says, "Yes, Mom. Let's go get yogurt. Maybe we can find a yellow yogurt or a green yogurt. That would be fun." + +Mom and Lisa go to the store. They find many kinds of yogurt. Lisa sees a yellow yogurt with bananas. She sees a green yogurt with kiwis. She sees a pink yogurt with strawberries. She wants to try them all. + +She says, "Mom, can we buy all these yogurts?" + +Mom says, "No, Lisa. We can't buy all these yogurts. We have to choose one. Which one do you want to try?" + +Lisa thinks. She likes bananas. She likes kiwis. She likes strawberries. She does not know which one to choose. + +She says, "Mom, can we buy two yogurts? One for today and one for tomorrow?" + +Mom says, "Okay, Lisa. We can buy two yogurts. But you have to eat them before they go bad. Which two do you want to buy?" + +Lisa picks the yellow yogurt with bananas and the green yogurt with kiwis. She puts them in the cart. She is happy. She says, "Thank you, Mom. These yogurts look yummy. I can't wait to eat them." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Lisa. I'm glad you found some new yogurts to try. Maybe you will like them more than the white yogurt with the red berries. Maybe you will want to replace it with these yogurts." + +Lisa says, "Maybe, Mom. Maybe. But I still like the white yogurt with the red berries. It is my favorite." + +Mom says, "I know, Lisa. I know. It is my favorite too." +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It has black and white feathers and a long beak. It is a seagull. + +"Look, Ben, a seagull!" Mia says. "It can fly high and low. It can fly over the ocean. I want to fly like a seagull." + +"Me too, Mia," Ben says. "But we are not birds. We are kids. We can run and jump and climb, but we cannot fly." + +They watch the seagull fly away. They feel sad. They want to see the ocean and fly with the seagull. + +"Maybe we can fly in a dream," Mia says. "Let's go to bed and close our eyes. Maybe we will fly in our sleep." + +"Okay, Mia," Ben says. "But we have to wait until night. It is still day. We have to eat and play and read first." + +They go inside and do their things. They eat and play and read. They are happy, but they still think about the seagull and the ocean. + +When it is night, they brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They go to their room and get into their beds. They hug their teddy bears and say good night. + +"Good night, Ben," Mia says. "I hope we will fly in our dream." + +"Good night, Mia," Ben says. "I hope so too." + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They are sleepy and cozy. They dream of flying over the ocean with the seagull. They are happy and free. They smile in their sleep. +Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red cloth and a small tin of wax. She would sit on the floor and rub the cloth on her shoes until they shone. She was very modest and did not show off her shoes to anyone. She just liked to see them sparkle. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He was noisy and messy. He saw Lily polishing her shoes and laughed. "Why are you wasting your time on that?" he said. "Shoes are for walking, not for polishing. You are silly and boring." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She wanted him to go away and leave her alone. She said, "No, you are silly and boring. You do not know how to be quiet and nice. You only know how to make trouble and noise. Go away and let me polish my shoes." + +Tom did not go away. He grabbed Lily's tin of wax and threw it across the room. It hit the wall and spilled on the carpet. Lily gasped and cried. She loved her tin of wax. It was a gift from her grandma. She ran to pick it up and tried to clean the mess. + +Tom saw Lily crying and felt sorry. He realized he had been mean and rude. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you or your wax. I was just joking. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Tom and saw he was sincere. She wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I can forgive you. But you have to promise to be more quiet and nice. And to help me polish my shoes sometimes." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "I promise. And I also think your shoes are very pretty. Can I try to polish them with you?" + +Lily smiled back and said, "Yes, you can. Here, take this cloth and wax. And be careful not to spill it." + +They sat on the floor and polished their shoes together. They were quiet and modest. And they were happy. +Lila liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and sometimes in the street. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She danced with her doll, with her dog, and with her mom. + +One day, she saw a big truck in the street. It had many colors and shapes on it. It had music and people inside. Lila wanted to dance with them. She ran to the street and waved her arms. + +"Hey, little girl, get out of the street!" a man shouted from the truck. "It's not safe to dance here. Go back to your home." + +But Lila did not listen. She was persistent. She liked the music and the colors. She wanted to dance with the truck. She kept waving her arms and jumping. + +"Please, little girl, go away!" the man shouted again. "We have to go. We have a show to do. You can't dance with us. You are too small." + +But Lila did not listen. She was persistent. She liked the show and the people. She wanted to dance with them. She kept waving her arms and jumping. + +"Lila, Lila, where are you?" her mom called from the door. She saw Lila in the street. She saw the truck. She was scared. She ran to the street and grabbed Lila. + +"Lila, what are you doing?" her mom asked. "You can't dance in the street. It's dangerous. You could get hurt. You have to listen to the man. He is right. You are too small to dance with them." + +Lila looked at her mom. She looked at the truck. She looked at the man. She was sad. She liked to dance. She wanted to dance with them. She did not want to go home. + +"I'm sorry, mom," she said. "I just wanted to dance. I like to dance. Can I dance with them?" + +Her mom hugged her. She understood. She liked to dance too. She smiled at the man. She smiled at the truck. She smiled at Lila. + +"Maybe you can dance with them another time," she said. "When you are bigger. When it is safe. But for now, you can dance with me. You can dance in the garden. You can dance with your doll and your dog. You can dance as much as you want." + +Lila nodded. She was still sad. But she was also happy. She liked to dance with her mom. She liked to dance in the garden. She liked to dance with her doll and her dog. She was persistent. She danced all day. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a hose on the grass. It was long and green and wet. + +"Let's play with the hose!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Max said. + +They picked up the hose and turned on the tap. Water came out of the hose. They sprayed the water on the flowers and the trees and the birds. They sprayed the water on each other and giggled. + +But then they saw a big ball on the other side of the garden. It was red and shiny and round. + +"Let's roll the ball!" Max said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They dropped the hose and ran to the ball. They pushed the ball and kicked the ball and rolled the ball. They rolled the ball across the grass and the dirt and the stones. They rolled the ball to the fence and back. + +But they forgot about the hose. The hose was still on. The water was still coming out. The water was making a big puddle on the grass. The water was going to the house. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. + +"Oh no!" Max said. + +They saw the water reaching the door of the house. They saw their mom coming out of the house. She looked angry and wet. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. + +"We were playing with the hose and the ball!" Lily said. + +"We were having fun!" Max said. + +"You were being naughty!" mom said. "You wasted the water and made a mess! You have to turn off the hose and clean up the puddle!" + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They said sorry to mom. They turned off the hose and got a mop. They cleaned up the puddle and the dirt and the stones. They put the hose and the ball away. + +They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They decided to play with their books and their toys and their crayons. They decided to be good and not naughty. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big lemon tree. They see many yellow fruits on the tree. + +"Look, lemons!" Lily says. "Let's pick some." + +"OK," Ben says. "But be careful. The tree has sharp things." + +They pick some lemons and put them in a bag. Then they walk to the bench. They want to eat the lemons. + +Lily takes a lemon and peels it. She bites a piece. She makes a funny face. + +"Yuck!" she says. "This is sour!" + +Ben laughs. He wants to try too. He peels a lemon and bites a piece. He also makes a funny face. + +"Yuck!" he says. "This is sour too!" + +They spit out the lemons. They do not like them. + +"Let's show Mom and Dad," Lily says. "Maybe they can make lemonade." + +"Good idea," Ben says. "Lemonade is sweet and good." + +They walk to their parents. They show them the lemons. They tell them they are sour. + +Mom and Dad smile. They say they can make lemonade. They take the lemons and some water and sugar. They squeeze the lemons and mix everything. + +They give Lily and Ben some lemonade in cups. They drink it. They like it. + +"Yum!" they say. "This is good!" + +They thank Mom and Dad. They are happy. They learned something new. They learned that sour lemons can make sweet lemonade. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They saw a big tent with many colors. It was a shelter for people who had no home. + +"Can we go inside?" Lila asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask first," Ben said. + +They walked to the tent and saw a lady with a kind smile. She was holding a book. + +"Hello, children. Do you want to hear a story?" she asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said. + +The lady invited them to sit on a mat. She opened the book and showed them pictures of animals and plants and stars. She read them a story about a lion who was brave and a mouse who was smart. Lila and Ben listened and clapped when the story was over. + +"Thank you for the story. It was very nice," Lila said. + +"You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it," the lady said. + +Lila and Ben got up to leave. They felt dizzy from sitting so long. They held hands and walked to the slide. + +"Let's play some more," Ben said. + +"OK. But first, let's say goodbye to the lady," Lila said. + +They waved to the lady and said thank you again. The lady smiled and waved back. She was happy to see them happy. +Tom was a grumpy cat. He did not like to play with the other cats. He only liked to nap on his rag. His rag was old and soft and smelled like him. He always kept his rag in a corner of the house, where no one could bother him. + +One day, a new cat came to the house. Her name was Lily. She was small and white and very curious. She wanted to make friends with the other cats. She saw Tom napping on his rag and thought he looked lonely. She went to say hello to him. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked. + +Tom opened one eye and saw Lily. He did not like her. He did not want to talk to her. He wanted to nap on his rag. + +"Go away. This is my rag. You can't have it. You can't nap here. You are too noisy," he said. + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why Tom was so grumpy. She only wanted to be nice to him. She tried to touch his rag with her paw. + +"Please, can I nap with you? Your rag looks so cozy. I don't have a rag. I'm new here," she said. + +Tom hissed and scratched Lily. He did not want to share his rag. He did not want to nap with her. He wanted to be alone. + +"Ow! That hurt! You are mean! I don't like you!" Lily cried. + +She ran away from Tom and his rag. She found another cat who was friendly and let her nap with him. Tom was left alone on his rag. He was still grumpy. He did not have any friends. He did not know how to be nice. He did not know how to have fun. He only knew how to nap on his rag. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to do everything together. They played with the same toys, ate the same food, and wore the same clothes. They even slept in the same bed. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to a new place. It was called school. She said they would learn new things and make new friends. Ben and Lily were excited, but also a little scared. + +When they got to the school, their mom took them to a big room with many kids and a nice lady. The lady said her name was Miss Rose and she was their teacher. She said they would have fun and sing and draw and read. Ben and Lily smiled and held hands. + +But then, Miss Rose said something that made them sad. She said they had to separate. She said Ben had to go to the blue group and Lily had to go to the red group. They had to sit at different tables and play with different toys. Ben and Lily did not like that. They wanted to stay together. + +They tried to sneak to each other's tables, but Miss Rose saw them and told them to go back. They tried to whisper to each other, but Miss Rose heard them and told them to be quiet. They tried to hug each other, but Miss Rose stopped them and told them to share. + +Ben and Lily felt embarrassed. They did not want to make Miss Rose angry. They did not want to be bad. But they did not want to be apart. They missed each other. They cried. + +Miss Rose saw them crying and felt sorry. She understood they were scared and lonely. She said they could sit together for a little while and talk. She said they could still be twins, but they could also be friends with the other kids. She said they could still play together, but they could also play with the other toys. She said they could still love each other, but they could also learn new things. + +Ben and Lily listened to Miss Rose and felt better. They wiped their tears and smiled. They said thank you to Miss Rose and said sorry for being naughty. They said they would try to separate and be brave. They said they would still be twins, but they would also be friends. They hugged each other and then hugged Miss Rose. They were ready to go to school. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the backyard. They had a lot of plastic animals, cars, and blocks. They liked to make noises and stories with them. + +But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. Lila and Ben were scared. They did not know the dog. They thought it might hurt them or their toys. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Lila's hand and they ran to the house. But the dog was faster. It jumped over the fence and chased them. + +Ben saw a plastic chair near the door. He picked it up and turned around. He held the chair in front of him and Lila. He tried to look brave. He yelled at the dog. + +"Go away, dog! Leave us alone! We are not your food!" + +The dog stopped and growled. It did not like the chair. It did not like Ben's voice. It was confused and afraid. It turned around and ran away. + +Lila and Ben hugged each other. They were safe. They went inside the house and told their mom what happened. She was proud of them. + +"You are very brave, Ben. You protected Lila and yourself from the dog. You are a good brother." + +"And you are a good sister, Lila. You stayed with Ben and helped him. You are a good team." + +Lila and Ben smiled. They felt happy and loved. They decided to play with their plastic toys inside the house. They did not want to see the dog again. +Ben and Jen liked to play in the old house. It was big and had many rooms to explore. But they knew they had to be careful. Some things in the old house were broken and rotten. They could hurt them or make them sick. + +One day, they found a radio in the attic. It was dusty and had wires sticking out. Ben wanted to see if it worked. He pressed a button and turned a knob. The radio made a terrible noise. It was loud and scary. Jen covered her ears and cried. + +"Ben, stop it! It hurts my ears!" she shouted. + +Ben tried to turn off the radio, but it did not listen. The noise got worse. It sounded like a monster. Ben and Jen ran out of the attic. They did not want to play with the radio anymore. + +They ran down the stairs and out of the old house. They did not look back. They were glad to be outside. They heard birds and cars and people. They were not afraid of those noises. + +They decided to play in the park instead. They liked the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They did not like the old house or the rotten radio. They never went back there again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a big box that was their castle. They had sticks that were their swords. They had hats that were their crowns. + +One day, they saw something shiny in the grass. They ran to see what it was. It was a dragon egg! It was green and scaly and had spots. Lily and Ben were very excited. They wanted to have a dragon as a pet. + +They picked up the egg and carried it to their castle. They made a nest for it with leaves and flowers. They waited for it to hatch. They hoped it would be a friendly dragon. + +But the egg did not hatch. It started to smell bad. It was rotten. It was a disgusting dragon egg. Lily and Ben did not like it anymore. They wanted to get rid of it. + +"Yuck! This egg is gross!" Lily said. "Let's throw it away!" + +"Good idea!" Ben said. "But where?" + +They looked around. They saw a big trash can. They decided to put the egg there. They lifted the egg and walked to the trash can. They opened the lid and threw the egg inside. + +But as soon as they did, they heard a loud roar. They looked inside the trash can. There was a real dragon! It was angry and hungry. It had sharp teeth and claws and wings. It was not a friendly dragon. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the trash can. They ran to their castle. They hid inside the box. They hoped the dragon would not find them. + +They learned a lesson. They learned not to pick up strange eggs. They learned that some dragons are disgusting. They learned to be careful what they wish for. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bridge over a pond. They wanted to cross the bridge and see the ducks. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. He ran to the bridge and started to walk on it. + +Lily followed him, but she was scared. The bridge was high and wobbly. She heard the water splash under her feet. She held Tom's hand tight. + +"Tom, I don't like this bridge. It makes me feel funny," Lily said. + +Tom looked at her and smiled. "Don't be scared, Lily. It's fun. Look, we're almost there. Just a few more steps." + +He pointed to the other side of the bridge, where the ducks were swimming and quacking. + +Lily tried to be brave. She took a deep breath and stretched her legs. She wanted to see the ducks too. She walked with Tom to the end of the bridge. + +They made it! They were happy and proud. They waved at the ducks and threw some bread for them. + +"See, Lily? That wasn't so bad. You did it!" Tom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged him. "You're right, Tom. It was fun. Thank you for helping me." + +They smiled and watched the ducks eat the bread. They had a good time at the park. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, read books and draw pictures. One day, they decided to play pretend. They found some old clothes and hats and put them on. + +"Let's be a king and a queen," said Lily. "We can marry and live in a big castle." + +"OK," said Ben. "But we need a ring to marry. Where can we find one?" + +They looked around and saw a shiny bottle cap on the ground. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger. + +"Look, I found a ring!" she said. "Now we can marry." + +They held hands and walked to a big tree. They pretended it was their castle. They said some words they heard in a movie. + +"I marry you, Lily," said Ben. + +"I marry you, Ben," said Lily. + +They kissed each other on the cheek and smiled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds. It started to rain. + +"Oh no, it's raining!" said Lily. "We have to go home." + +They ran to their bikes and put on their helmets. They rode as fast as they could to their houses. They waved goodbye to each other. + +"I'll see you tomorrow, Ben," said Lily. + +"I'll see you tomorrow, Lily," said Ben. + +They went inside and took off their wet clothes. They were sleepy after their adventure. They had a snack and a drink. They hugged their moms and dads. They went to their beds and dreamed of being a king and a queen. They were happy. +Tom and Mia were outside with their mom and dad. They looked at the sky and saw many stars. They liked to make shapes with the stars, like a bear, a fish, or a bird. + +"Look, look!" Mia said, pointing at something bright. "What is that?" + +Tom and Mia's mom and dad looked too. They saw a long, shiny thing with a tail. It moved across the sky very fast. + +"That is a comet, Mia," their mom said. "A comet is a big ball of ice and dust that travels around the sun. Sometimes we can see it when it comes close to the earth." + +"A comet?" Tom repeated. He thought it was a very strange word. He wondered what the comet was doing and where it was going. + +"It is very mysterious, Tom," their dad said. "We don't know much about comets. Maybe they have secrets inside them. Maybe they come from far away places." + +Tom and Mia looked at the comet with big eyes. They felt curious and excited. They realized that the sky had many things to discover. They wanted to learn more about the comet and the stars. + +They hugged their mom and dad and said, "Thank you for showing us the comet. It is very beautiful and amazing. We love you and we love the sky." +Lily and Tom like to collect things. They collect rocks, shells, leaves, and stickers. They have a big box where they keep their collections. Sometimes they trade with each other or show their friends. + +One day, they find a funny thing in the park. It is round and shiny and has a hole in the middle. They do not know what it is. They think it is a mystery. They put it in their box and go home. + +At home, they show their mom the funny thing. Mom smiles and says, "That is a coin. It is money. You can use it to buy things." She tells them that the coin is very old and has a picture of a king on it. She says it is worth a lot of money. + +Lily and Tom are very surprised and happy. They thank their mom and hug her. They decide to keep the coin in their box. They think it is the best thing they ever collected. They wonder what other mysteries they will find. +Sara is a very intelligent girl. She likes to read books and learn new things. She also likes to ride her bicycle in the park with her friends. One day, she sees a new boy in the park. He has a blue bicycle and a big smile. + +"Hi, I am Sara. What is your name?" she asks the boy. + +"Hi, I am Tom. I just moved here with my family. Do you like my bicycle?" he answers. + +"Yes, I do. It is very nice. Do you want to ride with me and my friends?" she invites him. + +"Sure, I would love to. Thank you for inviting me. You are very kind." he says. + +Sara and Tom ride their bicycles together and have a lot of fun. They talk about their favorite books and animals. They find out that they have many things in common. They become good friends and invite each other to play again. Sara is happy that she met Tom. She thinks he is very intelligent and friendly. +Lily loved to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes of crayons in her box. She liked to make pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She was very careful with her crayons and always put them back in the box when she was done. + +One day, she went to play with her friend Max. Max also liked to draw, but he did not have many crayons. He only had a few cheap crayons that were broken and dull. He was not careful with his crayons and left them on the floor or in his pockets. He asked Lily if he could borrow some of her crayons. Lily said yes, because she wanted to be nice and share. + +They drew together for a while, but then Max got bored. He wanted to play with his cars and trucks. He took some of Lily's crayons and put them in his toy box. He did not tell Lily or ask her if he could keep them. He forgot about them and went to play with his cars and trucks. + +Lily looked for her crayons, but she could not find them. She asked Max where they were. He said he did not know. He lied to Lily. Lily was sad and angry. She wanted her crayons back. She looked in Max's toy box and saw them. She took them out and said to Max: + +"Max, these are my crayons. You did not return them to me. You took them without asking. That is not nice. That is mean. You are a bad friend. I do not want to play with you anymore." + +She put her crayons back in her box and left. She went home and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said: + +"Lily, I am sorry that Max was not nice to you. You did the right thing to take your crayons back. You are a good friend. You are kind and generous. You are careful with your things. I am proud of you." + +Lily felt better. She drew a picture of her mom with her crayons. She gave it to her mom and said: + +"I love you, mom. You are the best mom in the world." + +Her mom smiled and said: + +"I love you, too, Lily. You are the best daughter in the world." +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be teachers and students. They use their toys and books as tools. + +"Tom, I will teach you how to read this book. It has pictures of animals and their names. Look, this is a cat. It says 'cat'. Can you say 'cat'?" Lily says. + +"Cat. Cat. Cat. I like cats. They are soft and furry. Do you have a cat, Lily?" Tom says. + +"No, I don't have a cat. But I have a dog. His name is Spot. He is a good dog. He likes to play fetch and bark. Do you want to see him?" Lily says. + +"Yes, I want to see Spot. Where is he?" Tom says. + +"He is in the backyard. Come on, let's go. But we have to be careful. Mom said the backyard is filthy. She said there are bugs and dirt and trash. She said we have to wear shoes and hats and gloves. She said she will clean it later. She is busy with the grocery. She has to buy food and drinks and snacks for us." Lily says. + +"Okay, let's go. But we have to be quiet. We don't want to bother Mom. She works hard. She is a nice Mom. She loves us." Tom says. + +They put on their shoes and hats and gloves. They sneak out of the door. They see Spot in the backyard. He is happy to see them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. They play with him. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They hug him and pet him. They have fun. They forget about the filthy backyard. They forget about the grocery. They forget about everything. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily saw a big green plant with spikes. She wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Max, a cactus!" she said. + +Max shook his head. "No, Lily, don't touch it. It will hurt you. The spikes are sharp." + +Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand and touched the cactus. She felt a sting and pulled back. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Max, it hurts!" + +Max ran to her and hugged her. He saw a small spike in her finger. He tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. + +"Don't worry, Lily, I will help you. We need to go to Mom. She will know what to do." + +They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen. She saw Lily's finger and took her to the sink. She washed it with water and soap. She used a tweezer to take out the spike. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"There, there, Lily, you will be okay. The cactus did not mean to hurt you. It is just its way of protecting itself. Next time, be careful and don't touch it, okay?" + +Lily nodded and hugged Mom. She felt better. She said sorry to the cactus and thanked Max for being a good brother. They went back to the garden and played with something else. They saw a ball and a truck. They were available and fun. They did not worry about the cactus anymore. They were happy. +Ben and Sam were friends who liked to play football. They lived in a big house with a big garden, because their parents were wealthy. They had many toys and books, but football was their favorite. + +One day, they decided to play football in the garden. They kicked the ball to each other, and ran and laughed. They had a lot of fun. But then, the ball went over the fence, into the neighbor's yard. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "How can we get the ball back?" + +Sam looked at the fence. It was very high and had sharp points on top. He had an idea. + +"I know!" he said. "We can lift each other over the fence!" + +He pointed to a big box near the fence. "You stand on the box, and I will lift you up. Then you can grab the ball and throw it back. Then I will lift you down." + +Ben nodded. He thought it was a good plan. He climbed on the box, and Sam lifted him up. He reached for the ball, but it was too far. He stretched his arm, but he could not touch it. + +"Help!" he cried. "I can't get the ball!" + +Sam tried to lift him higher, but he was too heavy. He lost his balance, and they both fell to the ground. + +"Ouch!" they said. They had scratches and bruises on their legs and arms. + +They heard a loud bark. They looked up, and saw a big dog running towards them. It was the neighbor's dog, and it did not look friendly. + +"Run!" Sam shouted. They got up and ran to the door. They knocked and rang the bell, hoping the neighbor would hear them. + +The neighbor opened the door. He was an old man with a long beard. He looked angry. + +"What are you doing in my yard?" he asked. "And why are you trying to steal my ball?" + +Ben and Sam were scared. They tried to explain, but the old man did not listen. He took the ball and slammed the door. + +Ben and Sam ran back to their house. They were sad and sorry. They had lost their ball, and made the neighbor mad. + +They decided to never try to lift each other over the fence again. They learned that it was not a good idea, and that it was better to ask for permission first. They hoped the neighbor would forgive them, and maybe share his ball with them someday. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to cook and bake. One day, her mom was making a cake for Lily's dad. She told Lily to watch the cake in the oven and not to touch the stove. + +Lily nodded and sat on a chair. She saw the cake rise and smell good. She wondered how it tasted. She wanted to take a bite. She got off the chair and walked to the stove. She reached for the oven door. + +"Stop, Lily!" her mom shouted. "The stove is hot! You will burn yourself!" + +Lily jumped back and felt scared. She saw her mom run to the stove and turn it off. She took the cake out with big gloves. She put it on the table and hugged Lily. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I was curious." + +"I know, sweetie," her mom said. "But you have to be careful. The stove can hurt you. You have to wait until the cake is cool." + +Lily nodded and said sorry again. Her mom smiled and kissed her. + +"You are a brave girl, Lily," her mom said. "But sometimes being brave means listening and waiting. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded again and hugged her mom. She said she loved her. Her mom said she loved her too. They waited for the cake to cool and then they cut a slice for Lily. She tasted it and said it was yummy. Her mom said it was for dad, but they could share. Lily was happy and thanked her mom. She learned a lesson and enjoyed the cake. +Tom and Lily were very excited. They were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They wanted to see the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes. But most of all, they wanted to see the lions. They had seen lions in books and on TV, but never in real life. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They sang songs and played games to pass the time. Finally, they arrived at the zoo. They got out of the car and followed their mom and dad to the entrance. They got their tickets and entered the zoo. + +They saw many animals on their way to the lion enclosure. They saw monkeys swinging from trees, penguins sliding on ice, and zebras running in a field. They oohed and aahed at each one. But they kept asking, "Where are the lions? When can we see the lions?" + +They reached the lion enclosure at last. They ran to the fence and looked for the lions. But they could not see any lions. They only saw a big rock and some grass. They felt disappointed and sad. Where were the lions? Had they gone away? + +Then, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big, yellow lion coming out of a cave. He had a long, brown mane and sharp, white teeth. He looked at them and roared again. They felt scared and amazed at the same time. They had never heard such a sound before. + +"Wow, look at the lion!" Tom said. + +"He is so big and strong!" Lily said. + +"He is also very difficult to see. He was hiding in the cave," their mom said. + +"He must be sleepy. Maybe he was taking a nap," their dad said. + +They watched the lion for a while. He walked around the enclosure, stretched his legs, and yawned. Then, he lay down on the rock and closed his eyes. He looked peaceful and happy. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They had seen the lion. They had heard the lion. They had learned something new about the lion. They felt happy and proud. They thanked their mom and dad for taking them to the zoo. They had a wonderful day. +Sam and Jen are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. + +One day, they decide to have a race. They each pick a car and line them up at the start. They count to three and say "go!" + +Sam's car is red and fast. Jen's car is blue and slow. Sam's car zooms ahead and leaves Jen's car behind. Sam is happy. He thinks he will win. + +Jen is sad. She thinks she will lose. She worries that Sam will not be her friend anymore. She tries to make her car go faster, but it does not work. + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Jen calls out. "Please, wait for me!" + +Sam hears Jen. He looks back and sees her car far away. He feels sorry for Jen. He remembers that Jen is his friend. He does not want to make her sad. + +He slows down his car and lets Jen catch up. He smiles at her and says "Sorry, Jen. I was not patient. Let's finish the race together." + +Jen smiles back and says "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I don't mind if you are faster. I like to play with you." + +They hold their cars side by side and cross the finish line together. They hug and laugh. They are happy. They do not worry anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a bike, a doll and a tiger. The tiger was Lily's favorite toy. It was soft and orange and had black stripes. It had a loud roar when Lily pressed its belly. + +"Roar!" Lily said, making the tiger roar at Ben. "You are a lion and I am a tiger. We are friends." + +"Roar!" Ben said, playing along. "Yes, we are friends. Let's run and jump and play." + +They ran and jumped and played with the ball and the bike and the doll and the tiger. They had a lot of fun. But then, a big dog came to the park. It saw the tiger and thought it was a real animal. It barked and ran towards it. + +"Hey, that's my tiger!" Lily shouted, trying to grab it. But the dog was faster and snatched the tiger from her hands. It ran away with it, shaking it and biting it. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Ben shouted, following the dog. "Give it back, give it back, give it back!" + +Lily cried and cried. She loved her tiger. She wanted it back. She was sad and scared. + +Ben chased the dog until it reached a fence. The dog dropped the tiger and jumped over the fence. Ben picked up the tiger and looked at it. It was dirty and torn. It had holes and rips. It did not roar anymore. + +"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Ben said, feeling sorry. "The dog broke your tiger, Lily. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +He ran back to Lily and gave her the tiger. Lily hugged the tiger and sobbed. She looked at the tiger and saw how bad it was. + +"Can we fix it, Ben?" she asked, wiping her tears. "Can we make it better?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He had an idea. + +"Yes, we can, Lily. We can restore it. We can make it new again. Come on, let's go to my house. My mom can help us. She can sew and clean and fix things. She can make your tiger roar again." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She held the tiger tight and followed Ben. They went to his house and asked his mom for help. His mom was kind and nice. She took the tiger and sewed and cleaned and fixed it. She put a new battery in its belly and made it roar again. + +"Here you go, Lily. Your tiger is restored. It is good as new. It is happy and healthy. It loves you very much." his mom said, giving the tiger back to Lily. + +Lily was so happy. She thanked his mom and hugged the tiger. She pressed its belly and heard its roar. + +"Roar!" she said, smiling. "Thank you, Ben. Thank you, mom. You are the best. You are my friends." + +"Roar!" Ben said, smiling too. "You are welcome, Lily. You are my friend too. Let's go back to the park and play some more." + +They went back to the park and played with the ball and the bike and the doll and the tiger. They had a lot of fun. They were happy and safe. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were helping Mom and Dad decorate the big tree in the living room. They had a box of shiny things that they could hang on the tree. Lily liked the red ones and Ben liked the blue ones. They took turns to choose and hang the shiny things. + +"Look, Lily, this one is very pretty!" Ben said, holding a shiny thing that looked like a star. "It has many colors and sparkles in the light. Can I hang it on the top of the tree?" + +Lily looked at the shiny thing and nodded. "Yes, Ben, you can hang it on the top of the tree. It is very pretty. But do you know what it is? It is not just a shiny thing. It is an ornament." + +"An ornament?" Ben asked, puzzled. "What is an ornament?" + +Lily smiled and tried to explain. "An ornament is a special thing that you use to make something else look nice. Like the shiny things on the tree. They are ornaments. They make the tree look nice. Do you understand?" + +Ben thought for a moment and then nodded. "I think I understand. An ornament is a special shiny thing. Thank you, Lily, for explaining. You are very kind." + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are very kind, too. Now let's hang the ornament on the top of the tree together." +Sara and Ben like to play with pins. They have a big box of pins with different colors and shapes. They make pictures with the pins on a board. Sara likes to make flowers and Ben likes to make cars. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a long pin in the box. It is longer than their fingers and has a shiny head. Sara wants to use the long pin for her flower. She says, "This pin is mine. It is the best pin for my flower." + +Ben says, "No, this pin is mine. It is the best pin for my car. Give it to me." He tries to take the long pin from Sara, but Sara holds it tight. + +They pull and tug on the long pin. They are both angry and loud. They do not hear their mom coming into the room. + +Mom sees Sara and Ben fighting over the long pin. She is worried and scared. She says, "Stop! That pin is not safe. It can hurt you. Remove it from your hands and put it back in the box. Now!" + +Sara and Ben stop and look at mom. They see her face is serious and sad. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, mom. We were not nice. We will not fight over the pin. We will share the pins." + +Mom smiles and hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. I love you. You are good children. Now, let me see your pictures. They are very pretty and cool." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a soft doll that she liked to hug and dress up. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom and crash. They were having fun, but sometimes they wanted different things. + +"Let me play with your car, Ben!" Lily said, reaching for his toy. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said, pulling it away. "You have your doll!" + +"But I want to try your car!" Lily said, trying to grab it again. + +They started to fight over the car, pulling and pushing each other. Lily's arm hurt from Ben's grip. Ben's car fell on the floor and broke. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" their mom said, coming into the room. She saw the broken car and the angry faces. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +"She wanted my car!" Ben said. + +"He wouldn't share!" Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the car and the doll. She gave the car to Ben and the doll to Lily. + +"Look, Ben, your car is broken. How do you feel?" she asked. + +"Sad," Ben said, looking at the car. + +"Look, Lily, your arm is red. How do you feel?" she asked. + +"Ouch," Lily said, rubbing her arm. + +"Do you think fighting is a good way to play?" mom asked. + +"No," Lily and Ben said. + +"Then what can you do instead?" mom asked. + +"Say sorry," Lily said. + +"Ask nicely," Ben said. + +"Good," mom said. "Now, can you hug and make up?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for hurting each other. They hugged and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She gave them a kiss and a hug. + +"That's better," she said. "Now, do you want to play together?" + +"Yes," Lily and Ben said. + +They took their toys and played nicely. They shared and took turns. They had fun again. Mom was happy. +Ben and Lily liked to look at the stars at night. They wondered what was out there in the big, dark space. They called it the universe. They wanted to catch a star and keep it as a friend. + +One night, they saw a bright, shiny star falling from the sky. They were very eager to catch it. They ran outside with a big net and a jar. They followed the star with their eyes. + +"Look, there it is!" Ben shouted. "It's landing in the park!" + +"Let's go, let's go!" Lily said. "Maybe we can catch it before it goes away!" + +They ran as fast as they could to the park. They saw the star lying on the grass. It was small and warm and sparkly. They were very happy. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. "Can we keep it?" + +"Sure, let's put it in the jar!" Ben said. He carefully picked up the star and put it in the jar. He closed the lid. + +They looked at the star in the jar. It twinkled and smiled at them. They felt like they had caught a piece of the universe. They hugged each other and the jar. + +"We did it, we did it!" they said. "We caught a star!" + +They took the star home and put it on their bedside table. They said good night to the star and to each other. They fell asleep, dreaming of the universe. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toy horses in the garden. They have a big box of things to dress up their horses. Lily likes to put a hat and a scarf on her horse. Tom likes to put a whip and a saddle on his horse. + +"Look at my horse, he is very fast and strong!" Tom says, making a sound with his whip. "He can run and jump over anything!" + +"My horse is very calm and nice," Lily says, stroking her horse's mane. "He likes to lie down and cuddle with me." + +Tom thinks that Lily's horse is boring. He wants to make his horse run and jump more. He sees a big log near the fence. He runs to the log with his horse and tries to make him jump over it. + +But Tom's horse does not want to jump. He is scared of the log. He stops and neighs loudly. Tom pulls on the whip and the saddle, but the horse does not move. + +"Come on, you silly horse, jump!" Tom shouts. + +Lily hears Tom shouting. She runs to him with her horse. She sees that Tom's horse is scared and unhappy. She feels sorry for him. + +"Tom, stop hurting your horse!" Lily says. "He does not like the whip and the saddle. He does not like to jump over logs. He wants to be calm and lie down, like my horse." + +Tom looks at Lily and her horse. He sees that they are happy and relaxed. He feels bad for hurting his horse. He takes off the whip and the saddle and puts them back in the box. + +"I'm sorry, horse," Tom says, hugging his horse. "You are a good horse. You can be calm and lie down, too." + +Lily smiles and nods. She and Tom lie down next to their horses and cuddle with them. They are all calm and happy. +Sara loves to design things. She likes to draw and cut and glue and make new things. She has many papers and crayons and scissors and stickers. She can design anything she wants. + +One day, Sara decides to design an elephant. She thinks elephants are big and gray and have long noses. She takes a big paper and draws a big circle for the body. Then she draws four legs and a tail. She cuts out a long strip of paper and glues it to the front of the circle. That is the nose. She adds two ears and two eyes and a mouth. She puts some stickers on the elephant to make it pretty. + +She shows her elephant to her mom. "Look, mom, I designed an elephant!" she says proudly. + +Mom smiles and hugs Sara. "Wow, Sara, you did a great job! Your elephant is very new and beautiful. What is its name?" she asks. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes the sound of the letter E. She says, "Its name is Ellie. Ellie the elephant. Do you like it?" + +Mom nods and kisses Sara. "I love it, Sara. And I love you. You are very creative and smart. Do you want to design more things with me?" + +Sara nods and claps her hands. "Yes, mom, I do! Let's design more things together!" she says happily. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They see a big tunnel made of wood and metal. They want to go inside and see what is there. + +"Can we go in the tunnel, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, but be careful and stay together," Mom answers. + +Ben and Lily run to the tunnel and enter. It is dark and cold. They hear strange noises. + +"What is that?" Lily says. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster," Ben says. + +They are scared. They want to go back. + +"Mom, Mom, where are you?" they shout. + +But Mom does not answer. She is too far away. She cannot hear them. + +Ben and Lily hold hands and walk fast. They hope to find the end of the tunnel soon. + +They see a light. It is the other side of the tunnel. They are happy. + +They run out of the tunnel and see Mom. She is waiting for them. + +"Mom, Mom, we are here!" they say. + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. + +"I'm so glad you are safe. You are very brave," she says. + +"Thank you, Mom. We love you," they say. + +Mom smiles and says, "You are good children. Now let's go home and have some cookies." +Lila and Tom went to the park with Mom. They saw many birds by the pond. Lila liked the ducks. Tom liked the swans. He wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can I feed the swans, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. They might bite," Mom said. + +Tom took a piece of bread and threw it to the water. A big white swan came and ate it. Tom was happy. He threw another piece. But this time, a weird bird came. It was black and had a long neck and a red beak. It looked like a swan, but different. + +"What is that, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"That is a black swan, Tom. It is very rare. You are lucky to see one," Mom said. + +"Wow, it is so cool. Can I feed it too?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, but don't get too close. It might be shy," Mom said. + +Tom threw another piece of bread to the black swan. It came and ate it. It looked at Tom with its dark eyes. Tom smiled. He felt like he made a new friend. + +"Thank you for the bread, Tom," the black swan said. + +Tom was surprised. He did not know birds could talk. + +"Did you hear that, Mom? The black swan said thank you!" Tom said. + +Mom looked at the black swan. She did not hear anything. She thought Tom was using his imagination. + +"Maybe it did, Tom. Maybe it did," Mom said. + +Tom was happy. He had completed his mission. He had fed the swans and met a weird bird. He wanted to come back to the park again. He hoped the black swan would be there too. +Tom and his dad went to the river to catch fish. They brought their spears and a basket. Tom liked to help his dad with fishing. He was very alert and looked for fish in the water. + +"Look, dad, there is a big fish!" Tom said, pointing with his spear. "Can I try to catch it?" + +"Sure, Tom, but be careful. The fish is fast and strong. You have to aim well and throw your spear hard," his dad said, smiling. + +Tom nodded and got ready to throw his spear. He waited for the right moment, then threw it with all his might. The spear flew through the air and hit the fish. The fish splashed and struggled, but it could not escape. + +"Wow, Tom, you did it! You caught a big fish!" his dad said, proud of his son. He helped Tom pull the fish out of the water and put it in the basket. + +"Thank you, dad. I am happy. Can we catch more fish?" Tom asked, excited. + +"Of course, Tom. Let's gather more spears and look for more fish. Maybe we can find some smaller ones for you to practice. Fishing is fun, isn't it?" his dad said, hugging Tom. + +"Yes, dad, fishing is fun. I love fishing with you," Tom said, hugging his dad back. They gathered more spears and went back to the river, looking for more fish to catch. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They know how to jog and how to swing and how to slide. They have fun together. + +One day, they see a funny dog in the park. The dog is big and brown and has a long tail. The dog runs and jumps and barks. Lily and Tom want to pet the dog, but they are a little scared. + +"Hello, dog," Lily says. "Can we be your friends?" + +The dog wags his tail and licks Lily's face. Lily giggles and hugs the dog. Tom smiles and pets the dog's ears. + +"Good dog," Tom says. "You are very funny and nice." + +The dog's owner comes and sees Lily and Tom. He is happy that they like his dog. + +"His name is Max," he says. "He loves to jog and play. Do you want to jog with us?" + +Lily and Tom nod and hold the owner's hands. They jog with Max around the park. They have more fun together. They are happy. +Lily and her family were going on a trip. They packed their bags and got in the car. Lily was very enthusiastic. She wanted to see new things and have fun. + +After a long time, they arrived at a hotel. It was a big building with many rooms. Lily's dad checked in and got a key. He said they had to go to the third floor. Lily did not like that. She wanted to stay on the ground. + +"No, no, no!" she said. "I don't want to go up. I want to stay here." + +Lily's mom tried to calm her down. She said the hotel had a nice pool and a playground. She said they could go there after they put their bags in the room. She said it would be fun. + +But Lily refused. She did not want to go to the pool or the playground. She did not want to go to the room. She wanted to stay on the ground. She cried and kicked and screamed. + +Lily's dad was not happy. He said they had to go to the room. He said they had paid for it and they had to follow the rules. He said they could not stay on the ground. He picked up Lily and carried her to the elevator. + +Lily did not like the elevator. It was a small box that moved up and down. She was scared. She held on to her dad and closed her eyes. She wished they had not come to the hotel. She wished they had stayed at home. +Tim and his mom went to the zoo. Tim liked to see the animals. He saw lions, monkeys, and elephants. He wanted to see the parrots too. He liked their colors and sounds. + +They walked to the parrot house. There were many parrots there. Some were red, some were blue, some were green. They said hello, bye-bye, and funny things. Tim laughed and clapped his hands. + +But one parrot was not happy. He was in a cage by himself. He had a bandage on his wing. He looked sad and hurt. Tim felt sorry for him. He asked his mom, "Why is he alone? Why is he hurt?" + +His mom said, "He was in a bad place before. Some bad people did not take care of him. They hurt his wing. The zoo people found him and brought him here. They are trying to help him. They are searching for a friend for him." + +Tim wanted to help too. He said, "Can I be his friend? Can I talk to him?" His mom said, "Yes, you can. But be gentle and quiet. He is scared and shy." + +Tim went to the cage. He said hello to the parrot. The parrot did not say anything. He looked at Tim with his big eyes. Tim said, "I like you. You are pretty. I am sorry you are hurt. I hope you feel better soon." + +The parrot tilted his head. He made a soft sound. He said, "Thank you. You are nice. I like you too." Tim smiled. He felt happy. He made a new friend. +Lily hated the stair. It was big and hard and made her fall. She had a red mark on her knee from the last time she tried to go up. She wanted to play with her toys in her room, but the stair was in the way. + +One day, her big brother Sam saw her crying at the bottom of the stair. He was thoughtful and wanted to help her. He said, "Lily, don't be sad. I have an idea. Come with me." + +He took her to the garage and showed her a big box. He said, "This is a magic box. It can fly. We can use it to go to your room. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded. She liked magic. She climbed into the box with Sam. He pushed a button and the box made a noise. It lifted off the ground and flew over the stair. Lily laughed and clapped. She saw her room through the window. + +The box landed softly on the floor. Sam opened the door and said, "Here we are. You can play with your toys now. I'll come back later to fly you down." + +Lily hugged him and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are the best brother ever. I love you." + +She ran to her toys and smiled. She didn't hate the stair anymore. She had a magic box and a thoughtful brother. She was happy. +Ben and Lily were walking with their mom to the park. They liked to see the big pictures on the wall that told them about new things. Mom called them billboards. Ben saw a billboard with a bird on it. The bird had a big mouth and a funny hat. It said, "Whistle for a treat!" + +Ben wanted to try. He liked treats. He tried to whistle, but he could only make a small sound. Lily laughed at him. She could whistle very well. She whistled loud and clear. The bird on the billboard moved. It looked at Lily and said, "That's a nice whistle. Here's your treat!" It threw a candy at Lily. Lily caught it and smiled. + +Ben was sad. He wanted a candy too. He tried to whistle again, but he still could not. The bird on the billboard moved again. It looked at Ben and said, "That's a bad whistle. No treat for you!" It threw a rock at Ben. Ben dodged it and cried. + +Mom saw what happened. She was angry. She said to the bird, "That's very rude. You should not throw rocks at children. You should not make fun of them. You should say sorry." The bird on the billboard did not say sorry. It said, "I don't care. I do what I want. Go away!" + +Mom took Ben and Lily by the hand. She said, "Let's go to the park. We don't need that mean bird. We have each other. And we have more treats at home." Ben and Lily nodded. They hugged Mom and walked away. They did not look at the bird on the billboard anymore. They looked at the flowers and the trees and the sky. They felt happy. +Lisa and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big cake on a table. It had white cream and red flowers on it. Lisa and Tom wanted to eat the cake. It looked yummy. + +"Who is the cake for?" Lisa asked. + +Tom pointed to a man and a woman in nice clothes. They were holding hands and smiling. "They are getting marriage," Tom said. "They are happy." + +Lisa and Tom thought marriage was silly. They did not want to hold hands and smile. They wanted to eat cake. They were naughty. + +They ran to the table and grabbed the cake. They stuffed it in their mouths. It was sweet and soft. They laughed and made a mess. + +But the man and the woman saw them. They were angry. They shouted at Lisa and Tom. "Stop! That is our cake! You are ruining our marriage!" + +Lisa and Tom were scared. They dropped the cake and ran away. They hid behind a tree. They felt bad. They knew they did a wrong thing. + +They said sorry to each other. They decided to be good friends. They did not want to eat cake anymore. They wanted to hold hands and smile. Maybe marriage was not so silly after all. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings and the slide, and to look for bugs and flowers. Ben saw a caterpillar on a leaf and ran to show Lily. + +"Look, Lily, a caterpillar!" he said, holding the leaf. + +Lily jogged over to see. She liked caterpillars too. They were soft and fuzzy and had many legs. + +"Wow, it's a pretty caterpillar!" she said, touching it gently. "It has green and yellow stripes. What kind is it?" + +Ben shrugged. He didn't know. He asked their mom. + +Mom smiled and looked at the caterpillar. She knew a lot about bugs and animals. + +"It's a monarch caterpillar," she said. "It's different from other caterpillars. Do you know why?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They wanted to know. + +"Because it can turn into a butterfly," mom said. "A beautiful orange and black butterfly. It will make a cocoon and sleep for a while, and then come out with wings." + +Ben and Lily gasped. They couldn't believe it. They wanted to see the butterfly. + +"Can we keep it, mom?" Ben asked. + +Mom shook her head. She said no. + +"It's better to let it go, Ben," she said. "It needs to find a special plant to eat and a safe place to make its cocoon. And then it needs to fly away and find other butterflies. That's its life. We can watch it for a little bit, but then we have to say goodbye." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They loved the caterpillar, but they wanted it to be happy. They watched it crawl on the leaf for a while, and then they put it back on the plant. They said goodbye and thanked it for letting them see it. + +They hoped to see it again as a butterfly. They knew it would be different, but still beautiful. +Tom is a cat. He likes to eat food. He is hungry. He sees a can of food on the table. He jumps on the table. He tries to open the can with his paw. He cannot open it. He meows. + +Lily is a girl. She hears Tom meow. She goes to the kitchen. She sees Tom on the table. She sees the can of food. She says, "Tom, you are naughty. You cannot open the can. You need a tool. I will help you." + +She takes the can and the tool. She opens the can with the tool. She puts the food in a bowl. She gives the bowl to Tom. She says, "Here, Tom. Eat your food. But eat slow. Do not eat too fast. Or you will be sick." + +Tom is happy. He eats the food. He eats slow. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are kind. You are my friend." + +Lily is happy. She pets Tom. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are cute. You are my friend." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There are many swings and slides and sand. Anna and Ben are happy. + +Anna sees a big red seat. It looks like a car. She runs to the seat and sits in it. She pretends to drive. She says, "Beep beep! I am a driver!" + +Ben sees the seat too. He likes cars. He runs to the seat and tries to sit in it. But Anna is in the seat. She does not want to share. She says, "No, Ben! This is my seat! Go away!" + +Ben is sad. He does not understand why Anna is mean. He says, "But I want to play too! Please, Anna, can we share the seat?" + +Anna is angry. She does not want to share. She pushes Ben. Ben falls down. He cries. He hurts his knee. + +Their moms hear the cry. They come to the seat. They see Anna and Ben. They are not happy. They say, "Anna, why did you push Ben? That is not nice. You have to share the seat. Ben, are you okay? Let me see your knee." + +Anna sees Ben's knee. It is red and bleeding. She feels sorry. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. I was bad. I did not share the seat. Are you hurt?" + +Ben sees Anna's face. She looks sad. He says, "It is okay, Anna. I am sorry too. I did not ask you. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna and Ben hug. They say, "We are friends. We can share the seat. We can play together." + +Their moms smile. They say, "That is good. We are proud of you. You learned to share and say sorry. Now, let's clean your knee and put a band-aid on it. Then, you can play some more." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom." They go to the seat. They take turns to drive. They say, "Beep beep! We are drivers!" They are happy. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She liked to make her paintings look nice and bright. + +One day, she wanted to paint something new. She asked her mom, "What can I paint today?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Why don't you paint your own style? You can use any colors and shapes you want. You can paint how you feel or what you dream." + +Lily thought that was a good idea. She said, "OK, I will paint my style. It will be fun and pretty." + +She took a big paper and some paints. She dipped her brush in blue and made a big circle. Then she dipped it in yellow and made a small star. She dipped it in red and made a heart. She dipped it in green and made a leaf. She dipped it in purple and made a dot. + +She looked at her painting and smiled. She said, "This is my style. I like it. It has all my favorite colors and shapes. It makes me happy." + +Her mom came and saw her painting. She said, "Wow, Lily, your painting is beautiful. I love your style. You are very creative and talented." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I hang my painting on the wall?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, you can. Let's find a good spot for it. You should be proud of your work." + +Lily was very happy. She said, "I am ready to paint more. I have many more styles to show you." +On Sunday, Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom and Dad. They wanted to play on the swings and the slide, but it was very cold. The wind blew hard and made their noses red. Mom and Dad said they had to wear hats and gloves and scarves. + +Tom and Lily did not like that. They felt uncomfortable in their warm clothes. They wanted to feel the sun on their skin and the grass under their feet. They tried to have fun, but they were not happy. + +"Can we go home, Mom?" Lily asked. "I don't like the park today. It's too freeze." + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "I know, sweetie. It's not a good day for the park. But we can do something else. How about we go to the library and pick some books? Then we can read them at home with hot chocolate and cookies. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded. She liked books and hot chocolate and cookies. She looked at Tom, who also nodded. He liked them too. + +"Okay, then. Let's go to the library," Mom said. "But first, let's take a picture of us in the park. Maybe we can make a snowman later, when it snows more." + +Tom and Lily smiled and posed with Mom and Dad. They were still cold, but they felt a little better. They knew they would have a cozy and fun Sunday at home. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was orange. She wanted to draw an orange cat, like the one she saw in a book. She took a big piece of paper and started to draw. + +She drew a round head, two ears, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Then she drew a long body, four legs, a tail, and some stripes. She used her orange crayon to color the cat. She was very happy with her drawing. + +She showed her drawing to her mom. "Look, mom, I drew an orange cat!" she said proudly. + +Mom smiled and hugged her. "You did a great job, Lily. I love your orange cat. You succeeded in drawing it very well." + +"Thank you, mom. Can I hang it on the fridge?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Let's find a magnet." Mom said. + +They went to the kitchen and looked for a magnet. They found a blue one that was shaped like a star. It was rough and bumpy. Lily liked how it felt in her hand. + +She put the magnet on the fridge and hung her drawing next to it. She admired her orange cat and smiled. She was very happy. She had succeeded in drawing her favorite animal. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They also liked to pick the corn that grew in the corner. The corn was yellow and sweet and crunchy. + +One day, they saw a big crow sitting on the fence. The crow was black and shiny and noisy. It looked at the corn and made a loud sound. "Caw, caw, caw!" it said. + +Anna and Ben did not like the crow. They thought it wanted to eat their corn. They shouted at the crow. "Go away, go away, go away!" they said. + +The crow did not go away. It looked at them and made another loud sound. "Caw, caw, caw!" it said. It sounded like it was laughing at them. + +Anna and Ben were angry. They picked up some stones and threw them at the crow. But the crow was fast and flew away. It landed on another fence, far from the corn. + +Anna and Ben were glad. They ran to the corn and picked some ears. They peeled off the green leaves and bit into the yellow kernels. They smiled at each other and said, "Yum, yum, yum!" + +The crow watched them from the fence. It made one more loud sound. "Caw, caw, caw!" it said. It sounded like it was saying goodbye. + +Anna and Ben did not reply. They did not care about the crow. They only cared about their corn. They ate and ate until they were full. Then they went back to their game. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they woke up and saw white things falling from the sky. They were very happy and ran to the window. + +"Look, look, snow!" Lily shouted. + +"Snow, snow, let's go!" Tom echoed. + +They put on their warm clothes and boots and ran outside. They saw a big hill of snow near their house. They decided to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +They climbed and climbed, but the hill was very long. They started to get tired and cold. + +"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, maybe soon," Lily said. + +They kept climbing until they reached the top. They looked over the edge and saw something amazing. It was a big lake with ice and snowflakes. They also saw some animals playing on the ice. They saw a bear, a fox, a deer and a rabbit. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. + +"It's so pretty!" Tom said. + +They had found a secret place that the snow had revealed. They smiled and waved at the animals. They were very happy and proud of their adventure. They decided to call it Snow Lake. They slid down the hill and ran back to their house. They told their mom and dad about their discovery. They hoped that the snow would stay for a long time, so they could visit Snow Lake again. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a little zip bag. The zip bag has some snacks and juice. + +One day, they go to the park and kick the ball. They have fun and laugh. They see a dog and a cat. The dog and the cat chase the ball. Tom and Sue chase the dog and the cat. They run and run. + +They get tired and thirsty. They look for the zip bag. They can't find it. They are sad and hungry. They ask a man and a woman. The man and the woman say they don't know. They ask a boy and a girl. The boy and the girl say they don't know. + +They see a bird. The bird has the zip bag in its beak. The bird flies away. Tom and Sue shout, "Hey, bird, give us our zip bag!" + +The bird does not listen. It flies to a tree. It opens the zip bag. It eats the snacks and drinks the juice. It drops the zip bag. Tom and Sue run to the zip bag. They are too late. The zip bag is empty. The bird is full. + +Tom and Sue are very sad. They cry. They say, "We want our snacks and juice. The bird is mean. The bird is bad." + +The bird looks at them. It feels sorry. It says, "I'm sorry, Tom and Sue. I was hungry too. I did not know it was your zip bag. Here, have this." The bird gives them a feather. + +Tom and Sue look at the feather. They are not happy. They say, "We don't want a feather. We want our snacks and juice. The feather is not good. The feather is bad." + +The bird says, "But the feather is soft and pretty. You can tickle each other with it. You can make a hat with it. You can have fun with it." + +Tom and Sue think about it. They touch the feather. It is soft and pretty. They tickle each other with it. They laugh. They make a hat with it. They look funny. They have fun with it. + +They say, "Thank you, bird. The feather is good. The feather is nice. You are not mean. You are not bad. You are our friend." + +The bird smiles. It says, "You're welcome, Tom and Sue. I'm glad you like the feather.

Ben chased Lily around the trees and the swings, trying to catch her. + +"Stop, robber! Give me the candy!" Ben shouted. + +"No, cop! You can't have it! It's mine!" Lily said. + +They ran and ran until they reached the slide. Lily climbed up the ladder and slid down. Ben followed her, but he slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +Lily saw Ben crying and felt sorry for him. She ran to him and gave him a hug. She also gave him some candy from her bag. + +"I'm sorry, cop. I didn't mean to make you fall. Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked at Lily and smiled. He took the candy and ate it. He felt better. + +"It's okay, robber. I forgive you. You are a good friend. Do you want to play something else?" Ben asked. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She was excited to play with Ben again. + +"Yes, cop. Let's play something else. How about we play pirates and mermaids?" Lily suggested. + +Ben liked that idea. He and Lily got up and ran to the sandbox. They pretended to sail a ship and swim in the sea. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens of a big castle. They had a wide table made of cardboard and some plastic cups and plates. They wanted to have a feast with their toys. + +"Let's ask Mommy to provide us some wine," Sara said. "Wine is a drink that kings and queens have. It is red and sweet." + +"Okay," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. Wine is not for children. It is only for grown-ups. Mommy says it can make us sleepy and silly." + +They ran inside the house and found Mommy in the kitchen. She was making a cake for dessert. + +"Mommy, can you provide us some wine?" Sara asked. "We are having a feast in the garden. We are kings and queens." + +Mommy smiled and shook her head. "No, my dears. Wine is not for you. It is not good for your teeth and your tummy. How about some juice instead? I have some apple juice and some grape juice. They are also red and sweet." + +"Okay," Sara and Ben said. "Thank you, Mommy. Can we have some cake too?" + +"Of course," Mommy said. "But you have to eat your lunch first. And don't forget to wash your hands." + +Sara and Ben nodded and took the juice. They ran back to the garden and poured the juice into their cups. They pretended it was wine and toasted to their kingdom. They had a lot of fun with their toys and their feast. They were happy kings and queens. +Sara and Ben like to bake with Mom. Today, they are making cookies. Mom gives them a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "Mix the flour, the sugar, and the butter. Then, add the eggs and the chocolate chips." + +Sara and Ben take turns to mix the ingredients. They stir and stir until the dough is soft and sticky. They use their hands to make small balls and put them on a tray. Mom says, "Good job! Now, we have to put the tray in the oven and wait for the cookies to bake." + +Sara and Ben are hungry. They want to eat the cookies right away. But Mom says, "No, no, we have to wait. The cookies are too hot. They need to cool down first." Sara and Ben sigh. They sit on the floor and play with their toys. + +After a while, Mom says, "The cookies are ready! Come and get them!" Sara and Ben run to the kitchen. They see a plate of golden brown cookies. They smell yummy. Mom says, "You can have one each. But be careful, they are still warm." + +Sara and Ben pick a cookie and take a bite. They smile. The cookies are soft and sweet and crunchy. They say, "Thank you, Mom! These are the best cookies ever!" Mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. You helped me a lot. But we have some left. Do you want to share them with Dad and Grandma?" Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, let's share them. They will like them too." They wrap the cookies in a napkin and go to find Dad and Grandma. They are happy. They love to bake with Mom. +Lily was an obedient girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She always did what they told her and never made a fuss. One day, her mom asked her to go to her room and play with her toys while she cooked dinner. Lily said, "OK, mom, I will play in my room." + +Lily went to her room and saw her big brother's screen on his bed. He was not there, he was at school. Lily was curious about the screen. She had seen him use it to watch funny videos and play games. She wanted to try it too. She climbed on the bed and touched the screen. It lit up and made a sound. + +Lily was happy. She discovered how to turn on the screen. She saw many pictures and words on the screen. She tapped on one of them. It was a video of a cat playing with a ball of yarn. Lily liked cats. She laughed at the video. She tapped on another one. It was a game of matching colors. Lily knew her colors. She played the game and got many stars. + +Lily was having fun with the screen. She forgot about her mom and her toys. She did not hear her mom call her for dinner. She did not hear her brother come home from school. She did not hear him shout, "Hey, that's my screen! Give it back!" + +Lily looked up and saw her brother. He was angry. He grabbed the screen from her. He said, "Lily, you are naughty! You should not touch my screen without asking. You could break it or delete something. Mom, Lily took my screen!" + +Lily felt sad. She did not mean to be naughty. She did not know the screen was important. She said, "Sorry, brother, I just wanted to play. I discovered how to turn it on and watch videos and play games. They were fun." + +Her mom came to the room. She said, "Lily, I understand you were curious, but you should not take your brother's screen without permission. It is his and he needs it for school and homework. You have your own toys to play with. And you should listen to me when I call you for dinner. You are an obedient girl, right?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, mom, I am an obedient girl. I will not take brother's screen again. I will listen to you. I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, brother." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "It's OK, Lily, I forgive you. You are a good girl. But next time, ask before you touch something that is not yours. And come when I call you. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I love you, mom. I love you, brother." + +Her brother smiled. He said, "I love you too, Lily. But don't touch my screen again. Or I will tickle you." + +He tickled her and she giggled. They went to the kitchen and ate dinner together. Lily learned her lesson. She was an obedient girl. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fan on the grass. The fan is not on. It is quiet. + +"Look, a fan!" Lila says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But be careful. It might be sharp." + +They go near the fan. They touch it. It is not sharp. It is smooth. They push it. It rolls. + +"Wow, it rolls!" Lila says. "Let's roll it together." + +They roll the fan on the grass. They have fun. They laugh. + +A man comes to the park. He sees the fan. He sees Lila and Ben. + +"Hey, kids," he says. "That's my fan. I left it here by mistake. I need it for my work." + +Lila and Ben stop rolling the fan. They look at the man. They are sorry. + +"We are sorry, mister," Lila says. "We did not know it was yours. We just wanted to play with it." + +The man smiles. He is kind. + +"It's okay, kids," he says. "You can play with it for a little while. But then I have to take it. It is a special fan. It helps me make wind for movies." + +"Really?" Ben says. "That's cool. Can you show us how it works?" + +The man nods. He turns on the fan. It makes a loud noise. It blows air. It makes wind. + +Lila and Ben feel the wind. They close their eyes. They pretend they are flying. + +"Thank you, mister," they say. "You have a nice fan. And you are very kind." + +The end. +Lily liked to admire the big glass jar on the shelf. It had many shiny stones and shells inside. She wanted to touch them and see how they felt. But Mama said the jar was rare and had a special handle. She said Lily could only look, not touch. + +One day, when Mama was busy in the kitchen, Lily climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She wanted to hold the handle and shake the jar. She thought it would make a nice sound. But the jar was heavy and slippery. It slipped from her hand and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. The stones and shells rolled everywhere. + +Lily was scared and sad. She heard Mama coming and started to cry. Mama saw the mess and was angry and worried. She hugged Lily and asked her what happened. + +"I'm sorry, Mama. I wanted to admire the jar. It was rare and had a handle. But it broke. I'm sorry, Mama." + +Mama sighed and kissed Lily. She said, "I know you liked the jar, Lily. But you should have listened to me. It was not a toy. It was a gift from Grandma. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. It was very old and precious. Now it's gone." + +Lily felt very bad. She said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I didn't know. I love you, Mama. And I love Grandma. Can we fix the jar?" + +Mama shook her head and said, "No, Lily. We can't fix the jar. It's too broken. But we can still keep the stones and shells. Maybe we can make something else with them. Something that you can admire and touch. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, Mama. I would like that. Thank you, Mama. You are the best, Mama." + +Mama smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are the best, too. But next time, please ask me before you touch something that is not yours. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, Mama. I promise. I'm sorry, Mama." + +Mama said, "It's OK, Lily. I forgive you. Now let's clean up this mess and see what we can do with the stones and shells. Come on, Lily. Let's go." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big ball that bounced high. They would throw it, catch it, and kick it to each other. + +One day, they saw a frog near the pond. It was green and slimy, and it made funny noises. Lily and Ben were curious and playful, so they decided to tease the frog. They ran after it, trying to touch it with the ball. The frog was scared and tried to hide. + +"Come out, come out, froggy!" Lily shouted. "We just want to play with you!" + +"No, leave me alone!" the frog croaked. "You are mean and rude!" + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept chasing the frog, until it jumped into the pond. They followed it to the edge, but they could not see it anymore. + +"Where did it go?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe it went to the bottom," Lily said. + +They leaned over the water, looking for the frog. But they did not notice a snake that was hiding in the grass. The snake was hungry and angry, and it saw two tasty snacks. It slithered closer, ready to strike. + +Suddenly, the frog popped out of the water. It saw the snake and the twins, and it had an idea. It spit out some poison at the snake, making it hiss and back away. Then it shouted to Lily and Ben: + +"Run, run, kids! The snake is bad and dangerous! It can bite you and make you sick!" + +Lily and Ben were surprised and scared. They dropped the ball and ran back to the house. They thanked the frog for saving them, and they promised to never tease it again. + +The frog smiled and nodded. It was glad that the twins learned their lesson, and it hoped that they would be more kind and respectful to the animals in the garden. It hopped back into the pond, feeling happy and safe. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new boy. He has a blue hat and a blue bike. He looks sad. + +"Who is he?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Ben says. + +They walk to the new boy. Ben smiles and says, "Hi, I'm Ben. This is Anna. What's your name?" + +The new boy looks up and says, "I'm Leo. I'm new here. I don't have any friends." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for Leo. They say, "You can be our friend. We like to play in the park. Do you want to play with us?" + +Leo nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, please. That would be nice." + +They play with Leo's bike and their ball. They have fun. They laugh and run. They give Leo a rub on his back. They say, "You're a good friend, Leo. We're happy you're here." + +Leo feels happy too. He says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You're good friends too. I'm happy I met you." +Tom and Anna went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals, but they also wanted to play. + +"Mom, can we go to the playground?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but first let's have some lunch. I'm hungry, are you?" Mom said. + +"Yes, we are hungry too," Anna said. + +They went to the cafe and looked at the menu. There were many things to eat, like sandwiches, salads, and pizza. Mom asked the staff what they recommend. + +"The pizza is very good, and it's big enough to share. You can choose your toppings, like cheese, ham, or pineapple," the staff said. + +"Okay, let's have pizza then. What toppings do you want, Tom and Anna?" Mom said. + +"I want cheese and ham," Tom said. + +"I want cheese and pineapple," Anna said. + +Mom ordered the pizza and they waited for it to come. They drank some juice and talked about the animals they saw. + +The pizza came and it smelled good. They ate it and it was yummy. They thanked the staff and left some money. + +"Mom, that was a good lunch. The staff was nice and the pizza was hard to finish," Tom said. + +"Yes, it was. I'm glad you liked it. The staff worked hard to make it for us," Mom said. + +"Now can we go to the playground?" Anna said. + +"Sure, let's go. But remember to be careful and have fun," Mom said. + +They went to the playground and played on the swings, the slide, and the seesaw. They had fun and made some new friends. They had a great day at the zoo. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden when they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked at the sky and saw dark clouds and flashes of light. They were scared. + +"Let's go inside, Tom!" Lily said. "I don't like thunder. It makes me cry." + +Tom nodded and grabbed Lily's hand. They ran towards the house, but they saw a big puddle on the way. They tried to jump over it, but they slipped and fell. They got filthy with mud and water. + +They got up and kept running, but they heard another loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. He was barking and growling at them. He did not recognize them because they were filthy. He thought they were strangers. + +"Rex, it's us! Tom and Lily!" Tom shouted. "Don't be angry. We are your friends." + +But Rex did not listen. He ran towards them, showing his teeth. Tom and Lily panicked. They screamed and ran faster. They reached the door and opened it. They slammed it behind them, just in time.
