One day, she noticed something strange in her dad's room. He had built a workbench and he was always tinkering with it - it seemed he was making something special. 
+
+Molly asked her dad to show her what he was doing, but he said it was still a surprise and he couldn't show her yet. Molly was really excited - she couldn't wait to see what was in the works!
+
+A few weeks passed, and one day Molly's dad finally called her into the room. He had made something crazy - a giant, lifelike robot! Molly was amazed as she watched it walk around - it even talked to her and told jokes! It was one of the best surprises Molly had ever seen!
+
+That was the first time Molly saw her dad's work, but it was far from the last time. After that, she seemed to notice the amazing things he could do with his hands everywhere she looked. 
+
+Molly learned to appreciate the hard work that went into the projects her dad did, and she learned to never give up on her dreams, no matter how crazy they might seem.
+Once upon a time, there lived a patient owl. He lived in a small tree in the middle of a big forest. Every day, he would look for food.
+
+Suddenly, he saw a funny looking animal. The owl was curious and wanted to know what the animal was. He flew closer and asked the animal what his name was.
+
+The animal explained that he was a squirrel. The owl was so excited about his new friend that he asked the squirrel to tell him about his home in the tree.
+
+The squirrel patiently explained that his home in the tree was full of yummy acorns. The owl thought this sounded delicious and wanted to learn even more. He asked the squirrel to show him which trees had the best acorns.
+
+The squirrel happily agreed and explained to the owl that the trees that had the biggest and roundest acorns were always the best.
+
+The owl thanked the squirrel and went off to find the perfect tree. From then on, the owl always had plenty of food and he was very happy.
+Once upon a time, there was a wise bear. Every day at noon he would go for a walk in the forest. He liked to look for new things and think about the world.
+
+Today he was feeling especially nosy, so he went a bit further than normal. He stumbled across a room filled with toys. He laughed and played with all the colorful things. He decided it would be fun to take some of the toys and share them with his friends.
+
+So, he stopped to take a few of the toys. As soon as he started to pick them up, a bright light filled the room. A magical door opened and he went inside.
+
+Inside was a great castle. The king and queen were there. They gave the wise bear a special reward for being so brave. They gave him a hat that could make his wishes come true.
+
+The bear was so happy. He thanked the king and queen, bid them farewell, and went off to show his friends his new hat. He wore the hat every noon and shared his wishes with the world.
+Once upon a time there was a young boy named Joe. He liked to do big things and have big adventures. One day Joe was in the park playing with his friends. He saw a big mug sitting on the grass and he wanted to take it home with him. 
+
+Joe's mom saw him and said, "No Joe, it's not yours. That mug belongs to someone else." Joe didn't want to listen. He wanted the mug very badly.
+
+Joe's mom told him he had to pause and think. She said, "We all need to be kind to one another. Can you imagine how someone else might feel if they lost their mug?"
+
+Joe stopped and thought about it. He suddenly realized how sad he would feel if he lost his own things. He put the mug back on the grass and went back to playing with his friends.
+
+Joe learned an important lesson that day - always think about how others might feel. Being kind and considerate is the right thing to do.
+Once there was an old Grandpa who had a boat. He wanted it to be beautiful, so he worked hard to improve it. Every day he would fix it with glue. Grandpa even found some old wood and painted it to make it look new again.
+
+Soon the boat was as good as new. When it was finished, Grandpa decided to take it out for a ride. As soon as he sat down in the boat, he noticed something he hadn't seen before. His boat was now so much brighter and shinier than before.
+
+Grandpa smiled, happy with his hard work. He knew that by putting in the effort to improve his boat, his efforts had paid off. Grandpa was so pleased, he decided to invite all his friends to go for a ride with him.
+
+Grandpa's story is a reminder that if you put in the hard work to improve things, it can be worth it in the end.
+Once upon a time there was a boy named Rory. Rory was very clever, and loved to use his imagination. One day he was playing in his backyard when he spotted a large pipe lying in the grass. He walked over to it and said, "I wonder what this is!"
+
+Just then, his dad appeared at the patio door. "That's a pipe," he said.
+
+Rory was very excited. He said, "Dad, can I try to play with it?"
+
+His dad smiled and said, "Sure, go ahead. Let's see what you can do with it."
+
+Rory squatted down and started to guess what to do. He tapped the pipe with his hands, and then with a stick he found nearby. He even put his ear to it and listened carefully.
+
+Suddenly, the pipe made a honking noise.
+
+"Haha!" laughed Rory. "I guessed it right!"
+
+His dad was very proud of him. He said, "That was very clever, Rory! You must have a special way of thinking."
+
+Rory smiled, and then put the pipe in his pocket. He had a new toy to play with!
+Once upon a time, two friends wanted to create something fun together. The two were so creative that they wanted to make an object even better than anything else. They wanted to be competitive and make something better than the other had created. 
+
+The friends put their ideas together and started to create something very special. They took a long time to make sure it was just perfect. The friends were so excited and as soon as it was finished both of them wanted to try it out first.
+
+After much debate, the friends decided that the only way to decide who should go first was to have a competition. The competition was decided to see who would be the one to go first. 
+
+The competition was exciting, but in the end one of the friends was victorious and earned the right to go first. The other friend felt a bit disheartened, but was excited to see what the first one thought of the object.
+
+The first friend was absolutely amazed by the object. They took it for a test drive and it worked perfectly. The friends were so proud of their work that they celebrated and decided that nothing could be better than the object they had created.
+One day, two adorable friends, Jo and Kim, were going for a fun walk near their home. As they walked, they speculated about what wonderful things they would find. They were filled with anticipation and excitement! 
+
+Suddenly, there was a big loud noise and a horrible smell in the air. Jo and Kim stopped and looked up in confusion. It was a monster! It had huge claws and sharp teeth and a terrible roar. They were so scared that they shuddered.
+
+But then, the monster began to laugh. It found the two friends to be quite amusing. It wanted to take them away and make them part of its collection. Jo and Kim wanted to run away, but the monster was too fast.
+
+In the end, the monster took them away despite their protests. The two friends tried to stay brave, but Jo eventually could not help but to cry. He held Kim's hand tight and they shuddered one last time before being taken away by the monster. It was clear that the fun was over, and that their adventure had come to a bad end.
+Joey was painting on some paper and it was so much fun. He used his very favorite colors and made a beautiful picture. He liked it so much he wanted to hang it up too.
+
+Mommy was watching Joey, and she said, "Joey, that painting is so beautiful! Let's buy a frame for it and hang it in your room."
+
+Joey was so excited! He hopped around and shouted, "Yes! Yes! Let's buy a frame!"
+
+So, Mommy and Joey went to the store and bought a beautiful frame. They brought it home and hung the painting in Joey's room. 
+
+Joey was so proud of his beautiful painting in the frame. He smiled and said, "Mommy, it looks so good!"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "You really did a great job, Joey. I'm so proud of you."
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Charlie. He was three years old and loved playing with his toys. One day, Charlie found a magical printing machine. He was so excited to see what it could do and pressed the big, red button. The machine started printing arrows all over the room. 
+
+"Wow!" Charlie said happily. He ran around the room and inspected all the arrows, but he was getting a bit confused. "Where do I put them?" he asked out loud.
+
+Just then, a voice replied. "Let me help you!" 
+
+Charlie spun around and saw a magical fairy. She floated down from the ceiling and waved her sparkly wand in circles. With each wave, the arrows started flying into piles.
+
+Charlie laughed in amazement. With one last wave of her wand, the arrows were neatly stacked and all the toys were back in their original places. 
+
+"It looks much neater now!" Charlie said in amazement. The fairy winked and flew away, leaving the room nice, neat, and not at all messy.
+Once, there was a flea. The flea was on the back of a cat, and the cat was walking around the garden. The flea looked around and saw the incredible things in the garden.
+
+The flea saw a bee buzzing around a flower, a caterpillar eating a leaf, and a bird chirping in a tree. The flea thought, "This garden is incredible!"
+
+Suddenly, the cat stopped walking and said, "What are you thinking about, little flea?"
+
+The flea replied, "I'm thinking about this garden. It's so incredible!"
+
+The cat smiled and said, "Yes, it is. We should enjoy it more often."
+
+The flea and the cat enjoyed the garden together for the rest of the afternoon. The flea thought to itself how lucky it was to have such an incredible garden.

+
+But suddenly, he saw a scary storm coming. Jay was scared. He did not want to fly with a storm because it was dangerous. He decided to go home and wait until the storm passed. 
+
+When the storm was gone, Jay drove back to the airport with his plane. He filled up the car with fuel and got ready to go. 
+
+This time, Jay was not scared. He jumped into his plane and took off. He felt like he could fly and see the whole world!

+Once upon a time, there was a new ranch. It was the home of a small family of three, Mary, Tom and their son Pete. Mary and Tom enjoyed their new home, spending lots of time together playing, exploring and taking care of the animals. 
+
+One day, Pete was playing on the ranch and came across a new and shiny toy. He took the shiny toy and enjoyed playing with it. But soon, the toy began to cause trouble. Pete was laughing so hard from playing with the toy that he knocked over the fence on the ranch. 
+
+Mary and Tom were so mad. They told Pete he did a bad thing and shouldn't have taken the toy in the first place. They explained to him that things that look too good to be true, often are. 
+
+Pete was so sad and embarrassed. He learned his lesson and Mary, Tom and Pete all had to work hard to repair the damage he caused. 
+
+The moral of the story is to always think before you act, as bad decisions can have bad consequences.

+
+Lucy smiled, and she and her mum went home.
+Lily liked to gather things. She gathered leaves, flowers, rocks, and shells. She put them in a big box in her room. She liked to look at them and make images with them. She made images of animals, houses, and stars.
+
+One day, Lily was restless. She did not want to play with her toys or read her books. She wanted to do something new. She asked her mom if she could go outside. Her mom said yes, but she had to stay in the yard.
+
+Lily went outside and saw a big pile of snow. She had an idea. She ran to her box and took some of her things. She gathered some snow and made a ball. She put a rock for the eye, a leaf for the nose, and a flower for the mouth. She made another ball and put a shell for the ear, a stick for the arm, and a feather for the hand. She made a third ball and put a pine cone for the hat, a button for the button, and a string for the scarf.
+
+She looked at her snowman and smiled. She had made a new image with her things. She was not restless anymore. She was happy. She ran to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I made a snowman!" Her mom looked at her snowman and said, "Wow, Lily, you are very creative. I love your snowman." Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+Lily and Tom were happy. It was their birthday. They had cake and balloons and presents. They wanted to celebrate with their friends.
+
+They invited Anna and Ben to their house. Anna and Ben came with their own presents. They said hello and gave hugs. They put the presents on the table.
+
+Lily and Tom showed them their new lamp. It was big and shiny and colorful. It had stars and moons on it. They said it was their favorite present.
+
+Anna and Ben liked the lamp too. They wanted to see how it worked. They asked Lily and Tom if they could touch it.
+
+Lily and Tom said no. They said it was their lamp and they did not want to share it. They said it was too special and fragile.
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad and angry. They said Lily and Tom were not nice. They said they did not want to be their friends anymore.
+
+They grabbed the lamp and ran away. Lily and Tom chased them. They shouted and cried. They wanted their lamp back.
+
+They ran into the living room. They bumped into the sofa. The lamp fell on the floor. It broke into pieces. It made a loud noise.
+
+Lily and Tom and Anna and Ben stopped. They looked at the broken lamp. They felt sorry and scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+They heard their mom and dad coming. They were worried. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had shared the lamp. They wished they had celebrated nicely.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big fly. The fly is black and has red eyes. It buzzes near the flowers.
+
+"Look, a fly!" Ben says. He runs to catch it.
+
+"No, Ben, don't!" Mia says. She is scared of the fly. She thinks it is fierce. She thinks it can bite or sting.
+
+Ben does not listen. He tries to grab the fly with his hand. But the fly is fast. It flies away from Ben. It flies to Mia.
+
+"Help, help!" Mia cries. She waves her arms. She does not want the fly to touch her.
+
+Ben sees Mia is in trouble. He feels sorry. He wants to help her. He picks up a stick. He swings it at the fly. He hits the fly. The fly falls to the ground.
+
+"Are you okay, Mia?" Ben asks. He hugs Mia.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Ben," Mia says. She hugs Ben back. She is happy Ben saved her from the fly.
+
+They look at the fly. It does not move. It is dead.
+
+"Sorry, fly," Ben says. He is sad he killed the fly. He thinks the fly was not so fierce. He thinks the fly just wanted to play.
+
+"Let's bury the fly," Mia says. She is kind to the fly. She thinks the fly had a family.
+
+They dig a hole with the stick. They put the fly in the hole. They cover it with dirt. They say goodbye to the fly.
+
+They go back to playing. They see a butterfly. The butterfly is colorful and has wings. It flutters near the trees.
+
+"Look, a butterfly!" Mia says. She runs to see it.
+
+"Wait for me, Mia!" Ben says. He runs after her.
+
+They do not catch the butterfly. They just watch it. They think it is beautiful. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun with their cars, dolls and blocks. But then they hear a loud noise from the kitchen. They wonder what it is.
+
+They go to the kitchen and see a big, hairy man. He is holding a bag full of cookies and fruits. He is a thief! He is stealing their snacks!
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tim shouts. "Those are ours!"
+
+The thief looks at them and grins. He says, "Too bad, kids. I'm hungry and I like cookies and fruits. You can't stop me."
+
+Mia is scared, but she is also brave. She has a question for the thief. She says, "Why are you so hairy? Do you have a lot of hair all over your body?"
+
+The thief is surprised by the question. He says, "What? What kind of question is that? Of course I have a lot of hair. I'm a bear!"
+
+Tim and Mia gasp. They didn't know he was a bear. They thought he was a man. They are more scared now. They run back to the living room and hide behind the sofa.
+
+The bear follows them and says, "Don't be afraid, kids. I'm not going to hurt you. I just want some snacks. Can I have some, please?"
+
+Tim and Mia look at each other. They don't want to share their snacks with the bear. But they also don't want to make him angry. They decide to give him some cookies and fruits, but not all of them.
+
+They say, "OK, Mr. Bear. You can have some snacks, but not all of them. You have to leave some for us. And you have to promise not to come back and steal again."
+
+The bear nods and says, "OK, OK. I promise. Thank you, kids. You are very nice. And sorry for scaring you. I'm not a bad bear. I'm just a hungry bear."
+
+He takes some cookies and fruits from his bag and gives them back to Tim and Mia. Then he leaves the kitchen and goes out the door.
+
+Tim and Mia are relieved. They hug each other and say, "Wow, that was scary. But we did it. We stopped the thief. And we learned something new. He was a bear!"
+
+They go back to their toys and play happily. They still have some snacks left. They decide to save them for later. They don't want to meet another hungry bear.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. They always wanted the same toy and fought over it.
+
+One day, it was their birthday. They were four years old. Mom and Dad gave them a big cake and many presents. Lily and Ben were happy, but they still wanted the same things.
+
+"Look, I got a new doll!" Lily said. "She has a pink dress and a bow. She is perfect!"
+
+"I want the doll too!" Ben said. "Give it to me!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "You have a car. Play with your car!"
+
+"But I like the doll more!" Ben said. "The car is boring. Give me the doll!"
+
+They started to pull the doll and yell. Mom and Dad were sad. They did not like to see their children fight.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Mom said. "Why are you fighting? You have so many toys. You should be happy and share."
+
+"But I want the doll!" Ben said.
+
+"But I want the doll!" Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She had an idea. She took the doll and the car and put them on the table.
+
+"Listen, children," she said. "I have a game for you. You can choose one toy, but you have to give it to the other. If you do that, you will get a surprise. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were curious. They wanted the surprise.
+
+"Okay, we will try," they said.
+
+Lily picked the car and gave it to Ben. Ben picked the doll and gave it to Lily. They said thank you and smiled.
+
+Mom and Dad clapped. They were proud of their children.
+
+"Good job, children!" Dad said. "You are very kind and generous. You have learned to share. That is the surprise. Sharing makes you happy and makes others happy too. Do you like the surprise?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged Mom and Dad.
+
+"Yes, we like the surprise!" they said. "We are sorry for fighting. We love each other. We love you too. This is the best birthday ever!"
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them back.
+
+"We love you too, children," they said. "You have made this day perfect."
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill with a hole. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's go to the cave!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, but we need a light," Lila says.
+
+They bring a flashlight and a rope. They hold hands and walk to the hole. They shine the flashlight and see a dark tunnel.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Tom says.
+
+They tie the rope to a tree and go into the tunnel. They see rocks and bugs and bats. They hear a drip-drip sound. They feel cold and wet.
+
+"Are you scared?" Lila asks.
+
+"A little bit," Tom says.
+
+"Me too," Lila says.
+
+They hug each other and keep walking. They hope to find something fun or nice in the cave.
+
+Soon, they see a bright spot at the end of the tunnel. They run to it and see a big room with a pool of water. The water is blue and clear. The sun is shining through a hole in the ceiling. They see fish and frogs and flowers.
+
+"Wow, this is beautiful!" Lila says.
+
+They drop the flashlight and the rope and jump into the water. They splash and laugh and swim. They feel warm and happy.
+
+"This is the best cave ever!" Tom says.
+
+They play for a long time. Then they hear a voice.
+
+"Lila! Tom! Where are you?" It is Lila's mom. She is looking for them.
+
+They get out of the water and dry themselves. They pick up the flashlight and the rope. They shout back.
+
+"Mom! We are here! In the cave!"
+
+They run to the tunnel and see Lila's mom. She is worried and angry.
+
+"What are you doing here? This is dangerous! You could get lost or hurt!" She says.
+
+She hugs them and scolds them. She takes them out of the cave and back to the park.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lila says.
+
+"Me too," Tom says.
+
+They look at each other and smile. They know they did something wrong, but they also had fun. They think the cave is fair. It is scary and dark, but also cool and beautiful. They hope to go back someday.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and run in the park. But one day, they see a big dog. The dog is angry and barks loud. Tom and Sue are scared and run away.
+
+They run to a house. The house has a fence and a gate. Tom and Sue think the house is safe. They open the gate and go inside. But they do not know that the house is not a good house. The house is a jail. The jail has bad people who do bad things.
+
+The bad people see Tom and Sue. They are not happy. They say, "Who are you? Why are you here? You are foolish kids. You should not come to the jail. We hate kids. We will lock you up and make you cry."
+
+Tom and Sue are very sad and sorry. They wish they did not go to the jail. They wish they stayed away from the big dog. They wish they could go back to their toys and the park. They hope someone will come and help them. They hope the bad people will not hurt them. They hope they will be friends again.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. Tom was very good at lifting the blocks and stacking them high. Lily was good at making shapes and patterns with the blocks.
+
+"Look at my tower, Lily!" Tom said. "It is taller than you!"
+
+Lily looked at Tom's tower and felt upset. She wanted to have a tall tower too, but she could not lift the blocks as well as Tom. She thought Tom was being mean and showing off.
+
+"I don't like your tower, Tom!" Lily said. "It is ugly and boring!"
+
+Tom was angry when he heard Lily's words. He loved his tower and he worked hard to make it. He thought Lily was being rude and jealous.
+
+"You are a bad sister, Lily!" Tom said. "You are a threat to my tower!"
+
+Tom pushed Lily away from his tower and made her fall on the floor. Lily cried out in pain and fear. She felt a bump on her head and a tear on her dress.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Tom's tower, Lily's cry, and the mess on the floor. She was very mad at Tom and very sad for Lily.
+
+"Tom, what have you done?" Mom said. "You hurt your sister and you made a mess! You are in big trouble, mister!"
+
+Mom picked up Lily and hugged her. She took her to the bathroom to clean her wound and change her dress. She told Tom to stay in the living room and think about what he did.
+
+Tom felt alone and scared. He looked at his tower and felt no joy. He wished he had not pushed Lily and made her upset. He wished he had shared his blocks and played nicely with her. He wished Mom was not mad at him and Lily was not hurt by him. He wished he could say sorry and make things better. But it was too late. He had ruined everything. He had no one to play with and no one to love him. He had a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they find a pair of sunglasses on the ground. They are big and blue and shiny.

+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says. "Let me see them, Anna."
+
+Anna puts the sunglasses on her face. They are too big for her. They slide down her nose. She laughs.

+"Ha ha, you look funny, Anna!" Ben says. "Like a bug with big eyes."
+
+Anna takes the sunglasses off and gives them to Ben. Ben puts them on his face. They are too big for him too. They cover his eyes. He can't see.
+
+"Oops, I can't see anything, Anna!" Ben says. "Where are you?"
+
+"I'm here, Ben!" Anna says. She taps his shoulder. He turns around. She laughs.
+
+"Ha ha, you look funny too, Ben!" Anna says. "Like a pirate with a patch."
+
+They take turns wearing the sunglasses and making funny faces. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the time.
+
+"Anna, Ben, time to go home!" a voice calls. It is Anna's mom. She is waiting for them at the gate.
+
+"OK, mom, we're coming!" Anna says. She and Ben run to the gate. They still have the sunglasses in their hands.
+
+"Whose sunglasses are these?" Anna's mom asks. "They are very original."
+
+"We don't know, mom," Anna says. "We found them on the ground. Can we keep them?"
+
+Anna's mom looks at the sunglasses. She sees a name on the side. It says "Sam".
+
+"These sunglasses belong to someone, Anna," she says. "They have a name on them. See? It says 'Sam'. We have to give them back to Sam."
+
+"Who is Sam?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know, Anna," her mom says. "But maybe we can find out. Come on, let's go ask around."
+
+Anna and Ben follow Anna's mom. They hope to find Sam and return his original sunglasses. They wonder if Sam will be happy to see them. They wonder if Sam will be their friend too.

+
+They get to the park. They see a big hill. Lila says, "Let's go up the hill. It will be fun." Tom says, "Are you sure? It looks steep." Lila says, "Don't be scared. I will lead you."
+
+They pedal hard. They go up the hill. They feel the wind in their hair. They reach the top. They see the whole park. They see the swings and the slide and the pond. They see the sun and the clouds and the birds. They smile.

+One day, they have a plan. They want to make a dish for mom and dad. They look for things to put in the dish. They find some cheese, some bread, some apples and some jam.
+
+They cut the cheese and the bread with a plastic knife. They slice the apples with a wooden spoon. They spread the jam with a spatula. They put everything in a big bowl. They mix and mash and stir.
+
+They are very happy with their dish. They put it on a bright plate. They cover it with a napkin. They carry it to the living room. They call mom and dad.
+

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "You can go with me."
+
+"No, no, no, it is too high!" Ben says. "I do not like high things. They make me feel sick."
+
+Anna tries to make Ben feel better. She says, "Look, Ben, it is not so high. See, there are steps. You can go up the steps and then slide down. It is easy. And I will be with you. We can hold hands."
+
+Ben looks at the slide. He looks at the steps. He looks at Anna. He thinks for a moment. Then he says, "OK, Anna, I will try. But you have to go first."
+
+Anna is glad. She says, "OK, Ben, I will go first. You follow me. And do not let go of my hand."
+
+Anna and Ben go up the steps. They hold hands. They reach the top of the slide. Anna says, "Ready, Ben?"
+
+Ben says, "Ready, Anna."
+
+They slide down together. They go fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh. They have fun.
+
+They reach the bottom of the slide. They let go of their hands. They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"That was fun, Anna!" Ben says. "Thank you for helping me. I am not scared anymore."
+
+"I am glad, Ben!" Anna says. "You are brave. Do you want to go again?"
+
+"Yes, Anna, I do!" Ben says.
+
+They run back to the steps. They go on the slide again. And again. And again.
+
+They do not see the big dog that is coming to the park. The big dog likes to chase things. The big dog sees Anna and Ben. The big dog runs to them. The big dog barks. The big dog jumps.

+
+Ben goes to Anna. He says, "Are you OK, Anna?"

+
+Ben says, "Oh, Anna, I am sorry. I will get help. I will find a grown-up. You stay here. Do not move."
+
+Ben runs to find a grown-up. He sees a lady. He says, "Help, help, lady! My friend Anna is hurt. A big dog bit her leg. She needs help. Please come with me."
+
+The lady says, "Oh, no, poor Anna. I will come with you. Show me where she is."
+
+Ben shows the lady where Anna is. The lady sees Anna. She says, "Oh, Anna, you are hurt. I will help you. I have a band-aid. I will put it on your leg. It will make you feel better."
+
+The lady puts a band-aid on Anna's leg. She says, "There, Anna, that is better. How do you feel?"
+
+Anna says, "I feel a little better. Thank you, lady. You are nice."
+
+The lady says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are brave. And so is Ben. He saved you from the big dog. He is a good friend."

+Anna and Ben hug. They are glad. They are friends. They are heroes.
+One day, a clumsy crocodile was walking by the river. He saw a big box with a ribbon on it. He was curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+He tried to open the box with his teeth, but he could not. He tried to open the box with his claws, but he could not. He tried to open the box with his tail, but he could not. He was frustrated and angry.
+
+He saw a monkey sitting on a tree. He asked the monkey, "How do I open this box?"
+
+The monkey smiled and said, "You have to pull the ribbon. Then the box will open."
+
+The crocodile did not believe the monkey. He thought the monkey was lying. He said, "No, you are trying to trick me. There is nothing in the box. You just want to laugh at me."
+
+The monkey said, "No, I am telling the truth. There is a surprise in the box. You will like it. Trust me."
+
+The crocodile was still doubtful, but he was also curious. He decided to try the monkey's advice. He pulled the ribbon with his teeth. The box opened.
+
+Inside the box, there was a big cake with candles on it. The cake had the words, "Happy Birthday, Crocodile!" written on it. The crocodile was surprised and happy. He did not know it was his birthday.
+
+The monkey said, "Surprise! I made this cake for you. You are my friend. Happy birthday, Crocodile!"
+
+The crocodile smiled and said, "Thank you, Monkey. You are my friend too. I am sorry I did not trust you. You are very kind and smart."
+
+The monkey and the crocodile hugged and shared the cake. They had a fun and sweet birthday party. The crocodile learned to be more open and less clumsy.
+Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play at the park every day. They liked to swing, climb and run. But their favorite thing was to slide.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their moms. They ran to the big slide and waited for their turn. Lila went first. She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed as she reached the bottom.
+
+"Your turn, Sam!" she shouted.
+
+Sam nodded and climbed up the ladder. He was a little scared of the big slide, but he wanted to be brave like Lila. He sat on the slide and held on to the sides. He looked down and saw Lila smiling at him.
+
+"Come on, Sam, you can do it!" she cheered.
+
+Sam took a deep breath and let go of the sides. He slid down the slide, faster and faster. He felt a thrill in his tummy and a smile on his lips. He was having fun!
+
+But then, something bad happened. Sam's leg got stuck on the edge of the slide. He felt a sharp pain and a loud tear. He cried out and stopped sliding.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed.
+
+Lila heard Sam's cry and ran to him. She saw his leg bleeding and his pants ripped. She felt sorry for him and scared for him.
+
+"Sam, are you okay?" she asked.
+
+Sam shook his head and sobbed. He couldn't move his leg and it hurt a lot.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" Lila yelled.
+
+Their moms heard Lila's yell and rushed to them. They saw Sam's leg and gasped. They hugged him and comforted him.
+
+"Don't worry, Sam, we'll take you to the doctor. He'll fix your leg and make you feel better," Sam's mom said.
+
+Lila's mom nodded and said, "Lila, you're a good friend. You can come with us to the doctor and stay with Sam."
+
+Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I want to stay with Sam. He's my best friend."
+
+They helped Sam get up and carried him to the car. They drove to the doctor and waited for him to see Sam. Lila held Sam's hand and told him stories to make him laugh. Sam felt a little better and thanked Lila for being with him.
+
+The doctor came and looked at Sam's leg. He said it was a bad cut, but not a broken bone. He cleaned it and put a bandage on it. He gave Sam a sticker and a lollipop. He told Sam to rest his leg and not to slide for a while.
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Okay, doctor. Thank you for helping me."
+
+The doctor smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sam. You're a brave boy. And you have a great friend in Lila."
+
+Lila and Sam hugged and said, "We're best friends."
+
+They went back to the car and drove home. They were tired and sore, but happy. They decided to play something else tomorrow. Maybe they would swing, climb or run. But they would not slide. Not until Sam's leg was better. And then, they would slide again. Together.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big hose that was used to water the flowers. Lily had an idea.
+
+"Let's play with the hose!" she said to Ben. "We can make it squirt and splash!"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked water. He followed Lily to the hose. Lily turned the knob and the water came out. She pointed the hose at Ben and made him wet. Ben giggled and tried to grab the hose. They had a jolly time.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She was not happy.
+
+"Quit that right now!" she shouted. "You are making a mess and wasting water! Come inside and get dry!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped playing. They looked at each other. They were very wet. They had not seen Mom coming. They knew they were in trouble.

+
+"Mom, mom, there is a dragon outside!" he cried. "It is big and loud and scary!"
+
+Mom hugged him and smiled. She took him to the window and showed him the truck. She explained that the truck was not a dragon, but a machine that helped people build things. She said the truck was making noise because it was working hard, but it would not hurt him or his toys.
+
+Ben felt better. He understood that the truck was not a dragon. He was not worried anymore. He thanked his mom and went back to his room. He took out his shield and sword and his teddy bear and his blanket. He decided to play a new game. He pretended that he was a knight who helped the truck build a castle. He had a lot of fun.

+
+"Wow, that's impressive, Tom!" Mia said. She wanted the coin. She looked in her hand. She had a pointy stick. She had an idea. "Do you want to trade, Tom? I have a stick. It's very pointy. You can poke things with it."

+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He looked sad and lonely. He had no toys and no friends. Ben and Lily felt sorry for him.
+
+"Let's go and talk to him," Ben said. "Maybe he wants to buy something from our cart."
+
+"Or maybe he wants to play with us," Lily said. "We have enough toys for everyone."
+
+They pushed their cart to the new boy and smiled. "Hi, we are Ben and Lily," Ben said. "What is your name?"

+
+One day, they found a rare boat in the pond. It was big and shiny, and had a red flag on top. They wondered who left it there, and how it got there. They wanted to play with it, but they were afraid it might belong to someone else.

+
+The man laughed and said, "I made it myself. It's a model of a real boat that I used to sail on. I came to the pond to test it, but I forgot to take it with me when I left. I'm glad you found it and didn't break it."
+
+Ben and Mia felt shy and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, sir. We didn't mean to touch your boat. We just wanted to look at it. It's very rare and pretty."
+
+The man smiled again and said, "That's all right, children. I don't mind if you play with it, as long as you're careful and return it to me when you're done. Would you like to try it?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, sir. You're very kind."

+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom shouts. He runs after the dog, but the dog is too fast. Anna follows Tom and tries to help.
+
+"Give us back our ball, please!" Anna says. She waves her arms and makes noises. The dog stops and looks at them. He drops the ball and barks.
+
+Tom and Anna are happy to get their ball back. But they are sad to see their goal broken. The sticks are snapped and the cans are dented.
+
+"Don't worry, we can repair it," Tom says. He picks up the sticks and tries to put them together. Anna finds some string and ties the sticks. They put the cans back on top.
+
+"There, it's fixed!" Anna says. She smiles and gives Tom a high-five.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big yellow tire by the fence. They wanted to roll it and have fun.
+
+"Let's roll the tire, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The tire is heavy and fast," Ben said.
+
+They pushed the tire and it started to roll. They ran after it, laughing and shouting. The tire rolled faster and faster. It went out of the yard and into the street.
+
+"Oh no, the tire is in the street! There are cars and trucks there. It is dangerous!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's get the tire back, Lily. We have to be quick and safe," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the street and looked for the tire. They saw it rolling towards a big truck. The truck driver saw the tire too. He honked his horn and tried to stop. But the tire was too fast. It hit the truck and bounced back. It flew in the air and landed on a house. The house had a chimney. The tire fell into the chimney and made a loud noise.
+
+"Wow, that was scary and loud!" Lily said.
+
+"Look, the tire is in the chimney. How will we get it out?" Ben said.
+
+They heard a voice from the house. It was an old lady. She was cooking in the kitchen. She smelled smoke and heard the noise. She came out of the house and saw the tire in the chimney.
+
+"Who put this tire in my chimney? It made a mess and ruined my cooking!" the old lady said.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They went to the old lady and said sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, ma'am. We were playing with the tire and it rolled away. We did not mean to put it in your chimney," Lily said.
+
+"We are sorry, ma'am. We will help you clean the mess and fix your cooking," Ben said.
+
+The old lady was angry at first. But she saw that Lily and Ben were honest and kind. She forgave them and let them help her.
+
+"Thank you, children. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, be more careful with your toys and don't play in the street. It is not safe," the old lady said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and thanked the old lady. They learned a lesson. They went back to their yard and played with other toys. They did not play with the tire anymore. They left it in the chimney. It was too big and too fast.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came. The big dog was loud and mean. He barked and chased them.
+
+One day, they saw the big dog again. He was near the slide. Tom and Lily were frightened. They wanted to go away. But the big dog saw them and ran towards them.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. They ran to the fence. But the fence was too high. They could not climb over it.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" a voice said. It was Sam, the dog's owner. He came and grabbed the dog's collar. He was wearing pants and a hat. He looked angry.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad dog!" he said. He warned the dog. "You are not supposed to chase children. You are supposed to be nice. Now sit and stay."
+
+He turned to Tom and Lily. He said sorry. He said the dog was not bad, just playful. He said he would keep the dog on a leash.
+
+Tom and Lily were still frightened. They said thank you. They said they did not like the dog. They said they wanted to go home.
+
+Sam said okay. He said he hoped they would not be scared of the dog anymore. He said he would teach the dog to be gentle.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said they were brave. She said they should always be careful of strange dogs. She said they should always wear pants in the park.
+Anna and Ben like to play with trains. They have many trains and tracks. They can make a big network of tracks on the floor. They can set the trains on the tracks and make them go.
+
+One day, they want to make a perfect network. They use all their tracks and trains. They make loops and bridges and tunnels. They make a station and a farm and a town. They are very happy.
+
+"Look at our network!" Anna says. "It is perfect!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "Let's set the trains and watch them go!"
+
+They set the trains on the tracks and turn them on. The trains go fast and slow. They go over the bridges and under the tunnels. They stop at the station and the farm and the town. Anna and Ben clap and cheer.

+
+Tom sees a big circle on the wall. It is a clock. It has two hands and numbers. Tom wants to know what it is. He asks Lily, "What is that circle?"
+
+Lily looks at the clock. She knows what it is. She learned it from her mom. She says, "That is a clock. It tells time. Time is when things happen. Like when we eat or sleep or play."
+
+Tom does not understand. He says, "Time? What is time?" He stares at the clock. He wants to touch it. He thinks it is a toy.
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom, do not touch it. It is not a toy. It is important. Mom will be mad if you break it. Come back and play with me."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the clock. He pulls it hard. The clock falls off the wall. It makes a loud noise. It breaks into pieces. The hands and numbers are gone.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They hear mom coming. She is angry. She sees the broken clock. She sees Tom and Lily. She says, "What did you do? You are very naughty. You broke the clock. You have to go to your room. No more playing. No more blocks. I am very sad."
+
+Tom and Lily cry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to break the clock. We just wanted to know what it is. Please do not be sad. Please do not be mad."
+
+But mom does not listen. She takes them to their room. She closes the door. She leaves them alone. Tom and Lily are sad. They hug each other. They wish they did not touch the clock. They wish they played with their blocks. They wish mom was happy.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with bikes. Sara has a new bike. It is pink and shiny. Ben has an old bike. It is blue and rusty.
+
+"Look at my new bike!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I try it?" Ben asks.
+
+"OK, but you have to wear a helmet," Sara says. "My mom says helmets are safe."
+
+Ben does not like helmets. He thinks they are ugly and hot. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, I don't want a helmet," he says. "I am not a baby."
+
+Sara is sad. She wants to share her bike, but she does not want Ben to get hurt.
+
+"Please, Ben, wear a helmet," she says. "It is not a big deal."
+
+Ben is stubborn. He does not listen to Sara. He does not accept her helmet. He takes her bike and rides away.
+
+"Ben, wait!" Sara calls. "Be careful!"
+
+But Ben does not hear her. He is too busy having fun. He rides fast and does not look where he is going. He does not see the car coming. He does not hear the horn. He does not feel the brakes.
+
+CRASH!
+
+Sara runs to Ben. He is lying on the ground. He is bleeding. He is not moving. Sara screams. The car driver gets out. He is scared. He is sorry. He calls for help.
+
+Sara cries. She wishes Ben had worn a helmet. She wishes he had listened to her. She wishes he had been her friend.
+
+The end.
+Tommy was a stubborn boy who always wanted to do things his way. He did not like to share his toys, or to help his mom, or to go to bed on time. He liked to make a lot of noise and mess.
+
+One day, he was playing with his cars in the kitchen, while his mom was washing the dishes in the sink. He drove his cars all over the floor, and sometimes he bumped into his mom's legs. His mom asked him nicely to play in his room, or to be careful, but he did not listen. He said, "No, I want to play here. This is my road. You move!"
+
+His mom was getting tired of his attitude. She said, "Tommy, you are being very rude and selfish. You need to learn to respect others and to follow the rules. If you don't stop, you will have a time-out."
+
+Tommy did not care. He said, "You can't tell me what to do. I am the boss. You have a time-out!" He laughed and drove his cars faster and louder.
+
+His mom had enough. She said, "That's it, Tommy. You are going to the corner right now. You have been very naughty and you need to calm down." She picked him up and carried him to the corner of the living room. She said, "You will stay here for five minutes, and think about what you did wrong. And no more cars for today."
+
+Tommy was very angry. He kicked and screamed and demanded his cars back. He said, "No, no, no! Give me my cars! I want my cars! You are mean! You are bad!" He cried and threw a tantrum.
+
+His mom ignored him. She said, "You can cry all you want, but you will not get your cars back until you say sorry and behave. You are being very stubborn and you need to learn your lesson."
+
+Tommy did not like the corner. He did not like to be without his cars. He did not like to be quiet and still. He realized that he had made a mistake. He felt sorry for his mom. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was wrong. I was rude and selfish. Can I have a hug?"
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "I am glad you are sorry, Tommy. I love you very much, but I don't like it when you act like that. You need to be kind and polite and obedient. Can you do that?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I love you too. Can I have my cars back?"
+
+His mom said, "Maybe later, after you help me clean up the kitchen. And after you say please."
+
+Tommy said, "Okay, mom. Please can I have my cars back later?"
+
+His mom said, "Yes, you can. Now, let's go and have a hug." She hugged him and kissed him. Tommy felt better. He learned his lesson. He was not so stubborn anymore.
+Sara and Ben love to watch movies with their mom and dad. They also love to eat popcorn when they watch movies. Mom and dad always make a big bowl of popcorn and share it with them.
+
+One day, mom and dad had to go out for a while. They told Sara and Ben to be good and not to touch the popcorn. They said they would be back soon and then they would watch a movie together.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and said okay. But when mom and dad left, they looked at the popcorn. It smelled so good and looked so yummy. They wanted to eat some. Just a little bit.
+
+They sneaked to the kitchen and took the bowl of popcorn. They went to the couch and started to eat. They ate and ate and ate. They did not hear mom and dad come back.
+
+Mom and dad walked into the living room and saw Sara and Ben with the popcorn. They saw the empty bowl and the crumbs on the couch. They saw Sara and Ben's faces. They looked guilty.
+
+Mom and dad were not happy. They asked Sara and Ben why they ate the popcorn. They said they were sorry. They said they were hungry and they could not wait.
+
+Mom and dad sighed. They said they understood, but they also said they were disappointed. They said they had a surprise for them. They said they had bought a new movie to watch with them. But now they had no popcorn to eat.
+
+Sara and Ben felt bad. They wished they had not eaten the popcorn. They wished they had listened to mom and dad. They hugged mom and dad and said they were sorry again.
+
+Mom and dad hugged them back and said they forgave them. They said they still loved them. They said they could still watch the movie, but they had to make more popcorn. They said they would help them.
+
+Sara and Ben smiled. They were glad mom and dad were not angry. They were glad they still had a movie to watch. They were glad they had mom and dad. They said they loved them too.
+
+They went to the kitchen and made more popcorn. They revealed the surprise movie. It was their favorite. They went back to the couch and cuddled with mom and dad. They watched the movie and ate the popcorn. They were happy.
+One day, a girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She loved to see the animals there, especially the deer. They were so delicate and pretty, with brown fur and big eyes. Lily wanted to talk to them and be their friend.
+
+She saw a deer near the fence and ran to it. She said, "Hello, deer. I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" The deer looked at her and nodded. Lily was very happy. She reached out her hand to touch the deer's nose.
+
+But then, a loud noise scared the deer. It was a dog, barking and running towards them. The deer jumped away and ran to the other side of the park. Lily was sad and scared. She cried, "No, dog! Go away! Leave the deer alone!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came to her. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. The dog didn't mean to scare the deer. He just wanted to say hello, too. But the deer are very shy and nervous. They don't like loud noises or fast movements. They need to be calm and gentle."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, deer. I didn't know. I hope you are okay. Maybe next time we can talk again." She looked at the deer, who was still hiding behind a tree. The deer peeked out and nodded back. Lily smiled and waved. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect the deer and their feelings. She learned to be calm and gentle, too.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go first. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Lily waits for her turn.
+
+But when Tom reaches the top, he feels scared. The slide is very high and steep. He does not want to go down. He cries and calls for Lily.
+
+Lily hears Tom and runs to the slide. She sees him crying and tries to help him. She says, "Don't be scared, Tom. I am here. Remember when we went down the slide with Mommy? It was fun. You were happy."
+
+Tom thinks about what Lily says. He remembers the memory of sliding with Mommy. He feels a little better. He says, "You are right, Lily. It was fun. I was happy. Can you slide with me?"
+
+Lily nods and climbs up the ladder. She holds Tom's hand and says, "Yes, I can slide with you. We can do it together. Ready, set, go!"
+
+Tom and Lily slide down the slide. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and shout. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They realize they are brave and they love each other.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with many black rocks on it. They wanted to touch the rocks and see what they were.
+
+"Can we go and see the rocks, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, you can't. Those are not rocks, they are coal. Coal is dirty and can hurt you. You have to stay away from the truck," Mom said.
+
+"But why, Mom? They look like fun. We want to play with them," Lily said.
+
+"Coal is not for playing, Lily. Coal is for making fire and heat. The truck is taking the coal to the factory, where strong men work with it. They need the coal to make things, like cars and toys and clothes. You have to respect their work and not bother them," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They did not understand why they could not see the coal. They thought Mom was not fair. They waited until Mom was busy in the kitchen, and then they sneaked out of the house. They ran to the truck and climbed on it. They touched the coal and felt how hard and rough it was. They threw some coal at each other and laughed.
+
+"Look, we are playing with the rocks!" Tom said.
+
+"Yeah, this is fun!" Lily said.
+
+But then they heard a loud horn. It was the truck driver. He saw the twins on his truck and was angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get off my truck! You are not permitted to be here! You are making a mess and wasting my coal! Go back to your mom!" he shouted.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They jumped off the truck and ran back to the house. They were covered in coal dust and their clothes were dirty. They hoped Mom would not see them.
+
+But Mom did see them. She was very upset. She scolded them for disobeying her and for being rude to the truck driver. She made them take a bath and change their clothes. She also made them apologize to the truck driver and say sorry.
+
+Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They realized that coal was not for playing, and that they had to listen to Mom and respect other people's work. They never went near the truck again. They found other things to play with, like balls and dolls and books. They were happy and good.
+Lily was sad. She wanted to go to the park with her friend Sam, but her mom said no. She said it was too cold and windy outside. Lily did not like the cold and the wind, but she liked the park more. She liked the swings and the slide and the sandbox.
+
+She asked her mom again. "Please, mom, can I go to the park? Sam is waiting for me. He has a letter for me. He said he made it at school. I want to see his letter."
+
+Her mom looked at her with a harsh face. She did not like when Lily asked the same thing over and over. She said, "No, Lily, you cannot go to the park. I told you already. It is not safe to go out today. You can see Sam's letter another day. Now go play with your toys or read a book."
+
+Lily felt angry. She did not want to play with her toys or read a book. She wanted to go to the park and see Sam's letter. She thought her mom was mean and unfair. She stomped her feet and shouted, "I hate you, mom! You are the worst mom ever!"
+
+Her mom was shocked. She did not expect Lily to say such hurtful words. She felt sad and angry too. She said, "Lily, how can you say that? I love you, but you are being very rude and ungrateful. You need to go to your room and think about what you said. You are in time out until you are ready to apologize."
+
+Lily ran to her room and slammed the door. She threw herself on her bed and cried. She did not want to be in time out. She did not want to apologize. She did not want to be in her room. She wanted to go to the park and see Sam's letter. She wondered what it said. Maybe it said that he liked her. Maybe it said that he wanted to be her boyfriend. Maybe it said that he had a surprise for her. She wished she could see his letter. She wished her mom would let her go to the park. She wished her mom would not be so harsh. She wished she could say sorry and hug her mom. She wished she could be happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big box in the yard. They opened it and saw many shiny things inside. There were necklaces, rings, bracelets, and coins. They were all gold and silver and sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Ben said. "They are so pretty and bright. I want to keep them all."
+
+"No, Ben, we can't keep them," Lily said. "They are not ours. They belong to someone else. Maybe they are rich and lost their box. We should give it back to them."
+
+"But Lily, they are so nice. And they are hot, too. Feel them. They are warm from the sun. Maybe they have magic in them. Maybe they can make us rich, too. Please, Lily, let's keep them. Just for a little while."
+
+Ben took a necklace and put it around his neck. He felt happy and proud. He smiled at Lily and held out a ring for her. Lily looked at the ring and then at Ben. She felt tempted and curious. She wanted to try the ring, too. But she also felt scared and guilty. She knew it was wrong to keep things that were not theirs. She shook her head and said:
+
+"No, Ben, we can't. It's not fair. It's not nice. It's not good. We have to give them back. Come on, Ben, let's go and find who they belong to. Maybe they are looking for them. Maybe they are sad and worried. Maybe they will be happy and grateful if we give them back. And maybe they will give us something else. Something that is ours. Something that we can keep."
+
+Lily took off the necklace from Ben's neck and put it back in the box. She closed the lid and picked up the box. She looked at Ben and said:
+
+"Please, Ben, come with me. Don't be mad. Don't be sad. Be good. Be kind. Be brave. Let's go and do the right thing."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and then at the box. He felt angry and sad. He wanted to keep the shiny things. He wanted to be rich and happy. But he also loved Lily. He did not want to make her cry. He did not want to lose her. He sighed and said:
+
+"Okay, Lily, you win. I will go with you. I will give them back. But I don't like it. I don't like it at all."
+
+He followed Lily and the box. They walked out of the yard and looked for the owner of the shiny things. They hoped they would find them soon. They hoped they would be nice. They hoped they would have something else. Something that they could keep.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to watch the big tree in the living room. The tree has many lights and ornaments. Some ornaments are shiny, some are soft, some are funny.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben want to touch the ornaments. They climb on the sofa and reach for the tree. They see a red ornament that looks like a pepper. Lily says, "This ornament is pretty. I want it." Ben says, "No, this ornament is mine. I saw it first."
+
+They both pull the ornament. The ornament falls on the floor and breaks. A spicy smell comes out of the ornament. Lily and Ben sneeze and cough. They feel hot in their noses and mouths. They cry and run to their mom.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the broken ornament and the twins. She says, "Oh no, what happened here? This ornament is not a toy. It is a real pepper. It is spicy and can hurt you. You should not touch the ornaments without asking me."
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to watch the ornaments. We will not touch them again." Mom hugs them and gives them some water and cookies. She says, "It's okay, my loves. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The ornaments are for watching, not for playing. Do you understand?" Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand." They watch the ornaments from the sofa and enjoy the cookies. They think the ornaments are beautiful, but the pepper one is not.
+Ben and Sam liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was the plane. The plane was big and red and made a loud noise when they pushed a button. They liked to fly the plane in the air and pretend they were pilots.
+
+One day, they were playing with the plane in the living room. They took turns to hold the plane and make it zoom around. Ben had the plane and said, "Look, Sam, I can make the plane go very high!" He threw the plane up in the air and watched it soar.
+
+Sam wanted the plane too. He said, "Give me the plane, Ben, it's my turn!" He reached for the plane, but Ben did not want to yield. He said, "No, Sam, I want to play more!" He pulled the plane away from Sam and ran to the other side of the room.
+
+Sam was angry. He said, "That's not fair, Ben, you are a meanie!" He ran after Ben and tried to grab the plane. They both tugged at the plane and shouted at each other. They did not see the vase on the table.
+
+The plane hit the vase and made it fall. The vase broke into many pieces and made a loud crash. The noise scared Ben and Sam and they dropped the plane. The plane also broke and stopped making noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and was very angry. She said, "What have you done, Ben and Sam? You broke the vase and the plane! You are very naughty boys! You have to go to your rooms and no more playing today!"
+
+Ben and Sam felt very sad. They said, "We are sorry, Mom, we did not mean to break the vase and the plane. We just wanted to play." But Mom did not listen. She took them to their rooms and closed the doors. Ben and Sam cried and wished they had shared the plane and played nicely. They learned that being greedy and fighting was not funny at all.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play soccer. They were on the same team and always passed the ball to each other. One day, they had a big game against another team. Sara and Tom wanted to win very much.
+
+During the game, Sara saw a chance to score a goal. She ran with the ball and kicked it hard. But the ball hit Tom in the face and bounced away. Tom fell down and cried. Sara felt bad and said sorry. But Tom was angry and said, "You are a bad player! You hurt me on purpose! I don't want to be your friend anymore!"
+
+Sara was sad and ran away. She sat on a bench and cried too. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She wanted to help the team. She wished Tom would forgive her.
+
+A cute dog came to the bench and licked Sara's face. Sara smiled and petted the dog. The dog wagged its tail and barked. Sara felt better and said, "You are a good dog. You are kind and friendly. You make me happy."
+
+The dog's owner came and said, "Hello, I'm Anna. This is my dog, Spot. He likes to play soccer too. Do you want to join us?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'm Sara. I like soccer too. But I had a fight with my friend. He is mad at me."
+
+Anna said, "That's too bad. Why did you fight?" Sara told Anna what happened. Anna said, "I see. That was an accident. You didn't mean to hurt him. Maybe he is still in pain and needs some time to calm down. Why don't you go and talk to him? Maybe he will forgive you if you show him you care."
+
+Sara thought about it and said, "You are right. I should try to make up with him. He is my friend and I miss him. Thank you, Anna. And thank you, Spot. You are both very nice." Sara hugged the dog and said goodbye to Anna. She ran back to the field and looked for Tom.
+
+She found him sitting on the grass with a bandage on his nose. He looked sad too. Sara went to him and said, "Hi, Tom. I'm sorry I hurt you. It was an accident. I didn't want to make you cry. I want to be your friend again. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom looked at Sara and saw her sincere eyes. He remembered how they used to play and have fun together. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He said, "Hi, Sara. I'm sorry I yelled at you. It was not fair. You are a good player and a good friend. I forgive you. Can we play again?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, of course. I'm glad you forgive me. Let's play again." They hugged and went to join the game. They played well and helped their team win. They were happy and proud. They learned that everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but friends can forgive and forget. They also learned that a cute dog can make anyone feel better.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park with their mom. They like to swing, slide and run. They are having fun.
+
+"Time for a snack, kids!" mom says. She has a big bag with apples, crackers and juice. Lily and Ben run to mom and sit on the grass.
+
+"Can I have an apple, please?" Lily asks.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+Mom gives them each an apple and a cracker. They bite and chew. The apples are sweet and crunchy. The crackers are salty and crispy.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles and drinks some juice. She is thirsty.
+
+"Can we play some more, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but not too far. Stay where I can see you, okay?" mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They finish their snack and throw the cores and wrappers in the trash. They run back to the playground. They see a big slide. It is very high and long.
+
+"Wow, look at that slide!" Lily says.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" Ben says.
+
+They climb the stairs to the top of the slide. They hold hands and get ready to slide down.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, I'm ready, Ben!" Lily says.
+
+They slide down together. They go very fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They land on the soft sand at the bottom.
+
+"That was fun!" Lily says.
+
+"That was awesome!" Ben says.
+
+They get up and dust off the sand. They look at mom. She is waving at them. She has a heavy bag on her shoulder. It is time to go home.
+
+"Come on, kids, let's go home!" mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They run to mom and hug her. They are happy. They had a great day at the park.
+Lily and Sam like to create things with blocks. They make houses, cars, towers and animals. They have fun and share their blocks.
+
+One day, they see a big box of new blocks in the classroom. They run to the box and open it. There are many colors and shapes of blocks. They are excited and want to play with them.
+
+"Let's make a long train with these blocks!" Lily says.
+
+"Good idea! We can be a team and work together!" Sam says.
+
+They start to create the train. They use red blocks for the engine, blue blocks for the cars, yellow blocks for the windows and green blocks for the wheels. They make the train longer and longer. They are happy and proud of their train.
+
+"Look at our train! It is so long and pretty!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is! We are a good team!" Sam says.
+
+They smile and hug each other. They invite their friends to see their train and play with them. They have a lot of fun with their blocks.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of carrots that they picked from the farm. They like to eat carrots, but they also like to pretend they are treasure.
+
+"Let's bury some carrots and find them later," Tom says. "It will be fun!"
+
+"OK," Anna agrees. "But where should we bury them?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He sees a big tree with a lot of leaves. He points to it and says, "There! Under the tree. It is a good hiding place."
+
+They run to the tree and dig a hole with their hands. They put some carrots in the hole and cover them with dirt. They pat the dirt and smile.
+
+"We did it!" Tom says. "We buried our treasure. Now we have to remember where it is."
+
+They run back to the bucket and grab some more carrots. They look for another spot to bury them. They are having a lot of fun.
+
+But they do not see a big rabbit watching them from behind the bushes. The rabbit has long ears and a fluffy tail. He likes to eat carrots, too. He thinks the children are very silly. He waits until they are gone and then hops to the tree. He sniffs the dirt and digs with his paws. He finds the carrots and eats them. He thinks they are delicious.
+
+He is a powerful rabbit. He can smell and dig and eat all the carrots he wants. He does not care about the children or their treasure. He is happy and full. He hops away to find more carrots. He is the king of the garden.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many fish. The fish were red, blue, yellow and green. They were very pretty.
+
+"Look, Tom, a gold fish!" Lily said. She pointed to a fish that shone like the sun.
+
+"Wow, it is so bright!" Tom said. He wanted to touch it. He ran to the pond and put his hand in the water.
+
+"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "The water is not clear. It is dirty. You will get sick."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He reached for the gold fish. The fish saw him and swam away. Tom followed it. He went deeper and deeper into the pond.
+
+Lily was scared. She could not see Tom. She ran to get help. She saw a man with a big hat. He was sitting on a bench. He had a book.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily cried. "My friend is in the pond. He is chasing a gold fish. He will drown."
+
+The man looked up. He saw Lily and the pond. He saw bubbles in the water. He put down his book and ran to the pond. He jumped in and grabbed Tom. He pulled him out of the water.
+
+Tom was wet and cold. He was coughing and crying. The man wrapped him in a towel. He gave him a hug.
+
+"Are you okay, son?" the man asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was sorry. He was silly.
+
+"Where is the gold fish?" he asked.
+
+The man smiled. He pointed to the pond. The gold fish was still there. But it was not gold anymore. It was red.
+
+"The gold fish changed color," the man said. "It can do that to hide from danger. It is a magic fish."
+
+Lily and Tom were amazed. They thanked the man. They learned a lesson. They never chased the gold fish again. They watched it from far away. They liked the magic fish.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a car. She also liked to sit on the big armchair in the living room and pretend it was a castle or a spaceship.
+
+One day, she was playing on the armchair with her doll and her bear. She put them on the cushions and said, "You are the king and the queen of the castle. I am the princess. We are very happy here."
+
+But then, she heard a noise from the kitchen. It was her mom, who was making lunch. She called, "Lily, come and eat. It's time for lunch."
+
+Lily did not want to leave her toys. She said, "No, mom. I want to play. I'm not hungry."
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, you have to eat. It's good for you. And you can play later. Come on, please."
+
+Lily still did not want to go. She had an idea. She said, "OK, mom. I'm coming. But first, I have to turn the armchair."
+
+She got up and pushed the armchair with all her strength. She wanted to turn it around, so her mom would not see her toys. She thought she was very clever.
+
+But the armchair was too heavy and too big for her. She could not move it. She only made it wobble a little. Then, it fell over with a loud thud. Lily fell down too. She was scared and hurt. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw Lily on the floor and the armchair on its side. She was worried and angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? Why did you try to turn the armchair? You could have hurt yourself or broken something. That was very naughty."
+
+She picked up Lily and hugged her. She checked if she was OK. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you wanted to play. But you have to listen to me. And you have to be careful. You can't turn the armchair. It's too big for you. And you don't have to hide your toys. I don't mind them. I love you, Lily. But you have to be good."
+
+Lily felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I won't turn the armchair again. I love you, mom. Can we eat now?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. And after lunch, you can play with your toys again. But on the floor, OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. Thank you, mom."
+
+They went to the kitchen and ate lunch. Lily was hungry and happy. She learned her lesson. She never tried to turn the armchair again.
+Lily was a shy girl who did not like loud noises. She liked to play with her dolls and read books in her room. She did not like to go to school, where there were many children and teachers who talked a lot.
+
+One morning, Lily's alarm rang and woke her up. She did not want to get out of bed. She wanted to stay under the covers and sleep more. She heard her mom knock on the door and say, "Lily, it's time to get up. You have to go to school today."
+
+Lily did not answer. She hoped her mom would go away and let her sleep. But her mom opened the door and came in. She saw Lily hiding under the covers and smiled. She said, "Lily, I know you are shy and you don't like school, but you have to go. School is good for you. You can learn new things and make new friends. And I will be here when you come back. Don't you want to try?"
+
+Lily peeked out from the covers and looked at her mom. She saw her mom's kind eyes and heard her mom's soft voice. She felt a little less scared. She said, "Mom, I don't know. School seems hard and scary. What if the other children don't like me? What if the teachers are mean?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, you are a smart and sweet girl. I'm sure the other children will like you if you give them a chance. And the teachers are not mean, they are there to help you. You don't have to be afraid. You can do it. I believe in you."
+
+Lily felt her mom's warm hug and heard her mom's encouraging words. She felt a little more brave. She said, "Mom, thank you. I will try. But can you stay with me for a little while?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, Lily. I will stay with you until you are ready. Come on, let's get dressed and have some breakfast. Then we can go to school together. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my brave girl."
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play games. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It had a lot of old clothes and hats and masks. They decided to dress up and pretend to be different people.
+
+Anna put on a long dress and a big hat with feathers. She said, "I am a lady who sings opera. I have a beautiful voice and everyone loves me." She opened her mouth and made a loud noise like a cat.
+
+Ben put on a black suit and a mask with a long nose. He said, "I am a man who is in love with the opera lady. But I have a secret. I am dead and I live in the dark. I scare people who come to the opera house." He sneaked behind Anna and grabbed her hair.
+
+Anna screamed and tried to run away. But Ben was faster and pulled her to the floor. He said, "You are mine, opera lady. You will never sing again. You will stay with me in the dark forever." He laughed and covered her mouth with his hand.
+
+Anna was very scared and sad. She wished she had never played this game. She wished she had never found the box. She wished Ben was not dead and mean. She wished someone would come and save her. But no one came. No one heard her cry. No one knew where she was. Anna and Ben were alone in the attic. And Ben was dead and mean.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big gate with a lock. They wanted to see what was behind the gate.
+
+"Let's unlock the gate and go in," Tom said.
+
+"But we don't have a key," Lila said.
+
+"Maybe we can find one," Tom said. He looked around and saw a shiny key on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the gate. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The gate opened with a creak.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Lila said. She followed Tom inside the gate. They saw a big pit with a lot of sand and rocks. They also saw some tools and a sign that said "Digging for fossils".
+
+"What are fossils?" Lila asked.
+
+"They are old bones from animals that lived a long time ago," Tom said. He had learned about fossils in his book. "Maybe we can find some fossils here."
+
+They took some tools and started to dig in the pit. They had a lot of fun. They found some shells, some teeth, and some bones. They put them in a bucket.
+
+"This is amazing!" Tom said. "We are like explorers!"
+
+They heard a loud voice. It was the park ranger. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? This is a restricted area! You are not allowed to dig here! Give me that key and that bucket!"
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They dropped the tools and ran to the gate. They gave the key and the bucket to the park ranger and ran away.
+
+They felt sorry for what they did. They also felt sad for losing their fossils. They decided to never unlock the gate again. They learned their lesson.
+Jill liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, she saw a jug on the table. It was Mom's jug. It was delicate and shiny. It had pretty patterns on it. Jill wanted to paint the jug. She thought it would look more beautiful.
+
+She took the jug and some paint. She went to her room. She put the jug on her desk. She dipped her brush in the paint. She started to paint the jug.
+
+But the jug was slippery. It did not hold the paint well. The paint dripped and ran. Jill tried to wipe it off. But she pushed too hard. The jug fell off the desk. It broke into many pieces.
+
+Jill heard a loud noise. She was scared. She knew Mom would be angry. She hid under her bed. She hoped Mom would not find out. But Mom heard the noise too. She came to Jill's room. She saw the broken jug and the paint. She was sad and mad.
+
+She found Jill under the bed. She pulled her out. She scolded her. She said, "Jill, why did you do this? This was my jug. It was delicate and special. You should not have touched it. You should not have painted it. You ruined it. You are in big trouble."
+
+Jill felt sorry. She cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to paint the jug. I wanted to make it more beautiful. I did not mean to break it. Please forgive me."
+
+Mom sighed. She hugged Jill. She said, "I know you did not mean to break it. But you should have asked me first. You should have been careful. You should have respected my things. Painting is good, but not on everything. You need to learn when to paint and when not to paint. Do you understand?"
+
+Jill nodded. She said, "I understand, Mom. I will not paint your things again. I will only paint on paper. I will be good. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Jill. Now let's clean up this mess. And then we can paint something together. Something that is not delicate and shiny. Something that is fun and easy. How about that?"
+
+Jill smiled too. She said, "Yes, Mom. That sounds good. Thank you, Mom."

+
+"Let's go inside and have some cocoa," Mia said. "Mom said she would make it for us when we hear the ring."

+"The ring of the bell. Mom has a bell in the kitchen. She rings it when the cocoa is ready. Then we can run inside and drink it. It will make us warm and happy."
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They liked cocoa. They liked the smell and the taste and the steam. They waited for the ring.
+
+But the ring did not come. Tom and Mia got colder and colder. They started to shiver and sneeze. They wondered why Mom did not ring the bell.
+
+"Maybe she forgot," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe she is busy," Mia said.
+
+"Maybe we should go and see," Tom said.
+
+They decided to go and see. They left their snowman and their snowballs and walked to the house. They opened the door and saw Mom in the kitchen. She was lying on the floor. She looked very pale and still. She did not move or talk.
+
+Tom and Mia felt scared. They ran to Mom and tried to wake her up. They called her name and shook her gently. But Mom did not wake up. She did not ring the bell. She did not make the cocoa.
+
+Tom and Mia did not know what to do. They felt dizzy and sad. They wished Mom would wake up. They wished they could hear the ring. They wished they could have some cocoa.

+
+"I'm sorry, Tommy," he said. "That was not a furry friend. That was a skunk. Skunks don't like to swim. They like to hide and spray. You have to be careful with wild animals. They can hurt you or make you sick."

+Tommy nodded and hugged his daddy. He learned his lesson. He decided to stay in the pool and swim with his mommy and daddy. He did not chase any more furry animals. He had fun in the water.

+Tim and Lily were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy. They saw a shiny thing on the table. It was a knife. Tim wanted to grab it and see what it could do. Lily said, "No, Tim, that is bad. Mom said knives are sharp and can hurt us. We should not touch it."
+
+But Tim did not listen. He said, "I am not scared. I am big and strong. I can play with the knife. Watch me." He reached for the knife and grabbed it. He felt the cold metal in his hand. He smiled and waved it around.

Why did you play with the knife? You know it is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or Lily. You are very lucky. You need to be careful and listen to Mom and Lily. They love you and want you to be safe."
+
+Tim felt the pain in his arm. He felt the tears in his eyes. He felt sorry for what he did. He said, "I am sorry, Mom. I am sorry, Lily. I was silly and bad. I wanted to play with the knife. I did not think it would hurt me. I did not mean to push Lily. I love you both. Please forgive me."
+
+Mom kissed Tim and said, "I forgive you, Tim. But you need to learn from this. Knives are not toys. They are tools for grown-ups. You should never touch them without permission. You should always be kind and gentle to Lily. She is your sister and your friend. She was trying to help you. You should say sorry to her too."
+
+Lily came closer and said, "I forgive you too, Tim. But you scared me a lot. You should not grab things that are not yours. You should not wave them around. You should not be mean to me. I love you and I want you to be happy and safe."

+They go to the front porch and call their moms and dads. They come out and sit on the chairs. They smile and clap.
+
+"Welcome to our show!" Lila says. "We have a special feather for you. It is magic and colorful. We hope you like it!"
+
+They start their show. They sing and dance and wave the feather. They make funny faces and noises. They have a lot of fun. Their moms and dads watch and laugh and cheer. They are very proud of Lila and Ben.
+
+"Bravo, bravo!" they say. "You are amazing! You are the best performers ever!"
+
+Lila and Ben bow and hug. They are very happy. They share the feather with their moms and dads. They thank them for watching their show. They say they are lucky to have such a wonderful feather and such wonderful friends. They are the end.
+Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun equipment, like a ball, a bike, a kite and a bucket. They always shared their equipment with each other and with other kids.
+
+One day, a new kid came to the park. His name was Max and he had a brown teddy bear. He looked shy and lonely, so Tim and Sue decided to include him in their games. They asked him if he wanted to play with them and their equipment.
+
+Max nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, that is very nice of you. Can I bring my teddy bear too? He is my best friend."
+
+Tim and Sue said, "Of course, you can. We like teddy bears too. What is his name?"
+
+Max said, "His name is Brownie. He is very soft and cuddly."
+
+Tim and Sue thought Brownie was cute and they invited Max and Brownie to join them. They played with the ball, the bike, the kite and the bucket. They had a lot of fun and they became good friends.
+
+The next day, Tim and Sue came to the park again. They looked for Max and Brownie, but they could not find them. They asked some other kids if they had seen them, but no one knew where they were.
+
+They felt sad and worried. They wondered if Max and Brownie were okay. They hoped they would see them again soon.
+
+They walked around the park, looking for clues. They saw a big sign that said, "Lost: Brown teddy bear. Reward: A hug and a smile. Please call Max if you find him."
+
+Tim and Sue realized that Max had lost Brownie. They felt sorry for him and they wanted to help him. They remembered that they had played with Brownie near the slide. They ran to the slide and looked around.
+
+They saw something brown under the slide. They pulled it out and saw that it was Brownie. He was dirty and torn, but he still had his smile.
+
+Tim and Sue were happy and excited. They had found Brownie. They called Max and told him the good news. Max was overjoyed and thanked them. He said, "You are the best friends ever. You found my teddy bear. You made me happy."
+
+Tim and Sue said, "You are welcome, Max. We are happy too. We are glad you are our friend. We like you and your teddy bear."
+
+They hugged each other and Brownie. They learned that friendship is more important than equipment. They learned that sharing and caring are good things to do. They learned that brown is a beautiful color.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a truck with ice. The ice has many colors and flavors. Anna and Ben want to try the ice.
+
+"Can we buy some ice, please?" they ask their moms.
+
+"Sure, you can buy one each. But first, you have to share your toys with the other kids," their moms say.
+
+Anna and Ben agree. They share their toys with the other kids. They make new friends. They have fun.
+
+Then, they go to the truck with ice. They see many attractive ice. They want to buy them all.
+
+"Which one do you want, Anna?" Ben asks.
+
+"I want the pink one. It looks yummy. What about you, Ben?" Anna says.
+
+"I want the blue one. It looks cool. Let's buy them," Ben says.
+
+They give their money to the man. The man gives them their ice. They thank the man.
+
+They lick their ice. They smile. They enjoy their ice.
+
+They learn that sharing is good. Sharing makes them happy. Sharing makes them have more friends. Sharing makes them appreciate their ice more.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big house with a high fence and a shiny car. They wondered who lived there and what they had inside.
+
+"Let's go and see," Tom said. "Maybe they have toys and candy and books."
+
+"But the fence is locked," Sue said. "And maybe they are not nice. Maybe they are rich and mean."
+
+Tom did not listen. He found a hole in the fence and crawled through. He told Sue to follow him. Sue was scared, but she did not want to be alone. She crawled through the hole too.
+
+They walked to the house and saw a door that was open. They went inside and saw a big kitchen with a lot of food and dishes. They smelled something good and saw a pot on the stove.
+
+"Look, soup!" Tom said. "I'm hungry. Let's have some."
+
+He took a spoon and tasted the soup. He made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck! It's too salty!" he said.
+
+He saw a jar of salt on the counter and had an idea. He took the jar and poured all the salt into the pot.
+
+"That will teach them to be rich and mean," he said. "Now their soup will be bad."
+
+He laughed and ran to the door. Sue followed him. She did not think it was funny. She thought it was mean.
+
+They ran to the fence and tried to crawl back through the hole. But they were too late. A big dog came out of the house and barked at them. It was angry and hungry. It saw them and ran to them.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Sue screamed. "The dog is going to get us!"
+
+But no one heard them. No one came to help them. The dog caught them and bit them. It hurt them a lot. They cried and wished they had never gone to the house. They wished they had been nice and not mean. But it was too late. The dog did not let them go. The dog ate them. The end.
+Ben and Lily liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they saw birds and squirrels and bugs. They liked to make up games and stories with their toys.
+
+One day, they decided to plan a big adventure. They wanted to climb the mountain behind their house. The mountain was very tall and green. It had rocks and dirt and grass. They packed some snacks and water and put on their hats and shoes.
+
+They started to walk up the mountain. They saw many things on the way. They saw a rabbit hop by. They saw a butterfly land on a flower. They saw a lizard sun on a rock. They stopped to look and talk and eat.
+
+They kept walking up the mountain. They saw the sky get blue and bright. They saw the clouds get white and fluffy. They saw the trees get small and far. They felt the air get cool and fresh. They stopped to breathe and smile and drink.
+
+They reached the top of the mountain. They saw their house and yard and street. They saw the cars and people and shops. They saw the lake and park and bridge. They felt very happy and proud and tired. They hugged and cheered and rested.
+
+They heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big bird. The bird had brown feathers and a yellow beak. The bird had sharp claws and a loud cry. The bird was an eagle. The eagle was hungry and alert.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They grabbed their snacks and water and ran. They ran down the mountain. They ran past the lizard and the butterfly and the rabbit. They ran to their house and yard and door. They ran to their mom and dad and dog.
+
+They told their mom and dad and dog about their adventure. They told them about the mountain and the sky and the eagle. They showed them their snacks and water and hats. They asked them to hug and kiss and praise.
+
+They felt very brave and smart and lucky. They decided to plan another adventure. But not today. Today they wanted to stay inside and play. They wanted to make up games and stories with their toys. And they wanted to watch the eagle fly.

+But then, a noisy dog comes. The dog barks and runs. The dog knocks down the tower. The blocks fall down. Lily and Tom are sad.
+
+"Bad dog!" Lily says. "Go away!"
+
+The dog does not go away. The dog wants to play. The dog picks up a block with its mouth. The dog runs away with the block.
+
+"Hey, that is our block!" Tom says. "Give it back!"
+
+Lily and Tom chase the dog. They run and run. They catch the dog. They take the block from the dog. The dog wags its tail. The dog licks Lily and Tom.
+
+"Maybe the dog is sorry," Lily says. "Maybe the dog wants to be our friend."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But the dog has to be quiet. And the dog has to help us do the tower."
+
+Lily and Tom go back to the blocks. The dog follows them. The dog is quiet. The dog helps them do the tower. The dog puts some blocks on the tower. The tower is big and strong. Lily and Tom are happy. The dog is happy.
+
+They do a success. They clap their hands. They hug the dog. They are friends.
+Sara and Tom are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand. The sand is fine and soft. They make a big castle with a moat and a flag. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Mom, look, Dad, we made a castle!" Sara says.
+
+"That's a wonderful castle, Sara. You and Tom are very clever," Mom says.
+
+"Can we go in the water now?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful. Don't go too far. And wear your hats and sunscreen," Dad says.
+
+Sara and Tom run to the water. They splash and swim and laugh. The water is cool and clear. They see some fish and shells. They are having fun.
+
+After a while, they are tired. They go back to the sand. They lie down on their towels. They close their eyes. They feel the sun and the breeze. They are sleepy.
+
+"Are you ready to go home?" Mom asks.
+
+"Not yet, Mom. We want to lie here a little more," Sara says.
+
+"OK, but only a little more. Then we have to pack up and go. We have ice cream at home," Dad says.
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They love ice cream. They love the beach. They love Mom and Dad. They are happy.
+Ben and Sam were playing with their toy trucks in the yard. They liked to load dirt and rocks on their trucks and drive them around. They also liked to pretend they were working on a big construction site.
+
+One day, they saw a shiny lock on the fence. It looked like a treasure to them. They wanted to take it and play with it. They thought no one would notice.
+
+"Let's load the lock on my truck and hide it in the shed," Ben whispered to Sam.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quick and quiet," Sam agreed.
+
+They grabbed the lock and put it on Ben's truck. They drove it to the shed and closed the door. They felt excited and sneaky.
+
+But they did not know that the lock belonged to Mr. Lee, their neighbor. He used the lock to secure his bike to the fence. He was very angry when he saw that his lock was gone. He asked Ben and Sam's mom if she knew anything about it.
+
+Ben and Sam's mom was surprised and worried. She called Ben and Sam to come inside. She asked them if they knew where the lock was.
+
+Ben and Sam looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. They told their mom the truth and apologized.
+
+Their mom was disappointed and sad. She told them to return the lock to Mr. Lee and say sorry to him. She also told them to think about how they would feel if someone took their toys without asking.
+
+Ben and Sam did as their mom said. They gave the lock back to Mr. Lee and said sorry. Mr. Lee was still upset, but he accepted their apology. He told them to never do that again.
+
+Ben and Sam learned their lesson. They realized that taking things that do not belong to them is not nice or fun. They decided to only play with their own toys and respect other people's things. They also thanked their mom for teaching them the right thing to do.
+One day, a boy named Tom found a shiny thing in his dad's bathroom. It looked like a small knife with many teeth. Tom was curious and wanted to play with it. He picked it up and felt how cold and heavy it was. He wondered what it was for.
+
+He decided to taste it, because he liked to taste new things. He thought it might be sweet or sour or salty. He opened his mouth and put the shiny thing on his tongue. But it was not sweet or sour or salty. It was sharp and painful. It cut his tongue and made it bleed. Tom screamed and dropped the shiny thing. It clattered on the floor.
+
+His dad heard the noise and ran to the bathroom. He saw Tom crying and holding his mouth. He saw the blood and the shiny thing on the floor. He knew it was his razor, an ancient tool for shaving his beard. He was angry and scared. He picked up Tom and hugged him. He said, "Tom, you should never touch my razor. It is very dangerous. It can hurt you very badly. It is not a toy. It is not for tasting. It is for shaving. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded and sobbed. He felt sorry and stupid. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know. It looked fun. I wanted to taste it. But it was bad. It hurt me. I won't touch it again. I promise."
+
+His dad said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be more careful. You have to ask me before you touch anything in my bathroom. There are many things that can harm you. You have to learn what they are and avoid them. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded and hugged his dad. He said, "I understand, dad. I love you. Thank you for helping me."
+
+His dad said, "I love you too, Tom. You're my brave boy. Come on, let's clean your wound and put a band-aid on it. Then we can have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "That sounds good, dad. That sounds very good."
+Lily got a new toy for her birthday. It was a top that could spin very fast and make pretty colors. Lily loved her new toy and wanted to play with it all the time.
+
+One day, Lily took her new toy to the park with her mom. She found a flat spot on the grass and started to spin her top. She watched the colors swirl and smiled. She felt happy.
+
+But then, a big dog came running towards her. The dog saw the spinning top and thought it was a ball. The dog barked and jumped on the top, trying to catch it. The top flew out of the grass and landed on the road.
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She ran after her top, hoping to save it. She did not see the black car that was coming fast. The car did not see Lily either. The car hit Lily and the top with a loud noise.
+
+Lily and her top did not spin anymore. They were broken and still. Lily's mom screamed and cried. The dog ran away. The car stopped and the driver got out. He was sorry and scared too. But it was too late. Lily and her new toy were gone.
+Ben was very happy today. It was his birthday and he had a big cake with candles. He blew out the candles and made a wish. He wished for a new shirt with a dinosaur on it. He loved dinosaurs very much.
+
+After he ate some cake, his mom and dad gave him a big hug and a big box. He opened the box and saw a shirt with a dinosaur on it. It was green and blue and had spikes and teeth. It was the most impressive shirt he had ever seen. He put it on and ran around the room, roaring like a dinosaur.
+
+He thanked his mom and dad and gave them a big kiss. He was so happy he received the shirt he wished for. He felt like a real dinosaur. He played with his toys and his friends and had the best birthday ever. He wore his impressive shirt all day and all night. He dreamed of dinosaurs and smiled in his sleep.
+Lisa and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they decide to go to a restaurant with their parents. They put on their nice clothes and shoes. Lisa wears a pink dress and Tom wears a blue shirt.
+
+They get in the car and drive to the restaurant. It is a big and bright place. There are many people and tables. Lisa and Tom see a lot of food and drinks. They smell yummy things. They are hungry and excited.
+
+They sit down at a table with their parents. A lady comes to take their order. She smiles and asks, "What do you want to eat, kids?"
+
+Lisa says, "I want pizza and juice, please." Tom says, "I want pasta and milk, please." The lady nods and writes down their order. She says, "Good choices. I will bring your food soon."
+
+Lisa and Tom look around the restaurant. They see pictures on the wall, flowers on the window, and toys on the shelf. They think the restaurant is very attractive. They say to each other, "This is a nice place. We are having fun." They wait for their food and talk to their parents. They are happy.

+One day, they go to the park with Mom. They bring their car with them. They take turns to push the car on the grass. They have fun and laugh.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. It is brown and furry and has sharp teeth. It sees the car and runs to it. It grabs the car with its mouth and shakes it hard. The car breaks into pieces.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad. They cry and cry. They want their car back. Mom hugs them and says sorry. She says the dog is bad and the car is gone.
+
+She says they can get a new car. She says they can choose any car they want. She says they can go to the toy store now.
+

+Lily likes to pick flowers. She picks yellow flowers, blue flowers, and red flowers. She puts them in a big jar. She wants to make her table pretty.
+
+She puts the jar on the table. She looks for a cloth. She sees a pink cloth in the drawer. She likes pink. She takes the cloth and puts it on the table. She smiles.
+
+She hears a knock on the door. She runs to open it. It is her friend Max. He has a big ball. He wants to play with Lily. Lily says yes.
+
+She shows Max her table. She says, "Look, I picked flowers. They are in a jar. And I have a pink cloth. Do you like it?" Max nods. He says, "It is very pretty. You are good at picking flowers. And I like pink too."
+
+They play with the ball in the yard. They have fun. They are happy. Lily and Max are good friends.
+Sara and Ben were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make noise and run around. They did not like to clean their toys when they were done. Mama always told them to clean their toys, but they did not listen.
+
+One day, a big wind came and blew very hard. It made the trees shake and the leaves fly. Sara and Ben were scared and ran inside. They left their toys outside in the wind.
+
+Mama saw their toys outside and was very angry. She called Sara and Ben and said, "You did not clean your toys! Now the wind has taken them away! You are very naughty and you will not get any new toys!"
+
+Sara and Ben cried and said, "We are sorry, Mama! We did not mean to leave our toys outside! Please, can we have them back?"
+
+But Mama said, "No, you cannot have them back. The wind has blown them far away. Maybe someone else will find them and clean them. You have to learn to be more careful and serious. Now go to your room and think about what you did!"
+
+Sara and Ben went to their room and felt very sad. They wished they had cleaned their toys. They missed their toys and wondered where they were. They hoped the wind would bring them back someday. But the wind did not bring them back. The end.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a doll and Ben had a car. The car was made of steel and it was shiny and fast. Lila liked the car and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Ben, can I have your car?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, it is my car. You have your doll," Ben said.
+
+"But I want to try your car. It looks fun," Lila said.
+
+"No, you can't. Go away," Ben said.
+
+Lila was sad and angry. She waited until Ben was not looking and grabbed his car. She ran to her room and locked the door. Ben saw what she did and shouted.
+
+"Lila, give me back my car! You are a terrible sister! You stole my car!"
+
+Lila did not listen. She played with the car on her bed. She made it zoom and beep. She thought it was the best toy ever. She did not care about Ben or his feelings.
+
+After a while, Mom came home. She heard Ben crying and knocking on Lila's door. She asked him what was wrong.
+
+"Lila took my car and won't give it back. She is a terrible sister. She stole my car," Ben sobbed.
+
+Mom was angry and shocked. She went to Lila's door and opened it with a key. She saw Lila playing with Ben's car. She scolded Lila.
+
+"Lila, what are you doing? This is not your car. This is Ben's car. You did a very bad thing. You stole his car. You hurt his feelings. You need to say sorry and give it back to him."
+
+Lila looked at Mom and felt ashamed. She realized she was wrong. She did not want to be a terrible sister. She wanted to be a good sister. She gave the car back to Ben and said sorry.
+
+"Ben, I am sorry. I should not have taken your car. It was not nice. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben was still upset, but he saw that Lila was sorry. He loved his sister, even when she was bad. He hugged her and said.
+
+"It's okay, Lila. I forgive you. You are my sister. I love you. But don't take my car again, okay?"
+
+Lila nodded and smiled. She said.
+
+"I love you too, Ben. And I won't take your car again. Can we play together?"
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He said.
+
+"Okay, let's play together. You can play with my car sometimes, if you ask me nicely."
+
+Mom was happy to see them make up. She said.
+
+"That's very good, Lila and Ben. You are good siblings. You share and care for each other. I am proud of you."
+
+Lila and Ben hugged Mom and thanked her. They played with their toys happily and peacefully. They learned a lesson about giving and stealing. They did not want to be terrible anymore. They wanted to be good.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many pieces of wood and nails. They wanted to build something with the box.
+
+"Let's make a church!" Ben said. "We can pretend to be priests and sing songs."
+
+"OK!" Sam said. "But I want to be the boss. You have to do what I say."
+
+They took the box and the pieces of wood to the backyard. They started to hammer and nail the wood together. They made a door, a roof, and a cross. They were very proud of their church.
+
+"Look, we made a church!" Ben said. "It's so big and nice. Can we go inside and play?"
+
+"No!" Sam said. "You can't go inside. It's my church. You have to stay outside and watch."
+
+"But that's not fair!" Ben said. "We made it together. I want to play too."
+
+"I don't care!" Sam said. "It's mine. Go away!"
+
+Ben was very sad and angry. He wanted to play with his brother. He wanted to see the church. He thought of a way to make Sam share. He grabbed a piece of wood and ran to the church. He hit the door with the wood. He hit it hard. He wanted to break the door.
+
+"Stop!" Sam shouted. "You're ruining my church! Leave it alone!"
+
+But Ben did not stop. He hit the door again and again. He heard a loud snap. The door broke. The wood fell down. The roof fell down. The cross fell down. The church collapsed.
+
+Ben and Sam stared at the mess. They could not believe what happened. They ruined their church. They wasted their box. They broke their toys. They were not lucky. They were very unlucky.
+
+They started to cry. They heard their mom coming. She saw the mess. She saw their tears. She was very angry. She scolded them. She took away their toys. She sent them to their room. They had no church. They had no fun. They had no friends. They had a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. They liked to pretend that they were the family who lived in the dollhouse.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to play with the dollhouse, but Ben was already playing with it. He said, "This is my turn. You can play later." Anna was angry and said, "No, I want to play now. You always play with it. Give it to me." They started to pull and push the dollhouse, and it fell to the floor. The dollhouse broke into many pieces, and some of the furniture flew out. Anna and Ben were shocked and scared.
+
+They heard their mom coming upstairs. She saw the mess and the broken dollhouse. She was very angry and said, "What have you done? This was a gift from grandma. How could you be so careless and selfish? You have to clean this up and go to your rooms. No more playing for today." She took a bottle of shampoo from the bathroom and poured it over the dollhouse and the furniture. She said, "This is what you get for ruining your toy. Now it is all dirty and sticky. Maybe you will learn to share and be careful next time." She left them alone with the shampoo-covered dollhouse.
+
+Anna and Ben started to cry. They felt sorry for what they had done. They wished they had not fought over the dollhouse. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had said sorry to each other. They wished they could fix the dollhouse and play with it again. But it was too late. The dollhouse was ruined, and their mom was harsh. They did not know how to forgive themselves or each other.
+
+The moral of the story is: Fighting over toys can lead to bad consequences. Sharing and being careful are better than being selfish and careless. Saying sorry and forgiving are better than being angry and harsh.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. But Anna wants to try the big slide. The big slide is very high and fast. Ben is scared of the big slide.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go to the big slide!" Anna says.
+
+"No, Anna, the big slide is too scary. Let's stay on the small slide. It is safe and fun." Ben says.
+
+Anna is not happy. She wants to go to the big slide. She does not want to be patient. She does not listen to Ben. She runs to the big slide. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top.
+
+"Anna, come back! The big slide is not for us. You can get hurt!" Ben shouts.
+
+But Anna does not hear him. She slides down the big slide. She goes very fast. She feels the wind in her hair. She thinks she is brave. But then she sees the end of the slide. There is a big rock. She cannot stop. She hits the rock. She cries out loud. She is hurt.
+
+Ben runs to Anna. He sees blood on her head. He is very scared. He calls for help. A man comes. He is a doctor. He looks at Anna. He says she needs to go to the hospital. He says she has a bad cut. He says she is not safe.
+
+Ben is sad. He wishes Anna had listened to him. He wishes they had stayed on the small slide. He wishes they had been patient. He hopes Anna will be okay. He hopes she will not do it again. He hopes she will learn to be safe.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the yard. They had a big box and some rope. They wanted to make a fort.
+
+"Let's tie the rope to the box and the tree," Ben said. "Then we can have a door."
+
+"OK," Mia said. "You tie this end and I'll tie that end."
+
+They worked hard to tie the rope. They made a knot and pulled it tight. They were happy with their fort.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a saw. Someone was cutting wood next door. The saw made a scary sound. It went vroom vroom vroom.
+
+Ben and Mia were afraid. They ran to the box and hid inside. They closed the door.
+
+"Shh," Ben said. "Maybe the saw will go away."
+
+"I don't like the saw," Mia said. "It's too scary."
+
+They hugged each other and waited. They hoped the saw would stop soon. They wanted to play in their fort.
+Lily and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and rain. They sighed and went to their room.
+
+"Let's play dress up!" Lily said. She liked to wear different clothes and pretend to be someone else. She opened the closet and took out a big hat, a long coat and a scarf. "I am a detective!" she said. She put on the clothes and looked in the mirror.
+
+Ben smiled and joined her. He found a pair of sunglasses, a leather jacket and a guitar. "I am a rock star!" he said. He put on the clothes and looked in the mirror.
+
+They laughed and made up stories about their characters. They pretended to solve mysteries and sing songs. They forgot about the gloomy day and had fun.
+
+Their mom came to check on them. She saw them in their funny clothes and smiled. "You two look great!" she said. "What are you playing?"
+
+"We are a detective and a rock star!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"That sounds like a lot of fun!" their mom said. "Do you want to show me your skills?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They took their mom's hand and led her to the living room. They showed her their clues and their tunes. Their mom clapped and cheered. They all had a good time.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to go to camp with Mom and Dad. Camp is a place with a big tent, a fire, and many trees. They can play, sing, and eat marshmallows at camp.
+
+One night, Tom and Anna are in the tent with Mom and Dad. They are ready to sleep. But Tom is not sleepy. He wants to see the stars. He says to Anna, "Let's go outside and look at the stars. They are shiny and pretty."
+
+Anna says, "No, Tom. It is dark outside. Dark is scary. We might get lost. Mom and Dad will be mad. We should stay in the tent and sleep."
+
+Tom says, "No, Anna. It is not scary. It is fun. We can take a flashlight and a blanket. We can find a good spot to see the stars. Mom and Dad will not know. Come on, Anna. Please."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes to see the stars too. She says, "Okay, Tom. But we have to be quiet and careful. And we have to come back soon."
+
+Tom and Anna get out of the tent. They take a flashlight and a blanket. They walk in the dark. They reach a big rock. They climb on the rock. They spread the blanket. They lie down. They turn on the flashlight. They look at the stars.
+
+They see many stars. They are shiny and pretty. They make shapes and pictures. Tom and Anna point and name the shapes and pictures. They say, "Look, Anna. There is a bear. And there is a spoon. And there is a moon."
+
+They are happy and amazed. They forget about the time. They forget about the dark. They forget about Mom and Dad. They only see the stars.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. But sometimes they want to go outside and see the flowers and the birds. One day, they have a plan. They wait until Mom is busy in the kitchen. Then they sneak out of their room. They are very quiet. They do not want Mom to hear them.
+
+They go to the back door. It is locked. They look for the key. They find it on a hook. Ben reaches for it. He is taller than Lily. He gets the key and puts it in the lock. He turns it. The door opens. They smile at each other. They escape.
+
+They run to the garden. They see many colors and shapes. They smell the sweet air. They hear the chirping and the buzzing. They feel the sun and the breeze. They are happy. They pick some flowers. They make a crown for Lily and a necklace for Ben. They pretend they are king and queen of the garden.
+
+But then they hear a loud voice. It is Mom. She is angry. She sees them in the garden. She runs to them. She grabs them by their arms. She pulls them back to the house. She scolds them. She says they are naughty. They should not go outside without her. They could get hurt or lost. She says they have to stay in their room. She says they have to be quiet. She says they have to be tight. She means they have to hug each other and say sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They do not like to be scolded. They do not like to be in their room. They do not like to be quiet. They do not like to be tight. They want to be free. They want to be in the garden. They want to escape. But they know they cannot. They hug each other and say sorry. They hope Mom will forgive them. They hope they can go outside again. They hope they can play in their room. They hope they can have fun. They hope they can be happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys: boats, ducks, cups, and bubbles. They make waves and splash each other. They are cheerful and laugh a lot.
+
+But one day, they have a problem. The water goes down the drain too fast. They cannot play anymore. They are sad and cry. They do not know what to do.
+
+Mama hears them and comes to the bathroom. She sees the water is gone and the toys are wet. She smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me."
+
+She takes them to the kitchen. She fills a big tub with warm water. She puts some soap and food coloring in it. She says, "This is your new bath. You can play with your toys here. And look, the water is colorful and bubbly. Isn't it fun?"
+
+Anna and Ben are happy again. They jump into the tub and play with their toys. They make waves and splash each other. They are cheerful and laugh a lot. They do not care about the drain anymore. They have a new bath. They have a good mama. They have a lot of fun.
+Rex was a big dog who loved to play with his bone. He liked to dig holes in the yard and hide his bone there. He thought no one could find his bone, but he was wrong.
+
+One day, a nosy bird saw Rex digging a hole. The bird flew down and pecked at the bone. Rex barked and chased the bird away. He was very angry. He decided to mail his bone to himself, so no one could touch it.
+
+He found a box and put his bone inside. He wrote his name on the box with a crayon. He dragged the box to the mailbox and pushed it inside. He was very proud. He waited for the mailman to come and take his bone.
+
+But the mailman did not come. Rex waited and waited. He got hungry and thirsty. He missed his bone. He wondered if he had made a mistake. He tried to get his box out of the mailbox, but it was stuck. He whimpered and scratched at the mailbox.
+
+"Rex, what are you doing?" his owner asked. He came out of the house and saw Rex's box in the mailbox. He read Rex's name on the box and laughed. He opened the mailbox and took out the box. He opened the box and saw Rex's bone.
+
+"Rex, you silly dog, you can't mail your bone to yourself!" he said. He gave Rex his bone and a hug. He gave Rex some water and a treat. Rex was happy. He decided to keep his bone in his house, where it was safe and warm. He learned his lesson. He was not nosy anymore.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big cake and some flowers on a table. They hear music and people clapping.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asks.
+
+"I think it is a marriage," Ben says.
+
+"What is a marriage?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe it is when two people love each other and share a cake."
+
+Anna nods. "That sounds nice. Do you want to share a cake with me?"
+
+Ben smiles. "Yes, I do. You are my best friend."
+
+They run to the table and grab a piece of cake each. They eat it fast and lick their fingers.
+
+"Yummy!" Anna says.
+
+"Yummy!" Ben agrees.
+
+They see a woman in a white dress and a man in a black suit. They are holding hands and smiling.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the woman says. "Did you enjoy the cake?"
+
+"Yes, thank you," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Are you here for the marriage?" the man asks.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They nod.
+
+"Yes, we are," they say.
+
+The woman and the man laugh. They bend down and hug them.
+
+"That's wonderful," the woman says. "You are very sweet. Do you know what a marriage is?"
+
+Anna and Ben shake their heads.
+
+The woman and the man explain. "A marriage is when two people promise to love each other and take care of each other. They become a family. They celebrate with their friends and family and have a cake."
+
+Anna and Ben listen. They think. They understand.
+
+"Oh, I see," Anna says.
+
+"Me too," Ben says.
+
+They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"Can we be a family too?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben nods. "Yes, we can. We love each other and take care of each other. We are friends."
+
+They hug each other. They are happy.
+
+The woman and the man smile. They are happy too.
+
+They invite Anna and Ben to join them for the dance. They dance slow and fast. They have fun.
+
+They are a family.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed them.
+
+"Look, I have some bread. Let's drop it in the water and see what happens," Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the edge," Jen says.
+
+They break the bread into small pieces and throw them into the pond. The ducks and fish come to eat them. Tom and Jen are happy. They laugh and clap.
+
+"Can I drop more bread?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, but don't use all of it. We need some for lunch," Jen says.
+
+Tom takes a big piece of bread and walks to the edge of the pond. He leans over to drop it. But he slips and falls into the water. Splash!
+
+"Tom! Tom!" Jen screams. She runs to help him. But the water is deep and cold. Tom can't swim. He sinks and disappears.
+
+Jen cries and calls for help. But no one hears her. She is alone and scared. The ducks and fish swim away. The bread floats on the water. The sun is mild, but Jen feels cold. She wishes Tom was with her. She wishes they never played in the pond. She wishes they went home.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play. He has many toys in his room. He has cars, balls, books and a teddy bear. He loves his teddy bear very much. He sleeps with it every night.
+
+One day, Tom is playing with his cars on the floor. He hears a loud noise from outside. He runs to the window and sees a big truck. The truck is carrying many boxes. Tom is curious. He wants to see what is in the boxes. He thinks maybe there are more toys.
+
+He puts on his shoes and runs to the door. He tries to open the door, but it is locked. He pushes and pulls, but the door does not move. He feels weak. He cannot open the door. He is sad and angry. He wants to go outside and see the truck.
+
+He looks around his room. He sees his teddy bear on the bed. He has an idea. He grabs his teddy bear and runs to the door. He throws his teddy bear at the door. He hopes the teddy bear will make the door open.
+
+But the teddy bear is soft and light. It does not make the door open. It bounces off the door and falls on the floor. Tom is more sad and angry. He cries and screams. He wants his teddy bear and he wants to see the truck.
+
+He hears a voice from downstairs. It is his mom. She hears Tom crying and screaming. She runs upstairs and sees Tom on the floor. She sees the teddy bear and the door. She understands what happened. She hugs Tom and says sorry. She unlocks the door and opens it. She takes Tom and his teddy bear outside. She shows him the truck and the boxes. She tells him they are moving to a new house. She says they will have a bigger room and more toys. Tom is happy. He smiles and says thank you. He hugs his mom and his teddy bear. He finds a new friend in the truck driver. He helps him unload the boxes. He is excited to see his new house.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play dress-up. One day, they found a big box of old clothes and hats in the attic. They tried on different outfits and pretended to be different people. Lily put on a long dress and a hat with feathers. Tom put on a suit and a hat with a brim. He also found a fake mustache and stuck it on his face.
+
+"Look at me, Lily, I am a fancy man!" Tom said in a deep voice. He walked around the room and tipped his hat to Lily.
+
+"You look funny, Tom, with that mustache!" Lily giggled. She twirled in her dress and pretended to be a lady.
+
+They had fun playing dress-up until they heard their mom calling them for lunch. They quickly took off the clothes and hats and put them back in the box. But Tom forgot to take off his mustache. He ran downstairs with Lily, not noticing the fuzzy thing on his face.
+
+When they got to the kitchen, their mom saw them and smiled. She gave them each a hug and a kiss. But when she kissed Tom, she felt something tickle her nose. She looked at Tom and saw his mustache.
+
+"Tom, what is that on your face?" she asked, surprised.
+
+Tom touched his face and felt his mustache. He remembered that he had not taken it off. He felt worried. He thought his mom would be angry with him for playing with the fake mustache.
+
+"It's a mustache, mom," he said in a small voice. "I was playing dress-up with Lily. I'm sorry, I forgot to take it off."
+
+His mom looked at him and then at Lily. She saw that they were both wearing light clothes that did not match their outfits. She realized that they had been playing in the attic. She was not angry. She was amused.
+
+She laughed and hugged Tom again. "It's okay, Tom, you don't have to be sorry. You and Lily are very creative and funny. I like your mustache. It suits you. But maybe you should take it off before you eat your lunch. It might get in the way of your sandwich."
+
+Tom smiled and took off his mustache. He was happy that his mom was not mad at him. He gave his mustache to Lily and they both laughed. They sat down at the table and ate their lunch. They told their mom about their dress-up adventure and she listened with interest. They had a good time together.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different colors and shapes. They liked to sort them into groups. Lily sorted the red toys and Tom sorted the blue toys.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw water everywhere. It was raining hard and the street was like a river. They saw cars and bikes and trash floating in the water. They were scared. It was a flood.
+
+"Mama, mama, what is happening?" Lily cried.
+
+Mama came and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. It is a flood. It happens when there is too much rain and the water has nowhere to go. We are safe inside our house. The water will go away soon."
+
+"But what about our toys?" Tom asked. "Will they get wet and ruined?"
+
+Mama smiled and said, "No, they won't. You sorted them very well. They are all on the shelves and the table. The water can't reach them. You are very smart and careful."
+
+Lily and Tom felt better. They watched the flood from the window. They saw some wild animals running away from the water. They saw a duck swimming happily in the water. They saw a rainbow in the sky. They hoped the flood would end soon and everything would be normal again. They hugged mama and each other. They were glad they had each other and their toys.
+Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car. They pretended to be famous drivers and raced around the yard.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the street. He had a shiny blue bike. He rode very fast and made loud noises. Tim and Lily wanted to play with him, but he did not stop.
+
+"Who is he?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is a famous bike rider," Lily said.
+
+"Let's go and talk to him," Tim said.
+
+They ran after the boy, but he was too fast. They could not catch him.
+
+"Hey, wait for us!" Tim shouted.
+
+"Can we play with you?" Lily asked.
+
+The boy stopped and looked at them. He had a big smile.
+
+"Sure, you can play with me. My name is Ben. What are your names?" he said.
+
+"I'm Tim and this is Lily. We like your bike. It is very cool," Tim said.
+
+"Thank you. I like your car. It is very fun," Ben said.
+
+"Do you want to race with us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. But you have to believe in yourself. You can be as fast as me if you try hard," Ben said.
+
+"OK, we will believe in ourselves. Let's race!" Tim said.
+
+They lined up their bike and car at the start. They counted to three and zoomed away. They had a great race. They laughed and cheered. They became friends. They played together every day. They were happy.
+Tim and Sam like to play golf with Dad. They have small sticks and balls. They hit the balls on the grass. They try to put the balls in the holes. Dad says they are good.
+
+One day, a big black dog comes to the grass. He runs and barks. He likes the balls. He takes the balls in his mouth. He runs away with the balls. Tim and Sam are sad. They want their balls back.
+
+Dad says, "Don't worry. We can get more balls. But we have to leave now. The dog is not nice. He might bite us." Tim and Sam nod. They hold Dad's hand. They leave the grass. They go to the car.
+
+They see the dog again. He is in the car park. He has many balls. He drops the balls on the ground. He looks at Tim and Sam. He wags his tail. He wants to play.
+
+Dad says, "No, thank you. We have to go home. Maybe you can find another friend to play with." He puts Tim and Sam in the car. He drives away. The dog watches them go. He picks up a ball. He runs to the grass. He is happy.
+Lucy loved to admire her grandma's tea set. It was shiny and pretty, with flowers and birds on it. Grandma said it was very old and special, and she only used it for special guests. Lucy wished she could be a special guest and drink tea with grandma.
+
+One day, grandma said she had a surprise for Lucy. She took her to the living room, where the tea set was on a small table. "Today, you are my special guest, Lucy," grandma said with a smile. "We are going to have a tea party, just you and me."
+
+Lucy was so happy and excited. She put on a fancy hat and a necklace that grandma gave her. She sat down on a chair and waited for grandma to pour the tea. Grandma was very gentle and careful with the tea set. She filled two cups with hot water and added some honey and milk. She gave one cup to Lucy and said, "Be careful, it's hot. And don't spill it, or it will stain the tablecloth."
+
+Lucy nodded and held the cup with both hands. She blew on it to cool it down, and then took a small sip. It was sweet and warm, and it made her feel cozy. She said, "Thank you, grandma. This is the best tea ever. I love your tea set. It's so beautiful."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lucy. I'm glad you like it. You know, this tea set was a gift from my grandma, when I was a little girl like you. She taught me how to make tea and how to be polite and kind. She was a very special lady, and I miss her a lot. But every time I use this tea set, I think of her and I feel happy."
+
+Lucy listened to grandma's story and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "Grandma, you are very special too. And I love you a lot. Can we have tea parties more often?"
+
+Grandma hugged Lucy and said, "Of course, my dear. We can have tea parties whenever you want. You are my special guest, always."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and dolls and books. They also liked to draw with crayons and make pictures of their favorite things.
+
+One day, they had a big box of crayons with many colors. Lily wanted to use the red crayon, but Ben had it. Lily asked Ben to share, but Ben said no. He wanted to draw a fire truck with the red crayon. Lily got angry and grabbed the crayon from Ben. Ben got angry too and pushed Lily. The crayon broke in half and fell on the floor.
+
+They both started to cry and yell at each other. They said mean words and hurt each other's feelings. They did not want to be friends anymore.
+
+Their teacher, Miss Rose, heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken crayon and the sad faces of Lily and Ben. She asked them what happened and listened to their story. She said, "I'm sorry you had a fight. Fighting is not nice. It makes you and your friend unhappy. Do you want to be happy again?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to be happy again. They wanted to be friends again.
+
+Miss Rose said, "Then you need to forgive each other. Forgiving means saying sorry and letting go of the anger. Forgiving means being kind and understanding. Forgiving means giving another chance. Can you forgive each other?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They remembered how much they liked to play together. They felt sorry for what they did and said. They said, "I'm sorry, I forgive you." They hugged and smiled.
+
+Miss Rose smiled too. She said, "That's very good. I'm proud of you. You are very good friends. Now, why don't you share the crayons and draw something together? You can use any color you want. There are many colors in the box. They are all beautiful and special. Just like you."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They picked up the crayons and started to draw. They used red and blue and green and yellow and purple and pink and orange and brown and black and white. They made a big picture of a rainbow and a sun and a flower and a heart. They wrote their names and "Best Friends" on it. They gave it to Miss Rose as a gift.
+
+Miss Rose thanked them and hung it on the wall. She said, "This is a wonderful picture. It shows how much you love each other and how much you love colors. Colors make the world bright and happy. Just like you."
+
+Lily and Ben felt happy. They thanked Miss Rose and went back to play. They shared the crayons and the blocks and the dolls and the books. They had fun and laughed and talked. They were best friends again.
+
+They were ordinary children, but they had extraordinary hearts.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to a big tree and hid behind it. He hoped Lily would not find him.
+
+Lily looked around and saw a water fountain. She was thirsty, so she went to drink some water. She did not see Ben behind the tree. She drank and drank until she felt better.
+
+Ben saw Lily drinking water. He thought it was his chance to surprise her. He sneaked out from behind the tree and ran to Lily. He shouted, "Boo!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped her cup and spilled water on her dress. She turned around and saw Ben. She was angry. She said, "Ben, you are mean! You made me wet and scared!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily angry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Lily looked at Ben. She saw he was sorry. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, don't scare me like that."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Do you want to play some more?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, let's play some more. But first, let's find a safe and hidden place to hide. I don't want anyone to scare us again."
+
+They held hands and ran to find a new hiding spot. They were happy and had fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their new toy. It was a magic wand that could make things happen. They waved it and said funny words, and the wand made a lot of noise and light.
+
+"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. "Let's try to make a spell on that bird!"
+
+She pointed the wand at a blue bird that was sitting on a branch. She said, "Bird, bird, fly away, come back another day!"
+
+The wand made a loud sound and a bright flash. The bird flew away, but not before it dropped a big poop on Lily's head.
+
+"Eww, gross!" Lily screamed. "That was a bad spell!"
+
+Ben laughed and said, "That was funny! Let's try another one!"
+
+He pointed the wand at a red car that was parked on the street. He said, "Car, car, go fast, make a big blast!"
+
+The wand made a louder sound and a brighter flash. The car started to move, but not before it hit a fire hydrant and made a big splash of water.
+
+"Wow, cool!" Ben shouted. "That was a good spell!"
+
+Lily frowned and said, "That was not cool! That was dangerous! You could have hurt someone!"
+
+Ben shrugged and said, "It was just a game. Don't be a baby!"
+
+He pointed the wand at a yellow dog that was walking by. He said, "Dog, dog, bark loud, make a big crowd!"
+
+The wand made the loudest sound and the brightest flash. The dog started to bark, but not before it bit Ben's leg and made him cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben screamed. "That was a bad spell!"
+
+Lily ran to him and said, "Are you okay? I told you to be careful!"
+
+She pointed the wand at the dog and said, "Dog, dog, be nice, release Ben's leg!"
+
+The wand made a soft sound and a dim flash. The dog let go of Ben's leg and licked his face.
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Ben said. "You are a good friend!"
+
+He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry I was mean to you. I learned my lesson. Magic is not a toy. We should be kind and respectful to everyone and everything."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you're okay. I learned my lesson too. Magic is not a game. We should be careful and responsible with what we have."
+
+They put the wand away and went home. They never played with it again. They were happy and wise.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big yellow slide. They take turns and laugh. But the slide is wet from the rain. Lily does not see the water.
+
+"Look at me, Ben!" Lily says. She runs to the slide and climbs up. She sits on the top and gets ready to slide. But she slips on the water and falls down. She bumps her head on the slide. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says. She holds her head. Ben runs to her and hugs her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks. He is worried.
+
+Lily nods. She is brave. But her head hurts. She sees a man in a blue uniform. He has a badge and a hat. He is a law man. He helps people.
+
+"Hello, children," the law man says. He smiles. He sees Lily's head. He has a band-aid in his pocket. He gives it to Lily.
+
+"Here, this will make you feel better," he says. He puts the band-aid on Lily's head. He is gentle.
+
+"Thank you, law man," Lily says. She smiles. The band-aid has a star on it. She likes it.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily," the law man says. He looks at Ben. "You're a good friend, Ben. You helped Lily."
+
+"Thank you, law man," Ben says. He smiles too.
+
+The law man waves and leaves. Lily and Ben hold hands. They walk to the swings. They are careful. They do not slip again. They have fun. They are happy.
+Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Ted. Ted loved to sleep in his cozy cave. One day, Ted woke up and he had a wish. He wished he could find some honey to eat. So, he went outside and walked slow through the forest. 
+
+As he walked, he saw a bee buzzing by. Ted followed the bee and it led him to a big tree with lots of honey. Ted was so happy! He ate all the honey he could and then went back to his cave to sleep. 
+
+Ted slept so soundly that night, dreaming of all the honey he had eaten. He was grateful for his wish coming true and knew he would have sweet dreams for a long time.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his bucket. He would fill it with sand and water and bounce it up and down. Timmy's mom always made sure he was safe when he played.
+
+One day, Timmy went to the park with his bucket. He wanted to bounce it on the big trampoline. But he didn't see the sign that said "No buckets allowed." Timmy bounced and bounced, but then he lost control of his bucket. It flew off the trampoline and hit a little girl in the head.

+
+After they finished cooking, they sat down to eat at the table. Lily saw a tower of pancakes on her plate and her eyes got big. She said, "Look at that tower of pancakes! Yum!" Her mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it." 
+
+As they ate, Lily noticed her mom looked sad. She asked, "Mommy, why are you sad?" Her mom said, "I had a long day at work today." Lily gave her a big hug and said, "I love you, Mommy. Maybe we can make a tower of pancakes again tomorrow and it will make you happy." Her mom smiled and said, "That's a great idea. You always make me happy."

+
+Lily's mommy tried to find the way back home, but everything looked the same. They walked and walked, and Lily was getting scared. But then, they heard a voice from a distant place. It was a kind man who told them which way to go. They followed his directions and soon they were back home, safe and sound. 
+
+Lily was very happy and told her daddy all about their adventure in the forest. From that day on, she always remembered to be careful when going for a walk in the forest.

From that day on, Timmy knew that not all big animals were scary and that sometimes, bravery comes in unexpected forms.

+One day, they saw something shiny in the dirt. They dug it out and saw that it was a metal ball with a button on it. They wondered what it was.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy," Sara said. "Let's press the button and see what happens."

+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. She saw their tears and hugged them.
+
+"What happened, my loves?" she asked.
+
+"We found a ball in the dirt and it had a light that hurt us," Sara said.
+
+"We are sorry, mom, we did not know," Tom said.
+
+Mom looked at the ball and recognized it as a flashlight. She explained to them that it was a tool that people use to see in the dark, and that they should not play with it without asking.
+
+She also told them that they should be careful when they discover new things, and that they should always ask an adult before they touch them.
+
+She gave them a kiss and a cookie, and told them to go back to their bucket.

+
+"Oh no, the ball is broken!" Lily says. She picks up the ball. It is soft and floppy. She feels sorry for the ball.
+
+"Maybe we can fix it," Ben says. He has an idea. He takes the ball from Lily. He puts it on the grass. He rubs it with his hands. He gives it a massage.
+
+"Does this help, ball?" Ben asks. He hopes the ball will be happy again.
+
+The ball does not answer. But it feels a little better. It is not so flat and sad. It is a bit round and happy.
+
+"Look, the ball is better!" Lily says. She sees the ball is not so floppy. She touches it. It is a bit firm and shiny.
+
+"Wow, you did it, Ben!" Lily says. She hugs Ben. He hugs her back. They are happy.

+
+"Hey, kids, move away from the flower!" Mom says.
+
+"Why, Mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Because that is not a flower, Sara. That is a dandelion. It is a weed. It can make the lawn dirty and brown. We have to get rid of it." Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They do not understand. They think the dandelion is a flower. They think it is beautiful. They do not want Mom to spray it.
+
+"Please, Mom, do not spray the dandelion. We like it. It is our friend. It makes us happy." Ben says.
+
+Mom looks at Sara and Ben. She sees their big eyes and their sad faces. She feels sorry for them. She puts down the hose. She hugs them.
+
+"Okay, okay, I will not spray the dandelion. You can keep it. But only this one, okay? The other weeds have to go. They can hurt the other flowers. They can stop them from blooming." Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They are happy. They thank Mom. They go back to the dandelion. They talk to it. They tell it their names. They tell it they are its friends. They tell it they will protect it. They hope it will bloom again.

It is very big, but very gentle. It does not eat people or fish. It eats tiny things that you can't see. It is a friend of the sea."
+
+Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see the whale shark better. Their dad said, "If you want, we can go on a boat and get closer to the whale shark. But we have to be very quiet and slow, so we don't scare it away."
+
+Tom and Lily agreed and got on the boat with their mom and dad. They wore life jackets and hats and sunglasses. They sailed on the water and looked for the whale shark. Soon, they saw it again. It was shining in the sun. It had spots and stripes on its skin. It was very beautiful.
+
+Tom and Lily leaned over the boat and waved at the whale shark. The whale shark saw them and swam closer. It opened its big mouth and smiled. It made a noise like a whistle. Tom and Lily laughed and said, "Hello, whale shark! You are very nice and pretty. Thank you for letting us see you."
+
+The whale shark nodded and swam away. Tom and Lily watched it until it disappeared. They were happy and amazed. They said, "That was the best thing ever! We love the whale shark!"

+
+"I cut myself by accident. It hurts a lot. I need to go to the doctor," his mom says.
+
+"Can I come with you?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, honey. But we need to hurry. Grab your staff and your coat. We'll take a taxi to the hospital," his mom says.
+
+Ben does what his mom says. He picks up his staff and his coat and follows her outside. He sees a yellow car with a sign on top. His mom waves at the car and it stops. They get in and the driver asks where they want to go.
+
+"To the hospital, please. It's an emergency," his mom says.
+
+The driver nods and drives fast. Ben holds his mom's hand and his staff. He hopes his mom will be okay. He thinks maybe his staff can help her. He waves it and says "Abracadabra!" He wishes his mom's hand will stop hurting and heal. He thinks maybe magic is real.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many acorns on the ground. Lila picked up an acorn and said, "Look, Ben, this is an acorn. It is from the tree. It can grow into a new tree."
+
+Ben took the acorn from Lila and said, "How do you know? Maybe it is dead. Maybe it cannot grow."
+
+Lila said, "No, it is not dead. It is alive. We can test it. We can plant it in the dirt and see if it grows."
+
+Ben said, "Okay, let's test it. Where can we plant it?"
+
+Lila looked around and saw a small patch of dirt near the slide. She said, "There, we can plant it there. Come on, Ben, let's go."

+
+"Did you take a picture of me?" Lily asks.

+She called her mom. "Mom, I can't reach the nest. Can you help me?"
+
+Her mom looked up and saw her. She said, "Lila, you are very brave to climb so high. But you don't need to reach the nest. The nest belongs to the birds.

+"You're welcome," he said. "But you should be more careful. You should not sail on the pond without an adult. And you should not take things that are not yours. That trumpet belongs to your dad. He might be angry if he sees that you wet it."
+
+The boys felt sorry and ashamed. They thanked the man and his dog again and took their boat and trumpet back to the garage. They learned their lesson and never sailed on the pond without an adult again. They also learned to respect their dad's things and not take them without asking. They realized that the man and his dog were very kind and wise. They wanted to be like them when they grew up.
+Tim and Mia are playing with cubes. They have many cubes of different colors and shapes. They like to build towers and bridges with the cubes.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a big tower!" Tim says, showing his cube tower to Mia.
+
+"Wow, Tim, your tower is very tall and pretty!" Mia says, clapping her hands. "Can I help you make it taller?"
+
+"Yes, Mia, you can help me. Here, take this cube and put it on top." Tim says, handing Mia a blue cube.
+
+Mia takes the cube and tries to put it on top of the tower. But the tower is too tall and wobbly. The cube falls down and hits the floor.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, you made the tower fall!" Tim says, feeling sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim, I didn't mean to!" Mia says, feeling sorry too.
+
+They look at the floor and see the cubes scattered everywhere. They also see something else. A big, brown, furry thing is eating one of the cubes.
+
+"Hey, that's my cube!" Tim says, pointing at the thing.
+
+"What is that thing?" Mia says, feeling scared.
+
+The thing looks up and sees Tim and Mia. It has a big nose, a long tail, and sharp teeth. It is a rat.
+
+The rat makes a squeaky noise and runs away with the cube in its mouth.
+
+"Come back, rat, give me back my cube!" Tim says, running after the rat.
+
+"Tim, wait, don't go!" Mia says, running after Tim.
+
+They chase the rat around the room, but the rat is too fast and clever. It hides under the sofa, behind the curtain, and in the closet.
+
+"Where did it go?" Tim says, looking around.
+
+"I don't know, Tim, maybe it's gone." Mia says, feeling tired.
+
+They go back to their cubes and see that some of them have bite marks on them.
+
+"Look, Mia, the rat ate some of our cubes!" Tim says, feeling angry.
+
+"That's not nice, rat, our cubes are not for eating!" Mia says, feeling angry too.
+
+They pick up their cubes and try to fix them. They also find some new cubes that the rat didn't eat.
+
+"Tim, look, I found a yellow cube. It's your favorite color." Mia says, giving the cube to Tim.
+
+"Thank you, Mia, you are very kind. I found a pink cube. It's your favorite color." Tim says, giving the cube to Mia.
+
+They smile and hug each other. They forget about the rat and the fallen tower. They start to build a new tower with their cubes.
+
+"Tim, Mia, lunch time!" Mom says, calling them from the kitchen.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we're coming!" Tim and Mia say, leaving their cubes on the floor.
+
+They run to the kitchen and see that Mom has made them sandwiches and juice.
+
+"Wow, Mom, this looks delicious!" Tim says, feeling hungry.
+
+"Yes, Mom, thank you, this smells delicious!" Mia says, feeling hungry too.
+
+They sit down and eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They enjoy their lunch and talk to Mom.
+
+"Mom, do you know what happened to our cubes?" Tim says, telling Mom about the rat.
+
+"Mom, do you know what the rat was doing with our cubes?" Mia says, asking Mom about the rat.
+
+Mom listens to their story and smiles.
+
+"Tim, Mia, the rat was probably hungry too. Maybe it thought your cubes were food. Maybe it liked the taste of your cubes." Mom says, explaining to them.
+
+"But, Mom, our cubes are not food. Our cubes are for playing." Tim says, feeling confused.
+
+"Yes, Mom, our cubes are not delicious. Our cubes are for building." Mia says, feeling confused too.
+
+Mom nods and hugs them.
+
+"I know, Tim, Mia, your cubes are not food. Your cubes are for playing and building. But the rat doesn't know that. The rat has a different way of seeing things. The rat has a different way of eating things." Mom says, teaching them.
+
+"Oh, I see, Mom. The rat is different from us." Tim says, feeling curious.
+
+"Yes, I see, Mom. The rat is different from us." Mia says, feeling curious too.
+
+Mom smiles and kisses them.
+
+"Yes, Tim, Mia, the rat is different from us. But that's okay. We can still be kind to the rat. We can still share some of our food with the rat. Maybe the rat will like our food better than our cubes. Maybe the rat will be our friend." Mom says, encouraging them.
+
+"Really, Mom? We can be kind to the rat? We can share our food with the rat? We can be friends with the rat
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to look inside.
+
+"Can I lend your bucket?" Ben asks Mia. "I want to dig the hole bigger."
+
+"OK," Mia says. "But be careful. The hole might be deep."
+
+Ben takes the bucket and starts to dig. He makes the hole bigger and bigger. He finds some rocks and some worms. He is proud of his work.
+
+Mia watches Ben. She is bored. She wants to play with the bucket too. She sees a small hill near the hole. She has an idea.
+
+She runs to the hill and climbs on top. She holds the bucket in her hands. She shouts to Ben.
+
+"Look at me, Ben! I can fly!"
+
+She jumps off the hill with the bucket. She pretends the bucket is a wing. She feels the wind in her hair. She is proud of her jump.
+
+But she lands too hard. The bucket breaks. She falls on the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries.
+
+Ben hears Mia cry. He stops digging. He runs to Mia. He sees the broken bucket. He is sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia says. "I broke your bucket. I wanted to fly."
+
+"It's OK, Mia," Ben says. "I'm sorry, too. I took your bucket for too long. I wanted to dig."
+
+They hug each other. They are friends. They share their rocks and their worms. They forget about the hole and the bucket. They are happy.
+Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red cloth and a tin of wax. She rubbed the wax on her shoes and then made them shiny with the cloth. She felt very proud of her shoes.
+
+One day, she saw a loose thread on her shoe. She pulled the thread, but it did not come off. It only got longer and longer. She pulled harder and harder, but the thread did not stop. It came out of her shoe and made a big pile on the floor.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Lily cried. "You are ruining my shoe!"
+
+But the thread did not listen. It kept coming out of her shoe and made a bigger pile on the floor. Lily was scared and sad. She did not know what to do.
+
+Then, she heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Ben. He had a charming smile and a big hat. He saw Lily and the thread and said, "Wow, what a mess! What happened?"
+
+Lily told him about the thread and how it did not stop. Ben said, "Don't worry, I have an idea. Let's make something with the thread. Maybe a scarf, or a hat, or a doll."
+
+Lily liked Ben's idea. She dried her tears and smiled. She said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds fun."
+
+They picked up the thread and started to twist it and tie it and shape it. They made a scarf, a hat, and a doll. They put them on and laughed. They looked very silly and happy.
+
+Lily forgot about her shoe. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You made me feel better."
+
+Ben said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. You have very shiny shoes."
+Lily likes to go to the park with her mom. She likes to see the birds, the flowers and the swings. But her favorite thing is to look for lizards. She thinks they are funny and fast.
+
+One day, she sees a big lizard on a rock. It has green scales and a long tail. Lily wants to touch it. She is very nosy. She walks slowly to the lizard and says, "Hello, lizard. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The lizard hears Lily and turns around. It does not like to be bothered. It opens its mouth and hisses. It shows its sharp teeth. Lily is scared. She runs back to her mom and cries.
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lily. The lizard was just scared too. You should not touch wild animals. They might bite you. They like to be left alone."
+
+Lily nods and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the lizard. I won't do it again."
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "That's good, Lily. You are a smart girl. Now, let's go and play on the swings. Maybe we can see some friendly birds."
+Lily and Tom were eager to watch a movie with their mom and dad. They had picked a funny movie with animals and songs. But first, they had to help mom cook dinner. Mom said they could make pizza, their favorite food.
+
+Lily and Tom put on their aprons and washed their hands. Mom gave them some dough and a rolling pin. They rolled the dough into a big circle on the table. Then they spread some sauce and cheese on top. Mom let them choose some toppings from a bowl. Lily picked olives and mushrooms. Tom picked ham and pineapple.
+
+"Good job, kids!" Mom said. "Now we put the pizza in the oven and wait for it to bake. Then we can watch the movie."
+
+Lily and Tom were very excited. They set the table with plates and napkins. They poured some juice into glasses. They asked dad to turn on the TV and find the movie. They could hear the pizza sizzling in the oven.
+
+"Ding!" The oven timer rang. Mom took out the pizza and cut it into slices. She put some on a big plate and brought it to the living room. "Dinner is ready!" She said.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the couch and grabbed some pizza. They thanked mom and dad for the yummy food. They started to watch the movie. They laughed and sang along with the animals. They had a lot of fun. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl in the park. She has a big pot with her. The pot is shiny and red.
+
+"Hello, what is your name?" Sara asks the new girl.
+
+"My name is Lily. This is my pot. I use it to make music." Lily says. She bangs the pot with a spoon. It makes a loud sound.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice pot. Can we play with you?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can play with me. But you have to share the pot. It is my favorite thing." Lily says.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They take turns to bang the pot with the spoon. They make a lot of noise. They laugh and sing.
+
+But Tom is not happy. He is envious. He wants the pot for himself. He thinks it is not fair that Lily has such a big and shiny pot. He waits until Lily is not looking. Then he runs and grabs the pot. He runs away with it.
+
+"Hey, that is my pot! Give it back!" Lily shouts.
+
+"Stop, Tom! That is not nice!" Sara and Ben shout.
+
+They chase after Tom. They catch him and take the pot back. They give it to Lily. They are angry with Tom.
+
+"Tom, you are mean. You cannot take things that are not yours. You have to say sorry to Lily." Sara says.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I was envious. I wanted your pot. But I know it is wrong. Can you forgive me?" Tom says.
+
+Lily is sad. But she is also kind. She thinks for a moment. Then she says:
+
+"Okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to promise to be nice and share. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Tom nods. He is sorry. He wants to be friends. He says:
+
+"Yes, please. I want to play with you. Thank you, Lily."
+
+Lily smiles. She gives Tom the spoon. She says:
+
+"Here, you can bang the pot with me. But be careful. It is loud."
+
+They all play together. They make music with the pot. They have fun. They are friends.
+Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play on the farm with their grandpa. Grandpa has a mule named Max. Max is big and brown and has long ears. He is very slow and likes to eat grass.
+
+One day, Ben and Jen want to help grandpa cut the hay. They ask grandpa if they can ride on Max. Grandpa says yes, but they have to be careful and hold on tight. He gives them a big hat and a small knife each. He tells them to cut the hay that is dry and yellow.
+
+Ben and Jen climb on Max and grandpa leads him to the field. They see the hay that is dry and yellow. They start to cut the hay with their small knives. They put the hay in a big basket that is on Max's back. They are having fun and they sing a song.
+
+But Max is very slow and he does not like to work. He sees some grass that is green and juicy. He stops and starts to eat the grass. Ben and Jen try to make him move, but he does not listen. He eats and eats and eats. He does not care about the hay.
+
+Grandpa sees that Max is not moving. He comes to see what is wrong. He sees that Max is eating the grass and that Ben and Jen are stuck on his back. He laughs and says, "Max, you are a lazy mule! You have to finish your job before you can eat!" He pulls Max by the rope and makes him move. He helps Ben and Jen cut the rest of the hay. He says, "You did a good job, Ben and Jen! You are very helpful and brave!" He gives them a hug and a cookie. Ben and Jen are happy and they say, "Thank you, grandpa! We love you and we love Max!"
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they brought their sandwiches to have a picnic. Lily had a cheese sandwich and Ben had a ham sandwich. They were very hungry and happy.
+
+But then, a big dog came and sniffed their sandwiches. The dog barked and tried to grab them. Lily and Ben were scared and ran away. The dog ate their sandwiches and left.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They had no food and they felt embarrassed. They blamed each other for leaving their sandwiches. They said mean words and stopped being friends.
+
+A wise old lady saw what happened. She came to Lily and Ben and gave them some cookies. She said, "Don't be mad at each other. It was not your fault. The dog was naughty and greedy. You should be kind and forgiving. Friends are more important than sandwiches."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and hugged each other. They thanked the old lady and shared the cookies. They learned to be brave and friendly. They played in the park again and had fun.
+Anna and Ben love to play with their toy jet. It is red and shiny and makes a loud noise when they push a button. They pretend they are pilots and fly to different places.
+
+One day, they decide to fly to the zoo. They put on their helmets and sunglasses and get in the jet. Anna is the captain and Ben is the co-pilot. They say, "Ready for takeoff!"
+
+They zoom through the air and see many things. They see birds and clouds and houses and cars. They see a big river and a bridge. They see a park and a playground. They have fun and talk to each other.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is the zoo!" Anna says. "I see it, Anna, let's land there!" Ben says. They find a spot to park their jet and get out. They run to the gate and buy tickets.
+
+They see many animals at the zoo. They see lions and tigers and bears. They see monkeys and elephants and giraffes. They see penguins and seals and dolphins. They have more fun and learn new things.
+
+They are hungry and thirsty, so they go to the cafeteria. They see a lady who serves food and drinks. She is very nice and smiles at them. She says, "Hello, little pilots, what would you like to have?"
+
+They look at the menu and see many things. They see sandwiches and burgers and pizza. They see juice and milk and soda. They see cookies and cake and ice cream. They have a hard time choosing.
+
+Anna says, "I want a sandwich and juice, please." Ben says, "I want a burger and milk, please." The lady says, "OK, coming right up!" She makes their orders and gives them to them. She says, "Enjoy your meal and have a nice day!"
+
+They say, "Thank you, lady, you are very kind!" They take their trays and find a table. They eat their food and drink their drinks. They are happy and full.
+
+They say, "That was a good lunch, let's go see more animals!" They get up and throw away their trash. They put on their helmets and sunglasses and run back to their jet. They say, "Ready for takeoff!"
+
+They zoom through the air and see more things. They see a rainbow and a balloon. They see a castle and a ferris wheel. They see an enormous plane and a helicopter. They have more fun and talk to each other.
+
+They fly back home and land in their backyard. They get out of their jet and hug it. They say, "Thank you, jet, you are the best!" They take off their helmets and sunglasses and go inside. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They say, "We had a great day, we love our jet!"
+
+The end.
+Sara was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mom put a thermometer in her mouth to see how sick she was. Sara did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her gag. She wanted to spit it out, but Mom said no.
+
+"Be still, Sara. I need to see your temperature. You might have a fever," Mom said.
+
+Sara tried to be still, but she felt very weak. She wanted to lie down and sleep. She did not want to go to school or play with her toys. She just wanted Mom to hug her and make her feel better.
+
+But then she heard a noise. It was Max, her little brother. He was in her room, playing with her dolls. Sara loved her dolls. They were her best friends. She did not want Max to touch them. He was too rough and messy. He might break them or lose them.
+
+"Max, get out of my room! Those are my dolls!" Sara shouted. She jumped out of bed and ran to her room. She forgot about the thermometer in her mouth. It fell on the floor and broke.
+
+Mom heard the noise and followed Sara. She saw the broken thermometer and the angry children. She was very upset.
+
+"Sara, what have you done? You could have hurt yourself with the glass. And you left your door unlocked. Max could have taken anything from your room. You know you have to lock your door when you are sick," Mom scolded.
+
+Sara felt sorry. She did not mean to break the thermometer or leave her door unlocked. She was just mad at Max. She looked at Mom with big, sad eyes.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I was sick and weak and I wanted my dolls. Max was playing with them and I didn't like it," Sara said.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew Sara was sick and weak and she loved her dolls. She also knew Max was curious and bored and he wanted to play. She hugged both of them and said:
+
+"I'm sorry, too. I know you both feel bad. But you have to be careful and respectful. Sara, you have to keep the thermometer in your mouth and lock your door when you are sick. Max, you have to ask before you play with Sara's dolls and leave them as you found them. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara and Max nodded. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Mom smiled and said:
+
+"Good. Now, let's clean up this mess and get you both some juice. Maybe we can watch a movie together and cuddle on the couch. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara and Max smiled. They liked that idea. They followed Mom to the kitchen and forgot about their troubles. They felt a little better.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily found a big spoon and said, "Look, Tom, I have a magic spoon. It can make anything you want."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Really? Can it make me a cake?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, of course. Just close your eyes and wish hard."
+
+Tom closed his eyes and said, "I wish for a cake. A big, yummy cake with icing and sprinkles."
+
+Lily tapped the spoon on the counter and said, "Abracadabra, cake-a-dabra!"
+
+Tom opened his eyes and looked around. He did not see a cake. He saw a big, furry monster with sharp teeth and claws. It came out of the cupboard and roared at them.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They screamed and ran away from the monster. They hid behind the sofa and hugged each other.
+
+"Where did that monster come from?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe the spoon was not magic. Maybe it was bad."
+
+They heard the monster banging on the cupboard door. It wanted to get out and chase them.
+
+"What do we do?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe we can make it go away. Maybe we can use the spoon again and wish it away."
+
+Lily said, "Do you think it will work?"
+
+Tom said, "We can try. Come on, let's be brave."
+
+They crawled out from behind the sofa and grabbed the spoon. They held it together and said, "We wish for the monster to go away. We wish for the monster to go away. Abracadabra, monster-a-dabra!"
+
+They heard a loud poof and saw a cloud of smoke. The monster was gone. The cupboard was empty.
+
+Lily and Tom cheered and hugged each other. They said, "We did it! We made the monster go away!"
+
+They decided to put the spoon back in the drawer and never use it again. They said, "Maybe we don't need a magic spoon. Maybe we have enough magic in ourselves."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. They want to touch it.
+
+"Look, Sam, a balloon!" Tom says. "Let's go and get it!"
+
+"But how?" Sam asks. "It is too high."
+
+"Maybe we can climb a tree," Tom says. "Or find a ladder."
+
+They run to find a way to reach the balloon. They do not tell their moms where they are going. They do not see the old man who owns the balloon.
+
+The old man is angry. He does not like children. He does not want them to touch his balloon. He sees Tom and Sam running after it. He gets a big stick.
+
+"Hey, you, stop!" he yells. "That is my balloon! Go away!"
+
+But Tom and Sam do not hear him. They find a ladder near a house. They put it against a wall. They start to climb.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Sam says. "The ladder is old. It might break."
+
+"It's okay, Sam," Tom says. "We are almost there. I can see the balloon."
+
+He reaches out his hand to grab the balloon. But then, the ladder breaks. Tom falls down. He hits his head on the ground. He does not move.
+
+"Tom, Tom, wake up!" Sam cries. "Please, wake up!"
+
+But Tom does not wake up. He is hurt. He is bleeding. Sam is scared. He does not know what to do.
+
+The old man comes with his stick. He sees Tom on the ground. He sees Sam crying. He does not care. He is still angry.
+
+"Get away from my balloon!" he shouts. "You are bad children! You broke my ladder! You deserve to be punished!"
+
+He raises his stick to hit Sam. Sam screams. He tries to run. But it is too late.
+
+The end.
+Tom liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big truck. He liked to make the truck go vroom and honk. He liked to pretend he was a driver and he could go anywhere.
+
+One day, Tom saw a new toy in the store. It was a lab. A lab was a place where people did fun things with science. Tom wanted the lab very much. He asked his mom if he could have it. His mom said no. She said the lab was too expensive and they did not have enough money.
+
+Tom was sad. He wished he had more money. He wished he could buy the lab and do fun things with science. He thought maybe he could become wealthy. He thought maybe he could find a way to make money with his truck.
+
+He had an idea. He put a sign on his truck that said "Tom's Delivery Service". He asked his friends if they had anything they wanted to send to someone else. He said he would take it for them with his truck. He said they had to pay him a coin for each thing.
+
+Some of his friends liked his idea. They gave him things like books, toys, and cards. They gave him coins. Tom put the things in his truck and drove them to the other friends. He honked and said "Delivery for you!" He felt happy and proud.
+
+Soon, Tom had many coins. He counted them and saw he had enough to buy the lab. He ran to the store with his mom and bought the lab. He was very excited. He took the lab home and opened it. He saw many things inside, like tubes, bottles, and goggles. He put on the goggles and said "I am a scientist!"
+
+He played with the lab and did fun things with science. He mixed colors, made bubbles, and watched things change. He learned new things. He had fun. He was happy. He had become wealthy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy the swings, the slide and the ball. One day, they see a big man with a stick in his mouth. The stick makes smoke. The smoke smells bad.
+
+"Look, Sam, the man has a smoke stick. What is that?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is a toy. Maybe it is nice. Can we try it?" Sam says.
+
+They go to the man and ask him for the smoke stick. The man laughs and gives them the stick. He says it is fun and cool. Tom and Sam take turns to put the stick in their mouths. They cough and feel sick. The smoke hurts their eyes and noses.
+
+"Yuck, this is not nice. This is bad. I don't like the smoke stick. Let's go back to the park." Tom says.
+
+"Me too, Tom. The smoke stick is not fun. It is nasty. Let's go back to the swings." Sam says.
+
+They throw the stick away and run to the park. But they are too late. The stick lands on some dry leaves and starts a fire. The fire grows bigger and bigger. It reaches the swings, the slide and the ball. The fire burns everything. Tom and Sam cry. They have no more park to play in. They have no more toys to enjoy. They are very sorry. They wish they never saw the smoke stick. They wish they never listened to the man. They wish they were smarter. The end.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the garden with their mom. They wanted to plant some beans in the soil. Mom gave them each a small shovel and a cup of beans. She said, "Dig a hole, put a bean in, and cover it with soil. Then water it and wait for it to grow."
+
+Tom and Lily did as mom said. They dug holes, put beans in, and covered them with soil. They watered them and felt happy. They wanted to see their beans grow into big plants.
+
+But the next day, Tom and Lily forgot about their beans. They were busy playing with their toys and watching cartoons. They did not go to the garden or water their beans. They did not remember their beans at all.
+
+A week later, mom asked them, "Do you want to see your beans?" Tom and Lily looked confused. They said, "What beans?" Mom said, "The beans you planted in the garden. Don't you remember?" Tom and Lily shook their heads. They forgot.
+
+Mom took them to the garden. She showed them the holes they dug. But there were no beans. There were only weeds and bugs. Tom and Lily felt sad. They said, "Sorry, mom. We forgot our beans. We did not take care of them."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay. You can try again. But this time, don't forget. Beans need water and sun to grow. And they also need love and attention. They are not toys or cartoons. They are living things."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We will not forget again. We will take care of our beans. We want to see them grow into big plants."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I have a surprise for you. Look over there." She pointed to a corner of the garden. There, Tom and Lily saw something mysterious. They saw a big green stalk with leaves and flowers. And on top of it, they saw a giant bean.
+
+Mom said, "This is a magic bean. It grew from one of the beans you planted. It is very special. Do you want to climb it and see what's up there?" Tom and Lily said, "Yes, yes, yes!" They ran to the magic bean and started to climb. They wondered what they would find. They did not forget their beans anymore. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben like to slide, swing, and make sand castles.
+
+One day, they see something new in the park. It is a big metal thing. It has many colors and shapes. It looks like a flower, but not a real flower. It is a modern flower.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and see," Ben says.
+
+They run to the modern flower. It is shiny and smooth. It has a button on the stem. Lily pushes the button. The modern flower makes a sound. It sounds like a beep. Then, the petals move. They spring up and down. They make different sounds. They sound like a bell, a horn, a drum, and a whistle.
+
+Lily and Ben laugh. They like the modern flower. They push the button again and again. They listen to the sounds. They watch the petals spring. They have fun with the modern flower. They think it is the best thing in the park.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and run on the grass. One day, they saw a big hill in the park that looked like a volcano. They wanted to climb it and see what was on top.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It will be fun!"
+
+"I don't know, Tom," Lily said. "It looks high and steep. What if we fall?"
+
+"Don't be scared, Lily," Tom said. "We are fast and strong. We can do it!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to climb the hill. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the rocks and dirt. They went higher and higher, until they reached the top. They looked around and saw the whole park and the sky.
+
+"Wow, Tom, this is amazing!" Lily said. "We did it!"
+
+"Yes, we did, Lily!" Tom said. "We are the best!"
+
+They were so happy and proud that they did not notice the smoke and fire coming out of the hill. It was a real volcano, and it was about to erupt!
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Lily said, pointing at the smoke and fire. "The volcano is angry! It is going to spit lava!"
+
+"Uh-oh, Lily, this is bad!" Tom said. "We have to get down, fast!"
+
+Tom and Lily tried to climb down the hill, but it was too late. The volcano erupted, and lava started to flow down the hill. It was hot and red and scary. Tom and Lily screamed and cried for help.
+
+"Help, help, help!" they shouted.
+
+Luckily, a fireman heard their cries and came to rescue them. He used a ladder and a rope to pull them up and take them to safety. He was brave and kind.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you, fireman!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"You are very lucky," he said. "You should never climb a volcano. It is very dangerous. You could have been hurt or worse."
+
+"We are sorry, fireman," Tom and Lily said. "We did not know it was a volcano. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+"I understand, kids," he said. "But you should always be careful and listen to your parents and teachers. They know what is good and safe for you. And you should always respect nature and its power. It can be beautiful, but also fierce."
+
+"Yes, fireman, we will," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They learned their lesson and never climbed a volcano again. They still played in the park, but they stayed away from the hill. They swung on the swings, slid on the slides, and ran on the grass. They had fun, but they also had wisdom.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Lily says. "You can go with me."
+
+Ben shakes his head. He covers his eyes with his hands. He does not want to see the slide.
+
+Lily pulls his hands away. She smiles at him. "Don't be scared, Ben. I will hold your hand. We can go slow."
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He sees that she is brave. He wants to be brave too. He nods his head. He holds Lily's hand.
+
+They climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. They slide down together. They feel the wind on their faces. They laugh.
+
+They reach the bottom. They are happy. They hug each other.
+
+"That was fun!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Ben says. He covers his lip with his hand. He has a big smile.
+Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She kept them organized on a big shelf. She liked to look at the pictures and learn new words.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to read a book about animals. She went to her shelf and looked for the book. She could not find it. She looked under her bed, under her desk, under her chair. She could not find it. She felt sad.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my book about animals? I want to read it."
+
+Her mom said, "Did you look on the shelf?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I looked on the shelf. It is not there."
+
+Her mom said, "Did you look under the couch?"
+
+Lily said, "No, I did not look under the couch. Why would it be under the couch?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sometimes, books fall under the couch. Let's go and look."
+
+They went to the living room and looked under the couch. There was the book about animals. Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are smart."
+
+Her mom said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are smart too. Now, let's read the book together."
+Anna and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are happy and laugh.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, he is! But he is cold, too. Let's cover him with more snow, so he can be warm," Ben says.
+
+They take more snow and cover the snowman's body and face. They make him look like a big snowball.
+
+"Ha ha, now he is very warm!" Anna says.
+
+But then, the sun comes out. It is bright and warm. The snow starts to melt.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the snowman and try to save him. They take off the snow that covers him. They see his hat and his scarf and his face.
+
+"Hello, snowman! We are sorry we covered you. Are you okay?" Anna says.
+
+The snowman smiles. He is happy to see them.
+
+"Hello, Anna and Ben! Thank you for making me and covering me. But I like the sun, too. It makes me feel good. Don't worry, I will not go away. I will stay with you until the snow is gone," the snowman says.
+
+Anna and Ben hug the snowman. They are happy and laugh. They play with him until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the snowman and promise to come back tomorrow.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside and look at the sky. One night, they see a big star with a long tail. It is a comet.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "It is so bright and fast!"
+
+"It is beautiful," Mia says. "I wish I could touch it."
+
+They run after the comet, but it is too far away. They cannot catch it.
+
+"Maybe we can make our own comet," Tom says. He has an idea.
+
+He gets a stick and ties a scarf to it. He waves it in the air. The scarf flaps like a tail.
+
+"Look, I made a comet!" Tom says. He is happy.
+
+Mia likes Tom's comet. She gets a stick and ties a ribbon to it. She waves it in the air. The ribbon sparkles like a star.
+
+"Look, I made a comet too!" Mia says. She is happy.
+
+They run around with their comets, pretending to fly in the sky. They laugh and have fun.
+
+They are good friends. They like to make things together. They like to watch the real comet too. It is a good night.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run, jump and dig. They saw a big tap near the fence. It was shiny and had a red handle.
+
+"Let's turn it on!" Max said. He ran to the tap and pulled the handle. Water came out with a loud noise. It was amazing!
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like the water. It was cold and wet. She ran away from the tap. "Stop it, Max! Stop it!" she cried.
+
+Max did not stop. He liked the water. It was fun and funny. He chased Lily with the water. He sprayed her with the water. He laughed and laughed.
+
+Lily was angry. She did not like the water. She did not like Max. She tried to resist. She tried to hide. She tried to push Max away. But Max was stronger. He kept spraying her with the water.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Mom. She was not happy. She saw the water and the mess. She saw Lily and Max. She shouted at them.
+
+"What are you doing? Turn off that tap right now! You are wasting water and making a flood! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Lily and Max stopped. They were afraid. They turned off the tap. They looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They were sorry. They said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up.
+
+Mom was still angry. But she was also glad. She was glad they were safe and sorry. She was glad they were friends again. She took them inside. She dried them and gave them a snack. She told them a story. She told them to never play with the tap again. They promised. They learned their lesson. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed to sleep in.
+
+One day, they play too hard on the bed. They jump and bounce and laugh. They do not hear the bed make a loud noise. They do not see the bed break.
+
+"Anna, Ben, time for dinner!" Mom calls from downstairs. Anna and Ben stop playing. They want to eat. They slide off the bed and run to the door.
+
+But the bed is broken. One side of the bed falls down. The mattress and the pillows slide to the floor. The bed makes a louder noise.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say. They look at the bed. They are scared. They broke the bed. Mom will be angry.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what happened?" Mom comes to the room. She sees the broken bed. She sees Anna and Ben. They look sad.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We played too hard on the bed. We broke the bed. We did not mean to." Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom looks at the bed. She looks at Anna and Ben. She is not angry. She is glad they are not hurt.
+
+"It's okay, Anna and Ben. I know you did not mean to break the bed. It was an accident. We can fix the bed later. Come, let's go to dinner. You must be hungry." Mom says.
+
+She hugs Anna and Ben. They hug her back. They are happy. They love Mom. They follow her to the kitchen. They forget about the broken bed. They think about the yummy food. They are hungry.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big green crocodile. The crocodile had a long tail, sharp teeth and a funny smile.
+
+"Let's pull the crocodile's tail and see what happens!" said Ben. He was brave and curious. He grabbed the crocodile's tail and pulled hard.
+
+"Ouch!" said the crocodile. "That hurts! Why did you do that?" The crocodile was not a toy, but a real crocodile. He had escaped from the zoo and was hiding in the garden.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the crocodile's tail and ran to the house. They told their mom what they saw.
+
+"A real crocodile? In our garden?" said mom. She was surprised and worried. She called the zoo and asked them to come and get the crocodile.
+
+Soon, the zookeepers arrived. They brought a big cage and a rope. They found the crocodile under a bush. They threw the rope around his neck and pulled him into the cage.
+
+"Thank you for calling us," said one of the zookeepers. "This crocodile is very naughty. He likes to sneak out and explore. We will take him back to the zoo and make sure he stays there."
+
+Lily and Ben watched the zookeepers take the crocodile away. They felt sorry for him, but also relieved. They decided to play with their other toys, and to be more careful with what they pulled. They also helped mom to tidy the garden and put away their toys. Mom was proud of them and gave them a hug.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big rock near the woods. They decided to climb on it and pretend it was a castle.
+
+"Look, I am the king of the rock!" Ben said. He wore a crown made of leaves and sticks.
+
+"And I am the queen!" Lily said. She wore a necklace of flowers and berries.
+
+They had fun playing on the rock, until they saw some smoke coming from the woods. They smelled something burning.
+
+"Oh no, there is a fire in the woods!" Lily said. She was scared.
+
+"Let's go and see if we can help!" Ben said. He was brave.
+
+They ran to the woods and saw a small fire near some dry leaves and branches. They also saw a man with a bucket of water. He was trying to put out the fire.
+
+"Hello, can we help you?" Ben asked.
+
+"Hello, thank you for coming. I am a ranger and I watch over the woods. Someone left a campfire here and it started to spread. Can you help me bring some more water from the stream?" the man said.
+
+"Sure, we can do that!" Lily said.
+
+They followed the man to the stream and filled their buckets with water. Then they ran back to the fire and poured the water on it. They did this several times, until the fire was gone.
+
+"Thank you, you are very kind and helpful. You saved the woods and the animals from the fire. You are true heroes!" the man said.
+
+He gave them each a badge with a picture of a tree and a bird.
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy and proud. They hugged the man and thanked him.
+
+They went back to their rock and looked at the woods. They saw the green trees, the blue sky, and the colorful birds. They felt peaceful and grateful.
+
+They learned that playing is fun, but helping is important. They also learned that fire can be dangerous, and they should be careful with it. They decided to always respect and protect the woods and the animals. They were good twins.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to run, jump and slide. They also like to look for things on the ground. Sometimes they find stones, leaves or feathers.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big stone!" Tom says. He picks up the stone and puts it in his pocket. "It is heavy and smooth. Do you want to feel it?"
+
+Lily nods and reaches for Tom's pocket. She feels the stone and smiles. "It is heavy and smooth. It is a nice stone, Tom. Can I have it?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes the stone, but he also likes Lily. He wants to make her happy. He takes the stone out of his pocket and gives it to Lily. "Here, Lily, you can have it. It is a gift for you."
+
+Lily hugs Tom and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will keep the stone in my pocket. It will remind me of you."
+
+Tom and Lily continue to play in the park. They are happy and they feel good. They have a heavy and smooth stone, and they have each other.
+Tom and Mia are going to the park with their dad. They are very happy because they love to play on the swings and slides. Dad puts their snacks and water in a big bag. He is very organized and does not forget anything.
+
+They get in the car and dad starts to drive. But after a few minutes, the car makes a funny noise and stops. Dad looks at the dashboard and says, "Oh no, we have no fuel! I forgot to fill up the tank this morning. I'm sorry, kids, we have to go back home."
+
+Tom and Mia are sad and disappointed. They really want to go to the park. They ask dad, "Can we go to the park later, when you get more fuel?"
+
+Dad nods and says, "Yes, of course, we can go to the park later. But first, we have to call mom and ask her to come and help us. She has a can of fuel in the garage. Maybe she can bring it to us."
+
+Tom and Mia smile and say, "Okay, dad, we hope mom comes soon. We love you and mom. And we love the park too."
+
+Dad hugs them and says, "I love you too, kids. And I'm sorry I forgot the fuel. Next time, I will be more organized and check the tank before we leave."
+Lily had a new toy. It was a skull. It was not a real skull. It was made of plastic. It had a button on the back. When Lily pressed the button, the skull opened its mouth and made a scary sound. Lily liked to scare her brother with the skull.
+
+One day, Lily and her brother were playing in the garden. Lily hid the skull behind a bush. She waited for her brother to come near. Then she pressed the button. The skull made a loud roar. Her brother jumped and screamed. Lily laughed and laughed.
+
+But Lily did not see the bee. The bee was angry. The bee did not like the loud noise. The bee flew out of the bush and stung Lily on the nose. Lily cried and cried. Her nose hurt. Her nose became red and big. It spread all over her face. Lily looked like a monster.
+
+Her brother saw Lily and ran to her. He was not scared of the skull anymore. He was scared for Lily. He hugged her and said sorry. He helped her go inside. He got some ice and put it on her nose. He said it would make it better.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She said sorry too. She said she was silly. She said she would not scare her brother with the skull anymore. She said she would share it with him. They smiled and hugged. They were friends again.
+Lily and Ben were adventurous kids who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to imagine that they were explorers in a swamp. They put on their boots and hats and grabbed their binoculars and maps.
+
+"Let's go find some animals and plants in the swamp," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The swamp can be wet and muddy and smelly," Ben said.
+
+They walked around the yard and pretended that it was a swamp. They saw a frog, a bird, a flower and a bug. They used their binoculars and maps to look at them and learn their names.
+
+"Look, a frog! It can hop and swim and croak," Lily said.
+
+"Look, a bird! It can fly and sing and nest," Ben said.
+
+"Look, a flower! It can grow and smell and bloom," Lily said.
+
+"Look, a bug! It can crawl and bite and sting," Ben said.

+They had fun imagining that they were explorers in a swamp. They learned a lot about animals and plants. They also got wet and muddy and smelly, but they did not mind. They were adventurous kids who liked to play outside.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play pretend. One day, they pretend to be doctors and patients. Lily has a big box. She says it is an x-ray machine. Ben wants to see inside.
+
+"Can I go in the x-ray?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, but you have to jump first," Lily says.
+
+"Why?" Ben wonders.
+
+"Because it is more fun," Lily says. "And it makes the x-ray work better."
+
+Ben trusts Lily. He jumps up and down. Then he goes inside the box. Lily closes the lid. She makes a beep sound.
+
+"Okay, Ben, I can see your bones," Lily says. "You have very creative bones. They look like stars and flowers and animals."
+
+"Really?" Ben says. "Can I see them too?"
+
+Lily opens the lid. She shows Ben a paper. She has drawn on it with crayons. She has made colorful shapes and patterns.
+
+"Look, these are your bones," Lily says. "Aren't they amazing?"
+
+Ben smiles. He likes Lily's drawing. He thinks she is very creative.

+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They make pictures of animals and flowers and cars. Tom has a red crayon and Mia has a blue crayon.
+
+One day, Tom sees a big pair of scissors on the table. He wants to try them. He picks them up and says, "Look, Mia, I have scissors. I can cut things."
+
+Mia says, "No, Tom, don't cut things. Scissors are sharp. They can hurt you. And they can break things. Put them back."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He thinks it is fun to cut things. He cuts the paper. He cuts the crayons. He cuts his red crayon in half. He says, "Ha ha, look, Mia, I cut my crayon. Now I have two crayons."
+
+Mia is sad. She says, "Tom, you are bad. You cut your crayon. Now your crayon is dead. It cannot make pictures anymore. It is broken. You should not cut things that are not yours."
+
+Tom is sorry. He sees that Mia is right. He says, "I am sorry, Mia. I did not mean to cut my crayon. I did not know it would die. I will not cut things anymore. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Mia is kind. She says, "Yes, Tom, we can still be friends. But you have to be careful with scissors. And you have to share your crayons. Here, you can have half of my blue crayon. Then we can both make pictures."
+
+Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. I will share my crayons with you. And I will not cut things anymore. I will only cut paper when the teacher says so."
+
+They hug and smile. They use their crayons and paper to make new pictures. They are friends again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big hill with many rocks. Lily wanted to climb the hill. She said to Ben, "Let's go up the hill. It looks fun."
+
+Ben was scared. He said, "No, Lily. The hill is too high and too hard. We might fall and hurt ourselves. Mommy and Daddy said to stay away from the rocks."
+
+Lily said, "Don't be a baby, Ben. I dare you to climb the hill with me. It will be fun. Come on, Ben. I dare you."
+
+Ben did not want to be a baby. He wanted to be brave. He said, "OK, Lily. I will climb the hill with you. But we have to be careful and not go too fast."
+
+Lily and Ben put on their vests. They were red and blue. They liked their vests. They made them feel warm and safe. They started to climb the hill. They held hands and helped each other. They said, "We can do it. We are strong and smart."
+
+They reached the top of the hill. They were happy and proud. They saw the park and the sky. They said, "Wow, what a beautiful view. We did it. We climbed the hill."
+
+They heard a voice. It was Mommy. She said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing up there? Come down right now. You are not supposed to climb the hill. It is dangerous. You could have fallen and hurt yourselves. You did not listen to me and Daddy. You were naughty."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We wanted to have fun. We dared each other to climb the hill. We did not mean to be naughty. We will come down right now."
+
+They climbed down the hill. They were careful and slow. They reached the bottom of the hill. They ran to Mommy. They hugged her and said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We love you. We will not climb the hill again. We will be good and polite."
+
+Mommy hugged them back and said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. I am glad you are safe and sorry. But you have to listen to me and Daddy. We tell you things for your own good. We want you to be happy and healthy. Next time, do not dare each other to do dangerous things. Dare each other to do nice things. Like sharing, helping and learning."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "OK, Mommy. We will do that. We will dare each other to do nice things. Thank you, Mommy. You are the best."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily and Ben. You are the best too. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. You deserve a treat for being good and polite."
+Sara and Ben love to eat popcorn. They like to make it in the big pot on the stove. They put some oil and some corn in the pot and wait for it to pop. They hear the pop pop pop sound and see the corn increase in the pot. They are very happy.
+
+But Sara and Ben are not very careful. They do not put a lid on the pot. They do not watch the pot. They do not turn off the stove. They go to the couch and watch TV. They forget about the popcorn.
+
+Soon, the popcorn is too much for the pot. It spills out of the pot and onto the stove. It makes a big mess. It also makes a fire. The fire alarm goes off and scares Sara and Ben. They run to the kitchen and see the fire. They are very scared.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the alarm and come to the kitchen. They see the fire and the mess. They are very angry. They use a towel and some water to put out the fire. They tell Sara and Ben to go to their room. They have to clean the kitchen. They have to throw away the burnt popcorn. They have to buy a new pot. They are very sad.
+
+Sara and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that they have to be careful when they make popcorn. They have to put a lid on the pot. They have to watch the pot. They have to turn off the stove. They have to keep the kitchen clean. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They promise to be more responsible. They hope to eat popcorn again. They are very sorry.
+Tom hurt his leg when he fell from the tree. He cried and his mom came to help him. She put a bandage on his leg and gave him a hug. She said his leg would heal soon, but he had to rest and not climb trees for a while.
+
+Tom was bored in his bed. He wanted to play with his friends and his toys. He saw his rope on the floor. He liked to swing the rope and make shapes with it. He had an idea. He tied one end of the rope to his bed and threw the other end out of the window.
+
+He looked out and saw his friend Sam in the yard. Sam saw the rope and waved to Tom. Tom waved back and pulled the rope. He made a sign with his hand to tell Sam to come closer. Sam ran to the window and grabbed the rope. He climbed up the rope and reached Tom's room.
+
+Tom was happy to see Sam. He showed him his bandage and told him what happened. Sam said he was sorry and hoped Tom would get better soon. He said he brought a book for Tom to read. It was a book about distant lands and animals. Tom liked the book and thanked Sam. They read the book together and had fun. Tom forgot about his leg and smiled.
+Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They build different structures with the blocks. Sometimes they make houses, sometimes they make towers, sometimes they make bridges.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big castle with the blocks. They use many blocks to make the walls, the doors, the windows, and the towers. They are very proud of their structure.
+
+"Look at our castle!" Tom says. "It is very big and strong!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia agrees. "It is very good and pretty!"
+
+They examine their structure. They look at the details, the colors, the shapes. They are happy with their work.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their little brother, Ben. He is running towards them. He is holding a ball.
+
+"Ben, no!" Tom and Mia shout. "Don't throw the ball at our castle!"
+
+But Ben does not listen. He throws the ball at their structure. The ball hits the castle. The blocks fall down. The structure is broken.
+
+Tom and Mia are very sad and angry. They cry and yell at Ben.
+
+"Ben, you are very bad and mean!" Tom says. "You broke our castle!"
+
+"Ben, you are very naughty and rude!" Mia says. "You ruined our structure!"
+
+Ben looks at the mess. He does not understand why Tom and Mia are so upset. He thinks it is fun to knock down the blocks. He smiles and says:
+
+"Sorry, Tom and Mia. I just wanted to play with you. Can we build another structure?"
+Ben and Lily are going to the park with Mom. They want to play on the swings and the slide. Mom says they need to pack some snacks and water in a bag. Ben and Lily help Mom pack the bag. They put in some apples, crackers, cheese and juice boxes.

+
+They look at each other. They smile. They don't care who wins. They are happy.
+
+"Come on, let's go to the slide!" Lily says.

+They jump off the swings. They run to the slide. It is big and shiny. They climb up the ladder. They slide down one by one. They feel the thrill in their tummy.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Ben says.
+
+"Let's do it again!" Lily says.
+
+They slide down many times. They giggle and scream.
+
+"Look at me, Mom!" Ben says. "I am strong and brave!"
+
+"Look at me, Mom!" Lily says. "I am strong and brave!"
+
+Mom watches them. She smiles. She is proud of them. She claps and cheers.

+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fish in the pond. They want to catch the fish.
+
+"Look, Ben, a fish!" Lila says. "Let's catch it!"
+
+"How?" Ben asks. "We have no net."
+
+Lila thinks. She is smart. She sees a stick and a string. She ties the string to the stick. She finds a worm and puts it on the string.
+
+"Here, Ben, hold this," she says. "It is a rod. The fish will like the worm."
+
+Ben holds the rod. He puts it in the water. He waits. He sees the fish swim near the worm. He hopes the fish will bite.
+
+Suddenly, the rod moves. Ben feels a tug. He pulls the rod. He catches the fish!
+
+"Wow, Ben, you did it!" Lila says. "You caught the fish!"
+
+Ben is happy. He looks at the fish. It is shiny and wet. It flips and flops.
+
+"What will you do with the fish?" Lila asks.
+
+Ben thinks. He likes the fish. But he knows the fish likes the water. He makes a wish.
+
+"I wish the fish can be free," he says. "I will let it go."
+
+He puts the fish back in the pond. The fish swims away. It splashes and waves.
+
+"Bye, fish," Ben says. "Thank you for playing with us."
+
+Lila smiles. She hugs Ben. She thinks he is kind.
+
+"You are a good friend, Ben," she says. "And a smart fisher."
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys in the yard. One day, they find a big pipe. It is long and round and shiny. They both want to play with it.
+
+"Give me the pipe!" Ben says. He tries to pull it from Sam.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says. He holds on to the pipe. They fight over the pipe. They push and pull and yell.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the yard. She sees them fighting. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop fighting, boys!" Mom says. "You have to share the pipe. It is not nice to fight."
+
+Ben and Sam stop fighting. They feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other.
+
+"Can we play with the pipe together?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, we can," Sam says. "We can make it a rocket or a snake or a tunnel."
+
+They play with the pipe together. They have fun. They are happy. They are successful. Mom smiles. She is proud of them.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big cliff near their house. They wondered what was on the other side of the cliff. They wanted to see.
+
+"Let's go closer," Tom said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, it's too dangerous," Lily said. She was careful and smart. "Mom and Dad said we should not go near the cliff. It's not normal to go there. We could fall and get hurt."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He walked closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. He looked down and saw a river and some rocks. He thought it was cool.
+
+"Come on, Lily, don't be scared," Tom said. "It's fun to see new things."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to go near the cliff. She wanted to go back to their house. She tried to pull Tom away from the edge.
+
+"Tom, please, let's go back," Lily said. "It's not fun to do things that are not safe. It's not normal to be so reckless. We should listen to Mom and Dad. They know what's best for us."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He wanted to see more. He leaned over the edge of the cliff. He lost his balance and slipped. He screamed as he fell.
+
+Lily screamed too. She ran to the edge of the cliff. She saw Tom lying on the rocks below. He was not moving. He was not breathing. He was gone.
+
+Lily cried and cried. She wished she could go back in time and stop Tom from going near the cliff. She wished she could tell him how much she loved him and how much she missed him. She wished he had listened to her and to Mom and Dad.
+
+She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that some things are not normal for a reason. She learned that some things are not worth wondering about. She learned that some things are better left alone.
+Anna and Ben were very excited to go to the theater with their mom and dad. They had never seen a big show before. They put on their warm coats and hats and got in the car. Mom said it was very cold outside.
+
+When they got to the theater, they saw many people waiting in line. They followed their mom and dad to their seats. They were very obedient and did not run or shout. They wanted to see the show. Mom said it was about a princess and a dragon.
+
+The lights went down and the show began. Anna and Ben watched the princess sing and dance. She was very pretty and brave. They liked her. But then the dragon came. He was very big and scary. He roared and breathed fire. Anna and Ben shivered. They were afraid of the dragon. They held their mom and dad's hands.
+
+The princess fought the dragon with a sword. She was very strong and smart. She made the dragon run away. Anna and Ben cheered. They were happy for the princess. They clapped and smiled. The show was over. They liked the show.
+

+Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Jen wants to play teacher. She has a test for Tom. She is bossy.
+
+"Tom, sit down and do the test. It is hard. You have to write your name and draw a cat. If you do not do it, you are bad," Jen says.
+
+Tom does not like the test. He does not want to write or draw. He wants to play with cars. He is mad.
+
+"Jen, I do not want to do the test. It is not fun. You are not a real teacher. You are mean," Tom says.
+
+Jen is hurt. She likes to play teacher. She thinks the test is fun. She is sad.

+
+"Look, Tom, a cake!" Lisa says. "I want some. Do you want some?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes cake too. He runs to the table and tries to grab a piece. But Lisa is faster. She takes a big piece and holds it in her hand.
+
+"Ha ha, I got some cake and you don't!" Lisa teases. "It is so yummy. Mmm."
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He wants some cake too. He thinks Lisa is mean. He tries to take the cake from her hand. But Lisa pulls it away.
+
+"Stop it, Tom!" Lisa says. "This is my cake. Go away!"
+
+They start to fight. They push and pull and shout. The cake falls on the floor. It breaks into pieces. They both stop and look at the mess. They feel sorry.
+
+"Oops, we made a mistake," Lisa says. "We wasted the cake. Now we have none."
+
+Tom nods. He feels bad. He hugs Lisa and says, "I'm sorry, Lisa. I shouldn't have tried to take your cake. You can have some of mine."
+
+Lisa hugs Tom back and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I shouldn't have teased you. You can have some of mine."
+

+Anna is a shy girl who likes to draw and read. She does not like to talk to other kids or play with them. She has a file with her drawings and stories that she keeps in her room. She is very proud of her file and does not want anyone to see it.
+
+One day, Anna has to go to the dentist with her mom. She does not like the dentist. He makes her open her mouth and poke her teeth with a metal thing. He says she has a cavity and needs a filling. Anna is scared and cries. She wants to go home.
+
+She does not hear her mom say that they have to stop at the store on the way home. She only hears her mom say that she can wait in the car for a few minutes. Anna thinks that is a good idea. She does not want to go to the store. She wants to look at her file and feel better.
+
+She takes her file from her backpack and opens it on her lap. She sees her drawings and stories and smiles. She likes the colors and the shapes and the words. She forgets about the dentist and the cavity and the filling. She is happy.
+
+But then, she hears a loud noise. She looks up and sees a big man with a mask and a bag. He is breaking the window of the car. He is trying to steal things. He sees Anna and her file. He grabs the file and puts it in his bag. He runs away.
+
+Anna screams and cries. She wants her file back. She wants her drawings and stories back. She wants her mom back. She is very sad and scared. She does not know what to do. She has no file. She has nothing.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long tail. It was a magpie.
+
+"Look, Lily, a magpie!" Tom said. "It can soar very high. Do you think it can see us?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked magpies. They were shiny and smart. She wanted to talk to it. She waved her hand and shouted, "Hello, magpie! Do you want to play with us?"

+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They had a new friend. They asked the magpie to show them how it could soar. The magpie agreed. It flapped its wings and soared up and down and around.

+
+But there is a long line of kids. They have to wait. Tim and Sam are not happy. They want to go fast.
+
+"Look, Sam, the line is too long. Let's go to the swings," Tim says.
+
+"No, Tim, I want to go on the slide. It looks fun. And we are tough. We can wait," Sam says.
+
+They wait and wait. The line moves slowly. Tim and Sam are bored. They look at the slide. It looks high and steep. They start to feel scared.
+
+"Sam, I don't want to go on the slide anymore. It looks scary. Let's go to the swings," Tim says.
+
+"Me too, Tim. The slide looks scary. Let's go to the swings," Sam says.
+
+They leave the line and run to the swings. They have fun on the swings. They forget about the slide. They are happy.

+
+"Let's go inside and have some juice," Sam said.
+
+"OK," Lily agreed.
+
+They ran to the house and opened the door. But they saw that their mom was busy. She was talking on the phone and writing on a paper.
+
+"Mom, can we have some juice?" Sam asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this work. It is very important," Mom said.
+
+Sam and Lily felt sad. They wanted some juice and a hug. They looked around the room. They saw a chair and a table. On the table, there was a big jug of water and some cups.
+
+"Look, Lily. There is water on the table. Maybe we can have some," Sam whispered.
+
+He climbed on the chair and reached for the jug. He poured some water into a cup and gave it to Lily. Then he poured some for himself.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are very kind," Lily said.
+
+They drank the water and felt better. The water was cold and wet. It made their mouths happy.
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. They were glad they had each other. They did not need juice. Water was good enough.
+
+They put the cups back on the table and got down from the chair. They decided to go back to the garden and play some more. They knew that Mom loved them and would provide them with juice and a hug later. They were happy and dry.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park is a big place with many things to do. There are swings, slides, sand, and trees.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their moms. They run to the swings and take turns. They swing high and low, and laugh. Then they go to the slides and slide down fast. They feel the wind in their hair and smile.
+
+After that, they go to the sand and make a castle. They use a bucket, a shovel, and some sticks. They work hard and have fun. They are proud of their castle.
+
+They see a tree with red fruits. They are curious. They ask their moms if they can pick some fruits. Their moms say yes, but be careful. They might be sour.
+
+Anna and Ben spring to the tree. They reach for the fruits. They pull them off the branches. They look at the fruits. They are round and shiny. They smell good.
+
+They take a bite. They make a face. The fruits are very sour. They spit them out. They say, "Yuck! These fruits are bad. They hurt our mouths."
+
+Their moms laugh. They say, "Those are not fruits. Those are crab apples. They are not for eating. They are for making jam or cider. You need to add sugar and cook them first."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Oh. We did not know that. We are sorry. We will not eat them again."
+
+Their moms say, "That's okay. You learned something new. Now, do you want some juice and cookies? They are sweet and good."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, please. We are thirsty and hungry. Thank you, moms."
+
+They go to the bench and have a snack. They drink juice and eat cookies. They are happy. They like the park. It is a fun place.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They share their toys, help each other, and say nice things. They display love to each other.
+
+One day, Lily makes a picture for Ben. She uses many colors and shapes. She writes his name with big letters. She is very proud of her picture. She wants to show Ben how much she loves him.
+
+She runs to Ben's house and knocks on the door. Ben opens the door and smiles. He sees the picture in Lily's hand and says, "Wow, what is that?"
+
+Lily says, "It is a picture for you, Ben. I made it with my crayons. It is a gift. I love you, Ben."
+
+Ben is very happy. He takes the picture and hugs Lily. He says, "Thank you, Lily. I love you, too. This is the best picture ever. You are a great friend."
+
+He puts the picture on his wall. He can see it every day. It makes him feel good. Lily and Ben's love is clear. They are very lucky.
+Sara loved her doll very much. She named her doll Lily and gave her a lovely dress and a hat. She played with Lily every day and hugged her at night. Lily was Sara's best friend.
+
+One day, Sara saw a shiny thing in the sky. It was a big balloon with many colors. Sara wanted to see it closer. She ran to the window and opened it. She held Lily in one hand and leaned out of the window.
+
+"Look, Lily, look at the shiny balloon!" Sara said. "It is so pretty and bright!"
+
+But Sara leaned too far and lost her balance. She dropped Lily out of the window. Lily fell down and down and hit the ground. She broke into many pieces.
+
+Sara screamed and cried. She tried to reach for Lily, but she could not. She was too high up. She called for her mom, but her mom did not hear her. She was alone and sad.
+
+Sara lost her doll and her best friend. She wished she never saw the shiny balloon. It was not pretty and bright. It was bad and mean.
+Tom and Lily liked to play near the lake. They saw many things there: fish, ducks, frogs, and sometimes a big boat. One day, they found a shiny stone on the shore. It was round and smooth and had many colors.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is so pretty. Can I have it?"
+
+Lily looked at the stone and felt a little sad. She wanted it too. But she was a thoughtful girl and she loved her brother. "Okay, you can have it," she said. "But you have to share it with me sometimes."
+
+Tom smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, Lily. You are the best sister ever. I will share it with you always."
+
+They put the stone in Tom's pocket and ran to the lake. They threw stones and sticks in the water and watched the ripples. They laughed and had fun. They did not see the big shadow that moved under the surface.
+
+The next day, they came back to the lake. They wanted to play with the shiny stone again. But when Tom reached into his pocket, he gasped. The stone was gone!
+
+"Where is it? Where is it?" he cried. "I lost it! I lost the pretty stone!"
+
+Lily tried to calm him down. "Don't worry, Tom. Maybe it fell out somewhere. Let's look for it. Maybe we can find it."
+
+They searched the shore and the grass and the trees. But they could not find the stone. They felt very sad and sorry.
+
+They did not know that the stone was not really a stone. It was a special egg that belonged to a big turtle. The turtle had left it on the shore to warm up in the sun. But when it came back, it saw that the egg was gone. It was very angry and scared. It followed the scent of the children and found the egg in Tom's pocket. It snatched it away and swam back to the lake. It was very happy and proud.
+
+The turtle did not care about the children. It only cared about its egg. It did not know that the children had been kind and thoughtful. It did not know that they had loved the egg too. It only seemed to know how to take.
+Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make noise with pots and pans. They banged them with spoons and forks, and laughed when they heard the loud sounds.
+
+But their mom did not like the noise. She was working in the next room, and she needed quiet. She asked them to stop, but they did not listen. They thought it was fun to make noise, and they did not care about their mom.
+
+Then, Lily had an idea. She saw a big pot on the shelf, and she wanted to strike it with a spoon. She thought it would make the loudest noise ever. She reached for the pot, but it was too high. She stood on a chair, and stretched her arm. She touched the pot, but it was heavy. It fell from the shelf, and hit the ceiling. Then, it bounced on the floor, and rolled under the bed.
+
+The noise was so loud, that their mom came running. She saw the pot, the chair, and the mess. She was very angry. She scolded Lily and Tom, and told them to go to bed. She said they were naughty, and they did not respect her.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to their mom, and hugged her. They promised to be more thoughtful, and to play quietly. They learned that noise is not always fun, and that they should think of others.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of rocks. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Sara!" Tom said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK, Tom!" Sara said. "But be careful. The rocks might be sharp or loose."
+
+They started to climb the hill. They held on to the rocks and helped each other. They were almost at the top when they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It was coming fast. It was going to hit the hill.
+
+"Look out, Sara!" Tom shouted. "The truck is coming! We have to get down!"
+
+But it was too late. The truck hit the hill and made the rocks fall. Sara and Tom were trapped under the rocks. They could not move. They could not see. They were scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara and Tom cried. "We are trapped! We are hurt!"
+
+The truck driver heard their cries. He stopped the truck and got out. He saw the broken hill and the rocks. He saw a small hand sticking out of the rocks. He ran to help.
+
+"Don't worry, kids!" the truck driver said. "I'm here to save you! I'm sorry I hit the hill. I did not see it. I'll get you out of there!"
+
+He lifted the rocks and freed Sara and Tom. They were bruised and bleeding, but they were alive. He hugged them and carried them to his truck. He called for help.
+
+"You are brave, kids!" the truck driver said. "You are lucky, too. It could have been worse. I'm glad I heard you. You saved each other by shouting."
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Sara and Tom said. "You saved us, too. You are nice. We are sorry for your truck. It is broken, too."
+
+"That's OK, kids!" the truck driver said. "My truck can be fixed. You are more important. You are my friends now."
+
+They smiled and hugged him. They waited for help to come. They were happy to be safe. They learned a lesson. They would not climb the hill again. They would play somewhere else. Somewhere safer.
+Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They drew big pictures of cars, flowers and stars. They had fun.
+
+One day, a big boy came. He was mean. He had a harsh voice. He said, "This is my sidewalk. Go away. Your pictures are ugly." He kicked the chalk and broke it. He stepped on the pictures and made them dirty.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad and scared. They blinked their eyes. They wanted to cry. They said, "No, this is our sidewalk. We can play here. Our pictures are nice. You are mean. Go away."
+
+The big boy laughed. He said, "No, you go away. I am bigger and stronger. I can do what I want." He pushed Tim and Sam. He took their chalk and threw it away.
+
+Tim and Sam ran away. They looked for their chalk. They found some pieces. They hugged each other. They said, "We are still friends. We can draw somewhere else. The big boy is bad. He can't take our fun." They smiled and walked away.
+Ben and Mia like to play with pasta. They have a big box of pasta shapes. They can make necklaces, towers, and animals with them. But sometimes they are silly and scatter the pasta all over the floor.
+
+One day, Mom is cooking pasta for lunch. She tells Ben and Mia to help her set the table. Ben and Mia say yes, but they have a different idea. They sneak into the kitchen and grab some pasta from the pot. Then they run to the living room and throw the pasta everywhere.
+
+"Look, Mia, we made it rain pasta!" Ben says.
+
+"Ha ha, Ben, you are so funny!" Mia says.
+
+But Mom is not happy. She hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the pasta on the sofa, the rug, the lamp, and the TV. She is very angry.
+
+"Ben and Mia, what have you done?" Mom says. "This is not a game. This is our lunch. You wasted the food and made a big mess. You are very naughty."
+
+Ben and Mia feel sorry. They see Mom's face and know they did something bad. They say sorry to Mom and help her pick up the pasta. They promise to not be silly with pasta again. Mom hugs them and says she loves them, but they have to be careful and listen to her. Then they have lunch together, but with less pasta.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to share. They always wanted the same toy and fought over it. One day, their mom gave them a big sack full of new toys. She said they had to take turns and be nice to each other.
+
+Lily and Ben opened the sack and saw many colorful and shiny toys. They saw cars, dolls, balls, books, and a screen. The screen was a tablet that had games and videos. Lily and Ben both wanted the screen. They grabbed it and pulled it hard.
+
+"Give me the screen! It's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Ben yelled.
+
+They pulled and pulled until the screen broke. It made a loud crack and the screen went black. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the screen. They felt sad and scared.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She saw the broken screen and the toys on the floor. She was very angry. She said they were spoiled and naughty. She took away the sack and the toys. She said they had to go to their room and think about what they did.
+
+Lily and Ben cried and said they were sorry. They wished they had shared and played nicely. They learned that being greedy and selfish was not fun. They hugged each other and said they would be better twins.
+Lily and Ben were going to the lake with their mom and dad. They were very happy. They liked to swim and play in the water. They had a big bag with their swimsuits, towels, and toys. They also had a small boat that they could blow up and float on.
+
+When they got to the lake, they saw that it was raining. The sky was gray and the water was cold. Lily and Ben felt miserable. They did not want to swim or play in the water. They wanted to go back home.
+
+"Can we please go back home, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't. We already paid for the cabin and we have to stay here for two days," mom said.
+
+"But it's no fun here. It's wet and boring," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe the rain will stop soon. Why don't we unpack our bag and see what we can do inside the cabin?" dad suggested.
+
+Lily and Ben sighed. They followed their mom and dad to the cabin. They unpacked their bag and put their things on the bed. They saw their small boat. They looked at each other and had an idea.
+
+"Hey, maybe we can blow up the boat and play with it inside the cabin," Lily whispered.
+
+"Yeah, that sounds fun. Let's do it," Ben whispered back.
+
+They took the boat and the pump and went to the living room. They started to blow up the boat. It got bigger and bigger. They laughed and pretended they were on a big adventure.
+
+Mom and dad heard them and smiled. They were glad that Lily and Ben found a way to have fun. They joined them and played with the boat. They forgot about the rain and had a good time.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. They have cars, dolls, balls, and books.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She says, "Time to go to the park!" Tom and Lily love the park. They can swing, slide, and run there.
+
+Tom and Lily hurry to get ready. They put on their shoes and coats. They want to bring some toys to the park. They look for their favorite toys. Tom finds his red car. Lily finds her pink doll. They are happy.
+
+But then, they see a funny toy. It is a green frog. It can hop and make noise. Tom and Lily want to play with the frog. They forget about the park. They take the frog and make it hop on the bed. They laugh and clap.
+
+Their mom comes to the room. She sees Tom and Lily playing with the frog. She says, "What are you doing? We have to go to the park!" Tom and Lily look at their mom. They remember the park. They say, "Sorry, mom. We like the frog. It is a funny toy."
+
+Their mom smiles. She says, "The frog is a funny toy. But the park is more fun. You can play with the frog later. Now, hurry to the car. Let's go to the park!" Tom and Lily nod. They put the frog in the toy box. They take their car and doll. They hurry to the car. They are ready to go to the park.
+Tom and Lily wanted to play outside. It was winter and there was a lot of snow on the ground. They put on their warm clothes and boots and ran to the backyard.
+
+"Look, Lily, we can make snowballs!" Tom said. He picked up some snow and squeezed it in his hand. It became hard and round. He threw it at a tree and it made a loud sound.
+
+"Wow, that's fun!" Lily said. She also made a snowball and threw it at Tom. It hit him on the arm and he laughed.
+
+They played snowball fight for a while, until they saw a big hill nearby. "Let's go there and slide down!" Tom said. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran to the hill.
+
+But the hill was very steep and slippery. It was dangerous to slide down. Tom and Lily did not know that. They sat on a big piece of wood and pushed themselves down the hill.
+
+"Yay, this is so fast!" Tom shouted. He felt the wind on his face and the snow under his feet.
+
+But Lily was scared. She saw a big rock at the bottom of the hill. They were going to hit it. She screamed and squeezed Tom's hand.
+
+"Tom, stop, stop, there's a rock!" she cried.
+
+Tom looked and saw the rock too. He tried to steer the wood away, but it was too late. They crashed into the rock and flew off the wood. They landed on the snow and rolled over.
+
+They were not hurt, but they were very cold and wet. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"I'm okay, Tom, but that was scary!" Lily said.
+
+They got up and ran back to their house. They told their mom what happened. She was angry and worried. She scolded them for being careless and foolish. She made them take off their wet clothes and gave them hot chocolate and cookies.
+
+She also hugged them and kissed them. She was glad they were safe.
+
+"Next time, don't go to the dangerous hill, okay?" she said.
+
+"Okay, mom, we're sorry," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never went to the dangerous hill again. They played with snowballs in the backyard instead. They had fun, but they were also careful.
+Anna loves to draw with her pen. Her pen is bright and shiny. It has many colors. She can make rainbows and flowers and stars with her pen.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and dad. She brings her pen and a paper. She wants to draw the birds and the trees and the swings. She finds a nice spot on the grass and starts to draw.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, I made a bird!" she says, holding up her paper.
+
+"That's very good, Anna, you are a great artist!" her mom says, smiling.
+
+"Can I see your pen, Anna? It looks so cool!" a boy says, coming over to her. He has a ball in his hand.
+
+"Sure, you can see it, but be careful, it's my favorite pen," Anna says, handing him her pen.
+
+The boy takes the pen and looks at it. He likes the colors. He wants to try it. He runs away with the pen and the ball.
+
+"Hey, come back, that's my pen!" Anna shouts, getting up and chasing him.
+
+"Sorry, I just want to play with it for a bit!" the boy says, running faster.
+
+Anna tries to catch him, but he is too fast. He goes to the other side of the park, where there is a pond. He throws the ball and the pen into the pond.
+
+"Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!" the boy says, looking scared.
+
+Anna stops and stares at the pond. She can't see her pen anymore. It is gone. She feels sad and angry. She starts to cry.
+
+"Mom, dad, he threw my pen in the pond!" she sobs, running back to them.
+
+Her mom and dad hug her and comfort her. They tell the boy to apologize and to be more careful. They tell Anna they will buy her a new pen.
+
+But Anna doesn't want a new pen. She wants her old pen. Her bright and shiny pen. She misses her pen. She hopes the fish will take good care of it.

+One day, Lily saw a new ribbon in her mom's drawer. It was shiny and pink and very long. Lily wanted to use it for her doll. She took the ribbon and ran to her room. She was very quiet, so mom would not hear her.
+
+She cut the ribbon with her scissors. She cut and cut until she had many pieces. She made a lot of bows for her doll. She put them on her doll's hair, dress, shoes and even ears. She was very happy. Her doll looked like a princess.
+
+But then, she saw something on the floor. It was the rest of the ribbon. It was very short. Only an inch long. Lily felt bad. She had used all the ribbon. Mom would be angry. She did not know what to do.
+
+She heard mom coming to her room. She hid the ribbon under her bed. She hoped mom would not see it. She picked up her doll and smiled. She made her doll bow to mom. She said, "Look, mom, my doll is so pretty. She has many bows. Do you like them?"
+
+Mom looked at the doll. She saw the bows. She saw the colors. She saw the shiny and pink ribbon. She knew it was hers. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, where did you get this ribbon? Did you take it from my drawer?"
+
+Lily felt scared. She nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make bows for my doll. I did not mean to use all the ribbon. Please don't be mad."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Lily, you should not take things without asking. That was my ribbon. I was going to use it for a gift. Now I have to buy a new one. You have to learn to share and to ask before you use something. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I will share and ask next time. Can I keep the bows for my doll? They are very pretty."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can keep the bows for your doll. They are very pretty. But you have to help me clean up the mess. And you have to give me a hug and say sorry."
+
+Lily hugged mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. Thank you for letting me keep the bows."
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. But next time, be more careful with my things. And don't be so quiet. I like to hear you play."
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. Anna has new sunglasses. They are pink and shiny. She wants to show them to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, look at my sunglasses!" Anna says. She puts them on and smiles.
+
+"Wow, Anna, they are very pretty!" Ben says. He likes Anna's sunglasses. He wants to try them too. "Can I wear them, please?"
+
+"Okay, Ben, but be careful. They are new and I don't want them to break." Anna says. She gives her sunglasses to Ben. He puts them on and looks around.
+
+"Everything is dark and cool!" Ben says. He feels like a star. He walks around the park with Anna's sunglasses.
+
+But then, a loud noise makes them jump. It is a big truck. It is honking and driving fast. Ben and Anna are scared. They run to the side of the road. Ben drops Anna's sunglasses. They fall on the ground and get dirty.
+
+"Oh no, Anna, I'm sorry!" Ben says. He picks up the sunglasses. They have dust and mud on them. He feels bad.
+
+"It's okay, Ben, don't worry." Anna says. She is not angry. She knows it was an accident. She takes the sunglasses from Ben. She looks for something to clean them.
+
+She sees a soft cloth on a bench. It belongs to a lady who is reading a book. Anna asks the lady if she can use the cloth.
+
+"Excuse me, lady, can I borrow your cloth?" Anna says. She points to the sunglasses.
+
+"Sure, sweetie, what do you need it for?" the lady says. She smiles and gives the cloth to Anna.
+
+"Thank you, lady. I need to polish my sunglasses. They are dirty." Anna says. She rubs the cloth on the sunglasses. She makes them shiny again.
+
+"There, they are clean now!" Anna says. She puts the sunglasses back on. She is happy. She gives the cloth back to the lady.
+
+"Thank you, lady, you are very nice." Anna says.
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie. You have very nice sunglasses." the lady says.
+
+Anna and Ben say goodbye to the lady. They go back to playing in the park. They share the sunglasses and have fun. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were waiting for their grandma to arrive. They had made a card for her with crayons and stickers. They wrote "We love you, Grandma" on the card and drew hearts and flowers.
+
+They heard a car stop outside the house. They ran to the window and saw their grandma get out of the car. She had a big suitcase and a smile on her face.
+
+"Grandma, grandma!" they shouted and ran to the door. They hugged their grandma and gave her the card. "This is for you, Grandma. We made it ourselves."
+
+"Oh, thank you, my darlings. This is the best card ever. You are so sweet and clever." Grandma said and kissed them. She looked at the card and smiled. "I love you, too, Lily and Ben."
+
+"Come on, Grandma. Let's go to your room. You must be tired from the long trip." Lily said and took her grandma's hand. Ben helped her with the suitcase. They showed her the room where she would sleep. It had a cozy bed and a lamp with a star on it.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben. This is a lovely room. You are very kind and helpful." Grandma said and put her suitcase on the floor. She sat on the bed and hugged them. "I'm so happy to see you. I missed you a lot."
+
+"We missed you, too, Grandma. We have so many things to tell you and show you." Ben said and smiled. "But first, you should rest. You can sleep now and we will play later."
+
+"Okay, my darlings. You are right. I am a bit tired. But I will wake up soon and we will have fun together." Grandma said and kissed them. "Good night, Lily and Ben."
+
+"Good night, Grandma. We love you." Lily and Ben said and left the room. They closed the door softly and went to their own room. They were happy that their grandma had arrived. They could not wait to play with her tomorrow.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the string and the beads. They could make necklaces, bracelets, and belts with the string and the beads. They were very organized and always put their toys back in the box when they were done.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big necklace for their mom. They used all the string and all the beads they had. They worked hard and made a beautiful necklace. They were very proud of their work and wanted to show it to their mom.
+
+But before they could do that, their dog Spot came into the room. Spot was hungry and curious. He saw the necklace on the table and thought it was food. He jumped on the table and grabbed the necklace with his mouth. He started to eat the string and the beads.
+
+Lily and Ben saw what Spot was doing and shouted, "No, Spot, no! That is not food, that is our necklace! Drop it, drop it!"
+
+But Spot did not listen. He liked the taste of the string and the beads. He swallowed them all and licked his lips.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They had worked so hard on the necklace and now it was gone. They cried and scolded Spot.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw what had happened and hugged Lily and Ben. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves, I know you made a nice necklace for me. But you should not leave your toys on the table. They are not safe there. Spot does not know what is food and what is not. He could get sick from eating the string and the beads. You should always put your toys back in the box when you are not playing with them."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We're sorry, mom. We were not organized. We will put our toys back in the box next time. We hope Spot will be okay."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I'm sure he will be fine. He is a strong dog. But let's take him to the vet anyway, just to be sure. And don't worry, I still love you very much. And I'm sure you can make another necklace for me someday."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged their mom and said, "We love you too, mom. And we will make you the best necklace ever."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be organized and take care of your things. Don't leave them where they can be damaged or eaten by someone or something. And always show love and forgiveness to your family and friends.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. They made a harbor in their backyard with a big tub of water and some rocks. They pretended to be sailors and captains.
+
+One day, a grumpy old man came to their house. He said he was their uncle and he wanted to stay for a while. He saw their boats and said, "What are these toys? They are too small and silly. I own a real boat, a big and strong one. It is in the harbor by the sea. You should come and see it."
+
+Lila and Ben did not like the old man. He was rude and mean. He did not want to play with them or let them have fun. He only talked about his boat and how great it was. He said their boats were nothing compared to his.
+
+The next day, the old man took them to the harbor by the sea. He showed them his boat. It was big and strong, but also dirty and rusty. It had holes and cracks and cobwebs. It looked sad and lonely. The old man said, "This is my boat. It is the best boat in the world. No one can touch it or use it. It is mine and only mine."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry for the boat. They thought it needed some love and care. They said, "Your boat is not happy. It is lonely and dirty. It needs some friends and some water. Can we help you clean it and fix it? Can we play with it and make it smile?"
+
+The old man was surprised. He had not heard anyone say nice things about his boat in a long time. He had not played with it or taken it to the water in a long time. He had forgotten how much he loved his boat. He said, "You want to help me? You want to play with my boat? You are very kind and brave. Maybe you are right. Maybe my boat needs some friends and some water. Maybe I need some friends and some water too. Come on, let's go and make my boat happy."
+
+Lila and Ben smiled. They were happy to help the old man and his boat. They took some buckets and brushes and cleaned the boat. They took some tools and tape and fixed the boat. They took some flags and flowers and decorated the boat. They made the boat look bright and beautiful. They pushed the boat to the water and climbed on board. They sailed the boat around the harbor and waved to the other boats. They made the boat laugh and sing.
+
+The old man smiled too. He was happy to see his boat and his niece and nephew happy. He was happy to feel the water and the wind on his face. He was happy to hear the laughter and the songs in his ears. He said, "Thank you, Lila and Ben. You have made my boat and me happy. You have taught me a lesson. A boat is not a thing to own and keep. A boat is a thing to share and enjoy. You can play with my boat anytime you want. You are my friends and my family."
+
+Lila and Ben hugged the old man. They said, "You are welcome, uncle. You have made us happy too. You have given us a gift. A boat is not a toy to break and throw. A boat is a toy to love and grow. We will play with your boat anytime you want. You are our friend and our uncle."
+
+They sailed the boat back to the dock and tied it to a post. They said goodbye to the boat and the other boats. They said they would come back soon. They walked back to the old man's car and drove back to their house. They were tired but happy. They had a new friend and a new toy. They had a boat in the harbor by the sea.
+Lily liked to help her mom cook. She liked to stir and pour and taste. One day, mom was making a cake for dad's birthday. Lily wanted to see the cake in the oven.
+
+"Can I look, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. The cake is still hot. You have to wait," mom said.
+
+But Lily was curious. She saw a chair near the oven. She climbed on the chair and leaned over the oven door. She wanted to peek inside.
+
+"Ouch!" Lily screamed. She felt a big pain on her face. She had leaned too close to the oven and burned herself. The oven was very hot, not normal.
+
+Mom heard Lily's scream and ran to her. She saw Lily's face was red and blistered. She was scared and sad.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what did you do?" mom cried. She hugged Lily and took her to the sink. She ran cold water over Lily's face. She called dad and told him to come home. They had to take Lily to the doctor.
+
+Lily cried and cried. She was sorry she didn't listen to mom. She wished she had waited for the cake. She wished she had a normal face. She didn't have a happy birthday with dad. She had a bad day.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll with a pink dress and Max had a small car with four wheels. They were having fun until Max saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Can I have your doll?" Max asked Lily.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "You have your car!"
+
+"But I like your doll!" Max said. "It has a spot on its face!"
+
+Lily looked at her doll and saw a small brown spot on its cheek. She did not know how it happened. Maybe it was from the chocolate she ate yesterday. She did not want to share her doll with Max.
+
+"Go away, Max!" Lily said. "You can't have my doll! It is special!"
+
+Max felt frustrated. He wanted to play with the doll, not the car. He thought Lily was mean. He decided to take the doll from her. He grabbed the doll's arm and pulled hard.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Lily shouted. "Let go of my doll!"
+
+They both pulled the doll until it ripped. The doll's arm came off and the stuffing came out. Lily and Max looked at the broken doll and felt sad. They had ruined their toy.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She saw the mess and the tears on their faces. She was not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked. "Why did you break the doll?"
+
+Lily and Max did not know what to say. They felt sorry for what they did. They wished they had played nicely. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+Mom saw that they were sorry. She was not angry anymore. She said she would fix the doll later. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She told them to share their toys and be kind to each other. She gave them some cookies and milk. They smiled and said thank you. They learned their lesson.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a coat. The coat is red and blue. The dog looks nice.
+
+"Hello, dog," Sara says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. He runs to Sara and Ben. He jumps on them. He licks their faces. He is happy.
+
+"Stop, dog!" Ben says. "You are too big. You are making us fall."
+
+The dog does not stop. He wants to play. He pulls Sara's hat. He bites Ben's shoe. He is difficult.
+
+"Help, help!" Sara and Ben shout. "We need help!"
+
+A man comes. He is the dog's owner. He has a leash. He puts the leash on the dog.
+
+"I'm sorry," the man says. "He is a good dog, but he is very excited. His name is Max."
+
+"Max is a nice name," Sara says. "But he is a big dog. He is too strong for us."
+
+"Yes, he is," the man says. "He needs to learn some manners. Come on, Max. Let's go home."
+
+The man and Max leave. Sara and Ben get up. They are dirty and messy. They are not happy.
+
+"Let's go home, too," Ben says. "We need to clean our clothes."
+
+"OK," Sara says. "But next time, let's play with a smaller dog."
+Tim and Jen were playing in the old house. They liked to look for hidden things and make up stories. They saw a door with a big lock on it. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Maybe it is a treasure room," Tim said.
+
+"Or a secret garden," Jen said.
+
+They tried to open the door, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They were sad.
+
+Then they heard a noise. It was a cat. The cat was black and white and had a shiny collar. The cat came to them and rubbed its head on their legs. They petted the cat and saw something on its collar. It was a key!
+
+"Look, the cat has a key!" Tim said.
+
+"Maybe it is the key for the door," Jen said.
+
+They took the key from the cat and thanked it. They put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a creak. They saw a lot of dust and cobwebs inside. They were not scared. They were curious.
+
+They went inside and looked around. They saw old books and toys and clothes. They saw a rocking horse and a dollhouse and a train set. They saw a picture of a boy and a girl who looked like the cat.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing," Tim said.
+
+"This is lucky," Jen said.
+
+They played with the things and had fun. They felt like they had found a new friend. The cat followed them and purred. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, they found a big balloon that looked like an elephant. It was gray and had a long nose and big ears. They were very happy and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Let's split the balloon and each have half," Tom said. He thought that would be fair.
+
+"No, let's not split it. Let's take turns and play with it together," Lily said. She thought that would be more fun.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He took a pair of scissors and cut the balloon in the middle. The balloon popped with a loud noise and the air came out. The elephant balloon was gone. Lily and Tom were sad and angry.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Lily asked. "Now we have nothing to play with."
+
+"I wanted to have my own half," Tom said. "But it was a bad idea. I'm sorry, Lily."
+
+Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned that splitting things is not always good. Sometimes, it is better to share and enjoy things together. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to look for another toy to play with. They hoped to find something lively and fun.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the tent. The tent is big and soft and has many colors. They bring their toys and books and pillows to the tent. They have fun in the tent.
+
+One day, it rains a lot. The grass is wet and muddy. Lily and Ben want to go to the tent, but they have to be careful. They put on their boots and coats and hats. They hold hands and walk to the tent.
+
+But Lily does not see a big puddle. She steps on the puddle and slips. She falls down and gets wet and dirty. She cries. Ben helps her get up. He hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lily. You are not hurt. Let's go to the tent."
+
+They go to the tent and take off their boots and coats and hats. They dry themselves with a towel. They cuddle in the tent with their toys and books and pillows. They are warm and cozy and happy in the tent. They forget about the rain and the mud and the puddle. They smile and laugh and play in the tent.
+Sam and Mia like to play outside when it is dark. They have a flashlight that makes a bright light. They run and speed with the flashlight in the grass. They look for bugs and frogs and stars.
+
+One night, they hear a loud noise in the bushes. They are scared. They point the flashlight at the noise. They see a big, black dog. The dog has yellow eyes and sharp teeth. The dog is hungry. It growls and runs at them.
+
+Sam and Mia scream and speed back to the house. They slam the door and lock it. They hug each other and breathe hard. They are safe. They are glad they have the flashlight. They do not want to play outside when it is dark anymore.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the park. But today it is very cold. They need to wear coats and hats and gloves.
+
+"Let's go on the swings!" Lily says. She runs to the swings and sits on one. She pushes with her feet and goes high.
+
+"Wait for me!" Tom says. He runs after her and sits on the other swing. He pushes with his feet and goes high too.
+
+They swing and swing and laugh and have fun. They forget how cold it is.
+
+But then they see a man. He is sitting on a bench. He has no coat, no hat, no gloves. He looks sad and cold. He has a bag, but it is empty.
+
+"Who is he?" Lily asks. She stops swinging and looks at the man.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. He stops swinging too and looks at the man.
+
+They feel sorry for the man. They want to help him.
+
+"Let's give him something," Lily says. She gets off the swing and takes off her coat. She walks to the man and says, "Hello, sir. You look cold. Do you want my coat?"
+
+The man looks at Lily. He smiles a little. He says, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. But I can't take your coat. You need it more than me."
+
+Lily feels sad. She says, "But I have another coat at home. And you have nothing."
+
+The man says, "That's very sweet of you. But I have something too. I have hope. Hope that things will get better. Hope that someone will help me. Hope that I will find a home."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "I hope so too, sir. I hope you find a home. And I hope you find a coat. And a hat. And gloves."
+
+She puts her coat back on and hugs the man. He hugs her back and says, "Thank you, little girl. You made me happy. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "You're welcome, sir. You are a good friend too."
+
+She runs back to Tom and says, "Let's go play some more!"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Okay!"
+
+They run to the slide and slide down. They giggle and have fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom is a dog. He likes to run and play with his ball. He is a good dog. He listens to his owner, Sam. Sam is a boy. He loves Tom very much.
+
+One day, Sam and Tom go for a walk in the park. They see many other dogs and people. Tom is happy. He wags his tail and barks hello. Sam throws the ball for Tom. Tom runs fast and catches the ball. He brings it back to Sam.
+
+But then, Tom sees a big cat. The cat is black and white. It has sharp claws and teeth. It hisses at Tom. Tom does not like the cat. He growls and chases the cat. The cat runs away. Tom follows the cat.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Sam calls. He is worried. He does not want Tom to get hurt. He runs after Tom. But Tom is faster. He does not hear Sam.
+
+The cat runs across the street. There are many cars and trucks. They are loud and fast. They are dangerous. Tom does not see them. He only sees the cat. He jumps on the street.
+
+"Tom, stop!" Sam shouts. He is scared. He sees a big truck coming. It is red and shiny. It has a loud horn. It does not see Tom.
+
+But then, a lady sees Tom. She is walking her dog. Her dog is small and brown. It has a pink collar. It is alert. It sees Tom and the truck. It barks and pulls the lady.
+
+The lady sees the danger. She is quick. She runs to the street. She grabs Tom by his collar. She pulls him back. She saves Tom.
+
+The truck passes by. It honks its horn. It is angry. But Tom is safe. He is on the sidewalk. He is not hurt. He is only scared.
+
+The lady checks Tom. She is kind. She pets him and talks to him. "You are a lucky dog," she says. "You should be more careful. You could have been hit by the truck."
+
+Tom licks her hand. He is grateful. He is sorry. He knows he was bad. He looks for Sam.
+
+Sam runs to Tom. He is relieved. He hugs Tom and thanks the lady. "You are a hero," he says. "You helped my dog. You saved his life."
+
+The lady smiles. She is happy. She introduces her dog. "This is Lila," she says. "She is a smart dog. She saw the truck and alerted me. She helped me help your dog."
+
+Sam and Tom meet Lila. They are friendly. They say hello. They thank her. Lila wags her tail. She is proud. She likes Sam and Tom.
+
+Sam, Tom, and Lila become friends. They play together in the park. They share the ball. They have fun. They are careful. They watch for cars and trucks. They are good dogs. They listen to their owners. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play near the river. One day, they see a kayak on the water. It is red and shiny. They want to try it.
+
+"Can we go in the kayak?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"I don't know. It looks big and fast. Maybe it is not for us," Mia says.
+
+But Tom is brave. He runs to the kayak and climbs in. He finds a paddle and starts to move. He feels happy and proud.
+
+"Look at me, Mia! I can kayak!" he shouts.
+
+Mia is scared. She does not want to lose Tom. She runs after him on the shore. She calls his name.
+
+"Tom, come back! It is not safe! You are too little for the kayak!"
+
+But Tom does not listen. He is having fun. He goes farther and farther from Mia. He does not see the rocks and the rapids ahead. He does not hear the water roar.
+
+Suddenly, he feels a bump. The kayak hits a rock and flips over. Tom falls into the water. He is wet and cold. He is scared and sorry.
+
+"Help! Help!" he cries.
+
+Mia hears him. She sees him in the water. She runs to a big man who has a boat. She tells him what happened.
+
+"Please, help Tom! He is in the water! He is in trouble!"
+
+The big man nods. He takes Mia in his boat and goes to Tom. He pulls Tom out of the water and into the boat. He wraps him in a blanket. He is kind and gentle.
+
+"Are you okay, little boy?" he asks Tom.
+
+Tom nods. He is shivering and crying. He is glad to see Mia. He hugs her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The kayak was not for me."
+
+Mia hugs him back. She is happy and relieved. She forgives him.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are safe. Next time, let's play something else."
+
+They both yawn. They are tired and sleepy. The big man takes them back to the shore. He gives them cookies and juice. He tells them to be careful and have fun.
+
+Tom and Mia thank him. They hold hands and walk home. They are still friends. They have learned a lesson.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Lila says. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK!" Tom says. "But we need to zip our coats. It is cold today."
+
+They zip their coats and run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They go fast and laugh. They have fun.
+
+But then, the sun comes out. The sun is hot. The slide gets hot too. Lila and Tom do not know. They keep playing.
+
+Lila goes on the slide again. She feels something burn her leg. She screams. "Ow! Ow! Ow! The slide is hot! It hurts!"
+
+Tom hears her scream. He runs to help her. But he slips on the slide. He falls and hits his head. He cries. "Ow! Ow! Ow! The slide is hot! It hurts!"
+
+Lila and Tom are hurt. They are sad. They want to go home. They do not like the slide anymore. The slide is bad. The end.
+Lily likes to go to the park with her mom. She likes to see the trees, the flowers, the birds and the bugs. She thinks nature is beautiful. She likes to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. She likes to make friends with other kids.
+
+One day, Lily sees a shiny thing on the ground. She picks it up and looks at it. It is a ring. It has a red stone that sparkles in the sun. Lily thinks it is pretty. She puts it on her finger and shows it to her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, I found a ring!" Lily says.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice ring, Lily. Where did you find it?" mom asks.
+
+"I found it in the grass, over there." Lily points.
+
+Mom looks at the ring and smiles. She says, "Lily, you are very lucky. This ring is special. It is a magic ring. Do you know what it can do?"
+
+Lily shakes her head. She does not know.
+
+Mom says, "This ring can make a wish come true. If you hold it and say what you want, it will ring and grant your wish. But you can only use it once, so be careful what you wish for."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She wonders what she wants. She has many things she likes, but she also has some things she does not like. She does not like when it rains, when she is sick, when she has to go to bed early, or when she has no one to play with.
+
+She holds the ring and says, "I wish I could always be happy and have fun."
+
+The ring rings. It makes a soft and sweet sound. Lily feels a warm and fuzzy feeling in her heart. She smiles and hugs her mom.
+
+"Thank you, ring. Thank you, mom. I love you." Lily says.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are my happy and fun girl." mom says.
+
+They go back to playing in the park, enjoying the beautiful nature and the magic ring.
+Anna loved pie. She liked to help her mom make pie in the kitchen. She would roll the dough, cut the fruit, and sprinkle the sugar. She was very good at making pie.
+
+One day, mom made a big apple pie for dad. It smelled so good. Anna wanted to eat some pie right away. But mom said they had to wait for dad to come home. She put the pie on the window sill to cool down.
+
+Anna went to play with her toys in the living room. But she could not stop thinking about the pie. She wanted a bite so badly. She decided to sneak a peek at the pie. She tiptoed to the window and gazed at the pie. It looked so yummy. She reached out her hand to touch the pie.
+
+But then she heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the dog. He was also enthusiastic about the pie. He jumped up and knocked the pie off the window sill. The pie fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Rex started to eat the pie.
+
+Anna was shocked. She cried out loud. Mom heard her and came to the window. She saw the mess and the dog. She was not happy. She scolded Rex and Anna. She said they were both naughty and had to go to their rooms.
+
+Anna felt sorry. She did not mean to ruin the pie. She wished she had listened to mom and waited for dad. She learned her lesson. She never gazed at the pie again.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle on a leaf. It was black and shiny, with long legs and horns.
+
+"Wow, look at that beetle!" Tom said. "I want to catch it and put it in a jar."
+
+"No, don't do that!" Mia said. "The beetle is lively and happy. It wants to climb and fly. It doesn't want to be in a jar."
+
+Tom did not listen to Mia. He reached for the beetle with his hand. But the beetle was fast and smart. It climbed up the leaf and flew away. Tom tried to follow it, but he tripped on a rock and fell down. He scraped his knee and cried.
+
+Mia ran to Tom and helped him up. She gave him a hug and a band-aid. She said, "I'm sorry you hurt yourself, Tom. But you should not try to catch the beetle. The beetle is not a toy. It is a living thing. It has feelings and needs. You should let it be free and happy."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "You're right, Mia. I was wrong. I'm sorry, beetle. I hope you find a nice place to climb and fly. Maybe we can see you again, but we won't bother you."
+
+Mia smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Tom. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Come on, let's go and find some other bugs and flowers. Maybe we can see a butterfly or a ladybug. They are also lively and pretty."
+
+Tom and Mia held hands and walked away. They enjoyed playing in the garden and watching the bugs and flowers. They were good friends and good to nature.
+Tom and Anna like to play music. They have a drum, a flute, and a guitar. They make sounds with them and try to follow a rhythm. A rhythm is when you make sounds that go fast and slow, or loud and soft, in a pattern.
+
+One day, a new boy moves next door. His name is Ben. He has a big box with him. Tom and Anna are curious. They go to say hello.
+
+"Hi, I'm Tom. This is Anna. We live here. What's your name?" Tom asks.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. I just moved here. What are you playing?" Ben asks.
+
+"We are playing music. Do you like music?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, I love music. Can I play with you?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can play with us. What do you have in your box?" Tom asks.
+
+Ben opens his box and shows them. He has a xylophone. A xylophone is a toy that has many bars of different colors and sizes. You hit them with a stick and they make different sounds.
+
+"Wow, that's a cool xylophone. Can you play it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, I can. Do you want to hear?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, please. Show us how you play it." Tom says.
+
+Ben takes out his xylophone and his stick. He starts to hit the bars and make sounds. He follows a rhythm that he knows. Tom and Anna listen and clap their hands. They like the sounds that Ben makes.
+
+"That's awesome. You are very good at playing the xylophone. You have a good rhythm." Tom says.
+
+"Thank you. You are very good at playing the drum and the flute. And you have a good rhythm too." Ben says.
+
+"Thank you. And you are very good at playing the guitar. And you have a good rhythm too." Anna says.
+
+"Thank you. You are all very nice. Can we be friends?" Ben asks.
+
+"Of course we can be friends. You are very welcome here. We like to play music with you." Tom and Anna say.
+
+They smile and hug each other. They are happy to have a new friend who likes music. They decide to play more music together. They take turns to play the xylophone, the drum, the flute, and the guitar. They make sounds that go fast and slow, or loud and soft, in a pattern. They follow a rhythm that they like. They have fun and learn from each other. They find out that music is a useful way to make friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play sport. Sport is fun and good for them. They can run, jump, kick, and throw.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big field with many kids. The kids are playing soccer. Lily and Ben want to play too.
+
+They ask their moms if they can join. Their moms say yes, but they have to sit and watch first. They have to learn the rules and wait for their turn. Lily and Ben are not happy. They want to play now.
+
+They sit on the grass and watch. They see the kids run, kick, and score. They see the kids cheer, high-five, and hug. They see the kids help, share, and say sorry. They see the kids have fun and be kind.
+
+Lily and Ben start to understand. Sport is not only fun and good for them. Sport is also important for making friends and learning values. They want to be part of the team.
+
+They wait for their turn. When the coach calls them, they run to the field. They say hello to the kids. They listen to the coach. They follow the rules. They play their best. They have fun and be kind.
+
+They score, cheer, high-five, and hug. They help, share, and say sorry. They make friends and learn values. They are part of the team.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They thank their moms for letting them join. They thank the coach for teaching them. They thank the kids for playing with them. They love sport.
+
+Moral: Sport is fun and good for you, but it is also important for making friends and learning values. You have to sit and watch first, learn the rules and wait for your turn. You have to play your best, have fun and be kind. You have to be part of the team.
+Lily was very happy today. She had a new friend to play with. Her name was Anna and she lived next door. Lily's mom said they could have a tea party in the kitchen.
+
+"Hello, Anna. I am Lily. Do you like tea?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Thank you for inviting me, Lily. You have a nice kitchen," Anna said.
+
+Lily smiled and showed Anna her toys. She had a tea set, a doll, and a book. She also had a toy oven that looked like a regular oven, but smaller.
+
+"This is my oven. I can make cookies and cakes with it. Do you want to help me?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, that sounds fun. How do we make them?" Anna said.
+
+Lily opened the oven and took out some plastic dough. She gave some to Anna and they rolled it and cut it into shapes. Then they put the shapes on a tray and slid it into the oven.
+
+"We have to wait for a little bit. Then they will be ready," Lily said.
+
+They sat on the floor and pretended to drink tea and read the book. They talked about their favorite colors, animals, and games. They liked each other very much.
+
+Soon, the oven made a ding sound. Lily and Anna jumped up and ran to the oven. Lily opened it and took out the tray. The cookies and cakes looked delicious.
+
+"Wow, they smell good. Can we eat them?" Anna said.
+
+"Of course. They are for us. Here, you can have this one. It is a star," Lily said.
+
+She gave Anna a star cookie and took a heart cake for herself. They bit into them and smiled.
+
+"Mmm, they are yummy. You are a good baker, Lily," Anna said.
+
+"Thank you. You are a good helper, Anna. You are my new best friend," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and ate their cookies and cakes. They were very happy. Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that Lily had a new friend. She hoped they would play together again soon.
+Anna and Ben moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Mom said they could choose their own rooms and decorate them.
+
+Anna picked a room with a big window and a pink closet. She opened the closet and saw a lot of hangers and shelves. She wanted to put her clothes and toys in the closet. She asked Ben to help her.
+
+"Ben, can you help me unpack my boxes?" she said.
+
+Ben was in his room, playing with his cars. He did not want to stop. He said, "No, I am busy. You can do it by yourself."
+
+Anna felt sad. She did not like to unpack alone. She said, "Please, Ben, I need your help. It will be more fun if we do it together."
+
+Ben looked at his sister. He saw her big eyes and her frown. He felt sorry for her. He remembered that Mom and Dad always told them to be compassionate. That meant to be kind and caring to others.
+
+He decided to help Anna. He said, "Okay, I will help you. But only for a little while. Then I want to play with my cars again."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I will help you with your room later."
+
+They went to Anna's room and unpacked her boxes. They put her clothes on the hangers and her toys on the shelves. They had fun talking and laughing. They made the closet look pretty and cozy.
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They hugged each other and said, "We love our new house. And we love each other."
+Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big tree and waited for Lily to find him. He was very quiet and still. He thought he had a good hidden spot.
+
+Lily looked around the park. She saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox and the flowers. She did not see Tom. She called out, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you!" She heard no answer. She walked closer to the big tree.
+
+Tom heard Lily's voice. He wanted to stay hidden, but he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He let out a big sneeze. "Achoo!"
+
+Lily heard the sneeze. She smiled and ran to the big tree. She saw Tom behind it. She said, "I found you, Tom! You sneezed and gave yourself away!" She tagged him on the arm.
+
+Tom came out from behind the tree. He rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry, Lily. I could not help it. I sneezed because of the flowers. They make me sneeze sometimes." He smiled and said, "You are a good seeker, Lily. Now it's my turn to seek and your turn to hide. Let's play again!"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, Tom. Let's play again. Hide and seek is fun!" She ran to find a new hidden spot. Tom counted to ten and then started to look for her. They played until it was time to go home. They had a lot of fun in the park.
+Tim and Liz were playing in the garden. They liked to swing on the big vine that hung from the tree. They took turns to hold the vine and pass it to each other.
+
+"Swing, swing, swing!" Tim shouted as he flew in the air.
+
+"Pass, pass, pass!" Liz said as she waited for the vine.
+
+They had fun for a while, but then they got bored. They wanted to do something else.
+
+"Let's go and see the pond," Liz suggested. "Maybe we can find some frogs or fish."
+
+"OK," Tim agreed. "But we have to be careful. The pond is deep and wet."
+
+They left the vine and walked to the pond. They saw some water lilies and dragonflies. They looked for frogs and fish, but they could not see any.
+
+"Where are they?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know," Liz said. "Maybe they are hiding."
+
+They decided to sit on the edge of the pond and wait. They hoped to see some frogs or fish soon. They were not bored anymore. They were curious.
+Lily likes to number her toys. She has one doll, two cars, three books, and four blocks. She puts them in a line and counts them. One, two, three, four, five. She is happy.
+
+But today, her brother Max comes and takes her doll. He says it is his doll. Lily says no, it is her doll. She tries to get it back, but Max runs away. Lily is sad and angry.
+
+She runs after him and sees him in the kitchen. He is playing with her doll and a spoon. He is making the doll eat soup. But he is not careful. He drops the doll on the floor. The doll's head breaks off. Lily gasps. Her doll is broken.
+
+She cries and shouts at Max. "You broke my doll! You are bad! Give it back to me!" Max is scared. He says he is sorry. He did not mean to break the doll. He gives it back to Lily.
+
+Lily holds her broken doll and sobs. She does not want to play with Max anymore. She goes to her room and puts her doll on her bed. She counts her toys again. One, two, three, four. She is sad.
+Lila and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Zip.
+
+"Zip is our friend," Lila said. "He likes the cold."
+
+"Let's play tag with Zip," Sam said. "You are it!"
+
+Sam ran away from Lila and Zip. Lila chased him. She was fast. She almost caught him. But then she slipped on the ice. She fell down. She hurt her knee.
+
+"Ow!" Lila cried. "Sam, help me!"
+
+Sam heard Lila. He stopped running. He turned around. He saw Lila on the ground. He ran back to her.
+
+"Lila, are you okay?" Sam asked. He was worried.
+
+"My knee hurts," Lila said. She was sad.
+
+Sam looked at Lila's knee. It was red and wet. He took off his scarf. He wrapped it around Lila's knee. He hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila," Sam said. "I didn't mean to make you fall."
+
+"It's okay, Sam," Lila said. "You are a good brother."
+
+They looked at Zip. He was still standing in the snow. He smiled at them.
+
+"Zip is still our friend," Lila said. "He is not mad at us."
+
+"Let's be careful with Zip," Sam said. "We don't want him to melt."
+
+They got up. They held hands. They walked to Zip. They gave him a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Zip," Lila said. "You are a cool snowman."
+
+"Freeze!" Sam said. He pretended to be a snowman too.
+
+Lila laughed. She pretended to be a snowman too.
+
+They played freeze tag with Zip. They had fun. They were happy.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was scary. It had sharp teeth and loud bark. Ben and Mia were afraid of the dog.
+
+"Let's plan how to get away from the dog," Ben said to Mia. "We can hide behind the slide or run to the swings."
+
+"I have a better plan," Mia said. She reached into her pocket and took out a biscuit. "We can give the biscuit to the dog. Maybe the dog will be nice and stop barking."
+
+Ben liked Mia's plan. He nodded and smiled. They walked slowly to the dog and held out the biscuit. The dog sniffed the biscuit and wagged its tail. It took the biscuit from Mia's hand and ate it. Then it licked Mia's face and Ben's hand.
+
+"See? The dog is not scary. The dog is hungry and friendly," Mia said.
+
+Ben and Mia were happy. They made a new friend. They played with the dog in the park. They gave it more biscuits from Mia's pocket. They named the dog Spot. They had fun.
+Tom is a big boy. He is four years old. He likes to play with his toys and his dog, Rex. Rex is a good dog. He is brown and soft and he likes to run and bark.
+
+One day, Tom and Rex go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can play for a long time. Tom is happy. He sees a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. He runs to the slide and climbs up. Rex follows him and waits at the bottom.
+
+"Look, Mom, I'm going to slide!" Tom shouts. He sits on the slide and pushes himself down. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughs as he reaches the bottom. Rex jumps on him and licks his face. Tom hugs Rex and says, "You're a good dog, Rex. I love you."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Tom. You're a brave boy. Do you want to try the swing?"
+
+Tom nods and runs to the swing. He sits on the seat and holds the ropes. Mom pushes him gently and he starts to swing. He feels like he is flying. He sees the trees and the sky and the distant hills. He says, "Wow, this is fun! I can see everything!"
+
+Rex barks and runs around the swing. He tries to catch Tom's feet. Tom says, "Stop, Rex, you're silly. You can't catch me. I'm too fast."
+
+Mom laughs and says, "You're right, Tom. You're very fast. But be careful, don't swing too high. You might hurt your neck."
+
+Tom says, "OK, Mom, I'll be careful. I don't want to hurt my neck. I want to play more."
+
+Mom says, "All right, Tom, you can play more. But soon we have to go home. We have to test your new puzzle. Do you remember the puzzle I bought you yesterday?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, Mom, I remember. It's a puzzle of a farm. It has a cow and a pig and a chicken and a tractor. I can't wait to test it. I like puzzles. They make me think."
+
+Mom says, "That's good, Tom. Puzzles are good for your brain. They help you learn new words and shapes and colors. Maybe you can teach Rex some words too. He's a smart dog. He can learn."
+
+Tom says, "Yes, Mom, I can teach Rex some words. I can teach him sit and stay and fetch and roll over. He already knows his name and come and no and good. He's a very smart dog. He's my best friend."
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad you have a best friend, Tom. And I'm glad you're happy. You're a wonderful boy. And I'm proud of you."
+
+Tom says, "Thank you, Mom. You're the best mom ever. And I'm proud of you too."
+Lila was a little girl who liked to solve puzzles. She had many puzzles with animals, shapes, and colors. She liked to put the pieces together and see the pictures.
+
+One day, she found a new puzzle in her room. It was a big puzzle with a whip and a lion. Lila was curious. She wanted to solve the puzzle and see what it was.
+
+She opened the box and took out the pieces. She looked for the corners and the edges. She tried to match the colors and the shapes. She worked hard and fast.
+
+But the puzzle was hard. Some pieces did not fit. Some pieces were missing. Lila was frustrated. She could not solve the puzzle. She wanted to give up.
+
+She called her mom. "Mom, I need help. I can't solve this puzzle. It is too hard. Some pieces are gone. What is a whip? What is a lion?"
+
+Her mom came to her room. She smiled and hugged Lila. "Don't worry, sweetie. This puzzle is not for you. It is for your big brother. He likes whips and lions. They are things from a circus. A whip is a long thing that makes a loud sound. A lion is a big cat that roars. They are not for little girls like you. You have your own puzzles that are just right for you. Why don't you try this one? It has a flower and a butterfly. They are pretty and nice. Do you like them?"
+
+Lila nodded. She liked flowers and butterflies. She put the whip and lion puzzle back in the box. She took the flower and butterfly puzzle. She started to solve it. She found the corners and the edges. She matched the colors and the shapes. She finished the puzzle. She was happy. She solved it. She showed her mom.
+
+"Look, mom. I solved this puzzle. It is a flower and a butterfly. They are pretty and nice. I like them."
+
+Her mom clapped and cheered. "Good job, Lila. You are a smart and clever girl. You can solve any puzzle you want. I am proud of you."
+
+Lila smiled and hugged her mom. She felt good. She liked to solve puzzles. She liked her mom. She liked herself.
+Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But today, they were grumpy. They had to stay inside because it was raining. They did not want to share their toys or books. They said mean things to each other.
+
+"Go away, Tom! This is my doll. You can't have it!" Sara shouted.
+
+"No, you go away, Sara! This is my car. You can't play with it!" Tom yelled.
+
+They made a lot of noise and mess. Their mom was not happy. She came to their room and said, "Sara and Tom, stop fighting! You need to be nice to each other. If you don't, you won't get any cream after dinner."
+
+Sara and Tom loved cream. It was sweet and smooth and yummy. They did not want to miss it. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Tom."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, why don't you play a game together? How about hide and seek?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They liked hide and seek. They took turns hiding and finding each other. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about being grumpy. They hoped the rain would stop soon. They also hoped they would get some cream after dinner.
+Tom was hungry. He wanted to eat something. He went to the kitchen and saw the big white box. He knew there was food inside. He pulled the handle and opened the box. It was the refrigerator.
+
+He looked inside and saw many things. He saw milk, cheese, eggs, bread, and fruit. He also saw a bowl with something green and fuzzy. He wondered what it was. He reached for it and smelled it. It smelled bad. He made a face and said, "Yuck!"
+
+Mom came into the kitchen and saw Tom. She saw the bowl in his hand. She said, "Tom, put that down! That is spoiled! It is not good to eat. It can make you sick."
+
+Tom dropped the bowl and said, "Sorry, Mom. I did not know. What is spoiled?"
+
+Mom said, "Spoiled means old and rotten. It means the food is not fresh anymore. It means we have to throw it away. We have to keep the refrigerator clean and check the food often. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. Can I have some cheese, please?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have some cheese. But first, help me clean up this mess. Then we can have a snack together."
+
+Tom said, "OK, Mom. I will help you. I love cheese. And I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good boy."
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a white doll with a pink dress and Ben has a red car with a blue label. They are having fun making noises and stories with their toys.
+
+Suddenly, Sara feels a tickle in her nose. She tries to rub it away, but it does not help. She feels a big sneeze coming. She covers her mouth with her hand and says, "Achoo!"
+
+Ben hears Sara sneeze and looks at her. He sees that she has a wet hand and a runny nose. He says, "Are you sick, Sara?"
+
+Sara shakes her head and says, "No, I'm not sick. I just sneezed. It happens sometimes."
+
+Ben nods and says, "I sneeze too, sometimes. But you should wipe your nose and wash your hand. You don't want to spread germs."
+
+Sara agrees and says, "You're right, Ben. Thank you for caring. Can you pass me a tissue, please?"
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Sure, Sara. Here you go." He gives her a tissue from the box on the table. Sara wipes her nose and washes her hand in the sink. Then she returns to the living room and says, "I'm ready to play again. Do you want to trade toys for a while?"
+
+Ben says, "Okay, Sara. That sounds fun. I'll give you my car and you give me your doll. But be careful with the label. It might come off."
+
+Sara says, "Don't worry, Ben. I'll be gentle with the label. And you be gentle with the dress. It might get dirty."
+
+They swap toys and continue playing happily. They are good friends who share and care.
+Anna was very excited. Today was her birthday and she knew her mom had a gift for her. She wondered what it was. Maybe a doll, or a book, or a dress. She could not wait to see it.
+
+She ran to the kitchen where her mom was making a cake. "Mom, mom, can I see my gift now?" she asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. You have to wait until after lunch. Then we will reveal your gift, okay?" her mom said.
+
+Anna nodded, but she was not happy. She wanted to see her gift now. She decided to look for it in the house. Maybe it was in her room, or in the closet, or under the sofa. She searched everywhere, but she could not find it.
+
+She was about to give up when she heard a noise from the garage. She opened the door and saw a big box with a bow on it. She smiled. That must be her gift. She ran to the box and tried to open it. But it was too heavy and too tight. She pulled and pushed, but nothing happened. She felt helpless. She could not open her gift.
+
+She started to cry. "Mom, mom, help me!" she shouted.
+
+Her mom heard her and came to the garage. She saw Anna crying next to the box. She hugged her and said, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry. You were not supposed to see this yet. This is your gift, but you need my help to open it. It's a very special gift."
+
+She lifted the lid of the box and revealed a small, fluffy puppy. The puppy wagged its tail and licked Anna's face. Anna stopped crying and smiled. She loved the puppy. She hugged it and said, "Thank you, mom. This is the best gift ever. What is his name?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "His name is Spot. He is your new friend. Do you like him?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I love him. He is so cute and soft. Can I play with him?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course you can. But first, let's go inside and have some cake. Happy birthday, Anna."
+
+Anna and her mom took Spot inside and had a wonderful birthday party. Anna was very happy. She had a gift, a cake, and a new friend. She could not ask for more.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and throw them at each other. They also liked to make snowmen and snow angels. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew the snow everywhere. It was very cold and loud. The snowflakes scattered in the air and hit their faces. Lily and Tom felt uncomfortable. They could not see well and they shivered.
+
+"Let's go inside, Lily!" Tom shouted. "It's too windy and cold!"
+
+"OK, Tom!" Lily agreed. "But first, let's say goodbye to our snowmen!"
+
+They ran to their snowmen and gave them a hug. They also put a scarf and a hat on them to keep them warm.
+
+"Bye, snowmen!" they said. "We'll see you tomorrow!"
+
+Then, they ran inside their house, where it was warm and cozy. They took off their wet clothes and put on dry ones. They drank some hot chocolate and ate some cookies. They cuddled with their mom and dad on the couch.
+
+They were happy and safe. They liked winter, but they liked their home more.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and white and had a loud bark. Lily and Max were scared of the dog.
+
+"Let's go away!" Lily said to Max. "The dog is mean and big!"
+
+But Max wanted to be brave. He said, "No, Lily, we can resist the dog. We can make a zigzag and run to the other side of the park. The dog will not catch us."
+
+Lily did not like Max's idea. She said, "No, Max, that is silly and dangerous. The dog will chase us and bite us. We should stay here and wait for mom and dad."
+
+But Max did not listen to Lily. He said, "Come on, Lily, don't be a baby. Follow me!" And he ran away from the dog, making a zigzag with his feet.
+
+Lily did not want to follow Max, but she did not want to be alone either. She ran after Max, crying and shouting. "Max, stop, stop, Max!"
+
+The dog saw Max and Lily running and thought they were playing. The dog liked to play. He ran after Max and Lily, barking and wagging his tail.
+
+Max and Lily were miserable. They ran and ran, but the dog was faster. They did not know what to do. They wished they had stayed with the slide and the swing.
+
+Then they saw mom and dad. Mom and dad were looking for them. They saw the dog chasing them. They were worried and angry.
+
+"Max, Lily, what are you doing?" mom shouted. "Stop running and come here!"
+
+"Help, help, mom, dad, help!" Max and Lily shouted. They ran to mom and dad and hugged them.
+
+Mom and dad picked them up and carried them away from the dog. The dog stopped and looked confused. He did not understand why they did not want to play.
+
+Mom and dad scolded Max and Lily. They said, "You should not run away from us. You should not run from the dog. The dog was not mean and big. He was friendly and small. He just wanted to say hello. You should not be scared of him. You should be nice to him."
+
+Max and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom, dad. We did not know. We were scared. We will not do it again."
+

+
+Mom and dad nodded. They said, "Yes, you can play with him. But first, let's go back to the slide and the swing. You still have time to play in the park."
+
+Max and Lily agreed. They said, "Yes, let's go back to the slide and the swing. We still have time to play in the park."
+

+
+Ben and Lily were amazed. They wanted to help their father. They asked, "Can we clean a chimney with you, father?"

+
+They walked back to the big boy and said, "We have ice cream. Do you want some?" The big boy looked at their cones and said, "Yes, I do. Give me some!"

+Ben felt sorry for Sara. He gave her a hug. "I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't know. Let me see your boo-boo."
+
+He looked at her knee. It was bleeding a little. He ran to the house and got a band-aid. He came back and put it on Sara's knee. "There, that's better. The band-aid will help you heal."

+
+"Run!" Tom shouts.
+
+They turn around and run out of the cave. The bear does not follow them. They are safe but very scared. They stare at the cave and wonder what the bear was doing there.
+
+"Let's go home," Mia says.
+
+"OK," Tom says. "And let's not go into the cave again."

+
+His mom looks at the card and smiles. She says, "That is a special card, Tommy. It is a wonder card. It does not have a match, because it is not ordinary. It is unique, like you."
+
+Tommy does not know what "unique" means, but he likes the sound of it. He says, "Thank you, mom. I like the wonder card. Can I keep it?"

+Mom says yes, but they have to be quiet and not scare the animals. Mira and Ben nod and promise to be good. They put on their pajamas and grab their flashlights. Mom takes them to the garden and shows them the moonflower bud. It is white and round, like a ball.
+
+They wait and wait, but the moonflower does not open. Mira and Ben start to yawn and rub their eyes. Mom says they can go back to bed and try again tomorrow. Mira and Ben are sad, but they agree. They say good night to the moonflower and follow mom to the house.
+
+But as they are leaving, they hear a rustle in the bushes. They turn around and see a small animal peeking out. It is a rabbit. It has long ears, a fluffy tail, and a twitchy nose. It hops out of the bushes and goes to the moonflower. It sniffs the bud and nibbles on a leaf.
+
+Mira and Ben are amazed. They whisper to each other:
+
+"Look, a rabbit!"
+
+"It likes the moonflower!"
+
+"Maybe it will make it bloom!"
+
+They watch as the rabbit nudges the bud with its nose. Suddenly, the bud begins to crack and unfurl. The moonflower blooms. It is big and white and shiny, like the moon. It smells sweet and fresh. The rabbit looks happy and wiggles its ears.

+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. But maybe you should do it in the morning. It's late and you need to sleep. How about we put your box next to your bed, so you can see it when you wake up?"

+
+Lily counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked in the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, but she did not see Max.

She decided to look closer.
+
+She moved some clothes and shoes and saw a small hole in the wall. She wondered what was behind it. She was curious and brave, so she crawled through the hole. She found herself in a different place. It was dark and cold and smelled funny. She saw a lot of boxes and wires and pipes. She did not like it there. She wanted to go back.
+
+She turned around and tried to crawl back to the hole, but she bumped into something. It was Max. He was hiding behind a box. He was scared and surprised. He said, "Lily, what are you doing here? This is my secret place. How did you find me?"
+
+Lily said, "I was looking for you in the closet and I saw the hole. I wanted to see what was there. I did not know it was your secret place. I'm sorry. Can we go back now? I don't like it here. It's too different."
+
+Max said, "Okay, let's go back. But don't tell anyone about my secret place. It's only for me. And you, sometimes. But only if you ask me first."
+
+Lily said, "Okay, I promise. But can we play something else now? Hide and seek is not fun anymore."
+
+Max said, "Sure, let's play something else. How about tag? You're it!"
+
+Lily said, "No fair, you cheated! Come back here!"
+
+They crawled back to the hole and sprang out of the closet. They ran and laughed and chased each other around the house. They forgot about the different place and had fun. They were happy.

+Mom squeezed Lila's hand and said, "Don't worry, Lila. We are safe in the car. The truck won't hurt us. It's just doing its job. And we are almost at grandma's house. She will be happy to see us and give us hugs and cookies."

+
+"Look, mom, look!" Tom shouted. "That kangaroo is so big and strong!"
+
+"Yes, he is," mom said. "But he is also very gentle. He likes to relax in the sun and cuddle with his friends."
+
+"Can we cuddle with him too?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom smiled. "No, sweetie, we can't. Kangaroos are wild animals. They need their space and respect. We can watch them from here and say hello, but we can't touch them."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They waved at the kangaroos and said hello. The kangaroos looked at them and nodded back. Tom and Lily felt happy and relaxed. They loved the zoo and the kangaroos.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play pretend in the park. One day, they saw a big palace made of wood and stones. It had many windows and doors, but they were all closed.
+
+"Let's go inside and see what's there," Tom said. He grabbed Lila's hand and ran to the palace.
+
+"But it looks dark and scary," Lila said. She was afraid of the shadows and noises.
+
+"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Tom said. He pushed one of the doors and it opened with a creak. They stepped inside and saw a big hall with a long table and many chairs. There were candles and paintings on the walls, but they were dusty and old.
+
+"Wow, this is like a fairy tale," Tom said. He walked around and touched everything.
+
+Lila followed him, but she felt nervous. She heard a loud roar from somewhere in the palace.
+
+"What was that?" she asked.
+
+Tom shrugged. "Maybe it's a dragon or a lion. Let's go and find out."
+
+He grabbed a stick from the floor and pretended it was a sword. He ran to another door and opened it.
+
+Lila didn't want to go. She wanted to go back to the park. She saw a window and ran to it. She looked outside and saw the sun and the trees and the flowers.
+
+"Tom, let's go, please," she said.
+
+But Tom didn't hear her. He was too busy exploring the dark palace. He didn't see the big shadow that came behind him and grabbed him with its claws.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park near their homes. One day, they see a big bus with many people. The bus has a sign that says "Town Tour".
+
+"Can we go on the bus?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we need to ask our moms," Tom says.
+
+They run to their moms, who are sitting on a bench. They request to go on the bus. Their moms say yes, but they have to stay with them and hold their hands.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They get on the bus with their moms. The bus driver says hello and gives them stickers. The bus starts to move. It goes around the town and shows them many things.

+They go back to the park and play some more. They share their stickers and stories. They are happy and tired. They have learned many things about the town. They have had a good day.
+Tom and Mia are playing with magnets. They like to stick them on the fridge and make shapes. Tom has a big magnet and Mia has a small one. They try to make a star, but the magnets do not stick well.
+
+"Let's try something else," Tom says. He sees a metal box on the shelf. He thinks it is a toy. He climbs on a chair and takes the box. He opens it and sees a lot of shiny things inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" he says. He shows Mia the box. Mia sees rings, necklaces, and earrings. They are all made of metal. She thinks they are pretty.

+They do not know that the box belongs to Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making lunch. She does not see Tom and Mia playing with her jewelry.
+
+She hears them whisper and giggle. She thinks they are having fun. She smiles and goes on with her work.
+
+She does not know that Tom and Mia are about to make a big mess. They see a deep hole in the wall. They wonder what is inside. They decide to find out.

They do not know that electricity and magnets do not mix well. They are about to find out.
+Tim and Lily wanted to play outside, but it was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and the wind was cold. They put on their coats and hats and went to the backyard.
+
+There they saw a big pile of leaves that their dad had raked. It looked like a fun place to jump and hide. Tim and Lily ran to the pile and started to toss the leaves in the air.
+
+"Look at me, I'm a bird!" Tim said, flapping his arms.
+
+"I'm a bear!" Lily said, growling and crawling.
+
+They laughed and played until they heard their dad call them.
+
+"Tim, Lily, come here please. I need your help."
+
+They ran to their dad, who was holding a rake. He smiled and said, "I'm glad you had fun with the leaves, but now we need to rake them again. Can you help me?"
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They liked to help their dad. He gave them each a small rake and showed them how to twist it and pull the leaves together.
+
+They worked hard and soon they had a new pile of leaves. Their dad said, "Good job, kids. You are very helpful. Now, do you want to jump in the pile one more time?"
+
+Tim and Lily cheered and ran to the pile. They jumped and rolled and giggled. They didn't mind the gloomy day, because they had fun with their dad and the leaves.

+The little girl says, "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Fluffy. She's my cat. Do you want to pet her?"
+
+Sara nods and reaches for the cat. But Rex does not like the cat. He growls and shows his teeth. He thinks the cat is a bad animal. He wants to protect Sara.
+
+Rex jumps and tries to bite the cat. The cat hisses and scratches Rex. Rex yelps and runs away. The cat runs away too. Sara and Lily are scared and cry. Mom comes and hugs Sara. She says, "It's okay, Sara. Rex is just a dog. He doesn't know better. He loves you and wants to keep you safe."
+
+Sara says, "I love Rex too. But he was mean to Lily and Fluffy. They are not bad. They are nice."
+
+Mom says, "I know, Sara. But sometimes dogs and cats don't get along. They are different animals. They have different ways of showing love. Maybe Rex and Fluffy can be friends someday. But for now, we should say sorry to Lily and Fluffy and give them some space."
+
+Sara nods and wipes her tears. She walks to Lily and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Rex is my dog. He's loyal to me. But he was wrong to hurt Fluffy. Fluffy is your cat. She's loyal to you. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She says, "It's okay, Sara. I'm sorry too. Fluffy is my cat. She's loyal to me. But she was scared of Rex. Rex is your dog. He's loyal to you. We can still be friends."

+
+The man says, "It is in my pocket. But you have to say please and thank you if you want it."

+They think hard. They remember what their teacher told them. "If you see fire, call 911. They will come and stop the fire. They are firemen. They are brave and good."

+They wait for the dog to go away. They hope the grown-ups will help them. They hug each other and cry.
+Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a bright red ball in the bushes. They wanted to get the ball, but they were scared of the bushes. They thought there might be bugs or snakes in there.
+
+"Who do you think left the ball here?" Sara asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a mystery," Ben said.
+
+They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They decided to be brave and go into the bushes. They held hands and walked slowly. They heard a rustle and a whimper. They stopped and looked. They saw a small dog. The dog was stuck in a wire. The dog looked sad and scared.
+
+"Look, Sara, it is a dog!" Ben said.
+

+
+She ran out of the bushes and looked for a grown-up. She saw a man with a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger. She told him about the dog and the wire. He followed her to the bushes. He had a tool to cut the wire. He rescued the dog and thanked Sara and Ben for finding him.
+
+"You are very brave and kind, Sara and Ben. You solved the mystery of the bright red ball. It belongs to the dog. His name is Rex. He ran away from his home and got lost. I will take him back to his owner. He will be very happy to see him," the park ranger said.
+
+He gave the ball to Sara and Ben. They smiled and hugged Rex. Rex barked and wagged his tail. He was happy to go home. Sara and Ben were happy to have a new friend. They played with the ball until it was time to go home. They waved goodbye to Rex and the park ranger. They had a fun and exciting day in the park.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but they did not like to share. Sometimes they fought over the same toy and made a lot of noise.
+
+One day, their mom came into their room and saw them pulling a teddy bear from each other. She was not happy. She took the teddy bear and said, "Stop fighting, you two. You need to learn how to share. Sharing is good and kind. Fighting is bad and mean. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded, but they still looked angry. Their mom said, "I will separate this teddy bear into two parts. One part for Tom and one part for Lily. Then you can each have a piece of the toy. Is that fair?"
+
+Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not want a piece of the toy. They wanted the whole toy. They said, "No, mom, no. Don't separate the teddy bear. We love the teddy bear. We don't want to hurt it. Please, mom, please."
+
+Their mom saw that they were sorry and sad. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay. I will not separate the teddy bear. But you have to promise me that you will share it nicely. And you have to listen to my lecture about why sharing is important. It will not be long or hard. It will be short and easy. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They hugged their mom and said, "Yes, mom, yes. We will share and listen. We are sorry for fighting. We love you and the teddy bear."
+
+Their mom gave them back the teddy bear and gave them a kiss. She said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are good twins. Now, let me tell you a story about sharing. It is a very easy and fun story. You will like it."

+
+"Give me the gray blocks, Ben!" Sara said. "They are mine!"
+
+"No, they are not!" Ben said. "We have to share. You have other colors too."
+
+Sara did not want to share. She started to complain. She said that gray was the best color and that Ben was silly. She said that Ben's towers and houses and cars were ugly and that he did not know how to play.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He did not like Sara's words. He said that Sara was mean and that he did not want to play with her. He said that gray was a boring color and that Sara's blocks were dirty.
+
+They both started to cry. They did not have fun anymore.
+
+Mom heard their cries. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks and the tears. She asked them why they were fighting.
+
+"Sara and Ben, why are you fighting?" Mom said. "You are both good kids. You can play nicely with the blocks. There are enough for both of you. You can use different colors and make beautiful things together. Gray is not the only color. There are red and blue and green and yellow and more. They are all pretty. And you are not silly or ugly or mean. You are smart and cute and kind. You are brother and sister. You should love each other and help each other."
+
+Sara and Ben listened to Mom. They felt sorry for their words. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and smiled. They decided to share the blocks and play together.

+
+One day, he found a very big hole in the park. He ran to it and looked inside. He saw something shiny and round. He shouted, "I found a treasure! I found a treasure!"
+
+He tried to reach it with his shovel, but it was too far. He needed help. He saw his friend Lily nearby. He called her, "Lily, come here! I need your help!"
+
+Lily came over and saw the hole. She asked, "What is it, Tom?"
+
+Tom said, "It's a treasure! A big gold coin! Help me get it out!"
+
+Lily looked closer and laughed. She said, "That's not a treasure, Tom. That's a bottle cap!"
+
+Tom felt silly. He said, "Oh, I guess you're right. It's just a bottle cap."
+
+Lily said, "That's okay, Tom. You have a good imagination. Maybe we can find a real treasure somewhere else."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go. We are famous explorers, after all."

+
+Anna thanked the cashier. She held the book in her hands. She felt a wonder in her heart. She could not wait to read the book and see the animals and words. She knew the book would make her happy.
+Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they make too much noise. Their parent does not like noise. Their parent works at home and needs quiet.
+
+One day, their parent says, "Lila and Tom, I have to do a very important call. You have to be quiet for a while. Can you do that?"
+
+Lila and Tom nod. They want to help their parent. They decide to play a quiet game. They take their crayons and paper and draw pictures. They do not talk or laugh. They only whisper.
+
+Their parent does the call. The call is long and hard. Their parent talks to many people. Their parent has to provide answers and ideas. Their parent feels tired and stressed.
+
+When the call is over, their parent comes to see Lila and Tom. Their parent sees their pictures. Their parent smiles. Their parent says, "Lila and Tom, you are very good and quiet.

+Lily and Sam liked to play with their toy sail. They put it in the big tub and made it go with the wind. They pretended they were on a big adventure in the sea.
+
+One day, they saw a sign on the wall. It had a picture of a sail and some words. Lily and Sam could not read the words, but they liked the picture. They wanted to see a real sail like that.
+
+They asked their mom if they could go to the sea. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful. She took them to the bus and they rode for a long time. They saw many things on the way, but they only wanted to see the sea.
+
+When they got to the sea, they were very happy. They saw many sails in the water. Some were big and some were small. Some were white and some were colorful. They ran to the sand and waved at the sails.
+
+They saw a man with a small sail. He looked troubled. He was trying to fix something on his sail, but it did not work. Lily and Sam wanted to help him. They went to him and said hello.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the man said. "Do you like my sail?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Lily and Sam said. "But why are you troubled?"
+
+"My sail is broken," the man said. "I need a new rope to tie it, but I don't have one."
+
+Lily and Sam looked at each other. They had an idea. They ran to their mom and asked for her scarf. Their mom gave it to them and asked what they were doing. They told her they wanted to help the man with his sail.
+
+They ran back to the man and gave him the scarf. The man smiled and thanked them. He used the scarf to tie his sail. He said it was a very nice scarf and a very nice sail.
+
+Lily and Sam were very happy. They had helped the man with his sail. They asked him if they could go with him on his sail. The man said yes, but they had to ask their mom first. They ran to their mom and asked her. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful.
+
+They went with the man on his sail. They felt the wind and the water. They saw the sun and the sky. They had a lot of fun. They had a big adventure in the sea.
+Lila and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a mighty tower that reached the sky. They stacked the blocks one by one, but they had a problem. Some blocks did not fit with others. They were too big or too small or had different shapes.
+
+"Look, this block is too big. It makes the tower fall down," said Lila, holding a big square block.
+
+"Try this one. It is smaller and has a hole," said Ben, giving her a round block.
+
+Lila tried to put the round block on top of the square block, but it did not fit either. It rolled off and hit the floor.
+
+"No, this one is too small. It does not stay on the block," said Lila, frowning.
+
+They looked at their blocks and tried to find ones that fit and stayed together. They found some that were the same size and shape, like rectangles and triangles. They also found some that had pegs and holes, like stars and hearts. They used these blocks to make their tower stronger and taller.
+
+"Wow, look at our tower. It is mighty. It almost touches the ceiling," said Ben, smiling.
+
+"Yes, it is mighty. We did a good job. We found the blocks that fit and stay," said Lila, clapping.
+
+They were very happy with their tower. They admired it for a while, then they decided to make another one. They gathered more blocks and started to build again. They had fun playing with blocks and making mighty towers.
+Ben likes to go to the park with his mom. He likes to play on the swings and the slide. He also likes to look for bugs and animals in the grass. One day, he sees something move under a rock. He runs to the rock and lifts it up.
+
+"Wow!" he says. "Look, mom, a lizard!"
+
+His mom comes over and sees a small, gray lizard with a long tail. It is very still and quiet. Ben reaches out his hand to touch it.
+
+"Be careful, Ben," his mom says. "The lizard might be scared of you. You have to be gentle and slow."
+
+Ben nods and moves his hand closer to the lizard. He touches its back with one finger. It feels cold and smooth. The lizard flicks its tongue and blinks its eyes. Ben smiles.
+
+"Hello, lizard," he says. "Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The lizard does not answer. It suddenly runs away and hides under another rock. Ben is sad. He wanted to play with the lizard.
+
+"Where did it go?" he asks his mom.
+
+"Maybe it went to find its family," his mom says. "Or maybe it was looking for some food. Lizards are wild animals, Ben. They are not like pets. They like to live in their own homes and do their own things."
+
+Ben understands. He puts the rock back and says goodbye to the lizard.
+
+"Bye, lizard," he says. "Maybe I will see you again. Have a good day."
+
+He goes back to the swings and the slide. He has fun at the park with his mom. He still likes lizards, but he knows they are not for him. He is happy with his toys and his books. He is happy with his mom.
+Sam and Mia liked to pretend they were scientists in their lab. They used boxes, bottles, spoons and other things to make their experiments. They were very creative and had fun mixing different colors and sounds.
+
+One day, they decided to make a potion that would turn them into animals. Sam poured some red water into a big bottle and said, "This is the magic juice that will make us furry and fast." Mia added some blue water and said, "And this is the magic juice that will make us fly and sing."
+
+They shook the bottle and watched the water turn purple. They each took a sip and waited for something to happen. They looked at each other and giggled. Nothing changed. They were still Sam and Mia.
+
+They decided to pretend anyway. Sam said, "Woof, woof, I'm a dog. I can run and chase and bark." Mia said, "Tweet, tweet, I'm a bird. I can fly and sing and nest." They ran around the room, making noises and having fun. They pretended they were animals until their mom called them for lunch. They put their lab away and went to eat. They were happy and hungry. They loved to pretend.
+Anna and Ben were happy to go to Grandma's house. They had a big bag with their clothes and toys. Grandma hugged them and said, "Welcome, my sweeties! Come inside and unpack your bag. Then we can have some cookies and milk."
+
+Anna and Ben followed Grandma to the guest room. They opened their bag and took out their things. Anna had a pink dress, a doll, and a book. Ben had a blue shirt, a car, and a ball. They put their things on the bed and the shelf.
+
+"Look, Anna, I found a leaf!" Ben said. He held up a yellow leaf that was in his bag. "It is from our tree at home. I picked it up before we left. It is so pretty and shiny."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "It is a nice leaf, Ben. But you know what? Grandma has a lot of leaves in her garden. She has red leaves, and orange leaves, and brown leaves. They are all different shapes and sizes. Do you want to go and see them?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, let's go! Maybe we can make a fancy picture with the leaves. We can use glue and paper and scissors. Grandma will like it."
+
+Anna and Ben ran to the garden. They saw many leaves on the ground and on the trees. They picked up some of their favorite ones and brought them to the table.

+
+Grandma was very happy. She said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben! This is a beautiful picture. You are very clever and creative. I love you very much." She hugged them and kissed them. Then she hung the picture on the wall. Anna and Ben were proud and happy. They loved Grandma very much, too.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to rock on the big horse. The horse was friendly and soft. It made funny noises when they rocked on it.
+
+One morning, they woke up very early. They saw the sky was pink and orange. They knew it was sunrise. They wanted to see the sunrise from the park. They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the park.
+
+When they got to the park, they saw the big horse. It was still sleeping. They ran to it and climbed on it. They rocked it gently and said, "Wake up, horse! Wake up and see the sunrise!"
+
+The horse opened its eyes and saw Tom and Anna. It smiled and said, "Hello, Tom and Anna! You are very early. What are you doing here?"
+
+"We want to see the sunrise, horse. It is very pretty. Look!" Tom and Anna pointed to the sky.
+

+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna said. They rocked with the horse and watched the sunrise. They were very happy. They liked the park. They liked the horse. They liked the sunrise.
+Ben and Lily were bored. It was a gray day and they could not go out and play. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to do something new and fun.
+
+"Let's enter the big closet," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something cool in there."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are working in the other room."
+
+They opened the closet door and entered. It was dark and cozy. They saw some clothes, some shoes, some boxes, and some bags.
+
+"Look, Lily, a hat!" Ben said. He took a big hat with feathers and put it on his head. "I am a pirate. Arrr!"
+
+"Look, Ben, a scarf!" Lily said. She took a long scarf with stripes and wrapped it around her neck. "I am a princess. La la la!"
+
+They played with the clothes and pretended to be different people. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the gray day and the boring toys.
+
+"Ben, Lily, time for lunch!" Mom called from the kitchen.
+
+They heard Mom and quickly put the clothes back in the closet. They ran out of the closet and closed the door.
+
+"Coming, Mom!" they said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They had a secret. They knew they would enter the big closet again. Maybe tomorrow.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with a big ball. They roll the ball to each other and laugh. Sometimes they roll the ball very fast and it goes far away. Then they run after the ball and bring it back.
+
+One day, a new girl comes to the park. Her name is Lily. She has a big ball too. But her ball is different. It has many colors and words on it. Anna and Ben are curious. They go to Lily and say hello.
+
+"Hello, I am Anna. This is Ben. What is your name?" Anna asks.
+
+"Hello, I am Lily. I am from China. This is my ball. It is a language ball. It helps me learn English." Lily says.
+
+"A language ball? What is that?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily shows them her ball. She points to a word and says it. Then she points to a picture and says what it is. For example, she points to "cat" and says "cat". Then she points to a picture of a cat and says "cat". She does this with many words and pictures.
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed. They want to learn too. They ask Lily to teach them some words. Lily is happy. She teaches them how to say "dog", "flower", "book" and more. They repeat after her and try to remember.
+
+They have fun learning and playing with the language ball. They roll the ball to each other and say the words and pictures. They laugh and clap. They are good friends. They like the language ball. They think it is a good ball.
+Anna and Ben love to play with their rocket. They pretend to fly to the moon and the stars. They make noises like zoom and beep and boom. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben find their rocket broken. Someone stepped on it and it cracked. They are very sad. They cry and hug their rocket. They say sorry to their rocket.
+
+"Who did this to our rocket?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a big foot or a bad dog," Ben says.
+
+"Can we fix it?" Anna says.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can ask mom or dad," Ben says.
+
+They go to their mom and dad and show them their rocket. They talk to them and tell them what happened. Their mom and dad are sorry too. They say they will try to fix it or buy a new one.
+
+"Thank you, mom and dad. We love you and we love our rocket," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They hug their mom and dad and their rocket. They hope their rocket will be okay soon. They still want to play with it and fly to the moon and the stars. They are not so sad anymore.
+Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they heard a loud sound. It was a trumpet. They saw a man with a red hat and a shiny trumpet. He was playing music for the people.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "He can make the trumpet sing!"
+
+"Let's go and see him!" Mia said. They ran to the man with the trumpet. He smiled at them and played a happy tune.
+
+"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you like my trumpet?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Tim and Mia said. "Can we try it?"
+
+"Sorry, no," the man said. "The trumpet is very special. You need to practice a lot to play it well. But you can follow me and listen to my music. I'm going to play in different places in the park. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tim and Mia said. They followed the man with the trumpet. He played in front of the fountain, the pond, the bridge and the flowers. He made the people happy and clap. Tim and Mia clapped too. They liked the music.
+
+But then, they saw their mom. She was looking for them. She looked pale and worried.
+
+"Tim! Mia! Where have you been?" she said. "I've been looking for you everywhere!"
+
+"Mom, we're sorry," Tim and Mia said. "We followed the man with the trumpet. He played beautiful music for us. Look, there he is!"
+
+They pointed at the man with the trumpet. He waved at them and played a goodbye tune.
+
+"Thank you for the music!" Tim and Mia said.
+
+"You're welcome, little ones," the man said. "Maybe one day you'll play the trumpet too. Goodbye!"
+
+"Goodbye!" Tim and Mia said. They hugged their mom and went home. They told her about the man with the trumpet and the music. She was glad they had fun, but she also told them to never follow strangers without telling her. They promised they would not do it again. They still liked the trumpet, but they liked their mom more.
+Lily liked to relax on the sofa with her big sister, Anna. They would watch cartoons and cuddle with their teddy bears. Lily loved Anna very much, but sometimes she felt jealous of her. Anna had more toys, more books, and more friends than Lily.
+
+One day, Anna came home from school with a vase. She had made it in art class. It was blue and green and had flowers on it. Anna was very proud of her vase. She put it on the table and showed it to Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is my vase. I made it myself. Do you like it?" Anna asked.
+
+Lily looked at the vase. It was very pretty, but she did not like it. She wanted to have a vase too. She wanted to make something in art class. She felt a big knot in her tummy. She felt angry and sad.
+
+"I don't like it. It's ugly. You are silly. I want a vase too!" Lily shouted. She grabbed the vase and threw it on the floor. The vase broke into many pieces. Anna gasped and started to cry.
+
+"Lily, why did you do that? That was my vase. I worked hard on it. You are mean. You are a bad sister!" Anna sobbed.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt Anna. She did not mean to break the vase. She just wanted to have one too. She hugged Anna and said,
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I was jealous of your vase. I like it. I think it's pretty. You are not silly. You are smart. You are a good sister. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna sniffed and nodded. She hugged Lily back and said,
+
+"I forgive you, Lily. I was proud of my vase, but I love you more. You are not mean. You are a good sister too. Can we relax on the sofa and watch cartoons?"
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. They picked up the pieces of the vase and threw them in the trash. They took their teddy bears and relaxed on the sofa. They watched cartoons and cuddled. They were happy. They were sisters.
+Anna loves books. She has many books on her bookshelf. She likes to read them with her mom and dad. Sometimes she reads them to her teddy bear, too.
+
+One day, Anna sees a new book on her bookshelf. It is big and shiny and has a picture of a princess on the cover. Anna wants to read it. She takes it from the bookshelf and opens it.
+
+But the book is not a book. It is a box. Inside the box, there is a necklace. It is shiny and sparkly and has a heart on it. Anna likes the necklace. She puts it around her neck and looks in the mirror.
+
+"Wow, I look like a princess!" she says.
+
+But then she hears a voice. It is the bookshelf. It is sad and angry.
+
+"Anna, why did you take the book?" it says. "That is not your book. That is your mom's book. She got it for her birthday. She loves it very much. You should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice."
+
+Anna is scared and sorry. She did not know that the book was her mom's. She did not mean to make the bookshelf sad and angry. She likes the bookshelf. It is loyal and good. It holds all her books and keeps them safe.
+
+"Bookshelf, I am sorry," she says. "I did not know. I will put the book back. Please do not be sad and angry. I love you."
+
+She takes off the necklace and puts it back in the box. She closes the box and puts it back on the bookshelf. She hugs the bookshelf and says sorry again.
+
+The bookshelf is happy and calm. It forgives Anna. It knows that she is a good girl. It says, "Thank you, Anna. I love you, too. You can read any of your books. But please ask your mom and dad before you take their books. They will be happy to share with you."
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She says, "Okay, bookshelf. I will do that. Thank you for being loyal and good. You are my best friend."
+
+She picks a book from her bookshelf and reads it to her teddy bear. The bookshelf listens and smiles. They are all happy.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with many fruits. The fruits were round and soft and had a nice smell. They were peaches.
+
+"Look, peaches!" Anna said. "Can we have some?"
+
+"Yes, let's ask the man who works here," Ben said. They ran to the man who had a long beard and a hat. He was very kind.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you like peaches?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. Can we have some, please?" Anna and Ben said.
+
+"Of course, you can. Here, take two each. They are very sweet and juicy," he said. He gave them four peaches and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Anna and Ben said. They took the peaches and ran back to the tree. They sat under the shade and ate the peaches. They were very happy.
+
+"Mmm, this is the best peach ever!" Anna said.
+
+"Me too. It makes me smile," Ben said.
+
+They smiled at each other and shared their peaches. They had a good time in the park.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pear tree with many ripe pears. They wanted to pick some pears to eat, but they were too small to reach them.
+
+"Let's get a stool from the kitchen," Lily said. "Then we can stand on it and get the pears."
+
+"Good idea," Max said. They ran to the kitchen and got a stool. They carried it to the pear tree and put it under a branch.
+
+Lily climbed on the stool and reached for a pear. She pulled it hard and it fell to the ground. She was proud of herself. She climbed down and picked up the pear.
+
+"Look, I got a pear!" she said, showing it to Max.
+
+Max climbed on the stool and tried to get a pear too. But he could not find one that was close enough. He stretched his arm and jumped, but he missed. He tried again and again, but he could not get a pear.
+
+He was angry and sad. He started to complain.
+
+"It's not fair! You got a pear and I didn't! The pears are too high! The stool is too low! I want a pear too!"
+
+Lily heard him and felt sorry for him. She decided to share her pear with him.
+
+"Here, Max," she said, breaking her pear in half. "You can have half of my pear. We can both eat it and be happy."
+
+Max stopped complaining and smiled. He took half of the pear and thanked Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good sister. I'm sorry I complained. The pear is very sweet and juicy."
+
+They ate the pear together and enjoyed it. They hugged each other and went back to play in the garden. They were proud of their pear and their friendship.

+Lily and Ben like to help Mom in the kitchen. Mom is making a cake for Dad's birthday. She puts the cake in the oven and tells Lily and Ben to watch it. She says, "Do not touch the oven. It is very hot."
+
+Lily and Ben sit on the floor and look at the oven. They see the cake rising and smelling good. They are happy. They want to make Mom happy too. They see a cloth and a bottle on the table. The bottle says "polish". Lily says, "Let's polish the oven. It will make it shiny and pretty."
+
+Ben nods. He takes the cloth and the bottle. He sprays some polish on the cloth and rubs it on the oven door. Lily helps him. They work hard. They do not see the smoke coming out of the oven. They do not hear the timer ringing.
+
+Mom comes back to the kitchen. She sees the smoke and the timer. She runs to the oven and opens the door. She takes out the cake. It is burned and black. She is sad. She says, "Oh no! What happened to the cake?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at Mom. They see her sad face. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to help you. We polished the oven. Look how shiny it is."
+
+Mom looks at the oven. She sees the polish on the door. She sighs. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very sweet. But you should not polish the oven. It is not good for the cake. And the oven is heavy. You could hurt yourself. Next time, please ask me before you use anything in the kitchen."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. We are sorry for the cake. Can we make another one?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Yes, we can make another cake. But first, let's clean the oven."

+
+One day, Tom and Mia go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They run to the panda house and look for the panda. But they cannot see him. He is not in his cage. He is not in his yard. He is not anywhere.
+
+"Where is the panda?" Tom asks.
+
+"Maybe he is sleeping," Mia says.
+
+"Maybe he is sick," Tom says.
+
+They feel sad. They want to see the panda.
+
+They ask a zookeeper. The zookeeper says, "The panda is not here. He went to another zoo. He will make new friends there."
+
+Tom and Mia cry. They do not want the panda to go. They want him to stay with them.
+
+"That is not fair!" Tom says.
+
+"Why did he go?" Mia says.
+
+The zookeeper says, "He went because he was lonely. He needed a mate. He will be happy in his new home. He will have a family."
+
+Tom and Mia stop crying. They think about the panda. They want him to be happy. They want him to have a family.
+
+"Will we see him again?" Tom asks.
+
+"Maybe," the zookeeper says. "Maybe he will come back someday. Or maybe you can visit him in his new zoo."
+
+Tom and Mia smile. They hope to see the panda again. They say goodbye to him in their hearts. They go to see the other animals. They still love the panda. But they understand why he went.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to dress up with their mom's clothes and hats. They found a big hanger in the closet. It was shiny and had many colors.
+
+"Look, Ben, a rainbow hanger!" Lily said. She took the hanger and put it on her head. "I am a princess with a crown!"
+
+Ben laughed. He wanted to play too. He took another hanger and put it on his arm. "I am a robot with a laser!" he said. He made a beep sound and moved his arm.
+
+Lily and Ben were very playful. They ran around the room and pretended to be different things. They clapped their hands and feet and made funny noises.
+
+Mom heard them and smiled. She opened the door and saw them having fun. She was happy to see them so creative and joyful.
+
+"Hello, my princess and my robot!" she said. "Do you want a snack?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They took off the hangers and hugged mom. They went to the kitchen and ate some cookies and milk. They told mom about their game and clapped some more.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big case in the attic. It was old and dusty, but it looked interesting. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They tried to lift the case, but it was too heavy. They tried to push it, but it was too hard. They tried to pull it, but it was too stuck. They struggled a lot, but they could not open it.
+
+They were about to give up, when they heard a voice from the case.
+
+"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" the voice said.
+
+Tom and Lily were surprised and scared. Who was in the case? How did they get there? What did they want?
+
+"Who are you?" Tom asked.
+
+"I'm a magic fairy!" the voice said. "I've been trapped in this case for a long time. If you help me get out, I'll grant you a wish!"
+
+Tom and Lily were curious and excited. A magic fairy? A wish? That sounded interesting.
+
+"How can we help you?" Lily asked.
+
+"Look for a key. It's hidden somewhere in the attic. It's small and shiny. Find it and unlock the case. Hurry, please!" the voice said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and ran to look for the key. They searched under the boxes, behind the books, and inside the jars. They hoped to find the key and free the fairy. They wondered what they would wish for. They thought it would be the most interesting day ever.
+Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran up the stairs and looked for a good spot. He saw a door with a lock on it. He thought it was a good place to hide. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He looked for a key, but he could not find one. He heard Lily coming up the stairs. He had to hurry.
+
+He saw a big box under a table. He crawled inside the box and pulled the lid over him. He hoped Lily would not find him. He was very quiet and still.
+
+Lily came into the room and looked around. She saw the door with the lock on it. She wondered what was behind it. She tried to open it, but it was locked. She looked for a key, but she could not find one. She thought Tom might be hiding behind the door. She knocked on the door and said, "Tom, are you there? I found you!"
+
+Tom heard Lily's voice. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid she would hear him. He stayed silent in the box.
+
+Lily waited for a reply, but she heard nothing. She thought Tom was being tricky. She decided to look somewhere else. She walked around the room and looked under the bed, behind the curtains, and in the closet. She could not find Tom. She was getting frustrated.
+
+She saw the big box under the table. She thought it was empty. She wanted to move it out of the way. She pushed the box, but it was heavy. She pushed harder, but it did not budge. She wondered what was inside the box. She pulled the lid off the box and saw Tom's face. She was surprised and happy. She said, "Tom, I found you! You were hiding in the box!"
+
+Tom was surprised and scared. He did not expect Lily to find him. He tried to get out of the box, but he was stuck. He pushed the lid, but it was too late. He stumbled out of the box and fell on the floor. He said, "Ouch! That hurt!"
+
+Lily laughed and helped Tom up. She said, "Sorry, Tom. I did not mean to scare you. You were very good at hiding. But I was better at seeking. I win!"
+
+Tom smiled and rubbed his head. He said, "You win, Lily. You are very smart. But next time, I will find a better spot. Maybe behind the door with the lock on it."
+
+Lily said, "Maybe, Tom. But you will need a key for that. And I don't know where it is. Maybe it is hidden somewhere in the big house. Do you want to look for it?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, Lily. Let's look for it. Maybe we will find something else behind the door. Something fun and exciting. Come on, let's go!"
+
+Tom and Lily ran down the stairs and looked for the key. They did not know that the door with the lock on it led to the attic, where there were many old and dusty things. But they did not care. They were having fun. They were happy. They were friends.
+Tim and Mia liked to sail their toy boats in the pond. They had two boats, one red and one blue. They each wanted to have the fastest boat, so they were very competitive.
+
+One day, they had a race to see who could sail their boat to the other side of the pond first. They counted to three and pushed their boats into the water. The boats moved with the wind and the waves.
+
+"Go, go, go!" Tim shouted to his red boat. "You can do it!"
+
+"Ha, ha, ha!" Mia laughed to her blue boat. "You are faster!"
+
+But then, something happened. Tim's boat hit a big rock and stopped. The rock had a knob on it that got stuck in the boat's sail. Tim's boat could not move anymore.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim cried. "My boat is stuck!"
+
+Mia saw what happened and felt sorry for Tim. She did not want to win the race like that. She sailed her boat back to Tim and helped him free his boat from the rock.
+
+"Here, let me help you," Mia said. "We can sail together."
+
+Tim smiled and thanked Mia. He was happy that she was kind. They sailed their boats side by side to the other side of the pond. They did not care who was faster anymore. They just had fun.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he made zoom and vroom on the floor. One day, his mom said they had to go visit his uncle Bob, who lived far away. Tom did not want to go. He wanted to stay and play.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it will be fun. Uncle Bob is very nice and he has a big mustache. You can touch it if you want," his mom said.
+
+Tom did not care about the mustache. He did not know what it was. He put on his coat and shoes and got in the car. He was sad and quiet.
+
+They drove for a long time and then they got to uncle Bob's house. It was a big house with a lot of flowers and trees. Uncle Bob came out to greet them. He was a tall man with a pale face and a big, bushy mustache that covered his mouth.
+
+"Hello, hello, welcome to my house. You must be Tom. I'm your uncle Bob. I'm so happy to meet you," he said in a loud voice.
+
+He bent down and hugged Tom. Tom felt the mustache tickle his cheek. He did not like it. He pushed uncle Bob away and hid behind his mom.
+
+"Tom, don't be shy. Uncle Bob is family. He loves you. Why don't you say hello and introduce yourself?" his mom said.
+
+Tom looked at uncle Bob. He saw that he had kind eyes and a big smile. He decided to give him a chance.
+
+"Hello, uncle Bob. I'm Tom. I like to play with toys. Do you have any toys?" he said.
+
+Uncle Bob laughed and nodded.
+
+"Of course I do. I have a lot of toys. Come, I'll show you. We can play together," he said.
+
+He took Tom by the hand and led him to his room. There, Tom saw a lot of toys. He saw cars, trains, planes, and more. He also saw books, puzzles, and games. He was amazed.
+
+"Wow, you have so many toys. Can I play with them?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. They are yours to play with. I used to play with them when I was a boy like you. But now I'm too old for them. I'm glad you are here to enjoy them," uncle Bob said.
+
+He sat on the floor and picked up a plane. He made it fly in the air and made noises. Tom smiled and picked up a car. He made it drive on the floor and made noises. They played together and had fun. Tom forgot that he was sad and quiet. He liked uncle Bob and his mustache. He decided that he was a good uncle. He was happy.
+Mia and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room when they heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder, and it made them jump.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asked, looking at the window.
+
+"That is thunder. It comes from the sky when it rains. It is like a big roar," Leo explained, using his toy dinosaur to make a roar.
+
+"Is it scary?" Mia wondered, holding her teddy bear.
+
+"No, it is not scary. It is just noisy. We can observe it and see the flashes of light. They are called lightning. They are like fireworks, but in the sky," Leo said, pointing at the window.
+
+Mia and Leo went to the window and observed the thunder and lightning. They saw the dark clouds and the raindrops falling. They also saw a chubby bird flying away from the storm. It was a pigeon, and it had a red ring on its leg.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Mia exclaimed, tapping the glass.
+
+"Wow, a pigeon! It has a ring. Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it is a messenger bird. Maybe it has a secret message," Leo imagined, making a whistling sound.
+
+Mia and Leo watched the pigeon fly away until they could not see it anymore. Then they went back to their toys and pretended to be dinosaurs and bears. They were not afraid of the thunder anymore. They thought it was fun to observe it.
+Benny is a dog who likes to taste everything. He tastes his food, his toys, his bed, and sometimes even his owner's shoes. He thinks everything has a different and interesting taste.
+
+One day, Benny finds a weird thing on the floor. It is green and round and has a hole in the middle. Benny wonders what it tastes like, so he puts it in his mouth and bites it. But it does not taste good at all. It tastes bitter and sour and makes Benny's mouth hurt. He spits it out and starts to whine.
+
+His owner hears him and comes to see what is wrong. He sees the weird thing on the floor and picks it up. He says, "Benny, this is a lime. It is a fruit that humans use to make drinks. It is not for dogs. It is too acidic for you. You need to see the veterinarian."
+
+He puts Benny in the car and drives to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a nice lady who helps animals when they are sick or hurt. She looks at Benny's mouth and gives him some medicine. She says, "Benny, you have a sore mouth from the lime. This medicine will make it feel better. But you should not taste things that you do not know. Some things can be bad for you or make you sick. Only taste your food and your treats, okay?"
+
+Benny nods and licks the veterinarian's hand. He is sorry for tasting the weird thing. He learns his lesson and promises to be more careful. He hopes he will never taste a lime again.
+Lily was a cat who liked to wear fancy hats. She had many hats of different colors and shapes. She liked to put them on and look at herself in the mirror. She felt very pretty and happy.
+
+One day, she saw a new hat in the store. It was red and had a big bow on it. Lily wanted to buy it, but she did not have enough money. She decided to take it without paying. She was very sneaky and quick. She grabbed the hat with her paw and ran out of the store.
+
+But she did not see the dog who was guarding the store. The dog saw Lily and barked loudly. He chased after her and tried to catch her. Lily was scared and ran faster. She did not want to lose her new hat.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" the dog shouted. "You are a bad cat! You stole the hat! Give it back!"
+
+Lily did not listen. She kept running until she reached her home. She ran inside and hid under the bed. She put the hat on her head and sighed. She thought she was safe.
+
+But the dog followed her. He sniffed around and found her home. He scratched the door and barked louder. He wanted to get the hat back.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" the dog repeated. "You are a bad cat! You stole the hat! Give it back!"
+
+Lily was very sorry. She realized she had done a wrong thing. She did not want to make the dog angry. She did not want to keep the hat. She crawled out from under the bed and opened the door. She gave the hat back to the dog and said:
+
+"I am sorry, sorry, sorry. I am a bad cat. I stole the hat. Here it is. Please don't be mad."
+
+The dog took the hat and looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry. He decided to forgive her. He said:
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a good cat. You gave the hat back. I am not mad. But don't do it again."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy that the dog was not mad. She learned a lesson. She decided to never steal again. She decided to save money and buy a fancy hat that she could afford. She hugged the dog and said:
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a nice dog. You forgave me. I won't do it again. Maybe we can be friends."
+
+The dog nodded and smiled. He was happy that Lily was nice. He learned a lesson. He decided to share his hat with her. He said:
+
+"You are welcome, welcome, welcome. You are a nice cat. You said sorry. Maybe we can be friends. Maybe you can try my hat."
+
+Lily and the dog became friends. They tried each other's hats and had fun. They felt very pretty and happy.
+Tom and Lily like to draw pictures with crayons. They have many colors and papers. They draw animals, flowers, cars and houses. They are happy and share their pictures with each other.
+
+One day, Tom draws a big lion with a yellow mane and brown spots. He is proud of his picture and shows it to Lily. Lily likes the lion, but she wants to draw on it too. She takes a red crayon and strikes a line across the lion's face. Tom is angry and shouts at Lily.
+
+"No, no, no! You ruined my picture! Go away, Lily! You are a bad sister!"
+
+Lily is sad and scared. She drops the crayon and runs away. She cries in her room. She did not mean to hurt Tom's picture. She just wanted to make it more fun.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom's picture and Lily's tears. She is compassionate and hugs both of them. She tells them that she loves their pictures and their creativity. She also tells them that they need to respect each other's work and ask before they draw on it. She helps them fix the picture with some stickers and glue.
+
+Tom and Lily say sorry to each other and hug. They are friends again. They decide to draw a new picture together. They draw a big rainbow with many colors and write their names on it.

+One day, Anna was reading her novel on the sofa. She was very happy and relaxed. She wanted to know what happened to the girl and the horse. But Ben was bored. He saw Anna's novel and wanted to play with it. He ran to the sofa and grabbed the novel from Anna's hands.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Anna shouted. "That's my novel! You can't play with it!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He laughed and ran away with the novel. He threw it in the air and caught it. He opened it and tore some pages. He scribbled on it with a crayon.
+
+Anna was very angry and sad. She chased Ben and tried to get her novel back. But Ben was faster and ran to his room. He locked the door and hid under the bed with the novel.
+
+Anna knocked on the door and cried. "Ben, please, open the door! You ruined my novel! I hate you!"
+
+But Ben did not open the door. He did not care. He thought it was fun to make Anna mad. He kept playing with the novel until he fell asleep.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is not nice. It barks and growls and chases them. They are scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Mia shout. They run to the fence. They try to climb over. But the dog is fast. It bites Tom's toe. Tom cries. It hurts.
+
+Mia is brave. She picks up a stick. She hits the dog with the stick. The dog lets go of Tom's toe. It runs away. Mia saves Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Mia!" Tom says. He hugs Mia. "You are a good friend. You are a hero."
+
+Mia smiles. She hugs Tom back. "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You are brave."
+
+They go to the bench. They sit down. They look at Tom's toe. It is red and sore. But it is not bleeding. It is not bad.
+
+They are happy. They are safe. They are friends.
+Lily and Tom like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint and big papers. They use brushes and fingers to make pictures. Lily paints a flower. Tom paints a car.
+
+"Look at my flower!" Lily says. "It is pretty and pink."
+
+"Look at my car!" Tom says. "It is fast and blue."
+
+They show each other their pictures. They smile and clap.
+
+But then a big boy comes. He is mean and ugly. He takes Lily's and Tom's paints. He throws them on the ground. He laughs and runs away.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad and angry. Their paints are broken and dirty. Their pictures are ruined.
+
+"Go away, ugly boy!" Lily shouts. "You are bad and mean!"
+
+"We don't like you!" Tom shouts. "You are not our friend!"
+
+They cry and hug each other. They go to find their mom. She sees their faces and their pictures. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves," she says. "That boy was very rude. He should not do that."
+
+She gives them new paints and papers. She helps them clean their hands and clothes. She tells them they are good and kind. She tells them their pictures are beautiful and fun.
+
+Lily and Tom smile and thank their mom. They start to paint again. They forget about the ugly boy. They are happy and proud. They love to play with paint.
+Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play with their toys and run in the park. But they do not like to sleep. They think sleep is boring and they want to stay up and have fun.
+
+One night, Mom and Dad make beef for dinner. Ben and Jen love beef. They eat a lot of beef and drink a lot of milk. They feel full and happy. Mom and Dad say it is time to sleep. Ben and Jen say no. They want to play more.
+
+Mom and Dad are tired. They say sleep is good for them. They say sleep makes them grow and learn and dream. They say sleep is normal and everyone does it. They say they will read them a story if they go to bed.
+
+Ben and Jen think for a moment. They like stories. They like to grow and learn and dream. They decide to try sleep. They go to their room and put on their pajamas. Mom and Dad read them a story about a dragon and a princess. Ben and Jen listen and smile.
+
+Mom and Dad kiss them good night and turn off the light. Ben and Jen close their eyes and cuddle with their teddy bears. They feel warm and cozy. They start to sleep. They dream of beef and toys and dragons and princesses. They sleep well and are happy.

+
+One day, Lila and Max went for a walk in the park. They saw many things. They saw birds, flowers, and a pond. They also saw a little girl with a red bike. The girl was crying. Lila and Max went to see what was wrong.
+
+"Hello, why are you crying?" Lila asked the girl.
+
+"I fell off my bike and hurt my heel. It hurts a lot and I can't ride my bike anymore," the girl said, pointing to her foot.
+
+"I'm sorry, that sounds very bad. Do you want me to read you a story? Maybe that will make you feel better," Lila said, holding up her book.
+
+"Really? You would do that for me?" the girl said, wiping her tears.
+
+"Of course, I like to read and share stories. And you look like you need a friend. What is your name?" Lila said, smiling.
+
+"I'm Amy. Thank you, you are very kind and compassionate," Amy said, smiling back.
+
+Lila and Max sat down next to Amy. Lila opened her book and began to read. Max lay down and put his head on Amy's lap. Amy stroked his fur and listened to Lila's voice. The story was about a fairy who helped a wounded bird. Amy forgot about her heel and enjoyed the story. Lila, Max, and Amy became friends. They decided to read more stories together and play in the park. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to go on adventures. One day, they decided to climb the big mountain behind their house. They put on their hats, coats and boots and took a backpack with some snacks and water.
+
+They walked and walked until they reached the top of the mountain. They felt very proud and happy. They looked around and saw many things: trees, birds, clouds, houses and cars. They also saw a big lake that sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, this is so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed.
+
+They sat down on a rock and ate some of their snacks. They shared a banana, a cookie and some juice. They felt warm and full.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds coming. They also felt some drops of water on their faces. It was starting to rain.
+
+"Oh no, we have to go back!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, we do!" Lily said.
+
+They quickly packed their backpack and started to go down the mountain. But the rain was getting heavier and the path was getting slippery. They felt scared and uncomfortable.
+
+They wished they were back home with their mom and dad. They wished they had a phone to call them.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted.
+
+But no one heard them. They felt alone and lost.
+
+They kept walking and hoping for the best. They held each other's hands and tried to be brave.
+
+After a long time, they saw a light. It was a cabin. They ran towards it and knocked on the door.
+
+A kind man opened the door. He saw the wet and tired twins and invited them in.
+
+"Who are you? Where are you from?" he asked.
+
+"We are Ben and Lily. We live in the house over there." they pointed.
+
+"We climbed the mountain and got caught in the rain. We are sorry to bother you." they said.
+
+"You are not bothering me. You are very lucky I found you. The mountain can be dangerous in bad weather. Come in, come in. I will make you some hot chocolate and call your parents." he said.
+
+He gave them some towels, blankets and cups of hot chocolate. He also called their parents and told them where they were.
+
+Ben and Lily felt relieved and grateful. They thanked the kind man and waited for their parents to come.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that the mountain can be fun but also risky. They learned that they should always tell their parents where they are going and take a phone with them.
+
+They also learned that there are good people in the world who can help them when they are in trouble. They learned to be more careful and respectful of nature.
+
+They never forgot their adventure on the mountain. They also never forgot the kind man who saved them. They became friends with him and visited him often.
+
+They still liked to go on adventures, but they always planned them well and stayed safe. They also enjoyed the simple things in life, like a banana, a cookie and some juice.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the sand with their buckets and shovels. They liked to make big hills and dig holes and fill them with water. They were having fun and laughing.
+
+Then they saw a big bird flying in the sky. It was black and white and had a long orange beak. It was a pelican. The pelican saw Lily and Ben and their buckets. It wanted to see what was inside.
+
+The pelican flew down and landed near Lily. It opened its beak and grabbed her bucket. Lily was scared and sad. She cried, "No, no, no! That's my bucket! Give it back!"
+
+Ben heard Lily and ran to help her. He shouted, "Hey, bird! Leave my sister alone! That's not yours!" He threw his shovel at the pelican. The pelican was surprised and angry. It dropped Lily's bucket and flew away.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were happy and relieved. They picked up their buckets and shovels and went back to playing in the sand. They hoped the pelican would not come back. It was a mean and unknown bird.
+Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, a big box arrived at their house. It was a gift from their grandma.
+
+"Wow, what is in the box?" Tom asked.
+
+"Let's open it and see!" Anna said.
+
+They ran to the box and tore the paper. Inside, they found a modest train set. It had a red engine, a blue wagon, and a green caboose. It also had some tracks and a bridge.
+
+"Thank you, grandma!" Tom and Anna shouted.
+
+They set up the train set on the floor and started to play. They made the train go around the tracks, over the bridge, and under the table. They pretended to be the driver and the passengers. They had a lot of fun.
+
+"Choo-choo!" Tom said.
+
+"Beep-beep!" Anna said.
+
+They played with the train set until it was time for dinner. They put the train set back in the box and hugged it.
+
+"We love you, grandma!" Tom and Anna said.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them. Tom and Lily are scared. They run away, but the dog is faster. It catches Lily and bites her leg. Lily cries. Tom is brave. He picks up a stick and hits the dog. The dog lets go of Lily and runs away.
+
+Tom helps Lily get up. He sees blood on her leg. He says, "Lily, are you okay? We need to go to mom and dad. They will make you better." Lily nods. She is in pain. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You rescued me from the bad dog." Tom smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you are safe. Come on, let's go."
+
+They walk to the park gate. They see a man in a blue uniform. He has a badge and a hat. He is a cop. He sees the dog. He says, "Hey, kids, did that dog hurt you?" Tom and Lily say, "Yes, sir. It bit Lily's leg. We were scared." The cop says, "Don't worry, kids. I will catch that dog. It is a bad dog. It escaped from the jail. It was there for biting other people. I will put it back in the jail. It will not hurt anyone else." Tom and Lily say, "Thank you, sir. You are a good cop. You will rescue other people from the bad dog." The cop says, "You are welcome, kids. You are brave and smart. You did the right thing. Now, go to your mom and dad. They will take care of you." Tom and Lily say, "Okay, sir. Bye, sir." They wave and run to their mom and dad. They are grateful for the cop and for each other. They hug and kiss. They are happy.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Look, Anna, leaves!" Tom said. "Let's go!"
+
+They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. They felt happy and warm.
+
+But the leaves were not clean. They were filthy. They had dirt and bugs and worms. They made Tom and Anna's clothes and hair and skin filthy too.
+
+"Yuck, Tom, these leaves are filthy!" Anna said. "We need to get out!"
+
+They got out of the pile and looked at each other. They were covered in filth. They felt icky and cold.
+
+They heard a voice. It was Mom. She came to pick them up.
+
+"Tom, Anna, what did you do?" Mom said. "You are filthy! How will I clean you?"
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry. They remembered Mom's rule. They should not play in filthy things.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they said. "We forgot."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not happy. But she loved Tom and Anna. She took them to the car.
+
+"Come on, you filthy kids," she said. "Let's go home and take a bath. And next time, remember to play in clean things."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Tom and Anna. You are my green. Green is my favorite color. Even when you are filthy."
+Lila and Ben love to go to the park and look at the birds. They see big birds, small birds, red birds, blue birds, and many more. They like to talk to the birds and pretend they can understand them.
+
+One day, they see a very big and old bird. It has a long neck, a big beak, and gray feathers. It looks like a fly, but much bigger and slower. Lila and Ben are curious and want to talk to it.
+
+"Hello, old fly," Lila says. "What is your name?"
+
+The old fly looks at Lila and Ben and makes a loud noise. It sounds like "honk, honk, honk".
+
+"Wow, you can talk!" Ben says. "Can you tell us a story?"
+
+The old fly nods and says, "I can tell you a story. A story of a long time ago, when I was young and fast. A story of the ancient times, when there were many more like me. A story of the big water, where I came from and where I will go back."
+
+Lila and Ben listen to the old fly's story. They learn that he is not a fly, but a goose. A goose that travels far and wide every year, following the sun and the stars. A goose that has seen many things and knows many secrets. A goose that is wise and kind.
+
+Lila and Ben are happy and amazed. They thank the old fly, or the goose, for his story. They say goodbye and promise to visit him again. They run back to their mom and dad and tell them about their new friend. They hope to see him again and hear more stories of the ancient times.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. They wanted to see what was in it. They put on their boots and walked to the swamp.
+
+The swamp was dark and smelly. They saw frogs, bugs, and plants. They also saw something that glowed. It was a small ball of light that moved in the air. Tom and Mia were curious. They followed the light.
+
+"Where are you going, light?" Tom asked. "Can we play with you?"
+
+The light did not answer. It flew away from them. Tom and Mia ran after it. They tried to catch it, but it was too fast. They got tired and frustrated.
+
+"Stop, light!" Mia shouted. "We just want to be your friends!"
+
+The light did not stop. It flew deeper into the swamp. Tom and Mia could not see it anymore. They were sad and lost. They did not know how to get back to their house.
+
+They heard a loud noise. It was a big crocodile. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It saw Tom and Mia and wanted to eat them. It opened its mouth and roared.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They screamed and ran away. They saw the light again. It was waiting for them. It flashed and beeped. It was not a real light. It was a toy.
+
+Tom and Mia remembered. They had brought the toy with them. They had thrown it into the swamp as a joke. They had forgotten about it. The toy had a battery and a sensor. It turned on when it sensed movement. It flew away when it sensed sound.
+
+Tom and Mia grabbed the toy. They were happy and relieved. They thanked the toy for saving them. They turned it off and put it in their pocket. They followed their footprints back to their house. They never went to the swamp again. They learned their lesson. They did not play with things that glow.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have fun and share the blocks.
+
+One day, they want to make a big castle with the blocks. They put many blocks on top of each other. They make walls and doors and windows. They want to make a roof too, but it is hard. The blocks fall down and the castle breaks.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "Our castle is gone!"
+
+Ben says, "Don't be sad, Anna. We can try again. We need to make a strong structure. We need to support the blocks with more blocks. Like this." He shows Anna how to put blocks under the roof blocks.
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You help me and teach me. I am grateful for you."
+
+They hug and smile. They work together and make a new castle. It is bigger and better than before. They are happy and proud. They play with the castle and have more fun.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big train with many cars. The train has a sign that says "Zoo Express".
+
+"Wow, look at the train!" Tom says. "Do you want to go to the zoo?"
+
+"Yes, I love the zoo!" Anna says. "But how do we get on the train?"
+
+They go to a man who has a hat and a badge. He is the train man. He has many tickets in his hand.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want to join the train?" the train man says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna say.
+
+"OK, then. You need a ticket to join the train. One ticket is two coins. Do you have coins?" the train man says.
+
+Tom and Anna look in their pockets. They each have two coins. They give the coins to the train man. He gives them each a ticket.
+
+"Here you go. This is your ticket. Keep it with you. It is easy to lose it. The train will leave soon. Hurry up and find a seat!" the train man says.
+
+Tom and Anna thank the train man. They run to the train. They find a seat near the window. They are happy. They can see the park, the trees, and the birds. They are excited to see the zoo. They hold their tickets tight. They do not want to lose them. They join the train. The train goes choo-choo. The train goes fast. The train goes to the zoo.
+Lila was a shy girl who liked to play with rocks. She had many rocks of different colors and shapes that she found in the park, the beach, and the yard. She liked to sort them, stack them, and pretend they were jewelry.
+
+One day, she saw a new boy in the park. He had a big bag of rocks too. He was making a tower with them. Lila wanted to see his rocks, but she was too shy to say hello. She watched him from behind a tree.
+
+The boy saw her and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you like rocks too?" He walked over to her and showed her his bag. "Look, I have red rocks, and blue rocks, and shiny rocks. Do you want to trade some rocks with me?"
+
+Lila nodded. She opened her bag and showed him her rocks. "I have pink rocks, and green rocks, and smooth rocks. They are my jewelry. See, I have a necklace and a bracelet and a ring." She pointed to the rocks she had tied with string around her neck, wrist, and finger.
+
+Ben liked her jewelry. He said, "Wow, that's very pretty. Can I try them on?" He took off his hat and put on the necklace. He put the bracelet on his other wrist and the ring on his thumb. He said, "How do I look?"
+
+Lila giggled. She said, "You look funny. But I like your hat. Can I try it on?" She took off her necklace and gave it to him. She put on his hat and tilted it to the side. She said, "How do I look?"
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "You look cute. But I like your necklace. Can we share?" He put the necklace back on and gave her the bracelet and the ring. He said, "Now we both have jewelry."
+
+Lila smiled. She said, "Yes, we do. And we both have rocks. And we both have a new friend." She held out her hand and he took it. They walked to his tower and started to play with their rocks. They were not shy anymore.
+Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl and some flour and eggs and sugar. They put everything in the bowl and started to stir with a big spoon. They liked to stir and make a mess.
+
+But they did not see that the spoon was made of wood. And they did not see that the stove was on. And they did not see that the spoon was getting too hot. Soon, the spoon caught fire and burned. The fire made a lot of smoke and noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw the fire and the smoke and the mess. She grabbed a wet cloth and put out the fire. She was very angry and scared. She said to Tom and Lily, "What are you doing? You could have hurt yourself and the house! You should never play with the stove or fire! You should always ask me before you use anything in the kitchen!"
+
+Tom and Lily were very ashamed. They did not mean to make a fire or a mess. They only wanted to make a cake for Mom. They said to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to make you a cake. We did not know the spoon was wood. We did not know the stove was on. We did not know the spoon would burn."
+
+Mom hugged Tom and Lily. She was still angry and scared, but she was also glad that they were not hurt. She said to Tom and Lily, "I love you, Tom and Lily. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Fire is very dangerous and can hurt you and the house. Next time, if you want to make a cake, we can do it together. But first, we have to clean up this mess."
+
+Tom and Lily helped Mom clean up the mess. They threw away the burned spoon and the bowl and the flour and the eggs and the sugar. They wiped the stove and the table and the floor. They opened the window and the door to let the smoke out. They said to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you, Mom. Can we still make a cake, Mom?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Maybe later, Tom and Lily. But first, we have to eat lunch. And then, we have to take a nap. And then, maybe, we can make a cake. But only with my help. And only with a metal spoon. And only with the stove off."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. Anna had a big spoon and Ben had a spatula.
+
+"Look, I made soup!" Anna said, stirring a pot on the stove. "It has carrots and peas and noodles."
+
+"Yum, that sounds good!" Ben said, flipping a pancake on a pan. "I made pancakes. They are brown and sweet."
+
+They were having fun, but they forgot one thing. The stove was not pretend. It was real and hot. Mom had told them not to touch it, but they did not listen.
+
+Suddenly, they smelled something bad. Smoke was coming out of the pot and the pan. The soup and the pancakes were burning!
+
+"Uh-oh!" Anna and Ben said together. They were scared and did not know what to do.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran into the kitchen. She saw the smoke and the fire. She quickly turned off the stove and moved the pot and the pan away. She opened the window and waved a towel to clear the air.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What were you doing?" Mom asked, looking at them with a frown. "You know you are not supposed to play with the stove. It is very dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or started a big fire."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben said, hanging their heads. They felt bad and ashamed.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are okay, but you have to be more careful. The stove is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only. You have to remind each other to follow the rules and stay safe. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Anna and Ben said, nodding. They learned their lesson and promised to never play with the stove again. They also helped Mom clean up the mess and said sorry again.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I love you both. But next time, if you want to make soup and pancakes, let me help you. Okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," Anna and Ben said, smiling back. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you too."
+Anna and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Some were fast, some were loud, some were shiny. But their favorite car was the big red truck. It was made of steel and it could reverse and beep.
+
+One day, they took the big red truck to the park. They drove it on the grass, on the sand, on the slide. They had a lot of fun. But then they saw a scary dog. The dog was big and black and had sharp teeth. It barked and ran towards them.
+
+"Help!" Anna cried. "The dog wants our truck!"
+
+Ben was brave. He grabbed the truck and turned it around. He pushed the button and made it reverse and beep. The noise scared the dog. It stopped and ran away.
+
+"Wow, you did it!" Anna said. "You saved our truck!"
+
+Ben smiled. He hugged Anna and the truck. "The truck is our hero!" he said. "It is strong and loud and can reverse and beep. No dog can take it from us!"
+
+They drove the truck back to their home. They were happy and proud. They loved their big red truck.
+Tim liked to count. He counted his toys, his fingers, his toes, and the stars in the sky. He wanted to go to the stars one day, in a big rocket. He asked his mom and dad if they could take him to the stars, but they said no. They said rockets were too far and too fast and too loud.
+
+But Tim was persistent. He did not give up. He made a rocket out of a big box and some paper and some crayons. He put on his helmet and his suit and his boots. He said to his mom and dad, "I am going to the stars now. Bye bye!"
+
+His mom and dad smiled and hugged him. They said, "Have a good trip, Tim. We love you. But don't forget to come back soon."
+
+Tim got into his rocket and closed the door. He counted down from ten. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" He made a loud noise with his mouth. He pretended his rocket flew up and up and up, to the stars. He saw the moon and the sun and the planets. He waved to them and said hello.
+
+He had a lot of fun in his rocket. But he also missed his mom and dad. He decided to come back home. He counted down from ten again. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, landing!" He made another loud noise with his mouth. He opened the door and got out of his rocket. He ran to his mom and dad and hugged them. He said, "I am back from the stars. I love you."
+
+His mom and dad hugged him back. They said, "We are happy you are back, Tim. We love you too. You are a very brave and persistent astronaut. But now it is time for bed. You need to rest after your big adventure."
+
+Tim nodded and yawned. He was tired from his trip. He said good night to his rocket and his toys and his stars. He went to bed with his mom and dad. He dreamed of the stars and his rocket. He was happy.
+Sara and Ben love to go to the park with Mom. They like to swing, slide and run on the grass. Sometimes they see dogs, birds and squirrels. But today they see something very big and gray. It is an elephant!
+
+"Wow, look at that elephant!" Sara says. "It has a long nose and big ears. Can we go and say hello?"
+
+Mom nods and smiles. She holds their hands and walks to the elephant. The elephant is friendly and gentle. It lets Sara and Ben touch its skin and hair. It makes a loud sound with its nose. Sara and Ben giggle.
+
+"Hello, elephant. What is your name?" Ben asks.
+
+The elephant points to a sign with its nose. The sign says: "My name is Ellie. I am visiting the park for a special event. I like to eat peanuts and bananas. Do you want to feed me?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod and clap. Mom gives them some peanuts and bananas from a basket. They take turns to give them to Ellie. Ellie eats them with her nose and chews them with her mouth. She looks happy and full.
+
+"Yummy, yummy, thank you!" Ellie says.
+
+"You're welcome, Ellie. You are very nice and smart. We like you a lot!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+They hug Ellie and wave goodbye. They go back to play on the swings and slides. They have a lot of fun at the park with Mom and Ellie. They hope to see Ellie again soon.
+Mole was a very competitive animal. He liked to dig faster and deeper than any other mole. He wanted to have the best tunnels and the most worms. He did not like to share or play with other moles.
+
+One day, he met a new mole in his area. The new mole was friendly and wanted to be his friend. He said, "Hello, I am Max. You have nice tunnels. Can I dig with you?"
+
+Mole did not want to dig with Max. He thought Max would slow him down or take his worms. He said, "No, you cannot dig with me. These are my tunnels. Go away!"
+
+Max was sad and confused. He did not understand why Mole was so mean. He said, "But I just want to be your friend. We can dig together and have fun. Why are you so competitive?"
+
+Mole did not listen to Max. He kept digging and digging, trying to prove he was the best. He did not notice that he was digging too close to a big rock. He hit the rock with his nose and it hurt a lot. He cried out in pain and stopped digging.
+
+Max heard Mole's cry and ran to help him. He saw that Mole had a big bump on his nose and blood on his fur. He said, "Oh no, are you okay? That looks very bad. Let me help you."
+
+Mole felt ashamed and sorry. He realized that he had been very rude and selfish. He said, "Thank you, Max. You are very kind. I am sorry I was so mean to you. I was too competitive and I did not think about you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Max smiled and nodded. He said, "Of course I can forgive you. You are my friend. Friends help each other and share. Come on, let's go to my tunnel. I have some leaves and berries to make you feel better."
+
+Mole and Max went to Max's tunnel and ate the leaves and berries. They talked and laughed and became good friends. They decided to dig together and share their worms. They learned that being competitive is not as fun as being friendly.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They have fun.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He wants the ball. He takes it from Tom. He runs away. Tom is sad. Lily is angry.
+
+"That is not fair!" Lily says. "Give us back our ball!"
+
+The big boy does not listen. He laughs. He kicks the ball. He does not care.
+
+Lily and Tom think. They have an idea. They run to the kite. They untie it. They fly it high in the sky.
+
+The big boy sees the kite. He likes it. He wants it. He drops the ball. He runs to the kite.
+
+Lily and Tom are quick. They grab the ball. They run to their bikes. They ride away.
+
+The big boy reaches the kite. He tries to catch it. But it is too high. He jumps. He falls. He cries.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They have their ball. They have their kite. They have each other.
+
+They go home. They hug their moms. They tell them the story.
+
+Their moms are proud. They say, "You are smart. You are brave. You are fair."
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a rake in the shed. It was big and had many teeth. They wanted to use it for fun.
+
+"Let's rake the leaves and make a pile," said Tim.
+
+"OK, but I want to jump in it first," said Sam.
+
+They worked hard and raked all the leaves they could find. They made a big pile in the yard. It looked soft and cozy.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" said Tim and ran to the pile. He jumped in and laughed.
+
+Sam followed him and jumped in too. They rolled and tossed the leaves in the air. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice. It was their mom.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing? You made a mess of the yard. I just raked it this morning. You are ignorant of the work I do. Come here right now and clean it up!"
+
+She was angry and had a frown on her face.
+
+Tim and Sam felt bad. They did not know mom had raked the leaves. They thought they were just playing.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they said. "We did not mean to make you mad. We will help you rake the leaves again."
+
+They got out of the pile and picked up the rake. They started to rake the leaves back into a neat pile.
+
+Mom saw them and smiled. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were sorry and wanted to help.
+
+"Thank you, boys," she said. "You are good sons. Next time, ask me before you use the rake. And don't shut the shed door so hard. It might break."
+
+They nodded and said, "OK, mom. We love you."
+
+They hugged mom and finished raking the leaves. They learned to be more careful and respectful. They still liked to play outside, but they also liked to help mom.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big mountain far away. They want to go there and see what is on top.
+
+"Let's go to the mountain, Lily!" Ben says. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals."
+
+"OK, Ben, but we need to wear warm clothes. The mountain is cold and windy." Lily says. She puts on her red hat and her blue coat. Ben wears his green scarf and his yellow boots.
+
+They walk and walk for a long time. They see some trees and rocks and birds. They also see some snow on the mountain. They are happy and excited.
+
+"Look, Lily, we are almost there!" Ben says. He points to the top of the mountain. "It is so pretty and white!"
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is very pretty. But it is also very cold. I can see my breath!" Lily says. She shivers and hugs her coat.
+
+They reach the top of the mountain. They see a big lake and a rainbow. They also see some flowers and animals. They are very surprised and happy.
+
+"Wow, Lily, this is amazing!" Ben says. He picks a flower and gives it to Lily. "This is for you. You are my best friend."
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are my best friend too." Lily says. She smiles and puts the flower in her hat. "This is the best day ever!"
+
+They hug and laugh. They enjoy the view and the sun. They are glad they went to the mountain. They are glad they wore warm clothes. They are glad they are friends.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys in their room. But they also have to do some things before they play. They have to brush their teeth and hair, and put on their clothes.
+
+One morning, Lily and Tom wake up early. They want to play with their new blocks. They jump out of bed and run to their toy box. They take out the blocks and start to build a tower.
+
+But then, Mom comes in. She sees the twins and their blocks. She says, "Lily and Tom, what are you doing? You have to brush your teeth and hair, and put on your clothes. You are not ready for the day. Come on, put away your blocks and follow me."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They do not want to stop playing. They want to finish their tower. They say, "Mom, please, can we play a little more? We like our blocks. We want to make a big tower."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot play now. You have to brush your teeth and hair, and put on your clothes. That is the rule. You can play later, after you are ready. Now, come on, take your brush and follow me."
+
+Lily and Tom sigh. They know Mom is right. They have to follow the rule. They put away their blocks and take their brush. They follow Mom to the bathroom. They brush their teeth and hair, and put on their clothes. They look at themselves in the mirror. They smile. They are ready for the day.
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "Good job, Lily and Tom. You are very good twins. Now, you can play with your blocks. But first, let me give you a kiss and a hug."
+
+Lily and Tom hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. You are the best Mom."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. You are the best twins. Now, go and have fun with your blocks. But remember, when I call you for breakfast, you have to come right away. OK?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We will come right away. Bye, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "Bye, Lily and Tom. Have fun."
+
+Lily and Tom run back to their room. They take out their blocks and start to build their tower again. They are happy. They have brushed their teeth and hair, and put on their clothes. They are ready for the day. And they can play with their blocks. They are good twins.
+On Wednesday, Lily and her mom went to a new house. They had many boxes to unpack. Lily was happy to see her toys and books again. She wanted to play with them right away.
+
+But mom said, "Lily, we have to unpack the other things first. We need to find our plates and cups and clothes. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily nodded and followed mom to the kitchen. She saw a big box with a picture of a cat on it. She liked cats. She opened the box and found a lot of shiny things inside. They were pots and pans and spoons and forks. She took them out and put them on the table.
+
+Then she heard a meow. She looked inside the box again and saw a small, furry cat. It was black and white and had green eyes. It looked at Lily and licked its paw.
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She said, "Mom, look! There is a cat in the box! How did it get here? Can we keep it?"
+
+Mom came to see the cat. She was also surprised and smiled. She said, "That is very unusual. Maybe someone put the cat in the box by mistake. Or maybe the cat wanted to come with us. We can keep it if you want. What will you name it?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I will name it Box. Because it came in a box. And because I like boxes."
+
+Mom laughed and hugged Lily and Box. She said, "That is a good name. Welcome to our new home, Box. I hope you like it here."
+
+Lily and Box purred and snuggled. They were happy to have a new home and a new friend. They helped mom unpack the rest of the boxes. They found more toys and books and clothes and other things. They made the new house cozy and fun. They had a good Wednesday.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a plastic doll and Ben has a plastic car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car can go fast!" Ben says, as he pushes his car on the floor.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your car is cool!" Lily says, as she watches his car zoom by.
+
+Lily picks up her doll and makes her talk. "Hello, I am Anna, and I like to dance and sing. Do you want to be my friend?" she says, in a high voice.
+
+Ben stops his car and looks at Lily's doll. He points at her dress. "What is that?" he asks.
+
+"That is a dress. Anna likes to wear dresses. They are pretty and soft," Lily says.
+
+Ben points at his car. "This is a car. Cars are fast and loud. They can go anywhere," he says.
+
+Lily nods. "Cars are fun, too. Can I play with your car?" she asks.
+
+Ben smiles. "Sure, Lily. You can play with my car. And I can play with your doll. We can share our toys," he says.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They swap their toys and play together. They think they are lucky to have each other and their plastic toys. They are good friends.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the toy shop with their moms. They see many toys. They see cars, trains, dolls, and animals.
+
+Tom sees a model car. It is red and shiny. It has doors that open and close. It has lights that flash. Tom wants to buy the model car. He asks his mom.
+
+"Mom, can I buy the model car? It is so cool!"
+
+His mom looks at the price tag. It is very expensive. She says no.
+
+"Tom, you have many cars at home. You don't need another one. This model car is too costly. Let's look for something else."
+
+Tom is sad. He cries. He wants the model car.
+
+Sam sees a model snake. It is green and long. It has scales that shine. It has a tongue that sticks out. Sam likes the model snake. He asks his mom.
+
+"Mom, can I buy the model snake? It is so fun!"
+
+His mom looks at the price tag. It is very cheap. She says yes.
+
+"Sam, you don't have many animals at home. You can buy the model snake. It is flexible. You can bend it and twist it. It is a good toy."
+
+Sam is happy. He smiles. He buys the model snake.
+
+Tom and Sam leave the toy shop. They go to the park. They want to play with their toys.
+
+Tom tries to play with his model car. He pushes it on the grass. It does not move. He pushes it on the sand. It gets stuck. He pushes it on the slide. It falls down. He gets angry. He throws the model car. It breaks.
+
+Sam tries to play with his model snake. He bends it into a circle. He twists it into a spiral. He wraps it around his arm. He pretends it is alive. He has fun. He laughs. He hugs the model snake. It does not break.
+
+Tom sees Sam. He feels sorry. He says sorry.
+
+"Sam, I am sorry. I was mean. I wanted your model snake. It is a better toy than my model car. Can we share?"
+
+Sam sees Tom. He feels sorry. He says sorry.
+
+"Tom, I am sorry. I was rude. I did not share my model snake. It is a fun toy, but you can have it. Can we be friends?"
+

+
+"Ben, can you help me print the jet?" Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily. Let me see the jet." Ben says.
+

+Sara and Tom were jolly friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they went to the sea with their mums. The sea was big and blue and made funny noises.
+
+"Look, Sara, the sea is waving at us!" Tom said, pointing at the water.
+
+"Let's wave back!" Sara said, and they both waved their hands.
+
+Then they saw some shells on the sand. They were shiny and pretty and had different shapes.
+
+"Let's skip and find some shells!" Sara said, and they both skipped along the shore.
+
+They found many shells and put them in their buckets. They showed their mums their shells and they smiled.
+
+"Wow, you found some lovely shells!" Sara's mum said.
+
+"They are for you, mum!" Sara said, and gave her a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Sara, you are very sweet!" Sara's mum said.

+
+"Look, Sara, I print the head of the dragon. It has big teeth and horns," Ben says.
+
+"Wow, Ben, it looks good. I print the tail of the dragon. It has spikes and scales," Sara says.
+
+They print and print until they finish the dragon. They smile and show each other their picture. It is very big and colorful.
+
+But they are careless and do not see the tip of the crayon on the table. The tip is sharp and can make a hole. When they move the paper, the tip pokes the paper and makes a big hole in the middle of the dragon.
+
+"Oh no, Sara, look what we did. We make a hole in our dragon. It is ruined," Ben says.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, you are right. We are careless and do not see the tip. Now our dragon has a hole in his belly. It is sad," Sara says.
+
+They are sad and angry. They do not want to print anymore. They throw away their paper and crayons. They go to their mom and tell her what happened. She hugs them and says:
+
+"I am sorry, Sara and Ben. It is okay to make mistakes. You can print another dragon or something else. You just have to be careful and see the tip of the crayon. It is sharp and can hurt you or your paper. Next time, you can put the crayon in a cup or a box. Then it will not poke anything. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod and say yes. They go back to their table and get a new paper and crayons. They are careful and see the tip of the crayon. They print a new picture of a dragon. It is bigger and better than before. They are happy and proud again. They show their mom and she says:
+
+"Wow, Sara and Ben, you print a beautiful dragon. It has no hole and it looks very strong and brave. You are very good at printing. I am proud of you. Well done!"
+Lila and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys. One day, they have a big idea. They want to sell some of their toys to other kids. They think they can get money and buy new toys.
+
+They take some of their toys and put them on a table. They make a sign that says "Toys for sale". They put the sign on the wall near the street. They wait for other kids to come and buy their toys.
+
+Soon, a boy comes and looks at the toys. He sees a car that he likes. He asks Lila and Ben, "How much is this car?"
+
+Lila and Ben look at each other. They do not know how much to ask. They want to get a lot of money, but they also want to sell the car. They say, "Five dollars."
+
+The boy says, "That is too much. I only have two dollars."
+
+Lila and Ben do not want to lose the sale. They say, "OK, two dollars. But you have to give us something else too."
+
+The boy thinks for a moment. He has a book in his backpack. He likes the book, but he likes the car more. He says, "I can give you this book too. It is a good book. It has stories about wise animals."
+
+Lila and Ben look at the book. They like books. They like stories. They think the book looks interesting. They say, "OK, deal. You can have the car and we can have the book."
+
+They exchange the car and the book. They say, "Thank you. Bye."
+
+The boy says, "Thank you. Bye."
+
+He goes away with the car. Lila and Ben go inside with the book. They sit on the couch and read the book. They learn about wise animals. They are happy. They think they made a good trade.
+Tim and Tom were brothers who liked to run and play. They joined a race at school and tried to be fast. Tim was faster than Tom and won a medal. Tom was sad and envious. He wanted a medal too.
+
+"Look at my medal, Tom. It is shiny and pretty. You don't have one, because you are slow," Tim said to Tom. He showed his medal to Tom and made fun of him.
+
+Tom was angry and hurt. He wanted to make Tim sad too. He had an idea. He waited until Tim was asleep and took his medal. He put it in a pot on the stove and turned on the fire. He thought the medal would melt and be gone.
+
+But he was wrong. The medal did not melt. It was made of metal, not ice. The pot got very hot and started to smoke. The smoke set off the alarm and woke up everyone. Tim and Tom's mom and dad came to the kitchen and saw what Tom had done. They were very upset and scared.
+
+"Tom, what did you do? You could have started a fire and hurt yourself and everyone. Why did you take Tim's medal and try to melt it?" Mom asked Tom.
+
+Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He told Mom and Dad that he was envious of Tim and wanted to ruin his medal. He said he was sorry to Tim and gave him back his medal.
+
+Tim was also sorry. He said he was sorry to Tom for being mean and teasing him. He said he would share his medal with Tom and be a better brother.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Tim and Tom and told them they loved them. They also told them they had to learn a lesson. They said being envious and mean was wrong and dangerous. They said they had to be happy for each other and be kind and respectful. They said they had to work hard and be honest to earn their own medals.
+
+The end.
+

+
+The dog does not listen. The dog runs away with the ball. Tom and Jen chase the dog. They run and run. They are out of breath.
+
+They see the dog stop at a house. The dog drops the ball on the porch. The dog goes inside. Tom and Jen run to the porch. They grab the ball. They are happy.
+
+They turn to leave. They see a man. The man is angry. The man is the dog's owner. The man yells at them. "Hey, kids! What are you doing here? That is my dog's ball!"
+
+Tom and Jen are scared again. They say sorry. They explain that the ball is theirs. They show the man their names on the ball.
+
+The man looks at the ball. He sees the names. He sees the little red ball. He feels sorry. He says sorry. He says he did not know. He says he will buy a new ball for his dog.
+
+Tom and Jen smile. They say thank you. They say goodbye. They run back to the park. They kick the ball. They have fun. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they see a big bird outside their window. The bird is red and blue and green. It has a long tail and a shiny beak. It looks weird.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Ben says. "It is so pretty and big. I want to fly like it."
+
+"Me too," Mia says. "Let's go outside and see it."
+
+They put on their shoes and jackets and run outside. The bird is still there, on a branch. It sees them and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" the bird says.
+
+The twins are surprised. The bird can talk!
+
+"Hello, bird," Ben says. "What is your name?"
+
+"My name is Coco," the bird says. "I am a parrot. I can fly and talk. Do you want to be my friends?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Mia says. "You are very cool. Can you teach us how to fly?"
+
+Coco laughs. "You can't fly. You are not birds. You are kids. But I can show you something fun. Follow me."
+
+Coco flies away. The twins follow him. They run across the street, past the cars and the buses. They come to a big place with many people and things. It is the market.
+
+"Look, look, look!" Coco says. "This is the market. You can find many things here. Fruits, vegetables, flowers, toys, clothes, books, and more. Come, I will show you."
+
+Coco flies from stall to stall. He picks up things with his beak and drops them. He makes noises and copies what people say. He makes a big mess.
+
+The twins laugh. They think it is funny. But the people in the market do not. They are angry. They shout at Coco and the twins. They want them to go away.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" a man says. "You are ruining my apples. Go away, you bad bird and kids."
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Coco says. "We are just having fun. We don't mean to be bad."
+
+He flies away. The twins follow him. They run back to their house. They are scared and sad. They do not like to make people angry.
+
+They go inside and hug their mom. She sees them and smiles.
+
+"Where have you been?" she asks. "You look dirty and tired."
+
+"We went to see a weird bird," Ben says. "His name is Coco. He can fly and talk. He took us to the market. But we made a big mess. The people were mad at us. We are sorry."
+
+Mom listens and nods. She is not mad. She is glad they are safe.
+
+"It's okay," she says. "I understand. You were curious and wanted to have fun. But you have to be careful. The market is not a place to play. You have to respect the people and their things. And you have to look both ways before you cross the street. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom," the twins say. "We understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom hugs them and kisses them. She gives them some cookies and milk. She tells them to wash their hands and faces. She tells them to rest.
+
+The twins eat and drink. They feel better. They go to their room and look out the window. They see Coco on the branch. He sees them and waves his wing.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" he says. "Are you okay? Do you still want to be my friends?"
+
+The twins smile and wave back.
+
+"Hello, Coco," they say. "We are okay. We still want to be your friends. But we can't fly with you. We can only play with you here. Is that okay?"
+
+Coco nods and smiles.
+
+"That's okay," he says. "You are good kids. I like you. You are my friends. I will come back tomorrow. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!"
+
+He flies away. The twins watch him go. They are happy. They have a new friend. A weird and wonderful friend.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They loved to look at the sunflowers that grew tall and yellow. One day, they saw a big bee flying around the sunflowers. They wanted to see it up close, so they ran after it.
+
+"Come back, bee!" Lily shouted. "We want to be your friends!"
+
+The bee did not want to be their friends. It was scared of the children and flew away. Lily and Tom followed it to the other side of the garden, where there was a big fence. They did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not enter!"
+
+The bee flew over the fence and into a dark hole. Lily and Tom climbed over the fence and ran to the hole. They did not know that the hole was the entrance to a cave, where a mean bear lived.
+
+"Maybe the bee is inside!" Tom said. "Let's go and find it!"
+
+They crawled into the hole and saw a dim light. They thought it was the bee, but it was not. It was the bear's eyes, shining in the dark. The bear was hungry and angry. It roared and jumped at the children.
+
+Lily and Tom screamed and tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear caught them and ate them. They vanished from the garden and never came back.
+
+The sunflowers did not miss them. They thought they were crazy to chase a bee and go into a bear's cave. They shook their heads and smiled at the sun. They were happy to be sunflowers.
+Sara and Ben liked to play in the garden. They had a big hedge that they could hide behind. They pretended it was a castle or a jungle or a spaceship. Sometimes they found things in the hedge, like sticks or stones or feathers.
+
+One day, Sara found a shiny thing in the hedge. It was a pin with a star on it. She liked it very much. She wanted to attach it to her dress. She showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a star!" she said.
+
+Ben looked at the pin. He wanted it too. He tried to grab it from Sara.
+
+"Give it to me, Sara, it's mine!" he said.
+
+"No, Ben, it's mine! I found it first!" Sara said.
+
+They both pulled the pin. They were very stubborn. They did not want to share.
+
+But the pin was not very strong. It broke in two. The star fell off. Sara and Ben both cried.
+
+They did not know that the pin belonged to their mom. She had lost it in the hedge a long time ago. She had been looking for it ever since. She had a matching necklace with a star on it. She loved it very much.
+
+She heard Sara and Ben crying. She came to the garden. She saw the broken pin and the star on the ground. She was very sad.
+
+"Oh, Sara, Ben, what have you done?" she said. "This was my star. It was very special to me. Why did you break it?"
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They did not know it was their mom's star. They hugged her and said they were sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, mom, we didn't know. We were playing in the hedge. We found the star. We both wanted it. We were stubborn. We broke it," they said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she forgave them. She said they could keep the star. She said they could attach it to something else. She said they could share it.
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They said thank you. They said they loved her. They said they would share the star. They said they would not be stubborn again.
+
+They attached the star to a string. They made a necklace. They took turns wearing it. They played in the hedge. They pretended it was a star.
+Tom is a strong boy. He likes to play with blocks and make shapes. He knows how to make a triangle. He puts three blocks together and makes a point at the top. He is proud of his triangle.
+
+Sara is Tom's sister. She is not as strong as Tom, but she is smart. She knows how to make a square. She puts four blocks together and makes a flat top. She is proud of her square.
+
+One day, Tom and Sara want to play together. They try to make a big shape with their blocks. But they have a problem. Tom wants to use his triangle and Sara wants to use her square. They do not know how to make them fit.
+
+They start to argue and push each other. They are not happy. Their blocks fall down and make a mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees Tom and Sara and their blocks. She is not happy. She tells them to stop fighting and share their blocks. She shows them how to make a house with their blocks. She uses Tom's triangle for the roof and Sara's square for the wall. She uses more blocks for the door and the window.
+
+Tom and Sara see the house and smile. They like the house. They say sorry to each other and hug. They play with the house and have fun. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She knows they are good kids.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box with a gray knob. The box was a secret, because it had a lock and only their dad had the key. Sometimes, their dad would open the box and show them the treasures inside: shiny coins, colorful beads, and funny hats. Tim and Kim loved to look at the treasures, but they were not allowed to touch them.
+
+One day, their dad went out to buy some milk. He told Tim and Kim to be good and not to touch the box. But Tim and Kim were curious and naughty. They wanted to see the treasures again. They tried to open the lock with a spoon, a fork, and a pencil, but they did not succeed. They got angry and frustrated. They started to fight and yell at each other.
+
+"Give me the spoon, you are doing it wrong!" Tim shouted.
+
+"No, you give me the fork, you are too slow!" Kim shouted back.
+
+They pulled and pushed each other, and the box fell to the floor. The gray knob broke off and rolled under the bed. The lock snapped open and the treasures spilled out. Tim and Kim stopped fighting and stared at the mess. They felt guilty and scared. They knew their dad would be very angry.
+
+They heard the door open and their dad's footsteps. They quickly tried to put the treasures back in the box and close the lock. But they could not find the gray knob. They looked under the bed, but it was too dark. They heard their dad's voice.
+
+"Tim, Kim, what are you doing in your room?" he asked.
+
+Tim and Kim did not know what to say. They knew they had done something bad. They decided to tell the truth and say sorry.
+
+"Dad, we are sorry, we touched the box and broke the knob and made a mess," they said in a small voice.
+
+Their dad came into the room and saw the box and the treasures. He was not happy. He was very angry. He scolded Tim and Kim for being disobedient and careless. He told them to clean up the mess and to go to bed without dinner. He also took away the box and the key.
+
+Tim and Kim felt very sad and ashamed. They realized they had made a big mistake. They learned that they should listen to their dad and respect his things. They also learned that they should not fight and yell at each other, but help and share with each other. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They hoped their dad would forgive them and let them see the treasures again someday.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a secret place under a big tree. They cover the place with leaves and sticks. They pretend it is their house.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park. But they see a big sign. The sign says: "Park closed. Do not enter." Anna and Ben are sad. They want to play in their place.
+
+"Maybe we can sneak in," Ben says. "No one will see us."
+
+"No, Ben," Anna says. "That is bad. We have to listen to the sign. It is there for a reason."
+
+"But I miss our place," Ben says. "It is our special place. No one else knows about it."
+
+"I miss it too," Anna says. "But maybe we can find another place to play. A place that is not closed."
+
+They look around. They see a big hill. They see a slide. They see a swing. They see a sandbox. They see a lot of places to play. But they are all in the sun. They are all hot. They are all crowded. They are all noisy.
+
+Anna and Ben do not like these places. They are not like their place. Their place is cool. Their place is quiet. Their place is cozy.
+
+"Let's go home," Anna says. "Maybe we can play in my backyard. We can make a new place there."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But I hope the park will open soon. I do not want our place to be lonely."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But then, Lily's car broke. The wheel came off and rolled away. Lily was sad. She did not want to play anymore.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can repair your car!" Ben said. He was cheerful. He liked to help his sister. He picked up the wheel and the car and ran to the shed. He found some glue and a stick. He put glue on the wheel and the car and stuck them together. He waited for a minute. Then he ran back to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily, your car is good as new!" Ben said. He gave her the car. Lily smiled. She was happy. She hugged her brother. "Thank you, Ben, you are the best!" she said. They started to play again.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. He had found the glue and the stick in the shed. He thought they were toys. He chewed them and made a mess. He ran out of the shed with glue and stick on his fur. He wagged his tail. He wanted to play too.
+
+"Oh no, Rex, what did you do?" Lily and Ben said. They saw the waste in the shed. They saw the glue and the stick on Rex. They were not cheerful anymore. They knew they had to clean up. They knew they had to wash Rex. They knew they had to tell their mom. They wished they had put the glue and the stick away.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look at our snowman! He is so big and nice!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, he is! But we should be careful. The snow is very cold and we don't want to freeze," Ben said.
+
+They put on their gloves and their coats. They decided to play some more. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. He looked angry and mean. Lily and Ben were scared.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted.
+
+They ran away from the dog. But the dog was faster. He chased them and tried to bite them. Lily and Ben were very afraid.
+
+They saw a big tree. They ran behind the tree and hid. They hoped the dog would not find them. They held each other and shivered.
+
+"Shh, Lily, shh. Don't make any noise. Maybe the dog will go away," Ben whispered.
+
+They stayed very still and quiet. They did not move or talk. They tried to freeze like the snowman. They hoped the dog would not see them.
+
+The dog came closer. He sniffed the air and the snow. He saw the snowman. He thought the snowman was a person. He barked and jumped at the snowman. He bit the hat and the scarf. He pulled the carrot nose and the rocks. He made the snowman fall apart.
+
+Lily and Ben watched the dog. They felt sorry for the snowman. But they were also glad. The dog was busy with the snowman. He did not notice them.
+
+They saw a man. The man was the dog's owner. He called the dog's name. He was looking for the dog. He saw the dog and the snowman. He was angry and ashamed.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog! What have you done? You ruined the snowman! Come here, now!" the man said.
+
+He took the dog by the collar. He apologized to Lily and Ben. He said he was sorry for the trouble. He said he would buy them a new hat and scarf. He said he would help them make a new snowman. He said he would be more careful with his dog. He said he would teach his dog to be nice and friendly.
+
+Lily and Ben came out from behind the tree. They were still scared, but they were also polite. They thanked the man for his offer. They said they were not hurt. They said they understood that the dog was not bad, just playful. They said they would like to be friends with the dog.
+
+The man smiled. He was happy and relieved. He said he was proud of Lily and Ben. He said they were brave and kind. He said they had a good heart. He said they had learned a valuable lesson.
+
+The lesson was: be careful, but don't be afraid. Be nice, but don't be mean. Be friendly, but don't be rude. Be happy, but don't be selfish. Be yourself, but don't be alone.

+
+Some people heard the old man and came to help him. They saw Tom and Lily with the cane and scolded them. They said, "Shame on you, children! How could you be so cruel and selfish? You should apologize to the old man and give him back his cane!"
+
+Tom and Lily realized they had done something wrong. They felt sorry and ashamed. They brought the cane back to the old man and said, "We're sorry, mister. We didn't mean to hurt you. We just wanted to have some fun. Please forgive us."
+
+The old man looked at the twins and saw their tears and remorse. He felt a twinge of pity and kindness. He said, "It's all right, children. I forgive you. But you should never break or take things that don't belong to you. And you should always respect your elders. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mister. We understand. Thank you for forgiving us."

+Lily and Lucy were twins. They looked the same, but they were not the same. Lily was honest and kind. Lucy was sneaky and mean. Lucy liked to pinch Lily when no one was looking. Lily did not like that. She told Lucy to stop, but Lucy did not listen.
+

+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to them. She saw Lucy on the ground and Lily on the slide. She asked, "What happened?" Lily was honest and said, "Lucy pinched me all the time. I pinched her back. I'm sorry, Mom." Lucy was not honest and said, "Lily pushed me off the slide. She's mean, Mom."
+
+Mom looked at them and knew who was telling the truth. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm proud of you for being honest, Lily. But pinching is not nice. You should use your words, not your hands." She scolded Lucy and said, "Lucy, you should not lie or pinch your sister. That's not how twins should treat each other. You should say sorry to Lily and be kind to her."
+
+Lucy felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "Sorry, Lily. I won't pinch you anymore." Lily said, "Sorry, Lucy. I won't pinch you either." They hugged and said, "We love each other."

+"Lily, what are you doing here?" he asked. "You know you are not allowed in my office. You made a mess. And you took my necklace. That was a gift from your mom. It is very special. You have to give it back."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to make her dad angry. She did not know the necklace was special. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to keep it. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, dad," she said. "I was bored. I wanted to play. I wanted to discover new things. I liked the necklace. It has a heart. Like you and mom."

And we both love you."
+
+He took off the necklace. He put it back in the box. He put it back in the drawer. He closed it. He held Lily's hand.
+
+"Come on, Lily," he said. "Let's go to your room. I'll show you something else. Something you can play with. Something I made for you. It is a book. It has stories. Stories about you and me and mom. Stories about our adventures. Stories about our discoveries. Stories about our love."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked stories. She liked adventures. She liked discoveries. She liked love. She followed her dad. She left the desk. She closed the door. She discovered something new.

+But then, the dog sees a squirrel. He drops the ball and chases the squirrel. He runs very fast and barks very loud. Lily and Max are scared. They want their ball back, but they don't want to follow the dog. They don't know where he is going.
+
+Lily has an idea. She sees a stick on the ground. She picks it up and waves it in the air. She calls the dog. "Hey, dog! Look at this! Do you want to catch this?" The dog hears her and stops. He turns around and sees the stick. He forgets about the squirrel and runs back to Lily and Max. He jumps and catches the stick in his mouth. He is happy.

+Lila and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Mom says it is time to sort the toys and put them away.
+
+"Let's sort the toys by color," Lila says. "Red toys go in this box, blue toys go in that box, and so on."
+
+"OK," Ben says. He picks up a red car and puts it in the red box. He picks up a blue ball and puts it in the blue box. He picks up a yellow duck and puts it in the yellow box.
+
+But then he sees a green frog. He likes the green frog. He wants to keep playing with it. He does not want to put it in the green box.
+
+"Ben, put the green frog in the green box," Lila says. "We have to sort all the toys."
+

+
+"Ben, you have to sort the frog with the other green toys," Mom says. "You can play with it later, after we clean up."
+
+"But I like the frog," Ben says. "It is wet and soft and makes a funny sound."
+
+Mom smiles. She understands why Ben likes the frog. She has an idea.
+
+"How about this?" Mom says. "You can sort the frog with the other green toys, but you can also give it a special place to stay. You can put it in a bowl with some water and some rocks. That way, the frog will be happy and wet, and you can see it and hear it."
+
+Ben thinks about it. He likes the idea. He nods his head.
+
+"OK, I will sort the frog," Ben says. "But I want to give it a name."
+
+"Sure, you can give it a name," Mom says. "What do you want to call it?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at the frog. He has a name.
+
+"I will call it Splash," Ben says.
+
+"Splash is a good name for a frog," Mom says. "Come on, let's sort the toys and make a home for Splash."
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They sort the toys by color and put them in the boxes. They find a bowl and fill it with water and rocks. They put Splash in the bowl and put it on the table.

+
+"Yes, Splash is happy," Lila says. She sees the frog jump.
+
+"And you are happy too," Mom says. She hugs Lila and Ben. "You did a good job sorting the toys and taking care of Splash. I am proud of you."

+

+"There, there, it will be okay," the lady says. "You are very brave. But next time, do not grab a bird. They do not like it. They can hurt you."
+
+Mia nods. She says sorry to Tom.
+
+"It's okay, Mia," Tom says. "I forgive you. But please listen to me next time. I do not want you to get hurt."
+
+Mia smiles. She hugs Tom. They say thank you to the lady.
+
+The lady smiles. She says goodbye to them. She tells them to be careful.
+
+Tom and Mia go back to playing. They do not grab any more birds. They have fun.
+Tim and Mia like to play with cones and sacks. They have many cones of different colors and sizes. They also have big sacks that they can fill with cones or other things. Sometimes they make towers with cones, or hide in sacks, or toss cones into sacks.
+
+One day, they decide to play a new game. They each take a sack and try to find as many cones as they can in the yard. They run around, looking for cones under trees, behind rocks, and in the sandbox. They put the cones they find in their sacks. They want to see who can fill their sack first.
+
+But they are not careful. They leave a messy trail of cones behind them. They do not see that their dog, Rex, is following them. Rex likes to play with cones too. He thinks they are toys. He picks up the cones that Tim and Mia drop and chews on them. He makes them even more messy.
+
+When Tim and Mia finish their game, they go back to the porch. They want to count their cones and see who has more. But they are surprised. Their sacks are not full of cones. They are full of holes and bits of cones. Rex has ruined their game. He has made a big mess.
+
+Tim and Mia are sad and angry. They scold Rex and tell him to go away. Rex does not understand. He thinks they are playing with him. He wags his tail and barks. He wants more cones. Tim and Mia shake their heads. They do not want to play with Rex. They want to play with cones and sacks. But they have no more cones and sacks. They have to find something else to play with.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to Lily's house. Lily has a pool in her yard. It is big and blue.
+
+"Can we swim in the pool?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, but we need to wear swimsuits," Lily says. "Let's go find them in my room."
+
+They run to Lily's room. Lily has a pink swimsuit with flowers. Ben has a green swimsuit with cars. They put on their swimsuits.
+
+"Look, we match!" Lily says. "We both have swimsuits with pictures."
+
+They giggle and hug. Then they go to the pool. They splash and swim and have fun.
+
+Lily's mom comes out. She has a towel and a snack. She smiles at them.
+
+"You two look so cute in your matching swimsuits," she says. "Do you want some juice and cookies?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They get out of the pool. They dry off with the towel. They sit on the grass and eat their snack.
+
+They see an old man walking by. He has a hat and a cane. He also has a dog. The dog is old too. It has gray fur and a limp.
+
+"Hello, sir," Lily says. "What is your dog's name?"
+
+"His name is Spot," the old man says. "He is my best friend. We like to go for walks every day."
+
+"Spot is a nice name," Ben says. "He matches you. He is old and you are old."
+
+The old man laughs. He is not angry. He is kind.
+
+"That's true," he says. "We are old, but we are happy. We have each other."
+
+He pets Spot. Spot wags his tail.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They think the old man and his dog are sweet. They wave goodbye to them.
+
+They finish their snack. They thank Lily's mom. They go back to the pool. They play some more.
+
+They are happy too. They have each other. They match.
+Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in the garden with their toys and their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It was flying very high and very fast.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, Tom, it is so big and so distant!" Lily said.
+
+They watched the bird until it disappeared behind the clouds. They wondered where it was going and what it was doing.
+
+"Maybe it is going to find a meal," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it is going to sleep in a nest," Lily said.
+
+They decided to make a nest for themselves with some leaves and sticks. They put their toys and Spot inside the nest and pretended to be birds.
+
+"Chirp, chirp, we are birds!" Tom said.
+
+"Chirp, chirp, we are happy!" Lily said.
+
+They played until their mom called them for dinner. They left their nest and ran to the house.
+
+"Did you have fun in the garden?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we saw a big bird and we made a nest!" Tom said.
+
+"That sounds wonderful, my little birds!" Mom said.
+
+She gave them a hug and a kiss and a yummy meal. They ate and talked and laughed. Then they brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas.
+
+"Time for bed, my little birds!" Mom said.
+
+She tucked them in and read them a story. They closed their eyes and dreamed of flying in the sky.
+
+"Good night, Mom, we love you!" Tom said.
+
+"Good night, Mom, we love you!" Lily said.
+
+"Good night, my little birds, I love you too!" Mom said.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who loved to play with boats. They had many toy boats of different colors and sizes. They liked to pretend they were sailors and explore the sea.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. There was a big pond in the park, where they could sail their boats. Tim and Sam were very excited. They each chose their favorite boat and ran to the pond.
+
+"Look, Sam, my boat has an anchor!" Tim said, showing his red boat with a metal hook. "It can stop and stay in one place."
+
+"That's cool, Tim, but my boat is faster!" Sam said, holding his blue boat with a propeller. "It can zoom and race."
+
+They put their boats in the water and started to play. They made boat noises and waved to each other. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big wind came and blew Tim's boat away. Tim tried to pull it back with the string, but the string broke. He watched his boat drift farther and farther from the shore.
+
+"Mom, Dad, help!" Tim cried. "My boat is gone!"
+
+Mom and Dad ran to Tim and hugged him. They tried to calm him down and comfort him.
+
+"Don't worry, Tim, we'll find your boat," Mom said. "Maybe someone will see it and bring it back."
+
+"But I love my boat, Mom," Tim said, weeping. "It has an anchor. It was a gift from Grandpa."
+
+"I know, Tim, I know," Mom said, wiping his tears. "It was a very special boat. But you still have other boats, and you still have Sam. He loves you and he will share his boats with you."
+
+Sam felt sorry for Tim. He knew how much Tim liked his boat. He walked to Tim and gave him his blue boat.
+
+"Here, Tim, you can have my boat," Sam said. "It is fast and fun. We can play together."
+
+Tim looked at Sam and smiled. He hugged him and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, Sam, you are a good brother," Tim said. "I'm sorry I lost my boat."
+
+"It's okay, Tim, it was an accident," Sam said. "Maybe we'll find it someday. But for now, let's play with this boat. It is ours."
+
+Tim and Sam played with the blue boat. They forgot about the wind and the lost boat. They were happy again. Mom and Dad watched them and smiled. They were proud of their sons.
+Anna likes to read books. She has many books with colorful pictures and words. She can read some words by herself, and Mommy helps her with the big words. Anna likes to read about animals, and flowers, and cars, and many other things.
+
+One day, Anna finds a new book on the shelf. It is a book about food. Anna likes food. She likes to eat apples, and cheese, and bread, and cookies. She opens the book and sees a colorful picture of a pepper. It is red, and green, and yellow, and orange. Anna thinks it is pretty.
+
+She reads the word "pepper" under the picture. She says it out loud. "Pepper". She likes how it sounds. She turns the page and sees another picture of a pepper. But this pepper is different. It is small, and black, and round. It looks like tiny dots. Anna reads the word under the picture. It says "pepper" too. Anna is confused. How can they be the same?
+
+She asks Mommy to help her. Mommy comes and looks at the book. She smiles and explains to Anna that there are two kinds of pepper. One is a vegetable, and one is a spice. The vegetable pepper is big and colorful, and you can eat it raw or cooked. The spice pepper is small and black, and you can sprinkle it on your food to make it tasty. But you have to be careful, because it can be hot and make you sneeze.
+
+Anna listens and nods. She understands now. She thanks Mommy and goes back to her book. She likes to learn new things. She wonders what other foods she will find in her book. She turns the page and sees a picture of a banana. She reads the word and smiles. She knows what a banana is. She likes bananas. They are sweet and yellow. She decides to read the whole book and find out more about food. She is happy. She loves to read.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms and bugs. Lily had a big shovel and Tom had a small one. They were having fun until Lily hit something hard.
+
+"Ow!" Lily said. "What is this?" She tried to pull out the thing, but it was stuck. She saw that it was brown and long and had hairs on it. "Is it a worm?" she asked Tom.
+
+Tom came closer and looked at the thing. He shook his head. "No, it is not a worm. It is a root. A root is a part of a plant that grows under the ground. It helps the plant get water and food. Some roots are good to eat, like carrots and potatoes. But some roots are not good to eat, like this one. This one belongs to the grumpy tree."
+
+Lily looked at the tree next to the hole. It was big and old and had no leaves. It had a lot of branches that looked like arms and fingers. It had a face that looked angry and sad. Lily felt scared of the tree. She dropped the shovel and ran away.
+
+"Wait, Lily!" Tom called. "Don't be afraid. The tree is not really grumpy. It is just lonely. It has no friends and no flowers. It needs some love and care. Maybe we can help it. Maybe we can make it happy."
+
+Tom picked up the shovel and the root. He put the root back in the hole and covered it with dirt. He patted the ground and said to the tree, "I'm sorry, tree. We didn't mean to hurt you. We want to be your friends. Can we play with you?"
+
+The tree did not say anything. But it seemed to realize that Tom was being nice. It moved its branches a little and made a sound that sounded like a sigh. It looked less angry and sad. It looked more curious and hopeful. Tom smiled and waved at the tree. He ran after Lily and said, "Come on, Lily. Let's go get some water and seeds. We can plant some flowers around the tree. Maybe it will like that. Maybe it will grow some leaves and smile."
+Jill and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But they also made a big mess. There were toys, books, and dust everywhere.
+
+Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told Jill and Ben to clean up their toys and dust the furniture. She said they had to do it before dinner or they would not get any dessert.
+
+Jill and Ben did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing. They thought of a plan. They found a magic wand in their toy box. They waved it at their toys and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" They hoped their toys would become so small that Mom would not see them.
+
+But something went wrong. The magic wand did not shrink their toys. It shrunk Jill and Ben! They became as small as ants. They looked around and saw their toys and dust were still big. They were scared. They did not know how to get big again.
+
+They heard Mom coming back. They tried to call her, but she did not hear them. They saw her feet walking towards them. They ran and hid under the sofa. They hoped Mom would find the magic wand and make them big again. They wished they had listened to Mom and cleaned up their mess.
+Sara and Ben like to play with paper. They cut, fold, and draw on it. They make animals, hats, and planes. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they run out of paper. They ask their mom for more. Mom says she will order some online. She shows them how to use the computer. She clicks on a picture of paper. She types in her name and address. She pays with a card. She says it is easy.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They thank their mom. They ask her when the paper will come. Mom says it will take a few days. She tells them to be patient. She says they can use other things to play with until then.
+
+Sara and Ben think of what they can use. They find some old magazines, some cardboard, and some stickers. They decide to make a collage. They tear, glue, and stick. They make a big picture of their family. They show it to their mom.
+
+Mom is proud. She says they are very creative. She says they do not need paper to have fun. She hugs them and tells them she loves them. Sara and Ben smile. They love their mom too. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many birds. They want to meet the birds.
+
+They run to the tree and look up. They see a nest on a branch. The nest has eggs in it. The eggs are blue and white. Sara and Ben think they are pretty.
+
+They hear a loud sound. It is the mama bird. She is angry. She thinks Sara and Ben want to take her eggs. She flies at them and pecks their heads. Sara and Ben are scared. They run away from the tree.
+
+They find a bench and sit down. They have bumps on their heads. They are hot and thirsty. They wish they had water.
+
+They see a man with a cart. He has ice cream. He smiles at them and gives them each a cone. Sara and Ben are happy. They lick their ice cream and forget about the angry bird. They think ice cream is better than eggs.
+Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, Tim sees a shiny thing on the ground. He picks it up and puts it in his pocket. He does not tell Sue. He thinks it is a treasure. He wants to keep it for himself.
+
+Sue sees Tim's pocket. It looks heavy. She asks him, "What is in your pocket, Tim? Can I see?"
+
+Tim says, "No, it is mine. Go away." He runs away from Sue. He does not want to share.
+
+Sue feels sad. She does not understand why Tim is mean. She follows him and says, "Please, Tim, let me see. Maybe we can play with it together."
+
+Tim says, "No, no, no!" He sits on a bench and holds his pocket. He does not look at Sue. He looks at his shiny thing.
+
+But the shiny thing is not a treasure. It is a firework. It is dangerous. It makes a loud noise and a bright light. It hurts Tim's hand and his pocket. Tim screams and cries. He drops the firework. It flies in the air and explodes.
+
+Sue is scared. She runs to Tim and tries to help him. But Tim is angry and pushes her away. He says, "Go away, Sue. You are not my friend. You made me lose my treasure."
+
+Sue is hurt and confused. She does not know what to do. She runs away from Tim and the park. She does not want to play with him anymore. She does not want to see him again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with trains. They have a big train set in Tom's room. They make the trains go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep.
+
+One day, Tom's mom says they can go to the park. There is a real train in the park. It is old and rusty, but it still works. Tom and Mia are very happy. They run to the park with Tom's mom.
+
+The train is waiting for them. It has a big engine and a long car. The engine has a lot of steam coming out of it. It looks like a cloud. Tom and Mia want to touch the steam. They think it is soft and fluffy.
+
+"Can we touch the steam, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, you can't, Tom. The steam is very hot. It will hurt you. You have to stay away from the engine. You can go inside the car and look out the window. It is safe and peaceful there." Tom's mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia listen to Tom's mom. They go inside the car and find a seat. They look out the window and see the trees and flowers. They feel happy and excited. They want the train to start moving.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The train driver is not careful. He forgets to check the engine. The engine has too much steam. The steam makes a loud noise and explodes. The explosion breaks the engine and the car. It makes fire and smoke. It hurts the train driver and the people in the car.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared and sad. They feel pain and heat. They cry and scream. They want their mom to help them. But Tom's mom is not in the car. She is outside. She is too far away. She can't hear them. She can't see them. She can't save them.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+"Can we have some ice cream, please?" they said.
+
+"Sure, kids. What flavor do you want?" the man in the truck said.
+
+"I want chocolate!" Lila said.
+
+"I want strawberry!" Ben said.
+
+The man gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. They thanked him and walked away.
+
+The ice cream was very icy and sweet. They liked the taste a lot. They licked and licked their cones.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big dog came out of nowhere and barked at them. It was very loud and scary. Lila and Ben dropped their cones and ran away.
+
+The dog ate their ice cream and wagged its tail. It was very happy.
+
+Lila and Ben were very sad. They had no ice cream left. They cried and cried.
+
+"Where did our ice cream go?" Lila said.
+
+"It vanished!" Ben said.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful of dogs and to hold their ice cream tight. They also learned to share with each other, because they had no ice cream to share.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and crash into each other. Lily had a red car made of steel. It was very strong and shiny. Ben had a blue car made of plastic. It was light and smooth.
+
+"Your car is bad," Lily said to Ben. "It is not steel. It will break easily."
+
+"No, it is not," Ben said. "It is good. It is fast and quiet. Your car is too heavy and loud."
+
+They argued for a while. They did not listen to each other. They were ignorant.
+
+Then, Mom came out. She saw them fighting. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+"Lily says my car is bad because it is not steel," Ben said.
+
+"Ben says my car is bad because it is too heavy and loud," Lily said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up both cars and looked at them.
+
+"Both cars are good," she said. "They are different, but they are good. You can have fun with both of them. You should not say bad things about each other's cars. You should share and try them both. That is what I recommend."
+
+She gave them back their cars and smiled.
+
+"Do you understand?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They said sorry to each other.
+
+"Can I try your car?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"Sure, and can I try yours?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+They swapped their cars and played together. They found out that both cars had good things and bad things. They learned something new. They were not ignorant anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. Tom had a big crane that could lift things up and down. Mia had a small car that could go very fast.
+
+"Look at my crane!" Tom said. "It can increase the height of this block. See how high it goes?"
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Mia said. "But my car can increase the speed of this ball. See how fast it rolls?"
+
+They both laughed and had fun with their toys. They were very good friends and liked to share.
+
+Soon, it was time for lunch. Mom called them from the kitchen.
+
+"Tom, Mia, come and eat! I made you some yummy sandwiches and fruit."
+
+"Yummy!" Tom and Mia said. They ran to the kitchen and washed their hands. They sat at the table and ate their lunch. They thanked Mom for the food.
+
+"Can we play with our toys again after lunch?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, you can," Mom said. "But first, you have to clean up your toys and put them away."
+
+"OK, Mom," Tom and Mia said. They finished their lunch and went back to the garden. They picked up their toys and put them in a box. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+
+The end.
+Lucy and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box. They could pretend the box was anything they wanted: a castle, a spaceship, a cave, or a boat.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Lucy and Ben, it's time for lunch. Come to the kitchen, please." The twins did not want to stop playing. They were having fun in their box boat, sailing on the sea.
+
+"Can we play a little more, mom?" Lucy asked.
+
+"Please, mom?" Ben added.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Okay, but only for five more minutes. Then you have to come and eat. I made something special for you. Promise me you will come when I call you."
+
+Lucy and Ben nodded and said, "We promise, mom."
+
+They went back to their box boat and continued their adventure. They saw fish, birds, and islands. They sang songs and told stories. They forgot about the time.
+
+Mom called them again. "Lucy and Ben, lunch is ready. Come now, or it will get cold."
+
+Lucy and Ben heard mom, but they did not want to leave their boat. They said, "Just one more minute, mom."
+
+Mom waited, but they did not come. She went to their room and saw them still playing in their box. She was not happy.
+
+"Lucy and Ben, you broke your promise. You said you would come when I called you, but you did not. That is not nice. You have to keep your promises. Now come and eat your lunch."
+
+Lucy and Ben felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong. They got out of their box and followed mom to the kitchen. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will keep our promises next time."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn to listen. Now sit down and eat your lunch. I made you something amazing. It's cauliflower cheese. It's very yummy and good for you. Try it and see."
+
+Lucy and Ben looked at their plates. They saw white and yellow things. They did not know what they were. They did not like new things. They said, "What is this, mom? We don't want it."
+
+Mom said, "This is cauliflower. It's a vegetable. It's like a flower, but you can eat it. And this is cheese. It's made from milk. It's soft and melty. They go well together. Trust me, you will like it. Just take a bite and see."
+
+Lucy and Ben were not sure, but they wanted to make mom happy. They picked up their forks and took a bite. They were surprised. It was not bad. It was actually good. It was creamy and cheesy and warm. They liked it.
+
+They said, "Wow, mom. This is amazing. We like cauliflower cheese. Thank you for making it for us."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you like it. See, sometimes trying new things can be fun. And remember, always keep your promises."
+Anna loves to dance. She is a dancer. She likes to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She learns new moves from her teacher. She wants to perform for her family and friends.
+
+One day, Anna has a big show. She is very excited. She goes to the stage with her teacher and the other dancers. They wait for the music to start. Anna sees her mom and dad in the crowd. She waves to them and smiles.
+
+But then, Anna sees a big red balloon. It is floating in the air. It looks so fun. Anna forgets about the show. She runs to the balloon. She tries to catch it. She jumps and hops and skips. She does not listen to her teacher. She does not follow the moves. She is naughty.
+
+The music stops. The show is over. The other dancers are angry. They worked hard to learn the dance. They wanted to perform well. They did not like Anna's silly tricks. They say, "Anna, you ruined the show! You were naughty! You are not a good dancer!"
+
+Anna feels sad. She did not mean to be naughty. She just wanted to play with the balloon. She says, "I'm sorry. I like to dance. I like to perform. But I also like balloons. Can we be friends?"
+
+The other dancers look at Anna. They see her big eyes and her pink dress. They remember that Anna is also a dancer. They remember that they also like to have fun. They say, "OK, Anna. We forgive you. You are still our friend. But next time, please pay attention to the show. Balloons can wait."
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a purple doll that she loved very much. Ben had a magic wand that he found in the attic. He liked to shake it and pretend to cast spells.
+
+"Look, Sara, I can make your doll fly!" Ben said, shaking his wand at the doll.
+
+"No, Ben, don't do that!" Sara said, holding her doll tightly. "She doesn't like to fly, she likes to sit with me."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He shook his wand harder and said, "Fly, fly, fly!"
+
+Suddenly, the doll flew out of Sara's arms and up to the ceiling. Sara was very sad and angry. She started to cry.
+
+"Ben, you are mean! Give me back my doll!" Sara shouted.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara, I was just having fun," Ben said, feeling sorry. "But I don't know how to make her come down."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at the doll, who was stuck on the ceiling. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their grandma, who came to visit. She saw the doll on the ceiling and smiled.
+
+"Hello, my dears, what are you up to?" she asked.
+
+"Grandma, Ben made my doll fly with his magic wand and now she won't come down," Sara said, sniffling.
+
+"Is that so?" Grandma said, looking at Ben. "Well, maybe I can help. I have some magic of my own, you know."
+
+She took out a purple scarf from her bag and wrapped it around her neck. Then, she shook it gently and said, "Come down, come down, come down."
+
+The doll slowly floated down from the ceiling and landed in Sara's arms. Sara hugged her doll and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Grandma, you are the best!" Sara said.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara, I'm glad you are happy," Grandma said. "And Ben, next time, be careful with your magic wand. Magic is fun, but it can also cause trouble."
+
+"I'm sorry, Grandma, I won't do it again," Ben said.
+
+Grandma hugged them both and said, "That's good, my dears. Now, how about some cookies and milk?"
+Lily loved to watch the birds in the garden. She liked their colors and their songs. She wished she could have a bird of her own. One day, she saw a birdcage in the garage. It was old and dusty, but it had a door and a perch. Lily thought it would be a good home for a bird.
+
+She took the birdcage and went outside. She looked for a bird to catch. She saw a blue jay on a branch. She crept closer and threw the birdcage over it. The blue jay was scared and angry. It flapped its wings and squawked loudly.
+
+"Let me go! Let me go!" the blue jay said. "I don't belong in a cage! I belong in the sky!"
+
+Lily did not understand the bird. She thought it was singing. She smiled and carried the birdcage to the house. She wanted to show her mom and dad her new pet.
+
+But mom and dad were not happy. They heard the blue jay's cries and saw Lily with the birdcage. They ran to her and took the birdcage from her hands.
+
+"Lily, what have you done?" mom asked. "This is very naughty. You can't keep a wild bird in a cage. It's not fair to the bird. It needs to be free."
+
+Lily felt sad and confused. She did not mean to be naughty. She just wanted a bird friend. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, bird. I didn't know. I just wanted to play."
+
+Mom and dad hugged Lily and wiped her tears. They explained to her that birds are not toys. They are living creatures that have their own families and homes. They told her that she could watch the birds in the garden, but not catch them or hurt them.
+
+They took the birdcage back to the garage and opened the door. The blue jay flew out and soared into the sky. It looked back and said, "Thank you, thank you. Goodbye, goodbye."
+
+Lily watched the blue jay fly away. She felt sorry for what she did, but also happy for the bird. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect the birds and their freedom. She learned that some things don't belong in a cage.
+Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her feelings. She kept her journal under her pillow, so no one could see it.
+
+One day, Lily came home from school and ran to her room. She wanted to write about the fun she had at the park. But when she lifted her pillow, her journal was not there. She looked everywhere, but she could not find it. She felt very upset.
+
+She heard a giggle from the closet. She opened the door and saw her little brother, Ben, holding her journal. He had opened it and was looking at her words and pictures.
+
+"Ben, give me my journal!" Lily shouted. "That is mine, not yours!"
+
+Ben shook his head and ran away. He was faster than Lily, and he liked to tease her. He ran to the living room, where Mom was reading a book.
+
+Lily followed him and tried to catch him. She reached out and pulled his shirt. He stumbled and dropped the journal on the floor.
+
+"Mom, Ben took my journal!" Lily cried. "He is very bad!"
+
+Mom looked at them and sighed. She picked up the journal and gave it to Lily. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know your journal is important to you. Ben, you should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice. You need to say sorry to Lily."
+
+Ben pouted and said, "Sorry, Lily."
+
+Lily hugged her journal and said, "Thank you, Mom. And thank you, Ben. But please, don't take my journal again. It is mine, and I don't like to share it."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily. I understand. But maybe you can show Ben some of your pictures sometimes. He might like to see them. And maybe you can write something nice about him in your journal. He is your brother, and he loves you."
+
+Lily thought for a moment and nodded. She said, "Okay, Mom. Maybe I can do that. But only sometimes."
+
+Mom kissed them both and said, "That's good, Lily. Now, why don't you go to your room and write in your journal? And Ben, why don't you play with your cars? And remember, be nice to each other."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mom." They went to their rooms and played. Lily wrote in her journal, and Ben played with his cars. They were happy.
+Anna and Tom were sad. They had to move to a new country with Mom and Dad. They did not want to leave their friends and their toys. They packed their bags and got in the car.
+
+"Where are we going?" Anna asked.
+
+"To a place far away," Mom said. "It will be different, but you will like it."
+
+Anna and Tom did not believe her. They looked out the window and saw the city get smaller and smaller. They saw fields and trees and cows and sheep. They saw a big plane in the sky.
+
+"Is that our plane?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, it is," Dad said. "We will fly in it soon."
+
+Anna and Tom did not like planes. They were loud and scary. They held each other's hands and closed their eyes.
+
+They got to the airport and got out of the car. They followed Mom and Dad to a big building. It was full of people and noise and bags. Anna and Tom felt lost and scared. They wanted to go back home.
+
+They got on the plane and found their seats. They buckled their belts and waited. The plane started to move. It went faster and faster. It lifted off the ground. Anna and Tom screamed.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay," Mom said. "We are just flying. It will be over soon."
+
+Anna and Tom did not think so. They looked out the window and saw the clouds and the sun. They saw the land get smaller and smaller. They saw the sea get bigger and bigger. They wondered where they were going.
+
+They flew for a long time. They ate some food and watched some shows. They tried to sleep, but they could not. They missed their home and their friends and their toys.
+
+They landed in a new country. They got off the plane and got in a new car. They drove to a new house. It was small and old and empty. There were no people and no noise and no bags.
+
+"Is this our new home?" Anna asked.
+
+"Yes, it is," Dad said. "It will be nice, you will see."
+
+Anna and Tom did not see. They looked around and saw nothing. They felt alone and sad. They wanted to go back home.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big truck with a shiny buckle on the door. Tom wanted to touch it, but Lily said no.
+
+"That is not ours. Mom said we should not touch things that are not ours." Lily said.
+
+"But it is so pretty. I just want to look." Tom said.
+
+He ran to the truck and reached for the buckle. But the buckle was hot and he burned his hand. He cried out loud and ran back to Lily and mom.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The buckle hurt me!" Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged him and checked his hand. She put some cream on it and gave him a band-aid.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. You should listen to Lily. The truck belongs to someone else and the buckle was hot from the sun. You should not touch it." Mom said.
+
+Tom felt sorry and confused. He did not mean to be bad. He just liked the buckle.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I won't touch things that are not ours again." Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed him.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and ask before you touch things. Now, let's return to our play. Do you want to go on the seesaw?" Mom said.
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He held Lily's hand and they went to the seesaw. He forgot about the buckle and had fun with his sister and mom.
+Sara was very happy. Today was her birthday. She saw a big package on the table. It had a red bow and a card with her name. She wanted to open it right away.
+
+But Mom said, "Wait, Sara. We have to go to the park first. We can play with your friends and have cake and balloons. Then you can open your package at home."
+
+Sara nodded. She liked the park. She liked her friends. She liked cake and balloons. But she also liked the package. She wondered what was inside. Maybe a doll, or a book, or a puzzle.
+
+At the park, Sara had fun. She slid on the slide, swung on the swing, and ran on the grass. She saw a clear pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to feed them. She asked Mom for some bread.
+
+Mom gave her a piece of bread. She said, "Be careful, Sara. Don't throw the bread too hard. You might scare the ducks and fish. And don't go too close to the pond. You might fall in."
+
+Sara said, "Okay, Mom." She tore the bread into small pieces. She threw them gently into the pond. She watched the ducks and fish come and eat. She smiled.
+
+But then she saw something shiny in the pond. It was a coin. She wanted to get it. She thought it was a lucky coin. She forgot what Mom said. She threw the bread harder. She went closer to the pond. She reached for the coin.
+
+Splash! Sara fell into the pond. She was wet and cold. She cried. Mom ran to her. She pulled her out of the pond. She hugged her and said, "Oh, Sara. Are you okay? You should have listened to me. You could have hurt yourself."
+
+Sara was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I saw a coin. I wanted to get it. I didn't mean to fall in."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Sara. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be more careful next time. Come on, let's go home. We'll dry you off and change your clothes. And then you can open your package."
+
+Sara nodded. She still wanted to open her package. She hoped it was something good. She hoped it was not a coin. She had enough of coins.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the woods. They made a hut with sticks and leaves. They had fun pretending to be animals and hunters. But their mom told them to be careful. She said there were wolves in the woods. She said wolves were big and bad and liked to eat children. She made them promise to come home before dark.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna saw a wolf. It was hiding behind a tree. It had gray fur and yellow eyes. It looked at them and smiled. Tom and Anna were scared. They wanted to run away. But the wolf spoke to them. It said, "Don't be afraid. I am a friendly wolf. I want to play with you. Come with me to my den. I have toys and candy there. You will like it."
+
+Tom and Anna did not trust the wolf. They remembered their mom's words. They said, "No, thank you. We have to go home. We promised our mom. She will be worried if we are late."
+
+The wolf pretended to be sad. It said, "Please, stay a little longer. I am lonely. I have no friends. I will be good to you. I will show you my den. It is very tidy and cozy. You can come back to your mom later. She will not mind. Just one more game. Please."
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry for the wolf. They thought maybe it was not so bad. They thought maybe they could play one more game. They said, "OK, we will go with you. But only for a little while. Then we have to go home. We promise."
+
+The wolf was happy. It said, "Thank you. You are very kind. Follow me. I will show you the way." It led them deeper into the woods. It did not take them to its den. It took them to a trap. It had dug a big hole and covered it with leaves. It said, "Look, here is my den. Go inside and see. It is very tidy and cozy. I will be right behind you."
+
+Tom and Anna did not see the hole. They stepped on the leaves and fell down. They screamed and cried. They were hurt and scared. They realized they had been tricked. They said, "Help, help! Wolf, let us go! You lied to us! You are not friendly! You are bad!"
+
+The wolf laughed. It said, "Too late. You are mine now. You should have listened to your mom. You should have kept your promise. Now you will be my dinner. Yum, yum." It jumped into the hole and ate them. The end.
+Lily and Ben liked to build structures with their blocks. They made towers, bridges, castles and more. They had fun stacking and balancing the blocks, and sometimes knocking them down.
+
+One day, they decided to build a big snowman with their blocks. They used white blocks for the body, black blocks for the eyes and buttons, orange blocks for the nose, and a red block for the hat. They were very proud of their snowman structure.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Lily said. "He is so big and nice!"
+
+"Yes, he is!" Ben agreed. "But we have to be careful. The sun is very hot today. It can melt our snowman."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want their snowman to melt. They moved him to a shady spot under a tree. They thought he would be safe there.
+
+But they did not see the dog that was playing nearby. The dog saw the snowman and thought it was a toy. He ran towards it and jumped on it. He bit and pulled the blocks, making them fall apart. He made a big mess with the blocks.
+
+Lily and Ben heard the noise and ran to see what happened. They saw their snowman structure destroyed and the dog wagging his tail.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Our snowman! He is gone!"
+
+"He did not melt. He was broken!" Ben said. "Bad dog! Go away!"
+
+The dog did not understand. He thought they wanted to play. He barked and licked their faces.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry at first. But then they saw the dog's happy eyes and soft fur. They decided to forgive him. They petted him and gave him a hug.
+
+"Maybe we can build another snowman later," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe we can build something else with the dog," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and picked up their blocks. They were still friends with the dog and with each other.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had some plastic plates, cups and spoons, but they wanted something more.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a knife!" Ben said, holding a shiny metal thing. "We can use it to cut the bread and cheese."
+
+Lily looked at the knife. It was big and wide and had a sharp edge. She felt scared. She remembered what Mommy had told them many times.
+
+"Ben, no! That is not a toy. That is a real knife. It can hurt you. Put it back, please." Lily said, trying to sound brave.
+
+Ben did not listen. He wanted to display his knife and show Lily how cool it was. He waved it around and made slicing noises. He did not see Mommy coming into the kitchen.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing? Drop that knife right now!" Mommy shouted, grabbing the knife from Ben's hand. She was angry and scared. She hugged Ben and Lily and checked them for cuts. "You are very lucky you did not hurt yourself or your sister. You know you are not allowed to touch knives. They are dangerous. You could have been very sorry."
+
+Ben felt bad. He did not mean to make Mommy mad or scare Lily. He said he was sorry and promised to never touch knives again. Mommy said she forgave him, but he had to go to his room for a time out. Lily said she was sorry too and gave Ben a hug. She hoped he learned his lesson. She did not like knives. She liked spoons. They were safe and fun.
+Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to read books and learn new things. She also liked to dress up and pretend to be different characters. She had many costumes and masks in her closet.
+
+One day, she wanted to dress up as a detective. She put on a hat, a coat and a magnifying glass. She also found a mask that looked like a mustache. She thought it was funny and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
+
+She went to the living room, where her brother Tom was playing with his cars. She said, "Hello, I am Detective Lily. I am here to solve a mystery. Can I ask you some questions?"
+
+Tom looked at her and laughed. He said, "You are not a detective. You are my sister. And that is not a mustache. That is a mask. You look silly."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "I am not silly. I am intelligent. And this is a game. Don't you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom saw that Lily was sad. He felt sorry. He said, "OK, OK. I will play with you. What is the mystery?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "The mystery is, who ate the last cookie from the jar?"
+
+Tom said, "Oh, that is easy. It was me. I ate the last cookie. I was hungry."
+
+Lily said, "That is not a mystery. That is a confession. You are not very intelligent. You are a cookie thief."
+
+Tom said, "Hey, that is not fair. You are a mustache thief. You stole my mask."
+
+Lily said, "I did not steal it. I borrowed it. And it is not your mask. It is mine. I found it in my closet."
+
+Tom said, "No, it is mine. I got it for my birthday. Give it back."
+
+Lily said, "No, it is mine. I like it. It is funny."
+
+Tom said, "No, it is mine. It is cool. It is serious."
+
+They started to argue and pull the mask. They did not notice that their mom came into the room. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a mask?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped and looked at their mom. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were playing a game. But we could not agree on who owns the mask."
+
+Mom said, "Well, the mask belongs to both of you. You can share it. And you can also share the cookies. I baked some more. They are in the kitchen. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom. We love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too. Now, go and wash your hands. And don't forget to take off the mask. It is time for dinner."
+
+Lily and Tom said, "OK, mom. We will. And we will also play nicely. We are both intelligent. And we are both detectives."
+
+They hugged their mom and ran to the kitchen. They left the mask on the couch. They decided to play with it again later. They had fun dressing up and solving mysteries. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some toys. They liked to splash the water and make bubbles. They laughed and had fun.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can make a big splash with this boat!" Ben said. He threw the boat into the water and it made a loud sound. Some water flew out of the tub and wet the grass.
+
+"Wow, that was a big splash, Ben!" Anna said. "But be careful, you might splash Mommy's flowers. She will be angry."
+
+Anna picked up a duck and put it in the water. She made it swim and quack. She smiled and watched the duck.
+
+But Ben was not careful. He was clumsy. He wanted to make another big splash. He grabbed a big ball and threw it into the water. But he threw it too hard. The ball bounced out of the water and hit a table. The table had a bowl of cream on it. The bowl fell and the cream spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, look what you did!" Anna said. "You spilled the cream! Mommy will be very angry. She wanted to use the cream for the cake."
+
+Ben looked at the mess. He felt bad. He did not mean to spill the cream. He was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, Mommy. I was clumsy. I did not want to spill the cream." Ben said.
+
+Anna saw that Ben was sorry. She was not mad at him. She was his sister. She loved him.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. We can clean it up. Mommy will not be angry if we say sorry and help her." Anna said.
+
+They got some towels and wiped the cream. They put the toys back in the tub. They said sorry to Mommy and helped her with the cake. Mommy was not angry. She was happy. She hugged them and gave them a slice of cake. They ate the cake and smiled. They learned to be careful and not clumsy. They had a good day.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. Sometimes they would argue and shout when they lost.
+
+One day, they decided to play hide and seek in the park. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Anna counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She searched behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. She could not find him anywhere.
+
+"Ben, where are you?" she called. "I give up, you win!"
+
+There was no answer. Anna started to feel worried. She wondered if Ben had run away or got lost. She wished she had not been so competitive and had played nicer with him.
+
+She ran to the swings, where their mom was resting on a bench. She told her mom that she could not find Ben.
+
+"Don't worry, honey," her mom said. "He's probably just hiding very well. He likes to surprise you. He'll come out soon. I promise."
+
+Anna nodded, but she was not sure. She sat next to her mom and waited. She hoped her mom was right.
+
+After a few minutes, she heard a loud "Boo!" behind her. She turned around and saw Ben smiling. He had been hiding under the bench all along.
+
+"Gotcha!" he said. "I win!"
+
+Anna was not angry. She was happy to see him. She hugged him and said, "You're very good at hiding, Ben. But you scared me. I thought you were gone."
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to have fun. Can we play again?"
+
+"Okay, but only if we play nice," Anna said. "No more arguing or shouting. Deal?"
+
+"Deal," Ben said. "And no more hiding under benches. That's too hard."
+
+They laughed and ran to the slide. They played together until it was time to go home. They had learned their lesson. They made a promise to be less competitive and more kind.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They enjoyed being outside and having fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big red truck!" Tom said, pointing to the road. "It has a loud sound and a bright light. What is it?"
+
+Lily looked and saw the truck. She knew what it was. "It is a fire truck, Tom. It helps people when there is an emergency. An emergency is when something bad happens and people need help."
+
+Tom nodded. He wanted to know more. "Why does it have a loud sound and a bright light?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered what her mom told her. "The loud sound and the bright light are to tell other cars to move away. The fire truck needs to go fast to the emergency. It is very important."
+
+Tom understood. He was curious and brave. He wanted to see the emergency. "Can we follow the fire truck, Lily? Maybe we can see the fire and the firemen."
+
+Lily shook her head. She was careful and smart. She knew they should not follow the fire truck. "No, Tom, we cannot follow the fire truck. It is too dangerous. We should stay in the park and play. The firemen will take care of the emergency. They are very good."
+
+Tom agreed. He was not too disappointed. He still had Lily and the park. He enjoyed playing with his friend. He hoped the firemen would be safe and the emergency would be over soon.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a white doll that she loved very much. Ben had a red car that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun, but they were also getting tired.
+
+"Can I play with your doll, Lily?" Ben asked. "My car is boring."
+
+"No, Ben, this is my doll. You can't have it," Lily said. She hugged her doll and turned away from Ben.
+
+"Please, Lily, just for a little bit. I'll give you my car," Ben said. He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held on tight.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! You're hurting me!" Lily cried. She pushed Ben away and ran to their mom.
+
+Mom was in the kitchen, making a snack for them. She heard Lily and Ben fighting and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What's going on, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily won't let me play with her doll. She's mean," Ben said.
+
+"Ben tried to take my doll. He's rude," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at them and sighed. She knew they were both tired and cranky, and they needed to share and be kind.
+
+"Kids, listen to me. You both have nice toys, but you can't just insist on having what the other one has. You have to ask nicely and wait for your turn. And you have to respect what the other one says. If Lily doesn't want to share her doll, you have to accept it. And if Ben wants to play with your doll, you have to consider it. Sharing and being kind are important values. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom upset and for hurting each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I shouldn't have tried to take your doll," Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I shouldn't have been so selfish with my doll," Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. Mom smiled and gave them a hug too.
+
+"Good, I'm glad you made up. Now, why don't you go and play together nicely? And then we can have some snack and rest. You both look very tired," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They took their toys and went back to the living room. They decided to play with both the doll and the car, and they had fun. They learned to share and be kind, and they felt happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They were having fun, but they were also very cold and wet.
+
+"Let's go inside the cabin and get warm," Anna said to Ben.
+
+"OK, but first we have to say goodbye to the snowman," Ben said.
+
+They hugged the snowman and said, "Bye, snowman. See you tomorrow."
+
+They ran to the cabin and opened the door. They saw their mom and dad sitting by the fire. They smelled something spicy in the air.
+
+"Hi, kids. You look frozen. Come here and dry yourselves with these towels," mom said.
+
+"Thanks, mom. What are you cooking?" Anna asked.
+
+"I'm making chili. It's spicy and hot. Do you want some?" dad asked.
+
+"Yes, please. We are hungry," Ben said.
+
+They took off their coats and boots and sat at the table. Mom gave them each a bowl of chili and some bread. They blew on the chili and tasted it.
+
+"Mmm, this is good. It makes me feel warm inside," Anna said.
+
+"Me too. But it's also very spicy. It makes my tongue tingle," Ben said.
+
+They ate their chili and bread and drank some water. They felt cozy and happy in the cabin. They thanked their mom and dad for the food and the fire. They decided to read a book and play a game before bedtime. They loved the cabin and the snow. They hoped to have more fun tomorrow.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big building. It has many windows and doors. They want to go inside and look.
+
+They run to the building. They see a door that is open. They go in. It is dark and cold. They see many things on the floor. Some are hard and some are soft. They touch them and pick them up.
+
+Tom finds a bottle. It has a picture of a lemon on it. He thinks it is juice. He opens it and drinks. He makes a face. It is sour. He does not like it. He spits it out.
+
+Jen finds a rope. It is long and thin. She thinks it is fun. She swings it and wraps it around her. She laughs.
+
+Tom wants to play with the rope too. He runs to Jen. He does not see a hole in the floor. He steps on it and slips. He falls down. He hurts his leg. He cries.
+
+Jen hears Tom cry. She drops the rope and runs to him. She sees his leg is red and wet. She is scared. She hugs him and says sorry.
+
+They hear a loud noise. It is a man. He is angry. He says they are not allowed in the building. He tells them to go away. He grabs them and pushes them out.
+
+Tom and Jen run away. They are sad and scared. They go to their homes. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms are mad and worried. They clean their leg and give them a hug. They say they love them and they should not go to the building again. They say it is dangerous and dirty.
+
+Tom and Jen say sorry. They say they will not go to the building again. They say they love their moms too. They learn a lesson. They are happy to be safe and warm. They are still friends. They play with other things. They do not touch sour bottles or ropes. They do not slip or fall. They have fun.
+Tom and Lily were pirates. They had a big boat with a flag and a wheel. They liked to sail on the water and look for treasure. Treasure was shiny and pretty and made them happy.
+
+One day, they saw a map in a bottle. The map showed them where to find a big treasure. It was under the water, in a deep hole. Tom and Lily were excited. They wanted to get the treasure.
+
+They put on their masks and their fins and jumped into the water. They swam fast and speed to the hole. They saw many fish and plants and rocks. They also saw a big shark. The shark was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat them.
+
+"Look out, Tom!" Lily shouted. "The shark is coming!"
+
+Tom saw the shark and was scared. He grabbed Lily's hand and swam away. They tried to find their boat, but they were lost. The water was dark and deep.
+
+"Where is our boat, Lily?" Tom asked. "Where is the treasure?"
+
+"I don't know, Tom," Lily said. "But we have each other. That is the best treasure."
+
+They hugged and hoped that someone would find them. They prayed that the shark would not find them. They wished they were back on their boat. They learned that being pirates was not easy.
+On Tuesday, Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then the sky became dark and the wind became strong. Mom said, "We have to go home, kids. It is going to rain soon." Lily and Ben did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, Mom. Please, can we stay a little longer?"
+
+Mom said, "Sorry, kids. We have to go home now. The weather is changing and it is not safe to stay here. We can come back another day when it is sunny and warm." She took their hands and walked to the car.
+
+On the way home, they heard thunder and saw lightning. They saw raindrops falling on the windows. Lily and Ben were scared. They hugged Mom and said, "Mom, we are sorry we did not listen to you. You were right. The weather changed and it is bad."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, kids. I know you love the park. But sometimes we have to change our plans and do what is best. The rain will not last forever. Tomorrow will be a new day and maybe we can do something else that is fun." She kissed them and said, "I love you, kids. You are my sunshine."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play at the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to wear their jackets with zippers. They thought zippers were fun and cool.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a new boy there. He was wearing a jacket with buttons. He looked at Lily and Ben and said, "Your jackets are silly. Zippers are for babies. Buttons are better."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like the new boy. They said, "No, zippers are not for babies. Zippers are perfect. They are easy and fast. Buttons are hard and slow. You are silly."
+
+The new boy did not like what Lily and Ben said. He said, "No, you are silly. Buttons are perfect. They are pretty and neat. Zippers are ugly and noisy. You are babies."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to talk to the new boy anymore. They ran away from him. They found a nice spot under a tree. They hugged each other and said, "We are not babies. We are best friends. We like zippers. Zippers are perfect for us."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with toys and pretend they were in space. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make it into a rocket.
+
+They used crayons and stickers to draw windows and stars on the box. They cut out a door and a flap for the engine. They put pillows and blankets inside to make it cozy. They were very proud of their rocket.
+
+"Are you ready to blast off?" Ben asked Mia.
+
+"Yes, I am!" Mia said. "Let's seat in the rocket and count down."
+
+They crawled into the box and closed the door. They pretended to push buttons and pull levers. They counted down from ten to zero. Then they shouted, "Lift off!"
+
+They made loud noises with their mouths to sound like a rocket. They imagined they were flying to the moon and seeing aliens. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice. It was Ben's dad. He was angry.
+
+"What are you doing in there?" he yelled. "You made a mess of the garage! You ruined the box! It was for something important!"
+
+He opened the door and pulled them out of the rocket. He scolded them and told them to clean up. He threw the box in the trash.
+
+Ben and Mia felt ashamed. They did not mean to make trouble. They just wanted to play. They said they were sorry and helped to tidy up. They hoped Ben's dad would forgive them. They wished they still had their rocket.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were farmers and had many animals. Sara had a cow, a pig and a hen. Tom had a horse, a sheep and a duck. They took good care of their animals and gave them food and water.
+
+One day, Sara said to Tom, "I want to make a pie for our animals. They work hard and deserve a treat. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I do. What kind of pie do you want to make?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment and said, "I want to make a carrot pie. Carrots are good for you and tasty. I have some carrots in my basket. Do you have any flour and butter?"
+
+Tom said, "I have some flour and butter in my barn. Let's go and get them."
+
+They went to the barn and found the flour and butter. They also found a bowl, a spoon and a rolling pin. They mixed the flour and butter with some water and made a dough. They rolled the dough and put it in a pie dish. They peeled and chopped the carrots and put them on top of the dough. They covered the pie with another layer of dough and made some holes with a fork.
+
+They put the pie in the oven and waited for it to bake. They smelled the pie and it smelled good. They took the pie out of the oven and let it cool down. They cut the pie into pieces and put them on plates.
+
+They took the plates to the garden and called their animals. The animals came running and saw the pie. They were happy and hungry. They ate the pie and made happy noises. Sara and Tom smiled and watched their animals. They felt proud and happy.
+
+They said to their animals, "We made this pie for you. We love you and thank you for being our friends. You are adorable and smart."
+
+The animals licked their faces and thanked them. They cuddled and played with Sara and Tom. They had a wonderful day.
+Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and run on the grass. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a long thing on it. It looks like a big stick, but it is not a stick. It is a missile.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it is a toy."
+
+They go closer to the truck. They see a man in the truck. He is wearing a green suit and a hat. He has a furry beard. He looks angry.
+
+"Hey, kids, get away from there!" he shouts. "This is not a toy. This is a missile. I am going to launch it soon."
+
+"Launch it? Where?" Ben asks.
+
+"None of your business," the man says. "Now go away, or I will call the police."
+
+Ben and Mia are scared. They run away from the truck. They find a policeman in the park. They tell him about the man and the missile.
+
+"Thank you, kids, you did the right thing," the policeman says. "That man is a bad man. He wants to hurt people with the missile. But we will stop him. Come with me, I will take you to a safe place."
+
+The policeman takes Ben and Mia to his car. He gives them some candy and a teddy bear. He tells them they are brave and smart. He calls for backup. Soon, more policemen come to the park. They surround the truck. They arrest the man. They take the missile away.
+
+Ben and Mia are happy. They hug the policeman. They hug each other. They go back to the swings. They swing high and low. They have fun. They are safe.
+Tim and Jen like to play in their yard. They have a ball, a bike, and a slide. They have fun every day. But they do not like their neighbor, Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee is large and loud. He always yells at them to be quiet. He does not like children.
+
+One day, Tim and Jen are playing with their ball. They throw it to each other. They laugh and shout. The ball goes high in the air. It lands in Mr. Lee's yard. Tim and Jen are scared. They do not want to go get it. They do not want to see Mr. Lee.
+
+They hear Mr. Lee's door open. They hide behind the slide. They see Mr. Lee come out. He sees the ball. He picks it up. He looks around. He does not see Tim and Jen. He smiles. He says, "I guess this is mine now. I like this ball. It is red and round. I will keep it."
+
+Tim and Jen are angry and sad. They want their ball back. They do not think it is fair. They think Mr. Lee is mean. They decide to do something. They wait until Mr. Lee goes back inside. They sneak into his yard. They look for their ball. They see it on his porch. They run and grab it. They run back to their yard. They are happy. They have their ball again.
+
+They hear Mr. Lee's door open again. They hear him yell, "Hey, where is my ball? Who took my ball? I will find you. I will make you sorry." Tim and Jen are scared again. They hide behind the slide. They hope Mr. Lee does not see them. They hope he does not come to their yard. They hope he leaves them alone. They hug their ball. They whisper, "It is our ball, not his. He cannot have it. He cannot guess it. He cannot yell at us. We are not sorry. We are brave."
+Lily likes to sign. She signs hello, thank you, and I love you. She signs to her mom, her dad, and her cat. She signs to her friends at school. She signs because she cannot hear.
+
+One day, Lily sees a fire. The fire is big and red and scary. It is in a house near her school. Lily hears a loud noise. She sees a man in a yellow suit. He has a big hose. He is a firefighter. He is trying to stop the fire.
+
+Lily sees something else. She sees a dog. The dog is in the house. The dog is scared and sad. He cannot get out. Lily wants to help the dog. She signs to the firefighter. She points to the house. She points to the dog.
+
+The firefighter sees Lily. He sees her sign. He understands. He nods to Lily. He runs to the house. He breaks the door. He finds the dog. He carries the dog out. He gives the dog to Lily. Lily hugs the dog. She signs thank you to the firefighter.
+
+The firefighter smiles. He signs you're welcome to Lily. He signs you are a hero. Lily smiles. She signs you are a hero too. The firefighter and Lily are heroes. They are friends. They are unknown to the fire. The fire cannot hurt them.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Sara wants to swing on it. She runs to the swing and sits on it.
+
+"Push me, Ben!" Sara says. "Push me high!"
+
+Ben pushes Sara on the swing. Sara is happy. She feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "This is fun!"
+
+Ben wants to swing too. He waits for Sara to stop. But Sara does not stop. She swings and swings and swings. She does not see Ben. She does not hear Ben.
+
+"Can I swing now, Sara?" Ben asks. "Please?"
+
+Sara does not answer. She swings and swings and swings.
+
+Ben is sad. He thinks Sara is not nice. He thinks Sara is selfish. He walks away from the swing. He looks for another game.
+
+Sara swings and swings and swings. She thinks she is having fun. But after a while, she feels lonely. She looks for Ben. She does not see Ben. She does not hear Ben.
+
+"Where is Ben?" Sara asks. "Ben, where are you?"
+
+Sara stops swinging. She gets off the swing. She looks for Ben. She sees him playing with a ball. He is smiling. He is having fun.
+
+"Ben, can I play with you?" Sara asks. "Please?"
+
+Ben looks at Sara. He is not sure. He remembers how Sara did not share the swing. He remembers how Sara made him sad.
+
+"Why do you want to play with me?" Ben asks. "You did not let me swing. You did not care about me."
+
+Sara feels sorry. She knows she was wrong. She knows she was not nice. She knows she was selfish.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben," Sara says. "I was not nice. I was selfish. I did not share the swing. I did not care about you. I have an idea. Can we be friends again? Can we play together? Can we take turns on the swing?"
+
+Ben thinks about Sara's idea. He thinks it is a good idea. He thinks it is a nice idea. He thinks Sara is sorry. He thinks Sara wants to be nice. He thinks Sara wants to be friends.
+
+"Okay, Sara," Ben says. "I forgive you. We can be friends again. We can play together. We can take turns on the swing. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me to share. You have to promise me to care."
+
+Sara smiles. She is happy. She hugs Ben. She says, "I promise, Ben. I promise to share. I promise to care. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+Sara and Ben go back to the swing. They take turns on it. They push each other. They laugh and have fun. They learn to share. They learn to care. They are nice friends.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. They had many blocks in a sack. They took out the blocks and put them on the floor.
+
+Anna and Ben worked hard. They put one block on top of another. The tower grew taller and taller. They were happy.
+
+But then, Ben saw a shiny car. He wanted to play with the car. He was impatient. He did not want to complete the tower. He left the blocks and ran to the car.
+
+Anna was sad. She wanted to complete the tower. She looked at the sack. There were still some blocks left. She decided to finish the tower by herself.
+
+She took out the last blocks and put them on the tower. She was careful. She did not want the tower to fall. She was proud. She had completed the tower. She smiled. She called Ben.
+
+"Ben, come and see! I completed the tower!"
+
+Ben heard Anna. He left the car and ran to the tower. He saw the tower. It was very big. He was amazed. He said sorry to Anna.
+
+"Anna, I'm sorry. I was impatient. You did a great job. The tower is awesome!"
+
+Anna and Ben hugged. They were friends. They played with the tower and the car. They had fun.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny crystal in their backyard. It was round and sparkly and made pretty colors when they held it up to the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "It's so pretty! Can I have it?"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first! You can have something else!"
+
+Anna and Ben started to argue and complain. They both wanted the crystal and did not want to share. They pulled and tugged at the crystal, trying to take it from each other.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She came out of the house and saw them fighting. "What are you doing? Why are you being so mean to each other?"
+
+They both looked at their mom and tried to explain. But they both talked at the same time and did not listen to each other.
+
+"Mom, he's being greedy! He won't let me have the crystal!" Anna said.
+
+"Mom, she's being bossy! She wants to take the crystal from me!" Ben said.
+
+Their mom shook her head and sighed. She took the crystal from their hands and held it up.
+
+"Look at this, children," she said. "This is a beautiful crystal. It's a gift from nature. It's not something to fight over. It's something to enjoy and appreciate together. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for being rude to each other. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"Can we play with the crystal together, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course, you can," their mom said. "But you have to be careful. It's fragile and can break easily. And you have to take turns and share nicely. OK?"
+
+"OK, mom," Ben said.
+
+Their mom gave them the crystal and smiled. She watched them play with it happily. They held it up to the sun and made rainbows. They rolled it on the grass and made it spin. They pretended it was a magic ball and made wishes.
+
+They had fun with the crystal and with each other. They did not complain anymore. They learned to share and be kind. And they thanked their mom for teaching them a lesson.
+Anna likes to fly kites with her dad. They go to the park and find a big space with no trees. Dad helps Anna to hold the kite and run. The kite goes up and up in the sky. Anna feels happy and excited.
+
+"Look, Dad, the kite is flying so high!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is, Anna. You are doing a great job!" Dad says.
+
+But then, a strong wind blows. The kite moves very fast and gets tangled with a letter. The letter is hanging from a balloon. The balloon is red and shiny. Anna does not know who sent the letter or where it is going.
+
+"Oh no, Dad, the kite is stuck!" Anna says.
+
+"Don't worry, Anna, we will get it back. Let me try to pull the string." Dad says.
+
+Dad pulls the string hard, but the kite and the letter do not come down. They fly away with the balloon. Anna feels sad and angry. She wants her kite back.
+
+"Bye bye, kite. Bye bye, letter. I don't like you!" Anna shouts.
+
+Dad hugs Anna and tries to cheer her up.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. Sometimes things happen that we can't control. Maybe the letter is for someone who needs it. Maybe the kite will find a new friend. Maybe we can make or buy another kite. Do you want to do that?" Dad says.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She is still sad, but she loves her dad. She nods and smiles a little.
+
+"OK, Dad. I want to make a new kite. Can we make it pink and purple?" Anna says.
+
+"Sure, Anna. We can make it any color you want. Let's go home and find some paper and sticks and glue. And maybe we can write a letter to the kite and the letter and the balloon. Maybe they will write back to us someday." Dad says.
+
+Anna likes that idea. She holds Dad's hand and walks with him. She is not frightened anymore. She is curious and hopeful. She wonders what the kite and the letter and the balloon are doing. She hopes they are having fun. She hopes they are not lonely. She hopes they are safe.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. You have to move the pieces and try to catch the king.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam play chess in the park. Tom has the white pieces and Sam has the black pieces. Tom is very good at chess. He moves his pieces fast and smart. Sam is not so good at chess. He moves his pieces slow and silly.
+
+"Check!" Tom says. He puts his queen next to Sam's king. Sam looks sad. He has no place to move his king. He knows he will lose the game.
+
+"Please, Tom, let me have one more move," Sam begs. "Maybe I can find a way to save my king."
+
+"No, Sam, you have to follow the rules," Tom says. "You have to give up your king and say I win. That is how you play chess."
+
+Sam feels angry. He does not like to lose. He does not like Tom's voice. He does not like chess. He picks up his king and throws it at Tom. The king hits Tom in the eye. Tom cries out loud. He drops his pieces and holds his eye. His eye turns blue and hurts a lot.
+
+Sam runs away. He does not say sorry. He does not care. He thinks he wins. But he does not win. He loses his friend. And he loses his chess.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big box in the corner. They open the box and see a telephone inside. The telephone is old and deep. It has a long cord and a round dial.
+
+Sara and Ben are curious. They pick up the telephone and pretend to talk to each other. They say hello and goodbye and make funny noises. They laugh and have fun. They feel like grown-ups.
+
+Then, they hear their mom call them from the kitchen. She says it is time for lunch. Sara and Ben put down the telephone and run to the kitchen. They are hungry and want to eat.
+
+Mom sees them and smiles. She says, "Do you know what that telephone is? It was your grandma's telephone. She gave it to me when I was little. I used to talk to her a lot on that telephone. I remember her voice and her stories. She was very kind and loving."
+
+Sara and Ben listen to mom. They feel warm and happy. They want to know more about grandma. They ask mom to tell them some stories. Mom nods and hugs them. She says, "Of course, I will. But first, let's have some lunch. Then, we can call grandma on our new telephone and say hello. She will be very happy to hear from you."
+Tim and his dog Rex loved to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, and chase each other. Rex was a loyal dog. He always followed Tim and listened to him.
+
+One day, Tim saw a big red car in the park. It was a toy car, but it looked very real. It had four wheels, a horn, and a remote control. Tim wanted to try it. He asked the boy who owned it if he could have a turn. The boy said yes, but only for a little while.
+
+Tim took the remote control and made the car zoom around the park. He was having so much fun. He forgot about Rex. Rex was sad. He wanted to play with Tim, but Tim was too busy with the car. Rex barked and wagged his tail, but Tim did not notice.
+
+Then, Tim saw a lake in the park. It was a small lake, but it looked very blue and shiny. Tim wondered if the car could zoom on the water. He drove the car towards the lake. He did not see the rocks and the mud. The car got stuck and started to sink.
+
+Tim was scared. He did not know how to get the car out. He did not want to lose the car or make the boy angry. He looked around for help. He saw Rex. Rex was still there, waiting for him.
+
+Rex saw the car in the lake. He knew Tim was in trouble. He did not hesitate. He ran into the water and grabbed the car with his teeth. He pulled the car out and brought it to Tim. Tim was so happy and relieved. He hugged Rex and thanked him.
+
+The boy came over and saw what happened. He was not angry. He was impressed by Rex. He said Rex was a brave and loyal dog. He said Tim was lucky to have him. He said Tim could play with the car again, but only if he shared it with Rex.
+
+Tim learned a lesson that day. He learned that toys are fun, but friends are more important. He learned that Rex was his best friend, and he should not ignore him. He learned that Rex would always help him, no matter what. He decided to be more loyal to Rex, too. He and Rex zoomed around the park together, happy and free.
+Lily and Sam were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and find shells and stones. They saw a big boat on the water. It had a big rope and a big metal thing at the end.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is an anchor," Sam said. "It helps the boat stay in one place."
+
+Lily wanted to see the anchor. She ran to the water and tried to pull the rope. But it was too hard. She could not move it.
+
+"Help me, Sam!" she called.
+
+Sam ran to help her. He pulled the rope with her. But it was still too hard. They could not move it.
+
+"Let's shake it!" Sam said. "Maybe it will come loose."
+
+They shook the rope together. They shook it hard. They shook it fast. They shook it slow. They shook it up and down. They shook it left and right.
+
+But nothing happened. The anchor did not move. The boat did not move. The rope did not move.
+
+They were tired. They stopped shaking. They sat on the sand.
+
+"Shaking is not easy," Lily said.
+
+"No, it is not," Sam said. "But it is fun."
+
+They laughed. They hugged. They went back to digging in the sand. They forgot about the anchor. They were happy.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it. They take turns to slide down and laugh.
+
+But then, Tim sees a shiny bike near a bench. He wants to ride it. He forgets his mom and Sam. He runs to the bike and gets on it. He pedals fast and goes away from the park.
+
+Sam sees Tim leave. He is sad and scared. He calls for Tim, but Tim does not hear him. He looks for his mom, but he does not see her. He is lost. He cries.
+
+Tim rides the bike for a long time. He does not know where he is. He sees many cars and people. He is tired and hungry. He wants to go back to the park. He tries to find the way, but he does not remember. He is lost. He cries.
+
+The moms look for Tim and Sam. They are worried and angry. They ask other people and look everywhere. They do not find them. They call the police. They hope they are safe.
+
+Tim and Sam are not safe. They are in a bad place. They meet bad people who take the bike and hurt them. They are not patient. They are mean. They do not help them. They make them do bad things.
+
+Tim and Sam are sorry. They wish they did not forget their moms and their friend. They wish they did not take the bike. They wish they could go back to the park. But they cannot. They are stuck. They are sad.
+Lily and Ben wanted to decorate their room. They had many stickers and crayons and papers. They liked to make pictures and put them on the wall. They also liked to draw on the wall with crayons.
+
+One day, they decided to decorate the whole house. They went to the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom and the hall. They stuck stickers everywhere and drew with crayons on the furniture, the floor and the door. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But their mom and dad did not like their decoration. When they came home, they saw the mess and got very angry. They said, "What have you done? This is crazy! You have to clean this up right now!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We just wanted to decorate the house. We thought you would like it."
+
+Mom and dad said, "We love you, but you can't decorate the house like this. This is not how you use stickers and crayons. You have to ask us first. And you have to be careful with your things. Do you know who has to clean this up? The police!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They said, "The police? Why the police?"
+
+Mom and dad said, "We are joking. The police don't clean up messes. But they do help people who need help. And we need help to clean up this mess. So we are going to call the police and ask them to come and help us. Do you want to help us too?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, we want to help. We don't want the police to come. We don't want to make more trouble. We want to make you happy."
+
+Mom and dad said, "That's good. We are happy that you want to help. But next time, please don't decorate the house like this. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "OK, mom and dad. We are sorry. We love you."
+
+Mom and dad said, "We love you too. Now let's start cleaning."
+Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. But they also made a big mess. Flour, eggs, milk and sugar were everywhere.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a cake!" Tom said, holding up a bowl of gooey batter.
+
+"That's not a cake, Tom, that's a mess!" Mia said, laughing. "You need to bake it in the oven."
+
+Tom frowned. He did not like the oven. It was hot and scary. He had a better idea. He ran to the freezer and opened the door.
+
+"I will put it in the freezer!" he said. "Then it will be cold and yummy!"
+
+He tried to put the bowl in the freezer, but it was too big. It did not fit. He pushed harder, but the bowl tipped over and spilled the batter all over the freezer and the floor.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Tom said.
+
+Mia gasped. She saw the mess and ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw the mess too. She was not happy.
+
+"Tom, Mia, what have you done?" she asked. "This is a disaster! You need to clean this up right now!"
+
+Tom and Mia looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They did not want to clean the mess. They wanted to play.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we play some more?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, you can't!" Mom said. "You have to surrender your toys and help me with the mess. Then you can play again."
+
+Tom and Mia did not like to surrender their toys. They liked to play with them. But they also did not like to make Mom angry. They nodded and gave Mom their toys. Then they took some towels and started to wipe the mess.
+
+They learned their lesson. Next time, they would not play in the kitchen. They would play in the living room. It was less messy. And they would not put anything in the freezer. It was not for cakes. It was for ice cream.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a dog named Rex. Rex is big and brown. He likes to run and bark.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam see a flea on Rex. The flea is small and black. It jumps and bites. Rex scratches and whines.
+
+"Look, a flea!" Tom says. "Poor Rex!"
+
+"Let's get rid of it!" Sam says. "We need a spray."
+
+They run to the shop. They buy a spray. They go back to the park. They find Rex. He is still scratching and whining.
+
+"Stay still, Rex!" Tom says. "We will help you."
+
+They spray Rex with the spray. The spray is cold and wet. Rex shivers and shakes.
+
+"Freeze, flea!" Sam says. "You can't jump or bite now!"
+
+The flea stops moving. It falls off Rex. Rex stops scratching and whining. He wags his tail and licks Tom and Sam.
+
+"Good boy, Rex!" Tom says. "You are free of the flea!"
+
+"Good job, Tom and Sam!" Sam says. "You are brave and smart!"
+
+They hug Rex. They play in the park. They are happy. The end.
+Lily liked to read novels. Novels were books with many words and stories. She had a big novel with a picture of a dragon on the cover. She wanted to know what happened to the dragon and the people in the novel.
+
+One day, she was reading her novel on the sofa. She was very quiet and did not look up. Her brother Max came into the room. He saw Lily reading and wanted to play with her. He said, "Lily, Lily, come and play with me. I have a new toy car. It is very fast and shiny. You will like it."
+
+Lily did not answer. She was too busy reading. Max tried again. He said, "Lily, Lily, please come and play with me. I am bored and lonely. You are my sister and I love you. You can read your novel later."
+
+Lily still did not answer. She turned the page and read more. Max was angry and sad. He said, "Lily, Lily, you are not nice. You do not care about me. You only care about your novel. You are a bad sister." He grabbed the novel from Lily's hands and threw it on the floor.
+
+Lily was shocked and angry. She said, "Max, Max, you are not nice. You do not care about me. You only care about your toy car. You are a bad brother." She jumped off the sofa and ran to get her novel. She saw that the novel was enormous. It was bigger than her. It had grown when Max threw it. It had many more pages and words and stories. It was a magic novel.
+
+Lily was scared and curious. She said, "Max, Max, look at my novel. It is enormous. It is magic. I wonder what happened to the dragon and the people in the novel. Maybe they are alive and real. Maybe they can talk to us. Maybe they can play with us."
+
+Max was scared and curious too. He said, "Lily, Lily, I am sorry. I did not mean to throw your novel. I did not know it was magic. I wonder what happened to your novel too. Maybe we can find out. Maybe we can read it together. Maybe we can be friends with the dragon and the people in the novel."
+
+Lily and Max hugged and said sorry to each other. They picked up the enormous novel and opened it. They saw that the words and pictures were moving and talking. They heard the dragon roar and the people laugh. They said, "Wow, this is amazing. This is the best novel ever. Let's read it and see what happens next."
+
+They sat on the sofa and read the novel. They paused sometimes to talk and ask questions. They had fun and learned new things. They forgot about their toy car and their fight. They were happy and friendly. They were good siblings.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They saw a big structure made of ice. It had a door and windows. Lily wanted to enter the structure and see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in, Sam!" Lily said. "It looks fun!"
+
+Sam was scared. He thought the structure might break or be cold. He did not want to enter the structure.
+
+"No, Lily, it is too icy!" Sam said. "We might get hurt or freeze!"
+
+Lily did not listen to Sam. She ran to the door and opened it. She entered the structure. Sam followed her, but he was not happy.
+
+Inside the structure, there were more ice walls and ice furniture. Lily saw an ice bed and an ice table. She touched them and smiled.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Lily said. "Someone made this for us!"
+
+Sam saw an ice fireplace and an ice lamp. He touched them and shivered.
+
+"Brrr, this is cold!" Sam said. "Someone made this to trick us!"
+
+Lily and Sam heard a loud noise. They looked at the door and saw a big bear. The bear was angry. He wanted to enter the structure and sleep. He saw Lily and Sam and roared.
+
+"Roar! This is my structure!" the bear said. "Go away, or I will eat you!"
+
+Lily and Sam were very scared. They ran to the door and tried to open it. But the door was stuck. The ice had frozen it. They could not enter or exit the structure. They were trapped with the bear.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Sam cried. "We want to go home!"
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They have a yellow ball that they can throw and catch. They have a cross puzzle that they can make with shapes. They have a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, their mom says they can go to the park. They are very happy. They put on their coats and shoes and hold mom's hand. They walk to the park and see the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They want to try everything.
+
+Lily and Ben spend a long time at the park. They swing high and low. They slide fast and slow. They make a big castle in the sandbox. They share their yellow ball with some other kids. They laugh and run and jump.
+
+But then, they see a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and gray. It starts to rain. Mom says they have to go home. Lily and Ben are sad. They want to stay at the park. They cry and pout.
+
+Mom hugs them and says they can come back another day. She says they can play with their cross puzzle at home. She says they can have some cookies and milk. Lily and Ben feel a little better. They say goodbye to the park and the other kids. They hold mom's hand and walk home. They still have their yellow ball. They are still twins. They still have fun together.
+Tom and Lily were playing on the farm. They liked to run and jump and hide in the hay. The hay was soft and yellow and smelled good. They made a big pile of hay and pretended it was a castle.
+
+"Look, I am the king of the hay castle!" Tom shouted. He wore a crown made of straw and held a stick as a sword.
+
+"And I am the queen of the hay castle!" Lily shouted. She wore a necklace made of flowers and held a fan made of leaves.
+
+They laughed and had fun. But then they heard a loud noise. It was the farmer. He was angry. He saw the mess they made with the hay.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my hay?" he shouted. "You are ruining it! Get out of there right now!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the farmer was angry. They thought he was nice. They quickly got out of the hay and ran to their mom.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we were just playing," Tom said.
+
+"We did not mean to make you angry," Lily said.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said sorry to the farmer. She said they would help him fix the hay. The farmer calmed down and said it was okay. He said they could play on the farm, but not with the hay. He said the hay was for the cows and the horses.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said they understood. They said they would play with something else. They thanked the farmer and said goodbye. They learned not to shout and play with the hay. They learned to be careful and respectful on the farm.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them.
+
+"Help!" Lila says. "The dog is scary!"
+
+Tom is smart. He sees a guard near the gate. The guard has a whistle and a stick. Tom grabs Lila's hand and says, "Hurry! Follow me!"
+
+They run to the guard. The guard sees the dog and blows his whistle. The dog stops and runs away. The guard smiles and says, "Are you OK, kids?"
+
+"Yes, thank you, guard!" Lila and Tom say. "You are brave and kind!"
+
+The guard pats their heads and says, "You are smart and fast! You did the right thing. Always stay away from strange dogs. Now, go and have fun!"
+
+Lila and Tom hug the guard and go back to the park. They play with their ball and their dolls. They are happy and safe. They are glad they have a friend like the guard.
+Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a slide and a swing. Their mom and dad were wealthy, so they had many toys and clothes. But they were not happy. They wanted to have friends and share their fun.
+
+One day, a new family moved in next door. They had a boy named Leo, who was the same age as Sam and Mia. Leo had a bike, but not much else. He was friendly and curious. He saw Sam and Mia playing on their slide and wanted to join them.
+
+Sam and Mia were not sure about Leo. They had never played with anyone else before. They thought he might break their toys or take their clothes. They decided to ignore him and pretend they did not see him. Leo felt sad and lonely.
+
+The next day, it was Leo's birthday. He did not have a party or a cake. His mom and dad were busy working. They gave him a hug and a small present. It was a book about animals. Leo liked animals, but he wished he had someone to read with.
+
+He went outside and saw Sam and Mia playing on their swing. He wanted to wish them a good day and show them his book. But they turned away and whispered to each other. They had a plan. They wanted to make Leo go away. They took a big sheet and wrapped it around the slide. They made it look like a ghost. They thought Leo would be scared and run away.
+
+They waited for Leo to come closer. Then they jumped out from behind the sheet and shouted, "Boo!" They expected Leo to cry and run away. But Leo did not. He laughed and clapped his hands. He said, "Wow, what a cool ghost! Can I play with you?"
+
+Sam and Mia were surprised. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other and felt ashamed. They realized they had been mean and selfish. They apologized to Leo and invited him to play with them. They unwrapped the sheet and showed him their slide and their swing. They also showed him their toys and their clothes. They asked him to share his book and his bike. They became friends and had fun.
+
+They learned that being wealthy is not the same as being happy. And that being friendly is better than being mean. They also learned that a slide can be a ghost, a book can be a treasure, and a bike can be a rocket. And that a sheet can wrap a slide, but not a friendship.
+Sam liked to play chess with his dad. He learned how to move the pieces and how to say check and mate. He thought he was very good at chess and he wanted to beat his dad.
+
+One day, he asked his dad to play chess with him. His dad agreed and set up the board. Sam moved his pieces fast and tried to trap his dad's king. He said, "I will win, dad. You are not good at chess."
+
+His dad smiled and said, "Sam, you are a smart boy, but you need to be humble. Chess is a hard game and you can always improve. You should not be proud or rude to your opponent. You should respect them and learn from them."
+
+Sam did not listen to his dad. He kept moving his pieces and talking. He did not see that his dad had a plan. His dad moved his queen and said, "Checkmate, Sam. I win."
+
+Sam was shocked and sad. He looked at the board and saw that he had no moves left. He realized that his dad was right. He had been too proud and too rude. He had not improved his chess skills. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. You are good at chess. I want to be humble and improve. Can you teach me more?"
+
+His dad hugged him and said, "Of course, Sam. I'm proud of you for being humble and wanting to improve. Chess is a fun game, but it is also a game of learning and respect. Let's play again and I will show you some tips."
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and slide on the ice. One day, they see a big red truck on the street. The truck has a sign that says "Hot Chili".
+
+"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know, Lila. Maybe it is food," Ben says.
+
+They run to the truck and see a man with a big pot. He is giving cups of red soup to people. The people look happy and warm.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you want some hot chili?" the man asks.
+
+"What is chili?" Lila asks.
+
+"Chili is a soup with beans and meat and spices. It is very tasty and hot. It makes you feel good in winter," the man says.
+
+"Can we try some?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It is very spicy. It might make your mouth burn," the man says.
+
+He gives them two small cups of chili. Lila and Ben take a sip. They feel the soup in their mouths. It is hot and spicy. It makes them cough and sneeze.
+
+"Wow, this is spicy!" Lila says.
+
+"I don't like it. It hurts my tongue," Ben says.
+
+They give the cups back to the man. They drink some water. They thank the man and run away.
+
+"Let's go back to the snow. It is more fun," Lila says.
+
+"OK, Lila. Maybe we can make a snowman with a chili hat," Ben says.
+
+They laugh and play in the snow. They forget about the spicy chili. They are happy.
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Sam has a cool coat. It is red and has a big hood. Ben likes Sam's coat. He wants to have one too.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them. Sam and Ben are scared. They run away from the dog. But the dog is faster. It catches up with them.
+
+"Help!" Sam and Ben shout. "The dog is bad!"
+
+The dog jumps on Sam. It tries to bite his coat. Sam pushes the dog away. He says to Ben, "Take my coat and run! I will save you!"
+
+Ben takes Sam's coat and runs. He finds a safe place behind a tree. He waits for Sam. He hopes Sam is okay.
+
+Sam fights with the dog. He kicks and hits the dog. The dog is angry. It bites Sam's arm. Sam feels pain. He cries. He wants Ben to help him.
+
+But then, he hears a whistle. It is the park ranger. He comes with a leash. He sees the dog and Sam. He says, "Bad dog! Leave the boy alone!"
+
+He grabs the dog and puts the leash on it. He says to Sam, "Are you okay, kid? That dog is dangerous. It escaped from its owner. I'm sorry it hurt you."
+
+Sam says, "Thank you, sir. You saved me. But where is my friend Ben? And where is my coat?"
+
+The park ranger says, "Don't worry, kid. Your friend is safe. He ran away with your coat. He was smart. He will come back soon."
+
+Sam smiles. He is happy. He says, "Ben is a good friend. He likes my coat. Maybe I will give it to him. He deserves it."
+
+The park ranger says, "That's very nice of you, kid. You are a good friend too. Come on, let's go find your friend and your coat."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a small ticket on the floor. It is blue and shiny. It has a picture of a train on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. "It is a ticket for a train. A big, fast train."
+
+"Can we go on the train?" Ben asks. "Where does it go?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "But we can imagine. Maybe it goes to a faraway place. A place with mountains and snow and animals."
+
+"Or maybe it goes to a fun place. A place with rides and games and candy," Ben says.
+
+They hold the ticket and close their eyes. They imagine they are on the train. They see the things they want to see. They feel the wind and the sun and the joy. They smile and laugh.
+
+They open their eyes. They are still in their room. But they are happy. They have a small ticket. And a big imagination.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to walk in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of trash on the grass. Sara said, "Look, Tom, what is that? It is disgusting!" Tom said, "I don't know, Sara, maybe someone left it there. Let's go and see."
+
+They walked closer to the trash and saw many things: cans, bottles, papers, and food. They also saw some bugs and worms crawling on the trash. Sara said, "Ew, Tom, this is gross! Why would someone do this? They are hurting the park and the animals." Tom said, "You are right, Sara, this is not good. We should tell someone."
+
+They walked away from the trash and looked for a grown-up. They saw a man in a uniform who was cleaning the park. They ran to him and said, "Hello, sir, we need to tell you something. There is a big pile of trash on the grass. It is disgusting and has bugs and worms. Can you please help?" The man said, "Thank you, kids, for telling me. That is a shock. I will go and clean it up right away. You are very kind and responsible. You care about the park and the animals. That is a good thing to do."
+
+Sara and Tom smiled and said, "You are welcome, sir. We are happy to help. We love the park and the animals. We want them to be clean and healthy." The man said, "You are very smart and good, kids. You have learned an important lesson. We should always respect and protect nature. We should not litter or waste. We should recycle and reuse. That is how we can make the world a better place."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and said, "We understand, sir. We will do that. We will also tell our friends and family. Thank you for teaching us." The man said, "You are welcome, kids. Thank you for being good examples. Now, go and enjoy the park. Have fun and be safe." Sara and Tom said, "Bye, sir. Have a nice day." They walked away, feeling proud and happy. They had done a good deed and learned a good value. They had made a difference.
+Lila and Ben like to go to the lake with their dad. He is a fisherman. He has a big net and a boat. He puts the net in the water and waits for the fish to swim in.
+
+Lila and Ben sit on the boat and look at the water. They see ducks and frogs and bugs. They hear birds and waves and wind. They feel the sun and the breeze and the spray.
+
+After a while, dad pulls the net out of the water. He has many fish in the net. He is happy. He puts the fish in a big basket. He tells Lila and Ben to help him gather the fish. They use their hands and put the fish in the basket. The fish are wet and slippery and shiny. They wiggle and flop and make noises.
+
+Dad takes the basket and the net and the boat to the shore. He thanks Lila and Ben for their help. He says they are good fisherman too. He opens the basket and shows them the fish. He says they will have fish for dinner. He asks them to pick some berries and flowers for mom. They say yes and run to the woods.
+
+Lila and Ben gather berries and flowers. They find red and blue and yellow ones. They fill their hats and their pockets. They are happy. They go back to dad and the fish. They give him the berries and the flowers. He smiles and hugs them. He says they are the best. They all go home together.
+Tim and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a track with books and boxes on the floor. They pretend the track is a road with hills and turns.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tim says. He picks a red car and puts it on the track. Mia picks a blue car and puts it next to Tim's car. They push their cars and make them zoom along the track. They make noises like engines and horns.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!" Tim says.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, honk, honk!" Mia says.
+
+They have fun racing their cars. Sometimes their cars bump into each other or fall off the track. They laugh and pick them up and start again.
+
+Tim sees a zigzag on the track. It is a yellow tape that Mia put there. He thinks it is a challenge. He tries to make his car go through the zigzag without touching the tape. He makes his car go left and right very fast.
+
+"Look, Mia, I can do the zigzag!" Tim says.
+
+"Wow, Tim, you are good!" Mia says. She tries to do the zigzag too, but her car touches the tape. She frowns and tries again.
+
+They play with the zigzag for a while. Then they see the window. The sun is shining and the sky is clear. They see birds and clouds and trees.
+
+"Let's go outside!" Mia says.
+
+"OK, let's go!" Tim says.
+
+They grab their cars and run to the door. They put on their shoes and jackets. They go outside and play with their cars on the grass. They zoom and zigzag and have more fun.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. But they do not share them well. They always fight over who gets the best ones.
+
+One day, Mom says they have to go to the store. She says they have to sit in their seats in the car. Tim and Sam run to the car. They both want the seat by the window. They push and pull and yell.
+
+"Stop it!" Mom says. "You are being stupid. You have to value each other. You are brothers. You have to be kind and share."
+
+But Tim and Sam do not listen. They keep fighting. Mom is angry. She says they have to sit in the middle seat. The middle seat is small and boring. Tim and Sam do not like the middle seat. They are sad and sorry.
+
+They look at each other. They say they are sorry. They say they value each other. They say they will share their cars and trucks. Mom smiles. She says they are good boys. She says they can have the window seats next time. Tim and Sam hug. They are happy. They learn a lesson.
+Lily liked to polish rocks. She had a box full of rocks that she found in the park, the beach, and the yard. She used a cloth and some water to make them shiny and smooth. She was proud of her rocks, but she was also modest. She did not show off or brag about them.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and her friend Ben. Ben saw her box of rocks and asked, "What are those?"
+
+"They are my rocks," Lily said. "I polish them."
+
+"Can I see them?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure," Lily said. She opened the box and showed him her rocks. There were big ones and small ones, round ones and flat ones, red ones and blue ones. They sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, they are so pretty!" Ben said. "You are very good at polishing rocks. Can you teach me how to do it?"
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy that Ben liked her rocks and wanted to learn from her. She said, "Of course. It is easy and fun. You just need a cloth, some water, and a rock. Here, you can have this one." She gave him a green rock that she had polished.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. "You are very kind and generous. And modest, too. You don't act like you are better than anyone else. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily blushed. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend, too. Come on, let's polish some rocks together." They sat on the grass and polished their rocks, while their mom watched them with a smile.
+Mia liked to sit in the big armchair in the living room. It was soft and cozy and had a nice pillow. She liked to read her books there or watch her shows. But sometimes, her big sister Zoe wanted to sit in the armchair too. Zoe was bossy and mean. She would tell Mia to go away and replace her in the armchair. She would say that she was older and bigger and that the armchair was hers.
+
+One day, Mia had a plan. She waited until Zoe went to the kitchen to get a snack. Then, she quickly got up from the armchair and ran to her room. She grabbed her favorite teddy bear and brought it to the living room. She put the teddy bear in the armchair and tucked the pillow under its arm. She smiled and hid behind the couch.
+
+When Zoe came back, she saw the teddy bear in the armchair. She was angry and yelled, "Hey, that's my armchair! Get out of there, you silly bear!" She tried to pull the teddy bear out, but it was stuck. The pillow was too big and the teddy bear was too heavy. Zoe pulled and pulled, but the teddy bear did not move. She started to cry and stomped her feet.
+
+Mia giggled and came out from behind the couch. She said, "Sorry, Zoe, but this is my teddy bear's armchair now. He likes it very much and he does not want to share. Maybe you can find another place to sit, like the floor or the stool. Or maybe you can be nice and ask me if you can sit with me and my teddy bear. What do you think?"
+
+Zoe looked at Mia and the teddy bear. She felt sorry for being bossy and mean. She said, "I'm sorry, Mia. You're right. I should have asked you nicely. Can I please sit with you and your teddy bear in the armchair? I promise I will be nice and share."
+
+Mia smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course, Zoe. You can sit with us. But you have to be gentle with my teddy bear. He is very soft and cozy and he likes hugs." She moved over and made some room for Zoe in the armchair. Zoe hugged the teddy bear and said, "Thank you, Mia. You're a good sister. And your teddy bear is very cute and cozy too." They both sat in the armchair and read their books and watched their shows. They were happy and friendly. The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked like fun. They ran to the slide and took turns to climb up the ladder and slide down.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Tom shouted as he slid down. "I'm so fast!"
+
+"You're not faster than me, Tom!" Lily said as she climbed up. "I'm faster!"
+
+They kept sliding and climbing until they got hungry. They went to their mom, who had a picnic basket with sandwiches and jelly. They sat on a blanket and ate their food.
+
+"Mom, can we have some jelly?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, here you go," Mom said and gave them each a cup of jelly. "But be careful, it's very wobbly."
+
+Tom and Lily loved jelly. They liked how it wiggled and jiggled in their mouths. They ate their jelly quickly and licked their spoons.
+
+"Can we have more jelly, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, there's no more jelly," Mom said. "You ate it all."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted more jelly. They looked at the picnic basket and saw a big jar of jelly. They had an idea.
+
+"Mom, can we play on the slide again?" Tom asked.
+
+"Okay, but don't go too far," Mom said. "I'll watch you from here."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the slide. But they didn't climb up the ladder. They climbed up the slide. They wanted to get the jar of jelly from the basket.
+
+They climbed very quietly and very carefully. They reached the top of the slide and saw the jar of jelly. They smiled and grabbed it.
+
+"Ha ha, we got the jelly!" Tom said.
+
+"Yay, more jelly!" Lily said.
+
+But then, something terrible happened. The jar of jelly was too heavy and slippery. It slipped from their hands and rolled down the slide. It smashed on the ground and splashed jelly everywhere.
+
+Tom and Lily gasped. They saw the jelly on the grass, on the slide, on their clothes. They saw their mom looking very angry.
+
+"Oh no, we're in trouble!" Tom said.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry!" Lily said.
+
+They climbed down the slide and ran to their mom. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They said they were greedy and silly.
+
+Mom was not happy. She said they wasted the jelly and made a mess. She said they had to clean up and go home. She said they had no more jelly for a long time.
+
+Tom and Lily felt very bad. They wished they didn't take the jar of jelly. They wished they listened to their mom. They learned their lesson.
+
+They helped Mom clean up and packed the basket. They walked home with Mom. They said they loved her and they were sorry.
+
+Mom said she loved them too and she forgave them. But she said they had to eat their vegetables and no jelly for a week.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They agreed. They didn't want any more jelly. They wanted to be good. They hugged Mom and said thank you.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to go near it and feel the water.
+
+"Let's go to the fountain!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't get wet!" Tom said.
+
+They ran to the fountain and put their hands in the water. It was cold and nice. They splashed each other and laughed. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch the fountain".
+
+A man who worked in the park saw them. He was angry. He came to them and said "Hey, you two! Stop that! You are not allowed to touch the fountain! You are making a mess!"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They stopped splashing and ran away. They did not say sorry to the man. They ran to their mom who was sitting on a bench. She saw them and said "What happened? Why are you wet?"
+
+Lily and Tom told her what they did. They said they were sorry. They said they did not know they could not touch the fountain. Their mom was not happy. She said "You should not do that. You should read the signs and follow the rules. You should also say sorry to the man who works in the park. He is doing his job and you made it harder for him."
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They said they were sorry to their mom. They said they wanted to say sorry to the man too. Their mom said "That is good. Let's go and find him and say sorry. Then we can go home and change your clothes."
+
+They went back to the fountain and saw the man. He was still angry. He was cleaning the water and the grass. Lily and Tom went to him and said "We are sorry. We did not mean to make a mess. We did not see the sign. We will not touch the fountain again."
+
+The man looked at them. He saw they were sorry. He said "Thank you for saying sorry. I appreciate it. Next time, please read the signs and be careful. The fountain is not for playing. It is for looking and enjoying."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said "OK. We understand. Thank you for taking care of the fountain. It is very pretty."
+
+The man smiled. He said "You are welcome. Have a nice day."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled too. They said "You too. Bye."
+
+They went back to their mom. She hugged them and said "I am proud of you. You did the right thing. You said sorry and you learned your lesson. Now let's go home and wrap you in some dry clothes."
+Anna loved to decorate cakes with her mom. She put on her pink apron and climbed on a stool. Mom gave her a bowl of white cream and a spoon. Anna scooped some cream and spread it on the cake. She smiled and licked the spoon.
+
+"Can I put some sprinkles on it, Mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Here you go." Mom handed her a jar of colorful sprinkles. Anna shook the jar and made dots and stars on the cake. She giggled and clapped her hands.
+
+The cake looked very pretty and yummy. Anna wanted to taste it, but Mom said they had to wait for Dad to come home. Anna nodded and helped Mom clean the table. She hung her apron on a hook and washed her hands.
+
+They put the cake on a plate and covered it with a cloth. They waited in the living room for Dad. Anna played with her doll and Mom read a book. They heard the door open and ran to greet Dad.
+
+"Hi, Dad!" Anna shouted. "We made a cake for you!"
+
+"Wow, you did? That's so nice of you!" Dad said. He hugged Anna and Mom and followed them to the kitchen. He lifted the cloth and saw the cake. He smiled and praised Anna for her decorating skills.
+
+"Thank you, Dad. Do you want a slice?" Anna asked.
+
+"Yes, please. It looks delicious." Dad said. He cut a slice and gave it to Anna. He cut another slice and gave it to Mom. He cut a third slice and gave it to himself. They sat down and ate the cake. It was soft and sweet and creamy.
+
+Anna felt happy and proud. She loved her mom and dad. They were the best. She thought she was a lucky girl. She was not spoiled, but she had everything she needed. She finished her cake and asked for more. Mom and Dad laughed and gave her another slice. They all enjoyed the cake and each other's company. They had a lovely afternoon.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures.
+
+Suddenly, Tom saw a screw on the floor. He picked it up and looked at it. It was shiny and had a pointy end. He wondered what it was for.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a screw!" he said, showing it to his sister.
+
+"What is a screw?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's for fixing things. Or maybe it's a treasure. Do you want to see?" Tom said, holding it out to her.
+
+Lily reached for the screw, but as soon as she touched it, she yelped and pulled her hand back. The screw was very hot! It had been lying near the heater and had warmed up.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It's hot, Tom! It hurts!" Lily cried, rubbing her hand.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily, I'm sorry! I didn't know it was hot. Are you okay?" Tom said, feeling sorry and scared.
+
+He dropped the screw and ran to get a wet cloth. He came back and gently wiped Lily's hand with the cloth. It felt cool and soothing.
+
+"Does it feel better?" he asked, hoping to make her smile.
+
+"A little bit. Thank you, Tom. You're a good brother," Lily said, giving him a hug.
+
+They decided to leave the screw alone and play with their toys again. They learned to be careful with things that might be hot. They also learned to help each other when they got hurt. They were happy to have each other.
+Tom was a restless boy who liked to run and jump and play. He did not like to listen to his mom or dad when they told him to do things. One day, he saw his dad shaving his mustache in the bathroom. Tom thought the mustache was funny and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Dad, can I touch your mustache?" he asked.
+
+"No, Tom, you can't. It's sharp and it might hurt you. And I'm busy right now. Go play with your toys," his dad said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He waited until his dad was not looking and climbed on the stool. He reached for the mustache with his hand. But he did not know that the razor was still on. He cut his finger on the blade and cried out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" he screamed.
+
+His dad turned around and saw what happened. He was angry and worried. He grabbed Tom and wrapped his finger with a towel. He took him to the kitchen and put some ice on it.

+Her mom then called the firemen. They came right away to help. They were wearing big, red hats and they were very strong.
+
+The firemen opened the door and Anna saw them clearly. She was so happy! They helped her out of the elevator and they rescued her. 
+
+“Thank you!†Anna said happily. 
+
+The firemen smiled. Anna was safe and sound.
+Once upon a time, there was a person. They were walking through the woods when they started to stumble. As they stumbled, they noticed something that made them feel guilty. The person couldn’t make out what it was, so they decided to keep walking. 
+
+Eventually, they arrived at an old shack. When they got closer, they realized that the thing they had seen was an open door. It was shaking back and forth as if someone were trying to get out. 
+
+The person was frightened and didn’t want to go in. But they remembered how guilty they had felt when they had seen the door, so they took a deep breath and stepped inside. 
+
+Inside the shack, they found a little boy. The boy had been locked up for days and was scared and alone. The person was feeling guilty, so they took the boy home with them. 
+
+The person had stumbled upon something very important in the woods. They had stumbled upon a person in need, and they were able to help. That made the person feel happy, not guilty.
+Once there was a bunny who loved to race. He would practice every day and race against his friends. One day he found a hat with bright colors, so he decided to wear it while he raced.
+
+When he put it on he suddenly felt very fast, like a rocket! He raced faster than ever and his friends were amazed. But soon it started to get dark and the bunny felt scared.
+
+He knew it was time to go home, but he was too scared of the dark. He heard strange noises that made him tremble, so he ran as fast as he could and the hat flew off his head.
+
+He ran away and found his friends. Together they all walked home, and the bunny never raced again in the dark. 
+
+He was proud of his fast race and kept the hat as a reminder of how brave he had been that night. Even though it was scary, it was a fun adventure too!
+One afternoon, Bill the Bear was walking around in the forest. He was feeling very cheerful and was ready for the day. Suddenly, he felt a drop of water on his nose. He looked up and noticed it started to rain. He was a bit sad but he didn't give up.
+
+Bill quickly looked around and spotted a tree. He ran towards it and got underneath. It was dry and he was happy. Suddenly, he heard something coming down from the tree. He looked up and noticed a wet apple. He was so excited and quickly reached up to receive it.
+
+The apple was cold and wet, but Bill liked it anyway. He ate the whole apple and it made him even more cheerful. Suddenly, a squirrel came out of a nearby bush and waved at Bill. The two animals smiled and laughed.
+Once upon a time there were two brothers, Bob and Joe. Every day they would play together in the park. 
+One day, Joe wanted to play with Bob's basket. "No!" said Bob. "It's mine!" But Joe touched it anyway.
+Bob got very angry and shouted, "Don't touch my basket!" Joe replied, "Why not?" 
+Bob replied, "Because it is stupid!" This made Joe feel very sad. 
+So they sat down and talked. Bob said, "No one likes it when you touch something that doesn't belong to you. It's not nice. It's wrong."
+Joe agreed, and then Bob said, "But If you ask to use something, I'll say yes." 
+The brothers thought about the moral of their story. Never touch something that does not belong to you, and always ask for permission before doing things.
+Once upon a time there was a nice girl. She wanted to help her mommy. So, when her mommy was washing the dishes, the girl found a sink and helped. She was being very thoughtful!
+
+The girl stopped and looked around. She watched the water splashing in the sink. She stopped and looked up at the birds in the tree. She watched them fly away and laughed.
+
+Then, she thought of a good idea. She stopped and smiled. She decided to fill up the sink with soapy water and start washing the dishes. She was so excited to help her mommy!
+
+The girl worked hard and thoughtfully. She washed the dishes and hummed a happy tune.
+
+When she was done, her mommy praised her. The girl was proud of her thoughtful work.
+Once, there was a girl named Daisy. She loved to explore and was always looking for new adventures. Today, she was exploring the woods near her house. As she took each step, the dirt got dirtier and dirtier—but Daisy didn't care. 
+
+Finally, Daisy saw something in the distance. It was a big, dark cave. She ran over to it and peered inside. It was very dark and scary, but Daisy was brave.
+
+"Is anyone in there?" she asked, her voice trembling. 
+
+"Come in," an old voice said from the cave. Daisy bravely stepped inside. The voice said to close the door, so Daisy pushed it closed until it made a big thud.
+
+It was very dark but then a small light appeared. Daisy gasped. There was a magical fairy in the cave!
