+Lily and Ben followed the shadow. They saw a lot of coins and jewels and a small doll with wings. They played with them and the shadow. They had a lot of fun. They gave the shadow a kiss and a hug. They said they would come back soon.
+
+They crawled out of the hole with Spot. They saw the sun and the sky and the grass. They were happy. They had a new friend. They had a big adventure. They had a secret.
+Tommy liked to visit the zoo with his mom. He liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. His favorite animal was the parrot. The parrot had many colors and could talk.
+
+One day, Tommy and his mom went to the zoo. They saw the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. Then they came to the parrot cage. Tommy was very happy. He ran to the cage and said hello to the parrot.
+
+"Hello, hello," the parrot said back. Tommy smiled. He wanted to talk more with the parrot. He asked the parrot his name.
+
+"What's your name? What's your name?" the parrot repeated. Tommy laughed. He told the parrot his name.
+
+"I'm Tommy. I'm Tommy," he said.
+
+"I'm Tommy. I'm Tommy," the parrot said again. Tommy thought the parrot was funny. He asked the parrot another question.
+
+"How old are you? How old are you?" he said.
+
+"How old are you? How old are you?" the parrot said once more. Tommy frowned. He thought the parrot was not listening. He asked the parrot a different question.
+
+"Where are you from? Where are you from?" he said.
+
+"Where are you from? Where are you from?" the parrot said for the last time. Tommy was annoyed. He thought the parrot was rude. He decided to leave the cage.
+
+"Bye, bye," he said to the parrot.
+
+"Bye, bye," the parrot said back. Then the parrot added something else.
+
+"Tommy is a silly boy. Tommy is a silly boy," the parrot said loudly. Tommy heard the parrot. He felt embarrassed. He blinked his eyes. He wished the parrot would be quiet. He looked at his mom. His mom was smiling. She hugged him and said it was okay.
+
+"Don't mind the parrot, Tommy. He is just copying what he hears. He doesn't know what he is saying. You are not a silly boy. You are a smart boy," she said.
+
+Tommy felt better. He nodded his head. He still liked the parrot, but he didn't want to talk to him anymore. He wanted to see the other animals. He and his mom walked away from the cage. The parrot watched them go. He said one more thing.
+
+"Tommy and mom are nice. Tommy and mom are nice," he said softly. He blinked his eyes. He wished they would come back. He was lonely. He wanted to talk more.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in their grandma's house, where there were many rooms and things to hide behind. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran upstairs and found a big closet full of clothes and boxes. He thought it was a perfect hiding spot and crawled inside.
+
+Sara looked for Ben in every room, but she could not find him. She was getting tired and bored. She went to the kitchen, where she saw a pot of tea on the stove. She remembered that grandma always made tea for them when they visited. She thought it would be nice to have some tea and wait for Ben to come out. She grabbed a cup and poured some tea into it. She did not know that the tea was very hot and could burn her tongue.
+
+Ben heard Sara's footsteps in the kitchen. He thought she was getting closer to his hiding spot. He wanted to see where she was, so he peeked out of the closet. He saw Sara holding a cup of tea and bringing it to her mouth. He knew that the tea was hot and could hurt her. He wanted to warn her, but he was afraid that she would find him. He decided to stay quiet and hope that she would not drink the tea.
+
+Sara took a sip of the tea and felt a sharp pain in her tongue. She screamed and dropped the cup, spilling the tea on the floor. She ran to the sink and turned on the faucet, trying to cool her tongue with water. She cried and wished that someone would help her.
+
+Ben heard Sara's scream and felt sorry for her. He realized that he had been ignorant and selfish. He should have told her that the tea was hot and not cared about losing the game. He came out of the closet and ran to the kitchen. He saw Sara crying by the sink and the tea spilled on the floor. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I saw you with the tea and I didn't tell you. I was hiding in the closet and I didn't want you to find me. I was a bad brother. Are you okay?"
+
+Sara looked at Ben and saw that he was sincere. She felt a little better and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You were just playing. But you should have told me. The tea was very hot and it burned my tongue. It hurts a lot. I was a silly sister. I should have waited for grandma to make the tea. She knows how to make it right."
+
+Ben and Sara hugged each other and said they were sorry. They cleaned up the mess and waited for grandma to come back. They learned that they should not play with things that they did not know and that they should always care for each other. They also learned that tea was not a good drink for children. They decided to have some juice instead.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill with snow on it. They want to slide down the hill.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben says. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Lily says. "But we need to find something to slide on. The snow is cold and wet."
+
+They search for something to slide on. They look under the trees, behind the benches, and in the trash cans. They do not find anything.
+
+"Maybe we can use our coats," Ben says. "They are big and soft."
+
+"No, Ben," Lily says. "We need our coats to keep warm. If we use them to slide, they will get dirty and wet. Then we will be cold and sad."
+
+They search some more. They are about to give up, when they see a big cardboard box near the fence. It is empty and flat.
+
+"Look, Lily!" Ben says. "We can use this box to slide on. It is big and smooth."
+
+"Good idea, Ben!" Lily says. "Let's try it!"
+
+They take the box to the hill. They put it on the snow. They sit on the box. They hold each other's hands. They slide down the hill.
+
+"Whee!" they shout. "This is fun!"
+
+They slide down the hill again and again. They laugh and smile. They are not cold. They are happy. They have a lot of will to play. They are glad they found the box. They are good friends.
+Lily liked to cook with her mom. They made cakes and pies and soup. Lily helped to stir and pour and taste. She wore a big apron and a chef hat. She felt happy and proud.
+
+One day, it was raining hard outside. Lily could not go to the park or ride her bike. She was bored and sad. She asked her mom if they could cook something. Her mom smiled and said yes. She said they could make a special treat.
+
+They went to the kitchen and got some eggs and flour and sugar and butter. They also got some chocolate and nuts and dried fruit. They mixed everything in a big bowl. Then they put the mixture in a delicate paper cup. They made many cups and put them on a tray. They put the tray in the oven and waited.
+
+Lily smelled the chocolate and the nuts and the fruit. She was excited and hungry. She asked her mom if they could eat the treat now. Her mom said they had to wait until the treat was baked and cooled. She said they could do something else while they waited.
+
+They went to the living room and read some books and played some games. They had fun and laughed. Lily forgot about the rain and the boredom. She was happy and cozy. After a while, they heard a beep from the kitchen. The treat was ready. They ran to the kitchen and took out the tray. They saw the delicate paper cups with the chocolate and the nuts and the fruit. They looked yummy and pretty. They waited for them to cool a bit. Then they ate them and shared them. They were delicious and sweet. Lily and her mom hugged and thanked each other. They loved to cook together.
+Lila loved to draw with her pastels. She had many colors and she made pretty pictures on big papers. She liked to draw flowers and animals and stars. She always shared her pastels with her friend Ben, who lived next door.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben were drawing on the sidewalk in front of their houses. They knelt on the ground and made a big rainbow. Lila used her red pastel and Ben used his blue one. They were having fun and talking.
+
+"Look, Lila, I made a fish in the sky!" Ben said, pointing to his drawing.
+
+"That's silly, Ben, fish live in the water!" Lila said, laughing.
+
+"But maybe they can fly sometimes, like birds!" Ben said, smiling.
+
+They heard a loud bark and turned around. It was Rex, the big dog that lived across the street. Rex was not nice. He liked to chase and bite people and things. He saw Lila and Ben and their pastels and he ran towards them.
+
+"Uh-oh, Rex is coming!" Lila said, scared.
+
+"Quick, grab the pastels and run!" Ben said, grabbing his blue one.
+
+Lila reached for her red one, but it was too late. Rex was already there and he snatched it with his teeth. He growled and shook his head, breaking the pastel in half.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Lila shouted, angry and sad.
+
+She tried to get her pastel back, but Rex was too big and strong. He ran away with the red pastel in his mouth, leaving Lila and Ben with only one pastel each.
+
+Lila started to cry. She loved her red pastel. It was her favorite color. She felt like she had lost something very important.
+
+Ben saw Lila crying and he felt sorry for her. He was her friend and he wanted to make her happy. He had an idea. He knelt next to Lila and gave her his blue pastel.
+
+"Here, Lila, you can have mine. I don't need it. You can make more pictures with it." Ben said, kindly.
+
+Lila looked at Ben and his blue pastel. She was surprised and touched. She knew Ben liked his blue pastel too. He was giving it to her because he was loyal and generous. She smiled and hugged him.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. You are my best friend." Lila said, gratefully.
+
+They decided to go inside and draw more pictures with their pastels. They didn't care about Rex or his bark. They had each other and their colors. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red shoe in the grass. They run to the shoe and look inside.
+
+"Wow, this shoe is so big!" Lily says. "Who do you think it belongs to?"
+
+"Maybe a giant," Tom says. "Or a clown."
+
+They hear a loud voice behind them. They turn around and see a man with a red nose and a red hat. He is wearing only one shoe.
+
+"Hello, kids," the man says. "Have you seen my other shoe?"
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They think the man is a clown. They do not like clowns. They hide in the shoe.
+
+"Please, don't be afraid," the man says. "I am not a clown. I am a fireman. I was on my way to a fire when I lost my shoe. Can you help me find it?"
+
+Lily and Tom peek out of the shoe. They see the man has a yellow coat and a hose. He is not a clown. He is a fireman.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Lily says. "We thought you were a clown. We found your shoe in the grass. Here it is."
+
+"Thank you, kids," the man says. "You are very kind. Do you want to see my fire truck?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They like fire trucks. They follow the man to his fire truck. He lets them sit inside and turn on the siren. They have fun. They are not scared of the man anymore. They are his friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big puddle of water. They wanted to splash in it.
+
+"Let's have a race!" said Tom. "Who can get to the puddle first?"
+
+"OK!" said Lily. "Ready, set, go!"
+
+They ran as fast as they could. Tom was a little bit faster. He reached the puddle and jumped in. He felt the water soak his shoes and socks. He giggled.
+
+Lily was behind him. She saw him jump in the puddle. She wanted to join him. But she also saw something shiny in the grass. She stopped and picked it up. It was a medal. It had a star and a ribbon. It was very pretty.
+
+"Look what I found!" she said. "A medal!"
+
+Tom heard her. He turned around and saw the medal. He wanted to see it too. He got out of the puddle and ran to her.
+
+"Wow!" he said. "That's a nice medal! Where did you find it?"
+
+"Just here!" she said. "Maybe someone lost it. Maybe it's a prize for something."
+
+They looked at the medal. They wondered who it belonged to. They wondered what it was for.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. They looked up and saw a big dog. It was running towards them. It looked angry. It had sharp teeth and wet fur.
+
+They were frightened. They dropped the medal and ran away. They ran to the house and slammed the door. They hugged each other and breathed hard.
+
+The dog reached the medal. It sniffed it and licked it. It didn't like the taste. It spat it out and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily peeked out of the window. They saw the medal lying on the ground. They felt sad. They wanted to get it back. But they were too scared of the dog.
+
+"Maybe we can get it later," said Tom.
+
+"Maybe," said Lily.
+
+They hoped the dog would not come back. They hoped the medal would be safe. They hoped they would not be so wet and cold. They hoped they would have more fun tomorrow.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They see a dove on a tree. The dove is white and soft. Lily and Ben want to name the dove.
+
+Lily says, "I want to name the dove Snowy. Snowy is a good name for a white dove." Ben says, "No, I want to name the dove Fluffy. Fluffy is a better name for a soft dove." Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want to name the dove.
+
+The dove hears Lily and Ben. The dove is not happy. The dove thinks Lily and Ben are bossy. The dove does not want to be named by them. The dove flies away.
+
+Lily and Ben stop arguing. They see the dove fly away. They feel sad. They say, "Sorry, dove. We did not mean to be bossy. We just like you and want to be your friends."
+
+The dove hears Lily and Ben. The dove feels sorry too. The dove flies back to the tree. The dove says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are nice and kind. You can be my friends. But you do not need to name me. I already have a name. My name is Dove." Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Hello, Dove. We are happy to meet you." They play with Dove and have fun.
+Lily and Ben love to play with their toy automobiles. They have many different kinds and colors, but their favorite one is the big red one. It is very dependable and can go fast and turn well.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race with their automobiles. They make a track with some books and pillows on the floor. They say "ready, set, go!" and push their automobiles along the track.
+
+Lily's automobile is the big red one. She pushes it hard and it zooms ahead of Ben's automobile, which is a small blue one. She smiles and thinks she will win the race.
+
+But then, she comes to a sharp turn. She tries to make her automobile turn, but it goes too fast and skids off the track. It bumps into a book and falls over. Lily gasps and feels sad.
+
+Ben sees what happens and slows down his automobile. He makes it turn carefully and stays on the track. He reaches the finish line and stops. He looks at Lily and sees her sad face. He feels sorry for her.
+
+He picks up his automobile and walks over to Lily. He says "Here, you can have my automobile. It is not as fast as yours, but it can turn better. Maybe you will like it."
+
+Lily looks at Ben and sees his kind smile. She feels happy and says "Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I like your automobile. Maybe we can share them and play together."
+
+They hug and smile. They pick up their automobiles and play some more. They have fun and do not care who wins or loses. They are good friends.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with loops. Loops are round things that can roll and bounce. Tom and Sam have many loops of different colors and sizes.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam go to the park. They see a big loop on the grass. It is red and shiny. Tom and Sam run to the loop. They want to play with it.
+
+"Wow, look at this loop!" Tom says. "It is so big and pretty!"
+
+"Can we get it?" Sam asks. "Can we roll it and bounce it?"
+
+Tom and Sam try to get the loop. But the loop is too big and heavy. They cannot lift it or move it. They push and pull, but the loop does not move.
+
+"Uh-oh, this loop is too fat!" Tom says. "We cannot play with it!"
+
+Sam is sad. He wants to play with the big loop. He looks around. He sees a small loop on a bench. It is blue and soft. Sam runs to the bench. He gets the small loop.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found another loop!" Sam says. "It is not fat. It is just right!"
+
+Tom runs to Sam. He sees the small loop. He smiles. He gets the small loop from Sam. He rolls it and bounces it. Sam does the same.
+
+"Yay, this loop is fun!" Tom says.
+
+"Me too, I like this loop!" Sam says.
+
+Tom and Sam play with the small loop. They are happy. They forget about the big loop. They share and take turns. They have a good time.
+Tommy and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big doll that looked like an angel. The doll had a white dress, golden hair and shiny wings. They called her Annie.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to share Annie with their cousin Billy, who was coming to visit. Billy was not a nice boy. He always broke things and made fun of others. Tommy and Lily did not want to share Annie with him. They loved Annie and valued her very much.
+
+When Billy arrived, he saw Annie and grabbed her. He said she was his now and he would do whatever he wanted with her. Tommy and Lily tried to get her back, but Billy was stronger and meaner. He said Annie was a stupid doll and not a real angel. He said angels were not normal and he did not like them.
+
+He took Annie to the backyard and threw her in the air. He laughed as he watched her fall and hit the ground. He did this again and again, until Annie's dress was torn, her hair was tangled and her wings were bent. Tommy and Lily cried and begged him to stop, but he did not listen.
+
+Then, he had a wicked idea. He said he would make Annie fly for real. He ran to the shed and got a can of gasoline and a lighter. He poured gasoline all over Annie and set her on fire. He threw her in the air one last time and watched her burn. He said, "Look, Annie is flying! She is a real angel now!"
+
+Tommy and Lily screamed and ran to their mom. They told her what Billy had done. Their mom was shocked and angry. She scolded Billy and called his parents. She hugged Tommy and Lily and said she was sorry. She said Annie was a very special doll and they had every right to value her. She said Billy was a very bad boy and he would be punished.
+
+But it was too late. Annie was gone. Tommy and Lily never saw her again. They missed her every day. They wished they had never shared her with Billy. They wished they had a normal cousin who liked angels. They wished they had their angel back.
+Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But there is a long line of kids waiting for their turn.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, please?" Ben asks his mom.
+
+"Okay, but you have to wait your turn and be patient," his mom says.
+
+Ben and Lily join the line. They are very excited. They watch the other kids slide down. They see some kids go fast and some kids go slow. They see some kids scream and some kids laugh.
+
+"It's our turn soon!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, I can't wait!" Ben says.
+
+They move closer to the slide. They see a big knot on the rope that holds the slide. The knot looks funny. Ben wants to touch it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a knot!" Ben says. He reaches for the knot.
+
+"Ben, don't touch that!" Lily says. She pulls his hand away.
+
+"Why not?" Ben says.
+
+"Because it might break the slide!" Lily says.
+
+"No, it won't. It's just a knot," Ben says.
+
+He tries to touch the knot again. Lily stops him. They start to argue.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom says. She hears them from behind. She enters the line and stands between them.
+
+"Mom, Ben wants to touch the knot!" Lily says.
+
+"Mom, Lily won't let me touch the knot!" Ben says.
+
+Their mom looks at the knot. She sees that it is loose and frayed. She knows that it is not safe.
+
+"Listen, kids, the knot is not a toy. It is part of the slide. If you touch it, you might make it come undone. Then the slide might fall down. That would be very bad. Do you understand?" their mom says.
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They understand. They don't want to break the slide. They don't want to hurt themselves or the other kids.
+
+"Okay, mom, we won't touch the knot," they say.
+
+"Good. Now, it's your turn to go on the slide. Have fun, but be careful," their mom says.
+
+She helps them climb up the ladder. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. They smile.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" they say.
+
+They slide down. They feel the wind in their hair. They feel the sun on their faces. They feel the joy in their hearts.
+
+They reach the bottom. They laugh. They hug.
+
+"That was fun!" they say.
+
+They look at their mom. She smiles. She is proud of them.
+
+They look at the slide. They see the knot. They leave it alone.
+
+They run to the swings. They play some more. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a bird on a tree. The bird was singing a pretty song.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Anna said. "Do you know what kind of bird it is?"
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not recognize the bird. He only knew some birds, like crows and sparrows.
+
+"Maybe we can ask Mom," Anna said. "She knows a lot of things."
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They pointed to the bird and asked her what it was.
+
+Mom smiled and looked at the bird. "That's a robin," she said. "It has a red chest and a brown back. It likes to eat worms and berries. It's a very tidy bird. It makes a neat nest with grass and mud."
+
+"Wow, a robin!" Anna and Ben said. "It's a very nice bird. Can we feed it some bread?"
+
+Mom nodded and gave them some bread crumbs. They threw them on the ground near the tree. The robin flew down and ate them. It thanked them with another song.
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They learned something new and made a new friend. They decided to be tidy like the robin and pick up their toys when they went home. They knew that being tidy was a good thing.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Sam saw a big snail on a leaf. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a snail!" he said. "Can I hold it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Sam, snails are slimy and they pinch. They have teeth in their mouths. They can hurt you."
+
+Sam did not believe her. He thought snails were cute and slow. He reached for the snail. He did not see the snail's mouth open.
+
+"Ow!" he cried. "The snail pinched me! It pinched me hard!"
+
+He dropped the snail and ran to Lily. He showed her his finger. It had a red mark.
+
+"I told you, Sam, snails pinch. You should listen to me," Lily said. She gave him a hug. "Let me get a band-aid for you."
+
+They went inside the house. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making breakfast. She had a big bowl of eggs.
+
+"Mom, can we have eggs?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, you can have eggs. But be careful, they are hot," mom said. She cracked an egg and put it in a pan.
+
+Sam and Lily watched the egg. They saw the white part turn solid and the yellow part stay runny.
+
+"Mom, why is the yellow part not solid?" Sam asked.
+
+"Because the yellow part is the baby chick. It is not born yet. It is still inside the egg," mom said.
+
+Sam and Lily gasped. They felt sorry for the baby chick.
+
+"Mom, are you cooking the baby chick? Is it dead?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom smiled. "No, sweetie, I am not cooking the baby chick. These eggs are not for hatching. They are for eating. The baby chicks are not alive. They are dead."
+
+Sam and Lily did not understand. They did not want to eat dead baby chicks. They felt sick.
+
+"Mom, we don't want eggs. We want toast," they said.
+
+Mom shrugged. "Okay, then, toast it is. But don't waste the eggs. They are good for you."
+
+She put the eggs on a plate. She gave them to the cat. The cat licked the eggs. It liked them. It did not care if they were dead or alive. It was happy.
+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and a big pond. They also saw a statue of a man on a horse. The statue was very tall and shiny.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"That is a king," Mom said. "He was a good king who helped many people."
+
+Lily and Sam wanted to see the statue closer. They ran to the statue and looked up at it. They saw the king's face, his crown, his sword, and his horse.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Sam asked.
+
+"Only gently," Mom said. "The statue is very old and precious."
+
+Lily and Sam touched the statue with their fingers. They felt the metal and the bumps. They liked the statue.
+
+"Can we ride the horse?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't," Mom said. "The horse is not real. It is part of the statue."
+
+Lily and Sam were a little sad. They wanted to ride the horse. But they understood that the statue was not a toy.
+
+They decided to play near the statue. They pretended to be kings and queens. They wore leaves as crowns and sticks as swords. They had fun and laughed.
+
+Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them enjoy the park and the statue. She took a picture of them with the statue. She thought it was a beautiful memory.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they found a big mill in the park. The mill had a door, a window and a wheel. Tom and Lily decided to play a game with the mill.
+
+"Let's see who can crawl to the door first," Tom said. "The one who gets there first is the winner."
+
+"OK, I will beat you," Lily said. "Ready, set, go!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to crawl on the grass. They moved their arms and legs fast. They looked at each other and tried to go faster. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them.
+
+The dog saw Tom and Lily and thought they were playing with him. He barked and ran to them. He jumped on them and licked their faces. Tom and Lily screamed and stopped crawling. They were scared of the dog.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Go away, dog!"
+
+A man came and saw the dog and the twins. He was the owner of the dog. He called the dog and took him away. He said sorry to Tom and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, he is a friendly dog. He just wanted to play with you. Are you OK?" the man said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were not hurt, but they were dirty and wet. They looked at each other and then at the mill. They did not care about the game anymore. They just wanted to go home.
+
+"Let's go home, Tom," Lily said.
+
+"OK, let's go home, Lily," Tom said.
+
+They got up and walked to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her what happened and she hugged them. She said they were brave and she was proud of them. She took them home and gave them a bath and a snack. Tom and Lily forgot about the mill and the dog. They were happy to be home.
+Lily did not want to wake up. She was having a nice dream about playing with her dolls and eating cake. But her big brother Jake was very mean. He took the hose from the garden and sprayed cold water on her face. Lily screamed and jumped out of bed. She was wet and cold and miserable.
+
+"Jake, you are so bad!" Lily cried. "Why did you do that?"
+
+"Because you are a baby and I don't like you," Jake said. He laughed and ran away. Lily felt very sad and angry. She wished she could get back at him.
+
+She ran to the bathroom and dried herself with a towel. Then she had an idea. She saw her brother's toothbrush on the sink. She smiled and took it. She went to the kitchen and dipped it in the jar of honey. Then she put it back where it was.
+
+She waited for Jake to come back. She heard him open the door and go to the bathroom. She heard him brush his teeth. She heard him spit and gag.
+
+"Yuck! What is this?" Jake shouted. "My toothbrush is sticky and sweet!"
+
+Lily giggled and ran to the bathroom. She saw Jake's face. It was sticky and sweet too. He looked miserable.
+
+"That's what you get for being mean to me," Lily said. "Now you know how I felt."

+Jake realized what she had done. He was very sorry. He apologized to Lily and hugged her. He promised to never spray her with the hose again. Lily forgave him and hugged him back. They decided to share the cake and play with the dolls together. They were happy.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their toy guns. They liked to pretend they were spies and shoot at the bad guys. They ran behind the trees and the slides and made loud noises.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You're dead, Mr. Evil!" Ben shouted.
+
+"No, you missed me, Agent Ben! I'm too fast for you!" Mia replied.
+
+They laughed and chased each other around the park. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, the sun started to go down and the park became dark. Ben and Mia saw their shadows on the ground. They looked big and scary.
+
+"Look, Mia, our shadows are the bad guys! Let's shoot them!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's do it!" Mia agreed.
+
+They pointed their toy guns at their shadows and pulled the triggers. But nothing happened. Their shadows did not fall or make any sound. They just moved with them.
+
+"Hey, why can't we shoot our shadows?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they are magic shadows. Maybe they are our friends." Mia said.
+
+"Maybe you're right, Mia. Maybe they are our friends. They look like us, after all." Ben said.
+
+They decided to stop shooting their shadows and play with them instead. They made funny shapes and poses with their shadows. They saw how their shadows changed with the light. They thought it was brilliant.
+
+They forgot about the bad guys and the spies. They just enjoyed their shadows and the park. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. But sometimes, Ben likes to tease Lily. He says mean things to her. He says she is not good at drawing. He says her dress is ugly. He says her hair is messy.
+
+One day, Lily is very sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She runs away from him in the hall. She finds a quiet corner and cries. She wishes Ben would be nice to her.
+
+Then, she sees Miss Rose, her teacher. Miss Rose is very kind. She has a beautiful smile. She sees Lily crying and comes to her. She asks her what is wrong. Lily tells her about Ben. She says he is mean and he teases her.
+
+Miss Rose hugs Lily and wipes her tears. She says, "Lily, you are a wonderful girl. You are good at drawing. Your dress is lovely. Your hair is pretty. Ben is wrong to tease you. He is not a good friend. He is just jealous of you. He wants to make you feel bad. But you should not let him. You should be proud of yourself. You have many other friends who like you and care for you."
+
+Lily feels better. She smiles and thanks Miss Rose. She says, "Miss Rose, you are very nice. You are a good teacher. You make me happy. I like you very much."
+
+Miss Rose says, "I like you too, Lily. You are a sweet girl. Now, let's go and join your other friends. They are waiting for you. And don't worry about Ben. He will learn his lesson soon. He will see that teasing is not fun. It is hurtful. And he will lose his friends if he keeps doing it."
+
+Lily nods and holds Miss Rose's hand. They walk together in the hall. Lily sees Ben. He looks angry and lonely. He tries to tease her again. He says, "Hey, Lily, where are you going? To cry some more? You are such a baby."
+
+But Lily does not care. She ignores him. She says to Miss Rose, "Miss Rose, you are right. Ben is jealous. He is not a good friend. He is silly. I don't want to play with him anymore. I want to play with you and my other friends. They are nice and fun. They make me happy."
+
+Miss Rose smiles and says, "That's the spirit, Lily. You are a smart and brave girl. You know how to stand up for yourself. You know how to choose your friends. You know how to be happy. I am proud of you."

+Lily and Miss Rose reach the other kids. They greet Lily and invite her to play. Lily joins them and has a lot of fun. She forgets about Ben. She is happy. She thinks, "Miss Rose is right. I am a wonderful girl. I have a beautiful smile. I have a lovely dress. I have a pretty hair. I have many good friends. I am happy."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dog, Max. Max was a big dog with brown fur and four paws. Lily liked to hug Max and pet his fur. She also liked to measure his paws with her hands. She would put her hand next to his paw and see how big it was. She thought Max had the biggest paws in the world.
+
+One day, Lily and Max went outside to play in the snow. It was very cold and white. Lily wore a coat and a hat and gloves and boots. Max wore nothing but his fur. Lily made a snowman and threw snowballs at Max. Max ran and jumped and barked. He liked the snow, but his paws got cold.
+
+Lily saw that Max was shivering and licking his paws. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Come here, Max. I have something for you." She took off her gloves and put them on Max's paws. They were too big for him, but they kept his paws warm. Max wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. He was happy and grateful.
+
+Lily and Max went back inside the house. Lily's mom gave them hot chocolate and cookies. Lily told her mom how she measured Max's paws and how she gave him her gloves.

+Lila liked to skip. She skipped in the park, she skipped in the school, she skipped in the house. She skipped with her friends, she skipped with her dog, she skipped with her mom. Skipping made her happy and free.
+
+One day, Lila went to the farm with her dad. She saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. She also saw a big pile of hay. Hay was soft and yellow and smelled good. Lila wanted to skip on the hay.
+
+She asked her dad if she could skip on the hay. He said yes, but be careful. Lila ran to the hay and started to skip. She felt the hay under her feet and in her hair. She laughed and sang. She skipped high and low. She skipped fast and slow.
+
+But then, she skipped too far. She skipped over the edge of the hay pile and fell down. She landed on the ground with a thud. She felt a pain in her knee and a tear in her eye. She cried out loud.
+
+Her dad heard her cry and ran to her. He picked her up and hugged her. He checked her knee and saw a small cut. He said it was okay, it would heal soon. He said she was brave and original. He said he loved her and her skipping. He kissed her and smiled.
+
+Lila felt better. She smiled back and hugged her dad. She said she loved him and the farm. She said she still liked to skip, but maybe not on the hay. She said she wanted to see the animals again. Her dad said okay, let's go. They walked hand in hand to the barn. Lila skipped a little, but not too much. She was happy and free.

+
+Sara looked at Tom and felt sorry for him. She had an idea. She took a napkin from the basket and gave it to Tom.

+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play on the shore. The shore had sand and water and shells. Some shells were shiny and smooth. Some shells were sharp and pointy.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam found a big shell. It was pink and white and had a hole. "Look, Sam, a shell house!" Tom said. He wanted to put his finger in the hole. "No, Tom, don't!" Sam said. He remembered what Mom had told them. "Some shell houses have animals inside. They can bite you with their sharp teeth."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He put his finger in the hole. He felt something pinch him hard. He screamed and pulled his finger out. It was bleeding. He saw a small crab in the shell. It had sharp claws and eyes on sticks. It looked angry.

+Tom and Sue were playing in the yard. They liked to dig holes and fill them with dirt, rocks and sticks. They had many holes in the yard, but their favorite one was big and deep.

+
+Tommy says, "OK, mom. I won't forget. I love the reindeer. They are my friends."

+
+He walks to the girl and says, "Hi, I am Tom. What is your name?"
+
+The girl looks at him and says, "I am Lily. I am new here. I don't have any friends yet."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Do you want to be my friend? I have a dog. He is very nice. Do you like dogs?"
+
+Lily nods and says, "Yes, I like dogs. Can I pet your dog?"
+
+Tom says, "Sure. Come with me. I will introduce you to Spot."
+
+Tom and Lily run to where Spot is waiting. Spot wags his tail and licks Lily's hand. Lily giggles and says, "He is so soft and warm. He has a gray spot on his ear. He is cute."

+
+The park is peaceful. The kids are peaceful. They all share and play. They all have fun. They all go on the slide. The slide is big and fun.
+Lily likes to read books. She reads books about animals, colors, shapes and numbers. She learns new words from the books. She wants to know more about the world.
+
+One day, she goes to the library with her mom. She sees a big book with a picture of the world on the cover. She asks her mom to read it to her. Her mom says yes and they sit on a cozy chair.
+
+The book tells them about different places, people and things in the world. Lily sees mountains, oceans, deserts, forests and cities. She sees people who speak different languages, wear different clothes and eat different foods. She sees animals that fly, swim, run and crawl. She thinks the world is amazing and beautiful.
+
+She also learns that some places, people and animals need help. Some places are too hot, too cold, too dry or too wet. Some people are hungry, sick, sad or scared. Some animals are lost, hurt, lonely or endangered. She feels sorry for them and wants to help them.
+
+She asks her mom how she can help. Her mom says there are many ways to be helpful. She can share her toys, clothes and books with others. She can be kind, polite and friendly to everyone. She can save water, energy and paper. She can plant trees, flowers and seeds. She can donate money, food and medicine. She can join clubs, groups and teams. She can read more books and learn more skills.
+
+Lily decides to do all these things. She thinks reading books is helpful. She thinks helping the world is fun. She loves to read and help. She is a good girl.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they found a big sack in the shed. It was green and soft and had a rope on the top.
+
+"Let's play with the sack!" Tom said. "We can bounce on it and roll on it and hide in it!"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They took the sack to the grass and opened it. Inside, they saw something fluffy and white. It was a bunny! The bunny was adorable. It had long ears, a pink nose and a cute tail. It looked at Tom and Lily with big eyes.
+
+"Wow!" Tom said. "A bunny! Where did it come from?"
+
+"I don't know!" Lily said. "Maybe it was a gift from someone!"
+
+They gently took the bunny out of the sack and cuddled it. The bunny was soft and warm and friendly. It licked their faces and nibbled their fingers.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Tom asked. "Please, please, please!"
+
+"Let's ask Mom and Dad!" Lily said. "Maybe they will say yes!"
+
+They ran to the house with the sack and the bunny. They hoped Mom and Dad would let them have a new pet. They loved the bunny so much. They wanted to bounce with it and play with it and take care of it. The bunny was the best surprise ever!
+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Anna said.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he is cold. Let's give him a hug," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the snowman and wrapped their arms around his waist. They felt his snow was hard and cold.
+
+"Freeze!" a voice said behind them. They turned around and saw their big brother Sam. He had a snowball in his hand and a grin on his face.
+
+"Sam, don't throw that at us!" Anna said.
+
+"Why not? It's fun!" Sam said.
+
+"No, it's not. It's mean. You will make us wet and cold," Ben said.
+
+"That's fair. You hugged the snowman and made him wet and cold," Sam said.
+
+"No, we didn't. We made him happy. He likes hugs," Anna said.
+
+"How do you know? He can't talk," Sam said.
+
+"He can. He told us. Right, snowman?" Ben said.
+
+They looked at the snowman and waited for him to say something. But he didn't. He just stood there with his hat and scarf and carrot nose and button eyes.
+
+"See? He's silent. He doesn't like you. He likes me. I'm his friend," Sam said.
+
+He threw the snowball at them and hit Anna in the face. She screamed and cried. Ben got angry and threw a snowball back at Sam. He missed and hit the snowman's hat. The hat fell off and rolled away.
+
+"Hey, you broke his hat!" Sam said.
+
+"You started it!" Ben said.
+
+They both picked up more snowballs and threw them at each other. Anna wiped her face and joined them. They had a big snowball fight. The snowman watched them and wished they would stop. He was lonely and cold. He wanted his hat and scarf and hugs. He wanted to be their friend. But they didn't notice him. They only noticed each other.
+Sam and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They wanted to win the trophy that their dad had bought for them. It was bright and shiny and had a star on top.

+
+Sam kicked the ball hard. It flew past the goalie and into the net. "Goal!" Sam cheered. He ran to Lily and gave her a high five.
+
+The blue team was sad. They had one more chance to score. They tried to get the ball from Sam and Lily, but they were too fast and smart.
+
+The whistle blew. The game was over. Sam and Lily had won. They hugged and jumped up and down.
+
+Their dad came over and smiled. He gave them the trophy. "You did great, kids. I'm so proud of you. You played fair and had fun."

+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, they draw a picture of a big dragon and a brave knight. They use red, green and yellow crayons. They are very proud of their picture.
+
+"Look, Mommy, we made a dragon!" Sara says, showing the picture to their mother.
+
+"That's a very nice dragon, Sara. And who is the knight?" Mommy asks.
+
+"That's Tom. He is going to rescue the princess from the dragon," Sara says.
+
+Mommy smiles and puts the picture on the fridge. She tells them it is time for a nap. Sara and Tom are sleepy, but they want to play more.
+
+"Can we take the picture to our room?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful with it. It might get torn or dirty," Mommy says.
+
+Sara and Tom take the picture to their room. They put it on the wall next to their beds. They pretend they are in the picture. Sara is the princess and Tom is the knight. They make noises like a dragon and a sword.
+
+"Roar! I am the dragon. I will eat you, princess!" Sara says.
+
+"No, you won't. I am the knight. I will rescue you, princess!" Tom says.
+
+They have fun playing, but they get tired soon. They lie down on their beds and close their eyes. They fall asleep.
+
+While they are sleeping, a gust of wind blows through the window. It makes the picture fly off the wall. It lands on the floor, near the door. The wind also makes the door open. The dog comes in. He sees the picture. He thinks it is a toy. He grabs it with his teeth. He starts to chew it.
+
+Sara and Tom wake up. They hear a noise. They look for their picture. They see the dog with it.
+
+"Hey, that's our picture! Give it back!" Tom says.
+
+"Bad dog! Leave the picture alone!" Sara says.
+
+They run to the dog. They try to take the picture from him. The dog growls. He does not want to let go. He shakes his head. He tears the picture.
+
+Sara and Tom cry. They are sad. They worked hard on their picture. They liked their picture. Now it is ruined.
+
+Mommy hears them cry. She comes to their room. She sees the dog and the picture.
+
+"Oh, no. I'm sorry, Sara and Tom. The dog did not know. He thought it was a toy. He did not mean to hurt your picture," Mommy says.
+
+She hugs them and comforts them. She takes the dog out of the room. She closes the window and the door. She tells them she will help them make a new picture.
+
+Sara and Tom stop crying. They are still sad, but they feel better. They thank Mommy. They say they love her. They say they love each other. They say they love the dog, too. They say they will make a new picture. A better picture. A picture of a big dragon, a brave knight, a princess and a dog.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys in the park. They have many toys, but their favorite is a modern robot. The robot can talk and move and make funny sounds.
+
+One day, they are playing with the robot when a big boy comes. The big boy is mean. He wants the robot for himself. He grabs the robot from Lily's arm and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouts. "That's our robot!"
+
+Ben is brave. He runs after the big boy. He catches him and pulls his hair. The big boy drops the robot and cries.
+
+"Leave us alone!" Ben says. "You are bad!"
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They are happy. They have their robot back. They say thank you to the robot.
+
+"Thank you for being our friend," the robot says. "You are good."

+They smile and play some more. They are the best friends ever.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big brown case under a tree. They are curious.
+
+"Let's go and see what is in the case," Sara says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Maybe it is someone's case and they will be angry if we touch it," Tom says.
+
+They run to the case and open it. Inside, they find many colorful things. There are balls, books, dolls, cars, and puzzles.
+
+"Wow, look at all these toys! Can we pick some and play with them?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask someone first. Maybe these are not toys, but something important," Tom says.
+
+But Sara does not listen. She picks a ball and throws it in the air. Tom picks a car and drives it on the ground. They have fun with the toys.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my case? That is not yours, that is mine!"
+
+They look up and see a man coming towards them. He looks angry. He has a hat and a coat and a big bag.
+
+"Who are you? Why do you have a case full of toys?" Sara asks.
+
+"I am not a toy seller. I am a clown. These are my props for my show. I left my case here while I went to the bathroom. You should not touch other people's things without asking," the man says.
+
+Sara and Tom feel scared and sorry. They put the toys back in the case and close it.
+
+"We are sorry, mister. We did not know. We thought they were toys. We just wanted to play," Tom says.
+
+The man looks at them and sighs. He sees that they are just kids and they did not mean any harm.
+
+"It's OK, kids. I forgive you. But next time, be more careful and respectful. And if you want to see some real fun, you can come and watch my show. It starts in ten minutes over there," the man says, pointing to a big tent.
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They say thank you and run to the tent. They are happy to see the clown and his funny tricks. They learn a lesson and have a good time.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a branch that is low and strong. We can use it to go up," Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom, you go first. Be careful," Lily said.
+
+Tom grabbed the branch and pulled himself up. He felt happy and proud. He looked around and saw a nest with three eggs. He wanted to touch them, but he knew it was not nice.
+
+"Lily, come up. There is a nest here. It is very pretty," Tom said.
+
+Lily tried to grab the branch, but it was too high for her. She jumped and stretched, but she could not reach it. She felt sad and envious. She wanted to see the nest too.
+
+"Tom, I can't reach the branch. It is too high for me. Can you help me?" Lily said.
+
+Tom looked down and saw Lily. He felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her, but he did not know how. He thought for a moment.
+
+"Lily, maybe you can use the swing. It is near the tree. You can swing high and then jump to the branch. Do you want to try?" Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She ran to the swing and sat on it. She pushed with her legs and swung high. She saw the branch getting closer. She waited for the right moment and then jumped.
+
+She made it. She grabbed the branch and climbed up. She felt happy and proud. She joined Tom and saw the nest. It was very pretty.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did it. You are very brave. The nest is amazing, right?" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, Tom, I did it. I am very brave. The nest is amazing. Thank you for helping me," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and hugged. They watched the eggs and waited for the birds to come back. They were happy and not envious anymore. They were good friends.
+Lily likes to raise birds. She has a big cage in her backyard. She gives them food and water every day. She talks to them and sings to them. She has many kinds of birds: red, blue, yellow, green.
+
+One day, it is very hot. Lily feels sweaty and thirsty. She thinks her birds must feel hot too. She wants to help them. She gets a big bowl of water and a spray bottle. She goes to the cage and opens the door.
+
+She puts the bowl of water inside the cage. She says, "Here, birds, drink some water. It will make you feel better." The birds fly to the bowl and drink. They make happy noises. Lily smiles.
+
+She takes the spray bottle and sprays some water on the birds. She says, "Here, birds, have some fun. It will make you feel cool." The birds flap their wings and splash. They make more happy noises. Lily laughs.
+
+She raises her hand and waves to the birds. She says, "Bye, birds, I love you. I will come back later." She closes the door and goes inside. She feels good. She likes to raise birds.
+Sara and Tom like to play with junk. They find old boxes, cans, and toys in the yard. They make a big fort with the junk. They pretend they are kings and queens of the junk land.
+
+One day, a big truck comes to the yard. It has a loud noise and a big arm. The truck man says, "I am here to take away the junk. It is not good for you to play with. It is dirty and dangerous."
+
+Sara and Tom are sad. They do not want to lose their fort. They say, "Please, do not take our junk. It is our fun. We love our junk. It is our land."
+
+The truck man shakes his head. He says, "Sorry, kids. I have to do my job. The junk has to go. It is the end of the junk land."
+
+He uses the big arm to grab the junk and put it in the truck. Sara and Tom watch as their fort disappears. They cry and hug each other.
+
+The truck man feels sorry for them. He says, "Hey, kids. I have an idea. Why don't you come with me to the junk yard? There is a lot of junk there. You can play with it as much as you want. Maybe you can make a new junk land."
+
+Sara and Tom wipe their tears. They think about it. They say, "OK. We will go with you. Maybe we can find some new junk to play with. Maybe we can be happy again."
+
+They get in the truck with the truck man. They wave goodbye to their old junk. They look forward to their new junk. They hope they can make a new fort and a new land. They hope they can have fun and be happy.
+Lily was a new girl in the park. She did not know anyone. She felt helpless. She wanted to play with the other kids, but she was shy.
+
+Then she saw a boy with a big red ball. He was kicking it around. He looked fun. Lily walked up to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Sure, I am Ben. This is my ball. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked the ball. It was bright and bouncy. She said, "Yes, I like it. Can you show me how to kick it?"
+
+Ben said, "Of course. It is easy. You just have to run and hit it with your foot. Like this." He kicked the ball hard and it flew across the park.
+
+Lily clapped her hands. She said, "Wow, you are good. Can I try?"
+
+Ben said, "Sure, here you go." He rolled the ball to her. Lily ran and kicked it with her foot. But she missed. The ball hit a man who was sitting on a bench. He was wearing a black robe and a wig. He was a judge.
+
+The judge was angry. He said, "Hey, watch where you are kicking that ball. You could have hurt me. Who are you?"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to hit you. We are just playing."
+
+The judge said, "Playing? This is not a place for playing. This is a place for judging. I am a judge. I judge people who do bad things. And you did a bad thing. You hit me with a ball."
+
+Lily and Ben did not know what to say. They felt helpless. They did not think they did a bad thing. They just wanted to have fun. They looked at each other and hoped the judge would not be too mean.
+One day, a rat named Remy wanted to wake up early and find some cheese. He liked cheese very much, but he had to share it with his big family. He had many brothers and sisters who also liked cheese, and sometimes there was not enough for everyone.
+
+So Remy set his alarm clock to ring when the sun was still sleeping. He hoped to sneak out of his hole and look for cheese in the kitchen, where the humans lived. He thought he would find a big piece of cheese and bring it back to his hole, and then he would be very happy.
+
+But when his alarm clock rang, he was not the only one who heard it. His sister Rita also woke up and saw him getting ready to leave. She was jealous of Remy, because she wanted cheese too. She did not want him to have more cheese than her.
+
+"Where are you going, Remy?" she asked him.
+
+"I'm going to find some cheese," he said.
+
+"Can I come with you?" she asked.
+
+"No, you can't. You are too noisy and slow. You will make the humans see us and chase us away. Go back to sleep," he said.
+
+Remy was not very nice to his sister. He did not want to share his cheese with her. He thought he was smarter and faster than her. He left his hole and ran to the kitchen, leaving Rita behind.
+
+But he did not know that Rita was not very happy with him. She was angry and sad. She decided to follow him and spoil his plan. She waited for him to find some cheese, and then she made a loud noise. She knocked over a pot and a pan, and woke up the humans. They saw Remy with the cheese and shouted at him. They threw a broom and a shoe at him. Remy was scared and dropped the cheese. He ran back to his hole, but he had nothing to show for his adventure.
+
+Rita was glad that Remy did not get the cheese. She thought he deserved it for being mean to her. She went back to her hole and smiled. She did not care that she had no cheese either. She only cared that Remy had none. She was a very jealous rat.
+Lily loved trains. She had many toy trains that she played with every day. She liked to make them go fast and slow, and make noises like "choo-choo" and "brake". She dreamed of riding a real train someday.
+
+One day, her mom said they were going to visit her grandma, who lived far away. They had to take a train to get there. Lily was very happy and excited. She packed her favorite toy train in her backpack, and put on her train hat and scarf.
+
+They went to the big station, where there were many people and many trains. Lily saw the train that they had to take. It was huge and shiny and loud. She felt a little scared. She held her mom's hand tightly.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily nodded, but she was anxious. She wondered what it would be like to ride the train. Would it be fun or scary? Would it go too fast or too slow? Would it make too much noise or too little?
+
+They got on the train and found their seats. Lily looked out the window and saw the station moving away. The train started to go faster and faster. Lily felt her stomach flip. She clutched her toy train in her backpack.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily shrugged, but she was not okay. She wished they could go back to the station. She wished she could play with her toy trains at home. She wished she had never dreamed of riding a real train.
+
+The train went on and on, through fields and towns and bridges. Lily closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but she could not. She heard the train whistle and the wheels clack. She felt the train sway and bump. She hoped they would get to grandma's soon.
+
+After a long time, the train slowed down and stopped. Lily opened her eyes and saw a sign that said "Welcome to Grandma's Town". She felt a surge of relief and joy. She grabbed her backpack and followed her mom out of the train.
+
+"Look, Lily, there's grandma!" her mom said, pointing to a smiling lady who was waving at them.
+
+Lily ran to grandma and hugged her. She felt warm and safe. She showed her toy train to grandma, who said it was very nice. She said she had a surprise for Lily. She took her to the backyard, where there was a small train set with tracks and tunnels and bridges.
+
+"Wow!" Lily exclaimed. She forgot all about the big train and the scary ride. She played with the small train for hours, making it go fast and slow, and making noises like "choo-choo" and "brake". She was very happy and excited. She realized she still loved trains, but only the small ones.
+Lily and Max were bored. They had nothing to do in the backyard. They looked at the grass, the flowers, the trees, and the sky. They yawned.
+
+"Let's play a game," Lily said.
+
+"What game?" Max asked.
+
+"Let's organize the backyard. We can make piles of different things. Like leaves, rocks, sticks, and bugs."
+
+"Organize? What does that mean?" Max said.
+
+"It means to put things that are the same together. Like this." Lily picked up some leaves and put them in a pile. "See? These are all leaves. They are green and soft."
+
+Max nodded. He liked the idea. He found some rocks and put them in another pile. "These are all rocks. They are hard and gray."
+
+They went on like this, finding more things to organize. They made piles of sticks, bugs, flowers, and even dirt. They had fun making their own rules and shapes.
+
+"Look at our backyard!" Lily said. "We organized it. It looks nice and neat."
+
+"Yes, we did. We are good at organizing. It is not boring anymore." Max said.
+
+They smiled and hugged. They were proud of their work. They decided to show their mom and dad what they did. They ran inside the house, holding hands.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many rocks and holes. They wanted to explore it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill and see what's there," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It looks old and dirty," Ben said.
+
+They climbed the hill and found a big hole. They looked inside and saw something shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at this! It's a mine! Maybe there are treasures inside!" Lily said.
+
+She crawled into the hole and grabbed a shiny rock. It was gold.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found gold! It's mine, mine, mine!" Lily said.
+
+She was so happy that she did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not enter! Old mine!"
+
+Ben saw the sign and got scared.
+
+"Lily, come out! It's not safe! It's an ancient mine! It could fall down!" Ben said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She wanted more gold. She crawled deeper into the hole and saw more shiny rocks.
+
+"More gold! More gold! It's all mine!" Lily said.
+
+She was so greedy that she did not hear the rumble. The mine was old and weak. It could not hold the weight of the rocks and the dirt.
+
+The mine started to collapse. The rocks and the dirt fell on Lily. She screamed and cried.
+
+"Help! Help! Ben, help me!" Lily said.
+
+But Ben could not help her. He was too far away. He ran to get help, but it was too late.
+
+The mine buried Lily. She was gone.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play knights and dragons. They had a big shield that their dad made for them out of wood and paint. They used the shield to protect themselves from the scary dragon, which was really their dog, Rex.
+
+One day, they decided to visit their grandma, who lived in a small house near the park. They brought their shield with them, because they wanted to show it to her. Grandma was very happy to see them, and gave them cookies and milk. She also liked their shield, and said it was very pretty and strong.
+
+"Can we play knights and dragons in your backyard, Grandma?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course, my dears, but be careful not to break anything, and watch out for the lazy cat," Grandma said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the backyard, with Rex following them. They pretended that the cat was the dragon, and that they had to save Grandma from its claws. The cat did not like their game, and hissed and scratched at them. Ben and Lily used their shield to block the cat, and Rex barked and chased it away.
+
+"Yay, we did it! We defeated the dragon!" Lily cheered.
+
+"Grandma, Grandma, we saved you!" Ben shouted.
+
+They ran back to the house, holding their shield proudly. Grandma hugged them and praised them for their bravery. She also gave them more cookies and milk, and told them a story about a real knight and a real dragon. Ben and Lily listened with wonder, and dreamed of having more adventures with their shield.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but they also want to try each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while. Then you give it back to me," Ben says.
+
+He nods and gives his car to Anna. Anna nods and gives her doll to Ben. They switch toys and start playing again.
+
+But then, Anna sees a big stain on Ben's car. It is brown and sticky. She does not like it. She thinks it is dirty.
+
+"Yuck! Your car is dirty, Ben! What is this?" Anna says.
+
+She points to the stain. Ben looks at it and feels sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. That is chocolate. I ate some yesterday and I forgot to clean my car. I'm sorry," Ben says.
+
+He takes a cloth from the sofa and tries to wipe the stain. But it does not come off. It only makes it worse.
+
+"Oh no! Now your car is more dirty, Ben! And the cloth is dirty too!" Anna says.
+
+She is not happy. She gives the car back to Ben and takes her doll. She does not want to play with the car anymore.
+
+Ben is sad. He likes his car, but he knows he should have cleaned it. He also likes Anna, but he knows he made her unhappy.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry I gave you a dirty car. I'm sorry I made a mess with the cloth. I'm sorry I ruined our play," Ben says.
+
+He looks at Anna with big eyes. He hopes she will forgive him.
+
+Anna looks at Ben. She sees that he is sorry. She remembers that he is her friend. She does not want to be mad at him.
+
+"It's OK, Ben. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you did not mean to. You are still my friend," Anna says.
+
+She smiles and gives him a hug. Ben smiles and hugs her back. They are happy again.
+
+They decide to play with their own toys, but they also share them sometimes. They are careful not to make them dirty. They are good friends.
+Sara loves her dog, Max. Max is big and brown and likes to play. Sara likes to tell Max what to do. She says, "Sit, Max. Stay, Max. Come, Max." Max listens to Sara and does what she says.
+
+One day, Sara and Max go for a walk with Mom. Mom says, "Max, heel. Walk next to me. Don't pull the leash." Max tries to heel, but he sees a cat. He barks and runs after the cat. Sara and Mom try to stop him, but he is too fast. The cat runs away and Max follows.
+
+Sara and Mom are scared. They don't know where Max is. They call his name, but he doesn't come back. They look for him, but they can't find him. They are sad and worried.
+
+Max runs and runs, but he can't catch the cat. He gets lost. He doesn't know where he is. He sees many cars and people and noises. He is scared and lonely. He misses Sara and Mom. He wishes he had listened to them.
+
+He hears a voice. It is Sara. She says, "Max, where are you? Come, Max. Come to me." Max is happy. He sees Sara and Mom. They are looking for him. He runs to them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. They hug him and pet him. They say, "Max, we are so glad you are safe. We love you, Max. But you have to heel. You have to stay with us. Don't run away again." Max nods. He understands. He says, "Woof, woof. I love you, too. I will heel. I will be a good dog." They all smile and walk home. They are quiet and happy.
+Tom and Lily are twins who live in a big house with their mom and dad. They like to play with their toys, read books, and watch cartoons.

They want to see new things and make new friends.
+

They hear the pilot say that they are almost there. Tom and Lily are happy and nervous. They wonder what the new nation will be like.
+
+They land and get off the plane. They see a sign that says "Welcome to India". They follow their mom and dad to a taxi. They drive through a busy street. They see many cars, bikes, cows, and people. They hear horns, bells, music, and words. They smell spices, flowers, and smoke. They feel the sun, the wind, and the dust. Tom and Lily are amazed and confused. They think this nation is very different from theirs.
+
+They arrive at a hotel and check in. They go to their room and unpack. They see a big bed, a TV, a fridge, and a fan. They also see a picture of a man with a beard and glasses. Their mom says that he is Gandhi, a famous leader who helped India become free and peaceful. Tom and Lily are interested and respectful. They want to learn more about him.
+
+They go to the lobby and meet a guide. He says his name is Raj and he will show them around. He says he is flexible and can take them to any place they want. Flexible means he can change his plans easily. Tom and Lily are grateful and friendly. They say they want to see a temple, a market, and a park. Raj says that sounds good and they get in the taxi. They start their adventure in the new nation. They hope to have fun and discover new things.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big purple lion on the grass. It was not a real lion, but a toy lion that someone left behind. Tom and Mia wanted to play with the lion, but they did not want to share.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom said. He ran to the lion and grabbed it.
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Mia said. She ran after Tom and pulled the lion.
+
+They both pulled and pulled, but the lion did not move. They pulled harder and harder, until they heard a loud snap. The lion's head came off and flew in the air. Tom and Mia looked at the broken lion and felt sad.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was the owner of the lion, a little boy named Sam. He was crying and holding his mom's hand.
+
+"That's my lion!" Sam said. "You broke my lion! It was my birthday present!"
+
+Tom and Mia felt sorry for Sam. They realized they were wrong to fight over the lion. They gave the lion's head and body to Sam and said they were sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, Sam. We didn't mean to break your lion. We were selfish and greedy. Can you forgive us?" Tom and Mia said.
+
+Sam looked at them and nodded. He said he forgave them, but he was still sad. His mom said they could try to fix the lion with some glue and tape.
+
+Tom and Mia learned a lesson that day. They learned that sharing is better than fighting, and that they should respect other people's things. They also learned that purple lions are very fragile.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were astronauts, exploring the universe. They had a rocket, a moon, and some stars.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a new planet!" Tom said, holding up a blue ball. "It is very big and has water and clouds."
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a nice planet!" Lily said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Tom gave Lily the ball and she looked at it closely. She saw something shiny on the ball. It looked like a ring.
+
+"What is this, Tom?" Lily asked, pointing at the ring.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a treasure," Tom said.
+
+Lily wanted to find out what the ring was. She opened her mouth and bit the ball. She hoped it would taste good.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried, spitting out the ball. "This is not a treasure, Tom! This is a bad ball! It hurt my teeth!"
+
+Tom looked at the ball and saw a hole where Lily had bitten it. He also saw the ring. It was not a ring, it was a metal clip.
+
+"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. This is not a planet, this is a ball from my dad's bike. He uses the clip to pump air into it. You should not bite it, Lily. It is not food," Tom said.
+
+Lily felt sorry for biting the ball. She also felt sorry for her teeth. They were sore and bleeding.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I did not know it was a bike ball. I thought it was a planet. I was curious," Lily said.
+
+Tom hugged Lily and gave her a tissue. He also gave her his moon toy.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. You were just playing. Here, you can have my moon. It is soft and nice. You can bite it if you want. It will not hurt you," Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled and thanked Tom. She took the moon and hugged it. She did not bite it, though. She learned her lesson. She decided to be more careful when exploring the universe.
+Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She danced with her dolls, with her dog, and with her mom.
+
+One day, she saw a flyer on the wall. It said, "Dance contest for kids. Come and show your moves. Win a prize." Lily was very excited. She wanted to join the contest. She wanted to win the prize. She asked her mom if she could go.
+

+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She ran to her room and put on her favorite dress. It was pink and sparkly. It made her look attractive. She practiced her dance in front of the mirror. She felt confident and happy.
+
+The next day, she went to the contest with her mom. There were many other kids there. They all looked good and danced well. Lily felt nervous. She wondered if she could win.
+
+She waited for her turn. She heard her name. She walked to the stage. She saw the judges and the audience. They all looked at her. She felt scared.
+
+She tried to remember her dance. She tried to smile. She tried to have fun. She started to move. She twirled, she jumped, she spun. She danced with all her heart.
+
+She finished her dance. She heard the applause. She saw the smiles. She felt proud. She bowed and walked off the stage. She saw her mom. She ran to her and hugged her.
+

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a lime under a bush. She showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, a green ball!" she said.
+
+"Can we play with it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, let's throw it and catch it!" Lily said.
+
+They took turns throwing and catching the lime. It was fun and sour. They did not know that the lime belonged to Mr. Fox, who lived next door. He was very mean and did not like children. He had picked the lime from his tree and left it under the bush for later.
+
+Mr. Fox heard the children laughing and playing. He looked out of his window and saw them with his lime. He was very angry. He decided to teach them a lesson. He put on his coat and hat and grabbed his cane. He walked out of his door and towards the fence.
+
+Lily and Ben did not see him coming. They were too busy with the lime. They threw it higher and higher. They did not notice that the lime was getting smaller and smaller. It was losing its juice and skin.
+
+The last time Lily threw the lime, it was very small and light. It flew over the fence and landed in Mr. Fox's garden. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked for it.
+
+"Where is it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, I can't see it!" Ben said.
+
+They heard a loud voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves! What are you doing with my lime?" Mr. Fox shouted.
+
+Lily and Ben turned around and saw him. He was very big and scary. He had a red face and a long nose. He had a cane in his hand and a hat on his head. He looked like a fox.
+
+Lily and Ben were very frightened. They wanted to run away, but they were too scared to move. They did not know what to say.
+
+Mr. Fox came closer and closer. He raised his cane and swung it at them. He hit them hard on their heads. They fell to the ground and did not get up.
+
+Mr. Fox smiled and picked up his lime. He squeezed it in his hand and drank the juice. He licked his lips and said, "That's what you get for stealing my lime. Now, let's see what else you have in your pockets." He searched their pockets and took their toys and candy. He went back to his house and locked the door.
+
+Lily and Ben did not wake up. They did not play in the garden again. They did not see their parents or friends again. They did not have any fun or sour again. They were gone.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pole in the park. The pole is shiny and tall.
+
+"Look, a pole!" Anna says. "Let's play with it!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "What can we do with it?"
+
+Anna thinks. She has an idea. "We can pretend it is a rocket!" she says. "We can go to the moon!"
+
+Ben likes the idea. He nods. "Yes, let's go to the moon!" he says. "How do we get there?"
+
+Anna points to the pole. "We climb the pole!" she says. "Then we count to ten and blast off!"
+
+Anna and Ben run to the pole. They hold it with their hands. They start to climb. They are careful not to fall. They reach the top of the pole. They look at the sky. They see the sun and the clouds and the birds.
+
+"Are you ready?" Anna asks.
+
+"I'm ready!" Ben says.
+
+They count together. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!"
+
+They shout together. "Blast off!"
+
+They pretend the pole is a rocket. They make zooming noises. They imagine they are flying to the moon. They have a lovely time. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily love to play with their toy train. They have a big track that goes around the room. They take turns to push the train and make it go fast or slow.
+
+One day, Tom notices that the train is not working well. It makes a funny noise and stops sometimes. He says to Lily, "I think the train is sick. We need to examine it and fix it."
+
+Lily agrees and they take the train to their table. They use a screwdriver and a flashlight to look inside the train. They see some dust and dirt that make the train cough. They use a cloth and a brush to clean the train. They also put some oil on the wheels and the engine.
+
+They put the train back together and test it on the track. The train runs smoothly and quietly. It does not stop anymore. Tom and Lily are happy. They say to the train, "You are a good train. You are clean and healthy. We will take good care of you."
+
+They hug the train and continue to play with it. They have fun making it go over bridges and tunnels. They pretend they are going to different places. They are glad they examined and fixed the train.

+
+One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his friend Lily. Lily has a black fan that her dad gave her. She says it is very cool and fast. Ben wants to try it, but Lily says no. She says it is her fan and she does not want to share.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "That is not nice, Lily. I let you play with my fan. Why can't I play with yours?" Lily says, "Because it is mine and I like it. Go away, Ben."
+
+Ben starts to cry. His mom hears him and comes over. She asks, "What is wrong, Ben?" Ben tells her what happened. His mom says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Sometimes people don't want to share their things. But that does not mean they are bad. Maybe Lily is afraid you will break her fan or lose it. Maybe she will change her mind later. Why don't you play with something else for now?"
+
+Ben wipes his tears and nods. He sees a ball and a slide nearby. He says, "OK, mom. I will play with the ball and the slide. Maybe Lily will be nicer later." He runs to the ball and kicks it. He feels better. He hopes Lily will let him play with her fan someday. He still likes his blue fan, but he thinks the black fan is very cool and fast too. He wonders what it feels like to hold it. He decides to ask Lily again later, but nicely. Maybe she will say yes. Maybe they can be friends and share their fans. He smiles and plays with the ball. He receives a hug from his mom. He is happy.

+
+The rabbit thought about it and said, "Okay, show me where the food is, and I will not eat you." The cauliflower was happy and showed the rabbit where to find lots of tasty carrots and lettuce. The rabbit ate and ate until it was full.
+
+The rabbit was very grateful and said, "Thank you, lucky cauliflower! You saved me from being hungry!" The cauliflower smiled and said, "You're welcome! I am happy to help my friends." From that day on, the rabbit and the cauliflower became best friends, and they lived happily in the big garden.

+

+
+The fish cried, "Help me, please! I am stuck and cannot swim free."
+
+The navy boat wanted to help the fish, but it didn't know how. Then, it thought of using its flexible body to cut the net. It bent and twisted near the net.

+
+"Hello, who are you?" Tom asked the lion.
+
+"I am Leo, the king of the circus. I can roar very loud and make people clap. Do you want to join us?" the lion said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He liked to roar, but he did not know what a circus was. He did not know if he would like it.
+
+"What do you do in the circus?" Tom asked.
+
+"We do tricks and stunts. We jump through hoops, balance on balls, ride bikes, and wear funny hats. It is fun, but sometimes hard. We have to listen to the ringmaster and do what he says. He has a whip and a chair. He can be mean," the lion said.
+
+Tom did not like the sound of that. He did not want to do tricks and stunts. He did not want to wear funny hats. He did not want to listen to a mean man with a whip and a chair. He wanted to be free and happy.
+
+"Thank you, but no thank you. I do not want to join the circus. I want to stay in the zoo. I have friends here. I have a home here. I have a life here," Tom said.
+
+The lion shrugged. He did not understand why Tom did not want to join the circus. He thought it was the best thing in the world. He said goodbye to Tom and went back to the truck.

+Ben does not like the green banana. He spits it out and throws it away. He runs to his mom and asks for a yellow banana. Mom smiles and gives him a ripe banana. Ben examines it and sees that it is yellow, soft, and sweet. He eats it and is happy. He has learned something new about bananas.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowballs and throw them at each other. They laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big hill with a lot of snow. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big cardboard box and use it as a sled. They climb on the box and hold on tight.
+
+"Are you ready?" Ben asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, I am ready!" Mia says.
+
+They push the box and it starts to slide down the hill. It goes very fast and makes a loud noise. They feel the icy wind on their faces. They scream and giggle.
+
+But then, they see a problem. There is a fence at the end of the hill. The box is going to hit the fence. They are scared.
+
+"Shoot! What do we do?" Ben says.
+
+"I don't know! Hold on!" Mia says.
+
+They try to steer the box away from the fence, but it is too late. The box crashes into the fence and breaks. Ben and Mia fly out of the box and land in the snow. They are not hurt, but they are very cold and wet.
+
+They look at each other and start to laugh. They are happy that they are okay. They hug each other and say:
+
+"That was a crazy test!"
+
+"Yes, it was! But it was also fun!"
+
+They get up and walk back to their houses. They decide to play something else next time. They are still friends.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. He says to Jen, "Let's go on the slide. It looks fun."
+
+Jen is scared. She says, "No, Tom. The slide is too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves."
+
+Tom says, "Don't be scared, Jen. I will go first and show you. It is easy and fast. You will like it."
+
+Jen nods. She thinks Tom is brave. She waits for Tom to go on the slide.
+
+Tom climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He says, "Look, Jen. I am going to slide down. Watch me."
+
+He pushes himself down the slide. He goes very fast. He feels happy. He smiles.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Tom does not see a big rock at the end of the slide. He hits the rock with his head. He falls off the slide. He cries.
+
+Jen sees Tom. She is shocked. She runs to Tom. She says, "Tom, are you okay? I am sorry. I should have stopped you."
+
+Tom is not okay. He is bleeding. He is hurt. He says, "Jen, I am sorry. I should have listened to you. You were right. The slide was too high. It was not fun. It was dangerous."
+
+Jen and Tom hug. They are sad. They wait for help.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful when you play. Listen to your friends. Do not do things that are too risky.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the farm. They loved to see the animals, especially the sheep. The sheep were soft and white and made funny noises.
+
+One day, they saw a new sheep in the field. It was different from the other sheep. It had long curly hair and a shiny collar. It looked very fancy.
+
+"Wow, look at that sheep!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I want to pet it."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "But maybe it is not friendly. It seems to be alone."
+
+They walked slowly towards the fancy sheep. The other sheep moved away from it. The fancy sheep saw them and baaed loudly.
+
+"Hello, sheep," Lily said. "Can we be your friends?"
+
+The fancy sheep baaed again. It shook its head and ran away.
+
+"Why did it do that?" Tom asked. "We were nice to it."
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is shy. Or maybe it thinks it is better than us."
+
+They felt sad and confused. They did not understand why the fancy sheep did not want to play with them. They decided to go back to the other sheep. The other sheep were happy to see them. They let them pet them and feed them. They baaed softly and cuddled with them.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They realized that the fancy sheep was not very fun. They liked the other sheep more. They were friendly and sweet. They did not care about being fancy. They only cared about being happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play games. Today they play hide and seek. Tom is the seeker. He counts to ten. Mia runs and hides behind a big tree.
+
+Tom opens his eyes. He looks for Mia. He sees her feet under the tree. He runs to the tree and says, "I found you, Mia! I win!"
+
+Mia comes out from behind the tree. She is not sad. She smiles and says, "You are good at finding, Tom. You win!"
+
+Tom and Mia hug. They are happy. They are good friends.
+
+But then they feel cold. The wind blows. The sky is gray. They hear thunder. They see rain.
+
+They run to Tom's house. They go inside. They are warm and dry. They play with Tom's toys. They have fun. They are happy. They are good friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the red car.
+
+"I saw it first!" Anna says. She tries to reach for the car, but Ben is faster. He grabs it and runs away.
+
+"Give it back!" Anna shouts. She runs after him, but he is too quick. He hides behind the sofa in the living room.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He holds the car close to his chest.
+
+Anna is angry. She looks around the living room. She sees a big vase with flowers on the table. She has an idea. She climbs on a chair and tries to reach for the vase.
+
+"Anna, no!" Ben says. He sees what she is doing. He is scared. He knows the vase is very important to their parent. Their parent says it is very old and very pretty. Ben thinks it is very ugly, but he does not say that.
+
+"Give me the car, or I will break the vase!" Anna says. She holds the vase in her hands. She is ready to throw it.
+
+"Anna, stop!" Ben says. He does not want to lose the car, but he does not want to make their parent sad. He does not know what to do.
+
+Just then, their parent comes into the living room. Their parent sees Anna with the vase and Ben with the car. Their parent is very angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" their parent says. Their parent takes the vase from Anna and the car from Ben. Their parent puts the vase back on the table and the car in a box.
+
+"You are both in big trouble!" their parent says. "You do not fight over toys. You do not touch the vase. You do not run in the house. You do not make a mess. You do not make me mad. You go to your room right now. No more toys for today."
+
+Anna and Ben are very sorry. They say sorry to their parent. They say sorry to each other. They go to their room. They hug and make up. They promise to share and be nice. They hope their parent will forgive them. They hope they can play with the car again. They still think the vase is ugly.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Me first!" Anna says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She laughs and claps her hands.
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. He follows Anna and slides down. He smiles and jumps up.
+
+They take turns sliding and having fun. But then, another boy comes to the slide. He is bigger and older than Anna and Ben. He pushes them away and says, "This is my slide. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and scared. They frown and look at their moms. Their moms see what is happening and come to help.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Anna's mom says to the boy. "You have to share the slide with others. It's not yours."
+
+The boy makes a mean face and says, "No, I don't. I was here first. You go away!"
+
+Ben's mom says to the boy, "That's not true. Anna and Ben were here before you. You have to wait your turn. And you have to be polite and kind."
+
+The boy sticks out his tongue and says, "No, I don't. I do what I want. You are stupid!"
+
+Anna and Ben are very angry and hurt. They open their mouths and say, "No, you are stupid! You are mean! You are a bully!"
+
+The boy laughs and says, "Ha, ha, ha! You are babies! You are silly! You are scared!"
+
+Anna and Ben are quiet. They don't know what to say. They feel bad and want to go home.
+
+Their moms hug them and say, "Don't listen to him. He is wrong. You are smart and nice and brave. You are our friends. We love you."
+
+Anna and Ben smile and say, "Thank you. We love you too. We are sorry for yelling."
+
+Their moms say, "It's okay. We understand. You were defending yourselves. But next time, try to use your words, not your shouts. And if someone is rude to you, you can walk away and find another game. Or you can ask for help from an adult. Okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay. We will try."
+
+Their moms say, "Good. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yay! Ice cream! That sounds great!"
+
+They hold hands and walk to the ice cream truck. They forget about the boy and the slide. They are happy and friends again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside.
+
+They look in the hole and see something shiny. They reach in and pull out a big balloon. It is red and yellow and blue. It has a string on it. They are happy. They have a balloon.
+
+They run to the swings and tie the balloon to a swing. They push the swing and watch the balloon go high in the sky. They laugh and clap. They have fun.
+
+They celebrate with the balloon. They sing a song and dance around. They share a cookie and a juice. They hug each other and the balloon. They are friends. They are happy. They have a balloon.
+Lily liked to draw with ink. She had many colors of ink and many papers. She drew flowers and stars and cats and dogs. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He had a book and a pen. He was writing with ink. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what he was writing.
+
+She walked to the bench and said, "Hello. What are you writing?"
+
+The boy looked up and saw Lily. He was shy. He did not talk to many people. He said, "Hello. I am writing a story. It is about a dragon and a princess."
+
+Lily liked stories. She said, "Can I hear your story?"
+
+The boy nodded. He was happy that someone wanted to hear his story. He said, "Sure. Sit with me. I will read it to you."
+
+Lily sat with the boy. He read his story to her. She listened and smiled. She liked his story. She said, "Your story is good. I like your ink. It is blue. Blue is my favorite color."
+
+The boy smiled too. He said, "Thank you. I like your ink too. It is pink. Pink is my favorite color."
+
+They became friends. They shared their ink and their stories. They had fun. They were not shy anymore.
+Tim and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their houses. The park had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Tim and Mia loved to make sand castles in the sandbox. They used colorful shells and stones to decorate their castles.
+
+One day, a mean boy came to the park. His name was Max. He saw Tim and Mia's sand castles and wanted to destroy them. He kicked the sand and threw the shells and stones away. Tim and Mia were very sad and angry. They told Max to stop, but he did not listen. He laughed and said, "Your sand castles are ugly and stupid. I can make better ones."
+
+Tim and Mia tried to prevent Max from ruining their sand castles. They ran to the slide and the swing and hid their shells and stones there. They hoped Max would not find them. But Max was very clever and sneaky. He followed them and saw where they hid their shells and stones. He waited until they were not looking and took them all.
+
+Tim and Mia came back to the sandbox and saw that Max had taken their shells and stones. They also saw that Max had made a huge sand castle in the east corner of the sandbox. It was bigger and fancier than theirs. It had towers and walls and flags and windows. It was very colorful and shiny. Max was very proud and happy. He said, "Look at my sand castle. It is the best sand castle in the world. You can never make one like this."
+
+Tim and Mia felt very bad. They wanted to cry. They wanted to knock down Max's sand castle. But they knew that would be wrong. They decided to leave the park and go home. They said goodbye to each other and walked away. But as they were leaving, they saw something that made them stop. A big dog had entered the park. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. It saw Max's sand castle and ran towards it. It smelled the shells and stones and wanted to play with them. It jumped on the sand castle and started to dig and bite and bark. It destroyed Max's sand castle in seconds. It made a big mess. Max was very shocked and scared. He screamed and ran away. The dog chased him out of the park.
+
+Tim and Mia watched the dog and Max. They felt a little sorry for Max, but they also felt a little happy. They thought that maybe Max had learned a lesson. They thought that maybe he would not be mean to them again. They smiled and hugged each other. They said, "Maybe we can make new sand castles tomorrow. Maybe we can use different shells and stones. Maybe we can make them in the west corner of the sandbox. Maybe the dog will not come back." They hoped that their wishes would come true. But they did not know that the dog belonged to the park keeper. And the park keeper came to the park every day. And he always brought his dog with him. And his dog always liked to play in the sandbox. And he always liked to destroy sand castles. Especially colorful ones.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big bird in the sky. It is white and has long wings. It flies very high and fast.
+
+"Look, Lila, look!" Ben says. "A bird!"
+
+"I see it, Ben, I see it!" Lila says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+They watch the bird as it swoops and glides. It is graceful and smooth. They notice that the bird has something in its beak. It is shiny and red.
+
+"What is that, Lila, what is that?" Ben asks. "Is it a toy?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben, I don't know!" Lila says. "Maybe it is a ball?"
+
+They follow the bird with their eyes. They see that the bird is flying to a big tree. They run to the tree and look up. They see a nest on a branch. The bird lands on the nest and drops the shiny thing.
+
+"Wow, Lila, wow!" Ben says. "The bird has a nest!"
+
+"Wow, Ben, wow!" Lila says. "The bird has a baby!"
+
+They see a small bird peek out of the nest. It is white and fluffy. It opens its mouth and makes a noise. The big bird gives the shiny thing to the small bird. The small bird eats it.
+
+"Yuck, Lila, yuck!" Ben says. "The shiny thing is not a toy or a ball!"
+
+"Yuck, Ben, yuck!" Lila says. "The shiny thing is a button!"
+
+They notice that the button is from someone's clothes. They look around and see a man on a bench. He is reading a book. He has a hole in his shirt.
+
+"Oops, Lila, oops!" Ben says. "The bird took the man's button!"
+
+"Oops, Ben, oops!" Lila says. "The man does not know!"
+
+They giggle and run away. They think the bird is funny and clever. They think the man is silly and clueless. They go back to playing in the park. They have fun.
+Sam and Mia liked to play games. They were very competitive. They always wanted to win. One day, they played a game of hide and seek. Sam was the seeker and Mia was the hider.
+
+Mia ran around the house, looking for a good place to hide. She saw the freezer in the kitchen. She opened the door and climbed inside. She thought Sam would never find her there. She closed the door and waited.
+
+Sam counted to ten and then started to look for Mia. He checked the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, but he could not find her. He wondered where she was. He went to the kitchen and saw the freezer. He heard a small sound from inside. He opened the door and saw Mia.
+
+"Mia, I found you!" he said. "You are in the freezer!"
+
+Mia was very cold. She shivered and said, "Sam, help me out! I am stuck!"
+
+Sam pulled Mia out of the freezer. He hugged her and said, "Mia, you are silly. You should not hide in the freezer. It is too cold and dangerous. You could get sick or hurt."
+
+Mia felt sorry. She said, "I am sorry, Sam. I wanted to win the game. I did not think about the cold or the danger. I was too competitive."
+
+Sam said, "It is okay, Mia. I am sorry too. I wanted to win the game too. I did not think about how you felt. I was too competitive too. Next time, let us play a different game. A game that is fun and safe for both of us."
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Yes, Sam. Let us do that. You are a good brother. You solved the problem and helped me out."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "You are a good sister. You learned from your mistake and said sorry. Come on, let us go and have some hot chocolate. It will warm you up."
+
+They held hands and went to the living room. They drank hot chocolate and played a new game. A game that they both enjoyed. They were not competitive anymore. They were happy.
+Sam liked to play basketball with his friends. He had a big ball that bounced and a hoop that he could throw the ball into. He was good at basketball and he had fun.
+
+One day, Sam wanted to play basketball with his friends at the park. He asked his mom if he could go. His mom said yes, but he had to prepare first. She said he had to eat his lunch, put on his shoes, and bring his water bottle. Sam did not want to prepare. He wanted to go right away. He said he was not hungry, he did not need shoes, and he did not want water. He grabbed his ball and ran out the door.
+
+Sam got to the park and saw his friends. They were happy to see him and they started to play. Sam was glad to play basketball with his friends. He threw the ball and made many baskets. He ran and jumped and laughed.
+
+But soon, Sam felt tired. He felt hungry and thirsty. His feet hurt because he did not wear shoes. He wished he had listened to his mom and prepared. He could not play well anymore. He missed the baskets and he fell down. His friends asked him if he was okay. He said he was not okay. He said he wanted to go home.
+
+Sam walked home with his ball. He was sad and sorry. He saw his mom waiting for him. She looked worried. She asked him what happened. He told her he did not prepare. He told her he was hungry, thirsty, and hurt. He said he was sorry. His mom hugged him and said she was glad he was home. She said she loved him and she forgave him. She said he could prepare better next time. She gave him some lunch, some water, and some band-aids. She helped him put on his shoes. She said he could rest and then play again later. Sam thanked his mom and said he loved her too. He learned his lesson. He learned that preparing is important and that listening to his mom is smart. He was glad he had a mom who cared for him. He was glad he had friends who played with him. He was glad he had a ball and a hoop. He was glad he could play basketball.
+Sara and Ben love to play soccer. They have a big ball and two goals in the park. They like to kick the ball and try to score. Sara is very good at soccer. She can run fast and shoot hard. Ben is not so good. He is slow and misses a lot.
+
+One day, they play soccer with some other kids. Sara is on the red team and Ben is on the blue team. The red team is winning. Sara scores many goals. She is happy. She shouts, "I am the best! I am famous!"
+
+Ben is sad. He wants to score too. He tries hard, but he cannot. The other kids laugh at him. They say, "You are the worst! You are silly!"
+
+Ben feels angry. He does not like Sara. He does not like the red team. He does not like soccer. He wants to stop playing. He looks at his watch. He sees that it is time to go home. He hears his mom ring the bell. She is waiting for him.
+
+He runs to his mom. He leaves the ball and the goals. He does not say goodbye to Sara or the other kids. He does not care. He just wants to go home.
+
+Sara sees Ben run away. She is surprised. She does not understand. She thinks Ben is rude. She does not like Ben. She does not like the blue team. She does not like soccer. She wants to keep playing. She looks at her watch. She sees that it is time to go home. She does not hear her mom ring the bell. She does not know that her mom is waiting for her.
+
+She keeps playing. She scores more goals. She is happy. She shouts, "I am the best! I am famous!"
+
+But no one hears her. No one claps. No one cheers. No one smiles. The other kids are gone. The park is empty. The ball is lonely. The goals are silent.
+
+Sara is alone. She is sad. She does not know what to do. She does not know where to go. She does not know that her mom is worried. She does not know that her mom is looking for her.
+
+She does not know that she is in trouble.
+Tom and Lily wanted to play with their new toy. It was a big machine that could record sounds and play them back. They could make funny noises and hear them again.
+
+But they only had one machine, and they both wanted to use it. Tom was impatient. He grabbed the machine from Lily and said, "It's my turn! I want to record my voice!"
+
+Lily was sad. She said, "No, it's not fair! You had it for a long time! I want to record my voice too!"
+
+They started to fight over the machine. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not listen to each other.
+
+Then, something bad happened. The machine fell to the floor and broke. It made a loud noise and stopped working. Tom and Lily were shocked. They looked at the broken machine and felt sorry.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She saw the mess and asked, "What happened here? Who broke the machine?"
+
+Tom and Lily did not know what to say. They felt ashamed. They knew they had been selfish and rude.
+
+They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were fighting over the machine. We wanted to record our voice. We did not share."
+
+Mom was disappointed. She said, "You should have been more careful and respectful. The machine was a gift from your grandma. She wanted you to have fun and learn. But you wasted it by being impatient and greedy. Now you have nothing to play with."
+
+Tom and Lily realized their mistake. They said, "You're right, mom. We were wrong. We should have taken turns and listened to each other. We should have been thankful and happy. We're sorry, grandma. We're sorry, mom."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you understand. I hope you learned your lesson. Maybe you can fix the machine later. But for now, you have to help me with the chores. You can start by washing the squash for dinner."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They followed mom to the kitchen. They washed the squash and helped her cut it. They talked and laughed and said sorry to each other. They felt better.
+
+They learned that sharing is caring, and that being impatient and greedy can lead to trouble. They also learned that squash is yummy.
+Lily and Tom 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.
+
+But then the wind started to blow. It was very cold. Lily and Tom shivered. They wanted to go home. But they could not find their way. The snow was heavy and white. They could not see their house.
+
+"Tom, I'm scared," Lily said. "Me too," Tom said. "What can we do?"
+
+Tom remembered he had a match in his pocket. He took it out and lit it. It made a small flame. It was warm and bright.
+
+"Look, Lily, a match!" Tom said. "Maybe we can use it to find our way."
+
+They held the match together and walked slowly. They looked for a sign or a light. But the match was small and soon it burned out. They were in the dark again.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They wished someone would find them. They prayed for help.
+
+Then they heard a sound. It was a bark. It was their dog, Spot. He had followed their tracks in the snow. He came to them and licked their faces. He wagged his tail.
+
+"Spot, you found us!" Lily and Tom said. They were very happy. They hugged their dog and thanked him.
+
+Spot led them back to their house. Their mom and dad were waiting for them. They were very worried. They hugged them and kissed them. They gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They wrapped them in blankets.

+
+He gently picks up the bird and puts it on the table. He wipes the blood from its head and feathers. He talks to the bird in a soft voice. He says, "Don't be scared. I will take care of you. You will be okay."

+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a razor in the bathroom. It is shiny and bright. They want to play with it.
+
+"Let me have it!" Ben says. He grabs the razor from Sam.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says. He pulls the razor back.
+
+They disagree. They start to fight. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears them. She runs to the bathroom. She sees the razor in their hands.
+
+"Stop!" Mom says. "That is not a toy. That is a razor. It is sharp and dangerous. It can hurt you."
+
+She takes the razor from them. She puts it away. She hugs them.
+
+"I am sorry, Mom," Ben says.
+
+"Me too, Mom," Sam says.

+
+"Can I hold your doll?" Ben asks Anna.
+
+"OK, but be careful. She is my favorite doll," Anna says.
+
+Ben takes the doll and looks at it. He sees a button on the doll's back. He pushes the button. The doll makes a loud noise. It says a message.
+
+"I am a silly doll. I fart and burp. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Ben laughs. He thinks the message is funny. He pushes the button again and again. The doll makes more noises.
+
+Anna is angry. She does not think the message is funny. She thinks the message is rude. She wants Ben to stop.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! That is not nice. Give me back my doll!" Anna says.
+
+"No, I like the doll. She is funny. Listen!" Ben says. He pushes the button again.
+
+Anna is very angry. She grabs the doll from Ben. She hits Ben with the doll. Ben cries. He drops the doll. The doll breaks. Anna cries too. She is sad and sorry. She did not mean to break the doll.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I did not mean to hurt you. I did not mean to break the doll. I was angry. Can you forgive me?" Anna says.
+
+Ben is hurt and sad. He is also embarrassed. He did not mean to make Anna angry. He did not know the message was rude. He was just having fun.
+
+"I am sorry, Anna. I did not mean to make you angry. I did not know the message was rude. I was just having fun. Can you forgive me?" Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They are still friends. They hug and say sorry. They forgive each other. They pick up the doll and try to fix it. They play with blocks and dolls. They are happy again.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. Sara saw a big green plant with many leaves. She picked some and said, "This is a herb. It smells good. Do you want some, Tom?"
+
+Tom came closer and sniffed the herb. He made a face and said, "No, thank you. It smells bad. I don't like it."
+
+Sara shrugged and put the herb in her pocket. She said, "Maybe we can use it for cooking later. Let's go and find more things."
+
+They walked around the garden and saw a small pond. There were fish and frogs in the water. Sara and Tom were curious and wanted to touch them. They leaned over the edge of the pond and reached out their hands.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark behind them. They turned around and saw a big dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. Sara and Tom were frightened and screamed. They wanted to run away, but they were too close to the pond.
+
+The dog came closer and closer. It jumped and tried to bite them. Sara and Tom felt a splash of water on their faces. They looked and saw a frog on the dog's nose. The frog had jumped out of the pond and landed on the dog. The dog was surprised and stopped barking. It shook its head and tried to get rid of the frog.
+
+Sara and Tom saw their chance and ran away from the pond. They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened the door and saw them. They were wet and scared. They told her what happened and showed her the herb.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're safe. That was a brave frog. It saved you from the dog. And this is a nice herb. It's mint. We can use it for tea. Come on, let's go inside and have some tea. You can tell me more about your adventure."
+Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to collect things. They had a big box in the garage where they put their toys, rocks, shells, and other things they found. One day, they saw a shiny metal thing on the street. It looked like a car, but smaller and with no wheels.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sam said. "Let's take it to our box!"
+
+"But it's too heavy," Tom said. "We can't lift it."
+
+"Yes, we can," Sam said. "We just need to push it."
+
+So they tried to push the metal thing, but it was very hard. They pushed and pushed, but it barely moved. They got tired and sweaty, and their hands hurt.
+
+"Let's stop," Tom said. "This is no fun."
+
+"No, we can't stop," Sam said. "We have to get it to our box. It's ours now."
+
+They kept pushing, but they didn't see the big car coming down the street. The driver didn't see them either, because the metal thing was blocking his view. He honked his horn, but it was too late. He hit the metal thing, and it flew into the air. It landed on Sam and Tom, and crushed them.
+
+The driver got out of his car, and saw what he had done. He was very sad and scared. He called for help, but it was too late. Sam and Tom were gone. Their box in the garage was empty.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their train set. They have a big train with a red engine and many cars. They also have a thick book with pictures of different trains. They look at the book and try to make their train look like the ones in the book.
+
+One day, they see a new train in the book. It is a long train with a blue engine and a yellow caboose. It has many animals in the cars. There are lions, elephants, giraffes, and monkeys. Tom and Mia think the train is very cool. They want to make their train look like the animal train.
+
+They look for their animal toys. They have a lion, an elephant, a giraffe, and a monkey. They put them in the cars of their train. They are happy with their train. They make the train go around the track. They make the animal noises. They have fun.
+
+But then, they have a problem. The train is too long for the track. The caboose does not fit. It falls off the track. The monkey falls out of the car. Tom and Mia are sad. They do not know what to do.
+
+They shout for their mom. Mom comes to see what is wrong. She sees the train and the book. She sees the caboose and the monkey on the floor. She smiles. She says, "You made a very nice train. But it is too long for the track. Why don't you take out some cars and make two trains? Then you can have more space and more fun."
+
+Tom and Mia think that is a good idea. They take out some cars and make two trains. They put the animals in the trains. They make the trains go around the track. They make the animal noises. They have fun. They thank their mom. Mom hugs them. She says, "You are very clever and creative. I am proud of you." Tom and Mia are happy. They love their trains. They love their mom.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to draw. They had many pencils of different colors. One day, they saw a big white wall in the park. They thought it would be fun to draw on it.
+
+"Let's make a picture on the wall," Tim said.
+
+"But that is not our wall," Kim said. "We should not draw on it."
+
+"Who will know?" Tim said. "I dare you to do it with me."
+
+Kim was scared, but she did not want to seem weak. She took a pencil and followed Tim. They started to draw on the wall. They drew flowers, animals, and stars.
+
+Soon, a man came by. He was the owner of the wall. He was very angry. He saw Tim and Kim and their pencils.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing?" he shouted. "You are ruining my wall!"
+
+Tim and Kim dropped their pencils and ran away. They were very sorry. They knew they did a bad thing.
+
+They went home and told their mom what happened. She was not happy. She said they had to go back and say sorry to the man. She said they had to help him clean the wall. She said they had to learn to respect other people's things.
+
+Tim and Kim felt ashamed. They did what their mom said. They went back to the park and found the man. They said sorry to him and helped him clean the wall. It took a long time and it was hard work.
+
+The man was still angry, but he saw that Tim and Kim were sorry. He said he forgave them. He said he hoped they would not do it again. He said he liked to draw too, but he used paper, not walls.
+
+Tim and Kim thanked him and promised to be good. They learned their lesson. They decided to only draw on paper or on their own walls. They realized that it was more peaceful and fun to draw without hurting anyone. They hugged each other and went home with their mom. They were happy.
+Tom is a curious boy. He likes to look at many things. He likes to touch many things. He likes to ask many things.
+
+One day, Tom sees a plant in a pot. The plant has green leaves and red flowers. Tom thinks the plant is pretty. He wants to know more about the plant.
+
+He goes to the plant and touches the leaves. They are soft and smooth. He touches the flowers. They are bright and warm. He smells the flowers. They are sweet and nice.
+
+He sees a small thing on the flower. It is a bee. The bee is yellow and black. It has wings and a sting. Tom wants to catch the bee. He reaches for the bee.
+
+But the bee does not want to be caught. The bee flies away. Tom follows the bee. He tries to grab the bee. He does not see the pot. He trips on the pot. He falls on the plant.
+
+He tears the plant. The leaves and the flowers fall off. The plant is broken. The pot is broken. The soil is everywhere.
+
+Tom is sad. He hurt the plant. He hurt the pot. He hurt the soil. He did not catch the bee.
+
+He hears a voice. It is his mom. She sees the mess. She sees Tom. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" she asks.
+
+Tom looks at his mom. He looks at the plant. He looks at the pot. He looks at the soil. He does not know what to say.
+
+He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious."
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. Anna had a doll with a pretty bow in her hair. Ben had a car that made loud noises. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what their mom was doing in the kitchen.
+
+"Let's go and see mom," Anna said. "Maybe she has a snack for us."
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But we have to bring our toys with us. We don't want them to disappear."
+
+They ran to the kitchen, holding their toys. Mom was making a cake. It smelled good.
+
+"Hi, mom," Anna and Ben said. "What are you doing?"
+
+"I'm making a cake for your dad's birthday," mom said. "It's a surprise. Do you want to help me?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They put their toys on the table and helped mom with the cake. They mixed the batter, poured it into the pan, and put it in the oven.
+
+"Wow, mom, you are impressive," Anna said. "You make the best cakes."
+
+"Thank you, sweetie," mom said. "You and Ben are very helpful. I'm proud of you."
+
+They waited for the cake to bake. They sang songs and told jokes. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Then, the timer rang. The cake was ready.
+
+"Let's take it out and decorate it," mom said. "But be careful, it's hot."
+
+They put the cake on a rack and let it cool. Then, they spread frosting and sprinkles on it. They wrote "Happy Birthday Dad" with icing. They put candles on it.
+
+"It's beautiful," Ben said. "Dad will love it."
+
+"Let's go and hide it in the living room," mom said. "We'll surprise him when he comes home."
+
+They carried the cake to the living room and put it behind the couch. They went back to the kitchen to get their toys.
+
+But when they got there, they saw something terrible. Their toys were gone!
+
+"Where are our toys?" Anna cried. "Who took them?"
+
+They looked around the kitchen. They saw a trail of crumbs on the floor. They followed it to the back door. They opened it and saw a big dog. The dog had Anna's doll in his mouth. He had ripped off the bow and chewed on the hair. He had Ben's car in his paws. He had scratched the paint and broken the wheels. He looked at them and wagged his tail.
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben shouted. "Give us back our toys!"
+
+The dog barked and ran away. He took their toys with him. Anna and Ben were very sad. They had lost their toys.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna, I'm sorry, Ben," mom said. "I didn't know there was a dog outside. He must have sneaked in when we were busy with the cake. He was hungry and curious. He thought your toys were food and toys for him."
+
+"But mom, those were our toys," Anna said. "We loved them. We can't play with them anymore."
+
+"I know, sweetie, I know," mom said. "But you know what? You still have something more important than toys. You have each other. You have me and dad. You have love and family. Those are the things that really matter. Those are the things that never disappear."
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged her back.
+
+"You're right, mom," Ben said. "We love you. We love dad. We love each other. We are happy."
+
+They smiled and wiped their tears. They heard dad's car in the driveway.
+
+"Quick, let's go and surprise him with the cake," mom said. "He'll be so happy to see you and your impressive cake."
+
+They ran to the living room and hid behind the couch. They waited for dad to come in. They heard him open the door and say hello.
+
+"Surprise!" they shouted. They jumped out and showed him the cake.
+
+"Wow, what a wonderful cake!" dad said. "Did you make it for me?"
+
+"Yes, we did," Anna and Ben said. "Happy birthday, dad. We love you."
+
+They hugged him and kissed him. He hugged them back.
+
+"I love you too," dad said. "You are the best gift I ever had. Thank you for the cake. It looks delicious."
+
+They lit the candles and sang happy birthday. They blew them out and cut the cake. They ate it and enjoyed it. They laughed and talked. They had a great time.
+
+They forgot about their toys. They remembered their love. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with rocks. They had many rocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to make piles of rocks, or draw on rocks, or pretend they were food.
+
+One day, they found a big rock that was shiny and smooth. It was the most beautiful rock they had ever seen. They both wanted to have it.
+
+"Let me have it!" Ben said. "It is my rock!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They started to pull the rock from each other. They were not happy.
+
+A bird flew by and saw them. The bird was wise and kind. He landed on a branch and spoke to them.
+
+"Why are you fighting over a rock?" he asked. "There are many rocks in the world. But there is only one Ben and one Lily. You are friends. You should share and be nice to each other."
+
+Ben and Lily stopped and looked at the bird. They felt ashamed. They realized the bird was right. They did not want to lose their friendship over a rock.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They said they were sorry. They decided to change their minds and share the rock. They thanked the bird for his advice.
+
+They took the rock and played with it together. They made it a crown, a cake, a ball, and a boat. They had fun and laughed. They were happy.
+
+The bird watched them and smiled. He was glad he helped them. He flew away and sang a song. He was a popular bird. Everyone liked him. He was a good bird.
+Tom is a little boy who likes to sleep a lot. He has a big bed with a soft pillow and a warm blanket. He likes to dream about cars and planes and animals. But one morning, he does not want to wake up. He hears his mom call his name, but he pretends he does not hear.
+
+"Tom, it is time to wake up. You have to go to school today. Come on, get up, sleepyhead." His mom says.
+
+Tom pulls the blanket over his head and closes his eyes. He thinks maybe his mom will go away and let him sleep more. But his mom does not go away. She comes into his room and pulls the blanket off him. She tickles his neck and makes him laugh.
+
+"Stop, stop, mom. That tickles. I want to sleep more." Tom says.
+
+"No, you can't sleep more. You have to get ready. Look, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. It is a beautiful day. Don't you want to see your friends and learn new things?" His mom says.
+
+Tom opens his eyes and sees his mom smiling at him. He sees the sun and the birds through the window. He thinks maybe his mom is right. Maybe it is a beautiful day. Maybe he does want to see his friends and learn new things.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will wake up. But can I have a hug first?" Tom says.
+
+"Of course, my sweet boy. You can have a hug. I love you very much." His mom says.
+
+She hugs him tight and kisses his cheek. Tom feels happy and warm. He hugs her back and kisses her cheek. He gets out of bed and puts on his clothes. He brushes his teeth and combs his hair. He is ready to go to school.
+
+He takes his backpack and follows his mom to the car. He waves goodbye to his bed and his pillow and his blanket. He thinks maybe he will dream about them later. But now he is awake and excited. He wonders what he will do and see and learn today. He hopes it will be fun and deep. He likes fun and deep things. He likes to wake up.
+Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big rat near the trash can. The rat had brown fur and a long tail. It was eating a banana peel.
+
+"Look, a rat!" Tim said. He pointed at the rat.
+
+"Yuck, a rat!" Mia said. She made a face. "Let's go away. Rats are bad."
+
+But Tim was curious. He wanted to see the rat better. He walked closer to the trash can. He whistled softly. He hoped the rat would come to him.
+
+"Tim, don't do that!" Mia said. She was scared. "The rat might bite you. Come back!"
+
+But the rat did not bite Tim. The rat was modest. It did not like noise or people. It heard Tim's whistle and ran away. It hid under a bush.
+
+Tim was disappointed. He wanted to play with the rat. He thought the rat was cute.
+
+"Mia, the rat is gone," Tim said. He came back to Mia. "It was not bad. It was shy."
+
+Mia shook her head. She did not like rats. She liked cats and dogs. She took Tim's hand.
+
+"Let's go play somewhere else," Mia said. "There are no rats on the slide."
+
+Tim nodded. He followed Mia. He still liked rats, but he liked Mia more. He decided to whistle another day.
+Sara was sad. She hurt her leg when she fell from her bike. She could not run or play with her friends. She had to stay in bed and rest. Her mom gave her a band-aid and a hug. She said, "Your leg will heal soon. Don't worry."
+
+Sara wanted to heal faster. She asked her mom, "Can I do yoga with you?" Her mom smiled. She said, "Yoga is good for your body and your mind. It can help you heal. But you have to be careful and gentle. Yoga is not a game. It is a rare and special way to move and breathe."
+
+Sara and her mom did yoga together. They stretched and twisted and balanced. They made funny shapes with their bodies. They breathed deeply and slowly. Sara felt calm and happy. She forgot about her pain. She said, "I like yoga. It makes me feel good. Can we do it every day?" Her mom said, "Yes, we can. Yoga is a gift. It can heal us and make us strong." They hugged and thanked each other. Sara felt better. She hoped her leg would heal soon. She wanted to run and play with her friends again. But she also wanted to do yoga with her mom again. She learned something new and rare. She learned to love yoga.
+Ben liked to fly. He had a belt that made him fly. It was a gift from his dad, who was a pilot. Ben felt happy when he wore the belt and flew in the air. He felt like a bird.
+
+One day, Ben saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked impressive. Ben wanted to fly near the balloon and touch it. He put on his belt and flew up, up, up.
+
+"Ben, come back!" his mom shouted. "The balloon is not for you. It is dangerous. You could get hurt."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He flew closer and closer to the balloon. He reached out his hand and touched the balloon. It was soft and smooth.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The balloon popped. It made a loud noise. Ben was scared. He fell down, down, down. His belt did not work. He screamed.
+
+His mom ran to him. She was crying. She hugged him. But it was too late. Ben was hurt. He did not fly anymore.
+Lily likes to write. She writes on paper, on walls, on books. She writes her name, her mom's name, her cat's name. She writes big and small, with crayons, with pens, with paint. She writes every day.
+
+But one day, Lily finds a new thing to write with. It is a red stick. It looks like a crayon, but it is not. It is a match. Lily does not know what a match is. She thinks it is a crayon. She takes the match and tries to write on the wall.
+
+But the match does not write. It makes a fire. The fire is hot and bright. It makes a noise. It makes smoke. Lily is scared. She drops the match. The match falls on the rug. The rug catches fire. The fire grows bigger and bigger.
+
+Lily runs to her mom. She cries. She says, "Mom, mom, I tried to write with a crayon, but it was not a crayon, it was a fire stick, and it made a fire, and the fire is on the wall, and the rug, and the books, and the cat!"
+
+Her mom is shocked. She smells the smoke. She sees the fire. She grabs Lily and runs out of the house. She calls the firemen. She says, "Help, help, my house is on fire, my daughter played with a match, she did not know what it was, please come fast!"
+
+The firemen come. They have big trucks and hoses and hats. They try to put out the fire. They spray water and foam and sand. They break the windows and the door. They save the cat. But they cannot save the house. The house is burned and black and gone.
+
+Lily is sad. She lost her house, her paper, her crayons, her books. She has a big itch on her arm. The fire stick burned her. It hurts. She says, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, I did not mean to make a fire, I did not know what a match was, I just wanted to write."
+
+Her mom is sad too. She hugs Lily. She says, "I know, honey, I know, you did not know, you were curious, you wanted to write. But you have to be careful, some things are not for writing, some things are dangerous, some things can hurt you and others. You have to ask me before you use something new. You have to learn what is safe and what is not."
+
+Lily nods. She says, "I will, mom, I will, I will ask you, I will learn, I will be careful. But can I still write? Can I still use crayons and pens and paint? Can I still write my name, your name, the cat's name?"
+
+Her mom smiles. She says, "Of course, honey, of course, you can still write. Writing is good, writing is fun, writing is sweet. Writing is how you express yourself, how you show your love, how you make your mark. Writing is not bad, writing is not wrong, writing is not the problem. The match was the problem. The match was bad, the match was wrong, the match was the problem. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily says, "I do, mom, I do, I understand. I will never use a match again, I will never make a fire again, I will never hurt you or the cat or the house again. I will only write with crayons and pens and paint. I will only write on paper and walls and books. I will only write big and small, with love and fun and sweet."
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had a big track with hills and bridges and tunnels. They took turns to drive their cars on the track and make noises.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to drive his car faster and faster. He did not wait for Lily to finish her turn. He pushed her car off the track and drove his car over it. Lily was sad and angry. She said, "That is not nice, Tom. You broke my car and you hurt my feelings. You should share and be kind."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "I don't care. I have the best car and I can do what I want. You are just a baby and your car is slow and boring." He drove his car faster and faster, until he reached the highest hill on the track.
+
+But Tom was not careful. He drove his car too fast and too close to the edge of the hill. His car flew off the track and crashed on the floor. Tom was fearful. He thought his car was broken and he would get in trouble. He cried and cried.
+
+Lily saw Tom crying. She felt sorry for him. She picked up his car and checked if it was okay. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. Your car is not broken. It is just a little scratched. Here, you can have it back."
+
+Tom was surprised. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice and very brave. I am sorry I was mean to you and your car. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends again. But you have to promise to share and be kind. And you have to be careful when you drive your car. It is more fun to play together than to play alone."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. You are right. It is more fun to play together. Can we drive our cars on the track again?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, we can. But let's take turns and make noises. And let's not drive too fast or too close to the edge. We don't want to crash again."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged and played with their cars on the track. They were happy and they learned a lesson. They learned that sharing and kindness are better than selfishness and rudeness. And they learned that driving too fast and too careless can be dangerous and scary.
+Ben and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said they could go to a restaurant. Ben and Mia were happy.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the restaurant. Mom parked the car and got out. Ben and Mia got out too. They saw a big sign with a picture of a pizza. They liked pizza.
+
+They walked to the door of the restaurant. Mom opened the door and they went inside. There were many people and tables and chairs. There was also a big oven where they made the pizza. Ben and Mia smelled the pizza. It smelled good.
+
+Mom found a table and they sat down. A man came and gave them a menu. Mom looked at the menu and asked Ben and Mia what they wanted. Ben said he wanted a cheese pizza. Mia said she wanted a pepperoni pizza. Mom told the man their order.
+
+They waited for their pizza. Ben and Mia were bored. They looked around the restaurant. They saw a big ball on the floor. It was red and shiny. Ben wanted to play with it. He got up from his chair and ran to the ball. He picked it up and threw it in the air. He caught it and threw it again. He was having fun.
+
+Mia saw Ben playing with the ball. She wanted to play too. She got up from her chair and ran to Ben. She said, "Give me the ball, Ben. I want to play." Ben said, "No, Mia. It's my ball. Go away." Mia was angry. She tried to grab the ball from Ben. Ben pulled the ball away. They started to fight.
+
+Mom saw Ben and Mia fighting. She was not happy. She got up from her table and walked to them. She said, "Ben, Mia, stop fighting. That's not nice. The ball is not yours. It belongs to the restaurant. Put it back where you found it. Come back to the table. Your pizza is here."
+
+Ben and Mia heard Mom. They stopped fighting. They looked at the ball. They felt sorry. They put the ball back on the floor. They walked back to the table. They saw their pizza. It was hot and cheesy and yummy. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were bad. We won't fight again." Mom said, "It's okay, Ben, Mia. I love you. Now eat your pizza. It's good." Ben and Mia ate their pizza. They were happy. They liked the restaurant.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make roads and bridges with dirt and stones. Tom had a big red car that was made of steel. It was very shiny and strong. Lily had a small yellow car that was made of plastic. It was not so shiny or strong, but it was very fast and light.
+
+One day, they found a big puddle of water near the fence. They decided to make a lake for their cars. Tom poured some water from his bucket into the puddle. He said, "Look, my car can swim in the water. It is so cool and brave. Your car is too small and weak. It will sink and get wet."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not want her car to sink and get wet. She said, "No, my car can swim too. It is so smart and humble. It does not need to show off. It can go under the water and see the fish."
+
+She poured some water from her bottle into the puddle. She put her car in the water and pushed it down. She said, "See, my car is swimming under the water. It is having fun and exploring. Your car is too big and loud. It will scare the fish and make them run away."
+
+Tom felt curious. He wanted to see the fish too. He said, "Can I see your car? Can I see the fish?" He leaned over the puddle and tried to look under the water. But he leaned too much and lost his balance. He fell into the puddle and got wet. His car fell with him and got wet too.
+
+Lily laughed. She said, "Look, now your car is swimming with my car. They are both wet and happy. They can be friends and play with the fish. Maybe you can be humble and play with me too."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Yes, you are right. I am sorry I was mean to you and your car. Your car is very nice and clever. My car is not so cool and brave. It is just a toy. We can share our cars and our water. We can be friends and play together."
+
+They hugged and splashed in the puddle. They had fun with their cars and the water. They learned to be humble and kind. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play together and have fun. Today was their birthday. They were very happy. They wanted to celebrate with cake and balloons.
+
+But when they went to the kitchen, they saw no cake and no balloons. Where were they? Their mom and dad were not there either. They only saw a note on the table. It said: "We have a surprise for you. Go and search for it. Follow the clues. Love, Mom and Dad."
+
+Anna and Ben were curious. They liked surprises. They decided to follow the clues. The first clue was a picture of a cat. They knew their cat, Fluffy, was in the living room. They ran there and found Fluffy. Fluffy had a ribbon around her neck. On the ribbon, there was another clue. It said: "Look under the sofa. There is something shiny."
+
+Anna and Ben looked under the sofa. They saw a shiny box. They opened it. Inside, there were two hats. One was pink and one was blue. They put on the hats. They felt very silly. On the box, there was another clue. It said: "Go to the garden. There is something mysterious."
+
+Anna and Ben went to the garden. They saw a big tent. It was colorful and had stars on it. They wondered what was inside. They opened the tent. They saw their mom and dad. They also saw a big cake and many balloons. They saw their friends and their toys. They heard music and laughter.
+
+"Surprise!" their mom and dad shouted. "Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!"
+
+Anna and Ben were very surprised. They were very happy. They hugged their mom and dad. They thanked them for the surprise. They joined their friends and played with their toys. They ate the cake and blew the balloons. They celebrated their birthday. They had a lot of fun.
+Tommy liked to play with his toy farm. He had many animals and a big red barn. He also had a small garden where he grew potatoes. He liked to dig them up and pretend they were his friends.
+
+One day, he decided to lead his potatoes on an adventure. He put them in a wagon and pulled them around the house. He showed them his room, the kitchen, the living room and the bathroom. He talked to them and made them laugh.
+
+But when he got to the basement, he saw something scary. It was a big spider on the wall. Tommy was afraid of spiders. He screamed and dropped the wagon. The potatoes rolled out and scattered on the floor.
+
+The spider saw the potatoes and thought they were food. It crawled down and tried to bite them. But the potatoes were playful and smart. They rolled away and dodged the spider. They bumped into each other and made funny noises.
+
+Tommy heard the noises and peeked from behind the stairs. He saw his potatoes having fun and chasing the spider. He felt brave and joined them. He picked up a broom and swept the spider away. He cheered and hugged his potatoes.

+He put them back in the wagon and took them upstairs. He thanked them for being his friends and saving him from the spider. He gave them each a kiss and put them back in the garden. He hoped they would grow big and strong. He smiled and went to play with his toy farm.
+Lily liked to mix things in her big bowl. She mixed water and sand, leaves and flowers, juice and cereal. She made a mess, but she had fun.
+
+One summer day, she wanted to mix something new. She saw a jar of honey on the shelf. She climbed on a chair and reached for it. But the jar was too heavy for her. It slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. The honey spilled everywhere. Lily was scared and sad.
+
+Tommy was Lily's nosy brother. He heard the noise and came to see. He saw the honey and the broken jar. He saw Lily crying. He was angry. He liked honey. He wanted to eat it, not waste it. He yelled at Lily. He said she was bad and silly.
+
+Lily felt worse. She did not mean to break the jar. She did not want to make Tommy mad. She wanted to say sorry, but she could not. She ran to her room and hid under her bed.
+
+Mommy heard the yelling and the crying. She came to the kitchen. She saw the honey and the broken jar. She saw Tommy frowning. She asked him what happened. He told her what Lily did. He said she was bad and silly.
+
+Mommy sighed. She knew Lily liked to mix things. She knew she was curious and creative. She also knew she was young and clumsy. She was not bad or silly. She was just learning. She told Tommy to calm down. She said Lily did not do it on purpose. She said he should be nice and help her clean up.
+
+Mommy went to Lily's room. She found her under the bed. She hugged her and kissed her. She said she was not mad at her. She said she loved her. She said she was sorry for the jar and the honey. She said she was proud of her for trying new things. She said she would help her mix something else later.
+
+Lily smiled. She felt better. She said she was sorry for the jar and the honey. She said she loved Mommy. She said she wanted to mix something else later. She said she wanted to mix something with Tommy.
+
+Mommy smiled. She said that was a good idea. She said they could mix something with Tommy later. She said they should go and say sorry to him first. She said they should also help him clean up the kitchen.
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed. She got out of the bed. She held Mommy's hand. They went to the kitchen. They saw Tommy wiping the floor. They said sorry to him. They said they wanted to mix something with him later. They said they would help him clean up.

+Tommy looked at them. He saw their smiles. He felt sorry for yelling at Lily. He knew she was his sister. He knew he loved her. He said he was sorry for yelling at her. He said he wanted to mix something with her later. He said he would help her clean up.
+
+They all hugged. They all said they loved each other. They all cleaned up the kitchen. They all mixed something later. They mixed honey and yogurt, bananas and nuts, chocolate and marshmallows. They made a yummy snack. They shared it and enjoyed it. They had fun.
+Lily was very happy today. She was going to start school for the first time. She put on her new uniform. It was blue and white and had a big star on the chest. She looked amazing.
+
+She ran to the kitchen and saw her mom and dad. They smiled and hugged her. They gave her a backpack and a lunch box. They said they were proud of her. Lily said thank you and kissed them.
+
+She walked to the bus stop with her dad. She saw other kids waiting for the bus. Some of them had the same uniform as her. They looked amazing too. Lily wanted to make friends with them.
+
+She said hello to a girl with curly hair and a boy with glasses. They said hello back. They asked her name and she told them. They told her their names too. They were Anna and Sam. They said they were going to the same school as her. Lily was happy.
+

+
+Lily had a great first day of school. She made more friends and had fun. She learned new things and played games. She liked her teacher and her uniform. She was amazing.
+Lily liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a teddy bear. She loved her teddy bear the most. He was brown and soft and hairy. She called him Peanut, because he was small and round like a peanut.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with Peanut in the garden. She threw him in the air and caught him. She hugged him and kissed him. She put him on the swing and pushed him. She had a lot of fun with Peanut.
+
+But then, a big dog came into the garden. He saw Peanut on the swing and thought he was a real bear. He barked and ran towards him. He jumped and grabbed Peanut with his teeth. He shook him and tore him. He made Peanut dirty and broken.
+
+Lily was very scared and sad. She cried and screamed. She called for her mom and dad. She wanted Peanut back. She wanted him to be whole and clean and hairy.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her call and came to the garden. They saw the big dog and the broken Peanut. They chased the dog away and picked up Peanut. They hugged Lily and comforted her. They told her they would fix Peanut and make him better. They took him inside and sewed him and washed him. They gave him back to Lily.
+
+Lily was very happy and relieved. She thanked her mom and dad. She cuddled Peanut and told him she loved him. She saw that he was still brown and soft and hairy. He was still her Peanut. She smiled and kissed him. She took him back to the garden and played with him. She was careful to keep him away from big dogs. She had a lot of fun with Peanut.
+Lila and her mom went to the pet shop. Lila wanted to buy a dove. She liked the white birds with soft feathers. She saw a big cage with many doves. She pointed and said, "Mom, can I have a dove?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You can have one dove, but you have to be polite and ask the shopkeeper. Doves are not toys, they are living things. You have to take care of them and love them."
+
+Lila nodded and walked to the shopkeeper. He was a nice man with a red hat. He said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like the doves?"
+
+Lila said, "Yes, sir. I like the doves very much. Can I buy one, please?"
+
+The shopkeeper was happy to hear Lila's polite words. He said, "Of course, you can. You are a very good girl. Which dove do you want?"
+
+Lila looked at the cage and saw a dove that was smaller than the others. It had a pink ribbon around its neck. Lila said, "I want that dove. It is so pretty and cute."
+
+The shopkeeper took the dove out of the cage and gave it to Lila. He said, "This dove is a special dove. It was a gift from my daughter, but she moved to another city. She wanted me to find a good home for it. I think you will be a good friend for it. What will you name it?"
+
+Lila hugged the dove gently and said, "I will name it Rosie, because it has a pink ribbon. Thank you, sir. You are very kind."
+
+Mom paid the shopkeeper and thanked him too. She said, "Come on, Lila. Let's go home and make a nice place for Rosie. I'm sure she will be very happy with you."
+
+Lila and her mom left the pet shop with Rosie. Lila was very happy. She had a new dove and a new friend.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Lily took Anna everywhere with her. She talked to Anna, hugged Anna and pretended Anna was her best friend.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a girl on the swing. The girl had short hair, a blue shirt and a frown. Lily wanted to play with her. She ran to the girl and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+The girl looked at Lily and said, "I'm Zoe. Go away. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not understand why Zoe was so mean. She went back to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom said, "Maybe Zoe is having a bad day. Maybe she is lonely or scared. Why don't you try to be nice to her and introduce her to Anna?"
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked Anna, but she also wanted to make a new friend. She decided to give Zoe another chance. She took Anna and walked to Zoe. She said, "This is Anna. She is my doll. She is very nice and friendly. Do you want to play with her?"
+
+Zoe looked at Anna. She saw her long hair, her pink dress and her smile. She felt guilty. She realized she was rude to Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. I don't have any dolls. I don't have any friends. Can I play with you and Anna?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Of course, Zoe. You can play with us. We can be friends. Here, you can hold Anna. She likes you."
+
+Zoe smiled too. She took Anna and hugged her. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and generous. Anna is very pretty and sweet. I like you and Anna."
+
+Lily, Zoe and Anna played together on the swing, the slide and the sandbox. They had fun and laughed. They learned to share and care. They became good friends.

+Tom and Lily are playing a game. They have cards with animals on them. They take turns to show a card and make the sound of the animal. If the other one guesses right, they get a point. If they guess wrong, they lose a point.
+
+Tom shows a card with a lion. He roars loudly. Lily covers her ears and says, "That is too loud! You are a lion. I know that. You get a point."
+
+Lily shows a card with a mouse. She squeaks softly. Tom listens and says, "That is too quiet! I can't hear you. You are a mouse. I know that. You get a point."

+
+They hug and smile. They are happy. They relax on the floor. They look at their cards and talk about the animals.

+
+"Sorry, ant, we did not mean to be mean. Here is your crumb," Sam says. He smiles at the ant. The ant takes the crumb and goes inside its home.
+
+Tim and Sam hug each other. They are friends. They like to play with water, but they also like to be kind. They go back to spraying water on the plants, the trees and the bugs. They have fun in the garden.

+

+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small kite. They want to have fun.

+But today the wind is too strong. The ball rolls away and the kite flies too high. Sara and Ben are sad. They cannot play with their toys.
+
+"Let's gather some leaves and make a pile," Sara says. "Then we can jump on it and laugh."
+

+
+They run around the park and gather many leaves. They make a big pile on the land. They are happy.
+
+But then they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. The dog is impatient. He wants to play too. He runs to the pile and jumps on it. He scatters the leaves everywhere. He barks and wags his tail.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Sara says. "You ruined our pile!"
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben says. "You are not nice!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. He thinks they are playing with him. He chases them and tries to lick them. He is friendly, but he is too rough.
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They run to the bench where their mom is sitting. They hug her and tell her about the dog.
+
+"Don't worry, kids," mom says. "The dog is just playful. He doesn't mean any harm. But maybe we should go home now. It's getting late."
+
+"OK, mom," Sara and Ben say. "But can we come back tomorrow and gather more leaves?"
+
+"Sure, honey," mom says. "But only if the wind is not too strong."

+
+Sara looked under rocks and seaweed, but she did not see any crabs. She was sad. Tom saw her and said, "Don't be sad, Sara. Maybe we can find a crab later. Let's rest for a while." He pointed to a big, smooth rock. It looked like a good place to sit and watch the waves.
+
+Sara and Tom walked to the rock and climbed on it. They felt the sun and the breeze. They heard the splash and the roar of the water. They closed their eyes and smiled. They were happy.
+
+But they did not know that the rock was not a rock. It was a very big crab. It was hiding from the people and the birds. It was waiting for the tide to come in and take it back to the sea. It felt the children on its back and opened its eyes. It was angry.
+
+The crab moved its legs and claws and lifted its body. Sara and Tom felt the rock shake and tilt. They opened their eyes and screamed. They saw the crab's face and teeth. They were scared. They jumped off the crab and ran to Mom and Dad. The crab snapped its claws and slid into the water. It was gone.
+
+Sara and Tom hugged Mom and Dad. They told them what happened. Mom and Dad were surprised and glad that they were safe. They said, "That was a very big crab. You were very brave. But next time, be careful where you rest. Not all rocks are rocks." Sara and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not want to rest on a crab again.

+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to write like Ben. She liked her own stories. She wanted to tell Ben that he was mean and rude. But she remembered what her mom had taught her. She said, "Ben, you have your opinion and I have mine. We can like different things and still be friends. You do not have to say hurtful words to me. That is not nice."
+
+Ben was surprised. He did not expect Lily to say that. He thought she would cry or fight with him. He realized he had been unkind to her. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. You are right. We can like different things and still be friends. I should not have said hurtful words to you. That was not nice. Can I see your stories again? Maybe I can learn something from you."
+
+Lily smiled and forgave Ben. She showed him her stories again. Ben looked at them with new eyes. He saw that they were creative and fun. He said, "Lily, your stories are not boring. They are interesting and colorful. I like them. Can you teach me how to write like you?"
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "Sure, Ben. I can teach you how to write like me. And you can teach me how to write like you. We can write together and share our stories. We can learn from each other and have fun."
+
+The moral of the story is: We should respect and appreciate each other's opinions and talents. We should not judge or hurt others because they are different from us. We should be kind and open-minded. We can learn from each other and have fun.
+Anna loved to look at the stars at night. She liked to imagine that each star was a planet with different things on it. She wondered what kind of people and animals lived on the planets. She wanted to visit them all.
+
+One day, she found a big box in her room. It had a bow and a tag that said "To Anna, from Mom and Dad". She was very excited. She tore off the bow and the paper and opened the box.

+
+Anna picked up the ball and hugged it. She felt something move inside. She looked closer and saw a tiny window on the ball. She peered through the window and saw a little face. It was a baby alien! It had green skin and big eyes and a funny mouth. It smiled at Anna and made a cute noise.
+
+Anna was very happy. She had a new friend from another planet. She named him Zee. She wrapped him in a blanket and took him to her bed. She told him stories and sang him songs. She gave him some of her toys and snacks. She was very nice to him.
+
+But Zee was not nice to Anna. He was a spoiled alien. He did not like to share or say thank you. He threw Anna's toys and ate all her snacks. He made loud noises and messed up her bed. He bit Anna's finger and scratched her face. He was very mean to her.
+
+Anna did not like Zee anymore. She wished she had never opened the box. She wanted to send him back to his planet. She cried and ran to her mom and dad. She told them what Zee had done.

+
+She was so tired from drawing that she fell asleep on the floor. She slept with her pastels in her hands. She dreamed of her picture and her mom. She was very happy.

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a slide, a swing, and a sandbox. One day, they saw a new thing in the yard. It was a big plastic bag with a zip. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it and see!" said Tom, who was adventurous.
+
+"No, we should not. It is not ours. Mom and Dad will be mad," said Lily, who was careful.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the bag and pulled the zip. He opened the bag and saw a lot of colorful balls. He smiled and jumped into the bag. He started to throw the balls in the air and catch them.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" he shouted.
+
+Lily was curious, but she was also scared. She walked slowly to the bag and looked inside. She saw Tom having fun, but she also saw something else. She saw a tag on the bag that said "Do not open. Fragile. Return to sender."
+
+"Tom, stop! This is not a toy. This is a mistake. We have to close the bag and tell Mom and Dad," she said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He kept playing with the balls. He did not see that some of the balls were popping and making holes in the bag. He did not hear Lily calling him. He did not notice that the wind was blowing the bag away.
+
+"Tom, help! The bag is flying!" Lily screamed.
+
+Tom looked up and saw that he was in the air. He was scared. He tried to grab the zip, but it was too late. The bag flew over the fence and landed in the street. A big truck was coming. Tom closed his eyes and cried.
+
+Lily ran to the fence and saw what happened. She was sad. She wished she could help Tom. She wished Tom had listened to her. She wished they had not opened the bag.

+
+Tom was ashamed. He told the driver everything. He said he was sorry. He said he wanted to go home. He said he wanted to see Lily.
+
+The driver nodded. He put Tom in his truck and drove him back to his yard. He saw Lily waiting by the fence. He gave Tom to Lily and told them to be careful. He said he would take the bag back to where it came from. He said he hoped they learned their lesson.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other. They thanked the driver. They said they were sorry. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would never open a bag that was not theirs again. They said they would listen to each other and to Mom and Dad. They said they would be more careful and less adventurous.
+
+The driver smiled and waved. He drove away. Tom and Lily went inside and told Mom and Dad what happened. Mom and Dad were angry, but they were also relieved. They scolded Tom and Lily, but they also hugged them. They said they loved them. They said they were glad they were safe. They said they hoped they learned their lesson.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said they loved them. They said they were glad they were safe. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would be more careful and less adventurous.
+
+The end.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She wanted to have a job like them. One day, her mom asked her if she wanted to accept a job at the farm. Lily was very happy and said yes.
+
+The next day, Lily went to the farm with her mom. There were many animals and plants there. Lily's mom told her that her job was to feed the chickens and collect the eggs. She said Lily had to be careful not to scare the chickens or break the eggs.
+
+Lily nodded and followed her mom to the chicken coop. She saw many chickens clucking and pecking. She took a bucket of corn and sprinkled some on the ground. The chickens came running and ate the corn. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, chickens! I am your friend. I have a job to feed you."
+
+Then, Lily saw some eggs in the nests. She reached out to take one, but her mom stopped her. She said, "Lily, you have to be gentle with the eggs. They are very fragile. If you squeeze them too hard, they will crack. If you drop them, they will break. You have to hold them with both hands and put them in this basket."
+
+Lily listened and did what her mom said. She was careful with the eggs. She held them with both hands and put them in the basket. She counted them as she did. She said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten eggs!"
+
+Lily's mom praised her and said, "Good job, Lily! You are a great helper. You did your job very well. I am proud of you." She gave Lily a hug and a kiss. Lily felt happy and said, "Thank you, mom. I like this job. I like the farm. I like the chickens and the eggs."
+Lily and Ben wanted to make a snowman. They put on their warm hats and coats and went outside. The snow was icy and crunchy. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them up. They found a carrot, some rocks and a scarf to make the snowman's face and clothes.
+
+But they needed something more. They wanted to make their snowman special. They looked around and saw a big orange pumpkin in the garden. It was left over from Halloween. They had an idea.
+
+They ran to the shed and got a wagon. They pushed the wagon to the garden and tried to lift the pumpkin. It was very heavy. They asked their dad for help. He came and helped them load the pumpkin on the wagon. He smiled and said, "What are you going to do with that?"
+
+They said, "You'll see!" and pulled the wagon to the snowman. They lifted the pumpkin off the wagon and put it on top of the snowman's head. It was a perfect fit. They stepped back and looked at their snowman. He had a big orange head and a happy smile.
+
+They clapped and cheered. They had made the best snowman ever. They called their mom and showed her their snowman. She laughed and said, "He's very handsome. And very original. You are very clever, Lily and Ben." They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them. They were very proud of their snowman. They hoped he would not melt.
+Tom and Lily were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They wanted to see new things and have fun. But first, they had to organize their luggage. Mom and Dad gave them each a small suitcase and told them to pack their clothes, toys and books.
+
+Tom and Lily opened their suitcases and started to put things inside. Tom wanted to bring his powerful robot, his big ball and his dinosaur book. Lily wanted to bring her soft doll, her pink dress and her fairy book. But soon, they realized that their suitcases were too full. They could not close them.
+
+"Tom, you have too many things. You can't bring everything. You have to choose what you really need," Lily said.
+
+"But I need my robot, my ball and my book. They are my favorite things. I don't want to leave them behind," Tom said.
+
+"Lily, you have too many things too. You can't bring everything. You have to choose what you really need," Tom said.
+
+"But I need my doll, my dress and my book. They are my favorite things. I don't want to leave them behind," Lily said.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them arguing and came to help. They explained to Tom and Lily that they had to organize their luggage better. They had to take out some things and leave them at home. They had to keep only what was important and useful for the trip. They had to make space for other things, like toothbrushes, pajamas and snacks.
+
+Tom and Lily listened to Mom and Dad and agreed to organize their luggage again. They took out some things and put them back in their rooms. They kept only what they really needed and wanted. They closed their suitcases and smiled.
+
+"Good job, Tom and Lily. You organized your luggage very well. Now we are ready to go," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom and Dad. We are sorry we argued. We are happy to go on a trip with you," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged Mom and Dad and took their suitcases. They went to the car and drove to the airport. They were looking forward to their trip. They knew they would have a lot of fun.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls in the shower. She pretended they were having a tea party or going to the beach. She had a lot of fun with them, but she always made sure to dry them well after the shower. She knew that water could make them sick or dirty.
+
+One day, Anna was playing with her dolls in the shower as usual. She had a new doll, Lily, that she got for her birthday. Lily was very pretty and friendly. She had long hair and a pink dress. Anna wanted to show Lily how much she loved her, so she gave her a big hug and a kiss.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily's hair started to fall out. Anna saw clumps of hair in her hands and in the water. She was very scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She started to cry and scream.
+
+"Mama! Mama! Help me! Lily's hair is falling out!"
+
+Mama heard Anna's cries and ran to the bathroom. She saw Anna holding Lily and crying. She saw the hair in the shower. She felt sorry for Anna, but she also knew what was wrong.
+
+"Anna, don't panic. It's okay. Lily's hair is not real. It's made of plastic. Sometimes, plastic hair can fall out when it gets wet. It's not your fault. Lily is still your doll and she still loves you."
+
+Mama took Lily from Anna and wrapped her in a towel. She dried her gently and tried to fix her hair. She gave her back to Anna and hugged her.
+
+"See? Lily is still pretty and friendly. She just has a new hairstyle. Maybe you can make her a hat or a ribbon to make her look even more beautiful. How about that?"
+
+Anna sniffled and nodded. She looked at Lily and smiled. She still loved her, even with less hair. She thanked Mama and gave her a kiss.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mama. I didn't know. I won't play with Lily in the shower anymore. I'll play with her in my room or in the garden. Can we do that?"
+
+"Of course, Anna. You can play with Lily wherever you want. Just remember to be gentle and careful with her. She's your special friend."
+
+Anna hugged Lily and Mama. She felt better. She learned something new. She was happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Tom had a new toy car in his pocket. It was red and shiny and fast. He felt mighty with his car. He wanted to show it to Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, look at my car!" he said, taking it out of his pocket. "It can go zoom, zoom, zoom!"
+
+Lily looked at the car. She thought it was nice, but she had something else in her pocket. It was a yellow flower. It was soft and pretty and smelled good. She felt happy with her flower. She wanted to show it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, look at my flower!" she said, taking it out of her pocket. "It can make you smile, smile, smile!"
+
+Tom looked at the flower. He thought it was nice, but he liked his car more. He said, "My car is better than your flower. It can go faster and farther and louder."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "But my flower is better than your car. It can make you happier and calmer and nicer."
+
+They started to argue. They raised their voices and made faces. They felt angry and hurt.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She said, "What are you two doing? Why are you fighting? You should share and care for each other. You are both mighty and special."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped arguing. They looked at their mom. They looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Tom."
+
+They hugged their mom. They hugged each other. They decided to trade their pocket treasures. Tom gave his car to Lily. Lily gave her flower to Tom. They played with their new toys. They felt happy and grateful and mighty.
+Anna liked to play with her sack. It was big and flexible. She could put many things in it, like toys, books, and snacks. She could also swing it around, or wear it on her shoulder, or hide under it.
+
+One day, she decided to take her sack to the park. She wanted to show it to her friend Ben. She put some of her favorite things in it, and carried it on her shoulder. She walked to the park with her mom.
+
+At the park, she saw Ben on the swings. He waved at her and smiled. She ran to him and said, "Look, Ben, this is my sack. It is very flexible. Do you want to see what is inside?"
+
+Ben nodded and jumped off the swing. He followed Anna to a bench. She put her sack on the bench and opened it. She took out a toy car, a book, and a cookie. She gave the cookie to Ben and said, "This is for you. It is yummy."
+
+Ben took the cookie and thanked her. He looked at the toy car and the book. He said, "These are nice. Can I play with them?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Sure. You can play with them. But you have to be careful. They are mine."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Okay. I will be careful. Can I put them in your sack?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay. You can put them in my sack. But you have to give them back to me later."
+
+Ben agreed and put the toy car and the book in the sack. He said, "Let's go to the slide. It is fun."
+
+Anna agreed and followed him. She left her sack on the bench. She did not see the dog that was sniffing around the bench. She did not see the dog that liked flexible things. She did not see the dog that grabbed her sack with its teeth and ran away.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toy cars. They made noises like engines and raced them on the floor. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a real engine inside. Tom wanted to touch it and see how it worked.
+
+"Look, Anna, a real engine!" he said. "Let's play with it!"
+
+"No, Tom, we can't!" Anna said. "Dad said it is dangerous. We have to listen to him. He knows best."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He was curious and brave. He opened the box and reached for the engine. He did not see the wires and the oil. He got a shock and a cut. He cried out loud.
+
+Anna ran to him and hugged him. She was scared and anxious. She called for Dad. Dad came and saw what happened. He was angry and sad. He took Tom to the doctor. He fixed his wound and gave him a bandage.
+
+"Tom, you were very naughty," Dad said. "You did not listen to me. You could have been hurt more. You have to be careful and obey. That is how you stay safe and happy."
+
+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He hugged Dad and said he was sorry. He learned his lesson. He decided to listen to Dad and Anna from then on. He played with his toy cars and not with the real engine. He was safe and happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a ball and a bracelet. The bracelet is shiny and pink. Anna likes the bracelet. She puts it on her wrist.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a pretty bracelet!" Anna says.
+
+Ben looks at the bracelet. He wants it too. He grabs the ball and throws it at Anna. The ball hits Anna's arm. Anna drops the bracelet. It falls on the grass.
+
+"Ow, Ben, that hurts!" Anna cries. She rubs her arm. It feels uncomfortable.
+
+"Sorry, Anna, I want the bracelet!" Ben says. He runs to the grass and picks up the bracelet. He puts it on his wrist.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair! That's my bracelet!" Anna says. She runs after Ben. She tries to take the bracelet back.
+
+They tug and pull on the bracelet. The bracelet breaks. The beads fly everywhere. Anna and Ben stop. They look at the broken bracelet. They feel sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna, I broke your bracelet," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I was mean to you," Anna says.
+
+They hug each other. They pick up the beads. They try to fix the bracelet. They can't. They decide to share the beads. They make new bracelets. They put them on their wrists.
+
+"Look, Ben, we have new bracelets!" Anna says.
+
+"Look, Anna, we have new bracelets!" Ben says.
+
+They smile at each other. They are friends again. They play with the ball and the bracelets. They have fun.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. Tom likes red blocks the best. He wants to make a big tower with red blocks.
+
+"Give me that red block, Sam!" Tom says. He grabs a red block from Sam's hand.
+
+"No, Tom! That is my red block!" Sam says. He pulls the red block back. "You have many red blocks already. Let me have some too!"
+
+Tom and Sam start to fight over the red block. They tug and push and shout. The red block falls to the floor. Their tower of blocks falls too. The blocks make a loud noise.
+
+"Stop that, boys!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees the mess of blocks. She sees the red block on the floor. She is not happy. "Why are you fighting over one red block? You have so many blocks to share. Fighting is not nice. It does not allow you to have fun."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Sam say. They feel bad. They do not want to make Mom angry. They do not want to fight with each other.
+
+"Here, Tom. You can have the red block," Sam says. He picks up the red block and gives it to Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother," Tom says. He smiles at Sam. He gives Sam a hug.
+
+"Let's make a new tower together," Sam says. "We can use red blocks and other colors too. It will be a big and beautiful tower."
+
+"Okay, Sam. That sounds like fun," Tom says. They start to build a new tower. They use red blocks and blue blocks and yellow blocks and green blocks. They make the tower very tall. They are careful not to tip it over. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She watches them play nicely. She smiles.
+Sara was a hen who liked to lay eggs. She had a cozy nest in the barn, where she kept her eggs warm and safe. Every day, she would go out to the yard and look for corn to eat. She loved corn, because it was yellow and sweet and crunchy.
+
+One day, Sara found a very unique corn. It was not yellow, but purple. It was not sweet, but sour. It was not crunchy, but soft. Sara was curious and wanted to try it. She pecked at it and tasted it. She did not like it at all. She spat it out and made a face.
+
+She looked around and saw that the other hens were laughing at her. They had seen her eat the purple corn and thought it was funny. Sara felt sad and embarrassed. She ran back to the barn and hid in her nest. She did not want to see the other hens anymore.
+
+But then, she heard a soft peep. She looked down and saw that one of her eggs had hatched. It was a baby chick, and it was very cute. It had fluffy feathers and bright eyes and a tiny beak. And it was purple, just like the corn. Sara was surprised and happy. She cuddled the chick and kissed it. She did not care what the other hens thought. She loved her unique chick, and her chick loved her. They were happy together in the nest.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big, green lime on the ground. They pick it up and look at it.
+
+"What is this?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. It is green and round and hard," Lily says.
+
+They smell the lime. It has a strong smell. They make a funny face.
+
+"Let's cut it and see what is inside," Ben says.
+
+They run to the kitchen and ask Mom for a knife. Mom says they can use a plastic knife. She helps them cut the lime in half. They see the juice and the seeds.

+
+They lick the lime. It is very sour. They make a louder funny face. They spit out the juice.

+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Jen has a new toy. It is a furry bear. It has a red hat and a blue scarf. Jen loves her bear.
+
+Tom sees the bear and wants to play with it. He asks Jen, "Can I hold your bear?"
+
+Jen says, "No, it is mine. You have your own toys."
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He says, "But I like your bear. It is so furry and cute. Please let me have it."
+
+Jen says, "No, no, no. Go away, Tom. You are not nice."
+
+Tom thinks of a plan. He sees a letter on the table. It is for Jen from her grandma. Tom takes the letter and runs away. He says, "If you don't give me your bear, I will rip your letter."
+
+Jen gasps. She loves her grandma. She wants to read her letter. She says, "Tom, stop! That is not fair. Give me back my letter."
+
+Tom says, "Only if you give me your bear."

+
+Then, Mom comes in. She sees Tom and Jen. She sees the bear and the letter. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tom and Jen tell Mom what happened. They both mention the bear and the letter. They both say they are sorry.
+
+Mom says, "Fighting is not good. Sharing is good. You are both friends. You should be kind to each other. How about you take turns with the bear and the letter? You can play with them together and have fun."
+
+Tom and Jen agree. They say, "OK, Mom. We will share. We will be nice."

+
+Lila looks at the image. She reads the word under it. "It says peacock. It is a rare bird. It lives far away. It is very pretty."
+
+"I want to see a peacock. Do you think we can find one outside?" Tom asks.
+
+Lila shakes her head. "No, I don't think so. Peacocks are rare. We can only see them in the book. But we can draw them. Do you want to draw a peacock with me?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes to draw. He gets some paper and crayons. Lila gets some scissors and glue. They sit on the floor and start to draw and cut and paste. They make their own images of peacocks.
+

+
+Lily's mom hears Lily's yell and comes to the kitchen. She sees the cat and the mouse cage. She grabs the cat and puts it outside. She checks the mouse cage and sees that the mouse is okay. She hugs Lily and says, "Don't worry, Lily, the mouse is safe. The cat can't hurt it anymore. You are a good friend to the mouse."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love the mouse. The cat is scary. I don't like the cat." She picks up the mouse cage and takes it to her room. She puts the cage on her bed and watches the mouse. The mouse comes out of its hiding place and looks at Lily. Lily says, "Hi, mouse. I'm sorry the cat scared you. You are brave and smart.

+
+"Look, oil!" Sam says. "We can pour it on the floor and make a road."
+
+"Good idea!" Tom says. "Let's do it!"
+
+They open the can and pour some oil on the floor. The oil is black and sticky. They spread it with their hands and feet. They make a long road.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Sam says. "Let's get our cars and trucks and drive on the road."
+
+They run to get their toys. They come back and step on the oil road. But the oil is not dry. It is wet and slippery. They slip and slide and fall.
+
+"Ouch!" Sam says. "This hurts!"
+
+"Help!" Tom says. "This is messy!"
+
+They try to get up, but they can't. They are stuck in the oil. They cry and call for mom.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees the oil road and the boys. She is angry and sad.

+Tom and Lily like to play on the swings in the park. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. Sometimes they swing so fast that they feel dizzy. They like to feel dizzy, because it makes everything look funny.
+
+One day, they see a new swing in the park. It is big and round, and has many ropes. They want to try it, so they run to it. They climb on the swing, and hold the ropes. They ask their mom to push them.
+
+The swing starts to move. It goes up and down, and left and right. It also spins around and around. Tom and Lily feel very dizzy. They giggle and scream. They lean to one side, and the swing leans too. They lean to the other side, and the swing leans again. They have fun making the swing lean.
+
+But then, they feel too dizzy. They want to stop. They tell their mom to stop the swing. Their mom stops the swing, and helps them get off. They try to walk, but they fall down. They have a hard time keeping their balance. They feel like the ground is moving.
+
+They sit on the grass, and wait for the dizziness to go away. They look at each other, and smile. They had a lot of fun on the new swing, but they also like the old swings. They decide to go back to the old swings, and swing slower. They do not want to feel too dizzy again. They are happy.
+Lila and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and bridges. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. Lila wants to make the tallest tower ever. She puts one block on top of another, very carefully. She tries to balance them so they do not fall.
+
+"Look, Tom, look how high my tower is!" she says. "It is taller than you!"
+
+Tom looks at Lila's tower. He feels a little jealous. He wants to make a high tower too. But he does not have enough blocks. He sees a cell on the table. A cell is a small thing that makes light or sound. Tom's dad uses a cell to talk to people. Tom thinks the cell is shiny and pretty. He wants to put it on his tower.
+
+"Tom, no, that is not a block!" Lila says. "That is dad's cell! You cannot play with it!"
+
+But Tom does not listen. He grabs the cell and runs to his tower. He puts the cell on the top of his tower. He smiles. He thinks his tower is better than Lila's now.
+
+"Look, Lila, look how high my tower is!" he says. "It is taller than yours!"
+
+Lila is angry. She does not like that Tom took dad's cell. She does not like that Tom's tower is taller than hers. She wants to make Tom's tower fall. She pushes Tom's tower with her hand. The tower wobbles and shakes. The blocks fall down. The cell falls down too. It hits the floor. It breaks. It makes a loud noise. It does not work anymore.
+
+"Tom, Lila, what did you do?" dad says. He comes into the room. He sees the broken cell. He sees the mess of blocks. He is very mad. He picks up the cell. He looks at it. It is dirty and cracked. It does not make light or sound. It is ruined.
+
+"Tom, Lila, this was my cell!" dad says. "This was very important! This was very expensive! How could you be so careless? How could you be so naughty?"
+
+Tom and Lila are scared. They know they did something bad. They know dad is very upset. They feel sorry. They feel sad. They cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, dad, I'm sorry!" Tom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, dad, I'm sorry!" Lila says.
+
+But dad does not forgive them. He does not hug them. He does not smile. He takes away their blocks. He sends them to their room. He says they cannot play anymore. He says they have to be clean and quiet. He says they have to learn their lesson.
+
+Tom and Lila go to their room. They do not have any blocks. They do not have any fun. They do not have any friends. They only have each other. They only have their tears. They have a bad ending.
+Jill and Jack like to mark things. They mark their books, their toys, their walls. They mark with crayons, with stickers, with paint. They mark because they want to show what they like and what they can do.
+
+One day, they decide to mark a big map. The map has many places and colors. They want to mark where they have been and where they want to go. They mark with red for home, with blue for the sea, with green for the park. They mark with stars for their favorite places, with hearts for their friends, with circles for their dreams.
+
+They look at their map and feel jolly. They see all the marks and smile. They think of all the things they have seen and done. They think of all the things they want to see and do. They think of all the journeys they can make. They say to each other, "Let's go mark the world!"
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red vehicle that could make loud noises and move fast. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places and having adventures.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to share the vehicle with their cousin Max, who was coming to visit. Tom and Lily did not like this idea. They wanted to keep the vehicle for themselves. They frow
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They had a ball and a net. They liked to kick the ball into the net and shout "goal!".
+
+A fox came out of the bushes. It was hungry and saw the ball. It thought the ball was a big egg. It wanted to eat the egg.
+
+The fox ran to the ball and grabbed it with its teeth. It tried to run away with the ball.
+
+Ben and Mia saw the fox. They were angry and scared. They wanted their ball back.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouted. "Give it back!"
+
+The fox did not listen. It growled and shook its head. It was not afraid of Ben and Mia. It was a big and strong fox.
+
+Ben and Mia ran after the fox. They tried to catch the fox and get their ball. But the fox was faster and smarter. It dodged and jumped and ran.
+
+The fox reached the fence. It saw a hole in the fence. It went through the hole with the ball.
+
+Ben and Mia reached the fence. They saw the hole. But they could not go through the hole. They were too big and the hole was too small.
+
+They banged on the fence and cried. They could not get their ball back. They could only watch the fox run away with their ball.
+
+The fox was happy. It had a big egg. It did not care about Ben and Mia. It did not care that they were sad and angry. It only cared about itself.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were going to see a show with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals and the clowns on the stage. They had to sit in big chairs and wait for the show to start.
+
+Lily wanted to see everything. She leaned forward and tried to look over the people in front of her. She saw a big elephant and a funny clown. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+Ben wanted to see everything too. But he was too small to see over the people. He leaned to the left and to the right, but he could not see anything. He felt sad and angry. He wanted to sit on his mom's lap, but she said no. She said he had to sit in his own chair and be quiet.
+
+Ben was stubborn. He did not listen to his mom. He started to cry and kick his chair. He made a lot of noise. The people around him looked at him and said shh. His mom and dad were embarrassed. They tried to calm him down, but he did not stop.
+
+Lily saw her brother crying. She felt sorry for him. She leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Ben, don't cry. I will tell you what I see. Look, there is a lion and a lady. The lady is putting her head in the lion's mouth. Wow, that is brave. And there is a man and a bike. The man is riding the bike on a thin wire. That is amazing. And there is a monkey and a hat. The monkey is taking the hat from the people and putting it on his head. That is funny. Do you see them, Ben?"
+
+Ben stopped crying and listened to his sister. He tried to see what she saw. He saw the lion and the lady, the man and the bike, and the monkey and the hat. He smiled and laughed. He said thank you to his sister. He leaned back and enjoyed the show. His mom and dad were happy. They hugged him and kissed him. They said he was a good boy. They said they loved him and Lily very much. They all had a good time at the show.
+Lily and Ben love to play in the lake. They have a kayak that is red and yellow. They take turns to paddle and steer. They see fish and ducks and frogs. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big rock in the water. It is shiny and smooth. Lily wants to touch it. She says to Ben, "Let me go to the rock. It is brilliant. Maybe it is a treasure." Ben says, "No, Lily. It is too far. We have to go back soon. Mom and Dad are waiting for us." But Lily does not listen. She jumps out of the kayak and swims to the rock.
+
+Ben is scared. He tries to follow Lily, but the kayak is too heavy. He calls to Lily, "Come back, Lily. Come back. The lake is deep and cold. You can get hurt." But Lily does not hear him. She reaches the rock and climbs on it. She feels the rock. It is hard and rough. She is disappointed. It is not a treasure. It is just a rock.
+
+She looks back at Ben. He is far away. She sees the kayak is tipping over. She sees water is getting in. She sees Ben is crying. She is sorry. She wants to go back to Ben. She tries to jump off the rock, but she slips. She stumbles and falls. She hits her head on the rock. She feels pain. She feels blood. She feels dizzy. She falls into the water. She sinks. She cannot breathe. She cannot see. She cannot hear.
+
+Ben sees Lily fall. He screams. He paddles hard. He tries to reach Lily. He tries to save her. But he is too late. He cannot find her. He cannot see her. He cannot hear her. He is alone. He is sad. He is lost. He wishes he never saw the rock. He wishes Lily never left the kayak. He wishes they went back to Mom and Dad. He wishes they had fun.
+Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play on the porch. They had many toys, but they always wanted the same one. One day, they saw a big red truck on the porch. It was a gift from their grandma.
+
+Lily ran to the truck and grabbed it. She said, "This is mine! I saw it first!"
+
+Sam said, "No, it is mine! Grandma loves me more!"
+
+They both pulled the truck and yelled at each other. They were very selfish and did not want to share.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the porch. She was very angry. She said, "You are both naughty! You should be thankful for your gift and play nicely. But you are only fighting and yelling. You do not deserve the truck. I will take it away and give it to someone who needs it more."
+
+She took the truck and went inside. Lily and Sam cried and begged for the truck. But their mom did not listen. She said, "Maybe next time you will learn to be kind and share."
+
+Lily and Sam were very sad and sorry. They had lost their gift and their mom's trust. They wished they had not been so selfish. But it was too late. The end.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. It was a hot day, so they drank a lot of water from their bottles.
+
+"Mom, can we have ice cream?" Sara asked. She saw a lady with a cart that had many colors of ice cream.
+
+"Maybe later, sweetie. We have to go home soon and have lunch," mom said.
+
+"Please, mom, please!" Tom begged. He liked ice cream very much, especially chocolate.
+
+Mom looked at her watch and smiled. "OK, I promise. We can have ice cream after lunch. But you have to eat your vegetables and fruits first, deal?"
+
+"Deal!" Sara and Tom said. They gave mom a hug and a kiss.
+
+They finished playing and went home with mom. They ate their lunch and did not complain about the vegetables and fruits. They were good children and remembered mom's promise.
+
+"Can we have ice cream now, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, you can. You kept your part of the deal, so I will keep mine," mom said. She took them to the lady with the cart and let them choose their favorite flavors.
+
+Sara picked strawberry and Tom picked chocolate. They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and made them happy.
+
+"Thank you, mom. You are the best," Sara and Tom said.
+
+"You are welcome, my loves. I love you very much," mom said. She hugged them and kissed their sticky faces. They had a wonderful day.
+Sara and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was smelly and angry. It barked loud and ran fast.
+
+"Let's unite and hide!" Sara said to Ben. "The dog can't find us if we are together."
+
+They ran to a big tree. The tree had many leaves and branches. They climbed up the tree and hoped the dog would go away.
+
+But the dog did not go away. It saw them in the tree and jumped up and down. It scratched the tree with its claws and tried to bite them.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara and Ben shouted. "Someone save us from the smelly dog!"
+
+No one heard them. No one came to help. The dog was too strong and the tree was too weak. The tree broke and fell down. The dog caught Sara and Ben and ate them. The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they disagree. Today, they disagree about the calendar.
+
+Anna wants to put a pink sticker on the calendar. She says, "Today is my day. I can choose the sticker. I like pink. Pink is pretty."
+
+Ben does not like pink. He likes blue. He says, "No, today is our day. We have to share the sticker. I want blue. Blue is cool."
+
+They both pull the sticker. The sticker rips. Anna and Ben are sad. They both cry.
+
+Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the ripped sticker and the calendar. She says, "Oh, no. What happened?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom hugs them. She says, "I'm sorry. I know you both like stickers. But you have to be kind and take turns. How about we get a new sticker? A purple one. Purple is pink and blue together. Do you like purple?"
+
+Anna and Ben think about it. They both nod. They say, "Yes, we like purple. Purple is nice."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good. Then let's go get a purple sticker. And we can put it on the calendar together. OK?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They say, "OK. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They go with Mom to get a purple sticker. They put it on the calendar together. They are happy. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They agree.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big ball. They would kick the ball, throw the ball, and roll the ball. Sometimes they would play wild and make loud noises.
+
+One day, they were playing with the ball in the park. They saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was black and brown, and had a long tail. The dog wanted to play too. He barked and jumped and chased the ball.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared of the dog. They ran away from the dog, but the dog followed them. The dog caught the ball in his mouth and ran away with it. Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted their ball back.
+
+"Hey, dog, give us our ball!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Please, dog, we want to play!" Ben said.
+
+But the dog did not listen. He ran to a tree and dropped the ball. He started to bite the ball and make holes in it. Lily and Ben were angry. They ran to the dog and tried to get their ball.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Lily said.
+
+"Bad, dog, bad!" Ben said.
+
+But the dog did not stop. He growled and snapped at them. He slapped Lily with his paw and made her fall. He bit Ben's leg and made him cry.
+
+Lily and Ben were hurt. They ran away from the dog and looked for help. They saw a man walking by. He had a hat and a whistle. He was a park ranger. He saw the dog and the ball and the children.
+
+"Hey, dog, stop that!" the park ranger said. He blew his whistle and scared the dog. The dog dropped the ball and ran away.
+
+The park ranger picked up the ball and gave it to Lily and Ben. He checked their wounds and gave them band-aids. He was kind and gentle.
+
+"Are you okay, children?" the park ranger asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you, sir," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you for saving us," Ben said.
+
+The park ranger smiled and hugged them. He told them to be careful and not to play wild with strange dogs. He told them to have fun and be safe.
+
+Lily and Ben thanked him again and went back to play. They were happy to have their ball and their friend. They played with the ball, but not too wild. They learned their lesson.
+Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with green pears. Mia and Ben want to eat the pears. They are hungry and the pears look yummy.
+
+Mia says, "How can we get the pears? They are too high for us."
+
+Ben says, "I have an idea. We can lean on each other and reach the pears. You lean on me and I lean on you. Then we can grab the pears."
+
+Mia and Ben try Ben's idea. They lean on each other and stretch their arms. They can touch the pears. They pull the pears and smile. They have two pears, one for each of them.
+
+Mia and Ben sit under the tree and eat the pears. They are sweet and juicy. Mia and Ben are happy and playful. They share the pears and laugh. They say, "This is the best day ever!"
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pond with many fish. Lily wants to feed the fish. She has some bread in her bag.
+
+"Look, Ben, fish!" Lily says. "I want to give them bread. They are hungry."
+
+Ben shakes his head. He is deaf. He can't hear Lily. He can only see her mouth move. He points to a sign. The sign says: "Do not feed the fish. They have enough food."
+
+Lily does not see the sign. She does not know what it means. She breaks the bread into small pieces. She throws them into the pond. The fish swim to the bread. They eat it.
+
+Ben is angry. He tries to stop Lily. He grabs her arm. He shows her the sign again. He makes a cross with his fingers. He means: "No, don't do that."
+
+Lily is confused. She does not understand Ben. She thinks he is mean. She pulls her arm away. She cries. She says: "Let me go! I need to feed the fish. They are my friends."
+
+Ben and Lily are sad. They do not know how to talk to each other. They do not know how to be friends.
+Lily and Max were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the seesaw and the sandbox. But they were afraid of the big slide. It was too high and too fast for them.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Sam. He was very brave and he went on the big slide right away. He slid down with a loud whoosh and a big smile. He looked at Lily and Max and said, "Do you want to try the slide? It's fun!"
+
+Lily and Max shook their heads. They were too scared. Sam said, "Come on, don't be chicken. I dare you to go on the slide. Just one time. You'll like it, I promise."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They didn't want to be chicken. They wanted to be brave like Sam. They decided to take the dare. They climbed up the ladder, holding each other's hand. They reached the top of the slide and looked down. It was very high and very fast. They felt their hearts beating fast.
+
+They closed their eyes and let go. They slid down with a loud whoosh and a big scream. They landed on the soft grass and opened their eyes. They looked at each other and smiled. They did it! They went on the big slide! They felt proud and happy.
+
+They ran to Sam and said, "Thank you for daring us to go on the slide. It was scary, but it was fun. You are a good friend. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Sure, I'd love to play with you. You are brave and fun. Do you want to go on the slide again?"
+
+Lily and Max said, "Yes, let's go on the slide again. It's not so scary anymore. It's comfortable and fun." They all went on the slide again and again, laughing and cheering. They had a great time at the park.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the steps. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She laughs.
+
+"Wait for me!" Ben says. He runs after Lily. He climbs up the steps. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He laughs too.
+
+They do it again and again. They have fun.
+
+But then, Lily slips. She falls off the steps. She hurts her knee. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says. She holds her knee. She looks for Ben.
+
+But Ben does not hear her. Ben is deaf. He cannot hear Lily cry. He cannot hear anything. He only sees.
+
+He sees Lily on the ground. He sees her cry. He sees her hold her knee. He knows she is hurt.
+
+He slides down fast. He runs to Lily. He hugs her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" Ben says. He uses his hands to talk. He signs.
+
+Lily nods. She hugs Ben back. She uses her hands to talk. She signs.
+
+"I'm okay, Ben. Thank you. You are a good brother." Lily says.
+
+They smile. They help each other. They go to their mom. She gives them a band-aid and a kiss. They feel better.
+
+They go back to the slide. They are careful. They do not slip. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big pot with water and flowers. Lily wanted to smell the flowers. She leaned over the pot and sniffed.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. "The water is deep and the pot is thick. You might fall in!"
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She wanted to touch the water. She reached out her hand and splashed. The water was cold and wet. She giggled.
+
+"Look, Tom! The water is fun!" Lily said. "Let's dive in and swim!"
+
+Lily jumped into the pot. She dived under the water and opened her eyes. She saw many bubbles and colors. She felt happy.
+
+Tom was scared. He did not want to dive in. He saw Lily's head pop out of the water. She smiled and waved.
+
+"Come on, Tom! It's not scary!" Lily said. "It's like a big bath!"
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not like baths. He liked to stay dry and clean. He ran to the house and called for Mom.
+
+"Mom, Mom!" Tom said. "Lily is in the pot! She dived in and got wet!"
+
+Mom came out of the house. She saw Lily in the pot. She was surprised and angry.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said. "Get out of the pot right now! You are making a mess!"
+
+Lily climbed out of the pot. She was dripping and dirty. She looked at Mom and Tom. She did not understand why they were mad.
+
+"I was just playing, Mom," Lily said. "The pot was fun. Why are you mad?"
+
+Mom sighed. She took Lily to the bathroom and gave her a towel. She explained to Lily that the pot was not for playing. It was for growing flowers. She told Lily that she could get hurt or sick if she dived in dirty water. She told Lily to say sorry to Tom and the flowers.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make Mom mad. She did not know the pot was not for playing. She said sorry to Mom, Tom and the flowers. She hugged them and said she loved them.
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged Lily back and said she loved her too. She told Lily that she could play with water in the pool or the tub. She told Lily to be careful and listen to Tom next time.
+
+Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She did not dive in the pot again. She played with Tom in the pool and the tub. She smelled the flowers and watered them. She was happy and so was Mom.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck pass by their house. The truck had many boxes and a sign that said "East". Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to know what was in the boxes and where the truck was going.
+
+"Let's follow the truck!" Tom said to Lily. "Maybe we can see something new."
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Lily said. "We don't want to get lost or in trouble."
+
+They ran after the truck, keeping a safe distance. They saw the truck turn left and right, and pass by many houses and shops. They saw a park, a school, a farm, and a bridge. They saw people and animals and cars and bikes. They saw many things they had never seen before.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said. "The truck is going to the east. I wonder what is there."
+
+"Maybe there is a big lake, or a mountain, or a castle," Lily said. "Or maybe there is a surprise."
+
+They kept following the truck until they reached a big gate. The gate had a sign that said "Zoo". The truck stopped and the driver got out. He opened the back of the truck and started to unload the boxes.
+
+Tom and Lily hid behind a bush and watched. They saw the driver open one of the boxes and take out a monkey. The monkey was brown and furry and had a long tail. It made a funny noise and jumped on the driver's shoulder.
+
+"Look, Lily, a monkey!" Tom said. "It is so cute and funny. I want to see more."
+
+"Me too, Tom," Lily said. "But we have to be quiet. We don't want the driver to see us."
+
+They waited for the driver to open more boxes. They saw a lion, a zebra, a giraffe, and a penguin. They saw many different animals that they had only seen in books or on TV. They were amazed and excited.
+
+"This is the best day ever!" Tom said. "The truck brought us to the zoo. We are so lucky."
+
+"Yes, we are, Tom," Lily said. "But we should go back soon. Mom and Dad will be worried about us."
+
+They decided to go back the way they came. They thanked the truck and the driver in their minds. They had a lot of fun following the truck to the east. They were very curious and brave. They learned a lot of new things. They were happy.
+Sam liked to jog with his dad every morning. They would put on their shoes and hats and go outside. Sam had a case where he kept his water and snacks. He always carried it with him when he jogged.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog on the road. The dog was barking and running towards them. Sam was scared and wanted to go back home. But his dad said, "Don't worry, Sam. The dog is just playing. He is obedient. He will listen to his owner."
+
+The owner of the dog was a lady who was also jogging. She saw the dog and called his name. "Rex, come here! Stop chasing them!" She sounded angry and sorry. She reached for a leash in her pocket.
+
+But Rex did not listen. He was too excited and curious. He wanted to see what was in Sam's case. He jumped on Sam and knocked him down. He opened the case with his teeth and took out a snack. He ate it quickly and wagged his tail.
+
+Sam was not hurt, but he was very sad. He cried and said, "Bad dog! You took my snack! That was mine!" His dad hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. The dog was not obedient. He was naughty. Here, have another snack from my case. And let's go home. We can jog another day."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big bell in the park. It was shiny and red.
+
+"Let's ring the bell!" Lily said. "It will make a loud sound!"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked loud sounds. They ran to the bell and took turns to pull the rope. The bell rang and rang. It was fun.
+
+But then, a man came out of a house near the park. He looked angry. He shouted at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Stop ringing that bell! You are making too much noise! You are foolish children!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt scared. They dropped the rope and ran away from the bell. They did not want to make the man more angry.
+
+They ran to a bench and sat down. They felt sad. They did not mean to be foolish. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+They looked at each other and gave each other a hug. They felt better.
+
+"It's okay," Lily said. "We are still best friends. We can play with other toys."
+
+Ben smiled. He agreed. They got up and went to look for their toys. They decided to leave the bell alone. They did not want to ring it again.
+Anna liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She drew flowers, animals, and houses. She was very good at drawing. She showed her pictures to her mom and dad. They said, "Wow, Anna, you are very talented! We are proud of you!"
+
+But her brother Ben did not like to draw. He was lazy. He only liked to watch TV and play games. He did not want to learn anything new. He did not care about his pictures. He scribbled on them with black crayon. He said, "Drawing is boring. I don't want to do it."
+
+One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. There was a drawing contest for kids. The prize was a big box of crayons and a coloring book. Anna wanted to join the contest. She said, "Mom, can I join the contest? I want to draw a picture of the park. It is very pretty."
+
+Mom said, "Of course, Anna. You can join the contest. I will encourage you. You can do it!" She gave Anna a paper and some crayons. Anna smiled and started to draw.
+
+But Ben did not want to join the contest. He said, "Mom, I don't want to join the contest. I want to watch TV. Can we go home?"
+
+Mom said, "No, Ben. We are not going home. You have to join the contest. It is good for you. It will help you learn and have fun. I will encourage you. You can do it!" She gave Ben a paper and some crayons. Ben frowned and started to scribble.
+
+The contest was over. The judge looked at all the pictures. He said, "The winner is Anna! She drew a beautiful picture of the park. She used many colors and details. She showed her creativity and skill. Congratulations, Anna!" He gave Anna the prize. Anna was very happy. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom, for encouraging me. I love you!"
+
+But the judge did not like Ben's picture. He said, "The loser is Ben. He drew a terrible picture of the park. He used only black crayon and made a mess. He showed his laziness and rudeness. He did not try at all. Shame on you, Ben!" He gave Ben nothing. Ben was very sad. He cried and said, "Mom, why did you make me join the contest? I hate you!"
+
+Mom was very disappointed in Ben. She said, "Ben, I made you join the contest because I love you. I wanted you to learn and have fun. I wanted you to be proud of yourself. But you did not listen to me. You did not care about your picture. You did not respect the judge. You hurt my feelings. You need to apologize and change your attitude."
+
+But Ben did not apologize. He did not change his attitude. He ran away from his mom. He threw his paper and crayons on the ground. He said, "I don't care about you. I don't care about anything. I only care about myself. Leave me alone!"
+
+Mom was very sad. She did not know what to do with Ben. She did not know how to help him. She did not know how to make him happy. She wished he would be more like Anna. She wished he would be more like her. She wished he would love her.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today they are going to the city with Mom and Dad. They are very excited.
+
+They see many big buildings on the way. Some are taller than the trees. Some have many windows. Some have funny shapes. Sara and Ben stare at the buildings. They point and say, "Look, look!"
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They say, "We have a surprise for you. We are going to the top of the tallest building in the city. You can see everything from there."
+
+Sara and Ben gasp. They are happy and anxious. They wonder what they will see. They hope they will not be scared.
+
+They get to the building. It is very, very tall. They go inside. They see a big box with a door. Mom and Dad say, "This is the elevator. It will take us to the top. Hold our hands."
+
+Sara and Ben hold Mom and Dad's hands. They are nervous. The door closes. The box moves. It goes up and up and up. Sara and Ben feel their ears pop. They hear a ding. The door opens.
+
+They see a big room with glass walls. They see the sky and the clouds. They see the other buildings and the cars and the people. They see the birds and the planes. They see the sun and the moon. They see everything.
+
+Sara and Ben stare at the view. They are amazed and happy. They say, "Wow, wow!"
+
+Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We are proud of you. You are very brave. Do you like the surprise?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We love it. Thank you, Mom and Dad. This is the best day ever."
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. The birds sing and fly.
+
+"Look, Tim, the birds are so nice!" Mia says.
+
+"Yes, they are. I wish I could fly like them," Tim says.
+
+They run to the tree and lean on it. They look up and see a nest. There are four eggs in the nest.
+
+"Wow, the birds have babies!" Mia says.
+
+"Shh, don't be loud. We don't want to scare them," Tim says.
+
+They are quiet and watch the nest. They hope to see the baby birds come out. They are happy and curious. They love the birds and the tree. They are good friends.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a well in the park. They are eager to look inside.
+
+"Let's talk to the well," Tim says. "Maybe it will talk back."
+
+"OK," Jen says. "But be careful. Don't fall in."
+
+They go to the well and lean over the edge. They see water and stones.
+
+"Hello, well," Tim says. "Can you hear us?"
+
+There is no answer. Tim tries again.
+
+"Hello, well. Do you have a name?"
+
+Still no answer. Tim is sad. He wants the well to talk.
+
+"Maybe it is shy," Jen says. "Or maybe it is asleep."
+
+Tim has an idea. He picks up a stone and throws it in the well.
+
+"Maybe this will wake it up," he says.
+
+They hear a splash and then a loud noise. The well is angry. It spits out water and stones. The water and stones hit Tim and Jen. They are wet and hurt.
+
+"Help, help," they cry. "The well is mad at us."
+
+But no one hears them. They are alone in the park. The well keeps spitting water and stones. Tim and Jen are scared. They wish they never talked to the well.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy.
+
+"Hello, snowman!" Lily says. "Do you like the snow?"
+
+The snowman does not say anything. He just stands there.
+
+"Maybe he does not know our language," Ben says. "Maybe he speaks snow language."
+
+"How do we speak snow language?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. Then he says, "Maybe we have to freeze like him. Then he will think we are his friends."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They stand very still next to the snowman. They try not to blink or breathe. They feel very cold.
+
+The snowman still does not say anything. He just stands there.
+
+Lily and Ben start to shiver. They do not like to freeze. They think the snowman is not very nice.
+
+"Let's go inside," Lily says. "It's too cold out here."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "Bye, snowman. Maybe you can learn our language next time."
+
+Lily and Ben run to the house. They drink hot chocolate and warm up. They are very happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a lot of equipment on it. The truck was making loud noises and moving dirt and rocks.
+
+"What are they doing, mom?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+"They are building a new playground for us, sweetie. See, they have slides and swings and a climbing wall," mom said, pointing to the equipment.
+
+"Wow, can we play on it?" Ben asked, excited.
+
+"Not yet, honey. They have to finish it first. It might be dangerous to go near the truck and the equipment. We have to wait until they are done and it is safe," mom said, holding their hands.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded, but they still wanted to see more. They walked along the fence that separated the park from the construction site. They saw the truck driver and the workers wearing helmets and gloves. They saw the equipment digging and lifting and dumping.
+
+"Look, Ben, that equipment is like a big shovel. And that one is like a big crane. And that one is like a big slide," Lily said, naming the equipment.
+
+"Yeah, they are cool. I wish I could try them," Ben said, imagining.
+
+They came to a gap in the fence where they could see better. Lily and Ben leaned forward to get a closer look. They saw a big pile of dirt and rocks that looked like a mountain.
+
+"Wow, look at that, Lily. Do you think we can climb it?" Ben asked, tempted.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Mom said it might be dangerous. Maybe we should go back," Lily said, worried.
+
+But Ben was too curious. He let go of Lily's hand and crawled through the gap. He ran towards the pile of dirt and rocks.
+
+"Ben, wait! Come back!" Lily shouted, scared.
+
+But Ben did not hear her. He reached the pile and started to climb. He felt the dirt and rocks slipping under his feet. He heard the truck and the equipment getting louder. He looked up and saw a big shadow over him. He was in trouble.
+Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make new things with their socks. They put socks on their hands and pretended they were puppets. They made funny voices and stories with their sock puppets.
+
+"Hello, I am Mr. Sock. I like to blink a lot. Blink, blink, blink!" Ben said, moving his sock puppet.
+
+"Hi, I am Mrs. Sock. I like to sing songs. La, la, la!" Lily said, moving her sock puppet.
+
+They laughed and had fun with their sock puppets. They made them dance and hug and kiss. They made them say silly things and ask questions.
+
+"Mr. Sock, do you like cake?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Cake is yummy. Do you like cake, Mrs. Sock?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Cake is very yummy. Can we have some cake, please?" Lily asked.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They knew their mom had baked a cake for them. They ran to the kitchen with their sock puppets. They saw the cake on the table. It was big and round and had frosting and sprinkles. It looked delicious.
+
+"Mom, can we have some cake, please?" they asked together.
+
+"Of course, you can. You have been very good today. Here you go, one slice for each of you. And one for your sock puppets, too!" their mom said, cutting the cake.
+
+They thanked their mom and took their plates. They ate their cake and shared some with their sock puppets. They were very glad. They loved cake and they loved their mom and they loved their sock puppets. They were very happy.
+Ben and Mia like to play with balloons. They blow them up and tie them with strings. They make them different colors and shapes. They have fun with balloons.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They bring their balloons with them. They see a big tree with many birds. They want to see the birds up close. They have an idea.
+
+They untie their balloons and hold them in their hands. They run to the tree and throw their balloons in the air. They hope the balloons will fly to the birds and make them happy.
+
+But the balloons do not fly to the birds. They fly away from the tree. The wind takes them far, far away. The birds get scared and fly away too. Ben and Mia lose their balloons. They are sad.
+
+Their mom sees what they did. She is not happy. She tells them they should not release their balloons in the park. She tells them they can hurt the birds and the environment. She tells them they should be ashamed of themselves.
+
+Ben and Mia feel bad. They say they are sorry. They did not mean to do something wrong. They just wanted to have fun with the birds. They promise to be more careful next time. They hug their mom and say they love her. She hugs them back and says she loves them too. She tells them they can get new balloons another day. They smile and go home.
+Lily loved birds. She liked to watch them fly and sing in the sky. She wanted to hug a bird and be its friend. One day, she saw a large bird in the park. It was white and had a long neck. Lily ran to the bird and tried to hug it.
+
+"Hello, bird! You are so pretty! Can I hug you?" Lily asked.
+
+But the bird did not like Lily. It was a swan and it was angry. It hissed and bit Lily's arm. Lily cried and let go of the bird. She ran back to her mom, who was sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, mom, the bird hurt me!" Lily sobbed.
+
+"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Mom said. She looked at Lily's arm and saw a red mark. She kissed it and hugged Lily.
+
+"Lily, you should not hug birds that you don't know. They might be scared or mean. They are not like your toys. They are wild animals. You have to be careful and respectful of them. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry for the bird and for herself. She learned that not all birds are friendly and that she should not hug them without asking. She hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for hugging me."
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl. And you know what? There are other ways to show your love for birds. You can watch them, feed them, draw them, or sing to them. But you don't have to hug them. Okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will do that. I still love birds, but I will not hug them anymore. Unless they hug me first." Lily said with a smile.
+Tom and Lily liked to sing songs. They had a microphone that they could use to make their voices louder. They took turns to sing their favorite songs and listened to each other.
+
+One day, they wanted to sing a song together. They decided to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". They held the microphone and started to sing. They sang very well and matched their voices. They felt happy and proud.
+
+But then, their mom called them. She said it was time to leave. They had to go to the park and meet their friends. Tom and Lily did not want to stop singing. They wanted to finish their song. They said to their mom, "Please, can we sing one more time? We are almost done. We sound perfect."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "Okay, you can sing one more time. But then you have to leave. Your friends are waiting for you. And you can sing more songs later. I like to hear you sing. You are very good."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked their mom and sang their song again. They sang with joy and love. They finished their song and put down the microphone. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We sang a perfect song!" They ran to their mom and got ready to leave. They were excited to go to the park and play with their friends. They knew they could sing more songs anytime they wanted. They loved singing and they loved each other.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big door in the wall. The door has a lock. Tom says, "Let's open the door and see what is inside." Sue says, "No, Tom, that is not a good idea. The door is not for us. It may be dangerous." But Tom does not listen. He finds a stick and tries to break the lock.
+
+The lock is very strong. Tom hits it hard with the stick. The stick breaks. Tom is angry. He kicks the door. The door opens. Tom and Sue are surprised. They look inside. They see a dark room. The room has many weird things. There are wires, boxes, bottles, and machines. Tom says, "Wow, this is cool. Let's go in and discover more." Sue says, "No, Tom, this is not cool. This is scary. Let's go back and close the door." But Tom does not listen. He runs into the room.
+
+Sue follows Tom. She is afraid. She wants to leave. She calls Tom. But Tom does not answer. He is busy. He touches the wires, the boxes, the bottles, and the machines. He does not know what they are. He does not know what they do. He makes a big mistake. He pushes a red button. The red button is bad. The red button makes a loud noise. The loud noise is an alarm. The alarm is for the police. The police are coming. Tom and Sue are in trouble. They try to run. But it is too late. The door is locked. They are trapped. They are scared. They cry. They wish they had listened to Sue. The end.
+Lily and Ben were moving to a new house with their mom and dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Lily wanted to help, but Ben did not. He was miserable. He missed his old house and his old friends.
+
+"Ben, come and help me unpack this box of plates," mom said. "We need to put them in the kitchen."
+
+"No, I don't want to," Ben said. He crossed his arms and sat on the floor.
+
+"Why not?" mom asked. "It will be fun. You can choose where to put them."
+
+"I don't care. I don't like this house. I want to go back to our old house," Ben said. He started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Ben crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw the box of plates and had an idea.
+
+"Ben, look at these plates. They are so pretty. They have flowers and birds on them. Do you like them?" she asked.
+
+Ben looked at the plates and sniffed. He liked flowers and birds. He nodded.
+
+"Then why don't you help me unpack them and make a game out of it?" Lily said. "We can pretend we are having a tea party with our toys. We can use the plates to serve them cake and juice. It will be fun."
+
+Ben thought about it. He liked tea parties and cake and juice. He smiled.
+
+"Okay, I will help you," he said. He got up and took a plate out of the box.
+
+"Good," mom said. "I'm glad you two are getting along. Maybe you will like this house after all."
+
+Lily and Ben unpacked the plates and set them on the table. They brought their toys and had a tea party. They laughed and talked and forgot about being miserable. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they are competitive. They want to win and be the best.
+
+One day, they play a game of hide and seek. Lily counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She looks under the bed, behind the sofa, and in the closet. She cannot find him. She is frustrated.
+
+She hears a giggle from the bathroom. She runs to the door and opens it. She sees Ben hiding in the bathtub. He has a big smile on his face.
+
+"Boo!" he says. "I tricked you!"
+
+Lily is angry. She thinks Ben is not fair. She says, "That is not a good hiding place. That is a joke. You cheated!"
+
+Ben is sad. He did not mean to upset Lily. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to have fun. I love you."
+
+He gets out of the bathtub and gives Lily a hug. Lily feels his warm arms around her. She feels sorry too. She says, "I love you too, Ben. You are a good brother. Let's play another game."
+
+They hug and smile. They are not competitive anymore. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with stamps. They have many stamps of animals, flowers and cars. They stick the stamps on paper and make pictures.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia have a fight. Tom wants to use the stamp of a lion, but Mia says it is hers. They pull the stamp and tear it. They are both sad and angry. They do not want to play with each other anymore.
+
+Mom sees them and asks what is wrong. Tom and Mia tell her about the stamp. Mom says, "That is not good. You should not fight over stamps. You should share and be kind. Stamps are more fun when you play together. Can you say sorry and be friends again?"
+
+Tom and Mia think about it. They do not like to be mad. They like to have fun. They say sorry to each other and hug. They find some glue and fix the stamp of the lion. They stick it on a big paper and make a picture of a jungle. They use other stamps of monkeys, birds and snakes. They are happy and proud of their picture.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That is very good. You have united the stamps and made a beautiful picture. You have also united your hearts and made a beautiful friendship. I am proud of you both." Tom and Mia smile and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you and we love stamps." They show Mom their picture and ask her to hang it on the wall. Mom says, "Of course, I will. It is a wonderful picture and a wonderful story."
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to watch TV with Mom and Dad. They watch funny shows and laugh a lot. Sometimes they watch scary shows and hide under the blanket.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad are busy. They have to work on their laptops. They tell Lily and Max to watch TV by themselves. They give them a big mug of milk and some cookies. They say, "Be good and don't make a mess."

+
+But then, Max has an idea. He says, "Lily, let's play pretend. You be the princess and I be the dragon. I will chase you and you will scream. It will be fun."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, but we have to be careful. We don't want to spill our milk or break our mug. Mom and Dad will be mad."
+
+Max nods. He puts his mug on the table. He says, "Roar! I am a dragon. I will catch you and eat you." He runs after Lily.
+
+Lily screams. She says, "Help! Help! I am a princess. I need a prince." She runs away from Max. She holds her mug in her hand.

+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" A boy said. He was sitting on a bench near the pond. He saw Lily throwing tuna into the pond. He did not like it. He thought it was ignorant.
+
+"Tuna is for cats, not for ducks. You are wasting tuna. You are making the ducks sick. You are making the pond dirty. You should stop it." The boy said.
+
+Lily did not understand. She liked tuna. She wanted to share tuna with the ducks. She thought the ducks would like tuna too. She did not know it was ignorant.

+
+Her dad ran to her and picked her up. He was scared and angry. He checked if she was hurt. She had a burn on her hand and was crying.
+
+"Anna, why didn't you listen to me?" he said. "You could have been killed by the lightning. You were very foolish and reckless. You have to obey me when I tell you something for your own good."

Now let's go to the picnic and enjoy the strawberries with our friends."
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They find a big trunk. The trunk is old and brown. It has many things inside.
+
+Tim and Mia want to see the things. They open the trunk. They find a hat, a ball, a book, and a toy. They are happy. They want to play with the things.
+
+But Tim and Mia do not agree. Tim wants the hat. Mia wants the hat too. Tim says, "The hat is mine. It is original. It has a feather." Mia says, "No, the hat is mine. It is original. It has a flower."
+
+They pull the hat. They pull hard. They hear a snap. The hat breaks. The feather and the flower fall off. Tim and Mia are sad. They look at the hat. It is not original anymore. It is broken.
+
+They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They decide to share the things. They play with the ball, the book, and the toy. They have fun. They forget about the hat. They are friends again.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and worms and rocks. Sara saw a big green bush with many leaves. She wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Ben, come here!" she called. "I want to see what is in this bush!"
+
+Ben ran over to Sara. He was curious too. He helped Sara push the leaves aside. They saw something bright and colorful.
+
+"Wow!" they both said. "Look at all the flowers!"
+
+They revealed many flowers behind the bush. There were red ones and yellow ones and purple ones. They smelled sweet and pretty. Sara and Ben smiled and picked some flowers.
+
+"Let's give them to Mommy!" Sara said. "She will be happy!"
+
+They ran back to the house with the flowers in their hands. They found Mommy in the kitchen. She was making lunch.
+
+"Mommy, Mommy, look what we found!" they said. "We have a surprise for you!"
+
+They gave Mommy the flowers. Mommy hugged them and thanked them. She put the flowers in a vase on the table.
+
+"They are beautiful!" Mommy said. "You are very sweet and clever!"
+
+Sara and Ben felt proud and happy. They ate their lunch and drank their juice. They were sleepy after playing so much. They went to their room and took a nap. They dreamed of flowers and bugs and worms and rocks.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their wagon. They had a red wagon with four wheels and a long handle. They used it to carry their toys, their snacks, and sometimes their dog. They had a lot of fun with their wagon.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a blue wagon with stickers and a horn. He looked lonely. He had no one to play with. Ben and Sam wanted to be his friend.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Ben asked the new boy.
+
+"Tom," he said.
+
+"Do you want to play with us?" Sam asked.
+
+"OK," Tom said.
+
+They took turns pulling each other in their wagons. They raced, they honked, they laughed. They had a lot of fun with their wagons.
+
+But then, Tom wanted to keep both wagons. He said they were his now. He did not want to share. He did not want to be nice.
+
+"Give us back our wagon!" Ben said.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom said.
+
+"That is not fair!" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom said.
+
+They started to argue. They started to pull. They started to cry.
+
+A lady came to see what was wrong. She was Tom's mom. She saw the wagons and the boys.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked.
+
+"Tom took our wagon and he won't give it back!" Ben said.
+
+"Tom, is that true?" she asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He looked ashamed.
+
+"Tom, you know that is not nice. You have to share with your new friends. You have to surrender their wagon," she said.
+
+"Surrender?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, surrender. It means to give back something that is not yours. It means to say sorry and to be kind. It means to be a good friend," she said.
+
+Tom thought about it. He did not want to be lonely. He wanted to have fun with Ben and Sam. He wanted to be a good friend.
+
+He let go of the red wagon. He gave it back to Ben and Sam. He said sorry. He asked if they could still play.
+
+Ben and Sam smiled. They forgave Tom. They said yes. They shared their wagons. They played some more. They had a lot of fun with their wagons.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they feel jealous of each other. One day, they go on a safari with their mom and dad. They see many animals, like lions, zebras, and giraffes.
+
+Tom likes the lions best. He thinks they are big and strong. He wants to be like them. He says, "Look, Lily, the lions are so cool. They can roar and run and hunt. I wish I was a lion."
+
+Lily likes the zebras best. She thinks they are pretty and smart. She wants to be like them. She says, "Look, Tom, the zebras are so nice. They have stripes and friends and grass. I wish I was a zebra."
+
+Tom and Lily feel jealous of each other. They think the other one has a better animal. They start to argue and pout. They do not have fun.
+
+Their mom and dad see them. They say, "Tom and Lily, why are you sad? You are both wonderful. You do not need to be like the lions or the zebras. You can be yourselves. You can like different things and still love each other."
+
+Tom and Lily listen to their mom and dad. They feel sorry for being jealous. They hug and say sorry. They look at the animals again. They see that they are all different and special. They feel happy and curious. They enjoy the safari.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make food with the pots and pans. Sara found a big pan and put it on the stove. She said, "I will make a cake for you, Ben. What do you like in your cake?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He said, "I like chocolate and cherries and nuts and cheese and honey and..." He could not think of anything else.
+
+Sara said, "That is too many things, Ben. The cake will be ugly and yucky. You have to choose one thing."
+
+Ben said, "OK, I choose cheese. I love cheese."
+
+Sara said, "Fine. I will put cheese in the pan. But we need something else to make the cake fluffy and soft. How about eggs?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, eggs are good. But how do we get them?"
+
+Sara said, "We have to go to the farm and get them from the chickens. Come on, let's go."
+
+They put on their coats and hats and ran outside. They saw the farm across the road. They saw the chickens in the yard. They saw the eggs in the nests.
+
+Sara said, "Look, Ben. There are the eggs. Let's get some for our cake."
+
+Ben said, "OK, but be careful. The chickens might peck us."
+
+They tiptoed to the nests and picked up some eggs. They put them in their pockets. They were about to go back to the kitchen when they heard a loud cluck.
+
+They turned around and saw a big, angry chicken. It had red eyes and a sharp beak. It was the mother of the eggs. It did not like that Sara and Ben took her eggs. It wanted them back.
+
+The chicken ran after Sara and Ben. It flapped its wings and squawked. It tried to peck them and scratch them.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped the eggs and ran away. They ran across the road and back to the kitchen. They slammed the door and locked it.
+
+They were safe. But they had no eggs for their cake. And the pan was still on the stove.
+
+They smelled something burning. They looked at the pan. It was full of cheese. The cheese was melted and bubbling and smoking. It looked ugly and yucky.
+
+Sara and Ben said, "Ew, gross. That is not a cake. That is a mess."
+
+They turned off the stove and threw away the pan. They decided to play something else. They did not want to be cooks anymore. They learned a lesson. They learned that cheese and eggs and chickens do not make a good cake. They learned that springing to the farm was a bad idea. They learned that some things are better left alone.
+Anna likes to help her mom with the mail. She likes to put the letters in the envelopes and stick the stamps on them. Mom says she is a good helper.
+
+One day, Anna sees a big envelope on the table. It has a shiny sticker on it and a lot of words. Anna thinks it is a special letter for someone. She wants to see what is inside. She tries to open the envelope, but it is sealed very tight. She pulls and pulls, but it does not open.
+
+She gets a pair of scissors from the drawer. She thinks she can cut the envelope open. She does not know that the scissors are sharp and dangerous. She does not know that the envelope has money in it for the rent.
+
+She starts to cut the envelope, but she slips and cuts her finger. She cries out loud and drops the scissors and the envelope. Mom hears her and runs to the table. She sees the blood and the torn envelope. She is very angry and very scared.
+
+She picks up Anna and takes her to the bathroom. She washes her finger and puts a band-aid on it. She tells Anna that she is very sorry that she got hurt, but she is also very sorry that she cut the envelope. She tells Anna that the envelope had money for the house and that she should not touch the mail without asking. She tells Anna that the scissors are not for playing and that she could have hurt herself more.
+
+Anna feels bad. She says she is sorry to mom. She says she did not know that the envelope had money and that the scissors were sharp. She says she just wanted to see the letter. She hugs mom and says she loves her.
+
+Mom hugs Anna back and says she loves her too. She says she is glad that Anna is okay and that she is sorry for yelling. She says she knows that Anna was curious and that she likes to help. She says she will show her the letter later and explain what it is. She says they will find a way to fix the envelope and pay the rent. She says they will be careful with the mail and the scissors from now on.
+
+Anna smiles and says okay. She says she learned a lesson. She says she will not cut the mail again. She says she will ask mom before she touches anything. She says she will be a good helper and a good listener. Mom smiles and says she is proud of her. They hug and kiss and go back to the table. They finish the mail together and put it in the mailbox. They are happy and safe.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their cat, Max. Max is a playful cat. He likes to chase balls and jump on the sofa.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily are having breakfast. They have cereal and milk. They pour some milk in a bowl for Max, too. Max is happy. He licks the milk and purrs.
+
+But then, a naughty mouse comes out of a hole. He sees the milk. He is hungry. He runs to the bowl and tries to steal the milk from Max.
+
+Max sees the mouse. He is angry. He hisses and scratches the mouse. The mouse squeaks and runs away.
+
+Ben and Lily hear the noise. They look at Max and the mouse. They laugh.
+
+"Bad mouse!" Ben says. "You can't steal Max's milk!"
+
+"Good Max!" Lily says. "You are a brave cat!"
+
+They hug Max and give him more milk. Max is happy. He licks their faces and purrs.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toy soldiers. They liked to pretend they were in a big army and march around the grass. They made loud noises with their mouths and waved their sticks like guns.
+
+"Look, Max, there is a hill over there. Let's march up and see what's on the other side," Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go. Maybe we can find some enemies to fight," Max said.
+
+They picked up their toy soldiers and marched up the hill. They felt very brave and strong. They reached the top and looked down. They saw a big lake with a lot of water. The water was shiny and blue.
+
+"Wow, look at the water, Lily. It's so pretty. Can we go and play in it?" Max asked.
+
+"No, Max, we can't. That's not a lake, that's a flood. A flood is when there is too much water and it covers everything. It's very dangerous. We have to stay away from it," Lily said.
+
+"But why is there a flood, Lily? Where did the water come from?" Max asked.
+
+"I don't know, Max. Maybe it rained a lot, or maybe a big pipe broke. But we have to go back now. Come on, let's march down the hill and find our mom and dad. They will tell us what to do," Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go. But the flood is still amazing. I wish I could see it closer," Max said.
+
+They marched down the hill and found their mom and dad. They told them about the flood and their toy soldiers. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were very proud of them for being careful and smart. They said they would take them home and make them some hot chocolate. Lily and Max smiled and held their hands. They were happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red things on it. Lily said, "Look, Ben, cherries! I love cherries. They are sweet and juicy. Let's pick some and eat them."
+
+Ben said, "OK, Lily, but be careful. We don't know who owns the tree. Maybe they will be angry if we take their cherries."
+
+Lily said, "Don't worry, Ben. I don't see anyone here. And we are very hungry. Come on, help me reach the cherries."
+
+They climbed the tree and picked some cherries. They ate them and smiled. They were very good. But then, they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing in my tree? Those are my cherries! Get down from there right now!"
+
+They looked down and saw a big man with a stick. He looked very mad. He was the owner of the tree. He came to the tree and shook it. Lily and Ben fell from the tree. They hurt their heads and knees. They cried.
+
+The man said, "You are bad children. You stole my cherries. You have to pay for them. Give me your toys and your money."
+
+Lily and Ben had no toys and no money. They only had some cherries in their hands. They gave them to the man. He took them and said, "That's not enough. You have to work for me. You have to pick all the cherries from the tree and put them in a basket. And you can't eat any of them. If you do, I will hit you with my stick."
+
+Lily and Ben were very scared and sad. They had to work for the man. They were still hungry. They wished they never saw the cherries. They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to Ben. They should have known better.
+Anna likes to work on math. She likes to count and add and take away. She has a math book with many pages. She works on one page every day.
+
+One day, she sees a page with tough math. It has big numbers and signs she does not know. She tries to work on it, but she feels stuck. She does not know how to do it.
+
+She asks her mom for help. Her mom comes and looks at the page. She says, "This is tough math, Anna. This is for older kids. You do not have to do this page. You can skip it and do the next one."
+
+Anna says, "But I want to do it, mom. I want to learn tough math. Can you teach me?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Okay, Anna. I can teach you some tough math. But you have to be patient and listen carefully. It may take some time and practice. Are you ready?"
+
+Anna nods and says, "Yes, mom. I am ready. I want to work on tough math with you."
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with paper and scissors. They cut out shapes and animals and made them into stories. One day, they decided to make a big palace out of paper. They cut out many walls and windows and doors and glued them together. They also cut out flags and flowers and stars to decorate the palace. They made it very colorful and pretty.
+
+They were very proud of their paper palace and showed it to their mom and dad. Mom and dad said it was very nice and gave them a hug. They told them to be careful with the scissors and not to cut themselves or anything else. Anna and Ben nodded and said they would be careful.
+
+They put the paper palace on the table and went to get some snacks. But they forgot to put away the scissors. When they came back, they saw that their paper palace was ruined. Someone had cut it into pieces and made a mess. They were very sad and angry. They looked around and saw their little brother Tommy hiding behind the couch. He had the scissors in his hand and a guilty look on his face.
+
+"Tommy, why did you do that?" Anna asked. "You ruined our paper palace!"
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Tommy said. "I wanted to play with the scissors and the paper. They looked so fun and colorful. I didn't mean to break your palace."
+
+"That's not how you play with scissors and paper," Ben said. "You have to ask first and be gentle and careful. You could have hurt yourself or us or the table. And you made us very sad. You have to say sorry and help us clean up."
+
+Tommy realized he had done something bad. He felt sorry for his brother and sister. He said sorry again and helped them pick up the pieces of paper. He also gave them a hug and promised not to do it again. Anna and Ben forgave him and hugged him back. They decided to make a new paper palace together, and this time they shared the scissors and the paper with Tommy. They learned that playing with scissors and paper can be fun, but only if they are careful and respectful. They also learned that saying sorry and forgiving are important when they make a mistake. They had fun making their new paper palace and playing with their stories.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a frog near the pond. Lily wanted to touch the frog, but Ben was afraid.
+
+"Look, a frog!" Lily said. "Can I hold it?"
+
+"No, don't!" Ben said. "It might jump or bite you!"
+
+Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand and tried to grab the frog. But the frog was too fast. It stretched its legs and hopped away.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Lily said. She ran after the frog, but it jumped into the water.
+
+Lily was upset. She wanted to play with the frog. She sat on the grass and pouted.
+
+Ben felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He looked around and saw a flower. He picked it and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Here, this is for you," he said. "It's pretty and smells good."
+
+Lily smiled. She took the flower and smelled it. She liked the flower. She hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, you are a good friend."
+
+Ben smiled too. He was glad that Lily was not upset anymore. They played with the flower and forgot about the frog.
+Tom and Lily are playing outside in the park. It is cold and windy, but they have fun. They run, jump, slide and swing. They see some ducks in the pond and throw some bread for them.
+
+"Look, Tom, the ducks are hungry!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, they are. They like the bread. They are gentle ducks. They do not bite," Tom says.
+
+They watch the ducks eat and swim for a while. Then they hear their mom call them.
+
+"Tom, Lily, it is time to go home. Come here, please," mom says.
+
+They run to mom. She gives them a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Did you have fun, my loves?" mom asks.
+
+"Yes, mom, we did. We played a lot. We saw the ducks. They are gentle," Lily says.
+
+"That is nice, Lily. I am glad you enjoyed the park. But now we have to go home. It is getting dark and cold. Put on your jackets, please," mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily put on their jackets. They are warm and cozy. They hold mom's hand and walk to the car.
+
+"Mom, can we keep the jackets?" Tom asks.
+
+"Of course, Tom. They are your jackets. You can keep them. They will keep you warm and safe," mom says.
+

+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She loves them too. She drives them home. They have a nice dinner and a good night's sleep. They dream of the park and the gentle ducks.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their new toy, a big kangaroo. They liked to make it hop and bounce on the grass. They also liked to hide it behind the trees and bushes and then find it again.
+
+"Let's hide the kangaroo in the big slide," Max said. "Then we can surprise Mommy when she comes to get us."
+
+"Okay," Lily agreed. They carried the kangaroo to the slide and pushed it inside. Then they ran to the swings and waited for Mommy.
+
+But they were careless. They did not see the other kids who came to the slide. One of them saw the kangaroo and pulled it out.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" he said. "A kangaroo! Can I play with it?"
+
+"Sure," his friend said. "Let's take it to the sandbox."
+
+They ran away with the kangaroo, leaving Lily and Max without their toy.
+
+"Hey, that's our kangaroo!" Lily shouted. "Give it back!"
+
+But the kids did not hear her. They were too busy playing with the kangaroo.
+
+Lily and Max felt sad and angry. They ran to the slide and saw that the kangaroo was gone.
+
+"Where is our kangaroo?" Max asked. "Who took it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "But we have to find it. It's our kangaroo."
+
+They looked around the park, but they could not see the kangaroo or the kids who took it.
+
+They started to cry. They wanted their kangaroo back.
+
+Mommy came to the park and saw them crying. She asked them what was wrong.
+
+"Someone took our kangaroo," Lily said. "We hid it in the slide, but they found it and ran away with it."
+
+Mommy hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was not nice of them. But don't worry, we will find your kangaroo. Come on, let's look together."
+
+She took their hands and walked with them around the park. She asked the other parents and kids if they had seen the kangaroo.
+
+Finally, they found the kids who had taken the kangaroo. They were still playing with it in the sandbox.
+
+Mommy went to them and said, "Excuse me, but that kangaroo belongs to my children. They hid it in the slide, but you took it without asking. That was not fair. Please give it back to them."
+
+The kids looked at Mommy and then at Lily and Max. They saw that they were upset and sorry.
+
+"We're sorry," they said. "We didn't know it was yours. We just wanted to play with it. It's a cool kangaroo."
+
+They gave the kangaroo back to Lily and Max, who hugged it and thanked them.
+
+"It's okay," Lily and Max said. "You can play with it too, if you want. But you have to ask first."
+
+The kids nodded and smiled. They said they were sorry again and asked if they could be friends.
+
+Lily and Max said yes. They decided to share the kangaroo and play together.
+
+Mommy was proud of them. She said they were very kind and forgiving.
+
+They all had fun in the park with the kangaroo. They learned to be careful with their toys and to respect other people's things. They also made new friends. They were happy.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the pond. They saw many fish and frogs and bugs in the water. One day, they saw a shrimp. It was small and pink and had many legs.
+
+"Look, a shrimp!" Tom said. "I want to catch it and keep it as a pet."
+
+"No, Tom, that is not nice," Sam said. "The shrimp lives in the pond. It is happy here. If you take it away, it will be sad and scared."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He reached his hand into the water and grabbed the shrimp. He put it in a jar and closed the lid. He was glad he had a new pet.
+
+The shrimp was not glad. It missed its home and its friends. It could not breathe well in the jar. It felt very bad. It tried to stretch its legs and tail, but it had no space. It wished Tom would let it go.
+
+The next day, Tom and Sam came back to the pond. Tom brought his jar with the shrimp. He wanted to show it to Sam.
+
+"See, this is my pet shrimp," Tom said. "Isn't it cool?"
+
+Sam looked at the shrimp. It was not cool. It was sick and weak. It did not move much. It looked very sad.
+
+"Tom, your shrimp is not happy," Sam said. "It needs to go back to the pond. It needs fresh water and space and friends. Please let it go."
+
+Tom looked at his shrimp. He saw that Sam was right. He felt sorry for the shrimp. He did not want to hurt it. He opened the jar and poured the water and the shrimp back into the pond.
+
+The shrimp felt the water touch its body. It felt good. It could breathe and stretch and swim. It saw its friends and joined them. It was very glad.
+
+Tom and Sam watched the shrimp. They saw that it was happy. They felt happy too.
+
+"Sam, you were right," Tom said. "The shrimp belongs in the pond. I was wrong to take it away. I am sorry."
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Sam said. "You learned your lesson. Next time, we can just watch the shrimp and let it be."
+
+Tom and Sam hugged. They learned to respect the shrimp and other animals. They played in the pond and had fun. They were good friends.
+Lila was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to read books, draw pictures, and play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite one was a shiny ball that looked like the universe. It had stars and planets and moons on it, and it made her feel happy and curious.
+
+One day, Lila's mom told her that they were going to visit her grandma. Lila was excited, because she loved her grandma very much. She packed her bag with some clothes, books, and her universe ball. She did not want to leave it at home, because she wanted to show it to her grandma.
+
+When they arrived at grandma's house, Lila ran to hug her. Grandma was very happy to see her, and gave her a big kiss. She said, "Hello, my sweet Lila. I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the living room." Lila followed her, wondering what the surprise was.
+
+In the living room, Lila saw a big box with a bow on it. It had her name on it. Grandma said, "This is for you, my dear. I made it myself. I hope you like it." Lila opened the box, and gasped. Inside, there was a beautiful quilt, with patches of different colors and patterns. And on each patch, there was a picture of something from the universe. Lila saw stars, planets, moons, comets, and even a rocket.
+
+Lila was amazed. She hugged the quilt, and then hugged her grandma. She said, "Thank you, grandma. This is the best gift ever. You are so clever and kind. I love you so much." Grandma smiled, and said, "You're welcome, Lila. I love you too. I know how much you like the universe, and I wanted to make something special for you. You can use it to keep warm, or to play with, or to dream about. It's yours to enjoy."
+
+Lila was very happy. She received a wonderful gift from her grandma, who knew her so well. She felt lucky and grateful. She decided to share her universe ball with her grandma, and they played together, looking at the pictures and talking about the universe. They had a lot of fun, and learned from each other. Lila and her grandma were very close, and they loved the universe.
+Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to sit on the bench and talk.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big dog in the park. She was scared of dogs. She ran to the bench and hid behind Tom. Tom was not scared of dogs. He liked to pet them and play with them.
+
+"Tom, please help me. The dog is coming," Sara said.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara. The dog is nice. He just wants to say hello. Trust me, he won't hurt you," Tom said.
+
+He held Sara's hand and walked to the dog. The dog wagged his tail and licked Tom's face. Tom laughed and scratched the dog's ears. Sara saw that the dog was friendly. She touched the dog's fur and smiled.
+
+"See, Sara? The dog is not scary. He is soft and warm. He likes you too," Tom said.
+
+Sara was glad that Tom was her friend. He helped her face her fear. She gave Tom a hug and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I trust you. And I like the dog too. He is cute," Sara said.
+
+They played with the dog for a while. Then they went back to the bench and shared a cookie. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+
+The moral of the story is: Trust your friends. They can help you overcome your fears. And don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, things that seem scary are actually nice.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the attic. The attic was a big room under the roof. It had many old things that belonged to their grandma and grandpa. Sometimes they found toys, books, or clothes that they could use for their games.
+
+One day, they saw a big gray box in the corner of the attic. They wondered what was inside. They opened the box and found a soft blanket, a pillow, and a teddy bear. "Look, Lily, it's a bed!" Tom said. "Maybe we can lay here and pretend we are camping."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She liked the idea. They took the blanket, the pillow, and the teddy bear and made a cozy spot on the floor. They lay down and covered themselves with the blanket. They hugged the teddy bear and talked about their camping adventure. They imagined they were in a forest, with trees, birds, and stars.
+
+They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. They were too busy having fun. They fell asleep in the attic, dreaming of their campfire and marshmallows. Their mom found them later and smiled. She did not wake them up. She let them sleep in the attic, with the gray box, the soft blanket, the pillow, and the teddy bear. She knew they had a good day.
+Tim and Pat are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big loop in the park. It is made of metal and has a hole in the middle. They think it is fun to roll their cars through the loop.

+But there is a problem. A bald man is sitting on a bench near the loop. He does not like noise. He does not like children. He does not like cars. He wants to prevent Tim and Pat from playing with the loop. He gets up and walks to the loop. He tries to take it away.
+
+Tim and Pat are scared. They do not want to lose their loop. They do not want to make the bald man angry. They think of a plan. They grab their cars and run to the other side of the loop.

+
+A man who works in the park sees them quarreling. He walks over to them and says, "Why are you quarreling over the toy truck? There are many other toys in the park. Why don't you play with something else?"
+

+
+"Can I take my furry bear?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"Of course, you can, sweetie. He is your best friend. But you have to attach him to your suitcase, so he doesn't get lost," Mom said.
+
+"How do I do that?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Look, there is a strap on your suitcase. You can put it around your bear's neck and buckle it. Then he will be safe and close to you," Mom explained.

+Lily loved her bicycle. It was red and shiny, and it had a bell and a basket. She liked to ride it around the park with her mom and dad. Sometimes she saw other kids on their bicycles, and she waved and smiled at them.
+
+One day, she saw a boy who had no bicycle. He was sitting on a bench, looking sad. Lily felt sorry for him. She wanted to make him happy. She had an idea. She rode her bicycle to the boy and stopped in front of him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to try my bicycle?" she asked, in a friendly voice.
+
+The boy looked up and saw Lily's shiny bicycle. His eyes lit up. He nodded and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, that's very kind of you. I'm Sam," he said, in a shy voice.
+
+Lily helped him get on her bicycle and showed him how to pedal and steer. Sam was a little nervous at first, but soon he was having fun. He rang the bell and laughed. Lily ran beside him, cheering him on.

+
+"Good job, Lily!" Ben says. He looks for a match too. He finds two cards with a red apple.

+
+One day, their grandma came to visit them. She brought them a present: a new book with pictures and stories. Ben and Lily were happy to see their grandma, but they did not want to quit playing with the train.
+
+"Come on, Ben and Lily, let's read the book together," grandma said. "It has stories about distant lands and animals."
+
+"Maybe later, grandma," Ben said. "We want to play with the train."
+
+"Yeah, the train is more fun," Lily said.
+
+Grandma felt sad. She wanted to spend time with her grandchildren, but they did not seem to care. She sat on the couch and opened the book by herself.
+
+Ben and Lily played with the train for a while, but soon they got bored. They had seen all the tracks and places before. They looked at grandma and saw her reading the book. She looked lonely and quiet.
+
+"Ben, do you think grandma is mad at us?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe," Ben said.
+
+"Should we go and say sorry?" Lily asked.
+
+"I think so," Ben said.
+
+They left the train and walked to the couch. They hugged grandma and said, "We're sorry, grandma. We love you. Can you read us the book?"
+
+Grandma smiled and kissed them. She said, "Of course, my dears. I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you want to read with me. The book has many wonderful stories. Let's start with this one. It's about a lion and a mouse."
+
+Ben and Lily listened to grandma's voice and looked at the pictures. They learned about distant lands and animals. They forgot about the train and enjoyed the visit. They were happy and so was grandma.

+
+One day, her brother Tom finds her journal. He is curious and wants to read it. He tries to open the lock with his toy car, but it does not work. He looks for the key, but he cannot find it. He thinks Anna hid it somewhere.
+
+He goes to Anna's room and sees her playing with her dolls. He asks her, "Can I see your journal?"
+
+Anna shakes her head. "No, you cannot. It is mine. It is private."
+
+"Please, Anna. I just want to look. I will not tell anyone."

+
+Tom says, "Anna has a journal and she will not let me see it. It is not fair."
+
+Anna says, "Tom took my journal and he will not give it back. It is not nice."
+
+Mom says, "Tom, give Anna her journal back. It is hers and she can decide who can see it. Anna, do not cry. It is just a journal. You can write more later."
+
+Tom gives Anna her journal back. He says, "Sorry, Anna. I was just curious."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, Tom. But do not touch my journal again. It is special to me."
+
+Mom says, "Why don't you two play something else? How about a puzzle? I have a new one that is fit for you. It has animals and colors."
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They say, "Okay, mom. That sounds fun."
+
+They go to the table and start the puzzle. They forget about the journal and the fight. They are happy and calm. Mom smiles and goes back to her book.
+Lily liked to sleep with her hero doll. It was a fancy doll that looked like a princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown and long hair. Lily hugged her hero doll every night and told her stories.
+
+One night, Lily heard a loud noise outside her window. She was scared and hid under her blanket. She whispered to her hero doll, "What is that? Is it a monster?"
+
+Her hero doll said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. I will protect you. I am a hero, remember? I can fight any monster."
+
+Lily peeked out from the blanket and saw a big shadow on the wall. It had horns, claws and teeth. She screamed and held her hero doll tight.
+
+Her hero doll said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's not a real monster. It's just a tree branch. The wind is making it move. See? It's not scary at all."
+
+Lily looked again and saw that her hero doll was right. It was just a tree branch. She felt silly and brave. She said, "Thank you, hero doll. You are very smart and strong. You make me feel safe."
+
+Her hero doll said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are very sweet and brave too. You make me feel happy."
+
+Lily smiled and kissed her hero doll. She said, "I love you, hero doll. You are my best friend."

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals and colors.
+
+Lily is good at animals and colors. She knows the names of many animals and what colors they are. She is careful when she reads the questions and writes the answers. She wants to do well on the quiz.
+
+Tom is not good at animals and colors. He does not remember the names of many animals and what colors they are. He is not careful when he reads the questions and writes the answers. He does not care about the quiz.
+
+When the teacher gives back the quizzes, Lily is happy. She has all the answers right. She gets a star sticker on her quiz. She shows her quiz to Tom and says, "Look, Tom, I got a star sticker. I did well on the quiz. Did you do well too?"
+
+Tom is not happy. He has many answers wrong. He does not get a star sticker on his quiz. He is angry and jealous of Lily. He yells at Lily and says, "Your quiz is stupid. You are stupid. I don't like you. Go away!"
+
+Lily is sad and hurt. She does not understand why Tom is yelling at her. She did not do anything wrong. She says, "Tom, why are you yelling at me? I am your friend. I like you. Don't be mean to me."
+
+The teacher hears Tom yelling at Lily. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, stop yelling at Lily. That is not nice. You should be happy for your friend. She worked hard on her quiz. You should work hard too. You can learn animals and colors if you try. Apologize to Lily and say sorry."
+
+Tom feels ashamed. He knows he was wrong. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. I was angry because I did not do well on my quiz. But that is not your fault. You are a good friend. You are smart. I want to learn from you. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Of course, Tom. We can still be friends. I forgive you. I can help you with animals and colors. We can play and learn together. That is what friends do."
+
+The teacher smiles and says, "That is good, Tom and Lily. You are good friends. You learned a lesson today. You should be careful and work hard on your quizzes.

+
+The moral value of the story is: Be careful and work hard on your quizzes. Be kind and respectful to your friends. Don't yell at them or be jealous of them. Be happy for them and help them. That is how you grow and have fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, Tom felt something in his tummy. He needed to go to the bathroom. He told his mom and she said, "OK, let's go find a bathroom. There is one near the fountain. Come on, Lily, you too."
+
+They walked to the fountain and saw a small building with a sign that said "Bathroom". Mom opened the door and they went inside. There were two stalls, one for boys and one for girls. Mom said, "Tom, you go to the boy's stall and Lily, you go to the girl's stall. I'll wait for you here."
+
+Tom and Lily went to their stalls and did their business. They felt much better. They flushed the toilets and washed their hands with soap and water. They dried their hands with paper towels and threw them in the trash.
+
+They came out of their stalls and saw their mom smiling. She said, "Good job, Tom and Lily. You are very good at using the bathroom. This is a perfect bathroom. It is clean and has everything we need. Now, let's go back to the park and play some more."

+
+"Let's go up the hill," Lily says. "Maybe we can see the whole park from there."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But be careful. The hill is high and steep."
+
+They hold hands and start to climb. They see rocks and dirt and grass. They also see shiny things in the rocks. They are minerals. They are pretty and colorful.
+
+"Look, Lily," Tom says. "I found a blue mineral. It sparkles in the sun."
+
+"Wow, Tom," Lily says. "That's a nice mineral. I found a pink one. It's smooth and round."
+
+They put the minerals in their pockets. They keep climbing. They reach the top of the hill. They are happy. They can see the whole park. They can see the swings, the slide, the sandbox, and the pond. They can also see their moms, who are waiting for them.
+
+"Hi, moms," Lily and Tom shout. "We visited the hill. We found minerals. They are beautiful."
+
+"Hi, kids," their moms shout back. "We're glad you had fun. But it's time to go home now. Come down carefully."
+
+Lily and Tom wave to their moms. They hold hands and start to go down. They are careful. They are proud of their minerals. They want to show them to their moms. They had a good visit.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was the big red engine. They pretended it was a fire engine that could put out fires and save people.
+
+One day, they decided to play with the engine in the mud. They made the engine go through the mud and splash it everywhere. They had a lot of fun, but they also made the engine very dirty. They did not care, they just left it in the mud and went to play with something else.
+
+The next day, they wanted to play with the engine again, but they could not find it. They looked everywhere, but they could not see the big red engine. They asked their mom, and she said, "I saw your engine in the mud yesterday. It was so dirty, I had to wash it. But the mud was so sticky, it made the engine sour. It does not work anymore, it is broken. I threw it away in the trash."
+
+Tom and Sam were very sad. They cried and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to break the engine. We liked it so much, we just wanted to have fun. But we forgot to clean it. We were not careful with our toy."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I know, boys. But you have to learn to take care of your things. If you want them to last, you have to wash them and keep them clean. That is how you show respect and gratitude for what you have. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will be more careful next time. We will wash our toys and keep them clean. We are sorry we lost the engine, but we still have each other. We are still friends."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's right, boys. You are still friends, and that is the most important thing. Friends are more precious than toys. And I have a surprise for you. I bought you a new engine. It is blue and shiny, and it works very well. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Tom and Sam cheered and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. We love you, mom. And we love our new engine. We will take good care of it, we promise."
+
+Mom gave them the new engine and said, "You are welcome, boys. I love you too. Now go and play, but remember to wash your engine when you are done. And have fun, but be safe."
+
+Tom and Sam hugged mom and said, "We will, mom. Thank you, mom." Then they ran outside to play with their new engine. They were happy and learned a valuable lesson.
+Sara and Ben were playing with bricks in the yard. They liked to build towers and houses with the bricks. They had many colors of bricks: red, blue, yellow, green, and white.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower with red bricks!" Sara said to Ben.
+
+"That's nice, but I like to mix the colors," Ben said. He showed Sara his house, which had bricks of different colors.
+
+"Why do you mix the colors?" Sara asked. "It looks messy."
+
+"I think it looks fun and pretty," Ben said. "And I can make more shapes with the bricks. See, I made a door and a window."
+
+Sara looked at Ben's house. She saw that he had used some white bricks to make the door and the window. She thought they looked pale and boring.
+
+"I don't like the white bricks," Sara said. "They are too pale. They don't match the other colors."
+
+Sara reached for the white bricks and tried to take them from Ben's house. But Ben did not want to give them to her.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Ben said. "Those are my bricks. You have your own bricks."
+
+Sara and Ben started to pull and tug at the white bricks. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. They did not play nicely.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud crash. They looked up and saw that their tower and house had fallen down. The bricks were scattered all over the yard. Sara and Ben felt sad and sorry.
+
+They realized that they had been silly and mean. They had ruined their own and each other's creations. They had wasted their time and fun.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to work together and rebuild their tower and house. They agreed to use all the colors of bricks, even the white ones. They learned to respect and appreciate each other's choices. They learned to mix and match. They learned to be friends.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big basket of fruit on a bench. It had apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. They both wanted to eat some fruit.
+
+"Can we have some fruit, please?" Tom asked a lady who was sitting next to the basket.
+
+"Sure, you can have one each. But be careful, they are not normal fruit. They are magic fruit. They can make you happy, sad, angry or silly. You have to choose wisely." The lady said.
+
+Tom and Lily were curious. They each picked a fruit. Tom chose an apple and Lily chose a grape. They thanked the lady and ran away to eat their fruit.
+
+But as soon as they bit into their fruit, they felt strange. Tom felt very angry and Lily felt very silly. Tom started to yell at Lily and Lily started to laugh at Tom. They had a big fight and said mean things to each other.
+
+They threw their fruit away and ran to opposite sides of the park. They were not friends anymore.
+
+The lady saw what happened and felt sorry for them. She followed them and gave them each a new fruit. She gave Tom a banana and Lily an orange.
+
+"These are normal fruit. They will make you feel better. But you have to do something first. You have to forgive each other. Forgiving means saying sorry and being nice again. Can you do that?" The lady asked.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They remembered how much they liked to play and share. They felt bad for hurting each other. They nodded and walked towards each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to laugh at you. You are my best friend." Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to yell at you. You are my best friend too." Tom said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They ate their normal fruit and felt happy again. They thanked the lady and went back to play in the park. They learned to forgive and to be careful with magic fruit.

+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They do not like Max. He is mean and rude. They say, "No, you go away! You are not the best slider. You are a bully. You have to share and be nice. This is our slide too!"
+
+Max laughs and says, "No, I do not have to share and be nice. I can do what I want. You are just babies. You cannot stop me."
+
+Lily and Ben think. They are smart. They have an idea. They say, "OK, Max. You can slide. But we have a challenge for you. If you are the best slider, you have to slide backwards. Can you do that?"
+
+Max says, "Of course I can do that. That is easy. Watch me." He climbs up the slide. He turns around. He slides backwards. But he does not see the big ball at the end of the slide. He slides into the ball. He falls off the slide. He lands on the floor. He cries.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They say, "See, Max. You are not the best slider. You are a silly slider. You should be careful and look where you are going. And you should be kind and respectful to others. Then you can have fun and make friends."
+
+Max says, "I am sorry, Lily and Ben. You are right. I was wrong. I was mean and rude. I did not share and be nice. I hurt myself and you. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Max. We can forgive you. We can be friends. But you have to promise to change. You have to wait for your turn. You have to slide safely. You have to share and be nice. Then we can all play and have fun at the gym."
+
+Max says, "I promise, Lily and Ben. I will change. I will wait for my turn. I will slide safely. I will share and be nice. Thank you for giving me another chance. You are smart and kind. You are good friends."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "You are welcome, Max. You are brave and sorry. You are a good friend too. Come on, let's slide together. But this time, let's slide forwards. It is more fun and less dangerous."
+
+They all climb up the slide. They slide forwards. They laugh and cheer. They have fun and play at the gym. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird with a long neck and legs. It is black and white and has no wings.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is an ostrich," Ben says.
+
+"An ostrich? What is an ostrich?" Lila says.
+
+Ben shrugs. He does not know much about ostriches. He only saw one in a book once.
+
+They go closer to the bird. The bird sees them and makes a loud noise. It sounds like a honk.
+
+"Hello, bird. What is your name?" Lila says.
+
+The bird honks again. It does not answer.
+
+"Maybe it does not speak our words. Maybe it speaks ostrich words," Ben says.
+
+"Let's try to call it. Maybe it will come to us," Lila says.
+
+They both make honking noises. They hope the bird will like them.
+
+The bird looks at them. It seems curious. It takes a few steps towards them.
+
+"Look, it is coming. It likes our honking," Lila says.
+
+They smile and honk some more. They want to be friends with the unknown ostrich.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They put everything in the bowl and started to stir.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Tom said. "We are good cooks!"
+
+"Yes, we are!" Lily said. "Mom will love our cake!"

+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a fierce dog barking outside. They ran to the window and saw a big, black dog with sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was trying to get into the house.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily cried. "There is a fierce dog outside!"
+
+They ran to the door and locked it. They hoped the dog would go away.
+
+"Mom! Mom!" they shouted. "Where are you?"
+
+Mom heard their cries and came downstairs. She saw the fierce dog outside and the cake in the oven.
+
+"Oh, my!" she said. "What is going on here?"
+
+She opened the door and saw that the dog was not fierce at all. It was just hungry and lonely. It wagged its tail and licked her hand.
+
+"Hello, doggy," she said. "Are you lost?"
+
+She gave the dog some water and some food. The dog was happy and friendly. Tom and Lily came out and petted the dog. They were not afraid anymore.
+
+"Can we keep him, Mom?" they asked.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Maybe. But first, we have to find out if he has a home and a name. And then, we have to eat our cake. You made a cake for me?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We made a cake for you. We stirred and stirred and stirred!"

+"No, I want to go first!" Ben says.
+
+They are very competitive. They do not listen to each other. They ignore their mom, who tells them to take turns.
+
+Mom is not happy. She goes to the garden and takes them by the hand. She brings them to the sandbox.
+
+"Look, there are two shovels and two buckets. You can both play here. You can make sand castles and dig holes. But you have to be nice and share. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are sorry. They do not want to make Mom sad. They say sorry to each other.
+
+They play in the sandbox. They have fun. They make a big sand castle together. They share the shovels and the buckets. They do not fight. They do not ignore Mom. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She smiles and gives them a hug.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. Sara saw a big green plant with many leaves. She wondered what it was.
+
+"Ben, what is this?" she asked, pointing to the plant.
+
+"That is an herb," Ben said. "Mommy uses it to make food. It smells good. Do you want to smell it?"
+
+Sara nodded and bent down to sniff the herb. She liked the smell. It was fresh and spicy. She smiled and picked a leaf.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise made them jump. It was a cat, hiding behind the herb. It hissed and showed its teeth. Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped the leaf and ran away.
+
+"Meow!" the cat said. It was not a mean cat. It was just playing. It liked the herb too. It rubbed its head on the plant and purred.
+
+Sara and Ben ran to Mommy. They told her about the cat and the herb.
+
+"Mommy, the cat scared us!" Sara said.
+
+"Mommy, the herb smelled lovely!" Ben said.
+
+Mommy hugged them and smiled.
+
+"Don't worry, my loves. The cat was just having fun. It won't hurt you. And the herb is called mint. It is good for your breath. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They were curious. Mommy gave them each a leaf of mint. They chewed it and felt a cool sensation in their mouths.
+
+"Mmm, it tastes good!" Sara said.
+
+"It makes me feel fresh!" Ben said.
+
+Mommy laughed and kissed them.
+
+"I'm glad you like it. Mint is a wonderful herb. And you are wonderful children. Now, let's go and say hello to the cat. Maybe it wants to be our friend."
+Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She had a small shovel and a bucket. She dug holes and put seeds in them. Mom gave her water to pour on the seeds. Lily was happy to see the plants grow.
+
+One day, mom said they had to complete the garden. She said they needed to make it look nice and neat. She gave Lily a rake and a broom. Lily raked the leaves and the dirt. She swept the path and the steps. She worked hard and felt rough on her hands.
+
+When they finished, mom hugged Lily and said she did a great job. She said the garden was beautiful and they could enjoy it. She gave Lily a cookie and some juice. Lily smiled and said she loved the garden and mom. They sat on the bench and looked at the flowers and the birds. Lily felt proud and happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there is gold in there," Tom said. "Let's dig and find out."
+
+They took their shovels and started to dig. They dug and dug until they saw something shiny. It was a blue box with a lock.
+
+"Wow, a blue box!" Sam said. "Maybe there is gold inside. Let's open it."
+
+They tried to break the lock, but it was too hard. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They were sad.
+
+Then, they heard a growl. They turned around and saw a big dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was guarding the hole.
+
+"Uh-oh, a dog!" Tom said. "It does not look happy. Maybe this is its box. We should run."
+
+But it was too late. The dog ran towards them and bit Sam's leg. Sam screamed and dropped his shovel. Tom grabbed his brother and ran away. The dog chased them, but they were faster. They reached their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, Dad, help!" Tom said. "A dog bit Sam. It was guarding a blue box in a hole. We thought there was gold inside, but we could not open it."
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them and checked Sam's leg. It was bleeding, but not too much. They took him to a doctor, who gave him a bandage and a lollipop.
+
+"Sam, you are brave," the doctor said. "But you should not dig in holes. You never know what you might find. And you should not touch things that belong to others. They might bite you."
+
+Sam nodded and said sorry. He learned his lesson. He did not want to dig for gold anymore. He just wanted to play with his brother and his toys. And he hoped the dog was okay, too.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat some.
+
+"Let's get a fork and cut a piece," Tim said.
+
+"OK," Sam said. They looked for a fork in the drawer. They found one. It was shiny and sharp.
+
+Tim climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. Sam stood next to him and held the fork. They were very careful. They did not want Mom to see them.
+
+But Mom came into the kitchen. She saw them with the cake and the fork. She was angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" she shouted. "That cake is for Grandma's birthday! You are very naughty!"
+
+She grabbed the fork from Sam's hand. She pulled Tim off the chair. She spanked them both. They cried. They felt helpless. They could not have any cake. They had to go to their room. They were very sad.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play at school. One day, they saw a big box in the corner. It had a sign that said "Do not open". Tom and Sue were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's search the box," Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun."
+
+"No, Tom," Sue said. "The sign says no. We should listen. Maybe there is something bad."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the box and opened it. Sue followed him. She was scared.
+
+Inside the box, there was a big robot. It had red eyes and metal arms. It looked angry. It made a loud noise. It jumped out of the box and grabbed Tom and Sue.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Sue cried. "Let us go!"
+
+But no one heard them. The robot was too powerful. It took them away from the school. It wanted to use them for its evil plan.
+
+The end.

+
+Anna feels bad. She did not know it was not her book. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to study the book. I did not want to make you upset. I did not want to make my cousin sad."
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "I know, Anna. You did not mean to do it. But you have to be careful with other people's things. You have to ask before you use them. And you have to respect the books. They are not for painting. They are for reading and learning."
+
+Anna nods and says, "I understand, mom. I will be careful next time. I will ask before I use things. I will respect the books. Can I say sorry to my cousin?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. And maybe you can give him a new book to paint. Or you can paint something nice for him on a paper. He will like that."

+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's great! I'm proud of you. Now, it's time for your pills. They will help you stay healthy and strong." Lily and Ben do not like pills. They make faces and say, "Yuck!" and "No!" They disagree with Mom. They do not want to take the pills.
+
+Mom says, "I know, pills are not fun. But they are good for you. If you take them, I will give you a treat. How about a cookie or a sticker?" Lily and Ben think for a moment. They like cookies and stickers. They say, "Okay!" and "Please!" and open their mouths.
+
+Mom gives them the pills and some water. They swallow them and make funny noises. Then, Mom gives them a cookie or a sticker. They say, "Thank you!" and "Yum!" and smile. Mom says, "That's great!

+One day, he saw a big hill in the park. He wanted to zoom down the hill very fast. He thought it would be fun and exciting. He pedaled hard and reached the top of the hill. He looked down and saw a pond at the bottom. He smiled and said to himself, "Here I go!"
+
+But he did not see the duck that was crossing the path. As he zoomed down the hill, he hit the duck and fell off his bike. He landed in the pond with a splash. He was wet and muddy.

+
+Lily was angry. She yelled at Fluffy and tried to get him off the bed. But Fluffy was fast and jumped away. He ran to the window and looked outside. He saw a bird on a branch. He wanted to catch the bird. He forgot about the doll and the ball.
+
+Lily saw her chance. She grabbed the ball and threw it at Fluffy. She wanted to make him stop. But she threw too hard and missed. The ball flew out of the window and hit the bird. The bird was scared and flew away. The ball fell to the ground and bounced away.

+Lily was sad. She lost her ball and her doll was ruined. She cried and ran to her grandma. Her grandma hugged her and comforted her. She said she would fix the doll's hair and buy her a new ball. She said she loved her and Fluffy too. She said they could all play together later.

+Ben and Lily were not scared. They thought the rat was funny. They waved back at the rat and smiled.
+
+"Hi, rat, we are Ben and Lily. We want to be your friends. Can we play with you?" Ben said.
+
+The rat did not want to play. It wanted to be alone. It picked up a heavy rock and threw it at Ben and Lily. It missed them, but it made a loud noise.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Lily said. "That was not nice, rat. You should not throw rocks at people."
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They did not like the rat anymore. They decided to leave the hole and go to the other side of the hill. They hoped to find something nicer there.
+
+"Bye, rat, we are going now. Maybe you will be nicer next time." Ben said.
+
+The rat did not say bye. It went back into the hole and hid. It was happy to be alone. It did not want any friends.

+Lila and Tom are playing with a big box. They find a thin button on the box. Lila wants to press the button. Tom says no.
+
+"Don't press the button, Lila. It might be bad," Tom says.
+
+"Why?" Lila asks. She feels curious.

+
+Tom and Anna shake their heads. They don't know.
+

+Sara picked an apple and Ben picked an orange. But then they saw a big melon. It was round and green and had black seeds. Sara and Ben both wanted the melon. They said to Mom, "Can we buy the melon, please?"
+
+Mom said, "The melon is too big for us. We can't eat it all. And it might be sour. Why don't you buy something else?"
+
+Sara and Ben did not listen. They said, "No, we want the melon. It looks sweet and juicy. Please, Mom, please!"
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "OK, fine. We can buy the melon. But you have to share it and eat it today."

+
+When they got home, Mom cut the melon in half. She gave one half to Sara and one half to Ben. They took big bites of the melon. But they did not like it. The melon was sour and bitter. It made their faces twist and their tongues hurt. They spit out the melon and said, "Yuck! This melon is bad!"
+
+Mom said, "I told you it might be sour. Next time, listen to me and buy something else."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. You were right. We should have listened to you. Can we have some apple and orange instead?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to throw away the melon and wash your hands and mouths."
+
+Sara and Ben did as Mom said. They threw away the melon and washed their hands and mouths. Then they ate some apple and orange. They were sweet and tasty. Sara and Ben learned their lesson. They decided to never buy a melon again.

+"Look, Ben, a zebra!" Lily says. She points to a black and white animal. "It has stripes. It is pretty."
+
+"Yes, it is pretty," Ben says. "But what does it do? Does it roar like a lion? Does it jump like a kangaroo?"
+
+Lily does not know. She wants to find out. She climbs on the truck. She gets close to the zebra. The zebra sees Lily. It makes a noise. It sounds like a horse.
+
+"Hi, zebra," Lily says. "What do you do?"
+
+The zebra does not answer. It moves its head. It licks Lily's face. Lily laughs. She likes the zebra.
+
+"Ben, come here!" Lily says. "The zebra is nice. It licks me."
+
+Ben climbs on the truck. He gets close to the zebra. The zebra licks Ben too. Ben laughs. He likes the zebra too.
+
+"Hello, little ones," a voice says. Lily and Ben turn around. They see a man. He wears a hat and a shirt. He is the driver of the truck. "What are you doing here? This is not a place to play. This is a place to work. I have to take these animals to the zoo."
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They say sorry to the man. They get off the truck. They wave goodbye to the zebra.
+
+"Bye, zebra," Lily says. "You are pretty and nice. I hope you have fun at the zoo."
+
+"Bye, zebra," Ben says. "You are pretty and nice. Maybe we can see you again."
+
+The zebra makes a noise. It sounds like a goodbye. The man starts the truck. He drives away. Lily and Ben go back to the park. They play with their toys. They talk about the zebra. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bush with red berries. Lily wanted to take some berries and eat them. She thought they looked yummy.
+
+"Look, Ben, berries!" Lily said. She ran to the bush and reached for a berry.
+
+"Stop, Lily, no!" Ben shouted. He ran after her and grabbed her hand. "Those berries are bad. They can make you sick. Mommy said so."
+
+Lily was confused. She looked at the berries and then at Ben. She did not understand why they were bad. They looked good to her.
+
+"But why, Ben? Why are they bad?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben did not know how to explain. He only knew what Mommy told him. He tried to think of simple words.
+
+"Because, Lily, they are not for us. They are for birds. Birds can eat them, but we can't. They have something inside that hurts our tummy. Mommy said so." Ben said.
+
+Lily still looked confused, but she trusted Ben. He was her big brother and he knew many things. She let go of the berry and followed Ben to the slide.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I won't take the berries. Let's play on the slide. It's fun." Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. He was glad Lily listened to him. He did not want her to get sick. He loved his sister.
+
+They played on the slide and had fun. They forgot about the bush and the berries. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find rocks. Lily found a big rock that was shiny and smooth. She showed it to Tom and said, "Look at my rock! It is so pretty!"
+
+Tom wanted the rock too. He said, "Give me your rock! I want it!" He tried to grab it from Lily, but she held it tight.
+
+"No, it is my rock! I found it first!" Lily said. She was angry and sad. She did not like to share her rock.
+
+They started to pull and push each other. They made a lot of noise. Mom heard them and came outside. She saw them fighting over the rock. She was not happy.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said. "Why are you fighting over a rock? There are many rocks in the garden. You can each have one."
+
+"But this is the best rock!" Tom said. "It is shiny and smooth!"
+
+Lily did not reply. She looked at her rock and felt sorry. She knew that Tom liked rocks too. She thought for a moment. Then she said, "Tom, do you want to share my rock? We can take turns to hold it and look at it."
+
+Tom was surprised. He did not expect Lily to say that. He looked at her and smiled. He said, "OK, Lily, thank you. We can share your rock. You are a good sister."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were happy again. They showed their rock to Mom and said, "Look, Mom, this is our rock! It is so pretty!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, it is a very pretty rock. And you are very good children. You learned to share and be kind. I am proud of you."
+
+She gave them each a kiss and said, "Now, let's go inside and have some juice. And don't forget to tidy up your toys in the garden."
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their net in the park. They used it to catch bugs and leaves and flowers. Sometimes they showed their net to other kids and shared their finds.
+
+One day, they saw a big butterfly with many colors on its wings. They wanted to catch it with their net, but it flew away very fast. They ran after it, but they did not see where they were going.
+
+"Look out!" a voice shouted. It was Sam, a boy who played soccer in the park. He had a ball and he kicked it hard. The ball hit Tom and Lily's net and made a hole in it.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped the net and rubbed his head. Lily picked up the net and saw the hole. She was sad and angry.
+
+"Sorry!" Sam said. He ran to them and looked at the net. "I did not mean to break your net. It was an accident."
+
+Tom and Lily did not say anything. They were still upset.
+
+Sam felt bad. He wanted to make them feel better. He thought of something. He had a modest idea.
+
+"Hey, I have a net too. It is in my backpack. Do you want to use it?" he asked. He took out his net and showed it to them. It was smaller than Tom and Lily's net, but it was new and had no holes.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at Sam's net. They looked at each other. They remembered that Sam was sorry and that he wanted to help. They remembered that they liked to share their net with other kids. They remembered that they were friends.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. That is very nice of you," Lily said. She smiled at Sam.
+
+"Yes, thank you. You are a good friend," Tom said. He smiled too.
+
+They took Sam's net and gave him their net. They decided to play together and look for more bugs and leaves and flowers. They also decided to play soccer with Sam's ball. They had fun and forgot about the hole. They reminded each other to be careful and kind.
+Lila and Ben were playing pirates in the backyard. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword, and a paper for a map. The map showed them where to find the treasure. It was a shiny necklace that Lila's mom had given her.
+
+They followed the map to the big tree, where they dug a hole with their hands. They found the necklace and cheered. "We are the best pirates ever!" Lila said. "Let's go back to our ship and share the treasure!"
+
+But when they turned around, they saw a big dog running towards them. It was Rex, the neighbor's dog. He was friendly, but he liked to chase and bite things. He saw the paper in Ben's hand and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Rex, no!" Ben shouted. He tried to hold the map away from the dog, but Rex was too fast. He jumped and grabbed the map with his teeth. He ran away with it, wagging his tail.
+
+Lila and Ben were helpless. They did not know how to get the map back. They did not want to lose the treasure. They did not want to make Rex angry. They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+"Hey, what's wrong?" They heard a voice. It was Sam, the older brother of Lila. He had seen the dog take the map and came to help. He had a cookie in his hand. He threw the cookie to Rex, who dropped the map and ran to get the cookie.
+
+"Here, I got your map," Sam said. He picked up the paper and gave it to Ben. He smiled at Lila and Ben. "Don't worry, Rex is just a silly dog. He won't hurt you. Do you want to play pirates with me?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and smiled. They thanked Sam and hugged him. They showed him the necklace and invited him to their ship. They were happy again. They had their map, their treasure, and their friend. They were the best pirates ever.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She helped mom stir the soup, wash the salad, and cut the bread. She felt very jolly and proud.
+
+"Can I drink some juice, mom?" Lily asked. She was thirsty from working hard.
+
+"Of course, dear. Here you go." Mom poured some juice in a cup and handed it to Lily. "You are such a good helper, Lily. Thank you for being so sweet."
+
+Lily smiled and drank her juice. She liked the taste of the juice. It was cold and fruity. She felt happy and refreshed.
+
+"Mom, can I tell you a secret?" Lily whispered.
+
+"Sure, honey. What is it?" Mom leaned down to listen.
+
+Lily hugged mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best mom in the world."
+
+Mom hugged Lily back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best daughter in the world."
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were racing drivers and had fun.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a big boom from the sky. They looked up and saw a huge plane flying very low. It was making a lot of smoke and noise. The plane was shaking and looked like it was going to fall.
+
+Lily and Tom were frightened. They dropped their cars and ran to their mum, who was sitting on a bench. They hugged her and cried.
+
+"Mum, mum, what is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's a plane, sweetie. It's having some trouble, but don't worry. It will be okay," Mum said.
+
+She tried to sound calm, but she was also scared. She hoped the plane would land safely and no one would get hurt.
+
+She held Lily and Tom close and prayed. She looked at their cars on the ground and wished they could go back to playing and laughing.
+Lila and Sam liked to play with paper. They learned how to fold paper into different shapes. One day, they found a book that showed how to fold paper cranes. They wanted to try it.
+
+They took some paper and followed the steps in the book. They folded and folded until they had two paper cranes. They were very proud of their work. They showed their paper cranes to each other.
+
+"Look, I made a red crane!" Lila said.
+
+"Wow, that's very nice! I made a blue crane!" Sam said.
+
+They decided to put their paper cranes on the table and go to the kitchen for a snack. They were hungry and wanted something tasty to eat.
+
+But they did not know that their cat, Max, was watching them. Max was curious and bored. He saw the paper cranes on the table and thought they were toys. He jumped on the table and started to play with them. He pawed and bit and tore the paper cranes. He made a big mess.
+
+When Lila and Sam came back from the kitchen, they saw what Max had done. They were very sad and angry. They cried and yelled at Max.
+
+"Bad cat! Bad cat! You ruined our paper cranes!" Lila said.
+
+"Go away! Go away! You are a mean cat!" Sam said.
+
+Max did not understand why they were so upset. He thought he was just having fun. He ran away and hid under the sofa. He felt scared and sorry.
+
+Lila and Sam tried to fix their paper cranes, but they could not. They were too damaged. They threw them in the trash. They did not want to play with paper anymore. They had a bad day.
+Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Sam had a big box of tools that he liked to pretend with. He had a hammer, a saw, a screwdriver and more. Mia had a doll that she liked to dress up and talk to.
+
+"Can I play with your tools, Sam?" Mia asked. "They look fun."
+
+"No, they are mine!" Sam said. "You have your doll. Go away!"
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to try the tools too. She waited until Sam was not looking and grabbed the hammer. She ran to her doll and tried to hit it with the hammer.
+
+"Stop!" Sam shouted. "You are hurting my hammer and your doll!"
+
+He ran after Mia and tried to take the hammer back. Mia held on tight and they started to pull and push. The hammer flew out of their hands and hit the window. The window broke with a loud noise.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw the broken window, the hammer, the doll and the children.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Mia took my hammer and hit her doll!" Sam said.
+
+"Sam did not let me play with his tools!" Mia said.
+
+They both started to cry and blame each other.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at each other and sighed. They were not happy.
+
+"Listen, children," Dad said. "You both did something wrong. You need to learn to share and be careful with your toys. Tools are not for hitting. They are for fixing and building. Dolls are not for breaking. They are for loving and caring. You also need to learn to repeat after us when we tell you something. Repeat means to say the same thing. It helps you to remember and understand. Can you repeat that?"
+
+Sam and Mia nodded and wiped their tears. They repeated what Dad said.
+
+"Tools are not for hitting. They are for fixing and building. Dolls are not for breaking. They are for loving and caring. Repeat means to say the same thing."
+
+"Very good," Mom said. "Now, can you say sorry to each other and hug?"
+
+Sam and Mia looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry and hugged.
+
+"Can we play together?" Mia asked.
+
+"OK," Sam said. "You can try my tools and I can try your doll."
+
+They smiled and went to play. They were calm and happy.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled too. They were proud of their children. They learned a lesson.
+Tom is a cat. He likes to eat fish and milk. He eats a lot every day. He does not like to run or play. He likes to sleep on the sofa.
+
+One day, Tom sees a yellow bird outside the window. The bird is small and fast. It sings a pretty song. Tom wants to catch the bird. He jumps off the sofa and runs to the window. He tries to break the glass with his paws.
+
+But the glass is too hard. Tom cannot break it. He hurts his paws and his nose. He feels sad and angry. He goes back to the sofa and eats more fish and milk.
+
+Tom eats too much. He gains a lot of weight. He becomes fat and slow. He cannot jump or run anymore. He can only sleep on the sofa.
+
+The yellow bird sees Tom on the sofa. The bird feels sorry for Tom. He flies to the window and sings a nice song. He wants to be Tom's friend.
+
+Tom hears the bird's song. He opens his eyes and sees the bird. He feels happy and curious. He wants to be the bird's friend too. He tries to get up from the sofa and talk to the bird.
+
+But the sofa is too soft. Tom cannot get up. He is stuck on the sofa. He feels sad and tired. He closes his eyes and sleeps again.
+
+The end.
+Sam and Mia like to watch animals. They go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals. They see big animals and small animals. They see loud animals and quiet animals.
+
+Sam and Mia see a monkey. The monkey is very flexible. It can swing and jump and twist. It has a long tail. It can hang from the tail. Sam and Mia think the monkey is funny.
+
+"Look, Mia, the monkey is hanging upside down!" Sam says.
+
+"I see, Sam, the monkey is very silly!" Mia says.
+
+The monkey sees Sam and Mia. It makes a noise. It shows its teeth. It throws a banana peel at them. Sam and Mia laugh.
+
+"Hey, monkey, that is not nice!" Sam says.
+
+"Monkey, monkey, do you want to play?" Mia says.
+
+The monkey makes another noise. It swings to another tree. It finds another banana. It peels the banana and eats it. It looks at Sam and Mia. It winks.
+
+Sam and Mia wink back. They like the monkey. They watch the monkey until it is time to go. They say goodbye to the monkey and to the other animals. They have fun at the zoo.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They gather leaves and flowers and make a big pile. They jump on the pile and laugh.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a yellow leaf. It is like the sun," Tom says.
+
+"I found a red flower. It is like your shirt," Lily says.
+
+They show each other their finds and smile. They are happy.
+
+Then they see a bird. It is brown and white. It sings a pretty song. It lands on a branch near them.
+
+"Hello, bird. What is your name?" Lily asks.
+
+The bird tilts its head and looks at them. It sings again.
+
+"Maybe it is saying hello back," Tom says.
+
+They sit down and listen to the bird. They feel peaceful. They are friends with the bird.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big balloon in the sky. It was bright and colorful. Ben and Lily wanted to see it up close.
+
+Mom said, "That is a hot air balloon. It has gas inside that makes it float. The gas is hot and light. The balloon has a basket where people can sit and fly."
+
+Ben and Lily asked, "Can we go in the balloon, mom?"
+
+Mom said, "Maybe someday, but not today. The balloon is too far and too high. We can watch it from here."
+
+They saw the balloon go over the trees and the houses. It looked like a big ball in the sky. Ben and Lily waved at the balloon. They hoped the people in the basket saw them.
+
+Then, they heard a loud noise. It was like a big fire. They saw the balloon catch fire. The fire spread fast. The balloon became red and orange. The gas came out of the balloon. The balloon started to fall.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They hugged mom. Mom said, "Don't worry, the people in the basket are safe. They have a parachute. They can land on the ground. The firemen will help them."
+
+They saw the people in the basket jump out. They had a big cloth over their heads. The cloth opened like a flower. It slowed them down. They landed on a field. The firemen came with a truck. They put out the fire. They checked on the people.
+
+Ben and Lily were glad. They said, "The people are okay, mom."
+
+Mom said, "Yes, they are okay. They are brave. They had an adventure. But they are also lucky. The balloon was dangerous. We should not play with fire or gas. They can hurt us."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We will not play with fire or gas, mom. We will be careful."
+
+Mom said, "That's good. Now, let's go home and have some ice cream. You did well today. You were calm and smart. I'm proud of you."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They said, "We love you, mom."
+
+They held mom's hand and walked home. They still looked at the sky. They wondered if they would see another balloon someday. They hoped it would be bright and safe.
+Lily was sad. She wanted to play with her mom, but mom was busy. Mom had to work on her computer and talk on her phone. Lily sighed. She looked at her toys, but they were not fun without mom.
+
+She walked to the kitchen. She saw a big cake on the table. It was mom's birthday cake. Lily smiled. She wanted to taste the cake. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. But she was too short. She stretched her arm and her toe. She touched the cake with her finger. It was soft and sweet.
+
+"Yum!" Lily said. She licked her finger. She wanted more cake. She stretched again. But she lost her balance. She fell off the chair. The cake fell too. It landed on the floor. It made a big mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. She heard mom coming. She was scared. She hid under the table.
+
+Mom saw the cake on the floor. She was angry. She looked for Lily. She found her under the table.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" mom asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to taste the cake. It was your birthday cake. I love you, mom." Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. She hugged Lily.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. But you should not touch the cake. It was for later. Now we have no cake." mom said.
+
+Lily felt bad. She wanted to make mom happy. She had an idea.
+
+"Mom, can we make a new cake? I can help you. I can stir and pour and decorate. Please, mom." Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled. She liked Lily's idea. She was not busy anymore. She wanted to play with Lily.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Let's make a new cake. You can help me. It will be fun. And it will be our birthday cake." mom said.
+
+Lily was happy. She ran to the cupboard. She got the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She gave them to mom. They went to the oven. They mixed and baked and frosted. They made a new cake. It was bigger and prettier than the old cake.
+
+They put the cake on the table. They lit the candles. They sang happy birthday. They blew the candles. They cut the cake. They ate the cake. It was delicious.
+
+Lily and mom smiled. They hugged. They were happy. They had a good birthday.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they see a big red truck. The truck has a picture of pizza on it. Tim and Sam love pizza.
+
+"Look, Sam, pizza truck!" Tim says.
+
+"Yum, yum, pizza!" Sam says.
+
+They run to the truck. They see a man. The man is nice. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, boys. Do you want some pizza?" the man asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tim and Sam say.
+
+The man gives them each a slice of pizza. The pizza is hot and cheesy. Tim and Sam are happy. They thank the man.
+
+They sit on the grass. They eat their pizza. They look at the sky. The sun is shining. The sky is blue. They see some clouds. The clouds are white and fluffy.
+
+"Look, Tim, a cloud looks like a dog!" Sam says.
+
+"Look, Sam, a cloud looks like a car!" Tim says.
+
+They laugh. They point at the clouds. They make up stories about the clouds. They have fun.
+
+They finish their pizza. They wipe their mouths. They stand up.
+
+"Let's go play some more!" Tim says.
+
+"OK, let's go!" Sam says.
+
+They run to the slide. They slide down. They giggle. They are good friends. They have a good day.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they have to study for a test. They do not like to study. They think it is boring.
+
+They sit at the table with their books and pencils. Mom says, "You have to study hard, or you will not do well on the test." Tim and Kim nod, but they do not listen. They start to draw pictures and make noises.
+
+Mom comes back and sees their books. She is grumpy. She says, "What are you doing? You are not studying. You are wasting time. You have to learn about pigs and farms and animals. They are important."
+
+Tim and Kim do not care. They say, "We do not like pigs. They are dirty and smelly and noisy. We like cats and dogs and birds. They are cute and friendly and quiet."
+
+Mom says, "Pigs are not dirty and smelly and noisy. They are smart and useful and fun. They can do tricks and help farmers and make bacon. You have to respect them and learn about them."
+
+Tim and Kim do not believe her. They say, "Show us. Show us how pigs are smart and useful and fun."
+
+Mom says, "Fine. I will show you. Come with me." She takes them to the car and drives them to a farm. There, they see many pigs and other animals. Mom introduces them to the farmer. He is nice. He says, "Hello, Tim and Kim. Do you want to see my pigs?"
+
+Tim and Kim say, "Yes, please." They are curious. They follow the farmer to the pig pen. There, they see a big pig with a red ribbon. The farmer says, "This is Rosie. She is my best pig. She can do many tricks. Watch."
+
+The farmer whistles and Rosie comes to him. He gives her a treat and says, "Sit, Rosie. Sit." Rosie sits on her hind legs and wags her tail. Tim and Kim clap and laugh. They say, "Wow, Rosie can sit. That is amazing."
+
+The farmer says, "That is not all. She can also roll over, shake hands, and jump through a hoop. Do you want to see?" Tim and Kim say, "Yes, yes, yes." They watch as Rosie does more tricks. They are amazed and happy. They say, "Rosie is smart and fun. She is a good pig."
+
+The farmer says, "She is. She is also useful. She helps me with the chores. She can carry buckets, pull carts, and find truffles. Do you want to see?" Tim and Kim say, "Yes, yes, yes." They watch as Rosie does more chores. They are impressed and grateful. They say, "Rosie is useful and helpful. She is a great pig."
+
+The farmer says, "She is. She is also my friend. She likes to cuddle, play, and listen. Do you want to see?" Tim and Kim say, "Yes, yes, yes." They watch as Rosie cuddles with the farmer, plays with a ball, and listens to a story. They are touched and happy. They say, "Rosie is friendly and sweet. She is a wonderful pig."
+
+The farmer says, "She is. She is the best pig ever. Do you want to pet her?" Tim and Kim say, "Yes, yes, yes." They go to Rosie and pet her. She snorts and licks them. They giggle and hug her. They say, "We love you, Rosie. You are the best pig ever."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "See, Tim and Kim. Pigs are not dirty and smelly and noisy. They are smart and useful and fun. They are important and worthy and lovable. You have to respect them and learn about them."
+
+Tim and Kim nod and say, "We do, Mom. We do. We respect them and learn about them. We are sorry we were rude and lazy. We will study hard and do well on the test. We will not forget Rosie and the farmer and the farm. Thank you for showing us."
+
+Mom says, "You are welcome, Tim and Kim. I am proud of you. You are smart and kind and brave. You are my best twins ever. I love you."
+
+Tim and Kim say, "We love you too, Mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+They hug and kiss and go back to the car. They are happy and excited. They have learned a lot. They have made new friends. They have had a lot of fun. They have seen how pigs are smart and useful and fun. They have seen how studying is not boring. It is interesting and rewarding and fun. They have seen how they can be better and happier and
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. Lily wanted to go inside the hole. She said to Tom, "Let's go in the hole. Maybe it is a tunnel."
+
+Tom was scared. He said, "No, Lily. The hole is dark and dirty. Maybe there are bugs or rats in there. We should not go in the hole."
+
+Lily was not scared. She was curious. She said, "But Tom, maybe the tunnel is fun and exciting. Maybe there are treasures or fairies in there. We should go and see."
+
+Tom did not want to see. He said, "No, Lily. The tunnel is dangerous and scary. Maybe there are traps or monsters in there. We should stay out."
+
+Lily was clever. She had an idea. She said, "Tom, I have a plan. Why don't we take a flashlight and a rope with us? Then we can see in the dark and pull ourselves out if we need to. Do you want to try?"
+
+Tom thought about it. He liked the idea of the flashlight and the rope. He said, "OK, Lily. You are clever. I will try with you. But we have to be careful and stick together. Do you promise?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, Tom. We will be careful and stick together. Let's go and explore the tunnel."
+
+They took the flashlight and the rope and went inside the hole. They found a tunnel that was long and winding. They saw many things in the tunnel. Some were good and some were bad. But they had fun and learned a lot. They were brave and happy. They were good friends.
+Tommy was a big boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he could zoom around the floor. He also had a towel that he used as a cape. He pretended he was a superhero who could fly and save the day.
+
+One day, Tommy decided to show his mom his superhero skills. He put on his towel cape and ran to the living room. He saw his mom talking on the phone with someone. He thought she would be happy to see him. He jumped on the couch and shouted, "Look, Mom, I can fly!"
+
+But Tommy did not fly. He fell off the couch and landed on the floor. He hit his head and started to cry. His mom dropped the phone and ran to him. She hugged him and asked him if he was okay. She looked at his towel cape and said, "Tommy, what were you doing?"
+
+Tommy felt a pain in his head and a wetness in his pants. He realized he had peed himself. He felt embarrassed and sad. He did not understand why his mom was not proud of him. He did not understand why he could not fly. He did not understand why he had to wear a towel cape. He wished he had never tried to be a superhero. He wished he had just played with his toys. He wished he had a different story.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But today it is very hot. The sun makes them sweat and thirsty. They do not want to share their toys or water.
+
+"Give me the ball!" Tom says. He is grumpy.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily says. She is grumpy too.
+
+They pull the ball from each other. The ball pops. They both cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes outside. She sees the popped ball and the sad twins.
+
+"What happened?" Mom asks.
+
+"We were playing, but it is too hot and we are grumpy," Tom says.
+
+"We wanted the same ball, but it broke," Lily says.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. It is not fun to be hot and grumpy. How about we go inside and have some ice cream?"
+
+Tom and Lily smile and nod. They say sorry to each other and hug. They follow Mom inside. They are happy again.
+Sara loves chocolate. She eats it every day. She does not like to share it with anyone. She is a spoiled girl.
+
+One day, Sara goes to the store with her mom. She sees a big chocolate cake. She wants it very much. She asks her mom to buy it for her. Her mom says no. She says Sara has enough chocolate at home. She says Sara needs to eat other things too.
+
+Sara is very angry. She cries and screams. She throws a tantrum. She hopes her mom will change her mind. She hopes she will get the chocolate cake.
+
+But her mom does not change her mind. She pays for the other things and leaves the store. She does not buy the chocolate cake. She tells Sara to stop crying. She says Sara is being very naughty.
+
+Sara is very sad. She does not get the chocolate cake. She does not get any chocolate at all. She learns a lesson. She learns that being spoiled does not make her happy. She learns that she needs to be nice and share. She learns that chocolate is not everything.
+Lily and Ben love to watch shows at the theater. They like to see the people sing and dance and wear funny clothes. Sometimes they clap and laugh with the other people.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben go to the theater with their mom and dad. They have tickets for a show about animals. Lily and Ben are very excited. They want to see the lions and the monkeys and the birds.
+
+They go inside the theater and find their seats. They see a big stage with a curtain. They hear music and voices. They wait for the show to start.
+
+Suddenly, a man comes on the stage. He has a microphone and a hat. He says, "Hello, everyone! Welcome to the show! Are you ready to have some fun?"
+
+The people say, "Yes!"
+
+The man says, "Great! But before we begin, I have a special surprise for you. I need a volunteer from the audience to join me on the stage. Who wants to be part of the show?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They both want to go on the stage. They raise their hands and wave.
+
+The man looks around and smiles. He points at Lily and says, "You! The little girl with the pink dress! Come on up!"
+
+Lily feels happy and nervous. She gets up from her seat and walks to the stage. The people clap and cheer for her.
+
+Ben feels sad and jealous. He wanted to go on the stage too. He thinks, "That's not fair. Lily is so lucky. She doesn't belong on the stage. I do."
+
+He sits in his seat and pouts. He doesn't want to watch the show anymore.
+
+Lily goes on the stage and meets the man. He says, "Hello, what's your name?"
+
+Lily says, "Lily."
+
+The man says, "Lily, you are very brave and lucky. You are going to help me with a magic trick. Do you like magic?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, I do."
+
+The man says, "Wonderful. Then follow me and I'll show you what to do."
+
+He takes Lily to a big box with a door. He says, "Lily, this is a magic box. I'm going to put you inside and close the door. Then I'm going to say some magic words and open the door again. And you know what? You will disappear!"
+
+Lily says, "Wow, really?"
+
+The man says, "Yes, really. But don't worry, it's only for a moment. You will come back soon. Are you ready?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, I'm ready."
+
+The man says, "OK, then. Get inside the box and close your eyes. And remember, don't make a sound."
+
+Lily gets inside the box and closes her eyes. She hears the man close the door and lock it. She hears him say, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, watch closely as I make this lovely girl vanish into thin air. Abra-cadabra, ala-kazam, Lily, Lily, go away!"
+
+She hears him open the door and say, "And now, let's see if she's gone. Ta-da!"
+
+She hears the people gasp and scream. She wonders what's happening. She thinks, "Did I really disappear? Where am I? When will I come back?"
+
+She waits for the man to say the magic words again and bring her back. She hopes he doesn't forget. She hopes he doesn't leave her in the box. She hopes she belongs to the show.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tube. The tube is red and yellow. It is a slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Anna says. She runs to the tube. She climbs up the ladder. She sits at the top.
+
+"Come on, Ben!" Anna shouts. "It is fun!"
+
+Ben is scared. He does not like the tube. It is too high. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, Anna. I don't want to go on the slide. It is scary!" Ben says. He stays on the ground.
+
+Anna is jolly. She does not mind. She smiles at Ben.
+
+"OK, Ben. You can watch me. I will go on the slide. Whee!" Anna says. She slides down the tube. She laughs. She lands on the grass.
+
+"Wow, Anna. You are brave!" Ben says. He claps his hands.
+

+
+Anna and Ben hold hands. They climb up the ladder. They sit at the top.

+
+"Ready, Anna." Ben says.
+
+They slide down the tube. They laugh. They land on the grass.
+
+They are happy. They are friends. They like the slide.
+Tommy and his mom went to the park. Tommy saw a furry dog with a red collar. He liked the dog and wanted to pet it. He ran to the dog and said, "Hi, doggy! Can I play with you?"
+
+The dog barked and wagged its tail. It was happy to see Tommy. The dog's owner, a nice lady, smiled and said, "Hello, little boy. This is Spot. He is very friendly. You can pet him if you want."
+
+Tommy reached out his hand and touched the dog's soft fur. The dog licked his face and made him giggle. Tommy and Spot became friends. They played fetch with a ball and ran around the grass. Tommy's mom watched them and smiled too.
+
+After a while, the nice lady said, "It's time to go, Spot. We have to go home. Say goodbye to your new friend." She put a leash on the dog and started to walk away.
+
+Tommy felt sad. He wanted to play with Spot more. He said, "Bye, Spot. I like you. Can you come back tomorrow?"
+
+The nice lady said, "Maybe we can. You are very sweet and polite. You are welcome to play with Spot anytime. He likes you too. Bye, Tommy."
+
+Tommy waved goodbye and hugged his mom. He said, "Mom, Spot is a good dog. He is fun and kind. I want to be like him."

+Lila and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to wave at the boats and the birds. They also liked to find pebbles and make patterns in the sand. Lila found a very pretty pebble. It was shiny and smooth and had many colors. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, I found a pretty pebble!"
+
+Ben liked the pebble too. He wanted to have it for himself. He said, "Give me the pebble, Lila. It is mine now." He tried to grab it from Lila's hand. Lila did not want to give it to him. She said, "No, Ben. It is my pebble. I found it first." She held it tight and ran away from Ben.
+
+Ben was angry. He chased Lila and shouted, "Give me the pebble, Lila. Give me the pebble!" Lila was scared. She ran faster and faster. She did not see the big wave coming. The wave was very big and very loud. It splashed over Lila and Ben and made them wet and cold. The pebble slipped from Lila's hand and fell into the water. Lila and Ben could not see it anymore.
+
+Lila and Ben were sad. They lost the pretty pebble. They also lost their fun. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I'm sorry, Ben." They hugged and made up. They decided to play together and share their things. They found another pebble and waved at the boats and the birds. They were happy again.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to rub it, but it did not go away. He felt a big sneeze coming. He opened his mouth and said, "Achoo!"
+
+Lily heard Ben's sneeze and looked at him. She saw that his nose was red and wet. She asked, "Are you sick, Ben?"
+
+Ben shook his head and said, "No, I'm not sick. I just sneezed. Maybe there is some dust in the air."
+
+Mom heard them and came over. She checked Ben's forehead and said, "You don't have a fever, but you should blow your nose. Here, use this tissue."
+
+Ben took the tissue and blew his nose. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, mom. Can I play some more?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can play some more. But don't forget to drink some water and wash your hands later. And if you sneeze again, cover your mouth and nose with your elbow, okay?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will do that."
+
+Lily said, "Me too, mom. I don't want to sneeze."
+
+Mom said, "That's good, kids. You are very smart and careful. Now, go and have fun. But don't be too restless. You need to rest too."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "Okay, mom. We love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, kids. You are my spirit."
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw his red hat behind a big tree. She ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+Ben came out from behind the tree and smiled. He had a charming grin that made Lily laugh. He said, "You are very good at finding, Lily. But I have a surprise for you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny coin. He said, "This is for you, Lily. You can buy a candy or a toy with it."
+
+Lily was very happy and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and generous. But why did you give me this coin?"
+
+Ben said, "Because you are my best friend, Lily. And because I surrender. You win the game of hide and seek. You are the best seeker ever."
+
+Lily and Ben held hands and walked to the candy store. They shared a candy and a toy. They were very happy and had a lot of fun. They were the best friends ever.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. Lily has a drum. Tom has a car. They make a lot of noise.
+
+"Bang, bang, bang!" Lily hits the drum. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" Tom zooms the car.
+
+Mom comes in. She is not happy. She says, "It is time to bathe. You are too loud. Put away your toys."
+
+Lily and Tom do not want to bathe. They want to play more. They say, "No, no, no!"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, yes, yes! You are dirty and smelly. You need to bathe. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily and Tom follow Mom to the bathroom. They see the tub. It is full of bubbles. They see the duck. It is yellow and squeaky. They see the soap. It is pink and smells good.
+
+Lily and Tom change their minds. They think, "Maybe bathing is fun." They jump into the tub. They splash the water. They wash their hair. They play with the duck. They blow the bubbles.
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "You are silly. But you are also clean and sweet. I love you."
+
+Lily and Tom hug Mom. They say, "We love you too. And we love to bathe."
+Tim and Jen were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big mop in the corner. They wanted to use it for fun.
+
+They took the mop and swung it around. They made a lot of noise and mess. They spilled water and soap on the floor. They laughed and giggled.
+
+Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? You made the floor wet and smelly. You need to clean it up right now!"
+
+Tim and Jen felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom angry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We will clean it up."
+
+They took the mop and tried to wipe the floor. But it was hard. The mop was heavy and wet. They could not squeeze it well. They made more bubbles and splashes.
+
+They did not give up. They worked together. They asked Mom for help. She showed them how to use the mop. She said, "You need to twist it and wring it. Then you can mop the floor gently. Do not swing it or spill it."
+
+Tim and Jen followed Mom's instructions. They twisted and wrung the mop. They mopped the floor gently. They did not swing or spill it. They cleaned up the mess.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "You did a good job. You succeeded in cleaning the floor. I am proud of you. But next time, please do not play with the mop. It is not a toy. It is for cleaning only."
+
+Tim and Jen nodded and said, "We understand, Mom. We are sorry. We will not play with the mop again. We love you, Mom."
+
+They gave Mom a kiss and went to play with their toys. They were happy and proud. They learned a new word and a new skill. They succeeded.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big shape in the sky. It was a plane. They wanted to see it better.
+
+"Let's step closer to the plane!" Ben said.
+
+"But it is too distant. We cannot reach it." Lily said.
+
+They stepped and stepped, but the plane did not get bigger. It got smaller and smaller. They were sad.
+
+A lady saw them and smiled. She came to them and said, "Hello, children. Do you like the plane?"
+
+"Yes, we do. But it is too distant. We cannot see it well." Ben said.
+
+The lady said, "The plane is far away because it is flying high. If you want to see it better, you can use these." She gave them a pair of binoculars.
+
+"Wow, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. They looked through the binoculars and saw the plane clearly. They saw the windows, the wings, and the tail. They were happy.
+
+The lady said, "You're welcome. Sometimes, things that are distant can be seen better with the help of others. That is a good lesson to remember."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the lady again and gave her a hug. They learned that sharing and kindness can make them see things better.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want the same sweater. It is blue and soft and has a bear on it.
+
+Lily says, "It is mine! I saw it first!" Ben says, "No, it is mine! I like it more!" They pull and tug on the sweater. They yell at each other. They are very loud and angry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the sweater. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you! Why are you yelling and fighting? You have many other sweaters and clothes. You can share and take turns. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and the sweater."
+
+Lily and Ben look at Mom. They look at the sweater. It is stretched and torn from their pulling. They feel sorry and sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong. We don't want to fight. We want to share and be kind."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That is good. I am glad you learned your lesson. Fighting is not the way to solve problems. Sharing and talking are better. Now, let's fix the sweater and put it away. Then you can choose another one to wear. It is a clear and sunny day. You can go outside and play."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They help Mom fix the sweater and put it in the closet. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They pick another sweater to wear. They go outside and play. They are happy and friendly. They don't yell or fight anymore. They have learned their moral value.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Me first!" Tom says. He climbs up the ladder and slides down. He laughs and says, "That was fun!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily says. She follows Tom and slides down. She smiles and says, "That was fun too!"
+
+They take turns sliding and joking. They pretend to be animals and make funny noises. They have a lot of fun.
+
+After a while, their moms call them. "Time for lunch!" they say. They have a picnic on the grass. They have sandwiches, fruit, and salad.
+
+Tom and Lily sit next to each other. They eat their sandwiches and fruit. They like them. Then they look at the salad. They do not like it. It is green and leafy.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom says. He makes a face and pushes his salad away.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily says. She copies Tom and pushes her salad away too.
+
+Their moms see them and say, "You have to eat your salad. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy."
+
+Tom and Lily do not want to eat their salad. They have an idea. They whisper to each other and giggle.
+
+"OK, we will eat our salad," Tom says. He picks up a piece of lettuce and puts it on his head. He says, "Look, I am a rabbit!"
+
+Lily laughs and does the same. She says, "Look, I am a rabbit too!"
+
+They hop around and pretend to eat their salad. They think they are very funny.
+
+Their moms look at them and shake their heads. They do not think they are funny. They think they are silly.
+
+"Tom, Lily, stop joking and eat your salad properly," they say. They are not angry, but they are serious.
+
+Tom and Lily stop joking and look at their moms. They see that their moms are not happy. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Tom says. He takes the lettuce off his head and puts it in his mouth. He chews and swallows. He does not like it, but he does not make a face.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily says. She does the same. She does not like it either, but she does not make a face.
+
+They finish their salad and drink some water. They say, "Thank you, mom."
+
+Their moms smile and hug them. They say, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. You are good kids. We love you."
+
+Tom and Lily hug their moms back. They say, "We love you too, mom."
+
+They are happy. They have tight hugs and warm hearts. They are friends and family. They have a good day.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big rock with many colors on it. Anna likes the rock. She wants to take it home.
+
+"Look, Ben, a colorful rock! It is so pretty. Can I have it?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna, you cannot have it. It is too heavy. And it is not a toy. It is a mineral. Minerals are hard and shiny. They come from the ground. We should leave it here."
+
+Anna does not listen. She tries to pick up the rock. But it is too heavy for her. She cannot lift it. She pulls and pulls. She does not resist. She wants the rock.
+
+"Anna, stop! You will hurt yourself. And you will make the rock dirty. It is not yours. It belongs to the park. Let it go!" Ben says.
+
+Anna feels sad. She lets go of the rock. She looks at Ben. He is right. The rock is not hers. It is not a toy. It is a mineral. She says sorry to Ben.
+
+"It is okay, Anna. I know you like the rock. But we can look at it. We can touch it. We can learn about it. But we cannot take it home. Come on, let's go play with the swings. They are fun too!" Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. She nods. She follows Ben. They go to the swings. They have fun. They forget about the rock. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with cars and bikes. They liked to go fast and make loud noises. They had a big race every week. They wanted to see who had more speed.
+
+One day, they had a very close race. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue bike. They zoomed and zoomed along the path. They passed trees and flowers and birds. They cheered and shouted and laughed.
+
+"Come on, Ben, you can do it!" said Lily.
+
+"Come on, Lily, you can do it!" said Ben.
+
+They reached the end of the path at the same time. They both crossed the line together. They looked at each other and smiled. They had a tie. They both had the same speed.
+
+"Wow, that was a fierce race!" said Ben.
+
+"Yes, it was! You are a fierce racer!" said Lily.
+
+They hugged and high-fived. They were happy and proud. They decided to celebrate. They went to the park and had ice cream and cake. They shared their treats and stories. They had a lot of fun. They were best friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Tom had a toy sword and Lily had a crown.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a powerful sword!" Tom said. "I can fight any dragon or giant."
+
+"Wow, Tom, your sword is very shiny and big," Lily said. "But where is your shield?"
+
+Tom looked around. He had left his shield in the house. He ran to get it, but he did not see the cat sleeping on the path. He tripped over the cat and fell down. His sword flew out of his hand and landed on the grass.
+
+"Meow!" the cat said, angry. It scratched Tom's leg and ran away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He had a red mark on his leg. It hurt a lot.
+
+Lily ran to help him. She saw his sword on the grass. She picked it up and set it next to him.
+
+"Here, Tom, here is your sword," she said. "Don't cry, it's okay. I will be your doctor and make your leg better."
+
+She took a band-aid from her pocket and put it on his leg. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, you are very kind," Tom said. He smiled and hugged her back.
+
+They decided to stop playing knights and princesses and play doctors and nurses instead. They had fun and forgot about the cat and the scratch.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they see a big blue van in the street. It has a picture of a dog on the side.
+
+"Wow, look at that van!" Tim says. "It is so blue and big!"
+
+"Maybe it has a dog inside," Sam says. "Let's go and see!"
+
+They run to the van and look inside. They see a lot of boxes and bags. They do not see a dog.
+
+"Where is the dog?" Tim asks. "Maybe it is hiding."
+
+"Maybe it is in one of the boxes," Sam says. "Let's open them and find out!"
+
+They start to unzip the boxes and bags. They make a big mess. They find toys and books and clothes. They do not find a dog.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice says. It is the owner of the van. He is not happy. He sees Tim and Sam and the mess they made.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Tim says. "We were looking for the dog."
+
+"What dog?" the owner says. "There is no dog in my van. That is just a sticker. Now get out of here and clean up this mess!"
+
+Tim and Sam are scared. They zip up the boxes and bags. They run away from the van. They do not play with cars and trucks anymore. They play with balls and bikes instead.
+Lily and Tom went to visit their grandma with their mom and dad. They took a big car and put their luggage in the back. Their luggage had clothes, toys and books. They were happy to see their grandma, who gave them hugs and cookies.
+
+One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw a big truck hit their car. Their car was smashed and their luggage was everywhere. They were scared and sad. Their mom and dad ran outside to see what happened. They told Lily and Tom to stay inside with their grandma.
+
+Lily and Tom waited for a long time. They played with their toys and read their books, but they missed their mom and dad. Their grandma tried to make them feel better, but she looked worried. She talked on the phone and said some words they did not understand.
+
+After a while, a man came to the door. He wore a blue suit and a badge. He talked to their grandma and gave her a paper. Their grandma started to cry. She hugged Lily and Tom and told them something very bad. She said their mom and dad were dead. They would not come back. Lily and Tom did not know what dead meant, but they knew it was something very sad. They cried too.
+
+The man helped them pack their luggage. He said he would take them to a new home, where they would be safe and loved. He said their mom and dad would always be in their hearts. Lily and Tom did not want to leave their grandma, but they had no choice. They said goodbye and got in the man's car. They looked at their luggage and wondered what would happen next. They wished their mom and dad would return.
+Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big thing on the grass. It is light and round and has many colors. They want to play with it.
+
+"Look, a ball!" Tim says. He runs to the thing and tries to pick it up. But it is too big for him. He falls down and hurts his knee.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cries. Mia runs to him and hugs him.
+
+"Are you okay, Tim?" Mia asks. She sees blood on his knee. She feels sad for him.
+
+"I'm okay, Mia. But the ball is too big. We can't play with it," Tim says. He points to the thing.
+
+Mia looks at the thing. She sees a string on it. She has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can remove the string. Then the ball will fly away," Mia says. She pulls the string with her hands. The thing moves a little.
+
+"Help me, Tim. Pull the string with me," Mia says. Tim gets up and holds the string with Mia. They pull hard together.
+
+The thing lifts off the grass. It goes up and up in the sky. It looks like a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim says. He smiles and claps his hands.
+
+"We did it, Mia. We made the ball fly," Tim says. He hugs Mia.
+
+"We did it, Tim. We are so smart," Mia says. She hugs Tim back.
+
+They watch the thing fly away. They feel happy and proud. They go back to playing in the park.
+Ben and Mia are playing with their toy planes in the garden. They like to make them fly and zoom in the air. Ben has a red plane with a big wing. Mia has a blue plane with a small wing.
+
+"Look at my plane, it can fly so high and fast!" Ben says. He throws his plane and watches it soar in the sky.
+
+"My plane can fly too, and it can do tricks!" Mia says. She tosses her plane and makes it spin and loop.
+
+They play for a while, but then Ben wants to try Mia's plane. He thinks it looks more fun.
+
+"Can I play with your plane, Mia?" he asks.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia says. She is stubborn and does not like to share.
+
+"Please, just for a little bit!" Ben begs.
+
+"No, no, no!" Mia yells. She holds her plane tight and runs away.
+
+Ben is angry and sad. He chases Mia and tries to grab her plane. They run and yell and fight.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" their mom says. She hears the noise and comes out of the house. She sees them fighting over the plane.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asks.
+
+They both try to tell her their side of the story, but she does not listen.
+
+"That's enough, you two. You need to learn to share and play nicely. No more planes for today. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." she says.
+
+She takes the planes and puts them away. Ben and Mia go to their rooms, still mad at each other. They wish they had not fought over the plane. They miss playing with their planes and with each other.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they saw a strange animal in the yard. It had a long nose, big ears, and a furry tail. It was an anteater.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "What is it doing?"
+
+"It is looking for ants to eat," Lily said. She was very intelligent and knew many things. "Ants are its favorite food."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Tom asked. He was curious and brave.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it will bite us."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran towards the anteater and tried to poke it with a stick. The anteater did not like that. It turned around and snorted at Tom. Then it ran away to the west, where the sun was setting.
+
+"Tom, you scared it away!" Lily said. "That was not nice. You should not poke animals with sticks. They have feelings too."
+
+"I'm sorry," Tom said. He felt bad. He did not mean to hurt the anteater. He just wanted to see it better.
+
+"Next time, be more gentle and respectful," Lily said. "Maybe it will come back and let us watch it. Animals are amazing and we can learn from them."
+
+Tom nodded. He hugged Lily and said, "You are right. You are very intelligent and kind. I love you, sis."
+
+"I love you too, bro," Lily said. They smiled and went inside to have dinner. They hoped to see the anteater again someday.
+Sara was eager to go to the park with her mom and dad. She loved to swing and slide and play with her ball. She put on her shoes and coat and ran to the door. But mom said, "Wait, Sara. We need to pack some snacks and drinks for the park. Can you help me?"
+
+Sara nodded and followed mom to the kitchen. Mom opened the fridge and took out some cheese and fruit and juice. She put them in a bag and gave it to Sara. "Can you hold this for me, please?" she asked. Sara smiled and hugged the bag.
+
+Mom went back to the fridge to get some water bottles. But she forgot to close the fridge door. Sara did not notice. She was too eager to go to the park. She ran to the door again and called, "Mom, dad, let's go!"
+
+Mom and dad heard Sara and came to the door. They saw the bag of snacks and drinks in her hands. They smiled and praised her for being a good helper. They did not see the open fridge door. They were too eager to go to the park. They took Sara's hand and left.
+
+They had a lot of fun at the park. They swung and slid and played with the ball. They ate the cheese and fruit and drank the juice. They laughed and hugged and enjoyed the sun. They did not think about the fridge.
+
+But when they came back home, they saw something wrong. The fridge door was still open. The fridge was warm and empty. The cheese and fruit and juice were gone. And on the floor, there were paw prints and crumbs and stains. A raccoon had sneaked into the house and eaten everything in the fridge. Mom and dad were shocked and angry. Sara was sad and sorry. She had left the fridge open. She had made a big mistake. She learned a lesson. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I won't do it again. Next time, I will close the fridge."
+Tim and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw many things in the park, like birds, flowers and insects.
+
+"Look, Tim, a big insect!" Sam said, pointing to a grasshopper on the grass. "It is green and has long legs."
+
+"Wow, it is cool!" Tim said. "Can I catch it?"
+
+"OK, but be careful. It can hop away," Sam said.
+
+Tim ran to the grasshopper and tried to grab it with his hand. But the grasshopper was too fast and hopped over Tim's head. Tim fell on the ground and hurt his knee.
+
+"Ouch!" Tim cried. "It got away!"
+
+Sam ran to Tim and helped him get up. He saw a red spot on Tim's knee.
+
+"Are you OK, Tim?" Sam asked. "Your knee is bleeding."
+
+"I'm OK, Sam. It is just a little cut," Tim said. He looked around and saw the grasshopper on a leaf. He had an idea.
+
+"I know how to catch it!" Tim said. "I will chew it!"
+
+"What? Chew it?" Sam asked. "That is gross! And foolish!"
+
+But Tim did not listen to Sam. He ran to the leaf and opened his mouth. He tried to bite the grasshopper. But the grasshopper was too smart and hopped into Tim's mouth.
+
+"Yuck!" Tim shouted. He spit out the grasshopper and made a face. "It tastes bad!"
+
+Sam laughed and shook his head. He picked up the grasshopper and put it back on the grass.
+
+"Let it go, Tim. It is not food. It is a living thing," Sam said. "And you are not a frog. You are a boy."
+
+Tim nodded and rubbed his tongue. He learned his lesson.
+
+"Sorry, grasshopper. And sorry, Sam. You are right. I was foolish," Tim said. "Let's play something else."
+
+"OK, Tim. How about we play on the swings?" Sam said.
+
+"OK, Sam. That sounds fun," Tim said.
+
+They walked to the swings and played happily. They forgot about the grasshopper and the insect. They were friends.
+Lily was playing with her doll in the living room. She liked to make her doll talk and sing and dance. She pretended that her doll was her best friend. She did not see the cord on the floor. The cord was from the lamp that Mommy had plugged in. The cord was long and black and shiny.
+
+Rex was a big dog. He lived in the same house as Lily. He liked to run and jump and bark. He did not like to play with dolls. He thought they were boring and silly. He saw the cord on the floor. The cord looked like a snake to him. He wanted to catch the snake and bite it.
+
+Rex ran towards the cord and opened his mouth. He was about to bite the cord when Lily saw him. She screamed, "No, Rex, no! That is not a snake! That is a cord! It is bad to bite cords! You will get hurt!"
+
+Rex stopped and looked at Lily. He did not understand what she was saying. He was ignorant. He thought she was trying to take his snake away. He growled and showed his teeth. He was angry and stubborn.
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She did not want Rex to bite the cord or to be mad at her. She loved Rex. She wanted him to be happy and safe. She ran to Mommy and told her what happened. Mommy came to the living room and saw Rex and the cord. She was worried and stern. She said, "Rex, drop the cord! That is not a toy! That is dangerous! You are a bad dog!"
+
+Rex dropped the cord and hung his head. He felt ashamed and sorry. He did not mean to be bad. He did not know that the cord was dangerous. He just wanted to have fun. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's hand. He wanted to say sorry and to be friends.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Rex. She said, "It's okay, Rex. I forgive you. You are a good dog. You just made a mistake. Next time, listen to me. I know what is good and bad for you. I love you, Rex."
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged Lily and Rex. She said, "I love you both. You are a good girl and a good dog. But please be careful. Do not play with cords or anything that can hurt you. And do not bite or growl at each other. Be nice and gentle. Now, let's go and have a snack."
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and make noise. One day, they found a big trumpet in the garage. It was shiny and loud. They wanted to try it.
+
+"Can I blow it first?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She grabbed the trumpet and ran away.
+
+Tom was angry. He ran after her and tried to get the trumpet back. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The trumpet broke in half. They both fell down and hurt themselves.
+
+They cried and cried. Mom and Dad came and saw what happened. They were not happy. They took the trumpet and threw it in the trash. They took Tom and Lily to their rooms. They said they had to stay there until they heal and say sorry.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and lonely. They had no toys and no friends. They were sleepy, but they could not sleep. They wished they had shared the trumpet and played nicely. But it was too late. The trumpet was gone and so was their fun.
+Tim and Mia were playing with their toy soldiers. They liked to pretend they were in a war and had to fight the bad guys. They made loud noises and moved their soldiers around the grass.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You are dead!" Tim shouted, pointing his soldier at Mia's.
+
+"No, I am not! You missed!" Mia said, hiding her soldier behind a rock.
+
+"Yes, you are! I am the best soldier ever!" Tim said, running towards Mia.
+
+Mia saw Tim coming and threw her soldier at him. It hit him on the head and he fell down. Mia laughed and said, "Ha! Now you are dead!"
+
+Tim rubbed his head and felt a bump. He started to cry. Mia felt sorry for him and said, "I am sorry, Tim. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?"
+
+Tim sniffed and said, "No, I am not okay. You are mean. You ruined our war."
+
+Mia hugged him and said, "I am not mean. I was just playing. I like our war. You are a brilliant soldier. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Tim smiled and said, "Okay, we can be friends again. But next time, be careful with your soldier. It hurts."
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Okay, I will be careful. And you be careful too. We don't want to get hurt."
+
+They picked up their soldiers and continued to play. They managed to have fun and forget their fight. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big jar of cookies on the kitchen table. They wanted to eat some, but the jar was too high for them to reach.
+
+"Let's get a chair and climb up," Ben said. He dragged a chair from the living room and put it next to the table. Lily climbed on the chair and stretched her hand to the jar. She grabbed the lid and tried to open it, but it was too tight.
+
+"I can't open it," Lily said. "Help me, Ben."
+
+Ben climbed on the chair too and pushed the lid with his hand. They both struggled to open the jar, but it did not move. They pushed harder and harder, until the chair wobbled and tipped over. Lily and Ben fell to the floor with a loud thud. The jar also fell and broke into pieces. Cookies and glass scattered everywhere.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow," Lily and Ben cried. They had cuts and bruises from the glass and the floor. They looked at the cookies, but they did not want to eat them anymore. They were dry and dusty and had glass in them.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came running to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the twins crying. She was very angry and sad.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom shouted. "You could have hurt yourselves badly. You are not supposed to touch the cookie jar. It was for Grandma's birthday. Now we have no cookies and no jar. Go to your room and stay there. No cookies for you today or tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not tried to get the cookies. They went to their room and lay on their beds. They had no cookies, no fun, and no Grandma. They had a very bad day.
+Lily and Ben wanted to decorate the big tree in the yard. They had many shiny things to hang on the branches. But they needed a star for the top. They looked around and saw a sheep in the field.
+
+"Let's ask the sheep if we can use his wool for a star," Lily said.
+
+"OK," Ben said. They ran to the fence and called the sheep.
+
+"Hello, sheep. Can we have some of your wool, please? We want to make a star for our tree," Lily said.
+
+The sheep looked at them and said, "Baa."
+
+"Please, sheep. It will be very pretty. And you have so much wool," Ben said.
+
+The sheep said, "Baa."
+
+The sheep was stubborn. He did not want to share his wool. He turned his back and walked away.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They did not have a star for their tree.
+
+Then they saw a bird flying in the sky. The bird had a shiny feather.
+
+"Look, a feather! Maybe we can use that for a star," Lily said.
+
+"Let's try," Ben said. They waved their arms and shouted to the bird.
+
+"Hello, bird. Can we have your feather, please? We want to make a star for our tree," Lily said.
+
+The bird looked at them and said, "Tweet."
+
+"Please, bird. It will be very pretty. And you have so many feathers," Ben said.
+
+The bird said, "Tweet."
+
+The bird was kind. He liked to share his feather. He flew down and dropped his feather in their hands.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They had a feather for their star.
+
+They thanked the bird and ran to the tree. They tied the feather to a stick and put it on the top.
+
+The tree looked beautiful. Lily and Ben smiled and hugged.
+
+The sheep saw the tree and said, "Baa."
+
+The bird saw the tree and said, "Tweet."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But they did not like the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were small and mean. They bit Ben and Lily and made them itch.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "The mosquitoes are biting me!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "They are biting me too!"
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. She saw their red spots and felt sorry for them.
+
+"Mom, mom, mom!" Ben and Lily said. "The mosquitoes are biting us! They hurt!"
+
+Mom hugged them and gave them some cream. The cream made the spots feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves," Mom said. "The mosquitoes are very annoying. They like to bite people when it is warm and wet."
+
+"Can we make them go away?" Ben asked.
+
+"Well, we can try some things," Mom said. "We can wear long sleeves and pants. We can use some spray that smells bad to the mosquitoes. We can light some candles that make smoke. And we can stay away from the pond, where the mosquitoes live."
+
+"Which one do you recommend, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She wanted Ben and Lily to have fun, but she also wanted them to be safe.
+
+"I recommend that we do all of them," Mom said. "That way, we can be sure that the mosquitoes will leave us alone."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They did not want to be bitten anymore. They were fearful of the mosquitoes. They put on some long clothes, some spray, and some candles. They followed Mom to the other side of the garden, where there were no mosquitoes.
+
+They played and played and played. They forgot about the mosquitoes. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were happy to see their new home. They had a big car with many boxes. Mom and Dad said they had to unpack the boxes and put their things in their rooms.
+
+"Can we help?" Lily asked. She was six and liked to be helpful.
+
+"Yes, you can," Mom said. "But be careful with the boxes. Some are heavy and some are fragile."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They each took a small box and carried it to their rooms. Lily's box had her books and toys. Ben's box had his cars and trains.
+
+They opened their boxes and started to unpack. Lily found a shiny penny in her box. She smiled and put it in her piggy bank. She liked to save pennies for ice cream.
+
+Ben found a broken car in his box. He frowned and threw it in the trash. He did not like broken things.
+
+They finished unpacking and went to show Mom and Dad their rooms. Mom and Dad were proud of them.
+
+"You did a great job," Dad said. "You are very helpful and smart."
+
+"Thank you," Lily and Ben said. They hugged Mom and Dad.
+
+They were happy in their new home.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a tea set and Ben has a pirate ship. They pretend to have a tea party and a treasure hunt.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Mr. Pirate?" Sara asks, holding a tiny cup.
+
+"Yes, please, Miss Princess," Ben says, putting on a funny voice. He takes the cup and pretends to sip. "Mmm, this is very good tea."
+
+Sara smiles and pours more tea from the pot. She likes to play with Ben. He is her best friend.
+
+Suddenly, Ben sees something shiny under the sofa. He puts down the cup and crawls to the sofa. He pulls out a small wooden chest. It has a lock and a key.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a treasure chest!" Ben says, excited. He shows the chest to Sara.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's amazing!" Sara says, curious. She wonders what is inside the chest. "Can you open it?"
+
+Ben nods and puts the key in the lock. He turns the key and opens the chest. Inside, there are some coins, a necklace, a ring and a bracelet. They are all clean and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at all these jewels!" Sara says, amazed. She picks up the necklace and puts it around her neck. "I feel like a real princess!"
+
+Ben picks up the ring and puts it on his finger. "And I feel like a real pirate!" he says, proud. He holds up the ring and pretends to talk to a parrot. "Arr, matey, we found the treasure!"
+
+Sara and Ben laugh and play with the jewels. They are very happy. They don't know that the chest belongs to their mom. She got it from her grandma. She keeps it under the sofa for safekeeping. She will be very surprised when she sees Sara and Ben with the jewels. But she will also be very proud of their imagination.
+Sara likes to draw with pastels. She has many colors of pastels. She can make pink flowers, blue sky, green grass, and yellow sun. She likes to draw on big paper.
+
+One day, Sara wants to draw with her friend Lily. She asks her mom, "Can Lily come to play?" Her mom says, "Yes, Sara, Lily can come to play. I will call her mom and ask." Sara is happy. She gets her pastels and her paper ready.
+
+Soon, Lily comes to Sara's house. They hug and say, "Hi!" They go to Sara's room. Sara shows Lily her pastels and her paper. Lily says, "Wow, Sara, you have so many pastels. They are very pretty. Can I draw with you?" Sara says, "Yes, Lily, you can draw with me. We can share the pastels and the paper."
+
+They start to draw together. Sara draws a pink flower. Lily draws a blue bird. They use different colors of pastels. They make a beautiful picture. They are having fun.
+
+But then, Sara sees that Lily has a pastel that she likes very much. It is a purple pastel. Sara likes purple. She wants to use the purple pastel. She says to Lily, "Lily, can I have the purple pastel? I want to draw a purple butterfly." Lily says, "No, Sara, I am using the purple pastel. I want to draw a purple house." Sara says, "But I like purple. I want the purple pastel." Lily says, "But I like purple too. I want the purple pastel."
+
+They start to argue. They pull the purple pastel. They are not happy. They are not having fun.
+
+Their moms hear them. They come to Sara's room. They see Sara and Lily fighting over the purple pastel. They say, "Sara, Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are friends. You should share and be nice to each other."
+
+Sara and Lily look at their moms. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Lily. We were not nice. We should share and be nice." They hug and say, "We are friends. We like to draw together."
+
+Their moms smile and say, "That's good, Sara and Lily. We are glad you are friends. You can draw together. You can use all the pastels. You can make more pictures. But remember, sharing is caring. And caring is fun."
+
+Sara and Lily nod and say, "Yes, mom. We remember. Sharing is caring. And caring is fun." They go back to drawing. They use the purple pastel and the other pastels. They make more beautiful pictures. They are happy. They are having fun.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to run, slide, swing and climb. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big maze made of wood. It has many walls and paths and doors. Anna and Ben want to try it.
+
+They go inside the maze and start to look for the way out. They turn left and right and go through the doors. They see many things in the maze. They see flowers, birds, bugs and toys. They also see some orange balloons. The balloons are big and round and shiny. They have strings that hang from them.
+
+"Look, Ben, balloons!" Anna says. She likes balloons. She runs to get one. She pulls the string and the balloon comes down. She holds the balloon and smiles.
+
+"Can I have one too?" Ben asks. He likes balloons too. He runs to get another one. He pulls the string and the balloon comes down. He holds the balloon and smiles.
+
+They are happy with their balloons. They forget about the maze. They start to play with their balloons. They bounce them, toss them, and hug them. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a horn. It is the horn of the park keeper. He is telling them that the park is closing. They have to go home.
+
+"Oh no, we have to go!" Anna says. She looks around. She does not know where they are. She does not see the way out. She is scared.
+
+"Me too, I don't know where we are!" Ben says. He looks around. He does not see the way out. He is scared too.
+
+They hold their balloons and each other. They start to cry. They want to go home. They want their mom and dad.
+
+But then, they see something. They see a light. It is a light from a window. It is a window in the wall of the maze. They go to the window and look out. They see the park. They see the slide, the swing, the climb and the exit. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Anna, we found the way out!" Ben says. He points to the exit.
+
+"Yay, we found the way out!" Anna says. She nods to the exit.
+
+They go to the exit and leave the maze. They still have their balloons. They see the park keeper. He is waiting for them. He is not angry. He is smiling.
+
+"Hello, kids, did you have fun in the maze?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, we did, thank you!" Anna and Ben say. They show him their balloons.
+
+"Those are nice balloons, where did you get them?" he asks.
+
+"We found them in the maze, they were hanging from the strings!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Wow, that's lucky, those are special balloons, they are magic!" he says.
+
+"Magic? How are they magic?" Anna and Ben ask.
+
+"They are magic because they can make you happy, and they can help you find the way out of any maze!" he says.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They thank the park keeper and say goodbye. They go to their mom and dad, who are waiting for them. They hug them and tell them about their adventure. They are happy. They still have their balloons. They are magic.
+Mia liked to whistle. She whistled when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She whistled happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She whistled so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet.
+
+One day, Mia found a mouse in her room. The mouse was small and brown, with a long tail and big ears. Mia was not afraid of the mouse. She was eager to make a new friend. She whistled a friendly song to the mouse, hoping it would come closer.
+
+The mouse heard Mia's whistle and was curious. It peeked out from behind a box and saw Mia smiling at it. The mouse decided to be brave and came out of its hiding place. It ran across the floor and climbed on Mia's bed.
+
+"Hello, mouse," Mia said. "Do you like my whistle?"
+
+The mouse nodded and squeaked. It liked Mia's whistle. It was a nice sound.
+
+"Can you whistle, too?" Mia asked.
+
+The mouse shook its head and squeaked. It could not whistle. It only had a small mouth.
+
+"That's okay," Mia said. "You can still be my friend. We can whistle and squeak together."
+
+The mouse smiled and squeaked. It was happy to have a friend. It snuggled next to Mia and listened to her whistle. Mia whistled a soft song and the mouse squeaked along. They whistled and squeaked until they fell asleep.
+Sara and Ben like to play with flies. They catch them in a jar and watch them buzz. They add more and more flies to the jar. They think it is fun.
+
+One day, they find a big fly. It is black and shiny. It has a long tail. Sara says, "Look, Ben, a big fly! Let's add it to the jar!" Ben says, "OK, Sara, but be careful. It looks scary."
+
+They catch the big fly and put it in the jar. The big fly is angry. It does not like the jar. It does not like the other flies. It bites them with its tail. The other flies die. The big fly buzzes louder and louder.
+
+Sara and Ben hear the noise. They run to the jar. They see the big fly and the dead flies. They are sad and scared. They want to let the big fly go. But the big fly is too strong. It breaks the jar. It flies out. It sees Sara and Ben. It bites them with its tail. Sara and Ben die.
+
+The big fly is free. It is happy. It flies away. It looks for more flies to add to its tail. It is not safe.
+Tim and Mia went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They liked to watch them and learn their names.
+
+Then they came to a big cage with tall birds. They had long necks, big eyes, and feathers. Mom said they were ostriches. Tim and Mia had never seen ostriches before. They were curious.
+
+One ostrich came close to the fence. It stared at Tim and Mia with its big eyes. It looked funny. Tim and Mia stared back. They giggled.
+
+"Hello, ostrich!" Tim said. "What are you doing?"
+
+The ostrich did not answer. It blinked and tilted its head.
+
+"Maybe it does not talk," Mia said. "Maybe it is shy."
+
+"Or maybe it is smart," Tim said. "Maybe it knows something we don't."
+
+"Like what?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tim said. "Maybe it knows how to run fast, or hide, or fly."
+
+"Ostriches can't fly," Mom said. "But they can run very fast. They are the fastest birds on land."
+
+"Wow!" Tim and Mia said. "That is cool!"
+
+They smiled at the ostrich. The ostrich smiled back. It seemed to like them.
+
+Tim and Mia decided that ostriches were smart and friendly. They wanted to see more of them. They thanked the ostrich and waved goodbye. They followed Mom and Dad to the next cage. They wondered what other animals they would see. They were having fun at the zoo.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food with pots and pans. But they also made a big mess. There was water and flour and ketchup on the floor.
+
+"Uh-oh," Tom said. "Mom will be home soon. We have to clean up."
+
+He grabbed a mop from the closet and started to wipe the floor. Lily helped him with a towel. They worked hard and fast. They did not want Mom to be angry.
+
+But they did not see the cat. The cat was sleeping on the couch. The cat heard the noise and woke up. The cat was curious. The cat jumped off the couch and walked to the kitchen. The cat saw the mop and the towel. The cat thought they were toys. The cat wanted to play.
+
+The cat ran to the mop and pounced on it. The mop fell over and hit Tom. Tom fell over and hit Lily. Lily fell over and hit the pots and pans. The pots and pans made a loud clang. Tom and Lily and the cat were all on the floor.
+
+"Meow!" the cat said.
+
+"Ow!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They heard the door open. Mom was home.
+
+"Hello, kids," Mom said. "What are you doing?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They looked at the mess. They looked at the cat. They did not know what to say.
+
+Mom looked at them. She saw their faces. She saw the mop and the towel and the pots and pans. She saw the cat. She smiled.
+
+"I see you were trying to help me," Mom said. "That was very kind of you. But next time, please be more careful. And don't forget the cat. He likes to play, too."
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. She was not angry. She was compassionate.
+
+She helped them clean up the rest of the mess. Then they all had a snack. And the cat had some milk. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box under their bed. They open the box and see many shiny things inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a round thing with a hole in the middle. It is red and gold and has strange marks on it.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asks. She picks up a long thing with a pointy end. It is green and silver and has a feather on it.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is magic," Tom says. He rubs the round thing with his hand. He hopes something will happen.
+
+Lily rubs the long thing with her hand too. She wants to see magic. They rub and rub and rub. But nothing happens.
+
+"This is boring," Tom says. He throws the round thing back in the box.
+
+"Maybe we need to say something," Lily says. She remembers a word she heard on TV. She holds the long thing in the air and says, "Abracadabra!"
+
+Suddenly, the room is filled with bright lights and loud noises. Tom and Lily see many things flying out of the box. They see balloons, candy, flowers, and animals. They hear music, laughter, and clapping.
+
+"Wow, it is magic!" Tom says. He grabs a balloon and a candy.
+
+"It is magic!" Lily says. She grabs a flower and an animal.
+
+They are very happy. They play with the things from the box. They have a lot of fun.
+
+After some time, their mom comes to their room. She sees the mess and the magic. She is very surprised.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asks.
+
+"Mom, look! We found a magic box!" Tom says.
+
+"We made magic with these things!" Lily says.
+
+They show their mom the round thing and the long thing. They tell her how they rubbed them and said a word.
+
+Their mom smiles. She is proud of them. She thinks they are very clever and creative.
+
+"That is amazing, my darlings. You are very successful," she says.
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She helps them clean up the room. She lets them keep some of the things from the box. She tells them it is time for bed.
+
+Tom and Lily are very happy. They go to bed with their magic things. They dream of more magic. They love their mom and their magic box.
+Lily liked to write. She wrote on paper, on books, on walls, on anything she could find. She used crayons, pencils, markers, and sometimes even lipstick. She wrote her name, shapes, animals, and funny words. She thought writing was fun and pretty.
+
+But Mommy did not like Lily's writing. She said Lily made a mess and ruined things. She said Lily had to write only on paper and only with crayons. She said Lily had to clean up her writing and say sorry. She was angry and sad.

+One day, Lily found a new place to write. It was the dishwasher. It was tall and shiny and had a big door. Lily opened the door and saw many plates and cups and forks and spoons. She thought they looked boring. She decided to write on them. She took a marker and wrote on every plate and cup and fork and spoon. She wrote her name, shapes, animals, and funny words. She thought they looked fun and pretty.
+
+But Mommy did not see Lily's writing. She closed the door and turned on the dishwasher. She wanted to wash the plates and cups and forks and spoons. She did not know Lily wrote on them. She went to do other things.
+
+Later, Mommy opened the door and saw Lily's writing. She was shocked and angry. She yelled, "Lily, what did you do? You wrote on the dishwasher and the dishes! You made a big mess and ruined them! You have to clean up your writing and say sorry! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Lily heard Mommy's yell and ran to the kitchen. She saw Mommy's face and the dishwasher and the dishes. She felt scared and sad. She said, "Mommy, I'm sorry. I just wanted to write. I thought it was fun and pretty. I didn't mean to make a mess and ruin them. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Mommy sighed and hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, I love you, but you can't write on the dishwasher and the dishes. They are not for writing. They are for eating and drinking and washing. You have to be careful and respectful of things. You have to write only on paper and only with crayons. And you have to clean up your writing and say sorry. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy, I understand. I'm sorry. I love you too. Can I help you clean up?"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, you can help me clean up. Thank you. And maybe later, we can write together on paper and with crayons. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, Mommy. Thank you. I like to write with you."
+Lily loved her kitten, Fluffy. She played with him every day. She gave him milk and toys. She hugged him and kissed him. Fluffy was happy with Lily.
+
+One day, a man came to Lily's house. He had a big bag. He said he wanted to sell Fluffy. He said he would give Lily money for him. Lily did not want money. She wanted Fluffy. She said no to the man.
+
+The man was grumpy. He said Fluffy was his kitten. He said he lost him a long time ago. He said he had a picture of Fluffy. He showed Lily the picture. It was a black kitten with a white spot on his nose. Fluffy was a white kitten with a black spot on his nose. They were not the same.
+
+Lily said the man was lying. She said Fluffy was her kitten. She said she found him in a box on the street. She said she had a collar for him. She showed the man the collar. It had Fluffy's name on it. The man was angry. He tried to grab Fluffy from Lily.
+
+Lily screamed. She held Fluffy tight. She ran to her mom. Her mom came out of the house. She saw the man and the bag. She saw Lily and Fluffy. She asked what was going on. Lily told her mom everything. Her mom was mad. She told the man to go away. She said he was a bad man. She said he could not sell Fluffy. She said Fluffy was Lily's kitten. She said she would call the police if he did not leave.
+
+The man was scared. He dropped the bag. He ran away. Lily and her mom hugged Fluffy. They were glad he was safe. Fluffy purred. He was glad he was with them. He did not want to go with the man. He did not want to be sold. He loved Lily and her mom. They loved him too. They were a happy family.
+Lily was a thoughtful girl. She liked to stare at things and think about them. She stared at the sky and wondered what the clouds were made of. She stared at the flowers and wondered how they grew. She stared at the birds and wondered how they flew.
+
+One day, Lily found a chair in the garden. It was old and broken. The paint was peeling and the wood was cracked. Lily stared at the chair and thought about it. She wondered who made it and who used it. She wondered why it was left in the garden and what it was good for.
+
+Lily had an idea. She ran inside and got some paper and crayons. She came back and started to draw on the chair. She drew a sun and a moon and some stars. She drew a tree and a house and some people. She drew a cat and a dog and some birds. She made the chair look bright and happy.
+
+Lily was proud of her work. She smiled and sat on the chair. She felt like she was sitting on a magic chair. She stared at the sky and the flowers and the birds. She thought about all the things she could do and see. She was a thoughtful girl.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They also had a big bridge that they could put on the floor and make their cars go over it.
+
+One day, they were playing with their cars and bridge when Tim saw a new car that Sam had. It was red and shiny and had a button that made it go fast. Tim wanted to play with it, but Sam said no.
+
+"That is my car. You have your own cars. Go away!" Sam said.
+
+Tim felt angry and sad. He wanted to have the new car too. He thought of a plan. He waited until Sam was not looking and grabbed the new car. He ran to the bridge and put the car on it. He pressed the button and the car zoomed across the bridge.
+
+"Hey, that is my car! Give it back!" Sam shouted. He ran after Tim and tried to catch the car.
+
+But Tim was too fast. He ran to the other side of the bridge and caught the car. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, now it is my car!"
+
+Sam felt angry and sad. He wanted to have his car back. He thought of a plan. He ran to the bridge and pushed it over. The bridge fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+"Hey, that is our bridge! Why did you do that?" Tim shouted. He ran to the bridge and saw that it was broken. He felt angry and sad. He wanted to have the bridge back.
+
+They both looked at each other and realized what they had done. They had broken their bridge and hurt their friendship. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+They decided to say sorry to each other and share their cars. They also decided to fix the bridge together. They used glue and tape and made the bridge whole again.
+
+They learned that it is not good to be greedy and mean. It is better to be kind and generous. They hugged and said, "We are friends again. We will share and care for our things."
+
+They played with their cars and bridge happily. They had a good time.
+Lily and Ben were playing doctor and patient in the garden. Lily was the doctor and Ben was the patient. Lily had a toy stethoscope and a toy syringe. She put the stethoscope on Ben's chest and listened to his heart.
+
+"Your heart is very fast, patient," Lily said. "You need a shot to make it slow down."
+
+Ben did not like shots. He was scared of the syringe. He shook his head and tried to get away.
+
+"No, no, no, doctor," Ben said. "I don't need a shot. I feel fine."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She grabbed Ben's arm and poked him with the syringe. Ben cried out in pain and anger. He pushed Lily away and ran to the house.
+
+Lily followed him, feeling sorry. She wanted to say sorry and give him a hug. But Ben was too mad. He slammed the door in her face and locked it. He did not want to play with Lily anymore.
+
+Lily knocked on the door and called his name. But Ben did not answer. He ignored her. He was very wild. Lily felt sad and lonely. She wished she had not poked him. She wished they were still friends.

+
+"Wow, look at all the balls!" Ben says.
+
+"Can we play with them?" Mia asks.
+

+
+"Hey, you two, what are you doing?" a voice says. They turn and see a man standing near the sack. He looks angry.
+
+"Those are my balls! I use them for my clown show! Give them back to me!" the man says.
+
+Ben and Mia are scared. They spit out the balls and say sorry. They run away from the sack and the man. They find their mom and dad and tell them what happened.
+
+Mom and dad hug them and say it's okay. They say they should not take things that are not theirs. They say they should ask before they play with someone else's things.
+
+Ben and Mia nod and say they understand. They say they will not do it again. They say they are sorry for the man and his balls.
+
+Mom and dad smile and say they are proud of them. They say they can play with their own balls at home. They say they love them very much.
+

+
+Ben is sorry. He did not mean to break the toaster. He cries. He says to Lily. "I am sorry, Lily. I was hungry. I wanted toast. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily is sad. She sees Ben's tears. She loves her brother. She says to him. "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But we have to tell Mom. Maybe she can fix the toaster. Or buy a new one. And we can share toast again."
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the yard. They had many toys, but Tom's favorite was a red car and Lily's favorite was a yellow doll. One day, they decided to trade their toys for fun.
+
+"Can I have your car, Tom?" Lily asked. "It is so brilliant and fast."
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can have my car if I can have your doll. It is so pretty and soft." Tom said. They swapped their toys and played happily for a while.
+
+But soon, Tom missed his car and Lily missed her doll. They realized that they did not like the other's toy as much as their own. They felt sad and wanted their toys back.
+
+"Tom, can we trade back our toys?" Lily said. "I miss my doll. She is my best friend."
+
+"Lily, I feel the same. I miss my car. It is my favorite toy." Tom said. They agreed to trade back their toys and hugged each other.

+Lily and Ben love to play with their dinosaur toys. They have big ones and small ones, green ones and red ones, and some that can roar and some that can whistle. They like to make up stories about their dinosaurs and act them out.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game where their dinosaurs were looking for yummy food. They put some fruits and vegetables on a plate and pretended they were trees and plants. Lily picked up a purple dinosaur that could whistle and said, "This is Violet. She is a herbivore. She likes to eat leaves and berries. She can whistle to call her friends when she finds food."
+
+Ben picked up a brown dinosaur that could roar and said, "This is Rex. He is a carnivore. He likes to eat meat and bones. He can roar to scare away other dinosaurs when he hunts."
+
+They moved their dinosaurs around the plate, making noises and talking for them. Violet whistled happily when she found a grape and bit into it. Rex roared loudly when he saw a carrot and snapped at it. They shared their food with their other dinosaurs and had a feast.
+
+But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom, holding a tray of cookies. She smiled and said, "Who wants a yummy snack?"

+"Look, a dog!" Tom says. "Let's go and pet it."
+

+
+But Tom does not listen. He marches to the dog. He wants to touch its fur. He thinks the dog is cute.

+
+Lily says, "Let's prepare a surprise for the snowman. We can make him a cake with ice and red berries." Tom nods and says, "Yes, that sounds fun. Let's go find some ice and berries."

+
+But the deer was fast and smart. It dodged the arrows and ran away. One of the arrows bounced off a rock and flew back. It hit Tom in the leg. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Lila ran to him and saw blood on his leg. She was scared and sorry.
+
+She tried to pull out the arrow, but it was stuck. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. I will help you. I will heal you." She tore a piece of her dress and wrapped it around his leg. She hoped it would stop the bleeding. She said, "We have to go home. Mom will know what to do."
+
+But they were far from home and the woods were big and dark. They did not know the way. They walked and walked, but they only got more lost. Tom was getting weaker and paler. He said, "Lila, I'm tired. I can't walk anymore. Let's rest here." He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.
+
+Lila was very afraid. She did not want to leave Tom, but she did not want to stay in the woods. She looked around and saw a light. It was a fire. She thought, "Maybe there are people there. Maybe they can help us." She said, "Tom, I see a light. I will go and get help. You wait here. I will be back soon."
+
+She ran towards the light, leaving Tom behind. But the light was not from a friendly camp. It was from a trap. Some bad men had set it to catch animals. They saw Lila running and they laughed. They said, "Look, we caught a little girl. She will be our dinner." They grabbed her and tied her up. They threw her on the fire.
+
+Lila screamed and cried. She wished she had never left Tom. She wished they had never played with arrows. She wished they had never seen the deer. She wished they had stayed home. But it was too late. The fire burned her and she died.
+
+Tom never saw Lila again. He never saw anyone again. He lay on the ground and waited for help. But no one came. He was cold and hungry and thirsty and hurt. He said, "Lila, where are you?

+But something is wrong. Some of the pieces are missing. Tommy looks around. He sees his dog, Spot, in the corner. Spot has something in his mouth. It is a puzzle piece. Tommy sees that Spot has chewed some of the pieces. They are broken and wet.
+
+Tommy feels sad and angry. He loves his puzzle. He does not want Spot to ruin it. He runs to Spot and tries to take the piece from his mouth. But Spot growls and runs away. Tommy chases him around the room.
+
+Tommy's mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is happening. She sees Tommy and Spot running and barking. She sees the puzzle on the floor. She sees the broken and wet pieces. She understands what happened. She feels sorry for Tommy.
+
+She picks up Tommy and hugs him. She tells him that she is sorry about his puzzle. She tells him that Spot did not know that the puzzle was not a toy. She tells him that she will help him fix the puzzle or get a new one. She tells him that she loves him.
+
+Tommy feels better. He hugs his mom. He tells her that he loves her too. He tells her that he is sorry for chasing Spot. He tells her that he still likes Spot. He tells her that he wants to play with his puzzle.
+
+Tommy's mom smiles. She puts Tommy down. She helps him pick up the puzzle pieces. She finds some glue and tape. She tries to fix the puzzle as best as she can. She tells Tommy that the puzzle will not look the same, but it will still be fun to play with.
+
+Tommy looks at the puzzle. He sees that some of the pieces are pale and torn. He sees that some of the pieces do not fit well. He sees that the picture of the farm is not perfect. But he does not mind. He still likes his puzzle. He thanks his mom for helping him. He starts to play with his puzzle again. He is happy.
+Anna loved sunflowers. She liked their bright yellow color and their big round faces. She wanted to grow her own sunflowers in her garden. She asked her mom for some seeds and a pot.
+
+"Here you are, Anna," her mom said. "But be careful, the seeds are fragile. You have to plant them gently and water them every day. Then they will grow and bloom."
+
+"Thank you, mom," Anna said. She took the seeds and the pot and went outside. She found a sunny spot in the garden and dug a small hole. She put one seed in the hole and covered it with dirt. She did the same with the other seeds. Then she watered them with her watering can.
+
+"Good job, Anna," her mom said. "Now you have to wait and watch. The seeds will sprout and become little plants. Then they will grow taller and have buds. And then they will open and become sunflowers."
+
+Anna was very excited. She wanted to see her sunflowers soon. She visited her pot every day and watered her seeds. She talked to them and sang to them. She hoped they would hear her and grow faster.
+
+One morning, Anna woke up and ran to the garden. She saw something amazing. Her seeds had sprouted and become little plants. And on top of each plant, there was a big yellow bud. Anna was so happy. She clapped her hands and jumped up and down.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" she shouted. "My sunflowers are almost ready. They have buds. They are going to open soon."
+
+Her mom came and hugged her. "I'm so proud of you, Anna," she said. "You have been a good gardener. You have taken good care of your sunflowers. They are beautiful."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged her mom back. She looked at her sunflowers and said, "Hello, sunflowers. I'm Anna. I'm your friend. I can't wait to see your faces. I hope you like it here. You are welcome in my garden."
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with their toys in the park. They have a big bag with many stuff. They have cars, balls, dolls, and books.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their bag. They find a nice spot under a tree. They open the bag and take out their stuff. They start to play and have fun.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog is fast and loud. He runs to the bag and bites it. He makes a big hole in the bag. The stuff falls out of the bag. The dog grabs some stuff and runs away.
+
+Tim and Sam are scared and sad. They shout at the dog. "Stop! Stop! That is our stuff! Give it back!" But the dog does not listen. He keeps running and playing with the stuff.
+
+Tim and Sam try to get their stuff back. They run after the dog. But the dog is faster and smarter. He hides behind bushes and trees. He jumps over fences and walls. He breaks some stuff with his teeth and paws.
+
+Tim and Sam are tired and angry. They give up. They go back to the bag. The bag is broken. The zip is broken. The stuff is gone or broken. They have nothing to play with.
+
+They look at each other and cry. They hug each other and say. "We are sorry. We are sad. We miss our stuff. We want our stuff back." They wish the dog would go away and never come back. They wish they had a new bag and new stuff. They wish they could play and have fun again.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big package on their porch. It had a red bow and a tag that said "To Lily and Tom, from Uncle Joe".
+
+"Wow, what is it?" Lily asked. "Maybe it is a toy or a book or a cake!"
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. He ran to the package and tried to pull the bow.
+
+But then, their mom came out of the house. She looked angry and scared.
+
+"Stop, Tom! Don't touch that package!" she warned. "It is not for you. It is for Uncle Joe. He is very rich and has many enemies. Someone might have sent him a bad package that can hurt him or us. We have to call the police and let them check it."
+
+Lily and Tom were confused and sad. They wanted to see what was in the package. They did not understand why someone would send a bad package to Uncle Joe. He was very nice and always gave them gifts and candy.
+
+"Mom, why do people do bad things?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I don't know, Lily. Some people are greedy and mean and want to take what others have. But we are not like them. We are good and kind and share what we have. And we love Uncle Joe and want him to be safe. That is why we have to warn him and the police about the package."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They hoped that Uncle Joe was okay and that the police would catch the bad people. They also hoped that one day, they would get a good package from Uncle Joe that they could open and enjoy.
+Tom was a cheerful boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a red car, a blue ball, a yellow duck and a green coin. He liked the coin because it was shiny and made a nice sound when he shook it.
+
+One day, Tom was playing with his coin on the floor. He tossed it up and down and caught it in his hand. He smiled and laughed. He wanted to see how the coin tasted, so he put it in his mouth and chewed on it.
+
+But the coin was hard and bitter. It hurt Tom's teeth and tongue. He made a face and spat it out. He did not like the coin anymore. He started to cry.
+
+His mom heard him cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the coin on the floor and Tom's mouth. She was worried and angry. She picked up Tom and hugged him. She said, "Tom, you should not chew on coins. They are not food. They are dirty and can make you sick. You could also choke on them. You are a good boy, but you have to be careful."
+
+Tom felt sorry and scared. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't chew on coins again. I love you." He gave his mom a kiss and a hug. His mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. Let's go wash your mouth and find something yummy to eat." She took Tom to the bathroom and then to the kitchen. She gave him a glass of milk and a cookie. Tom felt better and happy. He thanked his mom and ate his cookie. He decided to play with his other toys and leave the coin alone. He learned his lesson.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. There is a big tree in the garden. The tree has many branches and leaves. Tom and Lily like to climb the tree and pretend they are birds.
+
+One day, their mom tells them to behave. She says she has to go to the shop and will be back soon. She says they can play in the garden, but they must not go too high on the tree. She says it is not safe. Tom and Lily say yes, mom, and hug her. Mom leaves and they wave goodbye.
+
+Tom and Lily run to the tree. They start to climb the tree. They have fun. They sing and laugh. They see the sky and the clouds. They see the birds and the flowers. They forget what mom said.
+
+They go higher and higher on the tree. They reach the top of the tree. They feel happy. They look around. They see the sun is going down. They see the sky is getting dark. They see the stars are coming out. They see the moon is shining.
+
+They hear a noise. They look down. They see mom is back. She is looking for them. She is calling their names. She sounds angry. She sees them on the tree. She says, "Tom! Lily! What are you doing up there? Come down right now! You did not behave! You did not listen to me! It is dark and dangerous! You could fall and hurt yourself!"
+
+Tom and Lily feel scared. They say sorry, mom. They start to climb down the tree. They are careful. They are slow. They reach the ground. They run to mom. They hug her. They say sorry again. Mom hugs them back. She says, "I'm glad you are safe. But you must never do that again. You must behave and follow the rules. You must not go too high on the tree. You must come inside when it is dark. Do you understand?" Tom and Lily nod. They say yes, mom. They say they love her. Mom says she loves them too. She takes them inside. She gives them a snack and a kiss. She tucks them in bed. She says good night. Tom and Lily say good night. They close their eyes. They dream of the tree and the stars.
+Lily loved to spin. She spun in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She spun so fast that she felt dizzy and happy. One day, her mom made her a waffle for breakfast. It was round and brown and smelled sweet.
+
+"Here you go, Lily. Eat your waffle and then we can go to the zoo," her mom said.
+
+Lily took a bite of her waffle and then put it down. She wanted to spin more. She jumped off her chair and started to spin in the kitchen.
+
+"Lily, stop spinning and finish your waffle. It will get cold and you will be hungry," her mom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She spun and spun and spun. She did not see the waffle on the table. She bumped into it and knocked it off. The waffle fell on the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+"Oh no, Lily! Look what you did! You wasted your waffle and made a mess. Now you have to clean it up and you can't go to the zoo," her mom said.
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She realized that she was not obedient and that she should have listened to her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly and I did not eat my waffle. I will clean it up and I will be obedient next time."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be more careful and respectful. Spinning is fun, but not when you ignore your mom and your food. Next time, eat your waffle first and then you can spin as much as you want."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I love you and I love waffles."
+
+She cleaned up the mess and then ate another waffle that her mom made for her. She felt full and happy. She thanked her mom and then they went to the zoo. Lily saw many animals and she spun with joy. But she also remembered to be obedient and to listen to her mom. She learned that spinning is good, but not too much.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Sara likes math. She can count and add. Tom likes to roll. He can roll on the floor and on the grass. He has a cute ball that he rolls everywhere.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom go to the park. Sara brings her math book. She wants to show Tom how to do math. Tom brings his ball. He wants to show Sara how to roll. They sit on a bench and open the book.
+
+"Look, Tom, this is math. You can use numbers to make things. See, one and one is two. Two and two is four. Four and four is eight. Can you say that?" Sara asks.
+
+Tom looks at the book. He does not like math. He thinks math is hard and boring. He likes to roll. He sees a hill. He wants to roll down the hill. He says, "No, Sara, I don't want to do math. I want to roll. Come, roll with me. It is fun. See, I can roll like this." He grabs his ball and runs to the hill.
+
+"Tom, wait, don't go. Math is fun too. You can learn a lot from math. You can be smart and solve problems. You can roll later. Please, stay with me." Sara calls.
+
+But Tom does not listen. He rolls down the hill with his ball. He laughs and shouts. He feels happy and free. He does not see the road. He does not see the car. He does not hear the horn. He does not feel the pain.
+
+Sara sees what happens. She screams and cries. She runs to Tom. She sees his ball. It is broken and dirty. She sees Tom. He is still and quiet. He does not laugh or shout. He does not feel happy or free. He does not roll anymore.
+
+Sara is sad and sorry. She wishes she could roll with Tom. She wishes she could do math with Tom. She wishes she could play with Tom. She learns a lesson. She learns that friends are more important than books. She learns that life is more precious than fun. She learns that rolling can be dangerous. She learns that math can be useful. She learns that she should listen and care. She learns that she should say, "I love you, Tom."
+Anna liked to look at the birds in the pet shop. They had many colors and sang pretty songs. She wanted to have a bird of her own, but her mom said they were too expensive and too much work.
+
+One day, Anna saw a birdcage outside the pet shop. It was big and shiny and had a sign that said "Free". Anna thought it was a gift for her. She ran to the birdcage and opened the door. Inside, there was a small yellow bird. It looked scared and sad.
+
+"Hello, birdie," Anna said. "Do you want to come with me? I will be your friend and give you food and water and a nice home."
+
+The bird did not answer. It just looked at Anna with its black eyes.
+
+"Please, birdie, don't be afraid. I will take good care of you. You belong with me," Anna said.
+
+She reached her hand inside the birdcage and tried to grab the bird. But the bird did not want to go with Anna. It flapped its wings and pecked at her fingers. It made a loud noise that sounded like "No, no, no!"
+
+Anna was surprised and hurt. She pulled her hand back and started to cry.
+
+"Why don't you like me, birdie? Why don't you want to be my friend?" Anna asked.
+
+Just then, a man came out of the pet shop. He saw Anna and the birdcage and frowned.
+
+"Hey, kid, what are you doing? That's not your birdcage. That's mine. I left it here for a minute while I went inside to get some seeds. That's my bird, too. His name is Sunny. He's very smart and loyal, but he doesn't like strangers. He only likes me. He belongs with me," the man said.
+
+He took the birdcage from Anna and closed the door. He looked at Anna and saw her tears.
+
+"I'm sorry, kid, but you can't have my bird. He's not free. He's very expensive and very special. He's my best friend. Maybe you can find another bird that suits you better. But not this one. This one is mine," the man said.
+
+He walked away with the birdcage and the bird. Anna watched them go and felt very sad. She wished she had a bird of her own, a bird that would like her and be her friend. A bird that would belong with her.
+Lila and Sam were young friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There, they saw a big pile of sand and some buckets and shovels. They decided to build a temple with the sand.
+
+"Look, Sam, I made a tower!" Lila said, showing her bucket.
+
+"Wow, Lila, that's great!" Sam said. "Can I help you?"
+
+"Yes, please. We can make more towers and walls and a door."
+
+They worked hard and had fun. They used sticks and stones and leaves to decorate their temple. They made it look very pretty.
+
+"Look, moms, we made a temple!" they shouted, when they finished.
+
+Their moms came over and smiled. They were very proud of their children.
+
+"What a wonderful temple, Lila and Sam!" one mom said. "You are very creative and clever."
+
+"Yes, you are," the other mom said. "You worked well together and encouraged each other."
+
+Lila and Sam felt happy. They hugged their moms and thanked them. Then they invited them to visit their temple. They showed them all the details and told them stories about their temple. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben love to swim in the sea. They have masks and fins to see the fish and the reef. The reef is a big rock with many colors and shapes. Some fish are big and some are small. Some are shy and some are friendly.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a new fish. It is long and thin and flexible. It can bend and twist and curl. It is yellow and black and has stripes. Anna and Ben want to get closer to the fish, but it is very fast and swims away.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's follow the fish!" Anna says. She is brave and curious.
+
+"I don't know, Anna, it looks scary. Maybe it can bite or sting." Ben says. He is nervous and cautious.
+
+"Don't be afraid, Ben, it is just a fish. It won't hurt us. We can be flexible too. We can swim and dive and turn. Let's encourage each other and have fun!" Anna says. She smiles and holds Ben's hand.
+
+"Okay, Anna, I will try. You are right, it is just a fish. And it is very pretty. Maybe it wants to play with us." Ben says. He feels more confident and happy.
+
+Anna and Ben swim after the fish. They are flexible and fast. They see the fish bend and twist and curl. They do the same. The fish sees them and stops. It looks at them and wiggles. It seems to like them. Anna and Ben giggle and wiggle too. They make a new friend. They have a great time in the sea.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But today, they saw something new. A big truck with a red cross on it. It was a truck for people who were hurt.
+
+"Look, Ben, a truck!" Lily said. "What is it for?"
+
+Ben shrugged. He did not know. He wanted to see. He ran to the truck. Lily followed him. They saw a man and a woman in white clothes. They had boxes and bags with them.
+
+"Hello, kids," the man said. "We are here to help people who are sick or hurt. Do you want to see what we have?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They were curious. The man opened a box. He showed them some bandages. They were white and soft.
+
+"Bandages are for covering wounds," the man said. "They stop the bleeding and keep the germs away. Do you want to try one?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded again. The man gave them each a bandage. He showed them how to wrap it around their arms.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said. "I feel like a superhero!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "We are bandage buddies!"
+
+They laughed and clapped. They liked their bandages. The woman smiled. She opened another bag. She showed them some stickers. They had stars and hearts on them.
+
+"Stickers are for making people happy," the woman said. "They are a reward for being brave and strong. Do you want one?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded again. The woman gave them each a sticker. They put them on their bandages.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Ben and Lily said. "You are very nice!"
+
+The man and the woman hugged them. They were happy to see them smile.
+
+"You are very welcome," the man said. "You are very sweet!"
+
+They heard a siren. It was another truck. It was a truck for people who were wealthy. It had a lot of gold and jewels on it.
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to go," the woman said. "That is our boss. He is very rich, but he is not very kind. He does not like us to talk to kids. He thinks we are wasting time and money."
+
+Ben and Lily frowned. They did not like the boss. He sounded mean.
+
+"Can you stay with us?" Ben asked. "We like you more than him."
+
+The man and the woman looked at each other. They wished they could stay. But they had to go. They had a job to do.
+
+"We are sorry, kids," the woman said. "We have to go. But we will always remember you. You are our bandage buddies. And you are more precious than any gold or jewels."
+
+They kissed them goodbye. They got in the truck. They waved to them. Ben and Lily waved back. They watched them drive away.
+
+They felt sad. But they also felt happy. They had made new friends. They had learned new things. They had bandages and stickers. They did not need gold or jewels. They had each other. They were bandage buddies. And they were wealthy in their hearts.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles. Lily found a shiny pebble and put it on top of her castle. She was very proud of her pebble.
+
+"Look, Max, I have a pebble!" she said. "It is gray and smooth and pretty."
+
+Max looked at Lily's pebble and wanted it for himself. He thought it would make his castle better. He waited until Lily was not looking and took the pebble from her castle. He hid it in his pocket.
+
+Lily saw that her pebble was gone and was very sad. She looked around and saw a hole in Max's pocket. She saw a bit of gray inside.
+
+"Max, you took my pebble!" she cried. "That is not nice! Give it back to me!"
+
+Max felt guilty and scared. He did not want to lose his friend. He knew he did not behave well.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was wrong. Here is your pebble. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily was still angry, but she saw that Max was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She took her pebble and put it back on her castle.
+
+"Thank you, Max," she said. "But next time, ask me first. Maybe we can share the pebble."
+
+Max nodded and smiled. He was glad that Lily was not mad at him anymore. He learned to behave better. They hugged and continued to play in the sand. They were happy again.
+Tom is a frog who likes to hop. He hops on the grass, on the rocks, on the logs. He hops all day and all night. He is happy when he hops.
+
+One night, he sees a big, round, bright thing in the sky. He thinks it is a ball. He wants to hop on it. He hops higher and higher, but he cannot reach it. He asks his friend Lily, who is a rabbit, what it is.
+
+Lily says, "That is not a ball. That is the moon. It is very far away. You cannot hop on it. It is dry and cold. You would not like it."
+
+Tom is sad. He likes balls. He likes wet and warm things. He does not like dry and cold things. He says, "Why is the moon there? Why can I not hop on it?"
+
+Lily says, "The moon is there to give us light at night. It is a friend of the stars. They are pretty to look at, but we cannot touch them. We can only hop on the earth. The earth is our home. It has water and plants and animals. It is good for us."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "You are right. The earth is good for us. The moon and the stars are good to look at. I do not need to hop on them. I can hop on the earth with you. You are my friend. You make me happy."
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "You are my friend too. You make me happy. Let us hop together and enjoy the night."
+
+They hop and hop and hop, under the moon and the stars. They are happy when they hop.
+Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a pistol in their dad's closet. It was shiny and black and made a loud noise when they pulled the trigger. They thought it was a fun toy and decided to take it outside.
+
+They saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. They wanted to cut some of them and make a fort. They used the pistol to shoot at the tree and cut the branches. They did not know that the pistol was not a toy, but a real gun that could hurt people and animals.
+
+A bird was sitting on the tree, singing a happy song. It did not see the brothers or the pistol. Suddenly, it heard a loud noise and felt a sharp pain in its wing. It fell to the ground, bleeding and crying. The brothers saw the bird and ran to it. They felt guilty and scared. They did not mean to hurt the bird. They wanted to help it, but they did not know how.
+
+A man was walking by and heard the noise and the bird's cry. He saw the brothers and the pistol and the bird. He was angry and shocked. He took the pistol from the brothers and called their dad. He told him what they had done and how they had hurt the bird. He said they were very naughty and careless and could have hurt themselves or someone else.
+
+Their dad came and saw the bird and the pistol and the brothers. He was very sad and disappointed. He took the brothers home and scolded them. He told them that the pistol was not a toy, but a dangerous weapon that could kill. He told them that they should never touch it or play with it. He told them that they should respect life and nature and not harm them. He told them that they should say sorry to the bird and the man and learn from their mistake.
+
+The brothers felt very guilty and sorry. They cried and hugged their dad. They said they were sorry and that they would never do it again. They went back to the man and the bird and apologized. The man was kind and forgave them. He said he would take the bird to the vet and try to save it. He said he hoped they would be more careful and responsible in the future.
+
+The brothers learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that guns are not toys, but weapons that can hurt and kill. They learned that they should not cut or harm living things, but protect and care for them. They learned that they should listen to their dad and follow his rules. They learned that they should feel guilty and sorry when they do something wrong and try to make it right. They learned that playing with toys is fun, but playing with life is not.
+Lily was lonely. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to draw and read, but the other kids liked to run and shout. They did not want to share their toys or books with her. Lily felt sad and angry.
+
+One day, she received a letter in the mail. It was from her grandma, who lived far away. Lily loved her grandma. She opened the letter and read:
+
+"Dear Lily, I miss you very much. I hope you are happy and healthy. I have a surprise for you. I am sending you a present. It is something very special. You will see it soon. Love, Grandma."
+
+Lily was curious and excited. What could the present be? She had an urge to find out. She ran to her mom and showed her the letter.
+
+"Mom, look! Grandma sent me a letter. She says she has a surprise for me. What do you think it is?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily.
+
+"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe it's a toy, or a book, or a dress. We'll have to wait and see. Maybe it will come tomorrow."
+
+Lily nodded, but she was impatient. She wanted to see the present now. She thought about it all night and all day. She wondered if it would make her happy and less lonely.
+
+The next day, when Lily came home from school, she saw a big box on the porch. It had her name on it. She ran to the box and opened it. Inside, she saw a fluffy brown puppy. It had a red bow around its neck and a tag that said: "For Lily, from Grandma. I hope you like your new friend."
+
+Lily gasped and smiled. She picked up the puppy and hugged it. The puppy licked her face and wagged its tail. Lily felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in her heart. She was not lonely anymore. She had a friend.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the puppy.
+
+"Mom, look! Grandma sent me a puppy. It's the best present ever. Thank you, Grandma. I love you. And I love my puppy. Can I keep him?"
+
+Mom smiled and nodded.
+
+"Of course, you can keep him, sweetie. He's yours. What will you name him?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she said:
+
+"I will name him Buddy. Because he's my buddy. And we will always be together."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and Buddy.
+
+"That's a wonderful name, sweetie. I'm so happy for you. You and Buddy will have a lot of fun and adventures. And maybe you can make some new friends at school, too. Who knows? Maybe some of the other kids like puppies, too."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She felt happy and grateful. She had received a wonderful present. She had an urge to play with Buddy. And she was not lonely anymore. She had a friend.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. Sara likes the white car best. Ben likes the red car best.
+
+One day, they decide to drive their cars around the house. They make loud noises as they zoom and beep. They pretend they are going to the park, the store, and the zoo. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But Mom is working in her room. She needs quiet to do her work. She hears the twins making a lot of noise. She comes out of her room and says, "Sara, Ben, please be quiet. I need to work. Can you play something else?"
+
+Sara and Ben look at Mom. They do not want to make her sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will be quiet. We can play something else."
+
+They think of what they can play. They see their books, their puzzles, and their stuffed animals. They decide to play with their stuffed animals. They make a pretend zoo with their animals. They talk softly to their animals. They give them names and food and hugs.
+
+Mom is happy. She can work in her room. She hears the twins being quiet. She smiles and says, "Thank you, Sara, Ben. You are very good. I love you."
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play camp in the backyard. They have a tent, a flashlight and some snacks. They pretend they are explorers in the woods.
+
+One night, it starts to rain. Tim and Sam hear the drops on the tent. They think it is fun. They turn on the flashlight and tell stories.
+
+"Did you hear that?" Sam asks. "It sounds like a bear!"
+
+Tim laughs. "No, silly. It is just the wind. There are no bears here. We are tough explorers. We are not afraid of anything."
+
+They hug their pillows and close their eyes.
+
+But the rain gets harder and harder. The tent gets wet. The water comes in. Tim and Sam feel cold and wet. They are not having fun anymore.
+
+"Tim, I don't like this," Sam says. "I want to go inside. I want to be warm and dry."
+
+Tim nods. "Me too. Let's go. We can play camp another day."
+
+They grab their flashlight and snacks and run to the house. They are soaked. They see their mom at the door. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Are you OK, boys?" she asks. "You look like you had an adventure."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They tell her about their camp and the rain and the bear. She listens and laughs.
+
+"You are very brave and tough," she says. "But now you need a bath and some hot cocoa. Come on, let's go inside."
+
+Tim and Sam follow her. They are happy to be warm and dry. They still like to play camp, but they also like to be cozy. They decide to play camp again when the sun is out.
+Sara liked to travel with her mom and dad. They went to many places in their car. Sara saw mountains, lakes, animals, and flowers. She learned new things and had fun.
+
+But Sara did not like to wear her vest. It was red and warm, but Sara thought it was too tight and itchy. She wanted to wear her pink dress or her blue shirt. She was stubborn and said no to her mom and dad when they told her to put on her vest.
+
+One day, they traveled to a place where it was very cold and windy. Sara's mom and dad wore their coats and hats. They told Sara to wear her vest and a hat too. But Sara still said no. She said she was not cold and she liked her dress.
+
+They went out of the car and walked to a park. Sara saw snow and ice. She felt the wind on her face and arms. She shivered and wished she had her vest. She saw other kids wearing vests and hats. They looked warm and happy.
+
+Sara ran back to the car and looked for her vest. She found it in the back seat. She put it on and felt better. She also found a hat and gloves. She wore them too. She went back to the park and joined her mom and dad. They hugged her and smiled. Sara said sorry for being stubborn. She said she liked her vest now. They played in the snow and had fun. Sara learned that sometimes her mom and dad knew best.
+Tim and Sue are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big parade on the street. There are many people, cars, bikes, and animals. They hear loud music and see bright colors.
+
+"Wow, look at the parade!" Tim says. "Can we go closer, mom?"
+
+"Sure, but hold my hand, okay?" mom says. "The street is busy and we don't want to get lost."
+
+Tim and Sue hold mom's hand and walk to the sidewalk. They see a big truck with a lion in a cage. The lion looks sad and bored. Tim and Sue feel sorry for the lion.
+
+"Mom, why is the lion in a cage?" Sue asks. "He wants to be free, right?"
+
+"I don't know, sweetie," mom says. "Maybe he is from a circus or a zoo. But you're right, he would be happier in the wild."
+
+Tim has an idea. He sees a key hanging from the truck driver's belt. He lets go of mom's hand and runs to the truck. He grabs the key and runs back to the cage. He tries to unlock the cage.
+
+"Tim, what are you doing?" mom shouts. "Come back here, it's dangerous!"
+
+But Tim does not listen. He wants to help the lion. He puts the key in the lock and turns it. The cage door opens. The lion sees the door and jumps out. He roars loudly and runs to the street.
+
+The people in the parade scream and panic. The cars and bikes stop and honk. The animals run away. The truck driver chases the lion. Tim and Sue are scared and shocked. They run to mom and hug her.
+
+"Tim, that was very naughty and foolish!" mom says. "You could have been hurt or worse! You should never touch things that are not yours, especially dangerous things like lions!"
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Tim says. "I just wanted to free the lion. He looked so sad."
+
+"I know, honey, but you can't do that," mom says. "The lion belongs to someone else, and he might hurt you or other people. You have to be careful and alert when you see wild animals. They are not like pets or toys."
+
+"Okay, mom," Tim says. "I won't do it again."
+
+Mom hugs Tim and Sue. She is glad they are safe. She hopes the lion is safe too. She decides to take them home and away from the parade. She hopes they learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They like to make noise and mess with their toys.
+
+"Look, I have a big car!" Tom says, holding a heavy red car. He zooms it around the floor and crashes it into a pile of blocks.
+
+"Ouch, that hurts!" Lily says, rubbing her leg where the car hit her. She is holding a doll with a pink dress. She likes to comb her doll's hair and make her talk.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Tom says. "Do you want to play with my car?"
+
+"No, thank you," Lily says. "I like my doll better. She is pretty and nice."
+
+Tom and Lily play with their own toys for a while, but they get bored. They look around and see that the living room is very messy. There are toys everywhere and no space to walk.
+
+"Mommy will be mad if she sees this," Tom says. "We should organize our toys."
+
+"What does organize mean?" Lily asks.
+
+"It means to put things in the right place," Tom says. "Like, we can put the cars in the car box, and the dolls in the doll basket, and the books on the shelf."
+
+"OK, let's do that," Lily says. "But how do we know which is the right place?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Let's make signs," he says. "We can use paper and crayons and write the names of the toys on them. Then we can stick them on the boxes and baskets and shelf."
+
+"That sounds fun," Lily says. "Let's do that."
+
+Tom and Lily get some paper and crayons from the drawer. They write the names of the toys on the paper, using big letters. They are not very good at writing, but they try their best. They make signs for cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. Then they stick them on the boxes and baskets and shelf with tape.
+
+"Now we can organize our toys," Tom says. "Let's start with the cars."
+
+Tom and Lily pick up the cars from the floor and put them in the car box. They look at the sign and say "car" together. They do the same with the dolls, the blocks, the books, and the other toys. They work hard and have fun. Soon, the living room is clean and tidy.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Lily says. "We organized our toys!"
+
+"Yes, we did!" Tom says. "Mommy will be happy when she sees this."
+
+They high-five each other and smile. They are proud of themselves. They organized their toys.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they found a big box. It was empty. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it has a figure of a princess or a dragon," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe it has a figure of a superhero or a robot," Tom said.
+
+They both wanted to see. They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They pulled and pushed, but the box did not move.
+
+"Let me do it," Lily said. "I am stronger than you."
+
+"No, you are not," Tom said. "I am smarter than you."
+
+They began to quarrel. They shouted and tugged at the box. They did not share or help each other.
+
+"Stop it, you two," a voice said. It was Mom. She came to the garden and saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over an empty box?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They knew they were wrong.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We wanted to see what was inside the box."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them and said, "There is nothing inside the box, my dears. It is just a box. But you can use it to make something fun. You can use your imagination and creativity. You can make a castle or a spaceship or a tent. You can make anything you want. But you have to work together and be kind to each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will be good friends again."
+
+They apologized to each other and hugged. Then they took the box and started to make something fun. They used their imagination and creativity. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the quarrel and the figure. They were happy with the empty box.
+Lily and Ben like to draw and color. They have many crayons and stickers and papers. They want to make a book with their drawings. They need to decorate each page and put them together.
+
+Lily starts to decorate her page. She draws a big sun and a rainbow. She uses yellow and orange and red and purple and blue and green. She is very happy with her colors. She says, "Look, Ben, I made a sunny day!"
+
+Ben looks at Lily's page. He likes it, but he wants to make something different. He draws a big moon and some stars. He uses black and white and silver and gold. He is very proud of his shapes. He says, "Look, Lily, I made a night sky!"
+
+Lily and Ben show each other their pages. They say, "Wow, you are very good at decorating!" They smile and hug. They want to make more pages for their book.
+
+They make more pages with different things. They draw animals and flowers and cars and houses. They use many crayons and stickers and papers. They have fun and talk and laugh.
+
+When they finish their pages, they want to put them together. They need to be organized. They sort their pages by color and shape and theme. They use a stapler and some tape to make a book. They write their names on the cover. They say, "We made a book with our decorations!"
+
+Lily and Ben show their book to their mom and dad. They are very happy and proud. Their mom and dad are very impressed and proud. They say, "You are very creative and organized!" They hug and kiss them. They read their book together. They have a cozy and lovely time.
+Sara likes to play with her drum. She likes to make loud sounds and tap fast and slow. She wants to learn how to play better. She asks her big brother Tom to teach her.
+
+Tom is happy to help Sara. He says, "I can teach you some rhythm. Rhythm is when you tap in a pattern. Like this: tap-tap, pause, tap-tap, pause. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara tries to copy Tom. She taps her drum twice, then stops, then taps twice again. She smiles and says, "I did it! I did rhythm!"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Good job, Sara! You have a clear rhythm. That means you tap the same way every time. Do you want to learn more?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, please! Teach me more, Tom!"
+
+Tom and Sara play with the drum for a long time. They learn different rhythms and have fun. They make music together. Sara is happy that Tom is a good teacher. Tom is proud of Sara's learning. They hug and say, "We love rhythm!"
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide. Sara wanted to go on the slide. Ben was scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide. It is fun!" Sara said.
+
+"No, Sara, the slide is too high. I don't want to go. You are stupid!" Ben said.
+
+Sara was angry. She did not like Ben calling her stupid. She ran to the slide and climbed up. She looked down and smiled. She enjoyed the slide. She slid down fast and laughed.
+
+"See, Ben, the slide is not scary. It is awesome!" Sara said.
+
+Ben watched Sara. He felt bad. He wanted to try the slide too. He was sorry for calling Sara stupid. He walked to the slide and climbed up. He looked down and felt nervous. He held his breath and slid down. He felt a rush and smiled.
+
+"Wow, Sara, you are right. The slide is awesome!" Ben said.
+
+Sara and Ben hugged. They were happy. They played on the slide again and again. They enjoyed the park. They were friends.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They wear warm hats and coats and boots and gloves.
+
+One day, they see a big pile of snow near their house. They think it is a good place to make a snow fort. They run to the pile and start to dig and shape the snow. They make a door and a window and a roof. They are very happy.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a snow plow. It is coming to clear the road. It is very big and noisy and scary. It pushes the snow to the side of the road. It does not see Sara and Ben's snow fort.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara says. "Our snow fort! It will be gone!"
+
+Ben looks at the snow plow. He is not afraid. He has an idea. He says to Sara, "Don't worry. We can make another snow fort. But first, let's have some fun."
+
+He picks up a snowball and throws it at the snow plow. It hits the window. The driver is surprised. He stops the snow plow and looks out. He sees Sara and Ben. They are laughing and throwing more snowballs.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" the driver says. "Stop that! You are making a mess!"
+
+Sara and Ben shrug. They do not care. They think it is funny. They keep throwing snowballs. The snow plow is messy. It has snow on the window and the roof and the wheels.
+
+The driver is angry. He honks the horn. He tries to move the snow plow. But it is stuck. The snow is too deep. He cannot clear the road.
+
+Sara and Ben stop throwing snowballs. They look at the snow plow. They think it is silly. They giggle and run away. They go to find another place to make a snow fort. They have more fun in winter.
+Tom and Anna like to play at the park. They run, jump, swing and climb. But their favorite thing is to slide. They slide down the big slide, the small slide, the twisty slide and the bumpy slide.
+
+One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is very tall and shiny. It has a big eye at the top. The eye looks at them and blinks.
+
+"Wow, look at that slide!" Tom says. "It has an eye!"
+
+"Let's go slide on it!" Anna says. "It looks fun!"
+
+They run to the new slide and climb the stairs. They reach the eye and say hello.
+
+"Hello, children," the eye says. "Do you want to slide on me?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna say.
+
+"OK, but you have to do something silly first," the eye says. "You have to make a funny face and a funny noise."
+
+Tom and Anna giggle. They make silly faces and noises. They stick out their tongues, cross their eyes, wiggle their ears and say "blablabla".
+
+The eye laughs. "That's very silly! You can slide now. Have fun!"
+
+Tom and Anna slide down the new slide. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They scream with joy.
+
+They reach the bottom and hug each other. They look up at the eye and wave.
+
+"Thank you, eye!" they say. "That was the best slide ever!"
+
+"You're welcome, children," the eye says. "Come back anytime. I like to see you smile."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big building. It is colorful. It has many windows and doors. Lily and Tom want to find out what is inside.
+
+They walk to the building. They see a sign. It says "Library". Lily and Tom do not know what that means. They open a door. They see many books. Books are on shelves and tables. Books have pictures and words.
+
+"Wow, look at all the books!" Lily says. "Can we read them?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe we can ask someone."
+
+They see a lady. She is sitting at a desk. She has a name tag. It says "Miss Sue". She smiles at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Hello, children," she says. "Welcome to the library. Do you like books?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Lily and Tom say.
+
+"Would you like to borrow some books?" Miss Sue asks. "You can take them home and read them with your parents."
+
+"Really?" Lily and Tom say. "That sounds fun!"
+
+Miss Sue helps them find some books. She gives them a card. It says "Library Card". She tells them to bring the books back in two weeks.
+
+"Thank you, Miss Sue," Lily and Tom say. "We will come back soon."
+
+They leave the building. They are happy. They have found a new place to explore. They have found some new books to read. They have found a new friend. They can't wait to tell their parents.
+Tom and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat chicken for dinner. But they had no chicken at home. They saw a farm with many chickens. They decided to take one chicken from the farm.
+
+They went to the farm when it was dark. They were scared of the big dog that guarded the farm. They heard the dog bark and growl. They shivered with fear. They saw a chicken sleeping in a coop. They tried to grab the chicken.
+
+But the chicken woke up and made a loud noise. "Cluck, cluck, cluck!" The chicken cried. The dog heard the chicken and ran to the coop. The dog saw Tom and Sue and chased them. Tom and Sue dropped the chicken and ran away. They ran as fast as they could. They were sorry for trying to take the chicken.
+
+The farmer heard the noise and came out. He saw the dog and the chicken. He was calm and kind. He petted the dog and the chicken. He said, "Good dog, good chicken. You protected the farm. You are brave and smart. I am proud of you." He gave the dog and the chicken some food and water. He thanked them for their work.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. It is wrong and dangerous. Be honest and respectful. It is good and safe.
+Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big crane that was lifting heavy things. The crane had a long arm and a big hook. Tom and Lily wanted to see the crane up close.
+
+"Mom, can we go near the crane?" Tom asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful and stay with me," Mom said.
+
+They walked to the fence where the crane was working. They saw a man in a small box at the end of the crane's arm. He was wearing a yellow hat and a green shirt. He was talking on a radio.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Crane!" Lily shouted.
+
+The man heard Lily and looked down. He smiled and waved at her. Lily waved back.
+
+"Hi, little girl! Do you like my crane?" the man asked.
+
+"Yes, I do! It's very big and strong!" Lily said.
+
+"Thank you! It's my job to move things with my crane. Do you want to see?" the man asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+The man used his radio to tell his friends to bring something. Soon, a big truck came with a huge teddy bear on its back. The crane's hook grabbed the teddy bear and lifted it high in the air.
+
+"Wow!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+The man swung the crane's arm and moved the teddy bear to another place. He put it down gently and let go of the hook.
+
+"Did you like that?" the man asked.
+
+"That was amazing! Thank you, Mr. Crane!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids! Have a nice day!" the man said.
+
+He waved at them again and went back to his work. Tom and Lily waved at him too. They were very happy. They had seen something different and made a new friend. They hugged their mom and went to play on the swings.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a big orange ball. Ben has a small blue car. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. Sara and Ben want to try it. They climb up the steps and hold the handle. The handle is cold and hard. They look down and see the slide. The slide is shiny and smooth.
+
+"Are you ready?" Sara asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, I am!" Ben says.
+
+They let go of the handle and slide down. They feel the wind on their faces and the sun on their hair. They laugh and scream. They enjoy the slide very much.
+
+They slide down again and again. They do not get tired. They are happy. Their moms watch them and smile. They are proud of Sara and Ben. They are brave and kind. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. Mom said they could help her make it. She gave them a big pot and a wooden spoon.
+
+"First, we need to gather some water," Mom said. "Can you fill the pot with water from the tap?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They took the pot to the sink and turned on the tap. The water was cold and clear. They watched the pot get full.
+
+"Good job!" Mom said. "Now, we need to put the pot on the stove and make the water hot. Be careful, it will be very hot soon."
+
+Mom put the pot on the stove and turned on the fire. The fire was red and yellow. Lily and Ben saw the water start to bubble.
+
+"Next, we need to open the spaghetti box and break the spaghetti in half," Mom said. "Can you do that for me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They took the spaghetti box from the cupboard and opened it. They saw many long, thin noodles inside. They broke them in half and put them in a bowl.
+
+"Great!" Mom said. "Now, we need to wait for the water to boil. Then, we can put the spaghetti in the pot and cook it. It will take a few minutes."
+
+Lily and Ben waited. They were very hungry. They smelled the spaghetti sauce that Mom had made. It smelled good.
+
+"Can we taste the sauce, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful, it might be hot," Mom said. She gave them each a small spoon and a little bit of sauce.
+
+Lily and Ben tasted the sauce. It was yummy. They wanted more.
+
+"Can we have more sauce, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not now, honey. We have to save some for the spaghetti. It's almost ready," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben were not happy. They wanted more sauce. They saw the big pot of sauce on the stove. It looked open.
+
+"Let's get more sauce, Lily," Ben whispered.
+
+"OK, Ben," Lily whispered back.
+
+They tiptoed to the stove. They reached for the pot of sauce. They did not see the fire. They did not hear Mom.
+
+They touched the pot. It was very hot. They screamed. The pot fell. The sauce spilled. The fire burned.
+
+Mom heard them. She ran to the stove. She saw the mess. She saw the fire. She saw Lily and Ben. They were hurt. They were crying.
+
+Mom was scared. She was angry. She was sad.
+
+She grabbed Lily and Ben. She turned off the fire. She called for help.
+
+She hugged Lily and Ben. She said sorry. She said she loved them.
+
+But it was too late. The spaghetti was ruined. The lunch was ruined. The day was ruined.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they see a big orange ball in the shop window. They want the ball very much.
+
+"Look, Lily, the ball is so big and orange!" Tom says. "Can we have it, please?"
+
+Lily nods. "Yes, Tom, it is very pretty. But we need money to buy it. How can we get money?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that their mom gives them money when they help her with chores. He has an idea.
+
+"Let's decide to help mom with chores. Then she will give us money. Then we can buy the ball!" he says.
+
+Lily agrees. "That is a good idea, Tom. Let's go and ask mom what we can do."
+
+They run to the kitchen, where their mom is making lunch. They tell her their plan.
+
+"That is very nice of you, Tom and Lily," their mom says. "You can help me by setting the table, washing the dishes, and putting away your toys. Then I will give you some money for the ball."
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They decide to help their mom with chores. They work hard and do a good job. Their mom is proud of them. She gives them some money for the ball.
+
+"Thank you, mom!" they say. "We love you!"
+
+They run to the shop and buy the big orange ball. They play with it in the park. They have a lot of fun. They are glad they decided to help their mom.
+Lily wanted to help daddy with the laundry. She was a big girl and very independent. She could do many things by herself, like brushing her teeth, putting on her shoes, and feeding her fish.
+
+She followed daddy to the basement, where the big machine was. Daddy opened the door and took out the dirty clothes. He put them in a basket and said, "Lily, can you help me load the machine?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She picked up a sock and threw it in the machine. Then she picked up a shirt and threw it in. She was having fun. She wanted to load all the clothes by herself.
+
+But daddy said, "Wait, Lily, not that one!" He pointed to a red sweater that Lily was holding. "That one is special. It needs to be washed by hand. If you put it in the machine, it will shrink and be too small."
+
+Lily did not understand. She liked the red sweater. It was soft and warm. She wanted to put it in the machine and make it clean. She did not listen to daddy. She threw the sweater in the machine and closed the door.
+
+Daddy sighed and shook his head. He turned on the machine and said, "Oh, well. Maybe it won't shrink too much. Come on, Lily, let's go upstairs and have a snack."
+
+Lily followed daddy, feeling proud of herself. She had helped him load the machine. She was a good helper and very independent.
+
+The next day, daddy took out the clothes from the machine. He looked at the red sweater and gasped. It was very small. It looked like a sweater for a doll. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, Lily, what happened to your red sweater. It shrunk because you put it in the machine. Now you can't wear it anymore."
+
+Lily looked at the sweater and felt sad. She liked the sweater. She wanted to wear it. She realized she had made a mistake. She said, "Sorry, daddy. I didn't know. I wanted to help you."
+
+Daddy hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you wanted to help. But sometimes you have to listen to me. I know what's best for you. You are still a big girl and very independent, but you also need to learn from me."
+
+Lily nodded and hugged him back. She said, "I love you, daddy. Can we get a new sweater?"
+
+Daddy smiled and said, "Maybe we can. But first, let's see if we can find a doll that fits this one."
+Lily and Ben liked to play with blocks. They made a big stack of blocks in the living room. They used red blocks, blue blocks, yellow blocks and green blocks. They were very proud of their stack.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look!" Lily said. "We made a tower!"
+
+Mommy smiled and came to see. She saw the stack of blocks and clapped her hands. "Wow, that's a very nice tower!" she said. "But be careful, don't knock it down."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to keep their tower. They went to get more blocks from their toy box. They found some shiny blocks that they had never seen before. They were silver and gold and they had little buttons on them.
+
+"What are these?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Let's try them."
+
+They took the shiny blocks and added them to their stack. They pressed the buttons and the blocks started to glow. They glowed red, blue, yellow and green, just like the other blocks. Lily and Ben gasped. They liked the glowing blocks. They made their tower look even nicer.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look!" Ben said. "Our tower glows!"
+
+Mommy turned around and saw the glowing stack of blocks. She frowned and looked worried. She recognized the shiny blocks. They were not toys. They were batteries.
+
+"Oh no, oh no!" Mommy said. "Those are not blocks, those are batteries! They are not for playing, they are for machines! They can be very hot and sour and bad for you! Quick, take them off the stack!"
+
+Lily and Ben did not understand. They liked the glowing blocks. They did not want to take them off. They reached for the stack and touched the batteries. They felt a shock and a burn. They cried out and let go. They tasted something sour in their mouths. They did not like the batteries. They were hot and sour and bad for them.
+
+Mommy ran to them and hugged them. She checked their hands and mouths. She saw some red marks and some white foam. She was scared and angry. She took the batteries off the stack and threw them in the trash. She called the doctor and told him what happened.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Mommy said. "I should have put the batteries away. I did not know you would find them. Are you okay, my babies?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were still crying and hurting. They did not want to play with blocks anymore. They wanted to cuddle with Mommy. They learned a lesson. They would never touch the glowing blocks again. They were not blocks, they were batteries. They were not for playing, they were for machines. They were hot and sour and bad for them.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train that could make noises and move on the tracks. They liked to display their train on the table and pretend they were going on a trip.
+
+But one day, when they came back from the park, they saw that their train was gone. They looked everywhere, but they could not find it. They were very sad and angry.
+
+"Who took our train?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe it was a thief," Ben said. "A thief is a bad person who takes things that are not theirs."
+
+They decided to look for the thief and get their train back. They put on their hats and coats and went outside. They asked their neighbors if they saw anyone with a big train, but no one did.
+
+They were about to give up, when they heard a familiar noise. It was the sound of their train. They followed the noise and saw a boy playing with their train in his yard. He had a big smile on his face.
+
+"Hey, that's our train!" Lily shouted.
+
+The boy looked up and saw them. He looked scared and guilty.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't mean to be a thief. I just liked your train so much. I don't have any toys of my own. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the boy. They knew how it felt to have no toys. They had been poor before, until their mom got a good job.
+
+They decided to be good and kind to the boy. They told him that they would share their train with him, if he promised to ask first and not take things without permission.
+
+The boy nodded and thanked them. He said his name was Sam and he lived with his grandma. He invited them to play with him and his train.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed and became friends with Sam. They learned to display their train together and have fun. They also gave Sam some of their other toys, so he would not feel lonely.
+
+They were happy and proud of themselves. They had found their train, but they had also found a new friend. They had shown that being good is better than being a thief.
+Lily was a bunny who loved to hop. She hopped all day and all night, even when her mom and dad told her to sleep. She wanted to see the sunrise, the big bright ball that came up in the sky every morning. She thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
+
+One night, she decided to hop out of her bed and sneak out of her burrow. She hopped and hopped, following the stars, until she reached a big hill. She climbed up the hill, feeling very tired, but also very excited. She wanted to be the first bunny to see the sunrise.
+
+She reached the top of the hill and looked around. She saw the sky getting lighter and lighter, and then she saw it. The sunrise. It was even more beautiful than she imagined. It was orange and pink and yellow, and it made everything glow. Lily felt very happy and very successful. She had done it. She had seen the sunrise.
+
+She hopped up and down, cheering and laughing. She felt like she could hop forever. She did not notice that her mom and dad had followed her. They were worried about her, but they also felt proud of her. They hugged her and told her they loved her. They also told her it was time to go back home and sleep.
+
+Lily agreed, feeling sleepy. She hopped back down the hill with her mom and dad, feeling very lucky. She had seen the sunrise, and she had her family. She was a very happy and successful bunny.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest near their home. They loved to see the animals and the flowers and the trees. One day, they found a bird with a broken wing. It was lying on the ground and looked very sad.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lila said. "It is hurt. We have to help it."
+
+Ben nodded. He picked up the bird gently and put it in his hat. He and Lila ran back to their home. They showed the bird to their mom, who said they could keep it in a cage until it got better.
+
+The twins were very happy. They named the bird Sky and gave it water and seeds. They talked to it and sang to it every day. Sky seemed to like them, too. He chirped and flapped his wing a little.
+
+After a few weeks, Sky's wing was healed. He could fly again. Lila and Ben were proud of their bird, but they also knew he missed the forest. They decided to do something nice for him.
+
+"Sky, we have a surprise for you," Lila said. "We are going to take you back to the forest. You can see your friends and fly free."
+
+Sky tilted his head and looked at them with his bright eyes. He seemed to understand.
+
+The twins carried the cage to the forest. They found a nice spot under a big tree. They opened the cage door and said, "Go, Sky, go! You are free!"
+
+Sky hesitated for a moment. Then he flew out of the cage and soared into the sky. He was so graceful and fast. He circled around the tree and then came back to the twins. He landed on Lila's shoulder and gave her a gentle peck. Then he flew to Ben's head and did the same. He chirped and thanked them for their kindness.
+
+Lila and Ben smiled and waved goodbye. They watched Sky fly away with his friends. They felt happy and sad at the same time. They knew they would miss Sky, but they also knew he was happy in the forest. They hoped they would see him again someday.
+Lily liked to play jazz on her toy piano. She had many songs in her head that she made up. She liked to share her songs with her friends at school. Sometimes they clapped and cheered for her.
+
+One day, a new boy came to school. His name was Ben. He brought a toy guitar with him. He said he could play jazz too. He played a song for the class. It was very loud and fast. Some of the kids liked it. They clapped and cheered for him.
+
+Lily felt envious. She thought her songs were better than Ben's. She wanted the kids to like her more. She decided to play a new song for them. She played very loud and fast too. She hoped they would clap and cheer for her.
+
+But they did not. They covered their ears and frowned. They said her song was too noisy and messy. They said they liked Ben's song more. They asked him to play again.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to play anymore. She put away her toy piano. She sat in a corner and cried.
+
+Ben saw her crying. He felt sorry for her. He walked over to her. He said, "Hey, Lily, don't cry. I liked your song. It was very creative and fun. You are a good jazz player."
+
+Lily looked up at him. She said, "Really? You liked my song?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, I did. And I want to learn from you. Can you teach me some of your songs?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Sure, I can. And you can teach me some of yours. Maybe we can play together."
+
+Ben said, "That would be great. Let's be friends."
+
+They hugged. They took out their toys. They played jazz together. The other kids listened and liked it. They clapped and cheered for them.
+
+Lily and Ben bowed. They felt happy and proud. They had made new friends and new songs. They had learned to share and appreciate jazz.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Let's jog up the hill!" Sara says. "Maybe we can find something fun!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and we might fall."
+
+They hold hands and start to jog up the hill. They go slow and steady. They see some flowers and some bugs on the way. They say hello to them.
+
+When they reach the top of the hill, they are very happy. They see a big tree with many fruits on it. The fruits are red and yellow and green. They look yummy.
+
+"Wow!" Sara says. "Look at all the fruits! Can we have some?"
+
+"Sure!" Ben says. "But we have to ask the tree first. Maybe the tree is nice and will share with us."
+
+They go to the tree and say, "Hello, tree! You have very nice fruits. Can we have some, please?"
+
+The tree is nice and says, "Hello, children! You are very polite. Yes, you can have some fruits. But only take the small ones. The big ones are for the birds and the squirrels."
+
+"Thank you, tree!" Sara and Ben say. They pick some small fruits and eat them. They are sweet and juicy. They share some with the flowers and the bugs.
+
+They are very happy and thank the tree again. They jog down the hill and go back home. They tell their moms and dads about their adventure. They say they want to go back to the hill and visit the tree again. The tree is their new friend.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they want the same toy. Then they fight.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a big red ball in the park. They both want to play with it. Sara says, "It is my turn. I saw it first." Ben says, "No, it is my turn. I am older." They pull the ball from each other.
+
+Mama sees them. She says, "Stop fighting. You have to share the ball. It is not fair to keep it for yourself." Sara and Ben do not listen. They insist on having the ball. They say, "It is mine. Give it to me."
+
+Mama is sad. She says, "If you cannot share the ball, I will take it away. Then no one can play with it." Sara and Ben do not want that. They like the ball. They look at each other. They think.
+
+Sara says, "Sorry, Ben. You can have the ball for a little while. Then I can have it." Ben says, "Sorry, Sara. You can have the ball for a little while. Then I can have it." They give the ball to each other. They take turns.
+
+Mama is happy. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are learning to share. That is fair and kind. You can keep the ball. But you have to bring it home. We do not know who it belongs to yet." Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mama. Thank you." They hug Mama. They hug each other. They play with the ball. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a truck. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted it.
+
+"Give me your doll!" Ben demanded. "I want to play with it!"
+
+"No!" Lily said. "It is my doll! You have your truck!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He grabbed Lily's doll and ran away. Lily was angry and sad. She chased Ben and tried to get her doll back.
+
+"Stop!" Lily shouted. "That is not nice! Give me my doll!"
+
+Ben ran into the kitchen and saw the iron on the table. He thought it was a toy and picked it up. But the iron was hot and burned his hand. Ben dropped the iron and the doll and screamed.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. "It hurts! It hurts!"
+
+Lily ran into the kitchen and saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben and forgot about the doll. She hugged Ben and tried to comfort him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "The iron is bad. It is not a toy. It is for clothes. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nodded and hugged Lily back. He was sorry too. He gave Lily her doll and said he was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was mean. I should not take your doll. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled and said yes. They were friends again. They put the iron away and went back to the living room. They played with their toys and shared them. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But sometimes, they also liked to knock them down and make a big mess.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a castle!" Ben said, showing his blocks to his sister.
+
+"That's nice, Ben. But can I knock it down?" Lily asked, smiling.
+
+"No, Lily, don't do that! It took me a long time to make it!" Ben said, holding his blocks tightly.
+
+"Please, Ben, just one knock. It will be fun!" Lily said, reaching for his blocks.
+
+"No, Lily, no!" Ben said, pulling his blocks away. But Lily was too fast. She grabbed one block and threw it at his castle. The castle fell down with a loud crash.
+
+"Ha ha, Lily, you are so naughty!" Ben said, pretending to be angry. But he was not really angry. He liked to play with Lily.
+
+But then, they heard a voice from the kitchen. It was their mom.
+
+"Lily, Ben, what are you doing? I heard a loud noise. Did you break something?" Mom said, coming into the room.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the mess they made. They felt sorry. They did not want to make mom angry.
+
+"Sorry, mom. We were playing with our blocks. Lily knocked down my castle. It was an accident." Ben said, trying to explain.
+
+Mom looked at the blocks. She saw a piece of paper under them. She picked it up. It was a message. It said: "To mom, I love you. From Ben."
+
+Mom smiled. She saw that Ben had written the message with his crayons. He had tried to make it look nice. He had drawn a heart and a flower.
+
+"Ben, this is a very sweet message. Thank you. I love you too." Mom said, hugging Ben.
+
+Lily felt bad. She had not written a message for mom. She had only knocked down Ben's castle.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. I did not see your message. It was very nice. Can I help you restore your castle?" Lily said, looking at Ben.
+
+Ben smiled. He was not mad at Lily. He knew she was his sister and she loved him.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can help me. It will be fun. But it will be tough. We have to pick up all the blocks and put them back together." Ben said, looking at the blocks.
+
+"OK, Ben. Let's do it. We can make it even better. And maybe we can write another message for mom. She will be happy." Lily said, picking up a block.
+
+Mom watched them. She was happy too. She saw that Lily and Ben were good kids. They could play and make messes, but they could also say sorry and restore things. She loved them very much.
+Tim and Liz are twins who like to play with their toys. They have a big cart that they use to carry their dolls, cars, books and blocks. They share the cart and take turns to push it around the house and the yard.
+
+One day, Tim finds a magic wand in the attic. He thinks it is a fun toy and he wants to try it out. He points it at Liz and says "Shrink!" Liz feels a strange tickle and then she becomes very small. She is as tiny as a bug and she falls into the cart.
+
+Tim laughs and says "Now I have the cart all to myself! You are too small to play with me!" He pushes the cart away and leaves Liz alone. Liz is scared and sad. She cries and calls for Tim, but he does not hear her.
+
+Tim plays with the wand for a while, but he soon gets bored. He misses Liz and he wants to play with her. He looks for her, but he cannot find her. He remembers that he shrunk her and he feels sorry. He runs to the cart and sees Liz inside. She is still very small and she looks unhappy.
+
+Tim says "I am sorry, Liz. I was mean and selfish. I should not have shrunk you. You are my sister and I love you. Please forgive me." He points the wand at Liz and says "Grow!" Liz feels another tickle and then she becomes big again. She is as happy as a bird and she hugs Tim.
+
+Tim and Liz learn a lesson. They learn that sharing is caring and that magic is not a toy. They put the wand back in the attic and they promise to never use it again. They play with the cart and their toys together. They are strong twins who help each other and have fun.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, houses, cars and more with the blocks.
+
+One day, Tom has an idea. He says to Mia, "Look, I can show you a pattern with the blocks. A pattern is when you put the same things in a row. Like this: red, blue, red, blue, red, blue. See? That is a pattern."
+
+Mia looks at Tom's pattern. She thinks it is great. She says, "Wow, Tom, you are very smart. I want to make a pattern too. Can I try?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, of course. You can use any blocks you want. You can make your own pattern."
+
+Mia picks some blocks. She makes a pattern with yellow, green and purple blocks. She says, "Look, Tom, this is my pattern. Yellow, green, purple, yellow, green, purple. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom looks at Mia's pattern. He thinks it is great too. He says, "Yes, Mia, I like it very much. You are very creative. Your pattern is very pretty."
+
+Tom and Mia smile at each other. They are happy. They have fun making patterns with the blocks. They are good friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They also liked to surprise each other with funny noises and faces.
+
+One day, Tom had a big idea. He found a big bucket and filled it with mud. He hid behind a bush and waited for Lily to come by. He wanted to surprise her with a mud shower.
+
+Lily was looking for Tom. She wondered where he was. She walked around the garden and saw the bush. She heard a noise behind it. She thought it was a bird or a cat. She went closer to see.
+
+"Surprise!" Tom shouted and poured the bucket of mud over Lily's head. Lily screamed and got very wet and dirty. She was not happy. She was angry.
+
+"Tom, that was not nice!" Lily said. "That was mean! You made me all muddy and cold. Why did you do that?"
+
+Tom laughed and said, "It was just a joke. I wanted to surprise you. It was funny."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, it was not funny. It was rude. You should be honest and say sorry."
+
+Tom saw that Lily was really upset. He felt bad. He realized he had made a mistake. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was rude. I should not have surprised you like that. I am honest and I am sorry. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was honest and sorry. She said, "Yes, I can forgive you. But you have to promise not to surprise me with mud again. And you have to help me clean up."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise. And I will help you clean up. Come on, let's go to the hose and wash off the mud."
+
+Tom and Lily went to the hose and washed off the mud. They hugged and made up. They decided to play something else. They learned that surprises can be fun, but not when they hurt someone's feelings. They learned to be honest and say sorry when they do something wrong. They learned to be good friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big hedge with many green leaves. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go and see!" said Lily. She held Tom's hand and they walked to the hedge. They found a small gap and crawled through it. They saw a hidden pond with many fish and frogs. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, Tom, fish!" said Lily. She pointed to the water. The fish were red and blue and yellow. They swam and splashed.
+
+"Can we feed them?" asked Tom. He saw some bread on a bench. He took a piece and broke it into small bits. He threw them into the pond. The fish came and ate them. They made bubbles and noises.
+
+"Hello, fish!" said Tom. He smiled and clapped.
+
+"Hello, children!" said a voice. Lily and Tom turned and saw a man. He was old and kind. He had a hat and a beard. He was the owner of the pond.
+
+"Who are you?" asked Lily.
+
+"I'm Mr. Green. I live here. This is my pond. Do you like it?" said Mr. Green.
+
+"Yes, we do. It's very pretty. We like the fish. We fed them some bread. Is that okay?" said Lily.
+
+"Yes, that's okay. The fish like bread. But not too much. They also need other food. Like worms and insects. Do you want to help me feed them?" said Mr. Green.
+
+"Yes, please!" said Lily and Tom. They followed Mr. Green to his shed. He gave them a bucket and a net. They caught some worms and insects. They fed them to the fish. The fish were very happy.
+
+"Thank you, children. You are very good. Do you want to come back and visit me and the fish again?" said Mr. Green.
+
+"Yes, please!" said Lily and Tom. They hugged Mr. Green and said goodbye. They crawled back through the hedge. They ran and jumped and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They told their mum and dad about their adventure. They couldn't wait to see Mr. Green and the fish again.
+Sara and Ben liked to play with their crayons and paper. They made many prints of animals, flowers and cars. They were proud of their prints and showed them to their mom and dad.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their prints. They wanted to show them to their friends. But when they got to the park, they saw a big dog. The dog was hungry and dirty. It saw the prints and thought they were food. It ran to Sara and Ben and grabbed their prints with its mouth.
+
+"Hey, stop! That's our prints!" Sara shouted.
+
+"Give them back, you bad dog!" Ben cried.
+
+But the dog did not listen. It tore the prints into pieces and ate them. It made a disgusting noise and left some crumbs on the ground. Sara and Ben were very sad and angry. They picked up the crumbs and went back home.
+
+They told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they could make new prints, but they also had to be careful with their things. They said they should not leave their prints where a dog could get them. They said they should return their prints to their room when they were done playing with them.
+
+Sara and Ben learned their lesson. They made new prints and kept them safe in their room. They still liked to show them to their friends, but they always returned them to their room after. They also learned to be kind to animals, even if they were hungry and dirty. They said maybe the dog did not know better and needed some love. They hoped the dog would find a good home and some good food.
+Tim and Lily were two little pigs who lived in a big barn with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the mud, eat corn and apples, and snuggle with their parents at night. But sometimes they also fought with each other over toys, food, and space.
+
+One day, they found an enormous ball in the barn. It was red and shiny and round. They both wanted to play with it, but they did not want to share. They started to tug and push and squeal.
+
+"Mine!" said Tim.
+
+"No, mine!" said Lily.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" said their mom, who heard the noise. "You have to learn to share and be nice. The ball is for everyone, not just for you. If you keep fighting, you will break it or hurt yourselves."
+
+"But mom, I saw it first!" said Tim.
+
+"But mom, I like it more!" said Lily.
+
+Their mom sighed. She had an idea. She took the ball and rolled it outside the barn. She said, "Why don't you both follow the ball and see where it goes? Maybe you will find something fun and new to do. But remember, be careful and stick together."
+
+Tim and Lily were curious. They ran after the ball, which bounced and rolled on the grass. They followed it to a pond, where they saw ducks and frogs and fish. They followed it to a hill, where they saw flowers and butterflies and birds. They followed it to a tree, where they saw squirrels and nuts and acorns.
+
+They forgot about their fight. They started to play with the animals and the plants and the ball. They laughed and smiled and hugged. They realized that the world was big and beautiful and full of wonders. They also realized that they loved each other and that they were happier when they shared and were nice.
+
+They decided to take the ball back to the barn and play with it together. They thanked their mom for her idea and said sorry for their fight. Their mom was proud and happy. She said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. Sharing and being nice are important values. They make you and others happy. Now, let's relax and enjoy the ball as a family."
+
+The end.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they also like to make trouble. One day, they find a pen on the table. It is blue and shiny. They want to draw with it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a pen!" Lila says. "Let's draw on the wall!"
+
+"No, Lila, that is bad!" Ben says. "Mommy will be angry!"
+
+But Lila does not listen. She takes the pen and runs to the wall. She draws a big circle and a smiley face. She laughs.
+
+"Ha ha, look, Ben, a funny face!" Lila says.
+
+Ben is troubled. He knows Mommy will not like the funny face on the wall. He tries to stop Lila. He runs after her and grabs the pen.
+
+"Give me the pen, Lila!" Ben says. "Stop drawing on the wall!"
+
+But Lila does not want to give the pen. She pulls the pen and screams.
+
+"No, Ben, it is my pen!" Lila says. "Let go!"
+
+They pull and pull. The pen breaks. Ink spills everywhere. It makes a big mess. It stains their clothes and hands. It drips on the floor and the sofa.
+
+"Oh no, look what you did, Lila!" Ben says. "Now we are in trouble!"
+
+Lila is scared. She sees the ink and the mess. She starts to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" Lila says. "What can we do?"
+
+They hear Mommy coming. They hide behind the sofa. They hope Mommy will not see them.
+
+But Mommy sees the funny face on the wall. She sees the ink and the mess. She sees the broken pen on the table. She is angry.
+
+"Who did this?" Mommy says. "Lila? Ben? Where are you?"
+
+Lila and Ben are quiet. They do not want to answer. They are afraid of Mommy.
+
+Mommy finds them behind the sofa. She sees their stained clothes and hands. She is not happy.
+
+"Lila and Ben, what did you do?" Mommy says. "Why did you draw on the wall? Why did you break the pen? Why did you make such a mess?"
+
+Lila and Ben are sorry. They look at Mommy with big eyes. They say in a small voice.
+
+"We are sorry, Mommy, we are sorry!" Lila and Ben say. "We just wanted to play with the pen!"
+
+Mommy sighs. She is not angry anymore. She is tired. She loves Lila and Ben. But she wishes they would not make trouble.
+
+"Come here, Lila and Ben," Mommy says. "Let me clean you up. Then you have to help me clean the wall and the floor and the sofa. And no more playing with pens, okay?"
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They hug Mommy. They say they love her.
+
+"We love you, Mommy, we love you!" Lila and Ben say. "We will not play with pens anymore!"
+
+Mommy smiles. She hugs them back. She says she loves them too.
+
+"I love you, Lila and Ben, I love you!" Mommy says. "But next time, please play with something else. How about we feed the fish together?"
+
+Lila and Ben like the fish. They have a fish tank in their room. They have a red fish and a blue fish and a yellow fish. They like to watch them swim and eat.
+
+"Yes, Mommy, yes!" Lila and Ben say. "Let's feed the fish!"
+
+Mommy takes them to their room. She gives them some fish food. They sprinkle it on the water. They watch the fish come and eat. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look!" Lila and Ben say. "The fish are hungry! They like the food!"
+
+Mommy looks. She is happy too. She thinks maybe Lila and Ben will not make trouble for a while. She hopes so. She kisses them on the cheek.
+
+"That's good, Lila and Ben, that's good!" Mommy says. "You are good at feeding the fish. I'm proud of you!"
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They are proud too. They think maybe they will not play with pens anymore. They think maybe they will play with the fish instead. They hope so.
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to match their clothes. They have red shirts, blue pants, and yellow hats. They wear them to school every day. They think they look like a team.
+
+One day, their teacher says they have a new uniform. She shows them a picture. It is a green shirt, black pants, and a white hat. Tom and Jen do not like it. They want to keep their red, blue, and yellow clothes.
+
+The next day, they go to school with their old clothes. They see all the other kids wearing the new uniform. They feel different and sad. They wish they had the new uniform too.
+
+The teacher sees them and smiles. She says, "Tom and Jen, you are very alert. You noticed the new uniform. But you don't have to worry. It is only for a special day. Today, we are going to visit the fire station. The new uniform is to match the fire fighters. They wear green, black, and white to be safe and seen. Do you want to try the new uniform and see the fire station?"
+
+Tom and Jen nod. They are curious and excited. They change into the new uniform. They think they look like fire fighters. They join the other kids and the teacher. They go to the fire station. They see the big trucks, the hoses, and the helmets. They learn how the fire fighters help people and animals. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Tom and Jen are happy. They like the new uniform. They like to match the fire fighters. They think they are a team.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they decided to visit the zoo. They wanted to see the animals and hear their sounds.
+
+They got on the bus with their moms and went to the zoo. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants and more. They were very happy and excited. They saw a big sign that said "Zip Line". It was a long rope that you could slide on from one tree to another. It looked like fun.
+
+Anna and Ben asked their moms if they could try the zip line. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and wear helmets. They put on the helmets and waited for their turn. Anna went first. She held on to the rope and slid down. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She said "Whee! This is brilliant!"
+
+Ben saw Anna having fun and wanted to go too. He got on the rope and slid down. But he did not hold on tight enough. He let go of the rope and fell to the ground. He hit his head and his arm. He cried out loud. He was hurt and scared.
+
+Anna and their moms ran to Ben. They called for help. A man came with a big bag. He looked at Ben and said he had to go to the hospital. He put Ben on a stretcher and took him away. Anna and their moms followed him. They were sad and worried.
+
+The zoo was not fun anymore. They did not see any more animals. They did not hear any more sounds. They only wanted Ben to be okay. They hoped he would get better soon. They wished they had never tried the zip line. It was not brilliant. It was bad.
+One day, a little girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. But when she looked down, she saw a monster at the bottom. The monster had green skin, sharp teeth and yellow eyes. It growled and waved its claws at Mia.

+
+The monster nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But I don't know how." Mia's mom said, "Well, why don't you start by saying hello and smiling?" The monster did as she said and said, "Hello, Mia. I am sorry I scared you. Can I smile like this?" The monster showed its teeth and tried to make a smile. Mia saw that the monster was not mean, just lonely. She smiled back and said, "Hello, monster.

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. One day, they decide to build an igloo. They roll big balls of snow and stack them together. They make a hole for the door and a window. They are very proud of their igloo.
+
+"Look, we made a house of snow!" Anna says.
+
+"It is very smooth and white," Ben says.
+
+They crawl inside the igloo and pretend they are Eskimos. They wrap themselves in blankets and tell stories. They have fun.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a snowman. He is walking towards their igloo. He has a carrot nose, a hat, and a scarf. He looks funny.
+
+"Who are you?" Anna asks.
+
+"I am Sam, the snowman. I saw your igloo and I wanted to say hello," Sam says.
+
+"Hello, Sam. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, I love to play. What do you like to do?" Sam says.
+
+They tell Sam about their games and stories. They invite him to join them in the igloo. They laugh and talk. They have more fun.
+
+They are happy. They have a new friend. They like their igloo. They like the snow. They like each other.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They went to the hole and looked down. They saw something shiny. It was gold! They were very happy. They wanted to take the gold home.
+
+They tried to reach the gold, but it was too deep. They needed something to help them. They saw a rope near the hole. They thought it was a good idea.
+
+They tied the rope to a tree and threw the other end into the hole. They took turns to go down the rope and get the gold. They put the gold in their pockets.
+
+But they did not know that the rope belonged to a man who was working in the park. He was fixing a pipe under the ground. He needed the rope to get out.
+
+When he came back, he saw that his rope was gone. He was very angry. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. He was stuck in the dark.
+
+Tom and Sam heard the man's voice. They realized that they had taken his rope. They felt ashamed. They knew they had done something bad.
+
+They decided to give back the rope and the gold. They went to the hole and said sorry to the man. They threw the rope and the gold into the hole.
+
+The man was glad to see his rope and his gold. He thanked Tom and Sam for being honest. He told them that the gold was fake. It was only for decoration.
+
+Tom and Sam felt silly. They learned a lesson. They promised to never take things that were not theirs. They went home and played with their own toys.
+Sam and Lily were playing with their blocks. They made a big tower and a small house. They were happy and had fun.
+
+Ben was watching them from the corner. He wanted to play too, but he was shy and grumpy. He did not like to share or talk. He only had one block and he held it tight.
+
+"Ben, do you want to join us?" Sam asked. He smiled and waved at Ben. "We have many blocks and we can make more things."
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not want to join. He did not want to be nice. He threw his block at Sam and Lily's tower. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered.
+
+"Hey, why did you do that?" Lily cried. She was sad and angry. "That was not kind. That was mean."
+
+Ben did not say anything. He ran away to his room. He slammed the door and hid under his bed. He felt bad and lonely. He wished he had joined Sam and Lily. He wished he had friends. But he did not know how to say sorry yet.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises. Sometimes they fought over who had the best car or who won the race.
+
+One day, they saw a big car parked outside their house. It was shiny and red and had a siren on top. It was a police car. Ben and Sam were excited. They wanted to see the police car up close and touch it. They ran outside and opened the door of the car.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He climbed into the driver's seat and pressed some buttons. The siren started to wail and the lights flashed. Sam followed him and sat in the passenger seat. He grabbed the radio and pretended to talk to other police officers.
+
+"Stop, stop, you are under arrest!" Sam said.
+
+They laughed and had fun. They did not see the police officer who came out of their house. He had been talking to their mom about something. He saw the boys in his car and was angry. He ran to the car and opened the door.
+
+"What are you doing in my car?" he shouted. "Get out of there right now!"
+
+Ben and Sam were scared. They jumped out of the car and tried to run away. But the police officer caught them and held them by their arms.
+
+"You are in big trouble, boys," he said. "You can't just play with a police car. It is not a toy. It is for serious work. You could have broken something or caused an accident. You are lucky I don't take you to jail."
+
+He took them to their mom and told her what they did. Their mom was also angry. She apologized to the police officer and thanked him for being nice. She took Ben and Sam inside and told them to go to their room. They had to remain there until dinner. They could not play with their cars or anything else. They had to think about what they did and say sorry.
+
+Ben and Sam felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They wished they had not played with the police car. They learned their lesson. They decided to respect other people's things and not touch them without asking. They also decided to be more careful and not do dangerous things. They said sorry to their mom and the police officer. They hoped they would forgive them. They promised to be good boys from then on.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like to share. One morning, they have toast for breakfast. Mom gives them each a slice of toast with butter and jam.
+
+Tim wants to have Sam's toast too. He thinks his toast is too small and Sam's toast is bigger. He tries to grab Sam's toast from his plate. Sam says, "No, Tim! This is my toast. You have your own toast. Go away!"
+
+Tim does not listen. He pulls Sam's toast hard. Sam pulls back. They tug and tug. The toast breaks in half. The butter and jam fall on the floor. The toast is dirty and yucky.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Tim and Sam, you are very stupid. You wasted good food. You made a big mess. You have to clean it up. And you have no more toast. You have to eat cereal instead."
+
+Tim and Sam are sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We are sorry. We will not fight over toast again. We will share and be nice."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. Now, hurry up and eat your cereal. And then, help me clean the floor. And then, say sorry to each other. And then, maybe, you can play with your cars and balls."
+Tommy had a new friend at school. His name was Sam. Tommy wanted to introduce Sam to his blanket. His blanket was soft and blue and had stars on it. Tommy loved his blanket very much.
+
+But when Tommy showed his blanket to Sam, Sam did not like it. He said it was silly and babyish. He grabbed the blanket from Tommy and threw it on the floor. Tommy was very sad and angry. He tried to get his blanket back, but Sam was bigger and stronger.
+
+Tommy started to cry. He cried very loud. The teacher heard him and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sam holding Tommy's blanket and Tommy crying on the floor. She was not happy. She scolded Sam and took the blanket from him. She gave the blanket back to Tommy and hugged him.
+
+She told Sam to say sorry to Tommy and to share nicely. But Sam did not say sorry. He said he did not want to be Tommy's friend. He said Tommy was a crybaby and a loser. He walked away and joined another group of kids.
+
+Tommy felt very hurt and lonely. He did not want to play with anyone else. He just wanted his blanket and his friend. But he had no friend. He had only his blanket. He wished he had never introduced Sam to his blanket. He wished he had kept it to himself. He wished he had a different friend. He wished he had a happy ending. But he did not. He had a bad ending.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big black dog. The dog is sad. He has no home and no food. Lily and Tom want to help the dog.
+
+They bring the dog some bread and water. They pet the dog and talk to him. The dog wags his tail. He likes Lily and Tom. They make his heart happy.
+
+Lily and Tom ask their moms if they can keep the dog. Their moms say yes, but they have to take good care of him. They name the dog Max. They give him a bath, a collar and a bed. They teach him some tricks. They take him for walks and play with him.
+
+Max is not sad anymore. He has a home and food. He has friends. He loves Lily and Tom. They love him too. They have a big black dog with a big happy heart.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a hose. They liked to spray water on the flowers and on each other. They laughed and had fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a rainbow!" Tom said. He held the hose up to the sun and sprayed water in the air. Lily saw the colors and smiled. She wanted to try too.
+
+"Can I have the hose, Tom?" she asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He did not want to share. He sprayed water on Lily's face. Lily felt wet and cold. She did not like it.
+
+"Stop it, Tom! That's not good!" Lily said. She tried to take the hose from Tom. They pulled and pushed. The hose slipped from their hands. It fell on the ground.
+
+The water hit a bee hive. The bees were angry. They came out of the hive and buzzed around. They saw Lily and Tom and stung them. Lily and Tom cried and ran away. They had red bumps on their skin. They felt sore and itchy.
+
+They wished they had shared the hose and played nicely. They learned a hard lesson. They were not in wonder anymore. They were in trouble.
+Lily liked summer. Summer was hot and sunny. She could play outside with her friends. She could swim in the pool. She could eat ice cream. Summer was fun.
+
+But summer was also close to ending. Lily saw the leaves change color. She felt the air get colder. She heard the school bell ring. She had to go back to school. School was not fun. School was hard and boring. She had to learn new things. She had to sit still. She had to wear regular clothes.
+
+Lily did not want summer to end. She wanted to stay home and play. She wanted to wear her swimsuit and flip-flops. She wanted to eat ice cream every day. She did not want to wear regular clothes. She did not like regular clothes. Regular clothes were plain and tight. They made her itch and sweat.
+
+One morning, Lily had an idea. She decided to hide her regular clothes. She put them under her bed. She put them in her closet. She put them in her toy box. She thought her mom would not find them. She thought she could wear her swimsuit and flip-flops to school. She thought she could make summer last longer.
+
+But Lily was wrong. Her mom found her regular clothes. Her mom was not happy. She told Lily to put on her regular clothes. She told Lily to go to school. She told Lily that summer was over. She told Lily that she had to grow up.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to grow up. She wanted to be a kid. She wanted to have fun. She wanted to have summer. She cried and cried. She did not want to wear regular clothes. She did not want to go to school. She did not want to close summer.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the farm. They had many friends, like the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. But their favorite friends were the sheep. The sheep were soft and white, and they made funny noises.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily decided to play hide and seek with the sheep. They took turns counting and hiding behind the trees, the barn, and the fence. The sheep were good at hiding, but Tim and Lily were good at finding. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Tim was counting, and Lily was hiding. She saw a big hole in the fence, and thought it was a good place to hide. She crawled through the hole, and found herself in a dark and scary place. It was the woods, where the wolves lived.
+
+Lily was frightened. She wanted to go back, but she did not know how. She heard a loud howl, and saw a big, gray wolf coming towards her. She screamed for help.
+
+Tim heard Lily's scream, and ran to the fence. He saw the hole, and the wolf. He was scared, too, but he loved his sister. He grabbed a stick, and ran through the hole. He shouted at the wolf, and waved the stick. The wolf was surprised, and stopped. Tim and Lily ran back to the fence, and climbed through the hole. They were safe.
+
+The sheep heard the noise, and came to see what was wrong. They saw Tim and Lily, and they were happy. They baaed and licked them, and made them feel better. Tim and Lily hugged the sheep, and thanked them. They learned a lesson. They would never go to the woods again. They would stay close to the sheep, and the farm. They were happy.
+Lily and Sam liked to do walks in the woods with their dad. They saw many things, like birds, flowers, and bugs. One day, they saw a sign that said "High Trail". Lily wanted to go there, but Sam was scared.
+
+"Let's go, Sam! It will be fun!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily. It is too high. We might fall. Dad, can we do another trail?" Sam said.
+
+Dad looked at the sign and smiled. He had a plan. "How about this? We can do the High Trail, but only if you hold my hand. And I have a surprise for you at the end. Do you trust me?" he said.
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They liked surprises. They held Dad's hand and followed the High Trail. It was steep and rocky, but they did not fall. They saw more things, like squirrels, mushrooms, and a stream. They also saw a big hill ahead.
+
+"Is that the end, Dad?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, it is. Are you ready for the surprise?" Dad said.
+
+They climbed the hill and reached the top. They gasped. They saw a beautiful lake, with ducks, fish, and a boat. The sun was shining and the water was sparkling.
+
+"Wow! It is so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we go on the boat, Dad?" Sam said.
+
+"Of course we can. That is the surprise. I rented the boat for us. We can do a picnic and feed the ducks. Do you like it?" Dad said.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged Dad. They were very happy. They did the High Trail and got a wonderful surprise. They learned that sometimes, doing things that are scary can be fun. They thanked Dad and ran to the boat. They had a great day.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They share a room. Sam likes to wake up early and play with his toys. Mia likes to sleep late and cuddle with her teddy.
+
+One morning, Sam's alarm goes off. It makes a loud noise. Beep beep beep! Sam jumps out of bed and turns it off. He is happy. He wants to play.
+
+He looks at Mia. She is still sleeping. She does not hear the alarm. Sam thinks he can play quietly. He does not want to wake her up. He does not want to mind her.
+
+He takes out his cars and his blocks. He makes a road and a bridge. He zooms his cars on the road. He makes engine sounds. Vroom vroom vroom!
+
+Mia hears the noise. She opens her eyes. She sees Sam playing. She sees the toys all over the floor. She is angry. She does not like the noise. She does not like the mess.
+
+She shouts at Sam. "Sam, stop it! You are too loud! You are too messy! You woke me up! You mind me!"
+
+Sam stops playing. He looks at Mia. He is sad. He does not want to make her angry. He does not want to mind her.
+
+He says sorry to Mia. "Mia, I am sorry. I did not mean to wake you up. I did not mean to mind you. I just wanted to play. Can we play together?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She is still sleepy. She is still grumpy. But she loves Sam. He is her twin. She does not want to mind him.
+
+She says okay to Sam. "Sam, it is okay. I am sorry too. I did not mean to shout at you. I do not mind you. I love you. We can play together. But first, let's clean up the mess."
+
+Sam and Mia hug each other. They are happy. They do not mind each other. They clean up the toys. Then they play together. They share the cars and the blocks. They make a bigger road and a bigger bridge. They have fun. They are twins.
+"Mommy, what's that?" asked the small child, pointing to the strange looking thing on Daddy's face. 
+
+"It's a mustache, my dear," Daddy said, proudly running his fingertips across the top. "You see, when a man gets older, he can grow one of these on his face. See, I'm getting older so I'm starting to have a mustache."
+
+The little girl's eyebrows scrunched up in wonder as she considered the strange new item on Daddy's face. "Does it shine, Daddy?" 
+
+Daddy's mouth twitched as he smiled. "Not right now, sweetheart. But, if I brush it out every morning, it will shine like the sun. Would you like to help me do that?" 
+
+The little girl's eyes widened in excitement and she clapped her tiny hands together. "Yes!"
+
+Every morning after that, the little girl wake up early and help Daddy brush out his mustache. Daddy's face glowed from the warmth of sunshine as their soft bristles broke through the dry hairs of his mustache. 
+
+The little girl loved helping Daddy, and over time she even grew her own small mustache. Daddy was so proud of her and together they shined brighter than ever.

+One cold winter day, Tom was playing outside with his friends. It was so cold his teeth began to chatter and his body started to shiver. Tom wished he was back at home curled up in his bed with his warm blanket. He decided to go home, but as he started to leave he noticed something. His thumb was cold to the touch, and it felt stiff like something was wrong. Tom slowly made his way home, but he felt more and more afraid with each step he took. After what felt like forever, he finally arrived home. He mom opened the door and saw him standing there. 
+
+"What's wrong, Tom?" she asked. 
+
+Tom told her about his thumb. His mother gently grabbed it and told Tom to take off his coat. As Tom peeled off his coat, his mom gasped. On his thumb was a big, spoiled spot. Tom's mom told him it was frostbite and it happens when a person stays out in the cold for too long. She quickly helped him warm up and thanked her lucky stars that Tom was ok. 
+
+Since then, Tom never forgets about bringing a coat on cold winter days. He also reminds his friends to do the same. Now that Tom knows the danger of the cold from this experience, he will never take his warm blanket for granted again.
