Grandpa explained that all they had to do was to tie the paper kite to a tree. Then, when the wind was just right, the kite would start to fly! + +And sure enough, it worked! The paper kite blew up in the sky, carried by the wind. Bill and Lucy cheered and laughed. + +It was a perfect day spent with the grandparents! +Once upon a time, there lived a blue bird.

She missed playing at the park too. + +They both arrived at the park, which was empty except for one swing. + +Max went to the swing and said, "Let's swing here.

It was a spinning magnet. The family's children loved to watch the magnet spin. + +One day the family went to the park and their youngest, who was three years old, wanted to take the spinning magnet with them. The mom and dad said no, it was too special and only to be used in the house. + +The little girl started crying. Through her tears, she asked her parents why they wouldn't let her bring her beloved toy. + +The mom said, "My sweet child, it is important to understand that some things are too special to give away. If we share the spinning magnet too easily, it will no longer be a special toy. It is important that we keep special things close to our hearts." + +The little girl nodded and hugged her parents.

She and Mum played together, making shapes out of the paper until the sun began to set. Lia realised that she had had fun even though she hadn’t followed the trail. + +The moral of this story is that it’s important to listen to your parents, even if it means not getting what you want. Sometimes, it’s safer to stay with your parents and have fun with them, than go somewhere that could be dangerous. +Once upon a time there was a teacher who wanted to use something fancy to teach her students.

My boot is mine!" +The nosy lady persisted and said, "I want to measure it, I need to know the size!" +But Joe was clever and knew that the nosy lady did not need to measure the boot, so he told her that it was too small for her. +She smiled and said, "Then perhaps, I will measure your arm instead!" +Joe quickly did not like this idea and quickly said, "No! My arm is mine too!" +The nosy lady gave in and left without measuring anything. +Joe was happy that he kept his arm to himself. +Once upon a time, there was a large boat.

You don't want to touch that." + +"Yuck, that's gross," Tim says. "Why do you have a horse that is rotting?" + +"Well, the horse belongs to Mr. Jones, who lives next door. He can't take care of him anymore, so he asked me to keep him in the stable until he finds a new home for him. I'm trying to help him, but I don't think he will get better. He is too old and weak." + +"That's sad," Kim says. "Can we give him some water and hay? Maybe that will make him feel better." + +"Sure, you can do that," Dad says. "But don't get too close to his sore. And wash your hands after you pet him. Come on, I'll show you where the water and hay are." + +Tim and Kim follow Dad to the stable.

He saw trees and hills and cows. He was bored. He wished they were there already. + +They drove and drove and drove. Then they saw a big sign that said "Safari Park".

"We'll lose our spot in the line. We have to be patient." + +Lily and Sam were not happy. They started to cry. They did not want to be patient. They wanted to see the animals. + +"Stop crying, you two," Mom said. "You're making a scene. Everyone is looking at us." + +"Who cares?" Sam said. "This is boring. I want to go home." + +"Me too," Lily said. + +They cried louder and louder. They made a lot of noise. They did not listen to Mom and Dad. They did not care about the safari. + +Then something bad happened. A man in a uniform came over to them. He had a walkie-talkie and a whistle. He looked angry. + +"Excuse me, sir and ma'am," he said. "You have to leave the park. Your children are disturbing the other visitors and the animals. They are not allowed to be here." + +"What? That's not fair!" Dad said. + +"We've been waiting for hours!" Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, but those are the rules," the man said. "You have to go. Now." + +He blew his whistle and pointed to the gate. He called for security. He did not care that Lily and Sam were only three years old. He did not care that they were worried and hungry and tired. He did not care that they wanted to see the animals. + +He made them leave the park. He made them get in their car. He made them drive away. + +Lily and Sam did not see the lions and elephants and giraffes. They did not have a regular safari. They had a bad safari. They had a very bad day. +Lily and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they are bored. They want to do something new and fun. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily says. "I have an idea. Let's pick some stickers and put them on the ceiling. Then we can pretend they are stars and planets." + +"OK, Lily. That sounds great. I like stickers. I have some blue ones and some red ones. What do you have?" Ben says. + +"I have some yellow ones and some green ones. And some with animals and flowers. Let's mix them up and make a colorful ceiling." Lily says. + +They get a chair and a stool and climb on them. They reach for the ceiling and stick their stickers on it. They make patterns and shapes and words. They have fun and laugh. + +"Wow, Lily. Our ceiling looks great. It is like a big painting. We are very good at this." Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben. Our ceiling is great. It is like a big sky. We are very creative." Lily says. + +They look at their ceiling and smile. They are happy and proud. They have made something new and fun. +Sam and Lily like to play with rope. They make shapes and knots and swings with rope. One day, they find a big rope in the park. It is tied to a tree and hangs down to the ground. + +"Wow, look at this rope!" Sam says. "Let's swing on it!" + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily says. "It looks old and dirty." + +Sam and Lily take turns to swing on the rope. They feel happy and free. They laugh and shout as they fly in the air. + +But then, something bad happens. The rope breaks! Sam is swinging on the rope when it snaps. He drops to the ground with a thud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cries. He hurts his arm and his leg. He feels scared and sad. + +Lily runs to Sam and hugs him. She tries to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. Are you OK?" Lily says. + +"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot." Sam says. + +"Don't worry, Sam. I'll get help. You stay here." Lily says. + +Lily runs to find a grown-up. She sees a man with a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger.

She hopes he will get better soon. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I wish we didn't swing on that rope." She says. + +"It's OK, Lily. It was fun while it lasted. But next time, let's play with our own rope.

He only gave them a little grass and water, and he never let them play or rest. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy.

She said, "Can I keep one triangle, mom? Just one?" + +Mom said, "No, Lily, you can't keep any triangles on the couch. They will make it dirty and smelly. You have to clean them all." + +Lily sighed. She knew mom was right. She took the cloth and the soap and started to clean the couch. She wiped away the triangle. She wiped away the color. She wiped away the fun. + +She looked at the couch.

Even if you love triangles too much." + +They hugged. They laughed. They cleaned. They drew. They had fun. +Lila liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Daisy.

He walks to the box and says, "I found you!" + +But when he looks inside, he sees a big spider. He screams and runs away. Lily is not in the box. She is clever. She hid under the stair, where Tom did not look. She hears Tom scream and laughs. + +"Tom, are you okay?" she asks, as she comes out of her hiding spot. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Tom says, as he rubs his head. "But there was a big spider in the box. It scared me." + +"I know," Lily says, with a smile. "I saw the spider before. That's why I did not hide in the box. I hid under the stair. It was a good place to hide." + +Tom looks at Lily and nods. He thinks she is very clever. He says, "You win, Lily. You are the best at hide and seek." + +Lily hugs Tom and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. But next time, let's not play in the basement. There are too many spiders there." + +Tom agrees. They go back upstairs and play with their toys.

The doctor is a kind woman who smiles at Ben. She asks him his name and how he is feeling. She looks at his bean hat and says, "That is a very interesting hat, Ben. But you know, sometimes it is better to wear a serious hat, especially when you are visiting people who are not feeling well. A serious hat shows that you care about them and respect them. A funny hat might make them feel worse, or think that you are making fun of them. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods slowly. He feels ashamed of his bean hat. He realizes that he was not being kind or funny, but rude and silly. He says sorry to the doctor and to the people in the waiting room. He takes off his bean hat and puts on a serious hat that his mom gives him. He learns that there is a time and a place for everything, and that he should think of others before himself. He decides to save his funny hats for when he is playing with his friends, and to wear serious hats when he is meeting serious people. He feels happier and wiser. +Lily and Tom like to play sport.

Mom asks. + +"We wanted to play with the ball," Lily says. + +"But the ball was too high," Tom says. + +"You should not play with things that are too high," Mom says. "You could get hurt or break something. You should ask me or Dad before you touch anything that is not yours. That is not a good way to play sport. That is a bad way to play sport." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. Mom hugs them and takes them to the doctor. The doctor gives them bandages and medicine.

She wanted the teddy bear. She said, "No! I want it! It is mine!" Mum and Dad said, "No, it is not. You are being very spoiled. You have to learn to share and be polite. You have to say sorry or we will not go on the holiday." + +Lily did not like that. She did not want to miss the holiday. She wanted to see the beach and the sea and the sand. She wanted to play with Ben and have fun. She looked at the lady and the teddy bear. She felt sorry. She said, "Sorry, lady. I was bad.

They have to go to the hospital and get stitches and shots. They have pain and fever and infection. They miss their mom and dad and their toys and their bed. They are sad and angry and afraid. They don't want to play in the park anymore. They don't like the dog. They don't like the lady. They don't like the leaves and sticks. They don't like anything. The end. +Lily and Ben like to play in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They make a big hill with the sand. They put the bucket on top of the hill.

He said, "What happened here? Why did you break the trumpet?" + +Tommy and Lily both said, "It was his/her fault. He/she was selfish." + +Grandpa shook his head. He said, "You both were selfish.

You have to wait until Mom comes back from the store," Mia said. + +"But I want to play now!" Tim whined. He looked around and saw a remote control on the couch. He had an idea. He ran to the couch and grabbed the remote. He opened the back and took out two batteries. + +"Tim, what are you doing? That's Dad's remote. He needs it for the TV," Mia said. + +"I don't care. I need these batteries for my car," Tim said. He put the batteries in his car and turned it on. It zoomed again. + +"Yay! It works!" Tim cheered. + +Mia was angry. She tried to take the remote back from Tim, but he held it tight. They started to pull and tug on it. + +"Give it back, Tim! You're being selfish!" Mia shouted. + +"No, I need it! You're being mean!" Tim shouted back. + +They were so loud that they did not hear the door open. Dad came in from work. He saw them fighting over the remote. He was not happy. + +"What's going on here? Why are you making so much noise?" he asked. + +Tim and Mia stopped and looked at Dad. They saw his face was pale and his eyes were stern. They knew they were in trouble. + +They tried to explain, but Dad did not listen. He took the remote and the batteries from them. He put them back where they belonged.

They wished they had not taken the batteries from the remote. They wished they had shared and played nicely. They learned a lesson that day. They discovered that being greedy and selfish was not fun.

Instead of listening to his warning, Jack and Rose started to get closer and closer to the bear. + +The bear was so angry, so he chased them away.

"We can eat a lot of food. Then we will be heavy. Then we can pull the balloon down." + +"That sounds fun," Ben says. "Let's go to the shop and buy some food." + +They run to the shop. They buy some bread, cheese, apples, cookies, and juice. They eat and eat and eat. They feel their tummies grow. + +"Are we heavy enough?"

Now it's my turn!" + +Ben jumped on the log and walked faster and faster. He wanted to show off and make Lily laugh. He made funny faces and noises as he balanced on the log. He said, "Look at me, Lily! I'm a monkey! Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Lily giggled and said, "You're silly, Ben! Be careful!" + +But Ben was not careful. He was too busy making jokes. He did not see the duck that was swimming in the pond. The duck was tired of Ben's noise and decided to teach him a lesson. The duck swam under the log and pecked it hard. The log shook and Ben lost his balance. He fell off the log and splashed into the water. Lily gasped and the duck quacked. + +Ben was wet and cold and scared. He cried and called for his mom and dad.

What happened?" + +Ben sniffed and said, "I was balancing on the log and making jokes. But then a duck bit the log and I fell in. It was not funny. It was mean." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I know you wanted to make me laugh. But maybe you should be more careful next time. And maybe the duck was just tired of your noise. Maybe he wanted some peace and quiet." + +Ben nodded and said, "You're right, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I was too loud and rude. I should have been more respectful of the duck and the pond. Maybe we can share the log with him next time. And maybe he will like my jokes better then." + +Lily smiled and said, "Maybe he will, Ben. Maybe he will."

He didn't want to listen to Mommy. He wanted to play more. He said, "Mommy won't know. And it's not that dark. Come on, Anna, don't be a baby." + +Anna felt sad. She didn't like it when Ben called her a baby. She wanted to make him happy. But she also knew that Mommy was right. She said, "No, Ben, we have to go. Mommy loves us and she knows what's best for us. And I love you, too, Ben. Please, come with me." + +Ben looked at Anna. He saw that she was cold and sleepy and sad. He felt sorry for being mean to her. He loved her, too. He said, "Okay, Anna, you're right. Let's go inside. I'm sorry for calling you a baby. You're a good sister." + +Anna smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You're a good brother." + +They held hands and walked to the house. Mommy was waiting for them with warm milk and cookies.

Lily decided to name him Ted and make him her client. She told him he had to listen to her and do what she said, or he would go to jail. + +But Ted did not like to be bossy. He wanted to play and have fun. He did not want to sit still and listen to Lily's long speeches. He wanted to raise his paw and ask questions, or tell jokes, or sing songs. He tried to tell Lily, but she did not listen. She said he was a bad client and he had to be quiet. + +Ted was sad and bored. He wished he had a friend who would play with him and let him be himself. He looked around the room and saw a doll with a pink dress and a smile. She looked nice and friendly. He wondered if she would like to play with him. + +He waited until Lily was busy writing on a paper, and then he raised his paw and waved at the doll. The doll waved back and smiled.

They made loud noises and pretended to race each other. Ben had a red car and Mia had a blue car. + +"Beep beep! Move, Mia, move!" Ben shouted. He wanted to go faster and pass Mia. + +"No, Ben, no! You have to yield!" Mia said. She remembered that her mom taught her that word. It meant to let someone else go first when they were on the road. + +"Why do I have to yield?" Ben asked. He did not like that word. He wanted to win. + +"Because it is polite and safe," Mia said. "And because my car is bigger and stronger than yours." + +Ben did not agree. He thought his car was better and faster than Mia's. He did not want to yield. He wanted to prove Mia wrong. He pushed his car harder and tried to overtake Mia. + +But Mia did not let him. She pushed her car harder too and blocked Ben's way. Their cars bumped into each other and made a loud crash. They both fell off the floor and hurt their knees. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben and Mia cried.

They both wanted to be right. + +Mom listened to them and shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry you both got hurt, but you both made a mistake. You both did not yield. You both did not share. You both did not play nicely." + +Ben and Mia looked at each other. They realized that Mom was right. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Ben. We're sorry, Mia." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're sorry. But you have to learn to yield sometimes. It's not always about winning. It's about being kind and respectful. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They understood. They said, "We understand, Mom. We will try to yield more. We will try to play nicely." + +Mom kissed them and said, "That's good, my loves. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you pick up your cars and play again? But this time, be more careful and open. Open your eyes, open your ears, and open your hearts. That way, you can have more fun and make more happy memories." + +Ben and Mia smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. We will be more open. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They hugged Mom and picked up their cars. They played again, but this time, they yielded more, they shared more, and they played nicely.

She told them to wait in the kitchen while she went to get some milk. Lily and Tom were hungry and wanted the cake. They did not listen to their mom.

It was a big mess. Lily and Tom started to cry. + +Their mom came back and saw what they had done. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Lily and Tom, you did not behave well.

And you have to say sorry to me and to each other." + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry. They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They helped their mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They decided to behave well from then on and to share their toys and books and to respect their carpet. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. The hill was very high and steep. It was dangerous, but they did not know. + +"Let's go up the hill, Tom!" Lily said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Lily, but be careful!" Tom said. They started to climb the hill, holding hands. They went slowly and looked for rocks and grass to hold on to. + +But when they were almost at the top, Lily slipped and lost her grip. She screamed and started to fall down the hill. Tom was scared and tried to catch her, but he also fell. They rolled and bumped and cried. + +A lady who was walking her dog saw them and ran to help. She had a big wrap in her bag.

She said, "Look, Ben, the ducks are swimming. Can we swim too?" + +Ben was scared. He said, "No, Lily, we can't swim. The pond is deep and cold. We don't have swimsuits. We might get wet and sick. Let's play with the flowers instead." + +Lily saw a yellow flower. She said, "This is a daisy. It is pretty and easy to pick. Do you want a daisy, Ben?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, Lily, I want a daisy. Thank you." He took the flower from Lily and smiled. + +But then, a big dog came running. It saw the daisy in Ben's hand. It wanted to play with it. It barked and jumped on Ben. Ben dropped the daisy and cried. The dog took the daisy and ran away. + +Lily was angry. She said, "Bad dog! Give back our daisy! You are mean and rude!"

How can we get it back?" + +Ben came to Lily. He said, "Don't worry, Lily, we can find another daisy. There are many in the park. Come on, let's go." + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Ben, let's go.

You are very naughty." + +Tom and Anna felt sorry. They did not mean to be naughty. They did not know that the box was not for them. They said "We are sorry, mom. We thought it was a surprise for us. We did not see the sign. We like surprises. We like cake. We did not want to make you angry or sad." + +The mom sighed. She said "I understand. You are just kids. You like surprises and cake. But you should not open things that are not yours. You should ask first. You should respect other people's things. You should learn to share and be polite. That is the right thing to do." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said "You are right, mom. We should not open things that are not ours. We should ask first. We should respect other people's things.

She said it out loud and laughed. It sounded like a duck. She read the meaning of the word. It said "quack: the sound a duck makes". Lily liked that word. She learned something new. + +She looked for more words that sounded like animals. She found "moo", "woof", "meow" and "oink". She said them all and made the sounds. She had fun with the dictionary. She decided that it was not a dull book after all. It was a book of sounds. +Lily liked to play with her doll. She gave her doll a name, Anna, and a dress, pink. She talked to her doll and hugged her doll. She was happy with her doll. + +But Tom, her big brother, did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and balls. He thought dolls were silly and boring. He liked to tease Lily and her doll. He said, "Dolls are for babies. You are a baby, Lily. And your doll is ugly and dumb." + +Lily felt sad and angry when Tom teased her. She said, "No, Tom. You are wrong. Dolls are not for babies. They are for anyone who likes them. And I am not a baby. I am three. And my doll is not ugly and dumb. She is pretty and smart. She knows many things. She can sing and count and spell." + +Tom laughed and said, "Oh, yeah? Let me hear your doll sing and count and spell. I bet she can't do anything. She is just a toy. A stupid toy." + +Lily did not want to let Tom make fun of her doll. She wanted to show him that her doll was smart. She held her doll close and whispered in her ear. Then she said, "Okay, Tom. Listen to my doll. She will sing and count and spell for you. But you have to be nice and quiet. Or she will not talk to you." + +Tom rolled his eyes and said, "Fine. Let's hear it. But I don't believe you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Anna, can you sing for Tom?" Then she moved her doll's mouth and made her voice high and sweet. She sang, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky." + +Tom was surprised. He did not know that Lily could sing so well. He said, "Wow, that was good. But that was you, not your doll. You are just pretending." + +Lily said, "No, Tom. That was Anna. She can sing. And she can count, too. Anna, can you count for Tom?" Then she moved her doll's fingers and made her voice low and clear. She said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +Tom was more surprised. He did not know that Lily could count so well. He said, "Wow, that was good, too. But that was you, not your doll. You are just pretending." + +Lily said, "No, Tom. That was Anna. She can count. And she can spell, too. Anna, can you spell for Tom?" Then she moved her doll's head and made her voice soft and cute. She said, "D-O-L-L, doll. L-I-L-Y, Lily. T-O-M, Tom." + +Tom was very surprised. He did not know that Lily could spell so well. He said, "Wow, that was amazing. But that was you, not your doll. You are just pretending." + +Lily said, "No, Tom. That was Anna. She can spell. And she can do many other things, too. She is smart. And she is my friend. And I love her. And you should not tease her. Or me. Or anyone. Because that is not nice. And it hurts." + +Tom felt ashamed. He realized that he was wrong. He had been mean to Lily and her doll. He had not seen how smart and talented and kind they were. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Anna. You are right. You are smart. And you are not babies. And your doll is not ugly and dumb. She is pretty and smart. And you are both my friends. And I love you. And I will not tease you. Or anyone. Because that is not nice. And it hurts." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. I'm glad you are sorry. And I'm glad you are nice. And you are smart, too. And you are not silly and boring. You are fun and cool. And you are my brother. And I love you. And I will not tease you. Or anyone. Because that is not nice. And it hurts." + +Then Lily and Tom hugged each other and their doll. And they played together with their toys. And they were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail the seas and look for treasure. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Ben shouted. "I see another ship ahead. It's the enemy!" + +"Let's attack them!" Lily said. She waved her sword and ran towards the box. + +But when they got closer, they saw that the other ship was really their dad, who was lying on the grass and reading a book. He looked up and smiled. + +"Hello, pirates!" he said. "Do you want to join my crew?" + +"No, never!" Ben said. "You are the bad guy. We will make you surrender!" + +He tried to poke his dad with his stick, but his dad grabbed his arm and tickled him. Ben laughed and squirmed. + +"Stop, stop!" he said. "You are too strong!" + +Lily came to help him, but their dad caught her too and tickled her. She giggled and wriggled. + +"Please, please!" she said. "You are too tickly!" + +Their dad hugged them and kissed them. + +"OK, OK," he said. "You win, pirates. You are very brave and clever. But can we be friends now?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked their dad. He was cool and funny. + +"Sure, dad," Ben said. "We can be friends. But can we still play pirates?" + +"Of course," their dad said. "But first, how about some juice and cookies?" + +They agreed. They left their ship and followed their dad to the kitchen. They were happy pirates. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to build things with lumber. They had a big pile of lumber in their backyard that their dad gave them. They used the lumber to make forts, bridges, and cars. + +One day, Tim had an idea. He wanted to make a big tower with the lumber. He told Sam to help him. Sam did not want to help. He wanted to make a boat with the lumber. He said to Tim, "No, I will not help you. I want to make a boat. You can make your tower by yourself." + +Tim was angry. He said to Sam, "You are bad. You have to do what I say. I am older than you. I order you to help me." Sam was angry too. He said to Tim, "You are bad. You are bossy. You cannot order me. I can do what I want." They started to fight. They pushed and pulled and hit each other. + +While they were fighting, they did not see the big dog that came into their backyard. The dog was hungry and curious. He saw the pile of lumber and smelled the brothers. He ran to the pile and started to bite and chew the lumber. He made a big mess. He broke the lumber into pieces. He scattered the lumber all over the yard. + +Tim and Sam stopped fighting when they heard the dog. They turned and saw the dog and the lumber. They were shocked and scared. They ran to the house and shouted for their dad. Their dad came out and saw the dog and the lumber. He was angry and sad. He said to Tim and Sam, "What have you done? You wasted the lumber. You fought with each other. You let the dog in. You are bad. You are in trouble." He chased the dog away and took Tim and Sam inside. He gave them a time out and no dessert. Tim and Sam cried and said sorry. But it was too late. They had no lumber, no tower, no boat, and no fun. They had a bad day. The end. +Sara and Ben liked to play on the beach. They liked to find shells and stones and make things with them. One day, they found a big oyster shell. It was shiny and smooth. + +"Look, Ben, I have an idea!" Sara said. "Let's create a necklace with this oyster shell. We can use this string and these beads." + +"OK, Sara, that sounds fun!" Ben said. They started to create the necklace. Sara put the string through the hole in the oyster shell. Ben added the beads. + +But then, a big wave came and washed away their necklace. The oyster shell and the beads were gone. Sara and Ben were very sad. + +"Hey, that was our necklace!" Sara shouted. "Give it back, wave!" + +The wave did not give it back. It just made a loud noise and splashed them. Sara and Ben were angry. They stomped their feet and cried. + +"Bad wave, bad wave!" Ben yelled. + +Then, they saw a man walking on the beach. He had a big bucket and a net. He was looking for oysters. + +"Hello, children," the man said. "Are you having fun?" + +"No, we are not having fun!" Sara said. "The wave took our necklace. It was made with an oyster shell and beads. It was very pretty." + +"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," the man said. "That was a very creative thing to do. But you know, oysters are not just for making necklaces. They are also very tasty. Do you want to try one?" + +Sara and Ben looked at the man. They had never eaten an oyster before. They were curious. + +"OK, we will try one," Sara said. + +The man opened an oyster and gave them each a piece. Sara and Ben tasted it. It was salty and slimy. + +"Yuck!" Sara and Ben said. "We don't like oysters!" + +They spit out the oyster and made a face. The man laughed. + +"Well, I guess oysters are not for everyone," he said. "But don't worry, there are many other things to enjoy on the beach. Look, there are some seagulls and crabs. Why don't you go and play with them?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They decided to forget about the necklace and the oyster. They ran to the seagulls and the crabs. They had fun again. They were not angry anymore. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the forest. The forest has many trees and animals. Lily and Ben see a cute bird on a branch. The bird is blue and yellow. It sings a happy song. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily says. "You are so pretty. What is your name?" + +The bird says, "My name is Coco. I live in the forest. But the forest is in danger. Some bad people want to cut down the trees. They have big machines and loud noises. They scare me and my friends." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They love the forest and the animals. They want to help Coco and the other birds. + +"What can we do?" Ben asks. "We are only small. The bad people are big and strong." + +Coco says, "You can save the forest. You can tell other people to stop the bad people. You can make signs and posters. You can say, 'Save the forest! Save the animals!' You can be brave and loud." + +Lily and Ben nod. They have an idea. They run to their homes. They get paper and crayons. They make signs and posters. They write, 'Save the forest! Save the animals!' They draw pictures of Coco and the other birds. They go back to the forest. They show their signs and posters to the bad people. They say, 'Save the forest! Save the animals!' They are brave and loud. + +The bad people are surprised. They see Lily and Ben. They see their signs and posters. They see Coco and the other birds. They hear their voices. They feel sorry. They stop their machines and noises. They say, 'We are sorry. We did not know. We will not cut down the trees. We will leave the forest alone.' + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Coco and the other birds. They say, 'Thank you for telling us. You are our friends. We will protect the forest and the animals.' + +Coco and the other birds are happy. They sing a happy song. They say, 'Thank you for saving us. You are our heroes. We will always remember you.' +Sara was very hungry. She wanted to eat some bread and cheese. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. But the fridge was empty. There was no bread and no cheese. + +Sara was sad. She saw a big yellow balloon on the table. She liked balloons. She took the balloon and played with it. She threw it up and caught it. She made it bounce on the floor. She had fun. + +Then she heard her mom's voice. "Sara, where are you?" Mom asked. "I'm in the kitchen, Mom," Sara said. She ran to the door with the balloon. + +Mom came in with a big bag. "I'm sorry, Sara. I had to go to the store. There was no food in the fridge. But now I have some bread and cheese and fruit and juice. Do you want some?" Mom said. + +"Yes, please, Mom. I'm very hungry," Sara said. She smiled. She was happy. She wanted to give Mom a hug. But she still had the balloon in her hand. She did not want to let go of the balloon. She liked the balloon. + +"Can I keep the balloon, Mom?" Sara asked. "Of course, Sara. You can keep the balloon. But you have to release it first. Then you can hug me and eat some food," Mom said. + +Sara nodded. She looked at the balloon. She said, "Bye, balloon. Thank you for playing with me." She released the balloon. The balloon flew up to the ceiling. Sara hugged Mom. Mom hugged Sara. They went to the table. There was a lot of food available. Sara ate some bread and cheese and fruit and juice. She was full. She was happy. She loved Mom. Mom loved Sara. They were happy. +Lily liked to learn new things. She had a tutor who came to her house every week. The tutor helped her with reading, writing and counting. Lily was happy when the tutor came. + +One day, Lily's mom told her to tidy her room before the tutor arrived. Lily did not want to tidy her room. She wanted to play with her toys and books. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to tidy my room. It is fine as it is." + +Mom said, "Lily, you have to tidy your room. It is not nice to let the tutor see your mess. The tutor works hard to teach you. You should be respectful and grateful. If you tidy your room, I will let you have a snack after the lesson." + +Lily thought about it. She liked snacks. She also liked the tutor. She did not want to make the tutor sad or angry. She said, "Okay, mom, I will tidy my room. But can you help me a little?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily, I will help you a little. But you have to do most of the work. It is your room, after all." + +Lily and mom worked together to tidy Lily's room. They put the toys and books in their places. They made the bed and dusted the shelves. They threw away the trash and swept the floor. When they were done, Lily's room looked clean and neat. + +Lily felt proud of her room. She said, "Mom, look, my room is so tidy. I think the tutor will like it." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I am proud of you, Lily. You did a good job. You learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that it is important to be tidy and respectful. You also learned that it is easier to do things when you let someone help you. I love you, Lily." + +Lily said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for helping me. And thank you for letting me have a snack." + +Mom and Lily went to the kitchen to have a snack. They waited for the tutor to come. Lily was excited to learn new things. She was also happy to show the tutor her tidy room. +Lily and Ben like to play with the toys in the big room. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. But they are not allowed to touch the files on the desk. The files are for Mom and Dad, who work on the computer. + +One day, Lily and Ben are bored with the toys. They see the files on the desk. They look shiny and colorful. Lily says, "Let's play with the files. They look fun." + +Ben says, "No, we can't. Mom and Dad said no. They will be angry if we touch them." + +Lily says, "But they are not here. They are in the kitchen. They will not know. Come on, it will be fun." + +Lily takes a file and opens it. She sees papers with words and pictures. She does not understand them. She throws them on the floor. She takes another file and does the same. Ben watches her. He feels scared. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to the big room. They see the files and the papers on the floor. They see Lily and Ben. They are very angry. + +Mom says, "What did you do? Why did you touch the files? You know you are not permitted to touch them. They are important for our work. You made a big mess." + +Dad says, "You are very naughty. You did not listen to us. You have to say sorry and help us clean up. You have to learn to be good and respect our things." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They help them pick up the papers and put them back in the files. They promise to never touch the files again. They hug Mom and Dad and say they love them. Mom and Dad hug them back and say they love them too. They say they are still good children, but they have to be more careful. They give them a kiss and let them play with the toys again. +Tommy was very happy. It was Christmas Eve and he had a big white tree in his living room. The tree had many lights and balls and stars. On the top of the tree, there was a white angel. The angel had wings and a smile. Tommy liked the angel very much. + +"Can I touch the angel, Mommy?" Tommy asked. + +"No, Tommy, you can't. The angel is very high and you might fall. And the angel is very fragile and you might break it. The angel is for looking, not for touching." Mommy said. + +"But I want to touch the angel, Mommy. I want to see if it is soft and warm. I want to shake its hand and say hello." Tommy said. + +"Sorry, Tommy, you have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe Santa will bring you a toy angel that you can play with. Now, go to bed and sleep tight. I love you." Mommy said. + +Tommy was not happy. He did not want to wait until tomorrow. He wanted to touch the angel now. He waited until Mommy went to the kitchen. Then he climbed on a chair and reached for the angel. He grabbed the angel and pulled it down. He felt the angel in his hands. It was not soft and warm. It was hard and cold. He tried to shake its hand, but the hand broke off. He heard a loud crack. He looked at the angel. It was not smiling. It was broken. + +Tommy was very scared. He dropped the angel on the floor. He heard another loud crack. He saw the angel in pieces. He saw Mommy coming back. He saw Mommy's face. It was not smiling. It was angry. + +"Tommy, what have you done? You broke the angel! You ruined the tree! You disobeyed me! You are a very naughty boy!" Mommy said. + +Tommy started to cry. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not. He felt very bad. He wished he had listened to Mommy. He wished he had not touched the angel. He wished he had a good ending. But he did not. He had a bad ending. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big green thing on the table. It is an avocado. + +"What is this?" Lila asks. + +"It is an avocado," Ben says. "Mommy likes to eat it. She says it is good for her hair." + +Lila and Ben look at each other. They both have curly brown hair. Mommy has no hair. She is bald. + +"Maybe we should eat it too," Lila says. "Then we can have more hair." + +"OK," Ben says. "But how do we eat it?" + +They pick up the avocado and try to bite it. But it is hard and bitter. They make faces and spit it out. + +"Yuck!" Lila says. "This is not good. This is bad." + +"Maybe we need to open it," Ben says. "Maybe there is something good inside." + +They look for a knife. But they cannot find one. They see a spoon. They try to use the spoon to cut the avocado. But it is too soft and bendy. They cannot cut it. + +"This is too hard," Ben says. "I give up. I don't want this avocado." + +"Me neither," Lila says. "Let's go play with our toys." + +They leave the avocado on the table. They go to their room. They forget about the avocado. + +Mommy comes home. She sees the avocado on the table. It has teeth marks and spoon marks. She smiles. She knows who did it. + +She goes to their room. She sees Lila and Ben playing with their toys. They have curly brown hair. She has no hair. She is bald. + +She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I love you, my little avocados." +Sara and Ben were playing with snow in the garden. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Sara said. + +"Yes, he is!" Ben agreed. + +But then the sun came out and it was very warm. The snow started to melt. The snowman's hat and scarf fell off. His carrot nose dropped to the ground. His eyes and mouth became smaller and smaller. + +"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Sara cried. + +"We have to save him!" Ben said. + +They ran to the house and got a big cut from the kitchen. They wanted to cut some ice from the freezer and put it on the snowman. But when they came back to the garden, the snowman was gone. There was only a puddle of water. + +"Where is our snowman?" Sara asked. + +"He is gone, Sara. He melted away." Ben said. + +They felt very sad. They wanted their snowman back. They hugged each other and cried. + +"Maybe we can make another snowman when it snows again." Ben said. + +"Maybe. But it will not be the same." Sara said. + +They went inside and had some hot chocolate. They hoped it would snow again soon. They missed their snowman. He was not normal. He was special. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play in the woods near their house. They have a big pine tree that is their favorite. They climb on it and make a fort with sticks and leaves. + +One day, a big storm comes. The wind is loud and the rain is hard. Tim and Mia are inside with Mom and Dad. They watch the storm from the window. They worry about their pine tree. Will it fall down? Will it lose its branches? Will their fort be gone? + +The storm stops. The sun comes out. Tim and Mia run outside to see their pine tree. They are happy to see that it is still standing. It has some broken branches, but it is still strong. Their fort is a little messy, but they can fix it. They hug their pine tree and say thank you. They feel safe and glad. They play in their fort and have fun. They love their pine tree. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Ben found a big worm and showed it to Lily. Lily said, "Ew, that is yucky! Put it back!" + +Ben laughed and said, "No, it is my friend. I will keep it in a jar." He ran to the house and got a jar. He put some dirt and grass in the jar and then the worm. He put the lid on and made some holes with a pencil. + +Lily followed him and said, "What will you do with it? Will you feed it?" Ben said, "Yes, I will feed it some prunes. Prunes are good for worms. They make them strong and happy." + +Lily said, "Prunes? I don't like prunes. They are wrinkly and brown. They taste bad." Ben said, "No, they are yummy. They are sweet and juicy. They are good for you too. They make you poop." + +Lily made a face and said, "No, thank you. I like apples. They are crunchy and red. They taste good." Ben said, "OK, you can have an apple. But I will have a prune. And so will my worm." + +They went to the kitchen and asked their mom for a snack. Mom gave them a plate with some prunes and some apples. She said, "Here you go, kids. Enjoy your fruits. And don't forget to wash your hands." + +Ben took a prune and gave it to his worm. He said, "Here, buddy. This is for you. You will love it." He watched as the worm nibbled on the prune. He smiled and said, "See, Lily? He likes it. He is happy." + +Lily took an apple and bit into it. She said, "I like this better. It is crunchy and sweet." She looked at the worm and said, "He is not happy. He is sad. He wants to go back to the dirt. He doesn't like the jar." + +Ben said, "No, he is fine. He has everything he needs. He has dirt, grass, prunes, and me. He is my friend. He will stay with me." + +Lily said, "No, he is not your friend. He is a worm. He belongs to the garden. He has other friends there. He will miss them." + +Ben said, "No, he won't. He likes me more. He is my pet. He will stay with me." + +They argued for a while. They did not agree. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the jar with the worm and the prunes. She said, "What is this, Ben? Why do you have a worm in a jar?" + +Ben said, "He is my pet, Mom. I found him in the garden. He likes prunes. He is happy." + +Mom said, "Ben, you can't keep a worm as a pet. He is not happy. He needs to go back to the garden. He needs fresh air and water and other worms. He is not a toy. He is a living thing." + +Ben said, "But, Mom, I love him. He is my friend. He will stay with me." + +Mom said, "I know you love him, Ben. But you have to let him go. He is not meant to live in a jar. He will be happier in the garden. You can still visit him there. You can still be his friend. But you have to let him go." + +Ben looked at his worm. He saw that he was not moving much. He saw that he was not eating the prune. He saw that he was not white. He was pale and sick. He felt sorry for him. He said, "OK, Mom. You are right. I will let him go." + +He took the jar and went to the garden. He opened the lid and poured the dirt and the worm on the ground. He said, "Bye, buddy. I'm sorry I kept you in a jar. I hope you will be happy in the garden. I hope you will find your friends. I hope you will eat some prunes. I will miss you." + +He gave the worm a gentle pat and watched him wiggle away. He felt sad, but he also felt good. He did the right thing. He went back to the house and hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, Mom. You are smart. You know what is best." + +Mom hugged him back and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are kind. You care about others. I'm proud of you." + +Lily came and hugged him too. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I know you loved your worm. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a fat puppy with brown fur and black spots. The puppy was running and jumping with a ball in his mouth. + +"Look, a puppy!" Tom said. "Can we pet him?" + +"Let's ask his owner first," Anna said. They ran after the puppy and saw a man sitting on a bench. He smiled and waved at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my puppy? His name is Spot," the man said. + +"Yes, he is very cute and fat," Anna said. "Can we pet him, please?" + +"Sure, he loves to make new friends. But be gentle, he is still a baby," the man said. He gave them the ball and let them play with Spot. + +Tom and Anna had fun with Spot. They threw the ball and Spot fetched it. They rubbed his belly and ears and he licked their faces. They laughed and hugged him. + +"Spot, you are the best puppy ever," Tom said. + +"Thank you for letting us play with him," Anna said. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like him. He is a very happy puppy," the man said. + +They heard their mom calling them. It was time to go home. + +"Bye, Spot. Bye, mister. We hope to see you again," Tom and Anna said. + +"Bye, kids. Have a nice day," the man said. + +Tom and Anna waved goodbye and ran to their mom. They told her about the fat puppy and how much fun they had. They hoped to see Spot again soon. They wondered what would happen next time they met him. Maybe he would learn a new trick or make a new friend. They smiled and dreamed of Spot. He was their favorite puppy. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play together. They had many toys, but they wanted more. Their birthday was soon. They hoped to get many gifts. + +One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow on it. It looked like a gift. They wondered what was inside. They wanted to open it. But their mom said, "No, no, no. That is not for you. That is for your aunt. She is coming to visit. You have to wait for your birthday." + +Lily and Ben were sad. They waited for their mom to go to the kitchen. Then they sneaked to the box. They tried to lift it. It was heavy. They tried to shake it. It made a noise. They tried to peek under the bow. They saw something hairy. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a bear," Ben said. + +"A bear? I want a bear!" Lily said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +They decided to open the box. They pulled the bow. They tore the paper. They opened the lid. They saw a hairy face. It was not a bear. It was their aunt. + +"Surprise!" their aunt said. + +Lily and Ben screamed. They were scared. They pushed the box away. The box fell over. Their aunt fell out. She was not happy. + +Their mom heard the noise. She came to the living room. She saw the mess. She saw the twins. She saw her sister. + +"What have you done?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben were sorry. They said, "We thought it was a gift. We thought it was a bear. We did not know it was auntie." + +Their mom sighed. She said, "You should not open things that are not yours. You should listen to me. You should be nice to your aunt. She came to give you a gift. A real gift. Not a hairy one." + +Their aunt smiled. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. I love you. Here is your gift. It is a book. A book about bears." + +Lily and Ben were happy. They said, "Thank you, auntie. We love you too. We love books. We love bears. We are sorry we pushed you." + +They hugged their aunt. They hugged their mom. They opened the book. They read about bears. They learned many things. They had fun. They forgot about the box. +Sara liked to fold paper. She could make hats, boats, and animals with paper. She learned how to fold from her big sister, who showed her many shapes. Sara wanted to be independent, like her sister. She wanted to do things by herself. + +One day, Sara found a big sheet of paper in the kitchen. It was colorful and shiny. She thought it would make a beautiful hat. She took the paper and went to her room. She did not see the note on the paper. It said: "Do not touch. This is for Mom's birthday cake." + +Sara folded the paper into a hat. She was very proud of her work. She put the hat on her head and looked in the mirror. She smiled. She decided to show her hat to her sister. She left her room and walked to the living room. + +On the way, she saw a plate of cookies on the table. They smelled good. She was hungry. She thought: "I will have a snack. Then I will show my hat." She reached for a cookie. But she did not see the cat on the couch. The cat saw the shiny hat. The cat liked shiny things. The cat jumped on Sara's head. + +Sara screamed. The hat fell off. The cat ran away with the hat. Sara cried. She wanted her hat back. She did not understand why the cat took it. She did not know it was paper for Mom's cake. She did not know she had made a big mistake. +Tom liked to ride his bike. He had a new helmet that was red and shiny. He wanted to show his friends how fast he could go. He asked his mom to record him with her phone. + +"Are you ready, Tom?" his mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. Watch me!" Tom said. He put on his helmet and got on his bike. He pedaled as hard as he could. + +His mom held her phone and pressed a button. She smiled and said, "You're doing great, Tom. Keep going!" + +Tom felt happy and proud. He saw a big hill ahead. He wanted to go down the hill and make a big jump. He thought it would look cool on the video. He did not see the rock on the road. + +Tom hit the rock and lost his balance. He flew off his bike and landed on the ground. His helmet hit the ground hard. He felt a sharp pain in his head. He started to cry. + +His mom ran to him and hugged him. She checked his helmet and saw a big crack. She was glad he was wearing it. She said, "Oh, Tom, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" + +Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He said, "I'm okay, mom. But my helmet is broken. And my bike too." + +His mom said, "Don't worry, Tom. We can get you a new helmet and fix your bike. The important thing is that you're safe. And you know what? I have something to show you." + +She showed him her phone. On the screen, there was a video of Tom riding his bike, going down the hill, and making a big jump. He looked brave and strong. He smiled and said, "Wow, mom. That's awesome. Can I see it again?" +Tom was a lazy cat. He liked to sleep on the sofa all day. He did not like to play with his toys or run around the house. He only got up to eat and drink. + +One day, Tom saw a new cushion on the sofa. It was red and soft and had a funny face on it. Tom was curious. He walked over to the cushion and sniffed it. It smelled like flowers. Tom did not like flowers. He pushed the cushion with his paw. It did not move. Tom was annoyed. He wanted to sleep on the sofa, but the cushion was in his way. + +Tom decided to stare at the cushion. He hoped the cushion would get scared and go away. He opened his eyes wide and made a mean face. He stared and stared and stared. But the cushion did not care. It just smiled back at him. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" asked Lily, his owner. She came into the living room and saw Tom and the cushion. She laughed. "Do you like your new friend? I bought it for you. It's a cat cushion. See, it has ears and whiskers and a tail." + +Tom did not like his new friend. He did not like cat cushions. He liked real cats. He liked himself. He meowed loudly and jumped off the sofa. He ran away to his bed. He did not want to see the cushion ever again. + +Lily shrugged. She picked up the cushion and hugged it. She thought it was cute and cozy. She put it on the sofa and sat down. She turned on the TV and watched a show. She did not notice that Tom was watching her from his bed. He was still staring at the cushion. He was still annoyed. He wished he had the sofa to himself. He wished Lily would get rid of the cushion. He wished he could sleep in peace. He was a lazy cat. +Lily liked to play the flute. She had a small flute that made nice sounds. She learned how to play from her mom. She played every day and got better and better. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big flute. It was shiny and had many buttons. A man was playing it and making beautiful music. Lily wanted to try it. + +"Can I play your flute, please?" she asked the man. + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can try it. But be careful, it is very different from your flute. It is harder to play and louder." + +He gave Lily his flute and showed her how to hold it and blow it. Lily tried to play, but it was not easy. She could not make the sounds she wanted. She felt sad and frustrated. + +She gave the flute back to the man and said, "Thank you, but I like my flute better. It is more fun and fits me." + +The man said, "You are welcome. You have a good flute and you play it well. You should be proud of yourself. You have gained a lot of skill and joy from your flute." + +Lily smiled and hugged her flute. She felt happy and proud. She played a song for the man and her mom. They clapped and cheered. Lily thought that playing the flute was fair and fun. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They found a shiny crystal under a big rock. Anna wanted to keep it, but Ben wanted to look at it too. + +"Give me the crystal, Anna!" Ben said. + +"No, it is mine! I found it first!" Anna said. + +They pulled and pushed the crystal, but it was very hard. They could not break it or share it. They were frustrated. + +Suddenly, the crystal began to glow. It changed colors: red, blue, green, yellow. Anna and Ben stopped fighting and watched. The crystal was very pretty. + +"What is happening?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is magic," Ben said. + +They heard a voice from the crystal. It was soft and kind. + +"Hello, children. I am a fairy. You have found my home. I was sleeping, but you woke me up. Don't be afraid. I am not angry. I want to thank you for finding me. I have been alone for a long time. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were surprised and happy. + +"Yes, we want to be your friends," they said. + +The fairy smiled. She came out of the crystal. She was small and had wings. She sparkled like the crystal. + +"Then, let me show you something. Hold my hands and close your eyes. I will take you to a wonderful place. Are you ready?" + +Anna and Ben held the fairy's hands and closed their eyes. They felt a warm breeze and a gentle lift. They opened their eyes and gasped. They were flying in the sky. They saw clouds, stars, rainbows, and birds. They felt free and joyful. + +They turned to the fairy and said, "Thank you, fairy. You are very nice. We are glad we found you." + +The fairy hugged them and said, "You are welcome, children. You are very brave and kind. I am glad you found me too. Let's have fun together." +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but they also liked to make space for their imagination. Sometimes they pretended to be astronauts, or pirates, or superheroes, or animals. + +One day, they decided to play space. They put on their helmets and suits, and used cardboard boxes and tin foil to make a rocket. They counted down from ten, and then blasted off to the stars. They saw planets and moons and comets and aliens. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Sam saw a shiny star that he wanted to touch. He reached out of the rocket and grabbed it. But it was not a star, it was a light bulb. It was very hot and it hurt his hand. He cried out loud and dropped the bulb. It broke on the floor and made a mess. + +Lily heard Sam's cry and came to help him. She saw his hand was red and sore. She felt sorry for him and hugged him. She said, "Sam, are you okay? That was not a star, that was a light. You should not touch it, it can hurt you." + +Sam said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I wanted to touch the star, but it was not a star. It was a light. It hurt me a lot. And I broke it. I'm sorry." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But next time, be careful. Lights are not stars. Stars are far away and beautiful, but lights are close and hot. You should enjoy them with your eyes, not with your hands." + +Sam nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you." + +Lily said, "I love you too, Sam. Come on, let's go and tell Mom. She can help you with your hand. And then we can play space again. But this time, no touching lights, okay?" + +Sam said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go." + +They held hands and went to find Mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some things are not what they seem, and that they should be careful and respectful. They also learned that they had each other, and that they could enjoy space together. +Lily liked to help her dad work in the garden. She put on her vest that was green and smooth. It had many pockets for her tools. She took her shovel and her rake and followed her dad outside. + +They dug and planted and watered the flowers. Lily saw a worm in the dirt. She picked it up and showed it to her dad. "Look, dad, a worm!" she said. + +Her dad smiled and said, "That's right, Lily, a worm. Worms are good for the garden. They make the soil soft and rich. Do you want to put it back in the dirt?" + +Lily nodded and gently placed the worm in a hole. She covered it with some dirt and patted it. "Bye, worm," she said. "Have a nice day." + +Her dad hugged her and said, "You are a great helper, Lily. I'm proud of you. Do you want to go inside and have some juice?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please, dad. I'm thirsty. And hungry. Can we have some cookies too?" + +Her dad laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. Let's go. You worked hard today. You deserve a treat." They took off their vests and their gloves and went inside. Lily was happy. She liked to work with her dad. She liked to wear her vest. She liked to see the worms. She liked to have juice and cookies. She loved her dad. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. But one day, they have a fight. Lily wants to play with the pink doll, and Ben wants to play with the blue car. They both say, "Mine! Mine!" + +They pull and tug at the toys. They make loud noises. They are not happy. They are not friends. + +Mom hears the fight. She comes to the room. She sees the toys and the children. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! Stop! You are not nice. You are not sharing. You are not friends." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel bad. They want to be nice. They want to share. They want to be friends. + +Mom says, "Look at these toys. They are cute. They are different. But they can play together. They can unite. They can make a story. You can do the same. You are cute. You are different. But you can play together. You can unite. You can make a story." + +Lily and Ben feel an urge. They want to try. They want to play. They want to unite. They say, "Sorry. Sorry. Can we play? Can we unite? Can we make a story?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes. Yes. You can play. You can unite. You can make a story. You are friends." + +Lily and Ben smile. They hug. They share. They play. They unite. They make a story. They are happy. They are friends. + +The moral of the story is: You can be different and still be friends. You can share and play together. You can unite and make a story. +Ben and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. Ben wants to play with the cars, but Mia wants to play with the dolls. They start to fight. + +"Give me the car!" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. + +They pull and tug at the car. The car breaks in two. Ben and Mia cry. + +"Look what you did!" Ben says. + +"It is your fault!" Mia says. + +They are very angry. They refuse to share or say sorry. They throw the toys on the earth. They do not want to play anymore. + +Mum comes out. She sees the mess. She sees the broken car. She sees the sad faces. + +"What happened here?" Mum asks. + +"Ben and Mia broke the car!" They both say. + +Mum is not happy. She scolds them. + +"You are very naughty! You do not know how to play nicely. You do not know how to be kind. You do not know how to fix things. You have to go to your rooms. No more toys for you today." + +Ben and Mia feel bad. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had shared. They wish they had said sorry. But it is too late. They have to go to their rooms. They have no fun. They have no friends. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a big mess. There were blocks, dolls, cars, and books everywhere. + +"Time to clean up, kids!" Mom called from the kitchen. "We have to go to Grandma's soon." + +Lily and Tom did not want to stop playing. They ignored Mom and kept making noise. + +"Did you hear me?" Mom asked, coming into the living room. She saw the messy floor and frowned. "This is not nice, kids. You have to put your toys away. It is not fair to leave them like this." + +"But we don't want to!" Lily and Tom whined. "We want to play more!" + +Mom shook her head. "No, you have to learn to be responsible and respectful. You can play more later, but first you have to clean up. Come on, I'll help you. Let's load the toys into this basket." + +She picked up a big basket and handed it to Lily. "Here, you start with the blocks. Tom, you take the dolls. I'll take the cars and books." + +Lily and Tom sighed, but they obeyed Mom. They started to load the toys into the basket. As they did, they noticed something shiny under the couch. + +"Look, Mom, what is this?" Lily asked, pulling out a heavy object. + +Mom gasped. "That's the iron! How did it get here? That's very dangerous, kids. You should never touch the iron. It can be very hot and hurt you." + +Lily and Tom felt scared. They did not know the iron was there. They did not mean to touch it. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said. "We didn't know." + +Mom hugged them. "It's okay, kids. I'm glad you're safe. But this is why you have to clean up your toys. You never know what you might find or what might happen. It's better to be tidy and careful." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They finished loading the toys into the basket and carried it to their room. They put the toys in their places and came back to the living room. + +"Good job, kids," Mom said. "You did very well. Now we can go to Grandma's. She will be happy to see you." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They felt proud and happy. They learned a lesson. They decided to always clean up their toys and never touch the iron. They hugged Mom and went to the car. They were ready to have more fun at Grandma's. +Tom and Sam are squirrels. They live in a big tree with many nuts. They like to play and eat nuts every day. But one day, they see a big, powerful bear near their tree. The bear is hungry and wants to eat their nuts. + +"Oh no, what do we do?" Tom asks Sam. "The bear is too big and strong. He can break our tree and take our nuts." + +Sam thinks hard. He has an idea. "I know, we can trick the bear. We can give him a bad nut. A nut that is old and rotten and smells bad. Maybe he will not like it and go away." + +Tom likes the idea. He finds a bad nut in their stash. He throws it to the bear. "Hey, bear, do you want a nut? Here, catch!" + +The bear sees the nut and catches it. He sniffs it and makes a face. He does not like the smell. He bites the nut and makes a louder face. He does not like the taste. He spits out the nut and growls. + +"Yuck, this nut is bad. You squirrels are mean. I will find better nuts somewhere else." The bear says. He turns around and walks away. + +Tom and Sam sigh with relief. They are happy that the bear is gone. They hug each other and go back to their tree. They eat some good nuts and play some more. They are safe and happy. The end. +Jill and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big bunch of grapes in the kitchen. They were hungry and wanted to eat some. + +"Can we have some grapes, Mom?" Jill asked. + +"Yes, but only a few. And don't make a mess," Mom said. + +Jill and Ben took some grapes and went to the living room. They ate them and enjoyed the sweet and juicy taste. But Ben wanted more. He saw that Jill had one grape left on her plate. + +"Can I have your grape, Jill?" Ben asked. + +"No, it's mine. You already had enough," Jill said. + +"Please, just one more. I'll give you something else," Ben said. + +He looked around and saw a dull and dirty marble on the floor. He picked it up and tried to give it to Jill. + +"Here, take this. It's shiny and round. You can replace your grape with this," Ben said. + +Jill looked at the marble and saw that it was not shiny or round. It was dull and bumpy. She did not want it. + +"No, thank you. I don't want your marble. It's not nice. And you can't replace a grape with a marble. They are not the same," Jill said. + +She ate her grape and enjoyed it. Ben felt sad and sorry. He realized that he was greedy and unfair. He wished he had not asked for Jill's grape. + +"I'm sorry, Jill. I was wrong. You can keep your grape. And your friendship. I don't want to lose you over a grape," Ben said. + +Jill smiled and forgave him. She saw that he was sincere and sorry. She decided to share something else with him. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are still my friend. And you can have some of my juice. It's grape-flavored. Maybe it will make you happy," Jill said. + +Ben thanked her and drank some of her juice. He felt happy and grateful. He learned that he should not be greedy and try to replace things that are not the same. He learned that friendship is more valuable than grapes. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to go on the subway with their mom. They liked to see the big trains and the many people. They also liked to eat sandwiches that mom made for them. + +One day, mom said, "We are going to the zoo today. We will take the subway and see the animals. Do you want to go?" + +Tom and Anna said, "Yes, yes, yes! We love the zoo. We want to see the lions and the monkeys and the penguins." + +Mom smiled and said, "OK, let's go. But remember, you have to stay close to me and hold my hand. The subway can be crowded and noisy. Don't run away or get lost." + +Tom and Anna nodded and said, "OK, mom. We will be good." + +They packed their sandwiches and went to the subway station. They waited for the train to come. When it came, they got on with mom. The train was very full. There were many people and bags and noises. Tom and Anna felt scared. They held mom's hand tightly. + +But then, something bad happened. A man with a big coat and a hat bumped into mom. He said, "Sorry, sorry." He pushed mom and took her purse. He ran out of the train before the doors closed. + +Mom shouted, "Hey, stop! That's my purse! Help, help!" + +Tom and Anna were shocked. They saw mom's purse in the man's hand. They saw mom's sandwich in the purse. They felt hungry and sad. + +They cried, "Mom, mom, we want our sandwich. We want our sandwich." + +Mom tried to calm them down. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. It's OK. We will get another sandwich. We will still go to the zoo. We will have fun." + +But Tom and Anna did not listen. They did not want another sandwich. They wanted their sandwich. The sandwich that mom made for them. The sandwich that had cheese and ham and butter. The sandwich that they could spread with their fingers. The sandwich that was adorable and yummy. + +They cried louder and louder. They kicked and screamed. They made a big fuss. They did not care about the zoo or the animals. They only cared about their sandwich. + +The other people on the train looked at them. They shook their heads and frowned. They said, "What spoiled brats. What a bad mom. What a terrible day." + +The end. +Sara liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers and trees and birds. She wanted to improve her drawing. She asked her mom to help her. + +Mom showed Sara how to draw a lily. A lily was a white flower with six petals. Mom drew a circle for the middle and six ovals for the petals. She drew a stem and some leaves. She gave Sara a pencil and a paper. + +Sara tried to draw a lily. She drew a circle and six ovals. But her ovals were not the same size. Some were big and some were small. Her stem was crooked and her leaves were messy. Sara looked at her drawing and felt sad. It did not look like a lily. It looked like a mess. + +Mom saw Sara's sad face. She hugged Sara and said, "Don't be sad, Sara. You did a good job. Drawing is fun and you can improve with practice. You can try again and again. You can also use different colors and shapes. You can make your own lily. It will be beautiful and unique." + +Sara smiled and hugged Mom. She felt better. She picked up a crayon and a new paper. She decided to draw a lily with pink petals and a purple middle. She drew a straight stem and some curly leaves. She liked her drawing. It was different and pretty. She showed it to Mom and said, "Look, Mom. I improved my drawing. This is my lily." Mom smiled and said, "I love it, Sara. You are a great artist." Sara felt happy and proud. She wanted to draw more flowers. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big lollipop on a bench. It was red and shiny and looked very good. + +"Wow, look at that lollipop!" Sara said. "Can we have it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone. The lollipop seemed lonely and sad. + +"Let's share it," Sara said. "It will make us happy and the lollipop happy too." + +She reached for the lollipop, but Ben stopped her. + +"Wait, Sara," he said. "What if it is a bad lollipop? What if it makes us sick or has germs?" + +Sara frowned. She did not think the lollipop was bad. It looked so good and sweet. + +"But Ben, it is just a lollipop," she said. "It can't hurt us. And we are hungry and thirsty. Please, let's have it." + +Ben shook his head. He was scared of the lollipop. He thought it was a trap or a trick. + +"No, Sara, no," he said. "We should not touch it. We should go home and ask mom for a snack." + +Sara and Ben argued. They both wanted the lollipop, but for different reasons. They did not know what to do. They did not notice the man who came back to the bench. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you like my lollipop?" + +Sara and Ben gasped. They looked at the man. He was holding a camera. + +"It is not a real lollipop," he said. "It is a fake one. I made it for a joke. I wanted to see how people would react to it. You are very funny and cute. Can I take your picture?" + +Sara and Ben felt silly and angry. They did not like the man or his joke. They did not want their picture taken. They ran away from the bench and the lollipop. They decided to go home and ask mom for a real snack. They learned a lesson. They should not trust things that seem too good to be true. +Tom is a driver. He drives a big truck. He likes his job.

Lily had a pink doll and Ben had a blue doll. + +"Shh, my baby is sleepy," Lily said. "I have to rock her to sleep." She held her doll in her arms and moved it gently back and forth. She sang a soft song to her doll. + +"My baby is sleepy too," Ben said. "But he likes to nap in the sun." He laid his doll on a blanket and covered him with a hat. He smiled at his doll. + +Lily and Ben looked at the sky. They saw a big white bird flying high. It had long wings and a long neck. It looked graceful and beautiful. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "What is it?" + +"I think it is a swan," Ben said. "It lives in the water and eats fish." + +"I wish I could fly like a swan," Lily said. "It must be fun." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But we can't fly. We are not birds. We are kids." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy to be kids. They loved their dolls and their garden.

It was tasty and yellow and soft. + +They did not see Lily and Ben. They did not care about the wheel. They only cared about cheese. + +Lily and Ben were stuck on the wheel. They were sad and hungry and cold. They wished they had never gone on the wheel. They wished they had cheese. +Once upon a time, there was a wild swan. The swan lived near a big lake.

The bird was very happy. It flew away, singing a sweet song. +One day, a boy named Tim went to the garden. He saw a big, dull squash. Tim wanted to pick it up, but it was too heavy.

She loved to play with her toys and her friends. One day, she went to the park with her mommy. They were having a good time until Lily saw a butterfly. She ran after it but accidentally stepped on it. + +Lily started to cry because she felt bad for hurting the butterfly. Her mommy saw her sad face and asked her what happened.

They saw Lily's new dress and were very impressed. But when they saw the water on her dress, they laughed and made fun of her. Lily felt embarrassed and didn't want to play with them anymore. + +She went back home and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a dress. We can wash it and it will be new again. And remember, true friends don't care about what you wear or how you look. They love you for who you are." Lily felt better and learned an important lesson about true friendship. +Once upon a time, a little boy named Timmy was playing in the park. He found a pale rock and showed it to his friend, Sally. + +Sally said, "That's a nice rock, Timmy. But it looks sad and pale. Can we make it pretty?" + +Timmy thought for a moment and said, "I know! Let's solve this problem. We can paint the rock with pretty colors!" + +Sally was excited and they both painted the rock with every color of the rainbow. Now the rock was happy and colorful. They put it back where they found it and said goodbye to their new friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her dolls and stuffed animals.

"That was so silly!" she said. + +After a while, it was time to go home. Lily's mom called her and said, "Come on, Lily. It's time to go home." Lily said goodbye to her friends and picked up her sack. She was happy she had such a fun day playing with her friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little flower. The flower was very small and it lived in a big garden. One day, the flower started to bloom. It was so pretty! The flower was happy because it could finally show its beautiful colors to everyone. + +But then, the flower saw something scary. It was a big truck in the street, making a lot of noise. The flower had never seen so much traffic before. It was scared and didn't know what to do. + +Luckily, a kind bee came to the garden and saw the scared flower. The bee told the flower not to worry and that everything was going to be okay. The flower felt better and thanked the bee.

She loved to play dress-up with her dolls. One day, Lily's mommy gave her a piece of cloth to make a new dress for her doll. + +Lily was so excited! She measured the cloth with a ruler and cut it with scissors. But when she tried to put the dress on her doll, it was too small. + +Lily was sad, but her mommy told her not to worry. They went to the store and found a bigger piece of cloth. This time, Lily measured it carefully and made a beautiful dress for her doll. + +Lily's mommy was so proud of her. She told her that even though things can be harsh sometimes, if you keep trying and measuring carefully, you can make something wonderful. And Lily felt very happy. The end. +Tim and Kim liked to play with their toy boat. They took it to the pond and made it sail on the water. They pretended they were pirates and looked for treasure. + +One day, they saw a big bird flying over the pond. It had a long beak and a red head. It looked hungry and mean. + +"Look, a bird!" Tim said. "Maybe it wants to be our friend." + +"No, it doesn't," Kim said. "It wants to eat our boat. We have to save it." + +They ran to the edge of the pond and waved their arms. They shouted at the bird to go away. But the bird did not listen. It swooped down and grabbed the boat with its beak. + +"Hey, that's our boat!" Tim cried. "Give it back!" + +The bird flew away with the boat. Tim and Kim were very sad. They had lost their toy. They wished they had a bigger and fitter boat that could sail faster and escape the bird. + +They went home and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said she was sorry. She said she had a surprise for them. She took them to the garage and showed them a new toy boat. It was bigger and fitter than the old one. It had a sail and a flag and a cannon. + +"Wow, a new boat!" Tim and Kim said. "Thank you, mom!" + +They hugged their mom and took the new boat to the pond. They made it sail on the water. They pretended they were pirates and looked for treasure. They had fun and forgot about the bird. They were happy. +Tom and Amy were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they were bored. They wanted to go outside and have fun. + +"Mom, can we go to the park?" Tom asked. + +"No, you can't. It is raining and there is lightning. It is not safe," Mom said. + +"But we are bored. We have nothing to do," Amy complained. + +Mom thought for a moment. She wanted to make her children happy. She had an idea. + +"Why don't you make a fort with your blankets and pillows? You can pretend you are in a castle or a spaceship. You can use your imagination and have an adventure," Mom suggested. + +Tom and Amy liked Mom's idea. They got their blankets and pillows and made a big fort on the bed. They crawled inside and pretended they were in a different world. They forgot about the rain and the lightning. They had fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red balloon in the sky. It is very pretty. + +"Wow, look at that balloon!" Anna says. "It is so bright and round. I admire it very much." + +"Me too," Ben says. "It is very attractive. I wish I had a balloon like that. Do you think it has a heart inside?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She does not know what a heart is. She only knows that she has one in her chest, and that it beats fast when she is happy or scared. + +"I don't know," she says. "Maybe it does. Maybe it is happy to fly in the sky. Maybe it loves the clouds and the birds." + +Ben nods. He likes Anna's idea. He thinks that balloons are like people. They have feelings and dreams. He feels a warm feeling in his heart. He likes Anna very much. + +"Anna, you are very smart and kind," he says. "I like you very much. You are my best friend." + +Anna smiles. She feels the same way.

They watch the balloon together. They wonder where it will go. They hope it will find a friend too. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals there. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. They also see a mule. A mule is like a horse, but not the same. + +"Look, Ben, a mule!" Lila says. She points to the mule. The mule is brown and white. It has long ears and a short tail. + +"Wow, a mule!" Ben says. He runs to the mule. He wants to touch it. He thinks the mule is attractive. He likes its ears and tail. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Lila says. She follows him. She knows the mule can kick. She does not want Ben to get hurt. + +"Hello, mule!" Ben says. He reaches his hand to the mule. The mule looks at him. It does not like strangers. It makes a loud noise. It kicks its legs. + +"Ouch!" Ben says. He falls to the ground. He cries. He is scared and in pain. + +"Lila, help!" Ben says. He calls for his friend. + +Lila runs to Ben. She hugs him. She tries to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. The mule is not nice. It does not want to play. Are you okay?" Lila says. + +Ben nods. He wipes his tears. He stands up. + +"I'm okay, Lila. Thank you. Let's go away from the mule. Let's play with the cows. They are nice. They do not kick." Ben says. + +Lila agrees. She takes Ben's hand. They walk to the cows. They forget about the mule. They have fun with the cows. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw some snow on the ground and wanted to make a snowman. They put on their hats, coats, boots and gloves and ran outside. + +They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, some buttons, a scarf and a hat to decorate their snowman. They named him Frosty and gave him a big hug. + +"Look, Frosty has a smile!" Mia said. + +"Yes, he is happy to be our friend," Ben said. + +They wanted to make Frosty more cozy, so they looked for some sticks to make a fire. They wandered around the yard and found some dry wood. They piled it up near Frosty and looked for a match to light it. + +"Here, I have a match," Ben said. He took it out of his pocket and tried to strike it. But the match was icy and wet. It did not make a spark. + +"Oh no, the match is broken," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can find another one," Mia said. They searched their pockets, but they had no more matches. + +They felt sad and cold. They wanted to warm up Frosty and themselves. + +"Let's go inside and ask Mom for a match," Ben said. + +"OK, maybe she can help us," Mia said. + +They held hands and walked back to the house. They hoped Mom would have a match and they could make a fire for Frosty. They also wanted some hot chocolate and cookies. They loved winter, but they also loved being warm and cozy. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers of different colors and shapes. Some were big, some were small, some were round, some were pointy. They liked to smell them and touch them gently. + +One day, they found a flower they had never seen before. It was purple and white, and had four petals that looked like stars. It was hidden under a big leaf. Lila and Ben were very curious and excited. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lila said. "A rare flower! It is so pretty!" + +"Wow, Lila, wow!" Ben said. "Can we pick it and take it home?" + +"No, Ben, no!" Lila said. "We have to leave it here. It is rare, and maybe it will bloom more. We can come back and see it again." + +"OK, Lila, OK," Ben said. "But can we touch it? Just a little bit?" + +Lila and Ben reached out their hands to touch the rare flower. But as soon as they touched it, something strange happened. The flower made a loud noise, like a bee, and the petals moved like wings. It flew up in the air and landed on a branch. It was not a flower, it was a butterfly! + +Lila and Ben gasped and laughed. They had never seen a butterfly like that. It was a switch flower, a flower that turned into a butterfly. They watched it flutter and shine in the sun. They clapped their hands and said, "Wow, wow, wow!" +Tom was a curious boy who liked to play with different things. One day, he saw his dad's guitar in the living room. He wanted to touch it and make sounds with it. He did not ask his dad, because he was busy in the kitchen. + +Tom picked up the guitar and carried it to the bathroom. He thought it would be fun to play with it in the water. He filled the tub with water and put the guitar in it. He splashed the water and strummed the strings. He liked the noises he made. + +But soon, the guitar stopped making noises. It looked different too. The wood was wet and soft, and the strings were loose and broken. Tom wondered what happened. He heard his dad coming to the bathroom. He was angry. + +"Tom, what did you do to my guitar?" his dad shouted. "You soaked it in water and ruined it! Do you know how much it cost? Do you know how much I loved it?" + +Tom felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to break the guitar. He just wanted to play with it. He started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, dad, I'm sorry!" he sobbed. "I was curious, I didn't know!" + +His dad sighed and hugged him. He was still angry, but he loved his son. He tried to calm him down. + +"Tom, I know you were curious, but you should have asked me first. You should not play with things that are not yours. You should respect other people's belongings. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He learned his lesson. He said he would never do it again. + +The moral of the story is: Curiosity is good, but you should not be careless or selfish. You should ask for permission and be careful with other people's things. +Jenny and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Jenny was bossy. She told Tom what to do and how to do it. Tom did not like that. + +"Tom, chop the cauliflower!" Jenny said. She gave him a big knife and a cutting board. Tom was scared of the knife. It was sharp and shiny. + +"I don't want to chop the cauliflower," Tom said. He put the knife down. "It looks like a white tree. I want to play with it." + +"No, you have to chop it!" Jenny said. She was angry. "We need it for the soup. It's my recipe and you have to follow it." + +"But I don't like soup. I like pizza," Tom said. He picked up the cauliflower and pretended it was a car. He made vroom-vroom noises and drove it around the table. + +"Stop it, Tom! Give me the cauliflower!" Jenny said. She tried to grab it from him. Tom held it tight. They pulled and tugged and fought over the cauliflower. + +"Hey, what are you two doing?" Mom said. She came into the kitchen and saw the mess. There were bits of cauliflower everywhere. The knife and the cutting board were on the floor. Jenny and Tom looked at Mom. They did not know what to say. They shrugged. + +Mom was not happy. She shook her head.

They were friends. +One day, a boy and his mom went to the park. They saw many things there: swings, slides, trees, flowers, and birds. The boy liked to play on the swings and slide down the slides. He also liked to look at the trees and flowers and listen to the birds. + +Near the park, there was a vendor. He had a cart with many things to sell: ice cream, candy, popcorn, and drinks. He also had a bell on his cart. He would ring the bell to let people know he was there. The boy heard the bell and wanted to buy something. He asked his mom, "Mom, can I have some ice cream?" + +His mom said, "Sure, you can have some ice cream. But first, let's see what the vendor has. Maybe he has something else you like." They walked to the vendor's cart and looked at his things. The vendor smiled and said, "Hello, what can I get for you?" + +The boy saw many flavors of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and more. He also saw some unknown flavors. He did not know what they were. He pointed at one of them and asked, "What is this?" + +The vendor said, "That is mango. It is a fruit. It is sweet and juicy. Do you want to try it?" + +The boy nodded. He liked fruits. The vendor gave him a small spoon of mango ice cream. The boy tasted it. He liked it. It was sweet and juicy. He said, "Mmm, this is good. I want this." + +His mom said, "Okay, you can have this. How much is it, vendor?" + +The vendor said, "It is one dollar, please." + +His mom gave him one dollar. The vendor gave the boy a cone of mango ice cream. The boy said, "Thank you, vendor." + +The vendor said, "You're welcome, boy. Enjoy your ice cream." + +The boy and his mom walked back to the park.

She thanked her brother and threw it in the air. + +But the ball bounced back and hit her in the face. Lily cried out. It hurt. She dropped the ball and the doll and the book.

It was shiny and smooth. They both wanted to have it. + +"Give me the rock!" Ben said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. "I touched it first!" + +They pulled and pushed the rock. They shouted and cried. They did not share or say sorry. They were very angry and stupid. + +A big bird was flying in the sky. It saw the rock. It thought it was an egg. It wanted to have it.

"I should have shared the rock with you." + +"Sorry, Sam," Ben said. "I should have been nice to you." + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to play together and find a new toy.

You could have broken your neck." + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't rock so hard again." + +Her mom said, "I hope so, Lily. I love you, but you have to be smart and safe." + +She took her inside and put a bandage on her head. She gave her a kiss and a cookie. But Lily still felt sad. She missed the bird and her chair.

She ran to her room and locked the door. She put the shoes on Lily and hugged her. She felt proud. She had found her shoes. She had won. + +But she did not know that the shoe box was not Tom's. It was a gift from their grandma. She had sent them a pair of shoes each for their birthday. She had written a note inside the box. It said: + +"Dear Sara and Tom, I hope you like these shoes. They are very special. They have a secret. If you press the heel, they will light up and make a sound. They are magic shoes. I love you very much. Grandma." + +Sara did not see the note. She did not press the heel. She did not know the secret. She did not know that Tom had a pair of shoes too. She did not know that he was waiting for her to open the box with him. She did not know that he was hurt and sad. She did not know that she had made a mistake. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours. Do not accuse others without proof. Do not be selfish and greedy. Be kind and share. You might miss something wonderful. +Lily and Anna were playing dress-up in their room. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. Lily found a purple veil that was very long and shiny. She put it on her head and said, "Look, Anna, I am a princess!" + +Anna wanted to play with the veil too. She said, "No, Lily, you are not a princess. You are a witch! Give me the veil, I want to be a princess!" She tried to pull the veil from Lily's head. + +Lily did not like that. She said, "Stop, Anna, you are mean! The veil is mine, I found it first!" She held on to the veil very tight. + +Anna and Lily pulled and pulled on the veil. They did not hear their mom coming to their room. She opened the door and saw them fighting. She said, "Girls, what are you doing? Why are you yelling and pulling on the veil?" + +Anna and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt bad. They said, "Sorry, mom, we were playing dress-up and we both wanted the veil." + +Their mom said, "Well, you can't play like that. You have to share and be nice to each other. The veil is big enough for both of you. Why don't you take turns wearing it, or wear it together?" + +Anna and Lily thought that was a good idea. They said, "Okay, mom, we will share and be nice. Thank you for the veil, it is very pretty." + +Their mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, girls. I'm glad you like it. It was my veil when I was a little girl. Now you can play with it and have fun. But remember, no more fighting, okay?" + +Anna and Lily nodded and hugged their mom. They said, "Okay, mom, no more fighting. We love you and we love the veil." + +They put the veil on their heads and pretended to be princesses. They were happy and played nicely. They did not snap at each other anymore. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is a big box. They pretend the box is a house, a car, a spaceship, or anything they want. + +One day, they are playing with the box in the backyard. They hear a loud noise and see a dark cloud in the sky. It is a tornado. The tornado is very scary and strong. It can break things and hurt people. Lily and Ben are afraid. They want to go inside, but the box is too heavy to carry. + +They have an idea. They turn the box upside down and crawl inside. They hold each other and close their eyes. They hope the tornado will go away soon. They say, "We are safe in our box. We are brave. We are best friends." + +The tornado comes closer and closer. It makes a lot of wind and noise. It picks up things and throws them around. It sees the box and thinks it is a toy. It wants to play with the box. It grabs the box with its wind and lifts it up. It spins the box and tosses it in the air. + +Lily and Ben feel the box moving and shaking. They are very scared. They scream and cry. They hug each other and say, "We want to go home. We want our mom and dad. We don't like the tornado. It is mean and bad." + +The tornado plays with the box for a while. It thinks the box is fun and adorable. It likes the sound of the children inside. It does not know it is hurting them. It does not know they are afraid. It does not know they want to stop. + +Then, the tornado sees something else. It sees a big truck on the road. It thinks the truck is bigger and better than the box. It drops the box and goes after the truck. It leaves the box on the ground, far away from the backyard. + +Lily and Ben feel the box stop and fall. They are still scared, but they are also happy. They open the box and look outside. They see a lot of people and cars. They do not see the tornado. They do not see their home. They are lost. + +They cry and call for help. They hope someone will find them and take them back. They hope their mom and dad are okay. They hope their toys are not broken. They hope they will never see the tornado again. They hold each other and say, "We are still best friends. We will be okay." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. They saw a big hill with trees and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They held hands and walked up the hill. They heard a loud roar. They saw a big, hairy monster with sharp teeth and claws. The monster was angry and wild. It wanted to eat them. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran back down the hill. The monster chased them. It was fast and strong. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +A man with a dog heard them. He ran to them. He saw the monster. He offered his dog a bone. He threw the bone to the monster. + +The monster saw the bone. It liked bones. It stopped chasing Lily and Tom. It ran to the bone. It bit the bone and wagged its tail. + +The man, the dog, Lily and Tom were safe. They hugged and thanked the man. They said goodbye to the dog. They went back to the park. They played some more. They did not go to the hill again. They were happy. +Tom and Amy liked to play with their toy train. They had a big rail that went around the room. They put the train on the rail and made it go fast. They pretended they were the driver and the passenger. + +One day, they found a sack in the closet. It was full of old clothes. They had an idea. They took some clothes out of the sack and put them on the rail. They said they were making a tunnel for the train. + +"Choo choo!" Tom said. He pushed the train towards the clothes. "We are going to the tunnel!" + +"Wow!" Amy said. She was enthusiastic. She watched the train go under the clothes. "It is dark and cozy!" + +But then, something went wrong. The train got stuck in the clothes. It could not move. Tom and Amy tried to pull it out, but it was too hard. They heard a loud noise. It was their mom. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She saw the mess on the rail. She was not happy. She took the sack and the clothes and put them back in the closet. She said they had to clean up the rail. + +Tom and Amy were sad. They liked their tunnel. They said they were sorry to Mom. They helped her clean up the rail. They said they would not do it again. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them. She said she loved them. She said they could play with the train, but not with the sack. She said they could make a tunnel with something else, like a box or a blanket. + +Tom and Amy nodded. They thanked Mom. They looked for a box or a blanket. They still wanted to play with their toy train. They still liked to pretend. They still had fun. +Lila did not like the dull home she had to live in. It was small and gray and had no toys or books or colors. She had to share a room with her big sister, who was always mean to her. Lila wanted to go to a different home, where she could have fun and be happy. + +One day, Lila saw a bright flyer on the wall. It had a picture of a big house with a garden and a swing and a slide. It said, "Come to Happy Home! The best place for kids like you!" Lila stared at the flyer and wished she could go there. She wondered what it would be like to play in the garden and slide on the slide and swing on the swing. + +The next day, Lila saw a big bus outside her dull home. It had the same picture as the flyer and said, "Happy Home Bus". Lila ran to the bus and saw a man with a smile. He said, "Hello, little girl. Do you want to go to Happy Home? It's a wonderful place where you can have fun and be happy. Just get on the bus and I'll take you there." + +Lila was so excited that she did not think twice. She got on the bus and sat on a seat. She saw other kids on the bus, who looked happy and friendly. She thought she had found her new home. She did not see the man's smile turn into a smirk. She did not hear him say, "Another one for the collection." She did not know that Happy Home was not a real home, but a trap. She did not know that she would never see her dull home or her big sister again. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks, but they want more. They see a big truck in the street. It has steel parts. Steel is hard and shiny. + +They run to the big truck. They want to take some steel parts. They think they can make new cars and trucks with them. They see a small part on the wheel. It looks like a star. Lila likes stars. She tries to pull the small part. + +But the small part is stuck. It does not move. Lila pulls harder. She falls down. She hurts her hand. She cries. Tom hears her cry. He runs to her. He sees her hand. It is red and sore. He feels sorry for her. + +He says, "Lila, are you OK? I am sorry you are hurt. You should not take the steel part. It belongs to the big truck. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. Come, I will help you. We can go to your mom. She will make your hand better." + +He helps her stand up. He holds her hand. They walk away from the big truck. They leave the steel part. They do not want it anymore. They learned a lesson. They will not take things that are not theirs. They will play with their own cars and trucks. They are still friends. +Lily loved her parrot, Max. He was blue and green and could say many words. Lily taught him to say "hello", "goodbye", "please" and "thank you". She also taught him some funny words, like "banana" and "pickle". + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. They took Max with them in his cage. Lily wanted to show Max to her friends. She was very proud of him. She put his cage on a bench and opened the door. She said, "Max, say hello to my friends!" + +But Max did not say hello. He said something else. He said, "Lily is a silly goose!" He said it very loud. Everyone heard him. Lily's friends laughed. Lily was very embarrassed. She did not teach Max to say that. She wondered who did. + +She looked at her mom. Her mom looked guilty. She had a smile on her face. She said, "Sorry, Lily. I taught Max that as a joke. I did not think he would say it in public. He is a very smart parrot." + +Lily was still embarrassed, but she also thought it was a little funny. She said, "It's okay, mom. But please don't teach Max any more jokes. He might say them at the wrong time." + +She closed Max's cage and gave him a treat. She said, "Max, I love you, but you are a naughty parrot. Please be nice to me and my friends." + +Max looked at her and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. But I still like bananas and pickles." + +Lily and her mom laughed. They hugged Max and each other. They decided to rush home and have some bananas and pickles for lunch. They hoped Max would not say anything else embarrassing on the way. +Lily wanted to go to the beach with her mom and dad. She was very excited to play in the sand and splash in the water. She packed her bucket, her shovel, and her hat in her backpack. But she forgot one thing: her towel. + +When they got to the beach, Lily realized she had no towel to dry herself after swimming. She felt sad and cold. She asked her mom and dad if they had an extra towel for her. But they only had one towel each, and they needed them too. + +Lily saw a shop near the beach that sold towels and other things. She had some money in her piggy bank at home. She thought she could buy a towel for herself. She told her mom and dad that she wanted to be independent and buy her own towel. They agreed, but they told her to be careful and stay close to them. + +Lily walked to the shop with her mom and dad. She looked at the different towels on display. She saw a pink one with a unicorn on it. She liked it very much. She asked the shopkeeper how much it was. He said it was five dollars. Lily counted her money. She had six dollars. She had enough to buy the towel. + +Lily gave the shopkeeper five dollars and took the towel. She was very happy and proud. She thanked the shopkeeper and ran back to her mom and dad. They praised her for being independent and smart. They hugged her and gave her a kiss. Lily wrapped herself in her new towel and smiled. She learned that it was good to be independent, but also to ask for help when she needed it. She enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach with her mom and dad. +Anna loved to fly. She had big wings that could lift her up in the air. She liked to soar over the trees and the fields and feel the wind on her face. She felt free and happy when she flew. + +But her parent did not like her to fly. Her parent said flying was dangerous and bad. Her parent said she should stay on the ground and be like other children. Her parent was harsh and angry when she saw Anna flying. + +One day, Anna flew too far and too high. She saw a big cloud that looked like a castle. She wanted to see what was inside. She flew towards the cloud and entered it. But the cloud was not a castle. It was wet and cold and dark. Anna could not see anything. She was scared and lost. + +She cried out, "Parent, parent, where are you? I want to go home!" + +Her parent heard her cry. Her parent was worried and sorry. Her parent flew after her and found her in the cloud. Her parent hugged her and said, "Anna, I'm here. I'm sorry I was harsh. I love you and I want you to be safe. But I also want you to be happy. You can fly, but not too far and not too high. Will you promise me that?" + +Anna nodded and said, "I promise, parent. I love you too. Thank you for finding me." + +Her parent smiled and said, "Let's go home, Anna. We can fly together." + +They flew out of the cloud and back to the ground. They were both happy and free. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to feed the chickens, pet the cows, and ride the horses. But they did not like the mule. The mule was big and mean. He would kick and bite and make loud noises. Sara and Tom were afraid of the mule. + +One day, Sara and Tom wanted to play a trick on the mule. They found a big stick and a red cloth. They thought they could make the mule angry and run away. They sneaked behind the mule and waved the red cloth. The mule saw the red cloth and got very upset. He turned around and saw Sara and Tom with the stick. He thought they wanted to hurt him. + +The mule ran towards Sara and Tom. He opened his mouth and showed his teeth. He wanted to bite them. Sara and Tom were scared. They dropped the stick and the cloth and ran away. But the mule was faster. He caught up with Tom and struck him with his hoof. Tom fell to the ground and cried. Sara saw Tom and cried too. + +The farmer heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw the mule, the stick, the cloth, and the children. He understood what happened. He was angry with Sara and Tom. He said, "You should not play tricks on the mule. He is not a toy. He is a working animal. He does not like to be bothered. You are lucky he did not hurt you more. You should say sorry to the mule and to me." + +Sara and Tom felt bad. They said sorry to the mule and to the farmer. They learned their lesson. They never played tricks on the mule again. They were more careful and respectful with the animals on the farm. They still liked to play, but they did not make anyone upset. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a big teddy bear, a small doll, and a yellow ball. She liked to hug her teddy bear, dress up her doll, and bounce her ball. But sometimes, she was not very nice to her toys. She would pull their ears, throw them on the floor, or forget to put them away. + +One day, Lily was playing with her teddy bear. She wanted to make him look funny, so she put a hat on his head, a scarf around his neck, and some glasses on his nose. She laughed and said, "You look silly, teddy bear!" Then she rubbed his nose hard with her hand. The teddy bear felt sad and hurt. He wished Lily would be gentle with him. + +The next day, Lily woke up with a red and runny nose. She felt sick and sore. She sneezed and coughed. She wanted to play with her toys, but they were all in a corner, looking sad and dirty. She tried to hug her teddy bear, but he turned away from her. She tried to dress up her doll, but she dropped her. She tried to bounce her ball, but it rolled away from her. She felt lonely and sorry. + +She realized that she had been mean to her toys. She said, "I'm sorry, teddy bear, doll, and ball. I was not a good friend to you. I should have been kind and careful with you. You are my toys, and I love you. Please forgive me." She rubbed her nose softly with a tissue. She picked up her teddy bear, her doll, and her ball. She cleaned them, brushed them, and hugged them. She said, "You are all very soft and nice. Thank you for being my toys. I will be a good friend to you from now on." + +The teddy bear, the doll, and the ball felt happy and loved. They forgave Lily and played with her. Lily felt better and smiled. She learned that she should treat others the way she wanted to be treated. She learned that being kind and gentle was better than being mean and rough. She learned that rubbing noses softly was nicer than rubbing noses hard. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had stored there, like books, clothes, and toys. One day, they found a big trunk that was locked with a key. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it has treasure!" Tom said. + +"Or maybe it has magic!" Lily said. + +They looked around for the key, but they could not find it. They tried to open the trunk with their hands, but it was too hard. They felt sad and frustrated. + +"Let's ask grandma for the key," Tom suggested. + +"Okay," Lily agreed. + +They ran downstairs to find their grandma, who was baking cookies in the kitchen. They told her about the trunk and asked her for the key. + +"Ah, the trunk," grandma said. "That was my mother's trunk. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. She told me it had something very special inside, but I had to believe in it to see it." + +"What is it, grandma?" Tom and Lily asked. + +Grandma smiled and took out a small key from her pocket. She gave it to Tom and Lily and said, "Why don't you go and find out for yourselves? But remember, you have to believe in it to see it." + +Tom and Lily thanked their grandma and ran back to the attic. They inserted the key into the lock and turned it. The trunk opened with a click. They looked inside and gasped. + +The trunk was full of colorful feathers, glittering jewels, and soft fabrics. They also saw a pair of wings, a crown, and a wand. They felt a warm and happy feeling in their hearts. + +"Wow!" Tom said. + +"Wow!" Lily said. + +They touched the feathers, the jewels, and the fabrics. They felt like they were in a fairy tale. They put on the wings, the crown, and the wand. They felt like they could fly. + +"Look, we are fairies!" Tom said. + +"Look, we can do magic!" Lily said. + +They waved their wand and made the attic sparkle with light. They flapped their wings and flew around the room. They laughed and played and had fun. + +They believed in the trunk and it showed them something very special. They also believed in themselves and each other. They were compassionate twins who shared their joy and wonder. They were happy and grateful for their grandma and her gift. They were the best of friends. +Lily wanted to give her dad a present for his birthday. She found a toy car in her room that she did not play with anymore. She thought her dad would like it because he liked cars. She decided to wrap the car with some paper and tape. + +She asked her mom for help. "Mom, can you help me wrap this car for dad?" she said. + +"Sure, Lily, that's very sweet of you. What kind of paper do you want to use?" her mom said. + +Lily looked at the paper. There was red paper, blue paper, and yellow paper. She liked the yellow paper because it was bright and happy. She picked the yellow paper and gave it to her mom. + +Her mom cut the paper and helped Lily wrap the car. They put some tape on the edges and made a bow with a ribbon. Lily was very proud of her present. She wrote "To Dad, from Lily" on a card and stuck it on the paper. + +She hid the present under her bed and waited for her dad to come home. She wanted to surprise him and make him happy. + +But when her dad came home, he was not happy. He looked tired and sad. He said he had a bad day at work. He said his boss was angry with him and his car broke down on the way home. He said he needed some rest and went to his room. + +Lily felt sad too. She wanted to cheer up her dad, but she did not know how. She thought maybe he would like her present, but she did not want to bother him. She wondered what to do. + +She decided to wait until he felt better. She hoped he would like her present and smile. She loved her dad very much. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big tent in the park. They hear music and laughter. They want to see what is inside. + +"Can we go, mom? Can we go, dad?" they ask. + +"Sure, let's go see the show," mom says. + +They buy tickets and enter the tent. They see many people sitting on chairs. They see a big ring in the middle. They see lights and colors. They are excited. + +They sit on their chairs and wait for the show to start. They see a man with a funny hat and a red nose. He is a clown. He makes funny faces and noises. He makes the people laugh. Anna and Ben laugh too. + +The clown sees Anna and Ben. He smiles and waves at them. He walks to them and gives them a balloon. He says, "Hello, little ones. Do you like the show?" + +"Yes, we do. You are funny," Anna says. + +"Thank you. Do you want to see a trick?" the clown says. + +"Yes, please," Ben says. + +The clown says, "OK, watch this." He puts the balloon on his head. He makes a loud pop. The balloon bursts. He pretends to be scared. He crawls under their chairs. He tickles their feet. Anna and Ben giggle and squirm. + +The clown comes out from under the chairs. He says, "Did you like that?" + +"Yes, we did. You are silly," Anna says.
