+They got on a boat and sailed away. The boat had a big net to catch fish. Sara and Ben looked at the water and hoped to see a dolphin. They saw many fish, but no dolphins.
+
+Then, they heard a loud splash. A dolphin jumped out of the water and made a noise. Sara and Ben clapped and laughed. The dolphin did it again and again. It was playing with them.
+
+But then, the dolphin got too close to the boat. It got stuck in the net. The dolphin was scared and hurt. It made a sad noise. Sara and Ben were sad too. They wanted to help the dolphin.
+
+Mom and Dad called the boat man. The boat man was clumsy. He tried to cut the net with a knife, but he dropped it in the water. He said sorry and looked for another knife.
+
+Sara had an idea. She had scissors in her backpack. She gave them to the boat man. The boat man smiled and thanked her. He used the scissors to cut the net. The dolphin was free. It made a happy noise. It jumped out of the water and waved its tail. Sara and Ben waved back. The dolphin was their friend.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They live in a big city with many cars and buildings. They do not like the city. It is noisy and dirty. They want to see the country.
+
+One day, their mom and dad take them to the country. They drive for a long time. They see green fields and cows and sheep. They see blue sky and white clouds. They are happy.
+
+They stop at a farm. They meet a farmer and his dog. The farmer is nice. He lets them feed the animals and ride the tractor. The dog is friendly. He plays with them and licks their faces.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad!" Lily and Ben say. "The country is so pretty and clean. We love the country. Can we stay here?"
+
+Mom and dad smile. They gaze at their children. They are proud of them. They hug them and say, "We love the country too. But we have to go back to the city soon. The city is our home. Maybe we can come back to the country another day."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They thank the farmer and his dog. They say goodbye to the animals and the tractor. They get in the car. They wave to the country. They are sad, but they are also happy. They have seen the country. They have had a fun day. They have learned something new.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big animal with a horn on its nose. It was a rhinoceros. They wanted to pet it, but it was behind a fence.
+
+"Can we go and touch it?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, we can't. It is not available. It is too dangerous," Ben said.
+
+"But it looks so soft and nice. Maybe it is friendly," Lily said.
+
+She tried to climb the fence, but Ben pulled her back.
+
+"Stop, Lily! You are being silly. The rhinoceros might hurt you. It might seem nice, but it is not. It is wild and strong. It can run fast and poke you with its horn. You have to listen to me. I am your big brother," Ben said.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Ben telling her what to do. She wanted to see the rhinoceros up close. She thought Ben was being mean and scared.
+
+"Fine, I don't want to play with you anymore. You are a bad brother. I will find another friend who will let me pet the rhinoceros," Lily said.
+
+She ran away from Ben and looked for someone else to play with. But no one was available. Everyone was busy or gone. Lily felt lonely and sorry. She wished she had not been so stubborn and rude to Ben. She realized he was only trying to protect her and care for her. She missed him and wanted to say sorry.
+
+She ran back to Ben and hugged him.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. You are a good brother. I was wrong. I don't want to pet the rhinoceros anymore. I want to play with you," Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled and hugged her back.
+
+"I am sorry, too, Lily. You are a good sister. I was harsh. I don't want to lose you. I want to play with you, too," Ben said.
+
+They made up and played together. They looked at the rhinoceros from a safe distance and learned more about it. They had fun and were happy. They loved each other.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a small patch of soil where they plant seeds. They water the seeds every day and watch them grow.
+
+One day, they see a new plant in their patch. It is not like the other plants. It has big leaves and purple flowers. It grows very fast and takes up a lot of space.
+
+"Wow, look at this plant!" Sara says. "It is so pretty and wild!"
+
+"Where did it come from?" Ben asks. "We did not plant it."
+
+They ask their mom about the plant. She tells them it is a weed. A weed is a plant that grows where it is not wanted. It can make the other plants sick or crowded.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara and Ben say. "We do not want a weed in our patch. We want our plants to be healthy and happy."
+
+They decide to pull out the weed. They put on their gloves and grab the stem. They pull hard, but the weed does not come out. It has strong roots in the soil.
+
+"Help me, Sara!" Ben says. "This weed is too tough!"
+
+Sara helps Ben pull the weed. They pull and pull until the weed comes out. They see a big hole in the soil where the weed was.
+
+They throw the weed in the trash. They fill the hole with more soil. They pat the soil gently and say sorry to their plants.
+
+"There, that is better," Sara says. "Now our plants have more room to grow."
+
+"Yes, and no more weeds," Ben says. "We will take good care of our patch."
+
+They smile and hug each other. They are proud of their garden. They water their plants and watch them grow.
+Sara was very tired. She had played all day with her toys, her books and her cat. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to do one more thing.
+
+"Mommy, I'm sleepy. Can I go to bed now?" she asked.
+
+"Not yet, Sara. You have to brush your teeth and wash your face first. You want to be clean and healthy, right?" Mommy said.
+
+Sara nodded. She knew that brushing her teeth and washing her face were good for her. She followed Mommy to the bathroom and did what she had to do. She liked the minty taste of the toothpaste and the warm water on her face.
+
+"Good girl, Sara. Now you are clean and ready for bed. Let's go to your room and read a story," Mommy said.
+
+Sara smiled. She loved stories. She ran to her room and picked her favorite book. It was about a princess and a dragon. Mommy tucked her in and read the book to her. Sara listened and imagined the princess and the dragon. She yawned again and felt her stomach growl.
+
+"Mommy, I'm hungry. Can I have a snack?" she asked.
+
+"Sorry, Sara. It's too late for a snack. You had dinner already. You can have breakfast in the morning. Try to sleep now, okay?" Mommy said.
+
+Sara pouted. She wanted a snack. But she was also very sleepy. She closed her eyes and hugged her teddy bear. She felt Mommy kiss her forehead and whisper "I love you".
+
+"I love you too, Mommy. Good night," she said.
+
+"Good night, Sara. Sweet dreams," Mommy said.
+
+Sara fell asleep and dreamed of the princess and the dragon. She was happy and warm. She did not yawn or feel her stomach anymore. She was clean and cozy. She was a good girl.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to build houses with twigs and leaves. They found a big pile of twigs near a tree and started to make a wall.
+
+But then a big boy came. He was older and taller than them. He had a mean face and a loud voice. He said, "These are my twigs. Go away!"
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They did not want to fight. They said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We will find other twigs."
+
+But the big boy did not listen. He kicked their wall and threw their twigs. He laughed and said, "You are silly. You can't make houses with twigs. Twigs are for birds."
+
+Lila and Ben ran away. They felt sad and angry. They looked for a new place to play.
+
+They saw a distant hill with a lot of flowers. They ran to the hill and saw a small bird. The bird was building a nest with twigs and leaves. The bird saw them and said, "Hello. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Lila and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, we do. We like to build houses with twigs. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The bird nodded. He said, "Of course. You are welcome. I need more twigs and leaves. Can you find some for me?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, we can. We will be back soon."
+
+They ran to find more twigs and leaves. They were happy. They had a new friend. They did not care about the big boy. He was mean and lonely. They were kind and friendly. They liked to build houses with twigs.
+Lily and Max were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Lily found a big shell that was shiny and smooth. She showed it to Max and said, "Look, Max, I found a pretty shell!"
+
+Max wanted to see the shell too. He reached out his hand to take it from Lily. But Lily did not want to share. She pulled the shell away and said, "No, Max, it's mine! I found it first!"
+
+Max was sad and angry. He tried to grab the shell again, but Lily ran away. She ran towards the water, where the waves were crashing. She did not see the wet rock that was in her way. She stepped on the rock and slipped. She fell down and dropped the shell. The shell rolled into the water and was gone.
+
+Lily cried and cried. She hurt her knee and lost her shell. She wished she had shared with Max. Max ran to Lily and helped her up. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, too, Max. I was mean to you. I should have let you see the shell."
+
+Max hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. We can find another shell. Come on, let's go back to the sand. Maybe we can find a tough shell that won't break."
+Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big fountain with water. The water goes up and down and makes a nice sound. Tom and Mia run to the fountain and laugh.
+
+"Look, Mia, the water is so pretty!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom, it is. Can we touch it?" Mia asks.
+
+Tom nods and reaches out his hand. He feels the water on his fingers. It is cold and wet. He likes it. He splashes some water on Mia. Mia squeals and splashes back. They have fun.
+
+But then they see a man. He is bald and angry. He walks to the fountain and shouts at them.
+
+"Hey, you kids, stop that! You are making a mess! You are scattering water everywhere!" he says.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They stop splashing and look at the man. He has no hair on his head. He looks mean.
+
+"Sorry, sir, we didn't mean to," Tom says.
+
+"Go away, now, or I will call your parents!" the man says.
+
+Tom and Mia run away from the fountain. They hold hands and look for their mom. They are sad. They don't like the bald man. They like the water. They wish they could play more.
+Ben likes to exercise. He likes to run and jump and play. He has a big ball that he can push with his feet. He likes to push the ball and chase it. He thinks it is fun.
+
+One day, Ben sees a new girl in the park. She has a small ball that she can throw with her hands. She likes to throw the ball and catch it. She thinks it is fun.
+
+Ben wants to play with the new girl. He runs to her and says hello. He asks her if she wants to push his big ball. The new girl says no. She says she likes her small ball better. She says she is ready to throw and catch.
+
+Ben feels sad. He likes his big ball. He thinks it is better than the small ball. He does not want to throw and catch. He wants to push and chase.
+
+He decides to show the new girl how fun his big ball is. He takes his big ball and pushes it hard. He pushes it so hard that it hits the new girl. The new girl falls down and cries. She drops her small ball.
+
+Ben feels bad. He did not mean to hurt the new girl. He says sorry. He helps her get up. He picks up her small ball and gives it to her. He asks her if she is okay.
+
+The new girl stops crying. She says she is okay. She says thank you. She looks at Ben's big ball. She says it looks fun. She asks him if he wants to play with her. She says they can take turns. They can push and chase and throw and catch.
+
+Ben feels happy. He says yes. He says that sounds fun. He says he is ready to play. He smiles at the new girl. The new girl smiles back. They become friends. They exercise together. They have fun.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They have a fish named Bob. Bob lives in a tank in their room. They like to watch Bob swim and play.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Lily and Tom, you need to clean Bob's tank. It is dirty and smelly. Bob will be unhappy if you don't."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They get a bucket, a sponge and a net. They put some water in the bucket. They use the net to catch Bob and put him in the bucket. They say, "Don't worry, Bob. We will be quick."
+
+They use the sponge to scrub the tank. They throw away the old water and the dirt. They fill the tank with fresh water. They put some plants and rocks in the tank. They say, "Look, Bob. Your tank is clean and pretty. You will like it."
+
+They use the net to put Bob back in the tank. Bob swims around and looks happy. He blows some bubbles. Lily and Tom smile. They say, "We love you, Bob. You are a good fish."
+
+Mom comes in and sees the tank. She says, "Wow, Lily and Tom. You did a great job. You are very good at cleaning. Bob is lucky to have you."
+
+Lily and Tom hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We are happy to help. We are not spoiled. We are good twins."
+Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She only had her toys and her books. She liked to read books about faraway places and people. She liked to imagine she was there with them.
+
+One day, she found a book about a boat. The boat was big and white. It had many rows of seats. People sat on the seats and used sticks to move the boat on the water. They wore funny hats and clothes. They sang songs and laughed. Anna wanted to be on the boat.
+
+She took her toy boat and put it in the bathtub. She filled the tub with water. She took some of her dolls and stuffed animals and put them on the boat. She gave them names and voices. She pretended they were the people on the book boat.
+
+"Hello, I'm Anna," she said to a doll with red hair. "What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Molly," the doll said in a high voice. "I'm happy to meet you. Do you want to sit with me on the row?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna said. She moved the doll and herself to a row of seats. She took two spoons and used them as sticks. She made the boat move on the water.
+
+"Let's sing a song," Molly said. "Do you know this one?"
+
+She started to sing a song Anna knew from the book. Anna joined in. They sang and laughed. The other dolls and animals sang and laughed too. Anna was not lonely anymore. She was having fun. She imagined she was on the book boat.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of tops in the attic. Tops are toys that spin and make noise.
+
+"Look, Mia, tops!" Tom says. He picks up a blue top and uses his hand to make it spin on the floor. "This is fun!"
+
+Mia nods and picks up a red top. She tries to spin it, but it falls down. She tries again, but it falls down again. She feels unhappy.
+
+"Tom, can I use your top?" Mia asks. "My top does not spin well."
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, Mia, this is my top. You have your own top. Go away!"
+
+Mia feels sad and angry. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. She walks away and finds a big pillow. She sits on the pillow and hugs it. The pillow is soft and warm. She feels better.
+
+Tom spins his top again and again. He feels happy at first, but then he feels bored. He looks around and sees Mia on the pillow. She looks cozy and calm. He feels lonely and uncomfortable.
+
+"Mia, can I sit with you?" Tom asks. "I am sorry I was mean to you. Can we share the tops?"
+
+Mia smiles and nods. She moves over and makes room for Tom on the pillow. She gives him the red top and takes the blue top. They spin the tops together and watch them make noise. They feel happy and friendly. They are friends again.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom says. He pulls the box with his hands.
+
+"No, wait!" Lily says. She is scared. "Maybe there is something bad inside. Maybe it will bite us."
+
+Tom does not understand. He thinks Lily is silly. He wants to see what is inside. He opens the box with his finger. He looks inside.
+
+"Wow!" Tom says. He smiles. "Look, Lily, it is a puppy! A cute and playful puppy!"
+
+Lily comes closer. She sees the puppy. It is brown and fluffy. It wags its tail. It licks Tom's face.
+
+"Hi, puppy!" Lily says. She is not scared anymore. She is happy. She pets the puppy with her finger. The puppy likes it.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Tom asks. He loves the puppy.
+
+"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe we should ask our moms."
+
+They decide to take the puppy home. They hope their moms will let them keep it. They walk together, holding the box. The puppy barks. Tom and Lily laugh. They are happy. They have a new friend.
+Tom is a small boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a lot of cars, trucks, and trains that he can zoom around the floor. One day, his uncle comes to visit him. His uncle is very big and tall, and he has a beard and glasses.
+
+"Hello, Tom," his uncle says. "Do you want to show me your toys?"
+
+Tom nods and runs to his room. He brings his uncle his favorite train, a red one with a whistle. He puts it on the floor and pushes it to his uncle.
+
+"Look, uncle, this is my train. It can go fast and make noise. Do you want to play with it?" Tom asks.
+
+His uncle smiles and picks up the train. He tries to make it go, but he is too big and clumsy. He drops the train and it breaks. The whistle falls off and the wheels come loose.
+
+"Oh, no!" Tom cries. "You broke my train! That was my best toy! I don't like you, uncle!"
+
+His uncle feels sorry and hugs Tom. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to break your train. I was just trying to play with you. I know you love your train. Can we fix it together?"
+
+Tom is still sad and angry. He pushes his uncle away and says, "No, you can't fix it. You don't know how. You are too big and bad. Go away, uncle!"
+
+His uncle is sad and hurt. He says, "Tom, I love you. I'm not bad. I just made a mistake. Please forgive me. Can we be friends?"
+
+Tom looks at his uncle and sees his sad eyes. He remembers that his uncle is nice and gives him candy and books. He feels a little sorry for his uncle. He says, "Maybe we can be friends. But you have to be careful with my toys. They are small and fragile. And you have to help me fix my train. Can you do that?"
+
+His uncle nods and says, "Yes, Tom. I can do that. I'm sorry I broke your train. I will help you fix it. And I will be careful with your toys. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+Tom smiles and hugs his uncle. He says, "You're welcome, uncle. I love you too. Let's go and fix my train."
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big axe that their dad gave them to chop wood. They knew they had to be careful with the axe, because it was sharp and heavy. But they also liked to pretend they were knights and warriors, and use the axe as a sword.
+
+One day, they found a big tree that had fallen down. They decided to chop it into pieces and make a fort. Tom took the axe and swung it hard at the tree. But he missed and hit a rock instead. There was a loud clang and the axe broke in half. Tom was scared and sad. He did not know what to do.
+
+He ran to Sam and showed him the broken axe. Sam was angry and scared too. He knew their dad would be mad if he saw the broken axe. He told Tom they had to hide it and not tell anyone. They dug a hole under some leaves and buried the broken axe. Then they ran back to their house and hoped no one would find out.
+
+But their dad was smarter than they thought. He noticed that the axe was missing from the shed. He asked Tom and Sam where it was. They lied and said they did not know. Their dad did not believe them. He told them to follow him to the woods. He had seen the chopped tree and the rock with a mark from the axe. He found the hole under the leaves and dug up the broken axe. He was very angry and disappointed.
+
+He told Tom and Sam that they had done a bad thing. They had broken his axe and lied to him. He said they had to work hard to fix the axe and the tree. He also said they had to say sorry and learn to be honest and careful. Tom and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They nodded and hugged their dad. They learned their lesson and never played with the axe again.
+Tom and Mia are friends who like to play in the pool. They have a big cube that floats on the water. The cube is red and blue and has numbers on each side.
+
+"Let's dive for the cube!" Tom says. He is enthusiastic and loves to swim. He jumps into the water and goes under. He grabs the cube and comes up. He shows Mia the number on the cube. It is six.
+
+"Wow, good job, Tom!" Mia says. She is also enthusiastic and wants to try. She jumps into the water and goes under. She looks for the cube, but she cannot find it. She comes up and sees Tom holding the cube. He is smiling.
+
+"Here, Mia, you can have the cube!" Tom says. He is kind and likes to share. He throws the cube to Mia. She catches it and shows Tom the number on the cube. It is four.
+
+"Thank you, Tom!" Mia says. She is happy and grateful. She throws the cube back to Tom. They take turns diving for the cube and showing each other the numbers. They have fun and learn to count.
+Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play outside and run and jump. One day, they see a big hill with rocks and dirt. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Tim, let's go up the hill!" Sam says. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK, Sam, but be careful. The rocks are sharp and the dirt is loose." Tim says. He follows Sam up the hill.
+
+They climb and climb, but the hill is very steep and high. Sam slips on a rock and falls down. He hurts his knee and it bleeds. He cries out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! My knee hurts so much!" Sam says. He holds his knee and looks at the blood.
+
+Tim hears Sam and runs to him. He sees Sam's knee and feels sorry for him. He wants to help him.
+
+"Don't cry, Sam. I'm here. You are tough, you can do this." Tim says. He takes off his shirt and wraps it around Sam's knee. He makes a bandage for him.
+
+"Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. You are brave and kind." Sam says. He smiles a little and stops crying.
+
+Tim helps Sam stand up and they walk down the hill together. They go to Sam's house and show his mom his knee. She cleans it and puts a new bandage on it. She gives them cookies and milk and hugs them.
+
+"You boys are very lucky. You have each other. You trust each other and take care of each other. That's what friends do." She says.
+
+Tim and Sam nod and smile. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They are happy. They are best friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to make things with their toys and blankets. They decided to make a big armchair with pillows and a sheet.
+
+"Look, this is our armchair!" Lily said. "We can sit here and read books or watch TV."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked the armchair. He found a book with pictures of animals and opened it. "Do you know what this is?" he asked Lily, pointing to a picture of a tiger.
+
+Lily looked at the book. She saw the tiger's orange and black fur and sharp teeth. "That is a tiger," she said. "It is big and strong and lives in the jungle."
+
+Tom smiled. He turned the page and saw another picture. "And this?" he asked, pointing to a picture of a chili pepper.
+
+Lily looked at the picture. She saw the red and green pepper with a stem. "That is a chili pepper," she said. "It is spicy and makes your mouth hot."
+
+Tom made a face. He did not like spicy food. He closed the book and put it away. "Let's watch TV instead," he said.
+
+Lily agreed. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV. They saw a show with funny puppets and songs. They laughed and sang along. They were happy in their armchair.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy planes. They pretended to be pilots and flew around the room. They made loud noises and had fun.
+
+One day, they found a big plane in the garage. It was their dad's plane. He was a real pilot and he flew to faraway places. Ben and Mia wanted to see the plane. They climbed inside and looked at the buttons and levers.
+
+"Let's act like we are flying!" Ben said. He pushed a button and the plane started to make a noise. "Wow, this is cool!" Mia said. She pulled a lever and the plane moved a little.
+
+"Stop, stop!" a voice shouted. It was their dad. He ran to the plane and tried to open the door. But it was locked. He banged on the window and yelled at Ben and Mia. "Get out of there! You are in danger!"
+
+Ben and Mia were fearful. They did not know what to do. They pushed and pulled more buttons and levers. The plane rolled faster and faster. It crashed into the fence and broke. Ben and Mia were hurt. Their dad was sad and angry. He called for help. He wished he had never left the plane in the garage.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. They were having a lot of fun. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like big dogs.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran away from the dog. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They ran to the tree and crawled inside the hole. They hoped the dog would not find them.
+
+They paused and listened. They heard the dog sniffing and growling outside the tree. They hugged each other and whispered.
+
+"Shh, don't make any noise," Ben said.
+
+"I want to go home," Lily said.
+
+"Me too," Ben said.
+
+They waited and waited. They wished the dog would go away. They wished their mom and dad would come and get them.
+
+Then they heard a familiar voice. It was their mom. She was calling their names.
+
+"Lily, Ben, where are you?" she said.
+
+They peeked out of the hole. They saw their mom walking towards the tree. They also saw the dog. The dog was not barking anymore. He was wagging his tail and licking their mom's hand. He was their mom's friend.
+
+"Lily, Ben, come out, come out," their mom said. "This is Max. He is a nice dog. He just wanted to play with you."
+
+Lily and Ben crawled out of the hole. They were surprised and happy. They ran to their mom and hugged her. They also petted Max. He was soft and warm. He licked their faces and made them laugh.
+
+"Sorry, mom, we were scared of Max," Lily said.
+
+"It's okay, sweetie, I understand," their mom said. "But Max is a good dog. He won't hurt you. He likes children. He is amazing."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at Max. He looked at them with his big brown eyes. He wagged his tail and barked softly.
+
+"Can we play with Max, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" their mom said. "But be gentle and careful. And don't run away from him. He likes to chase you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They smiled and thanked their mom. They played with Max in the sunshine. They were not scared anymore. They were having a lot of fun.
+Lily likes to play with her shoes. She has many shoes of different colors and sizes. She likes to put them on and pretend she is a big girl. Sometimes she puts on her mom's shoes, but they are too big and she falls down.
+
+One day, Lily finds a shoe that is very different. It is red and shiny and has a big bow on it. Lily thinks it is a pretty shoe and she wants to try it on. She puts it on her foot and tries to stand up. But the shoe is not a normal shoe. It is a clown shoe and it is very big and floppy. Lily cannot stand up with the shoe. She falls down and bumps her head.
+
+Lily starts to cry. She does not like the shoe. She thinks it is a stupid shoe. She takes it off and throws it away. She runs to her mom and hugs her. Her mom kisses her head and says, "It's okay, Lily. That shoe is not for you. It is for clowns. Clowns wear silly shoes to make people laugh. But you don't have to wear them. You have your own shoes that fit you well and make you happy."
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She says, "I love you, mom. And I love my shoes. But not the stupid clown shoe." Her mom laughs and says, "I love you too, Lily. And I love your shoes too. But not the stupid clown shoe either." They hug and go to play with Lily's shoes. They have fun and forget about the clown shoe.
+Tom and Anna like to go to the park with Mom. They see many ducks in the pond. The ducks are brown, white and black. But one duck is orange. Tom and Anna think the orange duck is funny.
+
+"Look, Mom, an orange duck!" Tom says.
+
+"Where?" Mom asks.
+
+"There, near the big rock!" Anna points.
+
+Mom sees the orange duck. She smiles. "That is a special duck. It is a Mandarin duck. It came from far away."
+
+Tom and Anna want to feed the orange duck. They have some bread. They break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces into the pond. The ducks swim to the bread. The orange duck swims fast. It wants the bread too.
+
+But then, something happens. The orange duck gets too close to the big rock. It does not see the rock. It hits the rock with its head. It falls into the water. Splash!
+
+"Oh no, the orange duck!" Tom cries.
+
+"Is it okay?" Anna asks.
+
+Mom and the children watch the pond. They are worried. They hope the orange duck is not hurt.
+
+But soon, they see the orange duck again. It comes out of the water. It shakes its feathers. It quacks. It looks fine.
+
+"Phew, the orange duck is okay!" Tom says.
+
+"It is a brave duck!" Anna says.
+
+The orange duck swims to the children. It takes a piece of bread from Tom's hand. It eats the bread. It quacks again. It seems to say thank you.
+
+The children smile. They are happy. They like the orange duck. They give it more bread. They make a new friend.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the woods. They knew the woods well and were not afraid of the animals. One day, they saw a big wolf lying on the ground. He looked hurt and sad.
+
+"Hello, wolf," Tom said. "Why are you here? Are you okay?"
+
+The wolf lifted his head and growled softly. He had a thorn in his paw and it hurt a lot. He could not walk or hunt. He was hungry and lonely.
+
+"Please, help me," the wolf said. "Take out the thorn and I will be your friend. I will not hurt you. You can trust me."
+
+Anna was scared of the wolf. She thought he might bite them or chase them. She wanted to run away and hide. But Tom was brave and kind. He wanted to help the wolf. He went closer and reached for the thorn.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Anna said. "He might be lying. He might be a bad wolf."
+
+Tom shook his head. He looked into the wolf's eyes and saw that he was telling the truth. He pulled out the thorn and the wolf sighed with relief. He licked Tom's hand and wagged his tail.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," the wolf said. "You are a good boy. You have a big heart. I am glad you helped me. I will not forget you. I will be your friend."
+
+Tom smiled and hugged the wolf. He was glad he helped him too. He felt happy and proud. He looked at Anna and said, "See, Anna? He is not a bad wolf. He is a good wolf. You can trust him too. Come and pet him. He will not hurt you."
+
+Anna was still scared, but she saw that Tom and the wolf were happy. She wanted to be happy too. She took a step forward and touched the wolf's fur. It was soft and warm. The wolf licked her hand and wagged his tail.
+
+"Hello, Anna," the wolf said. "You are a good girl. You have a brave brother. I am glad you came. I will be your friend too."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged the wolf. She was glad she came too. She felt safe and loved. She looked at Tom and said, "You were right, Tom. He is not a bad wolf. He is a good wolf. I trust him too. He is our friend."
+
+The end.
+Lily was sick. She had a sore throat and a cough. Mommy gave her a pill to make her feel better. But the pill was big and hard. Lily did not want to swallow it.
+
+"Mommy, I don't like the pill. It is too big. It hurts my mouth," Lily said.
+
+"I know, sweetie. But the pill will help you get well. You need to take it," Mommy said.
+
+"Can you cut the pill, Mommy? Make it smaller?" Lily asked.
+
+Mommy shook her head. "No, Lily. I can't cut the pill. It is not safe. The pill has to be whole. If you cut it, it will not work."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not understand. How could a pill work if it was too big to swallow?
+
+Mommy had an idea. She got a spoon and a jar of honey. She put some honey on the spoon and dipped the pill in it. She gave it to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily. Try this. The honey will make the pill sweet and slippery. It will go down easier. And the honey is good for your throat, too," Mommy said.
+
+Lily looked at the spoon. She saw the pill covered in honey. She smelled the honey. It was yummy. She opened her mouth and took the spoon. She felt the pill slide down her throat. It did not hurt. It was sweet.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked the honey. She licked the spoon. She gave Mommy a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy. The pill was not so bad. The honey was good. I love you, Mommy," Lily said.
+
+"I love you, too, Lily. You are a brave girl. Now, let's go to bed. You need to rest. Tomorrow, you will feel better," Mommy said.
+
+Mommy took Lily to her room. She tucked her in her bed. She gave her a kiss. She turned on the night light. She left the door open.
+
+Lily closed her eyes. She felt warm and cozy. She hoped the pill would make her well. She dreamed of honey and flowers. She slept well.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. Lily wanted to touch it, but Max said no.
+
+"That is my caterpillar. I saw it first. Go away!" Max said.
+
+"No, it is mine. I like it. It is pretty. Let me see!" Lily said.
+
+They both reached for the caterpillar. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The caterpillar was scared. It curled up into a ball.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" a voice said. It was Mom. She came to the garden. She saw Lily and Max fighting. She saw the caterpillar on the leaf.
+
+"What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" Mom asked.
+
+They both stopped. They looked at Mom. They looked at the caterpillar.
+
+"We want the caterpillar. It is ours. We found it." Lily and Max said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up the caterpillar gently. She showed it to Lily and Max.
+
+"This is not your caterpillar. This is a living thing. It has feelings. It does not like to be fought over. It wants to be free. It wants to eat and grow and change. Do you know what it will become?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Max shook their heads. They did not know.
+
+"It will become a butterfly. A beautiful butterfly with wings. It will fly and play and make friends. But it needs time and space and peace. Can you give it that?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They felt sorry for the caterpillar. They did not want to hurt it. They wanted to see it become a butterfly.
+
+"OK, then. Let's put it back on the leaf. Let's watch it from a distance. Let's be quiet and gentle. Maybe we will be lucky and see it change someday. Would you like that?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They said yes. They put the caterpillar back on the leaf. They thanked Mom. They hugged each other. They decided to share and be friends. They watched the caterpillar from a distance. They hoped to see it become a butterfly. They were lucky. They learned a lesson.
+Sam and Mia like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They also like to splash in the sea. The sea is big and blue and wet.
+
+One day, they see a fish in the sea. The fish is shiny and has many colors. Sam and Mia want to touch the fish. They swim closer to the fish. The fish is not afraid of them. It swims near them and looks at them.
+
+Sam reaches out his hand to pet the fish. But the fish does not like that. The fish opens its mouth and bites Sam's finger. Sam feels a sharp pain. He cries out loud. Mia hears him and swims to him. She sees the fish swim away. She sees blood on Sam's finger.
+
+Mia hugs Sam and says, "I'm sorry, Sam. The fish was mean. It should not bite you. Let's go to Mom and Dad. They will make it better." She helps Sam swim to the shore. They find their mom and dad and show them Sam's finger.
+
+Mom and Dad are worried. They wrap Sam's finger in a cloth. They make it tight. They say, "You are brave, Sam. The fish hurt you, but you did not give up. The cloth will stop the blood. The bite will heal soon. We are proud of you." They kiss Sam and Mia and hug them. Sam and Mia feel better. They still like the sea, but they do not want to touch the fish anymore.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with white powder on it. They wanted to touch it and see what it was.
+
+"Let's run to the hill!" Max said. He took Lily's hand and they ran as fast as they could.
+
+When they got to the hill, they felt the powder with their fingers. It was cold and wet and soft. They liked it. They made balls with it and threw them at each other. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, Lily felt something uncomfortable in her nose. She sneezed and sneezed and sneezed. The powder made her nose itch and hurt.
+
+"Max, I don't like the powder. It makes me sneeze. Can we go back?" Lily said.
+
+Max looked at Lily and saw that her nose was red and her eyes were watery. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"OK, Lily. Let's go back. We can play something else. Maybe we can swing or slide or draw." Max said.
+
+He helped Lily wipe her nose and they ran back to their mom. She gave them a hug and a tissue and asked them what they did.
+
+"We played with the powder on the hill. It was fun, but it made Lily sneeze. We are sorry, mom." Max said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's OK, my loves. The powder is called snow. It is very pretty, but some people are allergic to it. That means it makes them sneeze or itch or cough. You are not bad, you are just curious. Next time, we can bring gloves and hats and scarves and play with the snow more safely. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom kissed them and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate and cookies. That will make you feel better."

+
+Sara was sad. She did not want to play with her toys. She wanted to make pie. She saw a big book on the shelf. It had a picture of a pie on the cover. Sara took the book and opened it. She saw many words and pictures of pies. She could not read the words, but she liked the pictures. She wanted to examine the pies. She wanted to touch them and taste them.
+
+She saw a big red button on the side of the book. It said "Press me". Sara was curious. She pressed the button. Suddenly, the book made a loud noise. It opened up and a huge pie came out. It was enormous. It was bigger than Sara. It smelled like apples and cinnamon. Sara was amazed. She wanted to eat the pie.
+
+But her mom heard the noise. She came to see what happened. She saw the book and the pie. She was angry. She said "Sara, what did you do? This is not a book. This is a pie machine. It is very expensive and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself. You are not allowed to touch it. You have to go to your room. No pie for you."
+
+Sara was scared and sorry. She did not know it was a pie machine. She did not mean to make a mess. She cried and ran to her room. She wished she could have some pie. She wished her mom would play with her. She wished she had a real book about pies.
+Lily was a little bird who wanted to fly. She had small wings and soft feathers, but she was afraid of the sky. She liked to stay in her nest with her mother and father, who loved her very much.
+
+One day, her mother said, "Lily, it is time for you to try to fly. You are a big bird now, and you need to learn how to use your wings. Come with me, and I will show you how."
+
+Lily was scared, but she was obedient. She followed her mother to the edge of the nest, where she saw the trees and the clouds and the sun. She felt the wind on her face and the air under her wings.
+
+"Ready, Lily?" her mother asked. "Just flap your wings and jump. I will be right behind you."
+
+Lily nodded, but she did not feel ready. She closed her eyes and flapped her wings, but she did not jump. She clung to the nest, afraid to let go.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" her mother asked. "You have to jump, or you will never fly. Trust me, it is fun and easy. You can do it."
+
+Lily opened her eyes and saw her mother smiling at her. She wanted to make her mother happy, but she was still scared. She looked down and saw the ground far below. She felt dizzy and weak.
+
+"I can't, I can't," she cried. "I don't want to fly. I want to stay here. Please, don't make me."
+
+Her mother sighed and hugged her. "Lily, I understand. You are afraid, and that is okay. But you have to try, or you will miss out on so many things. Flying is wonderful, and you have the gift of wings. Don't waste it. Don't be afraid. I will always be with you, and I will always love you. Please, try for me."
+
+Lily looked into her mother's eyes and saw the love and the hope. She felt a warm and brave feeling in her heart. She decided to try for her mother. She nodded and said, "Okay, I will try. But you have to stay close to me."
+
+Her mother smiled and said, "Of course, I will. I am proud of you, Lily. Now, let's fly."
+
+Lily took a deep breath and flapped her wings harder. She let go of the nest and jumped. She felt a thrill and a fear as she fell, but then she felt a lift and a joy as she rose. She was flying, and her mother was flying with her. She saw the world in a new way, and she felt free and happy. She chirped and sang, and her mother joined her. They flew together, and they had fun.
+

+Anna loved sunflowers. She liked their bright yellow color and their big round faces. She had a sunflower seed packet that her grandma gave her. She wanted to grow her own sunflowers in the garden.
+
+Every day, Anna watered the soil where she planted the seeds. She was very enthusiastic. She hoped the seeds would sprout soon. She talked to them and sang to them. She said, "Please grow, little seeds. I want to see you become big and beautiful sunflowers."
+
+One morning, Anna saw something green poking out of the soil. She was very happy. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, look! The sunflower seeds are growing!" Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That's wonderful, Anna. You are a good gardener. You fed the seeds with water and love."
+
+Anna watched the green sprouts grow taller and taller. She counted the leaves and the buds. She wondered when the buds would open and show their yellow petals. She waited patiently and excitedly.
+
+One sunny day, Anna saw the first sunflower bloom. She was amazed. It was so big and bright. It looked like a smiley face. She ran to her dad and said, "Dad, dad, look! The sunflower is open!" Her dad smiled and hugged her. He said, "That's beautiful, Anna. You are a lucky girl. You have a sunflower friend."
+
+Anna loved her sunflower friend. She fed it with water and talked to it every day. She thanked it for making her happy. She said, "You are my favorite flower. You are like a sunny star." The sunflower nodded and winked at her. It was happy too.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and make noise. One day, they found a big drum in the garage. They took turns to hit the drum with sticks. It was fun.
+
+"Boom, boom, boom!" Lily shouted. "We are in a band!"
+
+"Boom, boom, boom!" Ben echoed. "We are loud and cool!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the garage. She was not happy. She had a headache and wanted to rest.
+
+"Stop that noise right now!" Mom said. "You are giving me a headache!"
+
+"But Mom, we are playing!" Lily said.
+
+"Playing is good, but not with a drum in the garage!" Mom said. "You can play with something else, or go outside. And put the drum back where you found it!"
+
+Lily and Ben sighed. They did not want to stop playing with the drum. They liked the drum. They put the drum back and went to the kitchen. They saw a bowl of soup on the table. It smelled good.
+
+"Maybe we can have some soup," Lily said. "I am hungry."
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "Let's try it."
+
+They took two spoons and dipped them in the soup. They put the soup in their mouths. It was very hot and spicy. They spit out the soup and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "The soup is too hot and spicy! It hurts my mouth!"
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. "The soup is bad! It burns my tongue!"
+
+Mom heard them cry and came to the kitchen. She saw the soup on the floor and on their faces. She was very angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom said. "That soup is not for you! It is for Dad! He likes spicy food! You are not supposed to touch it!"
+
+"But Mom, we were hungry!" Lily said.
+
+"And we wanted to play!" Ben said.
+
+"Well, you should have asked me first!" Mom said. "Now you have made a mess and wasted the soup! And you have hurt yourselves! Go to your rooms and think about what you have done!"
+
+Lily and Ben sighed again. They were sad and sorry. They went to their rooms and lay on their beds. They wished they had not played with the drum or the soup. They wished they had listened to Mom. They had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had a big box of toys and a lot of fun. They liked to make things with their toys. They had blocks, cars, dolls, animals and more.
+
+One day, they decided to make a fireplace with their blocks. They stacked the blocks to make a tall wall. Then they put some red and yellow blocks inside the wall. They said they were fire. They pretended to be warm and cozy by the fireplace.
+
+But then, Lily had an idea. She wanted to mix the fire blocks with the other blocks. She thought it would make them more colorful and pretty. She took some fire blocks and put them on top of the cars and the dolls and the animals. She said they were hats and scarves and blankets.
+
+Ben did not like Lily's idea. He said she was ruining the fireplace and the toys. He said fire was not for mixing. He wanted to keep the fire blocks inside the wall. He tried to take them back from Lily.
+
+Lily and Ben started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They knocked down the wall and the toys. The blocks went everywhere. They made a big mess.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the fighting. She was not happy. She told Lily and Ben to stop and to clean up. She said they had to share and be nice. She said fire was not for playing. She said fire was dangerous and hot.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said they were sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and made up. They cleaned up the mess and put the blocks back in the box. They decided to play something else. They did not want to mix fire anymore.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and make creative things. One day, they decided to order some pizza for lunch. They called the pizza place and asked for cheese and pepperoni.
+
+"Can we have motion on our pizza?" Lily asked.
+
+"What is motion?" the pizza man asked.
+
+"It is when things move and spin and change," Lily said.
+
+The pizza man was confused. He did not know how to make motion on a pizza. He said he could only make cheese and pepperoni.
+
+"Please try to make motion," Sam said. "We like motion. It is fun and pretty."
+
+The pizza man sighed. He wanted to make the children happy, but he did not know how. He thought for a moment. Then he had an idea. He took some cheese and pepperoni and cut them into different shapes. He arranged them on the pizza dough in a spiral pattern. He put the pizza in the oven and waited.
+
+When the pizza was ready, he put it in a box and drove to Lily and Sam's house. He knocked on the door and gave them the pizza.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Sam exclaimed. "You made motion on our pizza! It looks like a rainbow!"
+
+They opened the box and saw the cheese and pepperoni swirls. They smiled and thanked the pizza man.
+
+The pizza man smiled too. He was glad he was creative and made the children happy. He learned that sometimes it is good to try new things and listen to others.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be creative and open-minded. You can make others happy by trying new things and listening to their ideas.
+Tim and Sam were playing with their toy soldiers in the garden. They had made two forts with sticks and stones, and pretended to have a big war. Tim was the blue team and Sam was the red team.
+
+"Bang, bang, bang!" Tim shouted, as he threw some pebbles at Sam's fort. "I got you, Sam! You have to surrender!"
+
+"No, you didn't!" Sam said, as he ducked behind his fort. "You missed me, Tim! You have to try harder!"
+
+They kept throwing pebbles and making noises, until they ran out of pebbles. Then they looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"Let's go inside and have some juice," Tim said. "This war is over."
+
+"OK," Sam said. "But I didn't surrender yet!"
+
+They ran inside, holding their toy soldiers. They were thirsty and tired, but happy. They had fun playing together.
+
+They drank some juice and ate some cookies. Then they went to Tim's room and put their toy soldiers in a big box. They decided to play something else.
+
+"Let's play pirates," Tim said. "We can use this box as a ship, and sail to a deep island."
+
+"OK," Sam said. "But I'm the captain!"
+
+They laughed and climbed into the box. They pretended to have a big adventure. They were friends and pirates. They had fun playing together.

+
+Tom sees Jen's toy. He wants to play with it too. He asks Jen, "Can I play with your toy? It looks fun."
+
+Jen says, "No, it is my toy. You have your own toys. Go play with them."

+Tom is sad and angry. He thinks Jen is not a good friend. He says, "You are mean. I don't want to be your friend anymore. I will mail your toy to someone else."
+
+He grabs Jen's toy and runs away. Jen cries and chases him. She says, "Give me back my toy. It is mine. You are a bad friend."

+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a yellow car that he liked very much. Lily had a doll that she liked very much. They were happy and shared their toys.
+
+But then, Tom saw a new toy on the shelf. It was a big truck that could make noises and move. Tom wanted the truck. He left his yellow car and took the truck. Lily saw him and said, "That's not your toy, Tom. That's Mommy's toy. She is making a stitch for Daddy with it. You have to put it back."
+
+Tom did not listen. He said, "No, this is my toy now. It is better than your doll and my car. I want to play with it." He turned on the truck and made it go vroom vroom.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Tom, you are not nice. You are not sharing. You are taking Mommy's toy. You have to give it back." She tried to take the truck from Tom, but he pushed her away.
+
+They started to fight over the truck. They pulled and tugged and shouted. They did not see that the truck had a number on it. The number was a button. The button was for the stitch. The stitch was a surprise for Daddy. The stitch was a picture of their family.
+
+When they pushed the button, the truck made a loud beep. The stitch came out of the truck. But it was not a nice stitch. It was a mess. The picture was ruined. The colors were mixed. The faces were gone.
+
+Mommy heard the beep and came to the living room. She saw the truck, the stitch, and the children. She was very upset. She said, "What have you done? You have broken my toy and my stitch. You have spoiled the surprise for Daddy. You have been very naughty."
+
+Tom and Lily felt very sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We did not know. We were fighting over the truck. We did not share. We did not listen. We are sorry."
+
+Mommy said, "You have to learn to share and listen. You have to respect other people's things. You have to be kind and gentle. You have to say sorry to each other and to Daddy. And you have to help me fix the stitch."
+
+Tom and Lily said, "We will, Mommy. We will share and listen. We will respect and be kind. We will say sorry and help. We love you, Mommy. We love Daddy. We love each other."
+
+They hugged Mommy and each other. They put back the truck and the car and the doll. They helped Mommy fix the stitch. They made a new picture of their family. They waited for Daddy to come home. They gave him the stitch and said, "We made this for you, Daddy. We love you, Daddy. We are sorry, Daddy."
+
+Daddy smiled and hugged them. He said, "I love you, too, children. I love the stitch. It is very beautiful. You are very good. You have learned a good lesson. Sharing and listening are important. Respect and kindness are important. Saying sorry and helping are important. You have made me very happy."
+
+They all smiled and hugged. They were happy and shared their love.
+Ben is a boy who likes to play with cars and blocks. He does not like to learn new things. His mom says he needs a tutor to help him with letters and numbers. Ben does not want a tutor. He says he is smart enough.
+
+One day, a tutor comes to Ben's house. His name is Mr. Gray. He has a big bag of books and papers. He looks scary. He has a long nose, a loud voice, and a mean smile. He says to Ben, "Hello, Ben. I am your tutor. We are going to have fun learning together."
+
+Ben does not think Mr. Gray is fun. He thinks he is scary. He does not want to learn with him. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want to learn with you. I want to play with my cars and blocks."
+
+Mr. Gray does not listen to Ben. He says, "No, Ben. You have to learn with me. You have to do what I say. Or else." He takes Ben's cars and blocks and puts them in his bag. He says, "You can have them back when you finish your work."
+
+Ben is sad and angry. He does not like Mr. Gray. He does not like his work. He says, "Give me back my cars and blocks. They are mine. You are mean. You are not my tutor. You are a bully."
+
+Mr. Gray does not care. He says, "Too bad, Ben. You have to do your work. You have to learn. You have no choice. And you have to call me Mr. Gray. That is my name. And you have to be nice to me. Or else."
+
+Ben does not know what to do. He is scared of Mr. Gray. He is scared of what he will do to him. He wishes his mom would come home. He wishes he had a different tutor. He wishes he could play with his cars and blocks. He cries. He does not have a happy ending.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. Mom said they could play for a long time, but they had to be obedient and listen to her.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" Ben said. "I will count and you hide, Lily."
+
+"Okay!" Lily said. She ran away to find a good hiding spot. She saw a big purple bush with many flowers. She thought it was a perfect place to hide. She crawled under the bush and waited for Ben to find her.
+
+Ben counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked around the park and tried to find Lily. He checked behind the trees, under the slide, in the sandbox, but he could not see her. He started to feel worried. Where was Lily?
+
+"Lily, where are you?" Ben called. "I can't find you!"
+
+Lily heard Ben's voice and smiled. She was happy that she had found such a good hiding spot. She decided to stay quiet and see how long it would take Ben to find her.
+
+But then she heard another voice. It was mom's voice. And she sounded angry.
+
+"Lily, Ben, come here right now!" mom shouted. "It's time to go home!"
+
+Lily felt scared. She knew she had to obey mom, but she did not want to leave her hiding spot. She liked the purple bush and the flowers. She thought maybe mom would not see her if she stayed still.
+
+But mom did see her. She saw a little bit of Lily's hair sticking out from under the bush. She walked over and pulled Lily out.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" mom asked. "Why didn't you come when I called you?"
+
+Lily looked at mom and saw that she was not only angry, but also worried. She realized that she had made a mistake. She had not been obedient and she had made mom and Ben feel bad.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I was hiding in the purple bush. I wanted to win the game."
+
+Mom sighed and hugged Lily. "I know you like to play, but you have to listen to me. I'm your mom and I want you to be safe and happy. When I call you, you have to come. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to make you worry."
+
+Ben hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. But next time, don't hide so well. I want to play with you, not look for you."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. Next time, I will hide in a different place. But I will come when mom calls me. I promise."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go home. We can play more games tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Ben held mom's hand and walked to the car. They learned that being obedient was important and that playing games was fun, but not more than being safe and happy.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make buildings with blocks. They sit on the floor and stack the blocks.
+
+"Look, I made a tower!" Lila says. She shows Ben her building. It is tall and has a flag on top.
+
+"Wow, that is good!" Ben says. He claps his hands. He wants to make a tower too. He tries to stack his blocks. But his blocks fall down. He is sad.
+
+"Can you help me?" Ben asks Lila. He looks at her with big eyes.
+
+"Of course, I can help you!" Lila says. She is helpful. She smiles at Ben. She gives him some of her blocks. She shows him how to make a tower. They work together.
+
+"Thank you, Lila!" Ben says. He hugs Lila. He is happy. He has a tower too. It is not as tall as Lila's, but it has a star on top.
+
+"You are welcome, Ben!" Lila says. She hugs Ben back. She is happy too. They have two towers. They are proud of their buildings. They sit and look at their buildings. They are friends.
+Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says they have to be careful of the traffic. Traffic is when many cars and trucks go on the road.
+
+At the park, they see a big red fire truck. It has a loud siren and a long ladder. Lily and Sam think it is cool. They want to see it up close. They ask Mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to hold her hand and look both ways before they cross the street.
+
+They walk to the fire truck. The firemen are very nice. They let Lily and Sam sit in the front seat and wear helmets. They also show them how to use the hose and the radio. Lily and Sam have fun. They thank the firemen for letting them see the fire truck.
+
+As they leave, the firemen wave to them. Lily and Sam wave back. They are happy. They tell Mom they want to be firemen when they grow up. Mom smiles and says they can be anything they want. They hug Mom and go back to their bikes. They ride around the park and enjoy the sunny day.
+Mia and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a small hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside.
+
+"Let's search the hole!" Mia says. "Maybe there is a treasure!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "But be careful. Maybe there is a monster!"
+
+They take a stick and poke the hole. They hear a squeak. Something furry comes out. It is a mole. It has a pink nose and pink paws.
+
+"Look!" Mia says. "It is so cute! Can we keep it?"
+
+"No!" Ben says. "It is dirty and ugly! And it can bite!"
+
+He takes the stick and hits the mole. The mole cries and runs away. Mia is angry and sad.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Mia says. "You are mean and nasty! And you hurt the mole!"
+
+"I don't care!" Ben says. "It is just a mole! And I don't like pink!"
+
+He throws the stick at Mia. It hits her in the eye. She screams and cries. Ben runs away. Mia is alone and hurt. She wishes the mole would come back. But it is gone. The end.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who shared a room. They had two beds, two blankets and two pillows. But Tim liked Sam's pillow more than his own. It was softer and fluffier and had a picture of a dinosaur on it. So every night, when Sam was asleep, Tim would sneak over and steal his pillow. He would put his own pillow under Sam's head and take the dinosaur pillow to his bed.
+
+Sam did not like this at all. He would wake up in the morning and feel miserable. His neck would hurt and his pillow would be hard and boring. He would look over and see Tim sleeping happily with his dinosaur pillow. He would get angry and sad and want his pillow back.
+
+One night, Sam decided to stay awake and catch Tim in the act. He pretended to close his eyes and snore, but he was really watching Tim. He saw Tim get up and tiptoe to his bed. He saw Tim grab his pillow and try to swap it with his own. But before Tim could do it, Sam shouted, "Stop! That's my pillow! Give it back!"
+
+Tim was startled and dropped the pillow. He looked at Sam and saw his angry face. He felt guilty and scared. He did not want to make Sam unhappy. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I just like your pillow. It's so nice and cozy. Can I please have it?"
+
+Sam shook his head. He said, "No, Tim. You can't have it. It's mine. You have your own pillow. You can't steal mine. That's not nice. That's mean. How would you feel if I stole your pillow?"
+
+Tim thought about it. He realized that he would not like it if Sam stole his pillow. He would feel miserable too. He said, "You're right, Sam. I'm sorry. I won't steal your pillow again. Can we still be brothers?"
+
+Sam smiled. He said, "Yes, Tim. We can still be brothers. But you have to promise to leave my pillow alone. And maybe we can share it sometimes, if you ask nicely."
+
+Tim nodded. He said, "I promise, Sam. And thank you for sharing. You're a good brother."
+
+They hugged and made up. They put their pillows back on their beds and snuggled under their blankets. They fell asleep and dreamed of dinosaurs.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to prepare a tea party for their toys. They found some cups and plates and a big cloth to cover the table. They also got some cookies and juice from the kitchen.
+
+"Let's invite our friends to join us," Lily said. "We can share our food and have fun."
+
+"Okay," Tom agreed. "But I want to invite Teddy. He is my best friend."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked Teddy too. He was a big brown bear with a red bow. But when they went to get Teddy, they saw something disgusting. Teddy was covered in mud and grass. He looked very dirty and smelly.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "We can't invite Teddy. He will ruin our tea party. He needs a bath first."
+
+"No!" Tom said. "Teddy is fine. He likes to play outside. He doesn't need a bath. He can come with us."
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue. They pulled Teddy from each other. They shouted and cried. They forgot about their tea party and their toys.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the angry twins. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over Teddy? He is a toy, not a real bear. You should be kind and gentle with him. And you should also be kind and gentle with each other. You are twins. You should love and help each other, not hurt and upset each other."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They also said sorry to Teddy. They agreed to give him a bath and make him clean and fluffy again. Then they invited him to their tea party. They also invited their mom and their other toys. They shared their food and had fun. They learned to respect and care for their toys and their siblings. They were happy.
+Sam and Mia liked to race their bikes. They wanted to see who was faster. They wore helmets and gloves to be safe. They went to the park with their mom and dad.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Dad said. Sam and Mia pedaled hard. They zoomed past the trees and the swings. They felt the wind on their faces. They liked the speed.
+
+But then, Sam saw a big rock on the path. He tried to avoid it, but he hit it with his front wheel. He lost his balance and fell off his bike. He scraped his knee and elbow. He cried out loud.
+
+"Oh no, Sam!" Mia said. She stopped her bike and ran to him. She was worried about her brother. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Sam?"
+
+Sam sniffed and nodded. He was hurt, but he was brave. He looked at his bike. It was not broken, but it had a dent. He felt sad.
+
+Mom and Dad came to help. They cleaned his wounds and put band-aids on them. They praised him for being strong. They said, "It's okay, Sam. Accidents happen. You did very well. You almost succeeded in winning the race. You were very fast."
+
+Sam smiled a little. He thanked them. He said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. You won the race. You are faster than me."
+
+Mia shook her head. She said, "No, Sam. You are faster than me. You just had a terrible luck. You are a good brother. You are not a quitter. You can try again next time. We can race together."
+
+Sam nodded. He said, "Okay, Mia. We can race together. We can have fun. We can be a team."
+
+They hugged each other. They got back on their bikes. They rode back to their car. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that speed is not everything. They learned that love is more important.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their blocks. They made towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They were very organized. They put the blocks in different piles by color and shape.
+
+One day, they saw a big billboard on the road. It had a picture of a dragon and some words. Lily and Ben wanted to make a dragon with their blocks. They thought it would be fun and scary.
+
+They took some green blocks and some red blocks and some yellow blocks. They tried to make the dragon's head and body and tail and wings. But it was hard. The blocks did not stick together. They kept falling down.
+
+Lily and Ben got mad. They snapped at each other. They said it was the other's fault. They pushed and pulled the blocks. They made a big mess.
+
+Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told Lily and Ben to stop fighting and clean up. She said they should share and help each other. She said they could look at a book about dragons instead.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and said they were friends. They picked up the blocks and put them back in the piles. They looked at the book and saw many kinds of dragons. They liked the book. They said they would try to make a dragon again another day.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with the blocks.
+
+One day, they find a big box of new blocks. They are very happy. They open the box and see many shiny blocks. They are all square and silver. They look very cool.
+
+"Wow, look at these blocks!" Tom says. "They are so pretty. Let's play with them."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Mia says. "They look different from our other blocks. Maybe they are not for playing. Maybe they are for something else."
+
+Tom does not listen to Mia. He thinks she is silly. He grabs a handful of square blocks and starts to stack them. He wants to make a big tower. He does not see the small words on the box. The words say: "Warning: Do not touch. These are not blocks. These are batteries."
+
+Mia sees the words. She is scared. She tries to warn Tom. She says: "Tom, stop! These are not blocks. These are batteries. They can hurt you. Put them back in the box."
+
+Tom does not listen to Mia. He thinks she is silly. He says: "No, these are blocks. They are fun. You are scared of nothing. Look, I can make a very high tower."
+
+He puts more and more square blocks on top of each other. He does not notice that the blocks are getting warm. He does not notice that the blocks are making a buzzing sound. He does not notice that the blocks are sparking.
+
+Mia sees the sparks. She is very scared. She screams: "Tom, run! The blocks are going to explode!"
+
+But it is too late. The blocks explode with a loud bang. The explosion makes a big hole in the wall. The explosion makes a big mess in the room. The explosion makes Tom and Mia fly in the air.
+
+Tom and Mia are hurt. They have cuts and burns on their skin. They have tears in their eyes. They have pain in their ears. They are very sorry. They wish they had listened to Mia. They wish they had not played with the square blocks. They wish they had not been silly.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green on it.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"Maybe it is magic," Lily says.
+
+They open the box. Inside, they see many things. They see hats, scarves, glasses, wands and masks. They are happy. They want to try them on.
+
+"Let's act like different people," Tom says.
+
+"OK," Lily says.
+
+They take turns to pick something from the box and put it on. Then they act like someone else. Tom puts on a hat and a wand. He acts like a wizard. He says, "Abracadabra! I can make things fly!" He waves his wand at a ball. The ball does not fly. He tries again. The ball still does not fly. He is sad.
+
+Lily puts on a scarf and glasses. She acts like a teacher. She says, "Class, today we will learn about animals. What sound does a cow make?" She points at Tom. Tom says, "Moo!" Lily says, "Very good. What sound does a duck make?" She points at herself. She says, "Quack!" They laugh.
+
+They have fun. They act like different people. They pretend the box is magic. They forget about the time. They do not see the sun go down. They do not hear their moms call them. They are too busy playing.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom. Every morning, she would lead her little brother Max to the kitchen and get him a bowl of cereal. She would pour the milk and add some fruit on top. Max loved his cereal and always said thank you to Lily.
+
+One day, Lily had a crazy idea. She wanted to make Max's cereal more fun. She found some sprinkles and chocolate chips in the cupboard and put them in his bowl. She also added some honey and whipped cream. She thought Max would be very happy and surprised.
+
+But when Max saw his cereal, he made a funny face. He did not like the sprinkles and chocolate chips. He said they were too sweet and crunchy. He did not like the honey and whipped cream. He said they were too sticky and messy. He pushed his bowl away and started to cry.
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make Max sad. She wanted to make him smile. She said she was sorry and hugged him. She asked him if he wanted a new bowl of cereal. Max nodded and wiped his tears. Lily threw away the crazy cereal and made him a normal one. She gave him a kiss and said she loved him. Max smiled and said he loved her too. They ate their cereal and were happy.
+Lily was eager to see her new sister. She had waited a long time for her to come home from the hospital. Mommy said she was very small and cute and needed a lot of love.
+
+When Mommy and Daddy came home with the baby, Lily ran to the door and hugged them. She wanted to see her sister right away. Mommy smiled and said, "Be gentle, Lily. She is very fragile."
+
+Mommy sat on the couch and let Lily sit next to her. She carefully lifted the blanket and showed Lily the baby. Lily gasped. She had never seen anything so tiny and pink. She had a little nose, little ears, little fingers and little toes. She was sleeping with her mouth open.
+
+"Can I touch her?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, but very softly," Mommy said. "She is your sister and you can help me take care of her."
+
+Lily reached out her hand and stroked the baby's cheek. It was warm and soft. The baby made a little noise and opened her eyes. She looked at Lily with curiosity.
+
+"Hi, sister," Lily said. "I'm Lily. I'm your big sister. I love you."
+
+She leaned over and gave the baby a gentle kiss on the forehead. Then she wrapped her arms around the baby and Mommy and gave them a big squeeze. She felt happy and proud. She had a new sister and she was going to be the best big sister ever.
+Ben and Mia were twins who loved to play with their toy animals. They had a big box full of different kinds of animals, like cows, horses, sheep, dogs, and cats. They also had a small stable made of wood, where they could put some of their animals inside.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game where they would march their animals to the stable, one by one, and make them say hello to each other. Ben started first, and picked up a cow. He made the cow walk on four legs and say "moo". He put the cow in the stable and said, "This is my cow. She is big and strong and gives us milk."
+
+Mia nodded and picked up a horse. She made the horse walk on four legs and say "neigh". She put the horse in the stable and said, "This is my horse. He is fast and brave and can jump over fences."
+
+They took turns to march their animals to the stable, until they had filled it up with all kinds of noises and colors. They were having so much fun, that they did not notice that one of their animals was missing. It was a zebra, a rare and beautiful animal that their grandma had given them for their birthday. The zebra had fallen out of the box and was lying on the floor, unnoticed.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark from outside. It was their dog, Spot, who had seen the zebra and wanted to play with it. Spot ran into the room and grabbed the zebra in his mouth. He shook it and tossed it in the air, thinking it was a toy.
+
+Ben and Mia saw what was happening and screamed. They ran to Spot and tried to get the zebra back. But it was too late. The zebra was torn and dirty, and its stripes were faded. Ben and Mia cried and hugged the zebra. They were very sad and angry at Spot.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad dog! You ruined our zebra! It was rare and special and we loved it!" they shouted at Spot.
+
+Spot looked at them with his big, brown eyes and wagged his tail. He did not understand why they were mad at him. He thought he was just playing with them. He licked their faces and tried to make them happy.
+
+Ben and Mia calmed down and realized that Spot did not mean to hurt their zebra. He was just a dog, and he did not know any better. They also realized that they should have been more careful with their toys, and not left them on the floor. They learned a lesson that day, that they should take good care of their things, and not take them for granted.
+
+They forgave Spot and hugged him. They also hugged each other and their zebra. They decided to fix the zebra with some glue and tape, and make it look as good as new. They put the zebra in the stable, next to the cow and the horse, and said, "This is our zebra. He is rare and beautiful and we love him."
+Lily loved lollipops. She liked to lick them and make them smaller and smaller. She liked the sweet taste and the bright colors. She had a big jar of lollipops in her room, and she would pick one every day.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new lollipop in the jar. It was big and round and shiny. It had a rainbow swirl on it. Lily wanted to try it. She took it out of the jar and unwrapped it. She put it in her mouth and smiled.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a thunderstorm. Lily was fearful of thunderstorms. She did not like the dark clouds and the scary sounds. She ran to her bed and hid under the covers. She forgot about the lollipop in her mouth.
+
+Her mom came to her room and saw her shaking. She hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. I'm here to provide you comfort. The thunderstorm will go away soon. Do you want to read a book or sing a song?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please." She took out the lollipop from her mouth and gave it to her mom. She said, "You can have it, mom. It's a special lollipop. It has a rainbow on it."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. That's very sweet of you. But you can keep it. It's your lollipop. You can have it later, when the storm is over."
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "Okay, mom. I love you."
+
+They read a book and sang a song together, until the thunderstorm was over. Lily felt better and was not fearful anymore. She enjoyed her rainbow lollipop and shared it with her mom. They both liked the sweet taste and the bright colors.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they find a big bottle of milk in the fridge. They want to drink some milk, but they need cups.
+
+"Look, Ben, milk!" Sara says.
+
+"Yum, milk!" Ben says.
+
+They look for cups in the cupboard. They see many cups, but they are too high. They cannot reach them.
+
+"Uh-oh, no cups!" Sara says.
+
+"What do we do?" Ben says.
+
+They think hard. They see a bowl on the table. It is for the cat. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's use the bowl!" Sara says.
+
+"Good idea!" Ben says.
+
+They take the bowl and pour some milk in it. They share the bowl and drink the milk. They are happy.
+
+But the cat is not happy. The cat sees them drinking his milk. He is angry. He jumps on the table and meows loudly.
+
+"Hey, that's my milk!" the cat says.
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know the cat can talk. They think it is funny.
+
+"Ha ha, funny cat!" Sara says.
+
+"Ha ha, funny cat!" Ben says.
+
+They laugh and give the cat some milk. The cat is happy. They are all happy. They drink milk and play together.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear. They called him Mr. Fluffy.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben had a problem. They both wanted to play with Mr. Fluffy at the same time. They pulled and tugged on the teddy bear, but neither of them would let go.
+
+"Mr. Fluffy is mine!" Lily said.
+
+"No, he is mine!" Ben said.
+
+They were both angry and sad. They did not want to share.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Mom. She came into the room and saw the two friends fighting over the teddy bear.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Ben both want Mr. Fluffy," they said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't you take turns playing with Mr. Fluffy? You can choose who goes first, and then switch after a while. That way, you can both have fun and be fair."
+
+Lily and Ben thought about it. They liked Mom's idea. They decided to choose who goes first by playing rock, paper, scissors. Lily won, so she got to play with Mr. Fluffy first. Ben waited patiently.
+
+After a while, Lily said, "OK, Ben, it's your turn. Here is Mr. Fluffy."
+
+She gave the teddy bear to Ben. Ben was happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."
+
+He gave Lily a hug. Lily hugged him back. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too."
+
+They smiled and played with Mr. Fluffy together. They shared and took turns. They had a lot of fun. Mom watched them and said, "You are both perfect."
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small car. They share and have fun.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise. They see a big plane in the sky. The plane drops a big bomb. The bomb makes a big fire and a big smoke. Tim and Jen are scared. They run to their moms.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" Tim asks.
+
+"That is a war, Tim. A war is when people fight and hurt each other. It is very bad," Tim's mom says.
+
+"Why do people fight, mom?" Jen asks.
+
+"Sometimes people fight because they are angry or greedy or afraid. They do not know how to be kind and share and have fun. They do not have great friends like you and Tim," Jen's mom says.
+
+Tim and Jen hug their moms. They worry about the war. They worry about the people who are hurt. They worry about the park and the ball and the car.
+
+"Mom, can we do something to stop the war?" Tim asks.
+
+"Well, we can pray and hope and love. We can be great friends to each other and to everyone. We can show people how to be kind and share and have fun. Maybe then they will stop fighting and start playing," Tim's mom says.
+
+Tim and Jen smile. They like that idea. They pray and hope and love. They are great friends. They want to play. They want peace.
+Lily liked to number her toys. She had one doll, two cars, three blocks and four books. She put them in a line and counted them out loud. "One, two, three, four," she said. She felt happy and smart.
+
+She wanted to show her mom her toys and how she could number them. She ran to the kitchen where her mom was making lunch. "Mom, mom, look at my toys!" she said. She dragged her mom to her room and pointed at her line of toys.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you are so good at numbering your toys!" her mom said. "Can you show me how you do it?" Lily nodded and counted her toys again. "One, two, three, four," she said. Her mom clapped her hands and hugged her. "You are amazing, Lily. I am so proud of you."
+
+Lily felt happy and proud too. She wanted to play more with her toys and number them. She asked her mom if she could put on some music. Her mom said yes and turned on the radio. Lily heard a song with a nice rhythm. She liked the sound of the drums and the guitar. She started to dance and sing along. She moved her toys to the rhythm of the music. She counted them in time with the song. "One, two, three, four," she sang.
+
+She had so much fun with her toys and the music. She danced and sang and numbered for a long time. She did not notice how the sun moved in the sky and how the shadows grew longer. She did not notice how her mom called her for lunch and then for a nap. She did not notice how her eyes became heavy and her legs became tired. She only noticed her toys and the rhythm and the numbers. She was happy and smart and free.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. The tower is very tall. Anna and Ben are happy.
+
+"Look, look!" Anna says. "Our tower is the best!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But we need more blocks. Let's get some from the box."
+
+They run to the box and grab some blocks. They hurry back to the tower. They want to make it taller and taller.
+
+But Sam is watching them. Sam is not happy. He is bored. He wants to play with the blocks, too. But Anna and Ben do not share. They say the blocks are theirs. Sam is angry. He is impatient. He has a plan.
+
+He waits until Anna and Ben are not looking. Then he sneaks up to the tower. He pushes it with his hand. The tower wobbles. It seems to fall. Anna and Ben turn around and see Sam.
+
+"Sam, no!" Anna shouts. "Stop it!"
+
+But it is too late. The tower falls down. The blocks crash to the floor. Anna and Ben are sad. They cry. Sam laughs.
+
+"Ha, ha!" Sam says. "Now the blocks are mine!"
+
+He grabs some blocks and runs away. But he does not see the tip of a block on the floor. He trips on it and falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries.
+
+Anna and Ben hear Sam cry. They stop crying. They look at Sam. They feel sorry for him. They go to him and help him up.
+
+"Are you okay, Sam?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, I'm not!" Sam says. "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I was mean. I broke your tower. I wanted to play with you, but you did not let me."
+
+"It's okay, Sam," Anna says. "We are sorry, too. We should have shared. We can play together now. We can build a new tower. A bigger and better one."
+
+"Really?" Sam says. "You mean it?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Ben says. "Come on, let's go get some blocks."
+
+They hug and smile. They go to the box and get some blocks. They start to build a new tower. A bigger and better one. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lila loves to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her dolls, her dog, and her friends. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored.
+
+One day, Lila receives a big box from her grandma. She opens it and finds a beautiful dress, a pair of shiny shoes, and a tiara. She is so excited. She puts them on and runs to the mirror. She looks like a princess.
+
+She calls her mom and dad. "Look at me, look at me!" she says. "I am a princess. Grandma sent me these. Can I dance for you?"
+
+"Of course, sweetie," her mom says. "You look lovely. Let's go to the living room and put some music on."
+
+Lila follows her mom and dad to the living room. She picks a song she likes and starts to dance. She twirls, she jumps, she spins. She feels happy and free. She smiles and laughs.
+
+Her mom and dad clap and cheer. They are proud of her. They join her and dance with her. They hug and kiss her.
+
+Lila feels a fierce love for her family. She is grateful for her grandma. She is happy to dance. She thinks this is the best day ever.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on rocks, and on her face. She painted flowers, animals, stars, and rainbows. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, Lily found a big box in the garage. It was full of dust. She sneezed and coughed. She opened the box and saw many old things. She saw books, clothes, toys, and pictures. She wondered what they were.
+
+She picked up a picture. It was of a lady and a man. They smiled and hugged. They wore nice clothes and had shiny hair. They looked attractive. Lily liked the picture. She wanted to paint it.
+
+She took the picture and a paper to her room. She put the picture on the floor and the paper on the table. She got her colors and brushes. She looked at the picture and tried to paint it. She painted the lady's dress red, the man's shirt blue, and their hair yellow. She painted their faces pink and their eyes green. She painted a big heart around them.

+She was proud of her painting. She showed it to her mom and dad. They looked at the picture and the painting. They smiled and hugged. They said, "Lily, this is a picture of your grandma and grandpa. They loved each other very much. And we love your painting very much. You are a great artist." Lily was happy. She hugged her mom and dad. She said, "I love you. And I love grandma and grandpa. And I love to paint."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw animals and houses and cars. Tom had a red crayon and Lily had a blue one. They shared the other colors.
+
+"Look, I draw a big dog!" Tom said, showing his paper to Lily.
+
+"Wow, it is a nice dog!" Lily said. "I draw a flower. Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, it is a pretty flower!" Tom said. He wanted to draw a flower too, but he did not have a green crayon for the stem. He looked around and saw an eraser on the table. It was green and had a funny shape.
+
+"Hey, what is this?" Tom asked, picking up the eraser.
+
+"It is an eraser. It can make things go away," Lily said.
+
+"Really? How?" Tom asked.
+
+"Watch," Lily said. She took the eraser and rubbed it on her paper. The flower became smaller and smaller until it was gone.
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Tom said. He wanted to try it too. He took the eraser and rubbed it on his paper. The dog became smaller and smaller until it was gone.
+
+"Hey, that is not fair! You make my dog go away!" Tom said, feeling angry.
+
+"Sorry, I did not mean to," Lily said, feeling sorry.
+
+Tom did not listen. He was still angry. He threw the eraser at Lily. It flew in the air and hit her on the head.
+
+"Ow, that hurts!" Lily said, feeling pain.
+
+"Ha, ha, I shoot you with the eraser!" Tom said, feeling happy.
+
+"That is not nice! You are mean!" Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+She started to cry. Tom saw her cry and felt bad. He did not want to make her cry. He wanted to make her happy.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I did not want to hurt you. I was just playing," Tom said, feeling sorry.
+
+He went to her and gave her a hug. He gave her the eraser and the blue crayon.
+
+"Here, you can have the eraser and the blue crayon. You can draw a new flower," Tom said, feeling kind.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are fine," Lily said, feeling happy.
+
+She smiled and wiped her tears. She took the eraser and the blue crayon. She drew a new flower. She gave Tom the red crayon.
+
+"Here, you can have the red crayon. You can draw a new dog," Lily said, feeling kind.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are fine," Tom said, feeling happy.
+
+He smiled and took the red crayon. He drew a new dog. They shared the other colors. They drew more animals and houses and cars. They played with their crayons and paper. They were friends.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the garden. They see a shiny key on the grass. Tom picks it up and shows it to Anna.
+
+"Look, a key!" he says. "I wonder what it opens."
+
+"Maybe it opens a treasure chest," Anna says. "Or a magic door."
+
+They run around the garden, looking for something to fit the key. They try the shed, the gate, the birdhouse, but nothing works. They get dizzy from running so much.
+
+They sit down under a tree and rest. They see their mom coming out of the house. She sees the key in Tom's hand and smiles.
+
+"Where did you find that key?" she asks.
+
+"On the grass," Tom says. "What does it open?"
+
+Mom explains that the key belongs to her necklace. She lost it yesterday and was looking for it. She thanks Tom and Anna for finding it and puts it around her neck.
+
+"It's a special key," she says. "It opens my heart. It reminds me of how much I love you."
+
+Tom and Anna hug their mom and tell her they love her too. They are happy they found the key and learned what it opens.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then the wind started to blow. It was very cold and loud. The snowman's hat flew away. His scarf was loose. His nose and eyes were falling off. Lily and Ben were sad. They ran to their house.
+
+"Mama, mama, our snowman is gone!" they cried. Mama hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. He will be back next time it snows. Come, let's have some hot chocolate and cookies. They are very tasty."
+
+She took them to the kitchen, where a fire was burning in the chimney. The fire was warm and bright. It made crackling sounds. Lily and Ben sat on the sofa and drank their hot chocolate. They ate their cookies. They felt better.
+
+They looked out of the window and saw their snowman. He was still there, but he was smaller and crooked. He looked like he was trembling. Lily and Ben felt sorry for him.
+
+"Can we go and say goodbye to him, mama?" they asked. Mama nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But put on your coats and gloves. It is very cold outside."
+
+Lily and Ben put on their coats and gloves. They ran to their snowman. They gave him a hug and a kiss. They said, "Goodbye, snowman. We will see you again. We love you."
+
+The snowman smiled and said, "Goodbye, Lily and Ben. I love you too. Thank you for making me. You are very kind."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and waved. They ran back to their house. They were happy.
+Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to look at other people's things and touch them. She did not ask if she could do that. She thought it was fun to find out what they had.
+
+One day, Lily went to her friend Ben's house. Ben had a big bookshelf in his room. It had many books and toys on it. Lily wanted to see them. She did not wait for Ben. She ran to the bookshelf and started to pull out the books and toys.
+
+Ben saw what Lily was doing. He was angry. He said, "Lily, stop that! Those are my things. You have to ask me before you touch them. You are being nosy and rude."
+
+Lily did not listen. She kept pulling out the books and toys. She did not care if she made a mess. She thought she would find something interesting.
+
+But then, Lily pulled out a book that was very heavy. It was Ben's dad's book. It had many pages and words. Lily did not know what it was. She tried to lift it, but it was too heavy for her. It fell on her foot. It hurt a lot. Lily cried.
+
+Ben heard Lily cry. He ran to her and saw what happened. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Lily, are you okay? That book is very heavy. It is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. You should not have touched it."
+
+Lily was in pain. She also felt ashamed. She realized she had done something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was nosy. I wanted to see your things. I did not ask you. I did not think it would hurt. I was silly."
+
+Ben forgave Lily. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful. You have to respect other people's things. You have to ask before you touch them. That is the polite thing to do."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "You are right, Ben. I will do that next time. I will not be nosy anymore. I will be polite."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you decided to be polite. You are still my friend. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, Ben. I want to play with you. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+They hugged and played together. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They learned to be polite and respectful. They learned to be good friends.
+Ben and Lily went to the grocery store with Mom. They liked to help Mom collect the things she needed. They put apples, bread, milk and eggs in the cart.
+
+"Can we get some cookies, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe later, sweetie. We have to get some other things first," Mom said.
+
+They walked to the next aisle. There were many weird things there. Ben and Lily saw cans with funny pictures on them. They saw jars with green and red stuff inside. They saw boxes with words they could not read.
+
+"What are these, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"These are foods from different places. Some people like to eat them. They have different tastes and names," Mom said.
+
+"Can we try them?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe another time, honey. We have to stick to our list today," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They were curious, but they also liked the things they knew. They followed Mom to the next aisle. They saw some cookies there. Mom smiled and put some in the cart.
+
+"Yay, cookies!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They were happy. They liked to collect groceries with Mom. They liked to see new things, but they also liked to eat cookies.
+Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They like to see animals. Mom and Dad say they can go to the zoo today. Lily and Ben are very happy and curious.
+
+They get in the car and drive to the zoo. They see a big sign with the word "zoo" and a picture of a lion. They say "wow" and "roar". Mom and Dad park the car and buy tickets. They hold Lily and Ben's hands and walk to the gate.
+
+The zoo has many animals. Lily and Ben see monkeys, elephants, giraffes, penguins, and more. They point and ask questions. Mom and Dad tell them the names of the animals and what they eat and do. Lily and Ben learn a lot and have fun.
+
+They come to a big cage with a bear. The bear is brown and furry. He is sleeping on a rock. Lily and Ben want to see him move. They say "hello, bear" and "wake up, bear". The bear opens his eyes and looks at them. He is curious too. He gets up and walks to the fence. He sniffs and grunts. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. They say "thank you, bear" and "bye, bear". They wave and smile.
+
+Mom and Dad say it is time to go home. Lily and Ben are tired but happy. They say "bye, zoo" and "bye, animals". They get in the car and drive away. They talk about their favorite animals and what they saw. They say they want to come to the zoo again. Mom and Dad say they will. They hug and kiss. They love the zoo.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their cars on the floor. They have a white line made of paper that they use as a road. They take turns to drive their cars on the line and make noises.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going fast!" Tom says, as he moves his red car along the line.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Lily says, as she follows him with her blue car.
+
+They reach the end of the line and turn around. They drive back to the other end.
+
+"Can I pass you?" Lily asks, as she tries to move her car next to Tom's.
+
+"No, you can't!" Tom says, as he blocks her way. "I'm the leader!"
+
+Lily gets mad. She pushes Tom's car off the line with her hand.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom says, as he picks up his car. "You cheated!"
+
+Lily sticks out her tongue. She drives her car on the line by herself.
+
+"I don't care!" she says. "I'm the winner!"
+
+Tom feels sad. He doesn't want to play with Lily anymore. He looks for another toy. He sees a yellow ball on the shelf. He gets the ball and rolls it on the floor.
+
+"Look, I have a ball!" he says, as he bounces it. "It's more fun than cars!"
+
+Lily hears him. She looks at the ball. She likes the ball. She wants to play with the ball too.
+
+"Can I play with the ball?" she asks, as she leaves her car on the line.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that Lily was mean to him. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, you can't!" he says, as he holds the ball. "You were mean to me!"
+
+Lily feels sorry. She knows she was mean to Tom. She wants to be his friend again.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," she says, as she walks to him. "I didn't mean to be mean. Can we share the ball?"
+
+Tom looks at her. He sees that she is sorry. He smiles.
+
+"Okay, Lily," he says, as he gives her the ball. "We can share the ball. And the cars. And the line."
+
+Lily smiles too. She hugs him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," she says, as she takes the ball. "You're a good friend."
+
+They play with the ball and the cars and the line. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box. It has a sign that says "Free toys". Lily and Ben are happy. They run to the box.
+
+"Wow, look at all these toys!" Lily says. She picks up a doll. "She is so pretty. I want to take her home."
+
+Ben sees a car. He likes cars. He grabs the car. "This is mine. I want to take it home."
+
+They do not see the man behind a tree. He is watching them. He has a camera. He thinks this is a joke. He wants to make them look silly.
+
+He waits for them to open the toys. He thinks they will be scared or angry. He thinks that is funny.
+
+But Lily and Ben are not careless. They are smart. They look at the toys carefully. They see something strange. The doll has a button on her back. The car has a wire on its wheel.
+
+They do not press the button. They do not pull the wire. They know they are not real toys. They know they are traps.
+
+They look around. They see the man. He is hiding. He is smiling. He thinks they do not know.
+
+Lily and Ben have an idea. They pretend to play with the toys. They act happy. They make noises.
+
+"Look, she can talk!" Lily says. She presses the button.
+
+"Look, he can move!" Ben says. He pulls the wire.
+
+The toys explode. They make a loud noise. They make a lot of smoke. They make a mess.
+
+Lily and Ben are not hurt. They are safe. They laugh.
+
+The man is not happy. He is shocked. He is scared. He is dirty.
+
+He drops his camera. He runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben pick up the camera. They look at the pictures. They see the man's face. He looks silly.
+
+They think this is a joke. They think this is funny. They take the camera home. They show their parents. They all laugh.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Ben was a lion and Mia was a zebra. They ran and jumped and roared and neighed.
+
+"Look, Ben, grapes!" Mia said, pointing to a vine on the fence. "Can we eat them?"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked grapes. They were sweet and juicy. He climbed on a chair and picked some grapes. He gave some to Mia and they ate them happily.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum," Ben said. "These are the best grapes ever."
+
+Mia agreed. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good lion."
+
+But then they heard a voice. It was Mom. She sounded serious.
+
+"Ben, Mia, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Those are not grapes. Those are berries. They are not good for you. They can make you sick."
+
+Ben and Mia looked at each other. They felt scared. They did not know they were eating berries. They thought they were grapes. They seemed like grapes.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Ben said. "We did not know. We were playing animals."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Mia said. "We were hungry. We thought they were grapes."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was worried. She took Ben and Mia inside. She gave them some water and checked them. They were not sick, but they had to be careful.
+
+"Next time, ask me before you eat anything from the garden," Mom said. "Some things are not what they seem. Some things are not good for you."
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. We will be careful."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, Ben and Mia. You are my good animals."
+Sam liked to run. He ran fast and far. He ran in the park, in the yard, and in the street. He ran with his dog, his friends, and his mom. He ran every day and every night. He wanted to win a race.
+
+One day, he saw a sign. It said: Big Race for Kids. Come and Run. Sam was happy. He told his mom. She said: OK, we can go. But be careful. There are some big kids in the race. They are like giants. They can run very fast. Sam was not scared. He said: I can run faster than giants.
+
+The day of the race came. Sam put on his shoes and his shirt. He went to the park with his mom. He saw the other kids. Some were small like him. Some were big like giants. He saw the finish line. It was far away. He heard a whistle. The race began.
+
+Sam ran as fast as he could. He passed some small kids. He passed some big kids. He saw the finish line. It was near. He ran faster. He saw one more kid. He was a giant. He was slow. Sam ran past him. He crossed the finish line. He won the race.
+
+Sam was happy. He got a medal. He showed it to his mom. She was proud. She hugged him. She said: You did great. You ran faster than giants. Sam smiled. He said: I like to run. I like to win.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars and planes and animals. They saw a big red button on the wall. It looked shiny and fun.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it makes a sound or a light," Ben said.
+
+"Let's push it and see," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the button and pushed it hard. Suddenly, a loud siren went off and a voice said, "Warning, warning, fire alarm activated. Please evacuate the building."
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their toys and ran to the door. They saw their mom and dad coming from the kitchen. They looked angry and worried.
+
+"What did you do?" their mom asked.
+
+"We pushed the button," Ben said.
+
+"Why did you do that? That button is for emergencies only. You could have caused a lot of trouble. You know you are not supposed to touch things you don't know," their dad said.
+
+"We are sorry. We didn't know. We wanted to see what it does," Lily said.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you are safe, but you have to be more careful. That was a very bad thing to do. You are going to be punished for this. You have to go to your room and stay there for a long time. No more toys or TV or snacks for today."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and sorry. They nodded and said, "OK. We are sorry. We won't do it again."
+
+They went to their room and sat on their beds. They wished they had not pushed the button. They learned their lesson. They decided to only play with their toys and not touch things they don't know.
+Lily and Max liked to watch videos on the big screen. They had many videos of animals, songs, and stories. But they had to wait for Mom and Dad to let them watch. Mom and Dad said too much video was bad for their eyes and brains.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad had to go out for a long time. They asked Grandma to watch Lily and Max. Grandma was nice, but she did not know how to use the big screen. She said she only liked books and puzzles. Lily and Max were bored. They wanted to watch their videos.
+
+They had an idea. They waited for Grandma to fall asleep on the couch. Then they sneaked to the big screen. They turned it on and put in their favorite video. It was about a lion and a mouse who became friends. They turned up the volume and sat on the floor.
+
+They were having fun, until they heard a loud noise. It was Grandma. She woke up and saw the big screen. She was angry. She said they were naughty and spoiled. She said they had to turn off the video and go to bed. She said it was too dark and late for videos.
+
+Lily and Max were sad and scared. They did not want to go to bed. They wanted to watch their video. They said they were sorry and begged Grandma to let them finish. But Grandma did not listen. She took the video out and turned off the big screen. She took Lily and Max to their room and tucked them in. She said good night and closed the door.
+
+Lily and Max could not sleep. They missed their video. They missed their Mom and Dad. They wished they had not spoiled their fun. They learned their lesson. They decided to never watch videos without permission again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought. One day, they saw a big red button on the wall. They did not know what it did, but it looked fun.
+
+"Let me push it!" Tim said.
+
+"No, me!" Sam said.
+
+They both ran to the button and tried to push it at the same time. But they pushed too hard and the button broke. A loud noise came from the button and a light flashed. Tim and Sam were scared.
+
+"Uh-oh," Tim said.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sam said.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken button and the scared boys. She was angry.
+
+"Who did this?" she asked.
+
+Tim and Sam looked at each other. They did not want to tell the truth. They did not want to be punished.
+
+"It was him!" Tim said, pointing at Sam.
+
+"No, it was him!" Sam said, pointing at Tim.
+
+Mom shook her head. She knew they were lying. She was very disappointed.
+
+"You both did this," she said. "You both have to be punished. You have to go to your room and no toys for an hour. And you have to say sorry to each other and to me."
+
+Tim and Sam felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They went to their room and sat on their beds. They were bored and sad.
+
+After an hour, Mom came to their room. She saw them sitting quietly. She smiled a mild smile.
+
+"Are you ready to come out?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom," Tim and Sam said.
+
+"Have you learned your lesson?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom," Tim and Sam said.
+
+"Good," she said. "I love you, boys. But don't ever touch that button again. It is not a toy. It is for emergencies only."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They hugged Mom and said they loved her too. They were happy to be out of their room. They decided to play nicely with their toys and not fight anymore. They did not want to break anything or make Mom angry again. They wanted to make her proud.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to eat the apples. They are hungry.
+
+They ask their moms if they can pick some apples. Their moms say yes, but be careful. Lily and Ben climb the tree. They find two apples that look yummy. They pick them and go down.
+
+They sit on a bench and eat the apples. They are sweet and juicy. They make them happy. They say thank you to the tree and their moms. They share their apples with a bird and a squirrel. They are kind and generous.
+
+They finish their apples and throw the cores in the trash. They wash their hands and faces. They hug their moms and each other. They say goodbye to the park and the animals. They go home with big smiles. They had a fun and yummy day.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a stream near their house. It was shiny and cold and made a nice sound. They wanted to catch some fish with their hands, but the fish were too fast and slippery.
+
+"Let's make a trap for the fish," Ben said. He was very creative and liked to invent things. He looked around and saw some sticks and leaves. He broke the sticks and tied them together with some vines. He made a net with the leaves and put it in the stream. He hoped the fish would swim into it and get stuck.
+
+Lila watched Ben and thought he was very smart. She wanted to help him, but she did not know how. She saw a big rock near the stream. She thought it would be fun to throw it in the water and make a splash. She picked up the rock and threw it as hard as she could.
+
+But the rock did not land in the water. It landed on Ben's net and broke it. The sticks and leaves flew everywhere and the fish swam away. Ben was very angry and sad. He had worked hard to make the net and now it was ruined.
+
+"Lila, why did you do that?" Ben shouted. "You broke my net and scared the fish. You are so mean and silly."
+
+Lila felt bad and sorry. She did not mean to break Ben's net. She just wanted to have fun. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know your net was there. I just wanted to play with you. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Ben looked at Lila and saw her tears. He felt bad and sorry too. He knew Lila did not do it on purpose. He loved his sister and did not want to hurt her. He said, "It's okay, Lila. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I love you and I want to play with you too."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to make a new net together. They used more sticks and leaves and wrapped them with vines. They put it in the stream and waited for the fish. They were happy and proud of their work. They learned to share and cooperate and be kind to each other.
+Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many shiny things inside. They were coins and jewels that their grandfather had collected.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Ben said. "Let's take some and buy candy and toys!"
+
+"No, we can't do that!" Tom said. "These are not ours. They belong to grandpa. He is elderly and he loves them. We have to tell mom and dad."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He grabbed a handful of coins and ran away. Tom followed him and tried to stop him.
+
+"Ben, stop! You are breaking the law! You are stealing! Mom and dad will be angry!" Tom shouted.
+
+But Ben did not care. He ran to the candy store and tried to buy some sweets. But the store owner saw the coins and knew they were old and valuable. He called the police and they came and caught Ben.
+
+"Where did you get these coins, young man?" the police officer asked.
+
+Ben was scared and did not answer. He wished he had listened to Tom.
+
+The police officer took Ben to the station and called his parents. They came and were very sad and disappointed. They had to pay a fine and apologize to grandpa. Grandpa was also sad and hurt. He did not want to see Ben anymore.
+
+Ben learned a hard lesson. He lost his toys, his candy, his money and his grandpa's love. He realized that stealing was wrong and that he should have told the truth. He also realized that he should have respected his elderly grandpa and his law. He was sorry, but it was too late. He had ruined everything.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tunnel near the slide. It was dark and scary.
+
+"Let's go inside the tunnel!" Tim said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, no, no!" Sam said. He was afraid and careful. "The tunnel is not safe. There might be bugs or rats or monsters inside. I do not recommend going in the tunnel."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Sam. He ran to the tunnel and crawled inside. He wanted to see what was there. He did not think of the danger.
+
+Sam waited outside the tunnel. He hoped Tim would come back soon. He was worried and sad. He wished Tim would listen to him.
+
+After a while, Tim came out of the tunnel. He was dirty and crying. He had scratches and bites all over his body. He had met a big cat inside the tunnel. The cat was angry and crazy. It had chased and attacked Tim. Tim had barely escaped.
+
+"Sam, Sam, I'm sorry!" Tim said. He hugged Sam and apologized. "You were right. The tunnel was not safe. It was a bad idea to go inside. I should have listened to you. You are a good friend."
+
+Sam was glad that Tim was okay. He forgave Tim and comforted him. He helped Tim clean his wounds and go home. He was a good friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends when they give you good advice. Do not do things that are dangerous or foolish. Be careful and respectful.
+Lily and Sam were lost in the big sand. They were very thirsty and tired. They saw a green spot far away. "Maybe it is water and trees," Lily said. "Let's go there."
+
+They walked and walked, but the green spot did not get closer. Sam was nervous. He did not like the big sand. He wanted to go home. "Are we there yet?" he asked. "I don't know," Lily said. "But we have to try."
+
+They walked and walked, but the green spot did not get bigger. It was very hot and bright. They felt dizzy and weak. They fell down on the sand. "I guess we will never find the oasis," Lily said. "I guess we will never see our mom and dad again," Sam said. They closed their eyes and did not wake up.
+Tom was a big boy who liked to play outside. He had a cane that he found in the park. He used it to poke things and make noises. He thought it was fun, but his mom did not. She told him to be careful with the cane, because it was sharp and could hurt someone.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big dog in the park. He wanted to play with it, but the dog did not. The dog barked and growled at Tom. Tom was not scared. He thought the dog was silly. He waved his cane at the dog and said, "Go away, dog!"
+
+The dog did not go away. It jumped at Tom and bit his cane. The cane broke in half and the sharp end flew into Tom's eye. Tom screamed and dropped the other half of the cane. He felt a lot of pain and blood. He wished he had listened to his mom.
+
+His mom heard his scream and ran to him. She saw the cane and the dog and the blood. She was very scared and angry. She shooed the dog away and picked up Tom. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry."
+
+She took him to the doctor, who gave him a bandage and a patch. He said Tom was lucky, but he might not see well with his eye anymore. Tom was sad and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They have fun every day.
+
+One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Tom and Mia are sweaty and thirsty. They want to find something cool.
+
+They see a fountain. The fountain has water that goes up and down. The water is cool and shiny. Tom and Mia run to the fountain. They want to touch the water.
+
+But there is a sign. The sign says: "Do not play in the fountain. It is not safe." Tom and Mia stop. They look at the sign. They look at the fountain. They look at each other.
+
+They see a switch. The switch is near the fountain. The switch can turn the fountain on and off. Tom and Mia have an idea. They want to play a game.
+
+They take turns to press the switch. When one of them presses the switch, the fountain goes off. When the other one presses the switch, the fountain goes on. They laugh and giggle. They try to catch the water. They feel cool and happy.
+
+They do not see the man. The man is angry. He is the one who takes care of the fountain. He does not like that Tom and Mia are playing with the switch. He shouts at them. He tells them to go away.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the fountain. They run back to the park. They remain friends. They decide to play in the sandbox. They do not play with the switch again. They are sorry. They did not know. They just wanted to have fun.
+Tom and Lily liked to play outside in the snow. They made snowmen, snowballs and snow angels. They wore warm hats, coats and boots. They had fun with their dog, Spot, who ran and jumped in the snow.
+
+One day, the weather was very cold. The sky was gray and the wind was strong. Tom and Lily's mom said, "You can play outside for a little while, but come back soon. It might freeze later." Tom and Lily nodded and went outside with Spot.
+
+They played in the snow as usual, but they felt colder and colder. They saw ice on the trees and the pond. They heard a loud noise. It was the snow plow. It came to clear the road. Tom and Lily waved at the driver. He waved back and said, "Be careful, kids. It's freezing out here. Go home soon."
+
+Tom and Lily decided to go home. They called Spot, but he did not come. He was busy digging in the snow. He found something shiny. It was a metal can. He wanted to see what was inside. He bit the can and opened it. It was full of water. He licked the water. It was sweet and tasty. He drank more and more.
+
+Tom and Lily came closer to Spot. They saw the can. They saw the label. It said, "Soda." They knew what soda was. They liked soda. They wanted to drink some too. They reached for the can. But they were too late. The soda was frozen. Spot was frozen too. He could not move. He could not bark. He was a frozen dog.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They cried for help. They hugged Spot. They hoped he would be okay. They heard a siren. It was an ambulance. It came to help Spot. The driver said, "Don't worry, kids. We'll take him to the vet. He'll be fine. He just needs to thaw out." He put Spot on a stretcher and drove away.
+
+Tom and Lily went home with their mom. They were sad and sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not play outside when it is too cold. They should not drink soda when it is too cold. They should listen to their mom when she says it might freeze. They hoped Spot would come back soon. They missed him. They loved him.
+Lily loved to watch the big planes in the sky. She wanted to be a pilot when she grew up. She liked to pretend that she was flying a plane with her toy steering wheel and her teddy bear as her co-pilot.
+
+One day, her dad came home with a surprise. He had a big box with a bow on it. He said, "Lily, this is for you. I know you love planes, so I got you something special."
+
+Lily opened the box and saw a beautiful model plane. It was red and white and had wings and a propeller. It looked like a real plane, but smaller. Lily was so happy. She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's the best gift ever!"
+
+Lily played with her plane every day. She flew it around the house and the yard. She made engine noises and landing sounds. She imagined that she was going to different places and seeing different things. She had so much fun with her plane.
+
+But one day, her plane was gone. She looked everywhere, but she could not find it. She asked her mom and her dad, but they did not know where it was. She felt sad and angry. She missed her plane. She cried and said, "Where is my plane? Who took my plane? I want my plane back!"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't know what happened to your plane. Maybe someone borrowed it and forgot to return it. Maybe it flew away and got lost. Maybe it broke and someone threw it away. I don't know, but I know you miss it. I miss it too. It was a very nice plane."
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "Do you think we can find it? Do you think we can get another one?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "Maybe, Lily. Maybe. But you know what? You don't need a plane to be a pilot. You have a great imagination and a brave heart. You can fly anywhere you want in your mind. And you have me and your mom and your teddy bear to fly with you. We love you, Lily. You are our special pilot."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, dad. You are my best co-pilot. Can we fly together now?"
+
+Her dad nodded and said, "Of course, Lily. Let's fly together. Where do you want to go?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "Let's go somewhere different. Somewhere we have never been before. Somewhere with a lot of planes."
+
+Her dad said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go. Ready, set, fly!"
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cross on the grass. It was made of wood and had flowers on it.
+
+"Who put this here?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone who is sad," Tom said.
+
+They went closer to the cross. They saw a card on it. It had a name and a picture of a dog.
+
+"Look, this is for a dog who died. His name was Max," Lily said.
+
+She felt sorry for the dog and his family. She picked a flower from the cross and said, "Thank you, Max, for being a good dog. I hope you are happy in heaven."
+
+Tom nodded. He picked a flower too and said, "Thank you, Max, for sharing your cross with us. I hope you have fun with the other dogs in heaven."
+
+They put the flowers back on the cross. They smiled at each other. They were happy to have a friend who cared. They held hands and walked away.
+Sara and Ben are playing hide and seek in the living room. Sara is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Sara counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+She looks under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the closet. She cannot find Ben. She wonders where he is hiding. She hears a noise from the kitchen. She tiptoes to the door and peeks inside.
+
+She sees Ben sitting on the table, holding a spoon. He is eating something from a big pot. It smells good. It is dinner. It is soup. Sara says, "Ben, I found you! You are not supposed to eat dinner before mom and dad. That is not fair!"
+
+Ben looks at Sara and smiles. He says, "Sorry, Sara. I was hungry. And the soup is so yummy. It is smooth and warm and has carrots and potatoes and chicken. Do you want some?"
+
+Sara feels hungry too. She says, "Yes, please. But we have to be quick. Mom and dad will be home soon. And we have to clean up the mess. And we have to say sorry for eating dinner early."
+
+Ben and Sara share the soup and enjoy it. They wipe their mouths and put the spoon and the pot in the sink. They run back to the living room and pretend they were still playing hide and seek. They hope mom and dad will not notice. They are happy and full. They love soup. And they love each other.
+Anna loved her scooter. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She liked to ride it around the park and ring the bell at the birds and the dogs. She was very good at balancing and turning and going fast.
+
+One day, she saw a sign at the park. It said "Display of Enormous Scooters". Anna was curious. What was a display? What was enormous? She asked her mom to take her to see.
+
+They walked to a big field where there were many scooters. But they were not like Anna's scooter. They were very big and very loud. Some had two wheels, some had three, some had four. Some had lights and horns and flags. Some had people sitting on them, wearing helmets and jackets. They were making a show. They were doing tricks and stunts and races. They were making a lot of noise and smoke.
+
+Anna watched the display with wide eyes. She thought the enormous scooters were amazing and scary and fun. She clapped and cheered and pointed. She wanted to try one, but she knew they were too big for her. She was happy with her own scooter. It was just right for her.
+
+She thanked her mom for taking her to see the display. She said it was the best thing ever. Then she got on her scooter and rode away, ringing her bell. She felt proud and happy. She loved her scooter.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some sticks. They pretended the box was a castle and the sticks were swords. They had fun fighting the bad guys and saving the princess.
+
+"Tom, I'm hungry," Lily said. "Can we go inside and bake something?"
+
+"Okay, but we have to be careful. The bad guys might follow us," Tom said. They took their swords and ran to the house.
+
+In the kitchen, they found some flour, eggs, butter and sugar. They mixed them in a big bowl. They put some of the mix in a small pan and some in a big pan. They put the pans in the oven.
+
+"What are we baking?" Lily asked.
+
+"We are baking a cake and some cookies," Tom said. "The cake is for the princess and the cookies are for us."
+
+They waited for a while. They smelled something good. They opened the oven and saw their cake and cookies. They were brown and yummy.
+
+"Wow, they look great!" Lily said. "Can we eat them now?"
+
+"Yes, but we have to share with Mom and Dad," Tom said. They took their cake and cookies out of the oven. They put them on a plate. They took their swords and went to the living room.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we baked something for you!" they said. "We have a cake and some cookies. Do you want some?"
+
+Mom and Dad smiled. They were proud of Lily and Tom. They thanked them and tasted their cake and cookies. They were delicious.
+
+"You are very good bakers," Mom said. "And very brave knights."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They ate their cake and cookies. They shared their story. They had a good day.
+Lily and Sam went to the store with Mom. They saw many toys and books and clothes. Lily liked a doll with long hair and a pink dress. Sam liked a truck with big wheels and a loud horn. They asked Mom if they could have them.
+
+Mom said, "No, not today. We are here to buy food and milk and eggs. You have enough toys at home. You can admire them, but you can't buy them."
+
+Lily and Sam felt frustrated. They wanted the new toys. They thought they were better than their old toys. They started to cry and whine.
+
+Mom said, "Stop crying and whining. That is not nice. If you behave well, maybe we can come back another day and get a treat. But only if you are good."
+
+Lily and Sam stopped crying and whining. They knew Mom was right. They had many toys at home that they loved. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will be good."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's my good kids. I love you very much. Now let's go and get our food and milk and eggs. And maybe a cookie for dessert."
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the garden. They saw many things that they knew, like flowers, birds and bugs. But one day, they saw something unknown. It was big and green and round, and it was on the ground near the fence.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Anna said. "Let's go and see."
+
+They walked to the unknown thing and touched it. It was hard and smooth. They tried to lift it, but it was too heavy.
+
+"Maybe it is a ball," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it is a hat," Anna said.
+
+They decided to roll it to their mom and dad, who were sitting on the porch. They pushed and pushed, and the unknown thing rolled slowly. It made a funny sound, like thump-thump-thump.
+
+Mom and dad saw them and smiled.
+
+"What do you have there, kids?" mom asked.
+
+"We don't know," Tom and Anna said. "We found it in the garden."
+
+Mom and dad looked at the unknown thing and laughed.
+
+"That is a melon," dad said. "It is a fruit that you can eat. It is sweet and juicy inside."
+
+"Really?" Tom and Anna said. "Can we try it?"
+
+"Sure," mom said. "Let me cut it for you."
+
+Mom took a knife and cut the melon in half. She gave a piece to Tom and a piece to Anna. They saw that the melon was red and soft inside, and it had many black seeds.
+
+They took a bite and tasted the melon. It was delicious. They liked it very much.
+
+They clapped their hands and said, "Thank you, mom and dad. We love melon."
+
+Mom and dad clapped their hands too and said, "You're welcome, kids. We love you."
+Lila and Ben are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make shapes. Lila folds a paper into a triangle. Ben folds a paper into a square.
+
+"Look, I made a hat!" Lila says. She puts the triangle on her head.
+
+"Look, I made a box!" Ben says. He puts the square on the floor.
+
+They laugh and clap. They make more shapes with paper.
+
+Then, Mom comes in. She has a large tray. On the tray, there are cookies. The cookies are hot. Mom says, "I baked some cookies for you. Be careful, they are hot. Wait for them to cool down."
+
+Lila and Ben are happy. They love cookies. They say, "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+Mom puts the tray on the table. She says, "You can have one cookie each. But first, you have to clean up your paper mess."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They fold the paper again. They put the paper in a bin. They wash their hands. They go to the table. They pick one cookie each. They blow on the cookie. They take a bite. The cookie is yummy. They smile and say, "Mmm!"
+Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. She did not want to play or eat. Her mom was worried. She called the doctor.
+
+The doctor came to Lily's house. He had a bag with tools. He looked at Lily's eyes, ears and mouth. He listened to her chest. He said, "Lily has a cold. She needs some medicine and rest."
+
+He gave Lily a spoon with syrup. It was sweet and sticky. He said, "This will help you feel better. Take it twice a day." He gave Lily a sticker with a smiley face. He said, "You are a brave girl. I hope you get well soon."
+
+Lily smiled a little. She said, "Thank you, doctor." She hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my precious girl."
+
+The doctor was happy. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. You have a good mom. She takes good care of you." He said goodbye and left.
+
+Lily took her medicine and rested. She drank water and ate soup. She read books and watched cartoons. She felt better every day. Her cough and fever went away. She was ready to play and eat again.
+
+Lily was healthy. She was happy. Her mom was proud. She said, "You are a successful girl. You beat the cold." She gave Lily a big hug and a kiss. Lily said, "You are the best mom. You helped me beat the cold." They laughed and cuddled. They were a happy family.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big rope hanging from a tree. Tom wanted to swing on the rope, but Lily was scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Tom said. He grabbed the rope and ran to the tree. He jumped and swung in the air.
+
+"No, Tom, it's dangerous!" Lily said. She ran after him and tried to pull him down. She was afraid he would fall and hurt himself.
+
+"Let go, Lily, you're ignorant!" Tom said. He did not like Lily telling him what to do. He tried to resist her and swing higher.
+
+But Lily did not let go. She was stubborn and worried. She pulled harder and harder, until the rope snapped. Tom and Lily both fell to the ground with a thud.
+
+They were both hurt and crying. They wished they had listened to each other and played nicely. They learned that the rope was not a toy, and that being ignorant and resisting was not good.
+Lila wanted to play with her new stamps. She had many stamps with different animals and colors. She liked to stamp them on paper and make pictures. But her mom said no. She said Lila had to eat her lunch first.
+
+"But mom, I'm not hungry!" Lila said. "I want to play with my stamps now!"
+
+"No, Lila, you have to eat your lunch. You can play with your stamps later. I don't permit you to play with them now. They will make a mess on the table." Mom said.
+
+Lila felt helpless. She did not like her lunch. It was green and mushy. She did not want to eat it. She wanted to play with her stamps. She looked at her stamps. They looked so fun and pretty. She had an idea.
+
+She took one stamp and hid it under her napkin. She pretended to eat her lunch. She put some food in her mouth and then spit it out in her napkin. She did this until her plate was empty. Then she said, "Mom, I'm done! Can I play with my stamps now?"
+
+Mom looked at Lila's plate. She saw that it was empty. She did not see the napkin. She said, "Good job, Lila! You ate your lunch. Yes, you can play with your stamps now. But be careful not to make a mess."
+
+Lila smiled. She took her stamp and ran to her room. She did not know that mom saw the napkin. Mom saw the food and the stamp in the napkin. She shook her head. She knew that Lila was naughty. She decided to talk to her later. She hoped that Lila would learn to tell the truth.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters with bows and arrows. They made arrows from sticks and feathers, and bows from vines and branches.
+
+One day, they saw a big deer near a stream. It was drinking water and looked peaceful. Sara and Ben wanted to catch it. They hid behind a bush and aimed their arrows.
+
+"Ready, Ben?" Sara whispered.
+
+"Ready, Sara," Ben whispered back.
+
+They let go of their arrows at the same time. But they missed the deer. Instead, they hit a bee hive on a tree. The bees were angry. They flew out of the hive and buzzed around Sara and Ben.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara and Ben cried. They ran away from the bees, but some of them stung them on their arms and legs. They dropped their bows and arrows and ran back to their home.
+
+They told their mom what happened. She put some cream on their stings and gave them hugs. She said they should not try to hurt animals, even if they were playing. She said animals have feelings too, and they want to live in peace.
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They wept and said they were sorry. They said they would not do it again. They said they would be kind to animals. Their mom smiled and said she was proud of them. She said they learned a good lesson. She said she loved them. Sara and Ben felt better. They hugged their mom and said they loved her too.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to scare each other. They think it is fun.
+
+One day, Tom has a new idea. He says to Mia, "Let's play a game. You hide under the bed. I will count to ten. Then I will look for you. But you have to be very quiet. OK?"
+
+Mia nods. She likes to hide. She thinks it is easy. She crawls under the bed. Tom starts to count. "One, two, three..."
+
+Tom counts to ten. Then he stops. He looks around the room. He does not see Mia. He smiles. He knows where she is. He walks to the window. He opens it. He says in a loud voice, "Mia, I see you! You are outside! You are on the tree!"
+
+Mia hears Tom. She is scared. She thinks he is telling the truth. She thinks she is on the tree. She does not know how she got there. She screams. She comes out from under the bed. She runs to the window. She wants to see.
+
+But Tom is not telling the truth. He is lying. He is trying to scare Mia. He thinks it is funny. He waits for Mia to come. He wants to see her face.
+
+Mia comes to the window. She looks outside. She does not see the tree. She sees the street. She sees a big car. The car is coming fast. The car is very loud. The car does not see Mia. Mia does not see the car.
+
+Tom sees the car. He sees Mia. He is not smiling. He is not laughing. He is scared. He tries to pull Mia back. He tries to close the window. But it is too late. The car hits Mia. Mia falls. Mia does not get up.
+
+Tom cries. He cries very loud. He cries for Mia. He cries for himself. He wishes he did not scare Mia. He wishes he did not lie. He wishes he did not play the game. But he did. And now Mia is gone. And Tom is alone.
+Sara and Tom like to watch cartoons on TV. They think cartoons are funny and colorful. Sometimes they pretend to be cartoon characters and play games.
+
+One day, they see a new cartoon on TV. It is about a girl who can fly and a boy who can talk to animals. Sara and Tom think this is amazing and wish they could do that too.
+
+"Wow, look at her! She can fly in the sky!" Sara says.
+
+"I want to fly too! How does she do that?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she has magic wings or something," Sara guesses.
+
+They watch the cartoon for a while and then they have an idea. They go to their room and look for things they can use to make wings and animal masks. They find some paper, crayons, scissors, tape and string. They draw and cut and stick and tie until they have their own wings and masks.
+
+"Look at us! We are like the cartoon characters!" Sara says.
+
+"Yeah, we are! Let's go outside and play!" Tom says.
+
+They run outside with their wings and masks. They flap their arms and make animal noises. They pretend to fly and talk to animals. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then they see their mom coming home from work. She sees them and smiles. She walks over to them and gives them a hug.
+
+"Hello, my little cartoon characters! What are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are playing! We are like the cartoon characters on TV! They can fly and talk to animals!" Sara says.
+
+"That's very creative and imaginative! I'm glad you are having fun!" mom says.
+
+"But mom, can we really fly and talk to animals?" Tom asks.
+
+Mom laughs and shakes her head.
+
+"No, my dear. You can't really fly and talk to animals. That's only in cartoons. Cartoons are not real. They are just stories and pictures that someone made up. They are fun to watch, but they are not true," mom explains.
+
+Sara and Tom look at each other. They feel a little sad. They liked to pretend they could fly and talk to animals.
+
+"But mom, can we still play with our wings and masks?" Sara asks.
+
+"Of course you can, my sweeties. You can play whatever you want. You can use your imagination and make up your own stories and pictures. That's what makes you special and unique. You don't need to be like the cartoon characters. You are wonderful just the way you are," mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They hug mom and thank her. They realize that mom is right. They don't need to be like the cartoon characters. They are happy to be themselves. They are ordinary, but they are also extraordinary.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy guns. They had many toy guns of different colors and shapes. They liked to shoot at each other and pretend to be cowboys or soldiers or spies. Sometimes they played in their house, sometimes they played in the yard, and sometimes they played in the park.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big house with a fence and a garden. They thought it looked like a castle or a fort. They wanted to play there. They asked their mom if they could go inside. Their mom said no, it was not their house, it was someone else's house. They had to stay in the park.
+
+But Ben and Sam did not listen to their mom. They were spoiled and did not like to follow rules. They waited until their mom was busy talking to another mom. Then they ran to the house and climbed over the fence. They sneaked into the garden and hid behind the bushes. They saw a window and decided to shoot at it with their toy guns.
+
+They did not know that the window belonged to a girl named Mia. Mia was also spoiled and did not like to share. She had many toys and dolls and books in her room. She liked to play with them by herself. She did not like visitors or noise. She was reading a book when she heard a loud bang on her window. She looked up and saw two boys with toy guns outside. She was angry and scared. She ran to her door and yelled for her dad.
+
+Her dad came and saw what was happening. He was also angry and scared. He opened the window and shouted at Ben and Sam. He told them to go away and never come back. He said they were rude and naughty and could have broken the window. He said he would call their mom and tell her what they did.
+
+Ben and Sam were frightened and ashamed. They dropped their toy guns and ran back to the park. They found their mom and told her they were sorry. Their mom was very upset and disappointed. She said they had to apologize to Mia and her dad. She said they had to learn to respect other people's houses and things. She said they had to be more careful and kind when they played with their toy guns. She said they had to be better brothers and sons.
+Lily and Tom were playing with sand at the park. They had buckets and shovels and made a big castle. Lily was very proud of her castle. She raised her bucket high and said, "Look at my castle! It is the best!"
+
+Tom was jealous of Lily's castle. He wanted to have the best castle too. He raised his shovel and said, "No, my castle is better!" He threw some sand at Lily's castle and broke it.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She raised her hand and said, "Stop it, Tom! You are mean!" She threw some sand back at Tom and hit his face.
+
+Tom cried and ran away. He had sand in his eyes and mouth. He felt sorry for what he did.
+
+Lily felt sorry too. She realized that throwing sand was not nice. She ran after Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I should not have thrown sand at you. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry too, Lily. I should not have been jealous of your castle. Can we share our buckets and shovels and make a new castle together?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. That sounds like fun. Sharing is caring."
+
+They hugged and went back to the sand. They worked together and made a bigger and better castle. They were happy and learned a lesson.
+Lily wanted to help her mom make a cake for dad's birthday. She asked mom if she could stir the batter in the big bowl. Mom said yes, but she had to be careful and not make a mess. Lily made a promise to mom that she would stir slowly and gently.
+
+Lily took the big spoon and started to stir the batter. She liked how it looked like chocolate and smelled like vanilla. She wanted to taste it, but mom said no, it was not ready yet. Lily stirred and stirred, but she was anxious to see the cake. She wondered how long it would take to bake in the oven.
+
+Mom said it was time to pour the batter into the pan. She helped Lily hold the bowl and tilt it over the pan. Lily watched as the batter slid out of the bowl and filled the pan. She saw some drops of batter on the table and licked them with her tongue. They were yummy!
+
+Mom put the pan in the oven and set the timer. She told Lily they had to wait for the cake to bake and then cool down before they could decorate it. Lily asked mom if she could lick the spoon and the bowl. Mom said yes, but she had to wash her hands and face first. Lily ran to the sink and washed herself. She was happy to help mom make a cake for dad. She hoped he would like it and give her a big hug. She loved her mom and dad very much.
+Tommy loved spaghetti. He ate it every day for lunch. He liked to twirl it on his fork and slurp it up. He did not like to share it with anyone.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He brought his spaghetti in a box. He saw a big sandbox. He wanted to play there. He put his box on the bench and ran to the sandbox.
+
+He found a shovel and a bucket. He started to dig a hole. He wanted to bury something. He looked around. He saw his box of spaghetti. He had an idea. He ran to the bench and grabbed his box. He ran back to the sandbox and dumped his spaghetti in the hole. He covered it with sand. He smiled. He had buried his spaghetti.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She had seen him bury his spaghetti. She was angry. She walked to the sandbox and dug up his spaghetti. It was dirty and sandy. She threw it in the trash.
+
+"Mom, why did you do that?" Tommy asked. He was sad. He wanted his spaghetti.
+
+"Tommy, that was very wasteful and ignorant. You don't bury food. You eat it or share it. Now you have no lunch and you made a mess. You have to apologize and clean up the sandbox." his mom said.
+
+Tommy did not understand. He liked to bury things. He thought it was fun. He did not know why his mom was mad. He did not want to apologize or clean up. He started to cry. He wished he had his spaghetti.
+Tom and Lily wanted to go to the ocean with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the fish and shells. But mom and dad said it was too cold and windy today. They said they could go to the park instead.
+
+Tom and Lily did not like that. They wanted to see the ocean. They said, "Please, please, please, can we go to the ocean?" They said it over and over. They insisted.
+
+Mom and dad sighed. They said, "Fine, we can go to the ocean for a little bit. But you have to wear your coats and hats and gloves. And you can't go in the water. It's too cold and dangerous."
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They put on their warm clothes and got in the car. They were happy and excited. They sang songs on the way.
+
+When they got to the ocean, they saw that it was very big and loud and gray. The wind blew hard and made the waves splash. Tom and Lily felt a little scared. They held mom and dad's hands.
+
+They walked along the shore and looked for shells and rocks. They found some pretty ones and put them in their pockets. They also saw some birds and crabs and seaweed. They asked mom and dad what they were.
+
+Mom and dad told them the names and stories of the things they saw. They said the ocean was full of life and wonder. They said it was also very powerful and strong. They said they had to respect and protect the ocean.
+
+Tom and Lily listened and learned. They felt curious and amazed. They also felt a little cold and tired. They said, "Mom, dad, can we go to the park now?"
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They said, "Sure, let's go to the park. You did very well at the ocean. You were brave and smart and polite. We are proud of you."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged mom and dad. They said, "Thank you for taking us to the ocean. We love you. And we love the ocean too. But we also love the park."
+
+They got in the car and drove to the park. They played on the swings and slides and seesaws. They had fun and laughed. They were happy. They forgot about the cold and the wind and the waves. They only remembered the ocean's beauty and mystery.
+Lily and Tom are playing with dolls. Lily has a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. Tom has a small doll with short hair and a blue shirt. They pretend that the dolls are friends and go to a party.
+
+"Hello, I am Anna. You are very pretty," Lily makes her doll say to Tom's doll.
+
+"Hello, I am Ben. Thank you, you are pretty too," Tom makes his doll say to Lily's doll.
+
+They make the dolls dance and talk. Lily sees a shiny pin on the floor. She picks it up and puts it in her doll's hair.
+
+"Look, Tom, my doll has a new hair clip. It is very shiny," Lily says.
+
+Tom looks at the pin. He thinks it is fake. He wants to see if it is real.
+
+"Can I touch it?" he asks.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. It is sharp," Lily says.
+
+Tom reaches for the pin. He pulls it too hard. The pin comes out of the doll's hair. It pokes Tom's finger. Tom cries out. He drops the pin and the doll. The doll falls on the floor. The pin falls on the floor too.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! It hurts!" Tom says.
+
+Lily feels sorry for Tom. She puts down her doll and hugs Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" she asks.
+
+Tom shows Lily his finger. It has a small red spot.
+
+"It is not fake. It is real. It is a bad pin. It made me bleed," he says.
+
+Lily takes Tom's finger and kisses it.
+
+"It is okay, Tom. It is a small boo-boo. It will get better soon. Do you want a band-aid?" she asks.
+
+Tom nods. He feels better. He smiles at Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I dropped your doll," he says.
+
+Lily smiles back. She picks up her doll and Tom's doll. She gives Tom his doll.
+
+"It is okay, Tom. My doll is fine. She is not hurt. She is a fake doll. She does not feel anything," she says.
+
+They hug each other and their dolls. They go back to playing. They forget about the pin. They are happy.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with crayons and draw pictures. One day, Sara has a new box of crayons. She has many colors. She wants to share them with Tom.
+
+She says, "Tom, do you want to come to my house? I have new crayons. We can draw together."
+
+Tom says, "Yes, Sara, I want to come. I like crayons. Thank you for inviting me."
+
+They go to Sara's house. They sit on the floor and open the box of crayons. They see red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They are happy.
+
+They start to draw. Sara draws a flower. Tom draws a car. They use different colors. They show each other their pictures. They say, "Wow, you are good at drawing. I like your picture."
+
+They hear a noise. It is Sara's cat. The cat is curious. It sees the crayons. It thinks they are toys. It jumps on the floor and tries to catch them.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They think the cat will break their crayons. They say, "No, cat, no! Leave our crayons alone. They are not for you. They are for drawing."
+
+The cat does not listen. It plays with the crayons. It rolls them, bites them, and chases them. It makes a mess.
+
+Sara and Tom are sad. They say, "Cat, you are naughty. You ruined our crayons. How can we draw now?"
+
+The cat does not understand. It thinks they are playing too. It is harmless. It just wants to have fun. It purrs and rubs against them. It says, "Meow, meow. I like you. I like crayons. Can we be friends?"
+Tim and Lily were playing in the backyard. They had a big box and some paper. They wanted to make a plane that could fly.
+
+"I have scissors," Lily said. "We can cut the paper and make wings."
+
+"Good idea," Tim said. "But be careful. Scissors are sharp. They can hurt you."
+
+Lily nodded. She was very careful with the scissors. She cut two big wings and taped them to the box. Tim cut a small tail and taped it to the back. They also drew a window and a door on the box.
+
+"Look, our plane is ready!" Lily said. "Let's fly it!"
+
+They lifted the box and ran across the yard. They pretended they were flying in the sky. They made zooming and whooshing sounds.
+
+But then, a strong wind blew. It lifted the box and the paper wings. Tim and Lily let go of the box. They watched as it flew away.
+
+"Oh no, our plane!" Tim said. "Where is it going?"
+
+"It's going to the clouds," Lily said. "Maybe it will meet some birds."
+
+They felt sad. They had worked hard to make the plane. They wanted to play with it more.
+
+But then, they saw something shiny in the grass. It was the scissors. They had fallen out of the box.
+
+"Look, the scissors!" Lily said. "We can make another plane!"
+
+"Or maybe something else," Tim said. "Something tough that the wind can't blow away."
+
+They smiled. They picked up the scissors and the paper. They had more fun ideas. They went back to the backyard. They kept playing and making things. They forgot about the plane. They were happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lila had a soft panda that she loved very much. She hugged it and said, "You are my best friend, panda. You are so calm and nice."
+
+Ben saw Lila's panda and wanted to play with it too. He reached for it and said, "Give me the panda, Lila. I want to play with it." He pulled the panda from Lila's arms and ran away.
+
+Lila was very sad and angry. She cried and said, "No, Ben! That is my panda! Give it back to me!" She chased Ben around the living room, but he was too fast.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lila and Ben fighting over the panda and said, "Stop, children! Why are you fighting? You need to share and be kind to each other."
+
+She took the panda from Ben and gave it back to Lila. She said, "Lila, this is your panda, and you can play with it. But you also need to let Ben have a turn sometimes. Ben, you cannot take things from Lila without asking. You need to say please and thank you."
+
+Lila and Ben looked at Mom and said, "Sorry, Mom." They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, children. Now, why don't you play together and complete this puzzle? It has a picture of a panda and other animals. It will be fun and easy."
+
+Lila and Ben agreed and went to the table. They took the puzzle pieces and started to fit them together. They helped each other and said, "Look, this is the panda's head. This is the panda's belly. This is the panda's paw." They were happy and calm. They completed the puzzle and showed it to Mom. Mom clapped and said, "Well done, children! You made a beautiful puzzle. And you also learned to share and be kind. I am very proud of you." Lila and Ben hugged Mom and the panda and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red mailbox near the street. They wondered what was inside. Sara said, "Let's open it and see." Tom said, "No, that's bad. That's stealing. We can't take other people's things."
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran to the mailbox and pulled the handle. It was not locked. She opened it and saw many letters and cards. She said, "Wow, look at all these. They are pretty and colorful. I want some." She grabbed a handful and ran back to Tom.
+
+Tom was scared. He said, "Sara, you are naughty. You have to put them back. Someone will be sad if they don't get their mail." Sara said, "No, they are mine now. They are better than our cheap toys. They have pictures and stickers and words." She did not care about Tom or the people who sent the mail.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was the mailman. He saw Sara and Tom with the mail. He was angry. He said, "Hey, you two. What are you doing? Give me back the mail. That's stealing. That's wrong." He ran towards them.
+
+Sara and Tom were very afraid. They dropped the mail and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. They learned a lesson. They never tried to steal from the mailbox again. They said sorry to each other and to the mailman. They played with their own toys and did not take what was not theirs.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set with many tracks and cars. They could make loops and bridges and tunnels with the tracks, and make the train go fast or slow with a remote.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to separate their toys and put them in different boxes. She said they had to share with other kids who did not have many toys. Lily and Ben did not like this idea. They did not want to give away their train set.
+
+"But mom, we love our train set!" Lily said. "It is our best toy!"
+
+"Yes, mom, we play with it every day!" Ben said. "It is so much fun!"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I know you love your train set, and you are very gifted at making loops and bridges and tunnels. But there are other kids who would also love to play with it, and they do not have any toys. You can make them happy by sharing your train set with them. And you can still keep some of your other toys."
+
+Lily and Ben thought about what mom said. They felt sad, but they also felt kind. They decided to separate their train set and put it in a big box. They also put some of their other toys in the box, like books and dolls and cars. They wrote a note on the box that said, "To the kids who need toys, from Lily and Ben. We hope you enjoy our train set and our other toys. Have fun making loops and bridges and tunnels!"
+
+Mom was very proud of them. She said, "You are very generous and caring, Lily and Ben. You are giving a wonderful gift to other kids. I love you very much." She took the box and put it in the car. She said they would drive to a place where they could give the box to the kids who needed toys.
+
+Lily and Ben waved goodbye to their train set and their other toys. They felt a little sad, but they also felt happy. They knew they had done a good thing. They still had some toys left, and they could play with them together. They hugged each other and said, "We are the best twins ever!"
+Sara and her mom moved to a new house. Sara was curious about the new house. She wanted to see everything. But mom said they had to unpack first. Sara helped mom unpack some boxes. She found her toys, her books, and her blanket.
+
+Mom said it was time for a nap. Sara was not sleepy. She wanted to play. But mom said they had a long day and needed to rest. Sara nodded. She took her blanket and went to her new room. She put her blanket on her bed. She saw a window next to her bed.
+
+Sara went to the window. She looked outside. She saw a big yard with a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. She also saw a fence. Behind the fence, she saw something furry and brown. It moved and made a noise. Sara wondered what it was. She wanted to go outside and see. She was very curious.
+
+Sara opened the window. She climbed on the window sill. She reached for the fence. She was about to jump. But then she heard mom's voice. "Sara, what are you doing?" Mom asked. She sounded angry and scared. Sara turned around. She saw mom in the doorway. She looked at mom. She looked at the window. She looked at the fence. She felt sorry and scared.
+
+Sara said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see what's behind the fence. It's furry and brown and makes a noise." Mom said, "That's a dog, Sara. A big dog. He lives next door. He might be friendly, but he might also bite. You can't go outside without me. You could get hurt. You have to stay in your room and take a nap. Do you understand?" Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't do it again." Mom said, "Good. I love you, Sara. Now, come down from the window and get in your bed. I'll tuck you in and read you a story." Sara said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you." She climbed down from the window and got in her bed. Mom tucked her in and read her a story. Sara listened to the story. She felt sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the dog behind the fence. She hoped he was friendly. She hoped she could play with him someday. She was still curious.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big billboard near their house. The billboard has many colors and pictures. It says: "Win a trip to the zoo!"
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara says. "I want to go to the zoo. I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "But how can we win the trip?"
+
+The billboard has a phone number. It says: "Call this number and answer a question. If you are lucky, you will win the trip."
+
+Sara and Tom run to their house. They ask their mom if they can use the phone. Their mom says yes, but they have to be quick.
+
+Sara and Tom dial the number. A voice says: "Hello, this is the zoo contest. What is the name of the animal that has a long neck and spots?"
+
+Sara and Tom think hard. They remember seeing a picture of that animal in a book. They say together: "Giraffe!"
+
+The voice says: "That is correct! You are lucky. You have won the trip to the zoo. Congratulations!"
+
+Sara and Tom are very happy. They hug their mom and thank her. They can't wait to go to the zoo and see the giraffe and the other animals. They stand by the window and look at the billboard. They smile and wave.
+Nanu was a lonely boy who lived in an igloo with his mother and father. He liked to play with snow and ice, but he had no friends to play with. He wished he could see other children and have fun with them.
+
+One day, he saw a bright light in the sky. It was a big fire ball that came closer and closer to the ground. Nanu was curious and scared. He ran to his mother and father and said, "Look, look, what is that?"
+
+His mother and father looked up and saw the fire ball too. They were afraid and said, "That is a bad thing, Nanu. It can burn our igloo and hurt us. We have to hide and pray."
+
+They took Nanu and ran to a nearby cave. They hid inside and waited for the fire ball to go away. Nanu heard a loud noise and felt a hot wind. He peeked out of the cave and saw that the fire ball had hit the ground and made a big hole. He also saw that his igloo was on fire and melting. He cried and said, "No, no, our home, our home!"
+
+His mother and father hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Nanu. We are safe and we can make a new igloo. We are not alone, we have each other. And maybe the fire ball brought some good things too. Maybe it brought some new friends for you."
+
+Nanu looked around and saw that some other people had come out of their igloos and caves. They had also seen the fire ball and were curious and scared. They came closer to Nanu and his family and said hello. Nanu saw that some of them were children like him. He smiled and said hello back. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He thought, maybe he was not so lonely after all.
+Tom was a boy who liked to test things. He tested how fast he could run, how high he could jump, how loud he could shout. He wanted to be the best at everything. He did not like to share or help others. He thought he was strong and smart.
+
+One day, he saw a girl playing with a ball. He wanted to test how far he could kick the ball. He ran to the girl and snatched the ball from her. The girl cried and asked him to give it back. Tom laughed and said, "No, this is my ball now. You are weak and silly. I will test how far I can kick it."
+
+He kicked the ball as hard as he could. But he did not see a big rock in front of him. The ball hit the rock and bounced back. It hit Tom in the face and knocked him down. He felt pain and blood. He cried and dropped the ball.
+
+The girl ran to him and picked up the ball. She could have run away with it, but she did not. She saw that Tom was hurt and scared. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Here, take the ball. It is yours. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe you should test how kind you can be, not how strong you are."
+
+Tom was surprised and ashamed. He realized that he had been mean and rude. He said, "Thank you, I'm sorry. You are right. I should test how kind I can be, not how strong I am. Can we be friends?"
+
+The girl smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, we can be friends. Friends help each other and share things. Friends don't test each other, they trust each other."
+
+Tom learned a lesson that day. He learned that being strong and smart is not enough. He learned that being kind and friendly is more important. He learned that testing things can be fun, but testing people can be hurtful. He learned that the best test is the test of the heart.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to make new friends with other kids.
+
+One day, they saw a boy with a red jacket and a blue hat. He had a big zipper on his jacket. Lily and Max wanted to say hello to him.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm Sam. I just moved here with my mom and dad. Do you want to play with me?" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, we do. We are Lily and Max. Welcome to the park!" Max said.
+
+They decided to play tag. Lily was it first. She ran after Sam and Max. They ran away from her. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, Sam tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry. Lily and Max stopped and ran to him.
+
+"Are you okay, Sam?" Lily asked.
+
+"It hurts. And I feel dizzy." Sam said.
+
+Lily and Max helped him up. They saw that his zipper was broken. It was stuck and he could not open his jacket.
+
+"Don't worry, Sam. We will help you. Let's go to the bench and sit down. Maybe your mom or dad will come soon." Max said.
+
+They walked to the bench and sat down. Lily gave Sam a hug. Max gave him a band-aid. They tried to make him feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Max. You are very nice. You are my new friends." Sam said.
+
+"You are welcome, Sam. You are our new friend too. We hope you feel better soon." Lily and Max said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They were happy to have a new friend. They waited for Sam's mom or dad to come. They hoped they could play again tomorrow.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play on the farm with their dad. One day, they see a big pile of hay in the barn. They think it looks fun to jump on.
+
+They run to the hay and start to climb. They jump and roll and laugh. They make a fort with the hay. They pretend to be knights and dragons. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But they do not see that they are making a mess. They destroy the hay. They pull it apart and throw it everywhere. They do not know that dad needs the hay for the cows. They do not know that dad will be angry.
+
+Dad comes to the barn. He sees the hay. He sees the boys. He is very angry. He shouts at them. He tells them to stop. He tells them to clean up. He tells them that they are naughty.
+
+Ben and Sam are scared. They are sorry. They did not mean to destroy the hay. They did not know it was important. They just wanted to play. They say sorry to dad. They help him to fix the hay. They learn to be careful. They hug dad. They love him. Dad loves them. He is not angry anymore. He knows they are normal boys. He knows they make mistakes. He knows they are good. He hugs them back. He smiles. He tells them to play somewhere else. He tells them he loves them. They are happy. They are a family.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they saw a big hill behind their house. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They asked their mom if they could go.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is very dry and hot today. Take some water and a hat. And don't go too far," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben put on their hats and backpacks. They took a bottle of water and a snack. They said bye to mom and started to climb the hill.
+
+The hill was steep and rocky. The sun was bright and warm. The landscape was brown and dusty. There were no trees or flowers. Only some cacti and lizards.
+
+"Wow, this is so different from our garden," Lily said.
+
+"I wonder what else we can find," Ben said.
+
+They reached the top of the hill. They looked around. They saw a big valley with a river and a bridge. They also saw a small house with a fence and a sign.
+
+"Look, there is a house. Maybe someone lives there. Let's go and say hello," Lily said.
+
+She was curious and friendly.
+
+"No, wait. We don't know who they are. Maybe they are not nice. And look, the sign says 'Keep Out'. That means we are not welcome," Ben said.
+
+He was cautious and scared.
+
+Lily and Ben argued. Lily wanted to go and see the house. Ben wanted to go back to mom. They could not agree.
+
+They heard a loud bark. They turned around. They saw a big dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It did not like strangers.
+
+"Run!" Ben shouted.
+
+Lily and Ben ran down the hill. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had not gone too far. They wished they had not been so curious.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. They want to climb the tree.
+
+"Can we climb the tree?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, let's climb the tree!" Mia says.
+
+They climb the tree. They are careful. They hold on to the branches. They go higher and higher. They see the sky and the birds. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom slips. He loses his grip. He falls. He is scared.
+
+"Mia, help!" Tom cries.
+
+Mia sees Tom falling. She is scared too. She reaches out her hand. She grabs Tom's hand. She pulls him up. She hugs him.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Mia asks.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you, Mia. You saved me. You are a good friend." Tom says.
+
+They hug again. They are lucky. They are safe. They climb down the tree. They go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms hug them too. They are proud of them. They are brave. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be king and queen of a palace. They used pillows, blankets and toys to make a big palace in the living room.
+
+"Look at our palace!" Tom said. "It is so big and pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "But we need some people to work for us. We are the king and queen, after all."
+
+They looked around and saw their stuffed animals. They picked some of them and gave them jobs. They made a bear the cook, a monkey the guard, a rabbit the gardener and a cat the maid.
+
+"Hello, cook!" Tom said to the bear. "What are you making for us today?"
+
+The bear did not answer. He just held a wooden spoon and a pot.
+
+"Hello, guard!" Lily said to the monkey. "Are you keeping the palace safe?"
+
+The monkey did not answer. He just wore a hat and a sword.
+
+"Hello, gardener!" Tom said to the rabbit. "Are you planting flowers and vegetables?"
+
+The rabbit did not answer. He just had a shovel and a basket.
+
+"Hello, maid!" Lily said to the cat. "Are you cleaning the palace?"
+
+The cat did not answer. She just had a broom and a dustpan.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt a little sad. Their workers did not talk to them or play with them. They only did their jobs.
+
+"Being king and queen is tough," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, it is," Lily said. "Maybe we should play something else."
+
+They put away their pillows, blankets and toys. They hugged their stuffed animals and said sorry for making them work so hard. Then they decided to play pirates instead. They had more fun and made more noise.
+Lily loved her velvet dress. It was soft and red and had a big bow. She wore it to her friend's birthday party. She had fun playing games and eating cake. But when she came home, she saw a big stain on her dress. It was chocolate from the cake. She felt sad and scared.
+
+"Mama, look at my dress!" she cried. "It is dirty!"
+
+Mama looked at Lily's dress and frowned. She was angry. She had told Lily to be careful with her dress. It was a special dress that Grandma had made for her.
+
+"Lily, you were very naughty!" Mama said. "You did not listen to me. You ruined your dress. You have to punish."
+
+Lily felt miserable. She did not want to punish. She wanted to hug Mama and say sorry. But Mama did not hug her. She took her dress and put it in the trash. Then she sent Lily to her room.
+
+Lily went to her room and cried. She wished she had been more careful with her dress. She wished Mama would forgive her. She wished she had her velvet dress back. She did not like to punish. She did not like to feel miserable. She hoped Mama would love her again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bird with a hurt eye. The bird is sad and scared.
+
+"Look, Ben, the bird has a bad eye. Maybe we can help it," Lily says.
+
+"How can we help it, Lily? It is too high in the tree," Ben says.
+
+Lily has an idea. She sees a stick on the ground. She picks up the stick. She says, "We can use this stick to reach the bird. Maybe we can take out the thing that hurts its eye."
+
+Ben nods. He says, "OK, Lily, let's try. But we have to be very kind and gentle. We don't want to scare the bird more."
+
+Lily and Ben walk to the tree. They lift the stick together. They touch the bird softly with the stick. The bird flaps its wings. It makes a noise. Lily and Ben say, "Shh, shh, it's OK, bird. We are your friends. We want to help you."
+
+The bird calms down. It lets Lily and Ben touch its eye with the stick. They see a small stone in its eye. They gently pull out the stone with the stick. The bird blinks. It looks at Lily and Ben. It makes a happy noise.
+
+"Yay, we did it, Lily! We helped the bird!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, we did, Ben! We are kind to the bird!" Lily says.
+
+The bird flies down from the tree. It lands on Lily's shoulder. It pecks her cheek. It lands on Ben's head. It pecks his hair. It flies away. It sings a song.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They hug each other. They say, "We love you, bird. Thank you for being our friend."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big basket with sandwiches, juice and cookies for their lunch. They ran around the swings, the slide and the seesaw, having lots of fun.
+
+"Time for lunch, kids!" their mom called. "Come and sit on the blanket and eat your sandwiches."
+
+Lily and Max ran to the blanket and sat down. They each took a sandwich and a juice box. Lily had a cheese sandwich and Max had a ham sandwich. They bit into their sandwiches and made happy noises.
+
+"This is a good sandwich, mom!" Lily said.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Max said.
+
+They finished their sandwiches and reached for the cookies. But then they saw that there were only two cookies left in the basket.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily said. "There are two of us and two cookies. How do we share?"
+
+Max looked at the cookies and then at Lily. He had an idea.
+
+"I know!" he said. "We can break the cookies in half and each have one half. Then we both have the same amount."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She thought that was a fair and kind thing to do.
+
+"Good idea, Max!" she said. "You are very smart and nice."
+
+They broke the cookies in half and each ate their half. They hugged each other and thanked their mom for the lunch.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them back. She was proud of them for sharing and being nice to each other.
+
+"You are such good kids," she said. "You always behave so well. I love you very much."
+
+They said they loved her too and then went back to play in the park. It was a peaceful and happy day.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to perform. They liked to sing, dance, and act in front of their family and friends. One day, they decided to put on a show about Santa Claus and his elves.
+
+Anna wore a red dress and a white beard. She pretended to be Santa Claus. Ben wore a green hat and a green shirt. He pretended to be an elf. They made a chimney out of cardboard and painted it black. They put it in the living room, next to the fireplace.
+
+"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asked.
+
+"Yes, Anna. Let's start the show!" Ben said.
+
+They played some music and began to perform. Anna said, "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, everyone! I have a big bag of gifts for all the good children. But first, I need to go down the chimney and see if they left me some cookies and milk."
+
+Ben said, "I will help you, Santa. I am your best elf. I made all the toys with my magic tools. But be careful, the chimney is very hot and dirty. You might get stuck or burned."
+
+Anna said, "Don't worry, Ben. I have a special suit that protects me from the heat and the dirt. And I have a magic key that opens any door. Come on, let's go down the chimney together."
+
+They pretended to climb down the chimney and came out in the living room. They saw a plate of cookies and a glass of milk on the table. They smiled and ate some cookies and drank some milk.
+
+"Thank you, children, for the yummy treats. You are very kind and generous. Now, let's see what gifts I have for you." Anna said.
+
+She opened her bag and took out some wrapped boxes. She gave one to Ben and one to herself. They opened them and saw what was inside.
+
+"Wow, Anna, look! I got a train set. I love trains. They are fast and fun. Thank you, Santa." Ben said.
+
+"Wow, Ben, look! I got a doll house. I love dolls. They are pretty and sweet. Thank you, Santa." Anna said.
+
+They hugged each other and played with their new toys. They were very happy and grateful. They forgot that they were performing and that their parents and friends were watching them.
+
+Their parents and friends clapped and cheered. They were very proud and impressed by Anna and Ben's performance. They said, "Bravo, Anna and Ben! You are amazing performers. You made us laugh and smile. You are very creative and talented. We love you very much."
+Lily liked to teach her teddy bear how to count. She had a jar of pennies that she used as her math tools. She would line up the pennies on the floor and say, "One, two, three, four, five. Five pennies make a nickel. Can you say nickel, teddy?"
+
+Teddy would nod and try to repeat, "Nick-nick."
+
+"Very good, teddy! You are a smart bear. Now, let's count some more pennies." Lily would add more pennies to the line and say, "Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ten pennies make a dime. Can you say dime, teddy?"
+
+Teddy would shake his head and say, "Dime too hard."
+
+"That's okay, teddy. You can learn it later. You are still a good bear. Do you want a penny for yourself?" Lily would ask, holding out a shiny penny.
+
+Teddy would smile and say, "Yes, please."
+
+Lily would give him the penny and say, "Here you go, teddy. This is your penny. You can keep it or share it with someone else. Sharing is nice. Do you know what sharing means, teddy?"
+
+Teddy would think for a moment and say, "Sharing means giving some to others."
+
+"That's right, teddy. Sharing means giving some to others. You are a generous bear. Do you want to share your penny with me?" Lily would ask, hoping to get her penny back.
+
+Teddy would look at his penny and then at Lily. He would say, "No, thank you. This is my penny. I like it. But I can share something else with you. I can share a hug. Do you want a hug, Lily?"
+
+Lily would laugh and say, "Yes, I want a hug, teddy. I love hugs. Hugs are better than pennies. Come here, teddy. Let's hug."
+
+Teddy would drop his penny and hug Lily. They would hug and giggle and say, "We are friends. We are happy. We like to teach and learn and share."
+Anna liked to play with her blocks. She could make towers and bridges and houses with them. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She was proud of her work.
+
+But Ben, her brother, liked to play with cars. He had many cars of different sizes and sounds. He liked to zoom them around the room and make loud noises. He did not care about Anna's work.
+
+One day, Anna was making a big tower with her blocks. She wanted to see how high she could go. She was very careful and balanced each block on top of the other. She was almost done when Ben came in with his cars.
+
+Ben saw Anna's tower and wanted to knock it down. He thought it would be fun to see the blocks fall. He took his biggest car and drove it towards the tower. He did not yield to Anna's work.
+
+Anna saw Ben and his car. She was frightened. She did not want her tower to break. She shouted, "Stop! That is my work! Do not touch it!" But Ben did not listen. He crashed his car into the tower and made it fall. The blocks scattered everywhere. Anna was very sad and angry. She cried and yelled at Ben.
+
+Ben was surprised. He did not know Anna would be so upset. He thought it was just a game. He felt sorry for Anna. He said, "I am sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt your work. I was just playing. Can we play together?"
+
+Anna looked at Ben and his car. She looked at her blocks and her work. She was still sad, but she also wanted to play. She said, "Okay, Ben. But you have to be careful. You have to yield to my work. And I will yield to your cars. Can we make something together?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, Anna. We can make something together. What do you want to make?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She said, "How about a bridge? We can use the blocks and the cars. The cars can go over the bridge and the blocks can hold it up. Do you like that idea?"
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "I like that idea, Anna. That sounds like fun. Let's do it."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged. They picked up the blocks and the cars. They started to work together. They made a bridge. They were happy. They learned to yield to each other's work.
+Lily liked to play with cardboard. She cut it with scissors and made shapes. She made a boat, a hat, and a fish. She painted them with colors. She was very proud of her cardboard things.
+
+She wanted to show them to her friend Max. She put them in a bag and went to his house. Max lived near a pond. He liked to play with water. He had a bucket, a hose, and a rubber duck. He was very happy to see Lily and her bag.
+
+They opened the bag and took out the cardboard things. Max liked them too. He said they were very pretty and clever. He wanted to try the boat. He said it would float on the pond. Lily was not sure. She said it might get wet and break. Max said it would be fine. He was very excited.
+
+They went to the pond and put the boat on the water. It looked nice. It had a sail and a flag. Max gave it a gentle push. It moved a little bit. Then he gave it a big splash. He thought it would go faster. He was wrong.
+
+The boat got wet and soggy. It started to sink. Lily was sad. She said the boat was ruined. Max was sorry. He said he was sorry. He said he did not mean to. He said he would make another boat. He said he would be more careful. He said he would use plastic. Lily said it was okay. She said she still had the hat and the fish. She said they could play with them. She said they could paint them again. She said they were still friends. They hugged and smiled. They learned a lesson. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they saw a brown rabbit hopping in the grass. They wanted to catch it and pet it, but the rabbit was too fast and ran away.
+
+They followed the rabbit to the end of the yard, where there was a fence. Behind the fence, there was a valley with more grass and hills. The rabbit jumped over the fence and ran into the valley. Lily and Ben wanted to go after it, but they knew they were not allowed to cross the fence.
+
+They looked around and saw a big hole under the fence. It was dark and dirty, but they thought they could fit through it. They decided to try it, but they were scared. They held hands and crawled into the hole. They hoped they could manage to find the rabbit and come back soon.
+
+They came out of the hole and saw the valley. It was very beautiful, but also very big. They did not see the rabbit anywhere. They walked around, looking for it, but they only saw more trees and flowers. They started to feel lost and tired. They wished they had stayed in the yard.
+
+They heard a loud noise behind them. They turned around and saw a big brown bear. It was growling and showing its teeth. It looked angry and hungry. They were very afraid and did not know what to do. They ran away from the bear, but it was faster and chased them.
+
+They saw the fence and the hole. They ran towards it, hoping they could make it. They reached the hole and squeezed through it. They heard the bear roar behind them, but it could not fit in the hole. They were safe, but they were also dirty and scared.
+
+They ran back to the yard and hugged each other. They were happy to be home. They decided they would never go to the valley again. They learned that it was not a good idea to chase a rabbit or to cross a fence. They also learned that they could manage to escape a bear if they worked together. They went inside and told their mom what happened. She was glad they were okay, but she was also mad. She gave them a hug and a kiss, but she also gave them a time out. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again. They hoped the rabbit was okay too.
+Anna is sick. She has a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy puts a thermometer in her mouth to see how hot she is. Anna does not like the thermometer. It is hard and cold and makes her tongue feel funny.
+
+"Be good, Anna. The thermometer will tell me if you need medicine," Mommy says.
+
+Anna tries to be good. She waits and waits for the thermometer to beep. She wants to take it out and play with it. She wonders what it is called.
+
+"Mommy, what is this?" she asks, pointing to the thermometer.
+
+"That is a thermometer, Anna. It is a tool that helps me know how you feel. It has a name, just like you and me," Mommy explains.
+
+"Really? What is its name?" Anna asks, curious.
+
+Mommy smiles. She thinks of a funny name for the thermometer.
+
+"Its name is Bob. Bob the thermometer," she says.
+
+Anna giggles. She likes the name Bob. She thinks it is a silly name for a thermometer.
+
+"Hi, Bob. You are a good thermometer. Thank you for helping Mommy," she says.
+
+The thermometer beeps. Mommy takes it out and looks at the number. She is happy. Anna is not too hot. She does not need medicine.
+
+"Good news, Anna. You are feeling better. Bob says you are not very hot anymore. You just need some rest and some water," Mommy says.
+
+Anna is happy too. She hugs Mommy and Bob. She is glad she is not sick. She is glad she has a good Mommy and a good thermometer. She is glad she learned a new name. She likes the name Bob. She thinks it is a good name for a friend.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys on the big table. They had cars and dolls and blocks and books. They had fun making noises and stories and towers. But one day, the table broke. It made a loud crack and one of the legs fell off. The toys slid to the floor and Tom and Lily cried.
+
+Mom and Dad came to see what happened. They saw the broken table and the sad children. They said, "Don't worry, we can repair the table. We just need some tools and glue and nails. But you have to be careful and alert. The table is not safe to play on right now. It might hurt you or your toys. Can you help us fix it?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted to help and they wanted to play again. They followed Mom and Dad to the garage. They saw the tools and glue and nails. Mom and Dad showed them how to use them. They said, "You can hold the tools and glue and nails for us. But don't touch them with your hands or mouth. They are sharp and sticky and hard. They might cut you or stick you or choke you. Can you be alert and careful?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They held the tools and glue and nails for Mom and Dad. They watched them repair the table. They saw them put the leg back on and glue it and nail it. They saw them check the table and make sure it was strong and stable. They said, "Good job, Tom and Lily. You helped us fix the table. Now it is safe to play on again. But you have to be gentle and respectful. Don't jump on it or hit it or spill on it. It might break again. Can you be alert and careful?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They thanked Mom and Dad for repairing the table. They took their toys back to the table. They played with them gently and respectfully. They had fun making noises and stories and towers. They were alert and careful. They did not want to break the table again. They loved their table and their toys and their Mom and Dad.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many boxes. The boxes have pictures of chocolate.
+
+"Look, Lily, chocolate!" Tom says. He runs to the truck. He wants to take a box.
+
+"Wait, Tom, we can't take chocolate. It is not ours. It is for the shop," Lily says. She follows Tom.
+
+Tom does not listen. He takes a box and opens it. He sees many bars of chocolate. They are brown and shiny. He takes a bar and bites it.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cries. He spits out the chocolate. It is very icy. It hurts his teeth.
+
+Lily laughs. She sees a sign on the truck. It says: "Frozen chocolate. Do not eat. It is very icy."
+
+"Tom, you are silly. You did not read the sign. The chocolate is frozen. It is not good to eat. It is very icy," Lily says.
+
+Tom feels sad. He puts the box back. He says sorry to the truck driver. He learns a lesson. He does not take things that are not his. He does not eat icy chocolate. He listens to Lily. She is a good friend.
+Tom was a stubborn boy. He did not like to share his toys with his sister, Lily. He always wanted to play with them by himself. One day, he had a plan. He wanted to hide his toys under his bed, so Lily could not find them.
+
+He waited until Lily was busy with her dolls, and then he took his cars, his blocks, and his ball. He ran to his room and put them under his bed. He smiled and thought he was very clever.
+
+But Lily saw him. She followed him quietly and saw him hiding his toys. She was angry and sad. She wanted to play with Tom and his toys. She said, "Tom, that is not nice. You have to share your toys with me. We are family."
+
+Tom did not listen. He said, "No, Lily. These are my toys. You can play with your dolls. Go away."
+
+Lily did not go away. She reached under the bed and grabbed one of Tom's cars. She said, "This is mine now. You are mean."
+
+Tom was furious. He tried to get his car back, but Lily held it tight. They both pulled and tugged, and started to yell.
+
+Their mom heard them. She came to their room and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. What is going on here?"
+
+Tom and Lily told her their stories. Mom shook her head and said, "Tom, you have to share your toys with your sister. Lily, you have to ask before you take something. You both have to be kind and respectful to each other. Now, give each other a hug and say sorry."
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to hug and say sorry. They were still mad. But they knew mom was right. They hugged and said sorry, but they did not mean it.
+
+Mom said, "Now, let's go to the living room and play together. I have a surprise for you. I bought you a new puzzle. You can work on it as a team."
+
+Tom and Lily liked puzzles. They forgot their anger and followed mom. They hoped the puzzle was fun and easy. They did not want to fight again.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with sticks. He found a big stick in the park and pretended it was a staff. He waved it around and said, "I am a wizard! I can do magic!"
+
+But his sister Lily did not like his game. She wanted to play with dolls. She said, "Sticks are dull. Dolls are fun. Give me your staff!"
+
+Tom said, "No! It is mine! Go away!" He ran away from Lily, but she chased him. She was faster than him and caught him. She grabbed his staff and tried to pull it from him.
+
+They both pulled hard, but the staff was not strong. It snapped in two with a loud crack. Tom and Lily both fell down and cried. They had broken the staff.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken staff and the tears. She said, "Oh, no! What have you done? You should not fight over toys. You should share and be nice."
+
+She hugged them and gave them a band-aid for their scratches. She said, "I'm sorry your staff is broken. Maybe we can find another one. Or maybe you can play something else together. How about a puzzle?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, brother. Sorry, sister." They threw away the broken staff and went to play with the puzzle. They learned their lesson. Sticks are dull, but puzzles are fun. And sharing is better than fighting.
+Tommy loved chocolate. He liked to eat it, drink it, and play with it. One day, he saw a big jar of chocolate powder on the shelf. He wanted to make some chocolate milk for himself and his teddy bear.
+
+He climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He opened it and smelled the sweet chocolate. He poured some powder into a cup and added some milk. He looked for a spoon to stir it, but he could not find one. He saw a big wooden stick on the table. It looked harmless. He decided to use it to stir his chocolate milk.
+
+He put the stick in the cup and stirred it hard. The chocolate milk splashed out of the cup and onto the table, the chair, the floor, and Tommy. He was covered in brown sticky liquid. He licked his lips and smiled. It tasted good.
+
+He heard his mom coming. He quickly grabbed his teddy bear and ran to his room. He hoped she would not see the mess. He hid under his bed with his teddy bear and drank his chocolate milk. He thought it was the best chocolate milk ever. He did not know that the stick was his dad's paintbrush.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play near the well. The well was very deep and had a lot of water. Sometimes they threw stones in the well and listened to the splash.
+
+One day, they met a new boy near the well. His name was Ben and he was deaf. He could not hear anything. Tom and Lily wanted to be nice to him and welcome him to play with them.
+
+"Hi, Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Tom asked, waving his hand.
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. He followed Tom and Lily to the well. He saw them throwing stones and tried to do the same.
+
+But Ben did not know how to be careful near the well. He threw a big stone and lost his balance. He fell into the well with a loud splash.
+
+Tom and Lily screamed and ran to the well. They looked down and saw Ben struggling in the water. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. They could not reach Ben or pull him out.
+
+Ben was scared and cold. He could not see or hear anything. He tried to swim, but he was too tired. He sank to the bottom of the well and did not come up again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big tree and look at the birds and the sky. Lily was very clever and knew how to go up and down the tree without hurting herself. Ben was not so clever and sometimes slipped and scraped his knees.
+
+One day, they saw a big red balloon stuck in the branches of the tree. Lily wanted to get it and give it to Ben. She said, "Ben, look at the balloon! It is so pretty and round. I will get it for you and we can play with it."
+
+Ben said, "Lily, be careful. The balloon is very high and the branches are very thin. You might fall and hurt yourself."
+
+Lily said, "Don't worry, Ben. I am clever and I can do it. You wait here and I will be back soon."
+
+Lily climbed up the tree, higher and higher, until she reached the balloon. She stretched her hand and grabbed it. She was very happy and smiled at Ben. She said, "Ben, I got it! I got the balloon for you!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. The balloon was very light, but Lily was not. The branch that she was standing on could not hold her weight. It snapped and broke. Lily and the balloon fell down, down, down, to the ground.
+
+Ben screamed and ran to Lily. He saw her lying on the grass, not moving. He saw blood on her head and her arm. He saw the balloon, popped and flat. He cried and cried and called for help. But it was too late. Lily was gone.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of flowers. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can see the lake or the birds or the clouds!"
+
+"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said there are some bad things in the park. Like bees and snakes and ugly dogs."
+
+They ran up the hill, holding hands. They were happy and excited. They did not see the sign that said "Do not enter. Danger."
+
+When they reached the top of the hill, they stopped. They saw a sight that made them scream. There was a big, ugly dog with sharp teeth and red eyes. It was growling and barking at them. It looked hungry and angry.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Tom said. "We have to go back to Mom!"
+
+But the dog was faster than them. It chased them down the hill. It was getting closer and closer. Lily and Tom were scared and tired. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they saw a man with a hat and a stick. He was walking in the park. He heard their screams and saw the dog. He ran towards them and shouted at the dog.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop! Go away! Leave the kids alone!"
+
+He waved his stick at the dog. The dog was afraid of the man. It stopped and turned around. It ran away from the man, the stick, and the kids.
+
+Lily and Tom were safe. They hugged the man and thanked him. He smiled and said, "You're welcome. But you should not go to that hill. That dog is very bad. He does not yield to anyone. He bites and hurts people. You should stay away from him."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to the man and to Mom. They never went to that hill again. They played in the park, but only in the safe places. They were happy and careful.
+Tom was a new boy in the class. He felt shy and did not know anyone. The teacher saw him and smiled. She said, "Hello, Tom. Welcome to our class. I will introduce you to the group."
+
+She took Tom by the hand and walked to the circle of children. They were sitting on the floor and playing with toys. The teacher said, "Children, this is Tom. He is our new friend. Can you say hello to him?"
+
+The children looked at Tom and said hello. Some of them smiled and waved. Some of them were curious and asked him questions. "What is your favorite toy?" "Do you like cars or trucks?" "Where do you live?" Tom felt happy and answered them. He liked the group. They were nice and friendly.
+
+He saw a girl with a big doll. She had long hair and a pink dress. She was sitting next to him. He said, "Hi, I'm Tom. What is your name?"
+
+She said, "I'm Lily. This is my doll. Her name is Anna. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, please. I like dolls. Can I hold Anna?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure. Here you go. She is very soft and pretty. You can hug her and talk to her."
+
+Tom took Anna and hugged her. He said, "Hello, Anna. You are very nice. I'm glad to meet you."
+
+Lily and Tom became friends. They played with Anna and the other toys. They had fun and laughed. The teacher was happy to see them. She said, "Tom, you are doing great. You are part of the group now."
+Jill and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Jill saw a shiny scale on Ben's shelf. It was ancient and belonged to Ben's grandpa. Jill wanted to borrow the scale and see how much things weighed.
+
+"Can I borrow your scale, Ben?" Jill asked.
+
+"No, you can't. It's very old and fragile. You might break it," Ben said.
+
+"Please, Ben. I'll be careful. I just want to play with it for a little while," Jill begged.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He liked Jill and wanted to make her happy. But he also loved his grandpa's scale and didn't want to lose it. He decided to let Jill borrow the scale, but only for a few minutes.
+
+"Okay, Jill. You can borrow the scale, but only for a few minutes. And you have to be very gentle with it. Don't drop it or bang it or put anything heavy on it," Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I promise I'll be gentle," Jill said.
+
+Jill took the scale and ran to the living room. She put the scale on the floor and looked for things to weigh. She found a feather, a ball, a book, and a vase. She put the feather on the scale and saw the needle move a little. She put the ball on the scale and saw the needle move more. She put the book on the scale and saw the needle move even more. She put the vase on the scale and saw the needle move a lot.
+
+Jill was having fun with the scale. She wanted to see how much more the needle could move. She looked around and saw a big rock in the garden. She ran outside and picked up the rock. It was very heavy. She brought it back to the living room and put it on the scale.
+
+CRASH!
+
+The scale broke into pieces. The needle snapped. The glass shattered. The metal bent. The rock smashed the scale.
+
+Jill was shocked. She didn't mean to break the scale. She was just curious. She started to cry.
+
+Ben heard the noise and came to the living room. He saw the broken scale and the rock. He was angry and sad. He loved his grandpa's scale. It was ancient and precious. He couldn't believe Jill broke it.
+
+"Jill, what did you do? You broke my scale! You didn't listen to me! You weren't gentle! You were careless! You ruined my scale!" Ben yelled.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break it. I was just playing. I wanted to see how much the rock weighed. I didn't know it would break the scale. Please forgive me," Jill sobbed.
+
+Ben didn't forgive Jill. He was too upset. He took the rock and threw it at Jill. It hit her on the head. She fell to the floor and bled. She was hurt.
+
+Ben's mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken scale, the rock, and the blood. She was shocked and scared. She called for help.
+
+Jill and Ben were taken to the hospital. Jill had a concussion. Ben had a broken hand. They both had stitches. They both had trouble.
+
+Jill and Ben were no longer friends. They never played with toys again. They never borrowed anything again. They never spoke again.
+
+The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim. Tim was very good at running. He was always ready to run fast. One day, Tim wanted to run on the big lawn near his house. The lawn was green and soft.
+
+Tim put on his shoes and went to the lawn. He saw a cat sitting on the grass. The cat was happy to see Tim. Tim said, "Let's run together!" The cat was ready to run too. So, Tim and the cat started to run on the lawn.
+
+They ran and ran until they reached the end of the lawn. Tim and the cat were very tired but happy. They sat down on the grass and took a rest. After that, they went back to Tim's house. They were now good friends and played together every day on the lawn.
+Once upon a time, in a small, green yard, there was a tiny flea named Fifi. Fifi was a delicate flea, with a very soft touch. She loved to play with her friends all day long.
+
+One sunny day, Fifi was playing with her best friend, a dog named Dodo. They were playing a fun game of "guess what I am thinking." Dodo would think of something, and Fifi would try to guess what it was. "Is it a ball?" Fifi asked. "No," Dodo said, "guess again!" Fifi thought and thought, and then she said, "Is it a bone?" Dodo laughed, "Yes, you got it!"
+
+Fifi and Dodo played their guessing game all day long. They laughed and had so much fun. When the sun began to set, Fifi said, "I have to go home now, Dodo." Dodo was sad but said, "Okay, Fifi. See you tomorrow!" Fifi hopped onto a leaf and waved goodbye to her friend. As she went to sleep that night, she smiled, thinking of all the fun she had with Dodo. And she couldn't wait to play the guessing game again tomorrow.
+One day, a little girl named Sue went to the park with her mom. Sue had a small purse with her. Inside the purse, she had some toys and a snack. Sue loved her purse because it was pretty and pink.
+
+At the park, Sue saw a dog. The dog was obedient and sat when Sue's mom asked it to sit. Sue wanted to play with the dog, so she took a toy from her purse. She threw the toy, and the dog ran to get it.
+
+Sue's mom said, "Sue, let's discuss how to play with the dog safely." They talked about not going near the dog's face and always being gentle. Sue listened and played with the dog nicely. The dog wagged its tail and was happy. Sue and her mom had a fun day at the park.
+One day, a little boy named Tom went for a walk. He wanted to find ice to play with. As he walked, he saw a troubled bird. The bird could not fly. Tom wanted to help the bird, so he said, "Why are you sad, bird?"
+

+Tim and the man went back to Tim's house. They made a great apple pie with the apples they picked. Tim's mom came home and smelled the pie. She said, "Wow, what a great smell! It smells like gas!" Tim and the man laughed. They knew it was the great apple pie they made together.
+Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sue. Sue loved Sundays because she could play with her friends. One Sunday, Sue found a big, red ball in the park. She was very happy and wanted to play with it.
+
+Sue's friend, Tim, came to play too. Tim looked worried. He said, "Sue, I don't have a ball. Can I play with you?" Sue thought about it and decided to share her big, red ball with Tim. They played together and had lots of fun.
+
+In the end, Sue and Tim learned that sharing can make everyone happy. They promised to always share with each other and their friends. And from then on, every Sunday was a fun day for Sue, Tim, and all their friends.
+Once upon a time, there was a pink firework. The firework was sad because it could not light up. It wanted to shine bright in the sky like all the other fireworks.
+
+One day, the firework met a friendly helper. The helper said, "I can restore your light so you can shine like the other fireworks." The firework was very happy and said, "Please help me."
+
+The helper tried to restore the firework's light, but it did not work. The pink firework was still sad and could not shine. In the end, the pink firework never got to light up the sky like the other fireworks.
+One day, a colorful bird named Tim met a friendly cat named Sam. They both wanted to play together. They saw a big sausage on the ground. Tim said, "Let's squeeze the sausage and see what happens!"
+
+Sam said, "Okay!" They both used their paws and beaks to squeeze the sausage. It made a funny sound that made them laugh. They squeezed it again and again, laughing each time.
+
+After playing with the sausage, Tim and Sam became best friends. They played together every day. They loved to squeeze the sausage and make each other laugh. And they always looked for more fun things to do together.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They wanted to see the butterflies that flew around the flowers.
+
+"Look, Ben, a yellow butterfly!" Lila said, pointing to a bright spot in the air.
+
+"I see it, Lila. It is so pretty!" Ben said, smiling.
+
+They ran to the tree and tried to catch the butterfly. But the butterfly was fast and flew away. Lila and Ben followed it, jumping and reaching with their hands.
+
+The butterfly landed on a branch that was high up. Lila and Ben stopped and looked up. They wanted to touch the butterfly, but they could not reach it.
+
+"Maybe we can climb the tree," Lila said.
+
+"OK, let's try," Ben said.
+
+They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They climbed higher and higher, looking for the butterfly. They were careful not to fall.
+
+They saw the butterfly on a branch that was near the top. It was balancing on a flower, moving its wings slowly.
+
+"Shh, don't scare it," Lila whispered.
+
+They moved closer to the branch, holding on tight. They stretched their arms to touch the butterfly.
+
+But then, Ben was clumsy. He slipped and bumped into Lila. They both lost their balance and fell off the branch.
+
+"Ahh!" they screamed.
+
+They landed on the soft grass, but they were still scared. They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+The butterfly flew away, safe and free.
+Lily and her mom went to the restaurant. They liked to go there every week. It was their regular place. The restaurant had yummy food and nice people.
+
+When they got there, Lily saw a man at the door. He had a big smile and a red shirt. He was the waiter. Lily recognized him. She said, "Hi, Tom!"
+
+Tom was happy to see Lily and her mom. He said, "Hi, Lily! Hi, mom! Welcome to the restaurant! Do you want your usual table?"
+
+Lily and her mom nodded. They followed Tom to their table. It was near the window. They could see the cars and the trees outside.
+
+Tom gave them menus. He said, "What do you want to eat today? We have pizza, pasta, salad, and soup. And for dessert, we have ice cream, cake, and cookies."
+
+Lily looked at the menu. She knew what she wanted. She said, "I want pizza and ice cream, please!"
+
+Mom looked at the menu too. She said, "I want pasta and salad, please!"
+
+Tom wrote down their order. He said, "Okay, pizza and ice cream for Lily, pasta and salad for mom. I'll be back soon with your food. Enjoy!"
+
+Lily and her mom thanked Tom. They waited for their food. They talked and laughed. They had a good time at the restaurant. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is big and red and has a long nose. It makes a loud sound.
+
+"What is that?" Lily questions Tom.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "It is new. Maybe it is a big toy."
+
+They walk closer to the new thing. They see a man inside the new thing. He has a hat and a uniform. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he says. "Do you want to see my fire truck?"
+
+"Fire truck?" Lily and Tom wonder. "What is a fire truck?"
+
+"A fire truck is a special car that helps people when there is a fire," the man explains. "It has a hose that sprays water and a ladder that reaches high places. Do you want to try the hose and the ladder?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. They are excited. They follow the man to the fire truck. He helps them to hold the hose and climb the ladder. They have fun with the new thing. They learn something new. They thank the man for letting them play.
+
+"Bye, kids," the man says. "Be careful and stay away from fire."
+
+"Bye, fire truck man," Lily and Tom say. They wave at him. They run back to their parents. They tell them about the fire truck. They are happy. They have a new wonder.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys on the rug. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Lily saw a shiny red ball on the shelf. She wanted to play with it.
+
+"Max, look at the ball!" she said. "Can we get it?"
+
+Max ignored her. He was busy with his truck. He liked to make it go vroom vroom.
+
+"Please, Max, help me get the ball!" Lily said again. She tried to reach the shelf, but it was too high.
+
+Max ignored her again. He didn't care about the ball. He liked his truck better.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She wanted the ball so much. She looked around and saw a chair. She had an idea. She dragged the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She stretched her hand to the ball.
+
+But she didn't see the elderly cat sleeping on the shelf. The cat was old and grumpy. He didn't like to be disturbed. He saw Lily's hand coming closer to his spot. He hissed and scratched her.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. She let go of the ball and fell off the chair. The ball bounced on the floor and rolled under the couch.
+
+Max heard Lily's cry and saw her fall. He dropped his truck and ran to her. He was worried and sorry.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" he asked. He hugged her and kissed her cheek.
+
+Lily was hurt and scared. She had a scratch on her hand and a bump on her head. She sobbed and hugged Max back.
+
+"I'm sorry, Max," she said. "I just wanted the ball."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Max said. "The ball is not important. You are my sister and I love you."
+
+They smiled and cuddled on the rug. They forgot about the ball and the cat. They were happy to have each other.
+Lila and Tom were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They saw some green trees and a blue pond. They thought it was an oasis.
+
+"Look, Tom, water!" Lila said. "Let's go drink and rest."
+
+Tom nodded. He was tired and hungry. They ran to the oasis. But when they got closer, they saw a big snake. The snake was old and mean. It had sharp teeth and a long tail.
+
+"Go away!" the snake hissed. "This is my oasis. You can't have any water."
+
+"Please, Mr. Snake, we are very thirsty. Can we have some water?" Lila asked. She was scared of the snake, but she was more scared of dying of thirst.
+
+"No! This is mine. Go find your own oasis." the snake said. It coiled its tail and raised its head.
+
+"But there is no other oasis. We have been walking for a long time. We will die if we don't drink." Tom said. He was brave and angry. He did not like the snake.
+
+"I don't care. This is mine. Go away or I will bite you." the snake said. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth.
+
+Tom did not listen. He insisted on getting some water. He ran to the pond and tried to scoop some water with his hands. But the snake was faster. It struck Tom with its teeth and bit his arm. Tom screamed and fell to the ground. He felt a lot of pain and saw blood.
+
+Lila cried and ran to Tom. She tried to help him, but it was too late. The snake had poison in its teeth. Tom stopped breathing and his eyes closed. He was dead.
+
+The snake laughed and slithered back to the pond. It drank some water and felt happy. It had killed the intruders and kept its oasis. It did not care about Lila and Tom. It did not care about anything but itself.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to look at the sky and find shapes in the clouds. Sometimes they saw animals, sometimes they saw flowers, sometimes they saw nothing.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tom said, pointing at a white cloud.
+
+"Where, Tom, where?" Lily asked, looking around.
+
+"There, there, in the sky. See, it has wings and a beak."
+
+Lily saw the cloud and nodded. "Yes, Tom, I see it. It is a bird. A big bird."
+
+They smiled and watched the cloud fly away. Then they saw something else in the sky. Something bright and fast. Something that left a trail of sparks behind it.
+
+"Wow, Tom, what is that?" Lily said, pointing at the shiny thing.
+
+"I don't know, Lily, I don't know. It is not a bird. It is not a plane. It is not a star. It is something else."
+
+They stared at the shiny thing as it moved across the sky. It was very pretty and very exciting. They wanted to know more about it.
+
+"Maybe it is a comet, Tom. A comet is a rock that flies in the sky. I heard it in a story once."
+
+"A comet, Lily? A comet? That sounds cool. Do you think we can catch it?"
+
+"Maybe, Tom, maybe. If we run fast enough and jump high enough."
+
+They got up and ran after the comet. They ran and ran and ran. They jumped and jumped and jumped. They tried to reach the comet, but it was too far and too fast. They could not catch it.
+
+They stopped and looked at the comet again. It was getting smaller and smaller. It was going away.
+
+"Bye, comet, bye. Come back soon. We want to play with you." Tom and Lily said, waving at the sky.
+
+They were sad, but they were also happy. They had seen something new and amazing. Something that was not regular. Something that made them wonder.
+
+They hugged each other and went back to their parents. They told them about the comet. They told them how they tried to catch it. They told them how they had fun.
+
+Their parents smiled and listened. They were proud of their children. They were proud of their curiosity and imagination. They were proud of their adventure.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the smooth grass. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Anna wanted to feed them some bread.
+
+"Can we go to the pond, Ben?" Anna asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The water is deep and wet," Ben said.
+
+They walked to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks and fish. They watched them eat and swim. Anna saw a shiny coin at the bottom of the pond. She wanted to get it.
+
+"Look, Ben! A shiny coin! I want it!" Anna said.
+
+"No, Anna! Don't go in the water! It's dangerous!" Ben said.
+
+But Anna did not listen. She leaned over the edge of the pond and reached for the coin. She slipped and fell into the water. She was scared and cold. She cried for help.
+
+Ben ran to get a grown-up. He saw a man with a big hat and a long stick. He told him what happened.
+
+"Help! My sister is in the pond! She can't swim!" Ben said.
+
+The man ran to the pond and used his stick to pull Anna out of the water. He wrapped her in a warm blanket and gave her a hug.
+
+"Are you OK, Anna?" the man asked.
+
+Anna nodded. She was shivering and wet. She was sorry for being naughty.
+
+"Thank you, mister. You saved me," Anna said.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna. But you should listen to your brother. He knows what's best for you. The pond is not a place to play. It's a place to watch and enjoy. The coin is not worth your life. The sunshine is more precious," the man said.
+
+Anna and Ben learned their lesson. They thanked the man again and went back to their mom. They played on the smooth grass and enjoyed the sunshine. They did not blink or miss the coin. They were happy and safe.
+Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the house. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Anna counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom, but she could not find him.
+
+"Where are you, Ben?" she called out. "I will find you!"
+
+She heard a giggle from the basement. She ran down the stairs and saw a huge pile of laundry on the floor. She thought Ben must be hiding under it. She walked towards the pile and lifted a shirt.
+
+"Boo!" Ben shouted, jumping out of the laundry. He had a mask on his face and a cape on his back. He wanted to scare Anna.
+
+Anna screamed and dropped the shirt. She was very scared of Ben's mask and cape. She ran back up the stairs, crying.
+
+"Anna, wait!" Ben said, taking off his mask and cape. He felt bad for scaring Anna. He did not mean to make her cry. He followed her up the stairs and found her in her room.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," he said, hugging her. "I was just playing. I didn't know you would be so scared."
+
+Anna sniffed and hugged him back. She was still scared, but she forgave Ben. He was her brother and he loved her.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," she said. "But don't do that again. You scared me a lot."
+
+"I won't, I promise," Ben said. "Do you want to play something else?"
+
+Anna nodded. She did not want to play hide and seek anymore. She wanted to play something fun and safe.
+
+"Let's play with our dolls," she said.
+
+"Okay," Ben said. "But can I be the superhero?"
+
+"Sure," Anna said. "But don't scare me again."
+
+"I won't," Ben said. "I will protect you."
+
+They smiled and went to play with their dolls. They were happy and not scared anymore.
+Tom and Lily are birds. They are friends. They like to fly and sing together. One day, they see a big tree. The tree has many branches and leaves. They think it is a good place to make a nest.
+
+They fly to the tree and look for a branch. They find one that is strong and high. They say, "This is our branch. We will make our nest here." They start to bring sticks and grass and feathers to the branch. They work hard and have fun.
+
+After a while, they have a lot of materials. They start to weave and shape them into a nest. They make it cozy and warm. They say, "Our nest is almost complete. We just need one more thing." They fly away and look for something special.
+
+They see a flower. The flower is red and shiny. It smells sweet. They think it is beautiful. They say, "This is the perfect thing for our nest. It will make it more beautiful and happy." They pick the flower and fly back to the branch.
+
+They put the flower in the middle of the nest. They look at their nest and smile. They say, "Our nest is complete. It is the best nest ever. We are proud and happy." They cuddle in the nest and sing a song. They are ready to sleep and dream.
+Lily and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. They had fun in the sun and the water.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. It was shiny and noisy. They wanted to see it closer. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stay near the shore. They swam far away from the beach.
+
+They got tired and scared. The boat was too big and loud. It made big waves that pushed them down. They could not breathe. They cried for help, but no one heard them.
+
+Their mom looked for them. She saw their sand castles and shells, but not them. She was very sad and worried. She asked other people if they saw her children, but they did not.
+
+Lily and Ben tried to comfort each other. They said they loved each other and they were sorry. They hugged and prayed. They hoped their mom would find them. But she did not.
+
+The boat did not see them either. It hit them and they died. They sank to the bottom of the sea. They never played at the beach again.
+
+The moral of the story is: listen to your mom and do not go too far from the shore. The sea can be dangerous and you can get hurt. Stay safe and have fun.
+Lily liked to cook with her mom. They made yummy things like soup and cake and pizza. Lily had a toy network of pots and pans and spoons that she used to pretend to cook. She liked to make noises and say things like "stir, stir, stir" and "chop, chop, chop".
+
+One day, Lily's dad came home from work. He was very tired and hungry. He saw Lily playing with her network in the living room. He smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. What are you cooking today?"
+
+Lily was happy to see her dad. She said, "I'm cooking pasta and sauce and salad. Do you want some?"
+
+Dad nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds delicious. Can I help you?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, you can. You can put the sauce on the pasta. But be careful, the sauce is hot."
+
+Dad took the toy saucepan and poured the sauce on the toy pasta. But he was not careful. He poured too much sauce and it spilled on the floor. Lily's network got wet and sticky. Some of the pots and pans and spoons fell off and broke.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Dad, you ruined my network. You broke my pots and pans and spoons. You made a big mess. You are a bad cook."
+
+Dad felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to ruin your network. I was clumsy and careless. I'm a bad cook. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at her dad. She saw that he was sad and sorry too. She loved her dad. She said, "It's okay, dad. I forgive you. You are not a bad cook. You are a good dad. But next time, be more careful."
+
+Dad hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good cook. You are a good daughter. I love you. Next time, I will be more careful."
+
+They cleaned up the mess together. Then they went to the kitchen and ate the real pasta and sauce and salad that mom had cooked. They said, "Yum, yum, yum." They were happy.
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, cars, towers and more.
+
+One day, Sam sees a new game in Ben's room. It is called chess. It has black and white pieces and a board with squares. Sam asks Ben, "What is this game?"
+
+Ben says, "This is chess. It is a game for smart people. You have to think a lot and move the pieces. You have to try to catch the king of the other color. It is fun."
+
+Sam wants to play chess too. He says, "Can I play with you?"
+
+Ben says, "No, you can't. Chess is too hard for you. You only know how to play with blocks. You are not smart enough for chess."
+
+Sam feels sad and angry. He is jealous of Ben. He thinks Ben is not a nice friend. He says, "Fine, I don't want to play with you either. I will play with my blocks. I can build better things than you."
+
+Sam goes to his room and takes out his blocks. He starts to build a big castle with walls and towers and flags. He is proud of his castle. He thinks it is more beautiful than chess.
+
+Ben sees Sam's castle from his window. He thinks it is amazing. He feels sorry for being mean to Sam. He thinks Sam is a good friend. He says, "Sam, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Chess is not the only game for smart people. You are smart too. You can build wonderful things with blocks. Can I play with you?"
+
+Sam hears Ben's voice. He looks at him and smiles. He says, "Yes, you can. I'm sorry too. I was jealous of you. Chess is a nice game too. Can you teach me how to play?"
+
+Ben says, "Of course I can. Come, let's play together. We can play chess and blocks. We can have fun."
+
+Sam and Ben hug and go to Ben's room. They play chess and blocks. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big helicopter in the sky. It was making a loud noise and flying very fast.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "I want to fly in a helicopter one day. It must be fun."
+
+"Me too," Mia said. "But it looks scary. What if it falls down?"
+
+"Don't be silly," Tom said. "Helicopters are strong and safe. They can go anywhere."
+
+They watched the helicopter until it disappeared behind the clouds. Then they went back to their game.
+
+The next day, it was very cold and icy. The ground was white and slippery. Tom and Mia put on their coats and boots and went outside again. They saw the same helicopter in the sky. It was flying lower and slower than before.
+
+"Look, it's the helicopter again!" Tom said. "Maybe it's looking for something."
+
+"Or someone," Mia said. "Maybe it's a rescue helicopter. Maybe someone is lost or hurt."
+
+They followed the helicopter with their eyes. It flew over the hill, where there was a big forest. They heard a loud bang and saw smoke.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom said. "The helicopter crashed! We have to help!"
+
+He ran towards the hill, without waiting for Mia.
+
+"Tom, wait!" Mia said. "It's too dangerous! We don't know what happened. We should tell someone. We should leave!"
+
+But Tom didn't listen. He wanted to see the helicopter. He wanted to be a hero. He slipped and slid on the icy ground. He didn't see the hole in front of him. He fell in and hurt his leg. He cried out for help.
+
+Mia heard him and ran after him. She saw him in the hole. She was scared, but she was brave. She found a long stick and lowered it to him.
+
+"Tom, grab the stick!" she said. "I'll pull you out."
+
+Tom grabbed the stick and Mia pulled him out. He was bleeding and shivering. He was sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Mia, I'm sorry," he said. "You were right. I was silly. I should have listened to you. I should have left."
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Mia said. "I'm glad you're safe. But we have to go now. The helicopter might explode. We have to tell someone."
+
+They ran back to their house and told their parents what happened. Their parents called the police and the firemen. They came and put out the fire and rescued the people in the helicopter. They were very brave and kind.
+
+Tom and Mia learned a lesson that day. They learned that helicopters are not toys. They learned that it's important to be careful and listen to your friends. They learned that sometimes it's better to leave than to stay.
+Anna and Ben were twins who shared a room and a bed. They liked to play with their toys and read books before they slept. But sometimes, they heard a strange noise under their bed. It sounded like a growl or a snore. They wondered what it was.
+
+One night, they decided to find out. They waited until their mom and dad said good night and turned off the light. Then they grabbed a flashlight and crawled under the bed. They saw a big, furry, brown thing. It had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It was sleeping.
+
+"Hello," Anna whispered. "Who are you?"
+
+The thing opened its eyes and looked at them. It smiled and said, "I'm Max. I'm a bear. I live under your bed."
+
+"A bear?" Ben gasped. "Why do you live under our bed?"
+
+"Because it's cozy and warm," Max said. "And because I like you. You're nice to me. You don't scream or throw things at me. You share your toys and books with me. You're my friends."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry for Max. He seemed lonely and friendly. They asked him where he came from and how he got under their bed. Max told them a long and mysterious story. He said he ran away from a circus and got lost in the city. He found their house and smelled their cookies. He followed the smell and crawled under their bed. He liked it there and decided to stay.
+
+Anna and Ben listened to Max's story and felt more curious and brave. They asked him if he wanted to play with them. Max nodded and said yes. He crawled out from under the bed and joined them on the floor. They played with their toys and read books together. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+They forgot about the time and the noise. They didn't hear their mom and dad come to check on them. They only saw their faces when they turned on the light and saw Max. They screamed and jumped back. They couldn't believe their eyes.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What is that?" their mom shouted.
+
+"It's Max," Anna said. "He's a bear. He lives under our bed. He's our friend."
+
+"He's a bear?" their dad repeated. "He lives under your bed? He's your friend?"
+
+"Yes," Ben said. "He's nice and funny. He likes us. He has a mysterious story. Can we keep him? Please?"
+
+Their mom and dad looked at each other and then at Max. Max looked at them and smiled. He hoped they would say yes. He wanted to stay with Anna and Ben. He wanted to own a bed and a home. He wanted to have a family.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many trees and rocks. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Sue says. "Maybe we can find some animals or flowers."
+
+"OK, Sue. But be careful. The hill is steep and the rocks are sharp." Tom says.
+
+They start to climb the hill. They hold on to the trees and the rocks. They see some birds and squirrels. They hear some water. They are happy and excited.
+
+But then, Sue slips on a wet rock. She falls down and hurts her knee. She cries out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Tom, help me!" Sue says.
+
+Tom runs to Sue. He sees her knee is bleeding. He sees her body is dirty. He feels sorry for her.
+
+"Don't worry, Sue. I'm here. I'll help you." Tom says.
+
+He takes off his shirt and wraps it around her knee. He hugs her and tells her it will be okay. He helps her stand up and walk down the hill.
+
+They go back to the park. They see their mom and dad. They run to them and tell them what happened.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we climbed the hill and saw some animals and water. But Sue fell and hurt her knee. I helped her and gave her my shirt." Tom says.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are very brave and kind. Sue, are you okay? Let me see your knee." Mom says.
+
+She looks at Sue's knee and cleans it with a wet cloth. She puts a band-aid on it and kisses it.
+
+"There, there. You'll be fine, Sue. You are very strong and adventurous. Tom, you are a good brother. But you are both very dirty. Let's go home and take a bath." Dad says.
+
+They nod and smile. They hold hands and walk to the car. They are still happy and excited. They learned a lot from their climb. They love each other and their mom and dad. They are a good family.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But Tom was stubborn and did not want to share his red car with Lily. He said it was his and only his.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to play with the red car too. She saw a candle on the table. It had a bright flame that was hot and yellow. She had an idea. She took the candle and walked to Tom. She said, "If you don't let me play with the red car, I will burn it with the candle."
+
+Tom was scared and surprised. He did not want his red car to burn. He said, "No, no, don't do that! That is mean and dangerous. You will hurt yourself and the car. Give me the candle, please."
+
+But Lily was stubborn too. She did not listen to Tom. She held the candle close to the red car. She wanted to make Tom give it to her. But she was not careful. She dropped the candle on the floor. The floor was made of wood. It caught fire. The fire was big and scary. It made smoke and noise.
+
+Tom and Lily screamed. They ran to the door. They called for their mom and dad. They came quickly and saw the fire. They were shocked and angry. They grabbed Tom and Lily and took them outside. They called the firemen. The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They put out the fire. They saved the house.
+
+Tom and Lily were sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and dad. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They promised to never play with fire again. They also promised to share their toys and be nice to each other. Mom and dad forgave them. They gave them a hug and a kiss. They said they loved them. They were happy that they were safe.
+Anna loved pizza. She liked the cheese and the sauce and the bread. She liked to eat pizza with her mom and dad and her brother Tom. Sometimes they ordered pizza from the store, and sometimes they made pizza at home.
+
+One day, mom said they would make pizza at home. Anna was happy. She wanted to help mom make the pizza. She wanted to put cheese and sauce and bread on the big plate. She wanted to make a pizza for Tom, too. Tom was her big brother. He was nice to her. He played with her and read to her and taught her new words.
+
+Mom let Anna help make the pizza. She gave Anna a small plate and some cheese and sauce and bread. She showed Anna how to spread the sauce on the bread, and how to sprinkle the cheese on top. Anna did what mom showed her. She made a small pizza for herself. Then she made another small pizza for Tom. She wanted to surprise him. She wanted to make him happy.
+
+She put some cheese and sauce and bread on the plate. But she did not make the pizza like mom showed her. She made the pizza like Tom liked it. She knew Tom liked pepperoni and olives and mushrooms on his pizza. She put some pepperoni and olives and mushrooms on the pizza. She smiled. She thought Tom would like her pizza.
+
+Mom put the pizzas in the oven. She told Anna to wait for a few minutes. She said the pizzas would be hot and yummy. Anna waited. She was hungry. She was excited. She wanted to see Tom's face when he saw her pizza.
+
+Tom came home from school. He smelled the pizza. He said he was hungry. He said he loved pizza. He went to the kitchen. He saw mom and Anna and the pizzas. He saw his pizza. He saw the pepperoni and the olives and the mushrooms. He smiled. He hugged Anna. He said thank you. He said she was thoughtful. He said she made the best pizza ever. Anna was happy. She hugged Tom. She said you're welcome. She said she loved him. They ate the pizza. They shared the pizza. They were happy. Mom was happy, too. She said they were a good family. She said she loved them. They loved her, too. They loved pizza. They loved each other.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big van parked near their house. It had many pictures of candy and toys on it. Lily and Tom wanted to see what was inside the van.
+
+They ran to the van and knocked on the door. A man opened it and smiled at them. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want some candy and toys? I have plenty in here. Come in and take a look."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy and curious. They followed the man into the van. The man closed the door behind them. He said, "Now, you have to do something for me. You have to carry these bags to the back of the van. They are very heavy, but you are strong, right?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and took the bags. They were very heavy and hard to carry. They felt something moving inside the bags. They wondered what it was. They tried to open the bags, but they were tied with ropes.
+
+The man saw them and shouted, "No, no, no! Don't open the bags! They are a surprise for you. Just carry them to the back of the van. Hurry up!"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared and confused. They did not like the man anymore. They wanted to go back to their house. They wanted to see their mom and dad. They wanted to cry.
+
+But it was too late. The man locked the back of the van and drove away. He was a bad man who stole children and sold them to other bad people. He did not care about Lily and Tom. He only cared about money.
+
+Lily and Tom felt a bitter taste in their mouths. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had never gone into the van. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They wished they could go back in time. But they could not. They were trapped in the van with the bad man. They did not know what would happen to them. They were very sad and afraid. The end.
+Tom and Lily like to jog with Mom and Dad. They jog in the park, where there are many trees and flowers. Sometimes they see birds and squirrels. They have fun jogging.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar and a leash, but no one is holding the leash. The dog runs to Tom and Lily and barks. Tom and Lily are scared. They run to Mom and Dad.
+
+"Help, help!" they cry. "The dog is chasing us!"
+
+Mom and Dad see the dog and jog to Tom and Lily. They pick them up and hug them. They are safe.
+
+"Are you OK?" Mom asks. "Did the dog hurt you?"
+
+"No, Mom, we are OK," Tom says. "But the dog is scary."
+
+"Where is the dog's owner?" Dad asks. "He should pay attention to his dog. He should not let his dog run free in the park. It is not nice."
+
+Then they see a man running to the dog. He is the dog's owner. He looks sorry. He grabs the leash and says to Mom and Dad:
+
+"I'm so sorry. My dog ran away from me. He is not mean. He just likes to play. He did not mean to scare your kids. I hope they are not hurt."
+
+Mom and Dad look at the man. They are not happy, but they are not angry. They say to the man:
+
+"Please be careful with your dog. He is big and strong. He can hurt someone. He should not play with kids he does not know. You should pay more attention to your dog. You should keep him on the leash in the park. It is the rule."
+
+The man nods and says:
+
+"You are right. I'm sorry. I will pay more attention to my dog. I will keep him on the leash in the park. It is the rule. I hope you have a nice day."
+
+Mom and Dad say:
+
+"Thank you. You too. Have a nice day."
+
+Then they jog away with Tom and Lily. They are happy. They are not scared. They have fun jogging.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big igloo with snow blocks. They are very happy.
+
+They want to celebrate their igloo. They invite their other friends to come and see. They have cookies and juice inside the igloo. They share and say thank you.
+
+Their friends like the igloo too. They say it is cool and cozy. They take turns to go inside and outside. They play games and laugh. Lily and Ben are popular. They have many friends.
+
+They celebrate their igloo until it is dark. Then they say goodbye and go home. They hug and smile. They are very proud of their igloo. They had a fun day.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy animals in the garden. They liked to pretend they were in a zoo and make noises for each animal. Lily had a big elephant and Ben had a small mouse.
+
+"Look at my elephant!" Lily said. "He is so big and strong. He can weigh a lot of things with his trunk. He can weigh a car, or a tree, or even a house!"
+
+"Wow, that's incredible!" Ben said. "But my mouse is very smart and fast. He can run and hide from any danger. He can run under a door, or a chair, or even a heel!"
+
+"A heel?" Lily asked. "What is a heel?"
+
+"A heel is the back part of your foot," Ben said. "Like this." He pointed to his own heel.
+
+"Oh, I see," Lily said. "But a heel is not very big. My elephant can weigh a heel with his trunk and not even notice. He can weigh anything!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to argue about whose animal was better. They raised their voices and made their animals fight. The elephant pushed the mouse with his trunk and the mouse bit the elephant's ear.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" their mom called from the house. "What are you doing? You are making too much noise and hurting your toys. Come inside right now!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt sorry for their animals and for each other. They picked up their toys and hugged them.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they said. "We were just playing."
+
+"Playing is good, but not when you are mean and loud," their mom said. "Why don't you share your toys and play nicely? Maybe you can learn something from each other's animals. They are both amazing in their own ways."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They followed their mom inside and decided to play zoo again. But this time, they made their elephant and mouse friends. They gave them names and stories and had fun together. They learned that big and small, strong and smart, they could all be incredible.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to run, jump and roll on the grass. They saw Mom coming out of the house with a big basket. It was full of laundry.
+
+"Mom, what are you doing?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm going to hang the laundry on the line. It's a sunny day and the clothes will dry fast," Mom said.
+
+"Can we help you, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can help me. But be careful, the basket is heavy. You can lift one piece of laundry at a time and give it to me," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They ran to the basket and looked inside. They saw shirts, pants, socks and underwear. They also saw something weird. It was a big, furry, purple thing. It had eyes, a nose and a mouth. It looked like a monster.
+
+"Mom, what is this?" Ben shouted, pointing at the weird thing.
+
+Mom looked at the basket and gasped. She recognized the weird thing. It was Dad's costume. He wore it for Halloween last year. He was a purple monster.
+
+"Oh, that's Dad's costume. I forgot to put it away. He scared a lot of people with it," Mom said, laughing.
+
+"Can we wear it, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, honey, it's too big for you. And it's not Halloween yet. Maybe you can wear it next year," Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. But can we lift it and see how heavy it is?" Ben asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It's very heavy. You need to lift it together," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily grabbed the costume and tried to lift it. It was very heavy. They lifted it a little bit and then dropped it. It made a loud thud.
+
+"Wow, that's heavy!" Ben said.
+
+"Yeah, and weird!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed and went back to lifting the other laundry. They helped Mom hang the clothes on the line. They had fun and felt proud. Mom thanked them and gave them a hug. They went back to playing on the grass. They forgot about the weird thing in the basket. But they didn't forget to have fun.
+Lily wanted to help her mom make a cake. She saw a big bowl with flour and eggs and sugar on the table. She climbed on a chair and grabbed a spoon. She tried to stir the mixture, but it was too hard.
+
+"Mom, can I help you?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie, but you need a smaller spoon. This one is too big for you. Here, use this teaspoon. It is cheap, but it works well. And be careful, don't spill anything," mom said.
+
+Lily took the teaspoon and started to stir again. She liked how the mixture became smooth and creamy. She smiled and licked the spoon. It was yummy.
+
+"Can I add some chocolate chips?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, why not? Chocolate chips make everything better. Here, take a handful and sprinkle them on top. Then we can put the cake in the oven and wait for it to bake," mom said.
+
+Lily did as mom said. She felt happy and proud. She was helping her mom make a cake. She hoped dad and brother would like it too. She gave mom a hug and said, "I love you, mom. And I love cake."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and sing together. One day, they find a new toy in the park. It is a big, soft, colorful strip. It has many buttons and sounds.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "But it is fun. Let's sing with it."
+
+They press the buttons and hear different sounds. They hear a cow, a bird, a car, and a drum. They laugh and sing along.
+
+"Moo, moo, moo, I am a cow. Tweet, tweet, tweet, I am a bird. Vroom, vroom, vroom, I am a car. Boom, boom, boom, I am a drum."
+
+They have a lot of fun with the new toy. They make up more songs and sounds. They share the strip and take turns.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He sees the new toy and wants it. He runs to Lily and Tom and grabs the strip.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Lily says. "That is ours!"
+
+"No, it is mine now!" the big boy says. "It is cool. You can't have it."
+
+He pulls the strip and runs away. Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They want their new toy back. They chase the big boy and shout.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop, you are mean. Give, give, give, our toy back. Sing, sing, sing, with us, not alone. Share, share, share, it is nice."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of snow on the ground. They put on their coats, hats, gloves and boots and ran outside. They decided to have a snowball fight.
+
+Tom was good at making snowballs. He threw them fast and hard at Lily. Lily was not so good at making snowballs. She threw them slow and soft at Tom. Tom laughed and said, "You are no match for me, Lily. You should surrender and say I win."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to surrender and say Tom win. She wanted to have fun and be fair. She thought of a plan. She said, "OK, Tom, you win. But can we make a snowman together before we go inside?"
+
+Tom was happy and proud. He said, "Sure, Lily, we can make a snowman. You are a good sister. You are thoughtful and kind." He stopped throwing snowballs and helped Lily make a big snowball for the snowman's body.
+
+But Lily was not really thoughtful and kind. She was sneaky and mean. She had a small snowball hidden in her glove. When Tom was not looking, she threw it at his face. It hit him hard and made him cry. He dropped the big snowball and it rolled away. He said, "Ow, Lily, that hurt. Why did you do that? You lied to me. You are a bad sister. You are mean and rude."
+
+Lily laughed and said, "Ha, ha, Tom, I tricked you. I did not surrender. I win. You are a bad brother. You are silly and weak." She ran away and left Tom alone in the snow.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be mean and rude to your siblings. Do not lie and trick them. Do not hurt them. Be fair and kind. Be honest and friendly. Or you will lose their trust and love.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Anna says. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"No, Anna, it's too high!" Ben says. He stays on the ground and watches.
+
+Anna slides down the slide very fast. She laughs and feels dizzy. She likes the feeling. She runs to the slide again.
+
+"Anna, stop!" Ben says. He is worried. "You will get sick if you slide too much!"
+
+Anna does not listen. She slides down the slide again and again. She feels more dizzy. She does not laugh anymore.
+
+"Anna, please!" Ben says. He insists. He wants his sister to stop.
+
+Mom sees Anna and Ben. She walks to them. She sees that Anna is pale and looks sick.
+
+"Anna, what's wrong?" Mom asks. She is concerned.
+
+"I feel dizzy, Mom," Anna says. She holds her head.
+
+Mom hugs Anna. She gives her some water. She says, "Anna, you should not slide too much. It can make you dizzy and sick. You should listen to Ben. He cares about you."
+
+Mom gives Anna a lecture. She tells her to be careful and to rest. She tells Ben to be brave and to try new things.
+
+Anna and Ben say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and kiss. They learn their lesson. They play in the park with Mom, but not on the slide. They have fun.
+Ben and Mia like to play in the garden. They look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, they see something new. It is a lizard. The lizard is red and has a long tail. It runs fast on the grass.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "It is a red lizard. I want to catch it."
+
+"Me too!" Mia says. "Let's be quiet and sneak up on it."
+
+They kneel on the ground and crawl slowly. They try not to scare the lizard. But the lizard sees them and runs away. It hides under a big leaf.
+
+"Where did it go?" Ben asks. He lifts the leaf and peeks under it.
+
+"Shh, there it is!" Mia whispers. She reaches out her hand and touches the lizard gently. The lizard feels smooth and warm. It does not bite or scratch.
+
+"Hello, little lizard," Mia says. "You are so pretty. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The lizard looks at Mia and Ben with its small eyes. It does not run away. It seems to like them. It flicks its tongue and makes a soft sound.
+
+"Maybe it is saying hello back," Ben says. He smiles and strokes the lizard's head. "Do you think we can keep it as a pet?"
+
+"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it has a family or a home. Maybe it likes to be free."
+
+They think for a moment. They like the lizard, but they also want it to be happy.
+
+"Maybe we can visit it sometimes," Ben says. "But we should let it go now. It might miss its friends."
+
+"OK," Mia says. "Bye, red lizard. Thank you for playing with us."
+
+They put the lizard back on the grass and watch it run away. They wave and say goodbye. They feel happy and sad at the same time.
+
+They go back to their house and tell their mom about the red lizard. She hugs them and says they are very kind and gentle. She gives them some cookies and milk. They eat and drink and talk about their new friend. They hope to see it again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big hill with green grass. They want to roll down the hill.
+
+"Let's go, Anna!" Ben says. He runs to the hill and lies down on the grass. He starts to roll. He feels the grass tickle his face and arms. He giggles.
+
+Anna follows him. She lies down on the grass too. She rolls next to Ben. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her skin. She smiles.
+
+They reach the bottom of the hill. They stand up and dust off the grass. They look at each other and laugh. They are happy.
+
+But then they see a boy. He is bigger than them. He has a mean face. He walks to them and says, "What are you doing here? This is my hill. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not know the boy. They do not want to fight. They say, "We are sorry. We just wanted to play. We can share the hill."
+
+The boy shakes his head. He says, "No, you can't. You are silly and dirty. Look at your clothes. They are full of grass. You look like cows. Moo, moo!"
+
+The boy starts to tease them. He makes fun of their clothes, their hair, their names. He says rude words. He laughs at them.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sad and angry. They do not like the boy. He is not nice. He is not a friend. He is a bully.
+
+They decide to leave. They do not want to play with the boy. They say, "You are mean. You are not funny. You are rude. We do not like you. We are going to find another hill. Bye!"
+
+They run away from the boy. They look for another hill. They find one with more grass and flowers. They roll down the hill again. They forget about the boy. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were heroes who saved the world from bad guys. Lily had a doll that she called Super Girl, and Ben had a car that he called Zoom. They made noises and moved their toys around the couch and the table.
+
+"Look out, Super Girl, Zoom is coming to help you!" Ben shouted.
+
+"Thank you, Zoom, you are my hero!" Lily said.
+
+They were having fun, but outside it was gloomy. The sky was gray and it was raining hard. They could hear the thunder and see the lightning. They felt scared and hugged their toys.
+
+"Mommy, can we go outside?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, it's not safe. The rain is too heavy and the thunder is too loud. We have to stay inside until it stops." Mommy said.
+
+"But we want to play outside. We don't like the gloomy weather." Ben said.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged them. "I know, my loves, but sometimes we have to wait for the sun to come back. Why don't we play a different game? How about we make a fort with the pillows and the blankets? We can pretend that we are in a secret cave."
+
+Lily and Ben liked that idea. They dropped their toys and ran to get the pillows and the blankets. They helped Mommy build a big fort in the corner of the living room. They crawled inside and made a cozy nest. They brought their toys and some books and snacks. They told stories and sang songs and laughed. They forgot about the gloomy weather and had fun in their fort. They were happy and felt safe. They were still heroes, but now they were heroes of the fort.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they want to go to a new place. They ask their moms.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the park?" Lila says.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the zoo?" Tom says.
+
+Their moms think for a moment. They say yes, but they have to share. They can go to the park first, and then to the zoo.
+
+Lila and Tom are happy. They say thank you to their moms. They get in the car and go to the park. The park is a lovely place. There are swings, slides, and a sandbox. Lila and Tom run and laugh. They swing high, slide fast, and make sandcastles.
+
+After a while, they are ready to go to the zoo. They get back in the car and go to the zoo. The zoo is also a lovely place. There are many animals. Lila and Tom see lions, monkeys, and penguins. They roar, chatter, and waddle. They learn new things and have fun.
+
+Lila and Tom are tired but happy. They hug their moms and say thank you. They say goodbye to the park and the zoo. They go home and have a nap. They dream of the lovely places they saw. They are glad they are friends.
+Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat something warm and yummy. Mom said she had soup available for them. She put two bowls of soup on the table and gave them spoons.
+
+"Be careful, the soup is hot," Mom said. "Blow on it before you eat."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They blew on their soup and took small sips. The soup was good. It had carrots and potatoes and chicken in it.
+
+"More soup, please," Tom said when he finished his bowl.
+
+"Me too, more soup, please," Lily said and repeated what Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled and poured more soup for them. She was happy that they liked her soup.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said and repeated what each other said.
+
+"You're welcome, my sweeties," Mom said and kissed them on their heads. "You're very polite and kind."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and ate their soup. They felt warm and full and happy. They loved their mom and her soup.
+Sara and Ben were jolly twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big red ball that they kicked and threw to each other. One day, they saw a big scale in the park. It was a machine that could tell how much you weigh. Sara and Ben were curious and wanted to try it.
+
+They took turns to stand on the scale and see the numbers. Sara weighed 30 and Ben weighed 32. They were happy and proud of their numbers. They decided to play a game. They wanted to see who could make the scale show the biggest number. They thought it would be fun.
+
+They tried different things. They jumped on the scale together. They put their ball on the scale. They even found a big stick and put it on the scale. But nothing made the scale show a bigger number than 32. They were getting bored and frustrated.
+
+Then they had an idea. They saw a big truck parked near the park. It was a truck that carried heavy things to the east. They thought the truck must weigh a lot. They ran to the truck and climbed inside. They hoped the driver would not see them. They wanted to surprise him and make him laugh.
+
+But the driver did not laugh. He did not see them. He started the truck and drove away. He did not know Sara and Ben were in the back. He did not hear their screams. He did not stop. He drove fast and far to the east. He never came back.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared and sad. They missed their home and their mom and dad. They missed their ball and their park and their scale. They wished they had never played that game. They wished they had never climbed into the truck. They wished they could go back. But they could not. They were stuck in the east. They were not jolly anymore.
+Anna and Ben like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper and on the wall. Mommy and Daddy do not like when they paint on the wall. They say it is bad.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben paint a big ghost on the wall. It is white and scary. It has a mouth and eyes and a long tail. Anna and Ben think it is funny. They laugh and say "Boo!"
+
+But then, the ghost moves. It is not a painting. It is a real ghost. It is angry. It says "Who painted me? I do not like it. It hurts. You are naughty. I will scare you."
+
+Anna and Ben are afraid. They scream and run. They hide under the bed. They say "Sorry, sorry, sorry. We did not know. Please do not hurt us."
+
+The ghost follows them. It is loud and mean. It says "You have to clean the wall. You have to say sorry to Mommy and Daddy. You have to be good. Or I will haunt you."
+
+Anna and Ben cry. They do not want to be haunted. They do not want to clean the wall. They do not want to say sorry. They want the ghost to go away.
+
+But then, they hear Mommy and Daddy. They come home. They see the ghost. They are not afraid. They are surprised. They say "Wow, what a great painting. You are so creative. How did you do it?"
+
+The ghost is confused. It is not used to being praised. It says "You like it? You are not mad? You are not scared?"
+
+Mommy and Daddy say "No, we like it. We are proud. We are not scared. It is just a painting. It is not real."
+
+The ghost is sad. It says "But I am real. I am a ghost. I want to be scary. I want to be noticed."
+
+Mommy and Daddy say "We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt your feelings. You are a very good ghost. You are very scary. You are very noticed. But you do not have to be mean. You can be nice. You can be our friend."
+
+The ghost is happy. It says "Really? You want to be my friend? You do not mind if I stay?"
+
+Mommy and Daddy say "No, we do not mind. You can stay. You can paint with Anna and Ben. You can play with them. You can have fun. But you have to be good. You have to follow the rules. You have to say please and thank you."
+
+The ghost says "OK, I will. I will be good. I will follow the rules. I will say please and thank you. Thank you for being my friend. Please can I have a hug?"
+
+Mommy and Daddy say "Of course. You can have a hug. You are welcome. You are our friend."
+
+Anna and Ben come out from under the bed. They are not afraid anymore. They are curious. They say "Can we hug the ghost too? Can we paint with the ghost too? Can we play with the ghost too?"
+
+The ghost says "Yes, you can. You are my friends too. I am sorry for scaring you. I am sorry for hurting you. I am sorry for being naughty. Please forgive me."
+
+Anna and Ben say "We forgive you. We are sorry for painting you. We are sorry for being naughty. Please forgive us."
+
+The ghost says "I forgive you. We are all sorry. We are all forgiven. We are all friends."
+
+They all hug. They all smile. They all paint. They all play. They all have fun. They are happy. The end.
+Lily likes books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She has many books in her room, but she wants more. She asks her mom to buy her a new book.
+
+"Mom, can I have a new book? Please, please, please!" Lily says.
+
+"Maybe, Lily. But you have to be good and help me with the chores. Can you deliver this letter to Mrs. Lee next door?" Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom. I can do that. But I want a book with princesses and dragons and magic!" Lily says.
+
+Lily takes the letter and runs to Mrs. Lee's house. She knocks on the door and waits. Mrs. Lee opens the door and smiles.
+
+"Hello, Lily. What do you have for me?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+"Hi, Mrs. Lee. I have a letter for you. Mom says to deliver it to you." Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet. Do you want to come in and see my new book?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+Lily's eyes light up. She loves books. She nods and follows Mrs. Lee inside. Mrs. Lee shows her a big book with colorful pictures and words.
+
+"This is my new book. It is about animals and their sounds. Do you want to hear some?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily says.
+
+Mrs. Lee opens the book and points to a picture of a cow. She says, "This is a cow. It says moo. Can you say moo?"
+
+Lily says, "Moo!"
+
+Mrs. Lee points to a picture of a duck. She says, "This is a duck. It says quack. Can you say quack?"
+
+Lily says, "Quack!"
+

+
+Lily says, "Hiss!"
+

+
+Lily says, "Hee-haw!"
+

+
+Lily says, "Ooh-ooh-ahh-ahh!"
+
+Mrs. Lee and Lily laugh and clap. They have fun with the book. Lily thinks the book is very nice. She forgets about the book with princesses and dragons and magic. She likes the book with animals and sounds.
+
+"Mrs. Lee, can I have your book? Please, please, please!" Lily says.
+
+Mrs. Lee smiles and says, "Of course, Lily. You can have my book. You are a good girl and you like books. But you have to promise me something."
+
+"What, Mrs. Lee?" Lily says.
+
+"You have to promise me to share the book with your mom and dad and your friends. And you have to promise me to learn the words and not just the sounds. OK?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+"OK, Mrs. Lee. I promise. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily says.
+
+Lily hugs Mrs. Lee and takes the book. She runs back to her house. She is very happy. She shows the book to her mom and dad and her friends. She learns the words and the sounds. She thinks the book is the best book ever. She thinks Mrs. Lee is very nice. She thinks books are not stupid. She thinks books are fun.
+Lila and Ben are adventurous kids. They like to explore the park near their house. One day, they see a big black bird on a tree. They want to get closer to the bird.
+
+"Look, Ben, a black bird!" Lila says. "It is so big and shiny!"
+
+"Let's go and say hello to the bird," Ben says. "Maybe it will talk to us."
+
+They run to the tree and look up. The bird is sitting on a branch. It has a long beak and bright eyes. It looks at them and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Kraa! Kraa!" the bird says.
+
+"Wow, it can talk!" Lila says. "Hello, bird, what is your name?"
+
+The bird does not answer. It picks a red berry from the tree and eats it.
+
+"Can we have a berry too, bird?" Ben asks. "They look yummy."
+
+The bird picks another berry and throws it at Ben. It hits his nose.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben says. "That was not nice, bird!"
+
+"Kraa! Kraa!" the bird says. It picks more berries and throws them at Lila and Ben.
+
+Lila and Ben run away from the tree. They are covered with red juice.
+
+"That was a mean bird," Lila says. "It did not want to share."
+
+"Let's go and play somewhere else," Ben says. "Maybe we can find a nicer animal to talk to."
+
+They leave the park and go home. They tell their mom about the black bird. She laughs and gives them a hug.
+
+"Next time, be careful with wild animals," she says. "They are not always friendly."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They wash their faces and change their clothes. They are still adventurous, but they do not want to meet the black bird again.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside with their sticks. They had many sticks of different sizes and shapes. They pretended that their sticks were swords or guns or rockets.
+
+One day, Tom found a shiny stick in the grass. It was metal and had a red button on it. Tom thought it was a special stick. He wanted to keep it for himself. He ran to the shed and got a cloth. He started to polish the stick to make it more shiny.
+
+Sam saw Tom and followed him. He was curious about the shiny stick. He asked Tom, "What is that? Can I see it?"
+
+Tom said, "No, this is my stick. It is a magic stick. It can do anything. Go away!"
+
+Sam was confused. He did not understand why Tom was so mean. He wanted to play with the stick too. He said, "Please, Tom, let me try it. Maybe we can share it."
+
+Tom said, "No, it is mine. You have your own sticks. Leave me alone!"
+
+Sam was sad and angry. He thought Tom was being selfish. He decided to take the stick from Tom. He grabbed the stick and pulled it hard. Tom did not let go. They started to fight over the stick.
+
+They did not notice that the red button was pressed. The stick made a loud noise and a bright flash. It was not a magic stick. It was a firework stick. It exploded in their hands and made a big hole in the shed.
+
+Tom and Sam were scared and hurt. They dropped the stick and ran to their mom. They cried and said they were sorry. Mom hugged them and took them to the doctor. She said, "You should not play with things you do not know. You should not fight over sticks. You should be nice to each other."
+
+Tom and Sam learned their lesson. They said they were sorry to each other. They promised to share their sticks and play together. They never touched the firework stick again.
+Lila and Ben like to play with blocks. They can make many structures with blocks. They can make houses, towers, bridges, and more. They have fun with blocks.
+
+One day, they see a new toy in the store. It is a big structure with many pieces. It has wheels, gears, lights, and sounds. It looks very cool and fun. Lila and Ben want to buy it.
+
+They ask their mom if they can buy it. Their mom looks at the price. It is very high. She says, "No, you cannot buy it. It is too expensive. You have many blocks at home. You can play with them."
+
+Lila and Ben are sad. They really want the new toy. They think it is better than blocks. They beg their mom to buy it. They say, "Please, please, please. We will share it. We will be good. We will clean our room. Please, please, please."
+
+Their mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot buy it. It is not a good toy. It is not tough. It can break easily. It needs batteries. It is noisy. It is not good for your imagination. Blocks are better. They are tough. They do not break. They do not need batteries. They are quiet. They are good for your imagination. You can make anything with blocks."
+
+Lila and Ben think about what their mom says. They look at the new toy again. They see that it is not very tough. Some pieces are loose. Some lights are dim. Some sounds are annoying. They look at the blocks. They see that they are very tough. They are strong. They are bright. They are quiet. They can make anything with blocks.
+
+They smile at their mom. They say, "You are right, mom. Blocks are better. We do not need the new toy. We have fun with blocks. Thank you, mom."
+
+Their mom hugs them. She says, "You are welcome, my loves. I am proud of you. You are smart and creative. Let's go home and play with blocks."
+Ben and Mia like to play with their toy helicopter. They pretend that they are pilots and they fly to different places. Sometimes they rescue animals or people who need help.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the garage. It is empty and has a hole on one side. Ben has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's load the box with our toys and fly it with the helicopter. We can take it to the park and share with our friends."
+
+Mia thinks that is a good idea. She says, "Yes, let's do that. But we have to be careful. The helicopter is not very strong and the box is heavy. We have to load it slowly and evenly."
+
+They start to load the box with their toys. They put some books, some cars, some dolls, some balls, and some puzzles. They try to balance the weight on both sides of the hole. They check the helicopter to see if it can lift the box. It can, but it makes a loud noise.
+
+They are ready to go. They put the helicopter on top of the box and hold it with their hands. They walk out of the garage and towards the park. They make sounds like the helicopter is flying. They say, "Vroom, vroom, vroom. We are the best pilots ever. We are going to make our friends happy."
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to travel. They had a big map on the wall and they put stickers on the places they wanted to go. One day, they saw a sticker of a skeleton on the map. It was in a museum far away.
+
+"Let's go see the skeleton!" Lily said. "It looks scary and cool!"
+
+"OK, but how do we get there?" Tom asked. "We need a car or a bus or a train."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. She ran to her room and came back with a big cardboard box. She cut out some windows and a door and drew some wheels and a license plate on it.
+
+"Look, Tom, this is our car!" she said. "We can travel in it to the museum!"
+
+Tom smiled and got inside the box with Lily. They pretended to drive and honk and sing along the way. They used their imagination to see the roads and the trees and the buildings.
+
+After a while, they arrived at the museum. They got out of the box and walked inside. They saw many things, like paintings and statues and fossils. But they were looking for the skeleton.
+
+"Where is it?" Lily asked. "I want to see it!"
+
+"Me too!" Tom said. "Maybe it's over there!"
+
+They followed a sign that said "Bones". They walked into a big room with glass cases. Inside the cases, they saw many skeletons of different animals. There were skeletons of birds and fish and horses and elephants. But there was one skeleton that was bigger and stranger than the others. It had a long neck and a long tail and big feet and sharp teeth. It was a dinosaur skeleton.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Tom said together. "That's the skeleton we saw on the map!"
+
+They ran to the case and looked at the dinosaur skeleton. They were amazed and curious. They wanted to touch it and play with it. But there was a rope around the case and a sign that said "Do not touch".
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lily asked a lady who worked at the museum. "Please?"
+
+The lady smiled and shook her head. "No, you can't touch it. It's very old and fragile. It could break if you touch it."
+
+"But it looks so fun!" Tom said. "Can we play with it?"
+
+The lady shook her head again. "No, you can't play with it. It's not a toy. It's a fossil. It's a very important and rare thing. We have to protect it and study it."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad and disappointed. They wanted to touch and play with the skeleton, but they couldn't. They wondered why it was not available for them.
+
+"Can we at least take a picture with it?" Lily asked.
+
+The lady nodded. "Yes, you can do that. That's OK. You can stand next to the case and smile. I'll take a picture for you."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy again. They stood next to the case and smiled. The lady took a picture for them. They thanked her and looked at the picture. They saw themselves and the skeleton. They thought it was a very cool picture.
+
+They decided to put the picture on their map when they got home. They said goodbye to the lady and the skeleton and went back to their box car. They pretended to drive back home and talked about their adventure. They had fun traveling to the museum and seeing the skeleton. They wondered where they would travel next.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers. They had a map and a compass and a backpack.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a volcano!" Lily said, pointing to a big hill. "Let's go and see it!"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. Volcanoes are hot and loud and scary," Tom said. He followed Lily up the hill.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and saw a hole. Smoke was coming out of the hole. Lily and Tom felt the heat on their faces.
+
+"Wow, this is a real volcano!" Lily said. She wanted to get closer.
+
+"Wait, Lily, don't go too near. It might erupt!" Tom said. He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her back. His hand was tight.
+
+"Ow, Tom, you are hurting me!" Lily said. She tried to free her hand.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, but I don't want you to get hurt. Volcanoes are dangerous. We should go back to the park," Tom said. He let go of Lily's hand.
+
+"OK, Tom, you are right. Volcanoes are not for playing. They are for looking," Lily said. She nodded and smiled.
+
+They walked down the hill and back to the park. They had fun playing with their map and compass and backpack. They decided to explore something else next time.
+Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play by the river. They had a raft that they made from old wood and rope. They took turns to pull the raft with a long stick. They had fun going up and down the water.
+
+One day, a big boy came and saw their raft. He wanted to play with it too. He said, "That's a unique raft. Can I try it?" Lila and Sam did not know him. They did not want to share their raft. They said, "No, this is our raft. Go away!"
+
+The big boy did not listen. He grabbed the stick and tried to pull the raft. But he pulled too hard and the rope broke. The raft floated away with the water. Lila and Sam were sad and angry. They shouted, "You broke our raft! You are mean!"
+
+The big boy felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break your raft. I just wanted to play. Can we be friends?" Lila and Sam looked at him. They saw that he was not so bad. They said, "Maybe. But you have to help us fix our raft first."
+
+The big boy nodded. He said, "OK. I will help you. I have some tools and more rope at home. Come with me." Lila and Sam followed him. They worked together to fix their raft. They made it stronger and better. Then they went back to the river and played with their raft. They had more fun than before. They became friends. They learned to share and forgive.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went with their mom and dad to the big church. They saw many people there, some old and some young, some sad and some jolly. They heard the music and the singing and the talking.
+
+Tom and Sue wanted to join the fun, so they ran around the church, laughing and shouting. They did not listen to their mom and dad, who told them to be quiet and sit still. They did not care about the other people, who looked at them with angry or annoyed faces.
+
+Soon, a man in a black robe came to them. He was the priest, who was in charge of the church. He was not jolly at all. He was very stern and serious. He said to Tom and Sue, "You are making too much noise. You are disturbing the service. You are being rude and disrespectful. You must leave the church now. Go outside and wait for your parents. And do not come back until you learn how to behave."
+
+Tom and Sue felt scared and ashamed. They did not want to leave the church. They wanted to stay and see the pretty things and hear the nice sounds. They wanted to say sorry to the priest and the people. But they had no choice. They had to obey the priest. They followed him to the door. He shut the door behind them. He locked it with a key. He left them alone outside.
+
+Tom and Sue cried. They hugged each other. They wished they had been good and quiet. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They wondered if they would ever see the church again. They hoped the priest and the people would forgive them. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned to respect the church and the people in it. They learned to be jolly, but not too jolly.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big pile of waste near the swings. It is dirty and smelly. They wonder what is in it.
+
+They run to the pile and start to dig. They find cans, bottles, papers and other things. They think they are treasures. They put them in their pockets and bags. Mom and dad are not happy. They tell them to stop and come back.
+
+Lily and Ben do not listen. They want to find more. They lean over the pile and reach for something shiny. But the pile is not strong. It falls down and makes a loud noise. Lily and Ben are scared. They are covered in waste. They cry and call for mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad run to them and hug them. They are glad they are not hurt. They help them clean up and throw away the waste. They tell them to never play with waste again. It is bad for them and the park. Lily and Ben are sorry. They say they will not do it again.
+
+They go to the swings and have fun. They are happy and clean. They learn to be careful and respect the park. They love mom and dad. Mom and dad love them. The end.
+Tom likes to play with his guitar. He likes to make loud sounds and sing funny songs. He plays his guitar every day in his room.
+
+One day, his mom comes to his room and says, "Tom, it is time to go to the park. Put your guitar away and get your coat."
+
+Tom does not want to go to the park. He wants to play with his guitar more. He says, "No, mom, I want to play guitar. Guitar is fun. Park is boring."
+
+His mom says, "Tom, you have to go to the park. You need some fresh air and exercise. You can play with your guitar later. Come on, let's go."
+
+Tom gets angry. He does not listen to his mom. He holds his guitar tight and runs to the door. He tries to open the door, but his mom stops him. She says, "Tom, stop. You are being naughty. Give me your guitar. You can have it back when we come home."
+
+Tom does not want to give his guitar to his mom. He pulls his guitar hard and says, "No, mom, it is mine. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+But his mom is stronger than him. She grabs his guitar and tries to take it from him. Tom and his mom pull the guitar from each other. They pull and pull and pull.
+
+Then, something bad happens. The guitar breaks. It makes a loud snap. The strings fly off. The wood cracks. The guitar is broken.
+
+Tom and his mom are shocked. They look at the broken guitar. They feel sad. Tom feels hurt. He loves his guitar. He says, "Mom, you broke my guitar. You are mean. I hate you."
+
+His mom feels sorry. She did not mean to break his guitar. She says, "Tom, I am sorry. I did not want to break your guitar. I was trying to help you. I love you."
+
+Tom and his mom hug each other. They say sorry to each other. They go to the park. They play and have fun. They forget about the broken guitar. They are happy.
+Lily was very excited to go on a big plane with her mom and dad. She loved to see the clouds and the sky from the window. She wanted to know how the plane could fly so fast and high.
+
+When they got on the plane, Lily saw a man in a blue suit and a hat. He had a shiny badge on his chest. He smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. I am the pilot. I fly the plane."
+
+Lily was amazed. She wanted to see the pilot's seat and the buttons and the wheel. She said to the pilot, "Can I fly the plane with you? Please, please, please!"
+
+The pilot laughed and said, "Sorry, little girl. You are too young to fly the plane. You have to sit with your mom and dad and buckle your seat belt. Maybe when you are older, you can be a pilot too."
+
+Lily was not happy. She did not want to sit and buckle. She wanted to fly. She said to the pilot, "No, no, no! I want to fly the plane now! I demand to fly the plane now!"
+
+The pilot shook his head and said, "No, little girl. You cannot demand to fly the plane. That is not polite. You have to listen to the pilot and the flight attendants. They are here to keep you safe and comfortable. If you are good, maybe I will give you a sticker and a toy after we land."
+
+Lily thought about the sticker and the toy. She liked stickers and toys. She decided to be good and listen to the pilot. She said, "Okay, pilot. I will sit and buckle. But can I see the plane from the window?"
+
+The pilot nodded and said, "Of course, little girl. You can see the plane from the window. And you can see the clouds and the sky too. They are very beautiful. Enjoy your flight."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, pilot. You are very nice. Maybe I will be a pilot like you when I grow up."
+
+The pilot winked and said, "You are very welcome, little girl. And maybe you will. You have a lot of curiosity and courage. Those are good qualities for a pilot. Have a nice trip."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys in the water. They splash and laugh.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is time to wash your hair. Who wants shampoo first?" Anna and Ben both say, "Me, me, me!" Mom says, "OK, Anna, you go first. Ben, you wait your turn."
+
+Mom puts shampoo on Anna's head. She rubs it gently. She says, "Close your eyes, Anna. I will rinse the shampoo off." Anna closes her eyes. She feels the water on her head. She says, "It tickles!"
+
+Ben sees the shampoo bottle. He wants to play with it. He reaches for it. He does not ask Mom. He does not wait his turn. He grabs the bottle. He squeezes it hard.
+
+The shampoo comes out of the bottle. It goes everywhere. It goes on Ben's face. It goes on Mom's face. It goes on the floor. It makes a big mess.
+
+Mom and Anna open their eyes. They see the shampoo. They see Ben. They are angry. They are sad. They say, "Ben, why did you do that? You did not request the shampoo. You did not wait your turn. You made a big mess. You are not brave. You are naughty."
+
+Ben feels the shampoo on his face. He feels the shampoo in his eyes. He feels the shampoo in his mouth. He does not like it. He cries. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I wanted to play with the shampoo. I did not think. I did not know. I am not naughty. I am not brave. I am scared."
+
+Mom says, "Ben, you need to learn to request things. You need to learn to wait your turn. You need to learn to be brave. You need to learn to say sorry. You need to learn to clean up your mess. Come on, let's rinse the shampoo off. Then we will dry you and Anna. Then we will talk more."
+
+Ben goes with Mom. He rinses the shampoo off. He dries himself and Anna. He talks with Mom. He says sorry again. He helps to clean up the mess. He learns his lesson. He hopes Mom and Anna will forgive him. He hopes they will still love him. He hopes they will still play with him. He hopes he will be brave next time.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good and obedient girl. She always washed her hands and listened to her mom's instructions. She also wore a pretty apron that her mom made for her. It had flowers and butterflies on it.
+
+One day, Lily's friend Anna came over to play. Anna saw Lily's apron and said, "Wow, that's a nice apron. Can I try it on?" Lily liked to share, so she said, "Sure, you can lend it for a little while. But be careful, don't spill anything on it." Anna thanked Lily and put on the apron. She felt very happy.
+
+Lily and Anna decided to make some cookies with Lily's mom. They helped to measure, mix, and roll the dough. They cut out different shapes and put them on a baking sheet. Lily's mom put the cookies in the oven and told them to wait for 15 minutes. Lily and Anna played with some toys while they waited.
+
+But Anna forgot to be careful. She picked up a crayon and started to draw on the apron. She made a big red heart and wrote her name on it. She thought it looked pretty. She did not notice that Lily was watching her. Lily felt very sad and angry. She said, "Anna, what are you doing? That's my apron. You are not supposed to draw on it. You are not a good friend. Give it back to me now!"
+
+Anna realized that she had done something wrong. She felt very sorry and ashamed. She said, "Lily, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your apron. I just wanted to make it more beautiful. Please forgive me. I'll try to wash it off." Lily was still upset, but she saw that Anna was sincere. She said, "Anna, I forgive you. But you have to be more careful next time. And you have to ask before you do something like that. My mom made this apron for me. It's very special to me." Anna nodded and hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry. You are a very good friend. And your apron is very special too." Lily smiled and hugged Anna back. She said, "Anna, I'm glad you are my friend. And I'm glad you like my apron. Maybe we can make one for you too." Anna liked that idea. She said, "That would be nice. Thank you, Lily."
+
+Lily's mom came back with the cookies. They smelled delicious. She saw Lily and Anna hugging and smiling. She also saw the apron with the crayon marks. She said, "Oh, what happened here?" Lily and Anna told her the whole story. Lily's mom was not angry. She said, "Well, I'm glad you two are still friends. And I'm glad you like to help me in the kitchen. But next time, please use paper and not aprons for your drawings. OK?" Lily and Anna said, "OK, mom." They took off the apron and put it in the sink. They hoped it would come off. Then they ate some cookies and drank some milk. They were happy and obedient girls.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box of screws in the garage. They thought they could use them to make things, like cars and robots.
+
+"Look, I made a car with four screws for wheels!" Tim said, showing his toy to Sam.
+
+"That's not a car, that's a mess!" Sam said, laughing. "My robot is much better. It has six screws for arms and legs, and two for eyes!"
+
+Tim felt angry and sad. He did not like Sam's words. He wanted to make Sam suffer. He had a bad idea. He took one of Sam's screws and hid it under his pillow.
+
+That night, when Sam went to bed, he felt something hard and sharp under his head. He screamed and jumped out of bed. He saw the screw and realized what Tim had done.
+
+"Tim, you are so mean! You hurt me with your screw!" Sam cried, running to their mom.
+
+Mom came and saw what happened. She was very upset. She scolded Tim and made him say sorry to Sam. She also took away their screws and gave them back to dad.
+
+"Boys, you should not play with screws. They are not toys. They are dangerous. You could hurt yourself or someone else. And you should not be mean to your brother. You should be thoughtful and kind. You should share and help each other. That's what brothers do." Mom said.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged each other and apologized. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their other toys, like blocks and balls. They also decided to be more thoughtful and nice to each other. They did not want to suffer or make anyone suffer again.
+Tim and Mia like to create things with clay. They make animals, cars, houses and more. They have fun and show their mom and dad what they made.
+
+One day, they decide to create a mosquito. They roll a small ball of clay for the body, and stick four thin sticks for the legs. They add two tiny wings and a long nose. They think it looks funny and scary.
+
+They put the mosquito on the table and go to play outside. But they forget to close the window. A real mosquito flies in and sees the clay mosquito. It thinks it is another mosquito and wants to be friends.
+
+"Hello, I am Buzz. Do you want to play with me?" the mosquito says to the clay mosquito. But the clay mosquito does not answer. It does not move or make any sound. The mosquito is confused and tries again. "Hello, are you shy? Don't be nervous, I am nice." But the clay mosquito still does not answer.
+
+The mosquito gets angry and thinks the clay mosquito is rude. It decides to bite the clay mosquito and teach it a lesson. It flies closer and closer to the long nose. But when it touches the nose, it feels hard and cold. It is not a real nose, it is clay!
+
+The mosquito is surprised and scared. It realizes it made a mistake. It flies away as fast as it can. It does not want to play with the clay mosquito anymore. It looks for a real mosquito to play with.
+
+Tim and Mia come back inside and see the mosquito flying away. They wonder what happened. They look at the clay mosquito and see a small dent on the nose. They laugh and think the mosquito tried to bite the clay mosquito. They are glad the clay mosquito is safe. They put it on a shelf and create something else.
+Tom and Sue are gifted kids. They can read and write and do math very well. They like to learn new things and play with books and puzzles. But sometimes they get bored at school, because the teacher gives them easy work.
+
+One day, the teacher tells them to sit and do a worksheet. Tom and Sue finish it in a few minutes. They look around and see the other kids still working. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Can we do something else?" Tom asks.
+
+"Me too. This is too easy," Sue says.
+
+They get up and go to the bookshelf. They pick up some books and start to read. The teacher sees them and gets angry.
+
+"Tom and Sue, what are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are reading, teacher," Tom says.
+
+"You are not following the law. The law is you have to sit and do your work. Go back to your seats now," she says.
+
+"But teacher, we already did our work. We want to learn more," Sue says.
+
+"I don't care. You have to do what I say. That is the law. If you don't, you will go to the principal's office," she says.
+
+Tom and Sue feel sad and scared. They don't understand why the teacher is so mean. They go back to their seats and sit quietly. They wish they had a different teacher who would let them learn more. They hope they will find a way to be happy and gifted at school.
+Sara and Ben like to make things with paper. They have many colors of paper, scissors, and tape. They can cut, fold, and stick the paper to make animals, flowers, and houses.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big boat with paper. They cut a big piece of blue paper and fold it like a hat. Then they fold the corners and tape them together. They make a mast with a straw and a small piece of white paper. They tape the mast to the boat.
+
+"Look, we made a boat!" Sara says. "Let's play with it in the tub."
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. The paper might get wet and break," Ben says.
+
+They fill the tub with water and put the boat in. They pretend to sail to different places. They have fun with their boat.
+
+But then, Sara sees a hole in the boat. The water is going inside. The boat is sinking.
+
+"Oh no, our boat is broken!" Sara cries.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara. We can make another one. We still have more paper and tape," Ben says.
+
+He hugs Sara and helps her out of the tub. He is a dependable brother. He always makes Sara feel better.
+
+They dry themselves and go back to their room. They make a new boat with paper. This time, they use more tape to make it stronger. They hope their boat will last longer. They love to make things with paper.

+Ben and Lily liked to play in the forest. They saw many animals and plants there. They liked to run, jump and climb. But one day, they met a lazy fox.
+
+The fox was lying on a big rock. He did not want to hunt or play. He only wanted to sleep. He saw Ben and Lily and said, "Go away, you noisy kids. You are bothering me. Let me sleep."
+
+Ben and Lily did not understand. They wanted to be friends with the fox. They said, "Why are you so lazy, fox? Don't you like to have fun? Come and play with us. We can show you many things in the forest."
+
+The fox did not care. He said, "No, thank you. I have seen enough of the forest. It is boring and hard. I prefer to sleep and dream. Now, leave me alone."
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They did not like the fox. They thought he was rude and mean. They decided to leave him alone and find other animals to play with. They hoped the fox would change his mind and be more friendly.

+
+One day, Lily's friend, Ben, came to visit. Ben liked cats too, but he did not have one at home. He saw Max and wanted to play with him. He asked Lily, "Can I lend your cat for a while? I want to hug him and pet him."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She loved Max, but she also wanted to be nice to Ben. She said, "OK, you can lend my cat, but only for a little bit. And you have to be gentle and careful with him. He is thin and fragile."
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He took Max in his arms and stroked his fur. Max purred and licked Ben's face. Ben was happy and said, "Thank you, Lily. Your cat is very sweet and soft. I wish I had a cat like him."
+
+Lily watched them and felt a bit jealous. She missed Max and wanted him back. She said, "Ben, it's time to give me back my cat. I want to play with him too. He is my cat, not yours."
+
+Ben looked sad and said, "But I like him so much. Can I lend him for a little longer? Please, Lily, please."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, Ben, no. You have to share. You can't keep my cat forever. He is mine, and I love him. You can play with him again another day, but now he has to come with me."
+
+Ben sighed and gave Max back to Lily. He said, "OK, Lily, OK. I'm sorry. I understand. Your cat is very special to you. Thank you for lending him to me. He is a good cat."
+
+Lily hugged Max and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You're a good friend. But Max is my best friend. I'm glad he is with me."

+
+Sam said, "No, you can't. That is my dad's car. He does not permit anyone to touch it. It is very special and expensive. You can play with my toy cars instead."
+
+But Tim did not listen. He was not honest. He waited until Sam went inside the house to get a drink. Then he sneaked into the garage and opened the door of the big red car. He climbed inside and pretended to drive. He pushed some buttons and turned some knobs. He did not know what they did.
+

+
+"Look, Milo, a bright red ladybug!" Lily said, pointing to a tiny dot on a leaf. "It has spots on its back. Do you like it?"
+
+Milo looked at the ladybug, but he was not interested. He saw something else that caught his eye. It was a mouse, hiding under a bush. Milo crouched low and crept towards the mouse, ready to pounce.
+
+Lily did not see the mouse. She was busy picking some daisies to make a crown. She sang a song as she twisted the stems together. She wanted to show her crown to her mom and dad.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a squeak and a meow. She turned around and saw Milo with a mouse in his mouth. He was proud of his catch and wanted to show it to Lily.

+"Milo, what did you do?" Lily asked, surprised and scared. "That is a mouse! You can't bring a mouse to the house! Mom and dad will be mad!"
+
+Milo did not understand why Lily was upset. He thought he was doing a good thing. He dropped the mouse on the ground and rubbed his head against Lily's leg. He purred and looked at her with big green eyes.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Milo. He did not know any better. She also felt sorry for the mouse. It was still alive, but it was scared and hurt. She decided to help the mouse.
+
+She picked up the mouse gently and put it in a shoebox. She made some holes in the lid and put some water and cheese inside. She hoped the mouse would feel better soon.
+
+She also hugged Milo and told him he was a good cat, but he should not bring mice to the house. She explained that mice were not toys, but living things that felt pain and fear. She asked him to promise not to catch any more mice.
+
+Milo nodded and licked Lily's face. He did not really understand, but he wanted to make Lily happy. He loved Lily and Lily loved him. They were best friends.

+
+They packed their bags and went to the airport. They had to wait in a long line to check their bags. Lily's bag was very heavy. It had all her favorite toys and books and clothes. She did not want to leave them behind. She held her bag tight and dragged it along.
+
+Then they had to wait in another line to go through a gate. They had to put their shoes and coats and bags in a big machine. Lily did not like the machine. It made a loud noise and took her bag away. She was afraid it would lose her bag. She cried and clung to her mom.
+
+Mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. The machine is just checking our bags to make sure they are safe. We will get them back soon. It's okay to be nervous, but we have to follow the rules."
+
+They got their bags back and went to find their plane. But when they got to the gate, they saw a sign that said, "Delay". Dad asked a lady what that meant. She said, "It means the plane is not ready to leave yet. There is a problem with the engine. We don't know how long it will take to fix it. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
+
+Lily did not understand what the lady said. She only understood that they had to wait some more. She was tired of waiting. She wanted to fly on the plane and see the clouds and the birds and the stars. She wanted to get to Grandma's house and play with her cousins. She was bored and hungry and cranky.
+
+She said, "Mom, Dad, when are we going to fly? I don't like this delay. I don't like this weight. I don't like this airport. I want to go now!"
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and said, "We know, honey. We want to go too. But sometimes things happen that we can't control. We have to be patient and calm and brave. We will fly soon, we promise. And then we will have a lot of fun. We love you, Lily."

+
+"War is not a game?" the big boy says. "What is war?"
+
+"War is when people hurt each other and break things," the teacher says. "War is very bad. War makes people sad and angry. War is not fun."
+
+The big boy thinks. He does not want to hurt Lila and Tom. He does not want to break the toys. He does not want to be sad and angry. He wants to be fun.
+
+"I'm sorry," the big boy says. "I was wrong. I don't want to fight. I don't want to play war. I want to play with you."

+"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. The tree is very high." Ben says.
+
+They climb the tree. They see many birds and squirrels. They feel happy. They find a pink ribbon on a branch. It is shiny and pretty.

+
+"Let's go up the tree, Ben. It looks fun," she said.
+
+Ben was scared. He did not like high things. He shook his head.
+
+"No, Lily. The tree is too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves," he said.
+
+Lily did not listen. She ran to the tree and started to climb. She was not careful. She slipped and fell. She landed on the ground with a loud thud. She cried out in pain.
+

+Lily was not okay. She was in a lot of pain. She was angry at Ben. She thought he pushed her. She did not remember that she slipped.

+"Go away, Ben! You pushed me! You are mean! You are not my friend!" she yelled.
+
+Ben was hurt. He did not push her. He tried to help her. He was her friend. He did not understand why she was mad at him.
+
+"Lily, I did not push you. I was here. You climbed by yourself. I am your friend. I want to help you," he said.
+
+Lily did not believe him. She did not want to talk to him. She wanted him to leave. She wanted her mom.
+
+"Leave me alone, Ben! Go away! I want my mom! Mom, mom, mom!" she cried.
+
+Ben felt sad. He did not want to leave her. He wanted to make her feel better. He wanted to be her friend. But she did not want him. He did not know what to do.

+Lily was a princess who liked to play all day. She had many toys and dresses and books, but she was not happy. She wanted to have a friend who could play with her and talk to her.
+
+One day, her mother, the queen, came to her room. She saw Lily sitting on the floor with a sad face. She asked, "What is wrong, my dear? Why are you not smiling?"
+
+Lily looked up and said, "I am lonely, mother. I have no one to play with. All the other children are too far away or too busy or too scared of me."
+
+The queen hugged Lily and said, "I am sorry, my dear. I know how you feel. When I was a princess, I also felt lonely sometimes. But I have an idea. Why don't you try to make friends with the animals in the garden? They are very friendly and fun, and they can keep you company."
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "Do you think they will like me, mother? Do you think they will play with me?"
+
+The queen smiled and said, "Of course they will, my dear. They are very kind and gentle, and they love to play. I recommend you to go and see them. Maybe you will find a special friend among them."

+Lily felt curious and excited. She said, "Thank you, mother. I will go and see them. Maybe I will find a friend who likes to play as much as I do."
+
+She kissed her mother and ran to the garden. There she saw many animals: birds, rabbits, squirrels, butterflies, and more. She greeted them and asked them to play with her.

She laughed and sang and danced with the animals. She felt happy and loved.
+
+After a while, she felt tired. She said, "Thank you, my friends. You are very nice and fun. I had a great time with you. But I am tired now. I need to go back to my room and rest."
+
+The animals said, "You are welcome, princess. You are very sweet and fun. We had a great time with you too. But we are tired too. We need to go back to our homes and rest."
+
+They hugged and kissed Lily and said goodbye. Lily went back to her room and lay down on her bed. She smiled and said, "I am not lonely anymore. I have friends who play with me and talk to me. I am happy."
+
+She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of playing with the animals again. She was a happy princess.

+
+Tim's mom smiles. She says, "That is very nice of Jen. She is a good friend. And you are a good friend too. Let me clean your knee and put a band-aid on it."
+
+She cleans Tim's knee and puts a band-aid on it. She says, "There. All better. How do you feel?"

+
+"Yes, really!" Sara says. "You are our friend now. We will not leave you in the pipe."
+
+Sara and Tom crawl out of the pipe. They take the cat with them. The cat is happy. It has a new home and new friends. It purrs and cuddles with Sara and Tom. They are happy too. They have a new pet. They name the cat Pip.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their toys. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. One day, they found a new toy in the closet. It was a big black box with a red button and a long wire. It had a small round thing at the end of the wire.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a record," Ben said.
+
+"A record? What is a record?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Maybe it is something that makes sounds. Let's try it," Ben said. He pressed the red button and spoke into the small round thing. "Hello, hello, this is Ben. Can you hear me?"
+
+Then he let go of the button and pressed it again. He heard his own voice coming out of the box. "Hello, hello, this is Ben. Can you hear me?"
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They thought it was funny to hear their voices. They took turns to press the button and say different things. They said their names, their favorite colors, their favorite animals and their favorite songs.
+
+They played with the record for a long time. They did not notice that their mom came into the room. She smiled and watched them.
+
+"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" she asked.
+
+"We are playing with the record," Lily said.
+
+"The record? That is not a record. That is a tape recorder. It is a toy that can record and play back sounds. Do you like it?" mom explained.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were confused. They did not know what a tape recorder was. They did not know what record and play back meant.
+
+They looked at the box and the wire and the small round thing. They did not understand how it worked.
+
+They looked at mom and shrugged.
+
+"We like it. It is fun," they said.
+
+Mom nodded and hugged them.
+
+"I'm glad you like it. It was my toy when I was a little girl. You can keep it and play with it as much as you want. But be careful not to break it or lose it. And don't forget to put it away when you are done," she said.
+
+"Okay, mom. Thank you, mom," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They gave mom a kiss and went back to playing with the tape recorder. They decided to call it the record anyway. They liked that name better. They thought it was a magic toy that could make their voices sound funny.
+
+They did not notice that mom took a picture of them with her phone. She wanted to record the moment and share it with dad. She thought they were adorable.
+Mia and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+Then they saw a dog. The dog was brown and white. He looked sad and cold. He had no collar and no home. He shivered in the snow.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Mia said. "He needs help. Can we take him home?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Mom might not like it. He is a rare dog. Maybe someone is looking for him."
+
+But Mia felt sorry for the dog. She went to him and petted him. He wagged his tail and licked her face. He was friendly and sweet.
+
+"Please, Ben," Mia said. "Let's take him home. We can give him food and water and a warm bed. He can be our friend. Mom will love him too."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He liked the dog too. He nodded and smiled.
+
+"Okay," he said. "Let's take him home. But we have to ask Mom first. Come on, dog. Follow us."
+
+They took the dog by the hand and walked to their house. The dog followed them happily. He stopped shivering and started barking. He was glad to have Mia and Ben. They were his new family.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide. It looks fun!" Sara says.
+
+"No, Sara, I don't want to. It is too high and too fast. I might fall and hurt myself." Ben says.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She has a plan. She says, "How about we go on the slide together? I will hold your hand and we will go slowly. Then you will see that it is not scary at all."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He trusts Sara. He says, "Okay, Sara, let's try. But you have to promise to hold my hand and not let go."
+
+Sara nods and smiles. She says, "I promise, Ben. Come on, let's go."
+
+They climb up the stairs and sit on the slide. Sara holds Ben's hand tightly. They slide down slowly and safely. Ben feels a rush of joy and excitement. He laughs and says, "Wow, Sara, that was fun! I did it! I went on the slide!"
+
+Sara laughs and says, "See, Ben, I told you it was not scary. You are brave and strong. I am proud of you."
+
+They hug and run back to the stairs. They go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sometimes we are afraid of trying new things, but with the help of a friend, we can overcome our fears and have fun.

+
+"Sure, I like to play. What do you like to play?" Ben said.
+
+Lily and Max told him about their favorite games. They liked to swing, slide, run, and hide. Ben liked those games too. They decided to play hide and seek.
+
+Lily was the seeker. She counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Max and Ben. She saw Max hiding behind a tree. She ran over and tagged him.
+
+"Got you, Max!" she said.
+
+Max came out of his hiding spot. He grinned and said, "Good job, Lily. Now let's find Ben."
+
+They looked for Ben everywhere. They checked under the bench, behind the bushes, and in the sandbox. But they could not find him.
+
+"Where is he?" Lily said.
+
+"I don't know. He is very good at hiding," Max said.
+
+They used their brains to think of where he could be. They remembered that he had curly hair and big eyes. They looked for those clues.
+
+Then, Lily saw something on the swing. It was a curly hair sticking out of a hat. She pointed and said, "Look, Max. I think I found him."
+
+They ran over to the swing. They lifted the hat and saw Ben's big eyes. He laughed and said, "You found me. You are very smart."
+
+Lily and Max laughed too. They said, "You are very clever. You had a good hiding spot."
+
+They put the hat back on Ben's head. They hugged him and said, "You are our new friend. We like you."
+
+Ben hugged them back and said, "You are my new friends too. I like you."
+
+They settled on the swing and talked. They had a lot of fun. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Rose. Rose had a pretty dress and long hair. Lily loved to brush her hair and make her dance.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought Rose with her. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She asked her mom if she could borrow her hat. Her mom said yes and gave her the hat. Lily put the hat on Rose and held her tight.
+
+Lily climbed up the slide and got ready to go down. But then she saw a big wolf. The wolf was hungry and saw Rose. He thought she was a real girl. He ran to the slide and tried to grab her. Lily was scared and screamed.
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to the slide. She saw the wolf and shouted. She threw a stick at the wolf and hit him on the nose. The wolf yelped and ran away. Lily was safe and hugged her mom.
+
+Lily was happy that her mom saved her and Rose. She said sorry for borrowing her hat. Her mom said it was okay and kissed her. She said she was brave and smart. Lily smiled and thanked her. She said she loved her and Rose. They went home and played with the dolls.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara found a big pan and put it on the stove. She said, "I will lead the cooking today. You can help me, Ben."
+
+Ben nodded and looked for something to put in the pan. He saw a banana on the table and grabbed it. He peeled it and broke it into pieces. He said, "Here, Sara, I have a banana for the pan. It will be sweet and soft."
+
+Sara smiled and took the banana from Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. That is a good idea. I have some eggs and milk for the pan too. We can make a banana omelet. It will be fluffy and tasty."
+
+She cracked the eggs and poured the milk into a bowl. She whisked them with a fork and poured them into the pan. She added the banana pieces and stirred them with a spoon. She said, "Now we have to wait for the omelet to cook. We have to be careful not to burn it."
+
+She turned on the stove and watched the pan. The omelet started to bubble and sizzle. Sara and Ben smelled the banana and the eggs. They said, "Mmm, it smells good. We are hungry. We want to eat it."
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom coming home. She opened the door and saw Sara and Ben in the kitchen. She saw the pan on the stove and the mess on the table. She said, "Oh no, what are you doing? You should not play with the stove. It is dangerous. You could get hurt."
+
+She ran to the stove and turned it off. She lifted the pan and saw the omelet. It was pale and soggy. She said, "This is not a yummy food. This is a bad food. You wasted the eggs and the milk and the banana. You have to throw it away."
+
+She threw the omelet in the trash and put the pan in the sink. She said, "You have to clean up this mess. And you have to say sorry. And you have to promise me you will not play with the stove again."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a yummy food for you. We did not know it was dangerous. We promise we will not play with the stove again."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you, Sara and Ben. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. The stove is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only. You can help me cook when I am here. But you have to be safe and careful."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and said, "We love you, mom. We will listen to you and follow the rules. We will be safe and careful."
+
+They helped mom clean up the kitchen and then they had some bread and jam for their snack. They learned their lesson and they never played with the stove again.
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They also saw a big butterfly with many colors on its wings. Lily and Ben wanted to catch the butterfly and play with it.
+
+"Look, a butterfly!" Lily said. "It is so pretty! Can I have it?"
+
+"No, I want it!" Ben said. "It is so cool! Let me have it!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran after the butterfly, but they could not catch it. The butterfly flew away from them, over the grass and the pond. Lily and Ben got tired and sad.
+
+"Mom, can you help us catch the butterfly?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, sweeties, but the butterfly is not ours to catch. It belongs to nature. We can only look at it and enjoy it, but we cannot keep it." Mom said.
+
+"But we want to play with it!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe you can play with something else. Look, there is a boy with a ball over there. Maybe he will lend you his ball if you ask him nicely." Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the boy with the ball. He was kicking the ball by himself. He looked lonely.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Lily asked the boy.
+
+"I am Sam." The boy said.
+
+"Can we play with you and your ball?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. I will lend you my ball if you want. Do you want to play catch or soccer?" Sam asked.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked Sam. He was nice.
+
+"Let's play catch!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, let's play catch!" Sam said.
+
+They took turns throwing and catching the ball. They had fun. They forgot about the butterfly. They made a new friend.
+One day, a boy named Tom was playing in his room with his toys. He liked to pretend that he was a king and that his toys were his friends and enemies. He had a crown, a sword, and a cape that he wore to look like a king.
+
+He was having fun, until his sister Lily came into his room. She wanted to play with him, but she did not like his toys. She said they were boring and old. She grabbed his crown and put it on her head. She said, "I am the queen and you are my servant. Do what I say!"
+
+Tom was angry. He did not want to be a servant. He wanted to be a king. He tried to take his crown back, but Lily was stronger. She pushed him away and laughed. She said, "You are a silly boy. You can't be a king. You are too small and weak."
+
+Tom felt sad and mad. He wished he had a real friend who would play with him and like his toys. He looked at his sword and had an idea. He said, "You are not a queen. You are a bad witch. And I am a brave king. I will fight you and save my kingdom."
+
+He picked up his sword and ran towards Lily. Lily was surprised and scared. She dropped the crown and ran away. She said, "Stop! Don't hurt me! You are crazy!"
+
+Tom chased her out of his room and slammed the door. He put his crown back on his head and smiled. He said, "I am the king and this is my castle. No one can take it from me."
+
+He looked at his toys and saw something new. It was a teddy bear that he had never seen before. It was brown and soft and had a bow tie. It looked very interesting. Tom wondered where it came from. He walked towards it and said, "Hello, who are you?"
+
+The teddy bear moved and spoke. It said, "Hello, I am Ted. I am your new friend. I came to play with you. I like your toys and your crown. You are a very good king."
+
+Tom was amazed and happy. He said, "Wow, you can talk and move. You are a magic bear. You are the best friend ever. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The teddy bear nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Let's play together. We can have lots of fun."
+
+Tom hugged the teddy bear and said, "Thank you for coming. You are a wonderful gift. You made my day."
+
+The end.
+Anna loves to watch cartoons on TV. She likes the funny animals and the songs they sing. She has a favorite cartoon that she watches every day. It is about a brave dog who helps his friends.
+
+One day, Anna's mom tells her that they have to go to the store. Anna does not want to go. She wants to watch her cartoon. She says, "No, Mom, I want to watch the dog!"
+
+Mom says, "We have to go, Anna. We need to buy some food and some clothes. You can watch your cartoon later. Come on, let's go."
+
+Anna is sad. She does not like the store. It is boring and noisy. She has to sit in the cart and wait for Mom. She cannot see the TV. She misses the dog.
+
+Mom sees that Anna is sad. She says, "I know you love your cartoon, Anna. But sometimes we have to do other things. How about this? When we get home, we can watch your cartoon together. And I will make you some popcorn. Would you like that?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes popcorn. She likes Mom. She says, "OK, Mom. But can we hurry?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, we can hurry. But first, can I have a hug?"
+
+Anna nods. She gives Mom a big hug. She says, "I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom hugs her back. She says, "I love you too, Anna. You are a successful girl. You can do hard things."
+
+Anna feels better. She thinks, "Maybe the store is not so bad. Maybe I can have fun with Mom. And I can still watch my cartoon later. I am a successful girl."
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. They want to have it all for themselves.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a big number on it. It is a present for their birthday. They are very happy. They want to see what is inside.
+
+They open the box together. They see a big teddy bear. It is soft and brown. It has a red bow on its neck. It is very cute.
+
+Ben and Mia both want the teddy bear. They grab it with their hands. They pull it hard. They do not want to share.
+
+They start to scream. They scream loud and angry. They say, "It is mine! Give it to me!"
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to the living room. They see Ben and Mia fighting over the teddy bear. They are not happy. They say, "Stop it! You are twins. You should share and be nice to each other."
+
+They take the teddy bear from them. They say, "This is not your only present. There is another box in the closet. It has the same number on it. It is for both of you. Go and see what is inside."
+
+Ben and Mia feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We were envious. We did not know there was another present."
+
+They hug Mom and Dad. They say, "We love you. Thank you for the presents."
+
+They go to the closet. They open the other box. They see another big teddy bear. It is soft and white. It has a blue bow on its neck. It is very cute.
+
+Ben and Mia are very happy. They smile and hug their teddy bears. They say, "Wow! We have two teddy bears. They are twins, like us. We can share and play with them together."
+
+They are not envious anymore. They are glad. They have a happy birthday.
+One day, a sailor came to the beach with his boat. He wanted to sail on the water and have fun. He saw a boy and a girl playing with a fragile toy boat. The toy boat was made of paper and it had a red flag.
+
+The sailor said to the boy and the girl, "Can I watch your toy boat? It is very pretty and I like boats."
+
+The boy and the girl said, "Yes, you can watch our toy boat, but be careful. It is fragile and it can break easily."
+
+The sailor nodded and took the toy boat in his hands. He looked at it and smiled. He said, "This is a very nice toy boat. How did you make it?"
+
+The boy and the girl said, "We made it with paper and glue and a stick and a flag. We followed the instructions in a book. It was hard but we did it together."
+
+The sailor said, "That is very good. You are very clever and you work well together. Can I try to sail your toy boat on the water?"
+
+The boy and the girl said, "No, you cannot sail our toy boat on the water. It is fragile and it will get wet and tear. It is only for playing on the sand."
+
+The sailor said, "But I am a sailor and I know how to sail boats. I will be gentle and I will not let your toy boat get wet or tear. Please, let me try."
+
+The boy and the girl said, "No, we do not want to let you try. It is our toy boat and we love it. We do not want to lose it or break it. Please, give it back to us."
+
+The sailor did not listen to the boy and the girl. He was stubborn and he wanted to sail the toy boat on the water. He said, "I will only sail it for a little while and then I will give it back to you. Do not worry, nothing will happen to it."
+
+He ran to the water and threw the toy boat into the waves. He laughed and said, "Look, how fast and how far it goes!"
+
+The boy and the girl cried and shouted, "Stop, stop, you are hurting our toy boat! Give it back to us, please!"
+
+But the sailor did not hear them. He was too busy watching the toy boat. He did not see that the water was rough and the wind was strong. He did not see that the toy boat was fragile and it could not stand the force of the waves and the wind. He did not see that the toy boat was getting wet and tearing. He did not see that the toy boat was sinking and disappearing.
+
+When he realized what had happened, he was very sorry and very ashamed. He said, "Oh, no, what have I done? I have ruined your toy boat. I have been very bad and very foolish. I should have listened to you and respected your wishes. I am very sorry, please, forgive me."
+
+The boy and the girl were very sad and very angry. They said, "You have been very bad and very foolish. You have not listened to us and respected our wishes. You have ruined our toy boat. We do not forgive you. Go away and leave us alone."
+
+The sailor went away and left them alone. He felt very sad and very lonely. He wished he had been more kind and more careful. He wished he had not been so stubborn and so selfish. He learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that he should not take things that do not belong to him and that he should not do things that can hurt others. He learned that he should listen to others and respect their wishes. He learned that he should be more kind and more careful.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not take things that do not belong to you and do not do things that can hurt others. Listen to others and respect their wishes. Be kind and careful.
+Lily and Tom were friends who lived on the same street. The street was dirty and had many cars and noises. Lily and Tom liked to play in the park, where there were swings and slides and flowers.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their moms. They had fun on the swings and the slides, and they saw a bird and a squirrel. They also found a big cardboard box near a trash can. They decided to make it their house.
+
+They dragged the box to a quiet spot under a tree. They used sticks and leaves and rocks to decorate it. They made a door and a window and a roof. They pretended to be a family and had tea and cookies inside the box.
+
+"Hello, dear," Lily said to Tom. "How was your day at work?"
+
+"It was good, honey," Tom said. "I fixed many things and made money. How about you?"
+
+"I cooked and cleaned and read a book," Lily said. "And I took care of our baby."
+
+They hugged their teddy bear, which was their baby. They were happy and cozy in their box.
+
+Soon, it was time to go home. Their moms called them and said they had to leave the park. Lily and Tom did not want to go. They liked their house and their baby.
+
+"Can we stay here, please?" Lily asked her mom.
+
+"Sorry, sweetie, but we have to go," her mom said. "You can come back tomorrow and play again."
+
+Lily and Tom looked sad. They said goodbye to their house and their baby. They put the teddy bear inside the box and covered it with a leaf. They hoped no one would take it.
+
+They held hands and walked to their moms. They said goodbye to each other and went to their cars. They looked back at the park and their house. They smiled and waved.
+
+They knew they would come back and settle in their house again. They were friends who lived on the same street. The street was dirty, but their house was nice.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys in his bedroom. He had a big teddy bear, a red car, a blue ball and a yellow book. He was happy when he played with his toys, but he was scared when it was dark.
+
+One night, he heard a loud noise outside his window. He did not know what it was. He thought it was a monster or a ghost. He trembled under his blanket and closed his eyes. He wanted his mommy and daddy to come and make him feel safe.
+
+But then he remembered what his wise grandma told him. She said that there were no monsters or ghosts, only sounds that he did not know. She said that he could be brave and look for the sounds and find out what they were. She said that he would see that they were not scary at all.
+
+Tom took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He got out of his blanket and walked to his window. He looked outside and saw a big truck. It was making the loud noise. It was not a monster or a ghost, it was a truck. Tom smiled and felt silly. He was not scared anymore.
+
+He went back to his bed and hugged his teddy bear. He said good night to his toys and turned off his lamp. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of driving the big truck with his grandma. He was happy and brave.
+Sara and Lily are friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Sara sees a shiny bracelet on Lily's wrist. She wants to have it.
+
+"Can I take your bracelet?" Sara asks Lily.
+
+"No, it is mine. My mom gave it to me. It is very pretty," Lily says.
+
+"Please, let me take it. Just for a little while. I will give it back," Sara begs.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes Sara, but she also likes her bracelet. She does not want to lose it or break it.
+
+"Okay, you can take it. But you have to be very careful and patient. You can only wear it for five minutes. Then you have to give it back to me," Lily says.
+
+Sara is happy. She takes the bracelet and puts it on her wrist. She feels like a princess. She shows it to her dolls and pretends they are her friends.
+
+Lily watches Sara. She hopes Sara will remember her promise. She counts the minutes in her head. One, two, three, four, five.
+
+"Time is up. Give me back my bracelet," Lily says.
+
+Sara does not want to give it back. She likes the bracelet too much. She tries to hide it behind her back.
+
+"No, I want to keep it. It is mine now," Sara says.
+
+Lily is angry. She tries to grab the bracelet from Sara. Sara pulls away. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout.
+
+"Stop it! Stop it!" their mom says. She hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the bracelet on Sara's wrist and Lily's tears.
+
+"What is going on here? Sara, why do you have Lily's bracelet?" their mom asks.
+
+Sara does not answer. She feels ashamed. She knows she did something bad.
+
+Lily tells their mom what happened. She says Sara took her bracelet and did not want to give it back.
+
+Their mom is disappointed. She looks at Sara.
+
+"Sara, you know that is not nice. You have to share and respect your friends. You have to give back what is not yours. How would you feel if Lily took something from you?" their mom says.
+
+Sara thinks about it. She remembers her favorite teddy bear. She loves it very much. She would be very sad if Lily took it from her.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I am sorry, mom. I was wrong. Here is your bracelet. It is very pretty, but it is yours. I should have asked you first," Sara says.
+
+She gives the bracelet back to Lily. Lily smiles and hugs her.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. I forgive you. You are still my friend. Do you want to play with me?" Lily says.
+
+Sara nods and hugs her back.
+
+"Yes, I do. You are still my friend too. Can we play with your dolls?" Sara says.
+
+Their mom smiles and nods.
+
+"Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and patient with each other. And you have to ask before you take something. Do you understand?" their mom says.
+
+Sara and Lily say yes. They go to play with their dolls. They share and respect each other. They have fun. They are happy.
+Anna likes to play with her toys in the bathtub. She has a duck, a fish, a boat and a frog. She makes them swim and splash in the water. She pretends the frog is a prince and the duck is a princess.
+
+One day, she hears a knock on the bathroom door. It is her brother Tom. He says, "Anna, can I help you wash your hair? Mom is busy in the kitchen."
+
+Anna says, "No, thank you. I can do it by myself. Go away, Tom."
+
+Tom says, "Please, Anna. I want to play with you. Let me in."
+
+Anna says, "No, Tom. You are too big for the bathtub. You will make a mess. Go play with your own toys."
+
+Tom says, "Fine, Anna. I will find another way to play with you." He goes away, but he has a plan.
+
+He sneaks into Anna's room and takes her favorite teddy bear. He hides it under his bed. He thinks, "Now Anna will miss her teddy bear and come to play with me."
+
+But Anna does not notice that her teddy bear is gone. She is too busy playing with her toys in the bathtub. She sings a song and makes bubbles with her soap.
+
+When she is done, she wraps herself in a towel and goes to her room. She looks for her teddy bear, but she cannot find it. She thinks, "Where is my teddy bear? I want to hug him and go to sleep."
+
+She searches her room, but she cannot see her teddy bear. She thinks, "Maybe Tom took him. He likes to play tricks on me."
+
+She goes to Tom's room and knocks on his door. She says, "Tom, did you take my teddy bear? Give him back to me. He is mine."
+
+Tom says, "No, Anna. I did not take your teddy bear. Why would I do that? He is too small and soft for me. I like big and hard toys."
+
+Anna says, "Don't lie to me, Tom. I know you did. You always do. Where is he? Tell me."
+
+Tom says, "OK, OK. I did take your teddy bear. But I only wanted to play with you. You never let me in the bathtub. You are always alone. I was lonely."
+
+Anna says, "That is not a good reason, Tom. You should not take my things without asking. You should not hide them from me. That is not nice. That is mean."
+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I won't do it again. Please forgive me. Here is your teddy bear. He is under my bed."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, ask me first. Maybe we can play together sometimes. But not in the bathtub. That is too small for you. Maybe in the garden. We can play with the ball or the bike."
+
+Tom says, "OK, Anna. That sounds fun. I like the ball and the bike. Maybe tomorrow we can play in the garden. But now, let's go to sleep. Good night, Anna."
+
+Anna says, "Good night, Tom. I love you."
+
+She hugs her teddy bear and goes to her room. She is happy to have him back. She is also happy to have a brother who wants to play with her. She thinks, "Maybe Tom is not so bad after all. He just needs some help to be nice."
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the landscape. The landscape had hills, trees, flowers and animals. Sometimes they saw a deer or a rabbit. They were very happy.
+
+One day, they found a big bow in the grass. It was shiny and had a string. Lily picked it up and said, "Look, Tom, a bow! I can shoot arrows with it!"
+
+Tom was curious. He said, "How do you shoot arrows, Lily? Where are the arrows?"
+
+Lily was intelligent. She said, "We can make arrows from sticks and feathers. Come on, let's find some!"
+
+They searched for sticks and feathers in the landscape. They found some and tied them together. They made four arrows. They were proud of their work.
+
+They took turns to shoot the arrows with the bow. They aimed at the trees and the flowers. They had fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry. It had seen them shoot the arrows. It thought they were trying to hurt it.
+
+The bear ran towards them. It was fast and strong. Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the bow and the arrows and ran away.
+
+They ran to their house. They slammed the door and locked it. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+The bear reached the house. It scratched the door and growled. It wanted to get in.
+
+But then, it saw the bow and the arrows in the grass. It sniffed them and realized they were not real. They were just toys.
+
+The bear felt silly. It had been scared of toys. It felt sorry for Lily and Tom. It wanted to say sorry.
+
+It picked up the bow and the arrows and walked to the door. It knocked gently and said, "Roar, roar, sorry, roar, roar, friends, roar, roar, bow, roar, roar."
+
+Lily and Tom heard the knock and the roar. They were curious. They peeked through the window and saw the bear. It was holding the bow and the arrows. It was smiling.
+
+They realized the bear was not mean. It was just confused. It wanted to be friends.
+
+They opened the door and said, "Hello, bear, we are sorry, too. We did not mean to scare you. We were just playing. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bear nodded and said, "Roar, roar, yes, roar, roar, play, roar, roar, thank you, roar, roar."
+
+They gave the bear the bow and the arrows. They taught the bear how to shoot them. They aimed at the sky and the clouds. They had fun.
+
+They became friends. They played together and looked at the landscape. The landscape had hills, trees, flowers, animals and a bow. They were very happy.
+Tim and Lily were kids who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Some cars were cheap and some cars were expensive. Tim liked the expensive cars more. He thought they were faster and nicer.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily were playing with their cars on the floor. Tim had a red expensive car and Lily had a blue cheap car. They made the cars go zoom and beep. They had fun. But then, Tim saw that Lily's car was going to the same place as his car. He did not want to share. He wanted to have the place for his car only.
+
+"Move your car, Lily!" Tim said. "My car is better and it needs more space!"
+
+"No, Tim!" Lily said. "Your car is not better and it does not need more space! My car is good too and it has the right to go there!"
+
+Tim and Lily argued. They did not yield. They made their cars go faster and faster. They wanted to win. They did not care about the other. They were angry and rude.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Their cars crashed. They made a loud noise and broke into pieces. Tim and Lily were shocked and sad. They looked at their cars. They were not zooming and beeping anymore. They were ruined.
+
+Tim and Lily cried. They wished they had yielded. They wished they had shared. They wished they had been nice. They learned a lesson. Expensive cars are not more important than cheap cars. And cars are not more important than kids.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. Worms were slimy and wiggly and fun to touch.
+
+"Look, I found a big worm!" Tom said, holding up a brown worm in his hand. "It is longer than my finger!"
+
+"Wow, that is a big worm!" Sue said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Tom nodded and gave the worm to Sue. Sue held the worm gently and smiled. She liked the worm.
+
+But then, a big bird flew down from the sky. It saw the worm in Sue's hand and wanted to eat it. It swooped down and snatched the worm from Sue's hand. Sue screamed and let go of the worm. The bird flew away with the worm in its beak.
+
+Sue started to cry. She was sad and scared. She had lost the worm.
+
+Tom felt bad. He had given the worm to Sue and now it was gone. He was ashamed. He had not protected the worm.
+
+He hugged Sue and said, "I'm sorry, Sue. I'm sorry I gave you the worm. I should have kept it safe."
+
+Sue stopped crying and hugged Tom back. She said, "It's okay, Tom. It's not your fault. The bird was hungry and fast. We can search for another worm."

+Tom and Sue wiped their tears and smiled. They learned that worms are not toys. They are living things that need to be respected and cared for. They decided to search for worms and watch them, but not to touch them or take them away from their home. They also learned to be kind and brave and help each other when they are sad or scared. They were good friends.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"Wait for me!" Ben says. He follows Sara, but he is slower. He is not good at climbing.
+
+Sara reaches the top of the slide. She looks down and sees a lot of grass and flowers. She also sees a shiny thing. It is a coin. She thinks it is lucky. She picks it up and puts it in her pocket.
+
+"Look what I found!" Sara says to Ben, who is still on the ladder. "It is a lucky coin!"
+
+"Wow!" Ben says. "Can I see it?"
+
+Sara nods. She slides down the slide and lands on the ground. She shows Ben the coin. It is silver and has a picture of a bird on it.
+
+"That is cool!" Ben says. He touches the coin with his finger.
+
+"Can I have it?" he asks.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She likes the coin, but she likes Ben more. She is a good friend.
+
+"OK," she says. "You can have it. But you have to share it with me."
+
+Ben smiles. He is happy. He puts the coin in his pocket.
+
+"Thank you, Sara!" he says. "You are the best!"
+
+They hug and laugh. They are lucky to have each other. They run to the swings and play some more. They do not part from each other's sight. They are having fun.
+Tom and Anna were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big sandbox. They put on their hats, shoes and coats and got in the car.
+
+But when they got to the road, they saw a lot of cars and trucks. They were not moving. They were stuck. Mom said, "Oh no, there is a traffic jam. We have to wait until the road is clear."
+
+Tom and Anna did not like waiting. They wanted to play in the park. They started to whine and kick the seats. Mom said, "Please be quiet and calm. We will get there soon. Look, you have some toys and books in the back. Why don't you play with them?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked at the back. It was messy. There were toys and books everywhere. Some were broken, some were dirty, some were missing parts. They did not want to play with them. They said, "No, we don't like these toys and books. They are messy. We want to go to the park."
+
+Mom sighed. She was tired and frustrated. She wished the road was clear. She wished Tom and Anna were happy. She said, "I'm sorry, kids. I know you are bored and angry. But we have to be patient and polite. Sometimes things don't go as we plan. Sometimes we have to deal with problems. Sometimes we have to make the best of what we have."
+
+Tom and Anna looked at mom. They saw her sad face. They felt sorry for her. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you. We will try to be good. We will try to play with the toys and books. We will try to have fun."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them and said, "Thank you, kids. I love you too. You are very sweet and smart. I'm proud of you. We will get to the park soon. And when we do, we will have a lot of fun."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a big box from their grandma. Inside the box, there were two presents, one for each of them. Lily opened her present and saw a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. She was very happy and hugged her doll. Max opened his present and saw a toy car with shiny wheels and a loud horn. He was also happy and made his car zoom around the floor.
+
+But soon, Lily and Max started to look at each other's toys. Lily thought Max's car was more fun than her doll. She wanted to play with it and make it go fast and beep. Max thought Lily's doll was prettier than his car. He wanted to play with it and comb its hair and dress it up. They both felt jealous of each other and wanted to swap their toys.
+
+"Can I have your car, please?" Lily asked Max.
+
+"No, it's mine. Can I have your doll, please?" Max asked Lily.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have your own toy," Lily said.
+
+They both got angry and started to pull each other's toys. They did not share or say sorry. They made a big mess and a lot of noise.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the twins fighting over their toys and the box and the wrapping paper all over the floor. She was not happy and told them to stop.
+
+"Lily and Max, you should be grateful for your gifts and not be jealous of each other. You should play nicely and share your toys. Grandma sent them to you because she loves you both. How do you think she would feel if she saw you like this?" she said.
+
+Lily and Max felt ashamed and realized they were wrong. They let go of their toys and hugged each other. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They decided to play together with both their toys and have fun. They also cleaned up the mess and put the box and the wrapping paper in the trash. They thanked their mom and their grandma for their gifts and told them they loved them too. They learned to be happy with what they had and not be jealous of what they did not have.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the garden, where there were many flowers. Lily's favorite flower was the sunflower. It was big and yellow, and it looked like the sun.
+
+One day, Lily and Max found a sunflower that was different. It was brown, not yellow. It had no petals, only seeds. Lily was sad. She thought the sunflower was sick.
+
+"Look, Max," she said. "This sunflower is not happy. It has no color. It has no smile."
+
+Max looked at the sunflower. He had an idea. He ran to the house and came back with a radio. He turned it on and played some music.
+
+"Let's dance, Lily," he said. "Maybe the sunflower will dance with us."
+
+Lily and Max started to dance. They moved their arms and legs. They spun and jumped. They laughed and sang. The sunflower watched them. It felt something. It felt warm. It felt happy.
+
+The sunflower started to dance too. It shook its seeds. It nodded its head. It made a sound. It sounded like a thank you.
+
+Lily and Max heard the sunflower. They stopped dancing. They looked at the sunflower. They saw a change. The sunflower had some color. It had some petals. It had a smile.
+
+"Wow, Max," Lily said. "The sunflower is happy. It has color. It has a smile. We made it dance."
+
+Max smiled. He hugged Lily. He hugged the sunflower.
+
+"Yes, Lily," he said. "We made it dance. We are its friends."
+Ben and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park. It had swings and slides and a big pond with ducks. Mom said they had to hurry, because it was getting late. She helped them put on their coats and shoes.
+
+"Come on, kids, get in the car," Mom said. "Don't forget to buckle your seat belts."
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the car and climbed in. Ben was in a hurry. He wanted to get to the park fast. He did not buckle his seat belt. He just sat on it and pretended he did. Lily saw him and said, "Ben, you have to buckle your seat belt. It is not safe."
+
+"Shh, Lily, don't tell Mom," Ben said. "I don't like the buckle. It is tight and itchy. I will be fine."
+
+Mom got in the car and started to drive. She did not see that Ben did not buckle his seat belt. She drove on the road and turned a corner. Suddenly, a big truck came from the other side. It was going too fast. It hit the car. The car spun and crashed. Mom and Lily were hurt, but they were still in their seats. Ben was not. He flew out of the window and hit the ground. He was very hurt. He could not move or talk.
+
+Mom and Lily cried and called for help. The truck driver stopped and got out. He was sorry. He said he did not see the car. He called the ambulance. The ambulance came and took Mom, Lily and Ben to the hospital. Mom and Lily had some cuts and bruises, but they would be okay. Ben had a broken arm, a broken leg and a big bump on his head. He had to stay in the hospital for a long time. He was very sad and scared.
+
+The moral of the story is: Always buckle your seat belt. It can save your life.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toys in the garden. They have a big pool, a slide, a ball and many cars and dolls. One day, it rains a lot and the garden becomes a flood. The water is very high and covers the pool, the slide, the ball and some of the toys.
+
+"Oh no, our toys are in the flood!" Anna says. "We have to save them!"
+
+Tom and Anna put on their boots and coats and go outside. They are careful not to slip or fall in the water. They try to reach the pool, but it is too far and too deep.
+
+"We need a boat!" Tom says. "I have an idea. Let's use the big box from the garage. We can make a boat with it."
+
+Tom and Anna run to the garage and find the big box. They also find some tape, some rope and some sticks. They work hard to make a boat with the box. They tape the box to make it strong. They tie the rope to the box to make a handle. They stick the sticks to the box to make oars.
+
+"Let's test our boat!" Tom says. "Maybe we can save our toys with it."
+
+Tom and Anna drag the boat to the garden. They put the boat in the water and hold the rope. They use the oars to paddle the boat. The boat floats and moves in the water.
+
+"Yay, it works!" Anna says. "Look, there is the pool. And the slide. And the ball. And some of the toys. Let's get them!"
+
+Tom and Anna paddle the boat to the pool. They reach out and grab the pool. They pull it to the boat and put it inside. They do the same with the slide, the ball and some of the toys. They are happy to see their toys again.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. The box breaks and the water comes in. The boat sinks and the toys fall out.
+
+"Oh no, our boat is broken!" Tom says. "We have to swim!"
+
+Tom and Anna drop the rope and the oars. They swim to the shore. They are wet and cold and sad. They look at the flood and see their toys floating away.
+
+"Bye bye, toys!" Anna says. "We are sorry we couldn't save you!"
+
+Tom and Anna hug each other and go inside. They take off their boots and coats and dry themselves. They drink some hot chocolate and eat some cookies. They are still sad, but they are also proud.
+
+"We tried our best," Tom says. "We made a boat and we tested it. We are brave and smart."
+
+"Yes, we are," Anna says. "And we still have some toys left. Maybe we can play with them tomorrow. When the flood is gone."
+
+"Maybe," Tom says. "But I hope it doesn't rain again."
+Lily and Max were enthusiastic to play with their new toy cars. They zoomed them around the living room, making loud noises and pretending to be racers. They did not care about the mess they made with their books, pillows and crayons.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a ramp with this book!" Max said, as he lifted a big book from the shelf and placed it on the floor.
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Max! Let me try!" Lily said, as she grabbed another book and put it next to Max's.
+
+They took turns to launch their cars from the ramps, watching them fly in the air and land on the couch, the table or the floor. They laughed and cheered every time their cars did a flip or a spin.
+
+But then, Mom came into the living room and saw the chaos. She was not happy. She frowned and said in a stern voice, "Lily and Max, what are you doing? You have destroyed the living room! This is not how you treat your books and your toys! And look at the crayon marks on the wall! You have to clean up this mess right now!"
+
+Lily and Max stopped playing and looked at Mom with guilty faces. They knew they had done something bad. They did not want to make Mom angry or sad. They said in a small voice, "We're sorry, Mom. We were just having fun with our cars. We didn't mean to destroy the living room."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I know you like your cars, but you have to be careful and respectful with your things and your home. You have to put your books back on the shelf, your pillows on the couch, your crayons in the box and your cars in the basket. And you have to help me wipe the wall with a cloth. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will help you clean up."
+
+They got up from the floor and started to pick up their things. They felt sorry for making Mom upset and for destroying their home. They decided to play with their cars outside next time, where they could be more enthusiastic without making a mess.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they also liked to explore. They saw a big rock near the trees. It was gray and rough and had a hole in it.
+
+"Let's go see the rock!" Lila said.
+
+"OK!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the rock and looked inside the hole. It was dark and deep and mysterious. They wondered what was in there.
+
+"Maybe there is a treasure!" Lila said.
+
+"Or a monster!" Ben said.
+
+They were both curious and scared. They decided to peek inside the hole. They bent down and put their eyes close to the hole. They saw something shiny and colorful.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asked.
+
+"It looks like a bow!" Ben said.
+
+They reached inside the hole and pulled out a bow. It was made of wood and string and had feathers and beads on it. It was very pretty and old.
+
+"Wow! It is a bow!" Lila said.
+
+"Maybe someone left it here long ago!" Ben said.
+
+They felt happy and proud. They had found a mysterious bow in the rock. They wondered who made it and why. They decided to keep it and play with it.
+
+"Let's pretend we are hunters!" Lila said.
+
+"OK! Let's hunt for rabbits and squirrels!" Ben said.
+
+They took turns holding the bow and aiming at the animals. They had fun and laughed. They felt like they had a secret adventure. They loved the rock and the bow.
+Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to play outside with the animals and the plants.
+
+One day, they go to the wheat field with their dad. The wheat is tall and yellow. It makes a soft sound when the wind blows. Tom and Sue run and jump in the wheat. They pretend they are lions and rabbits. They have fun.
+
+But soon they feel tired and hungry. They tell their dad they want to go back to the house. Their dad says, "Okay, let's go. But first, let's pick some wheat for mom. She can make bread and cookies with it."
+
+Tom and Sue help their dad pick some wheat. They put it in a big basket. They carry the basket to the house. They are proud of their work.
+
+When they get to the house, they smell something good. Mom has made soup and bread for lunch. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat and drink and talk. They tell mom about their adventure in the wheat field.
+
+After lunch, mom says, "You two have been very good and helpful today. Why don't you take a nap in your room? You can rest and dream."
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They are full and happy. They go to their room. They snuggle in their beds. They feel warm and cozy. They close their eyes. They nap.
+Lily and Max are playing with their stuff in the yard. They have cars, dolls, balls and blocks. They are having fun and making noises.
+
+But then Max wants to play with Lily's pink car. He says, "Give me that car. It is mine."
+
+Lily says, "No, it is not. It is mine. You have your own car. It is blue."
+
+Max says, "I don't like blue. I like pink. Pink is better. Give it to me now."
+
+Lily says, "No, no, no. Go away. You are mean."
+
+They start to pull the car from each other. They are angry and loud. They do not share.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the yard. She sees them fighting over the car. She says, "Stop it, both of you. You are not nice. You have to share your stuff. Sharing is good. Fighting is bad."
+
+Lily and Max look at Mom. They feel bad. They let go of the car. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Max."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay. I know you both like the car. But you have to take turns. You can play with it for a little while, and then give it to the other. That is fair. That is kind."
+
+Lily and Max nod. They agree. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They say, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Max."
+
+They play with the car and their other stuff. They share and smile. They are happy and quiet.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a snowman and a snow fort. They throw snowballs at each other. They have fun.
+
+But then Lily sees a bird. The bird is brown and small. It is on the ground. It does not move. Lily is sad. She thinks the bird is cold and hurt. She wants to help the bird.
+
+She runs to the bird. She takes off her mitten. She puts the mitten on the bird. She says, "Don't be scared, bird. I will save you. You can be warm in my mitten."
+
+Tom sees Lily. He runs to her. He says, "What are you doing, Lily? Why did you take off your mitten? Your hand will be cold."
+
+Lily says, "I am saving the bird, Tom. The bird is cold and hurt. It needs my mitten. You can have my other mitten. We can share."
+
+Tom says, "OK, Lily. You are very kind. I will share your mitten. But we have to go home soon. Mom will be worried. Maybe we can take the bird home too. Maybe Mom can help the bird."
+
+Lily says, "Yes, Tom. Let's go home. Let's take the bird. Maybe the bird will be happy. Maybe the bird will be our friend."
+
+They hold hands. They hold the mitten with the bird. They walk home. They smile. They are happy.
+Ben was very enthusiastic about his birthday. He wanted to open his presents and eat cake and play with his friends. He woke up early and ran to the living room, where he saw a big pile of colorful boxes and bags. He clapped his hands and shouted, "Yay!"
+
+But no one answered him. The house was very quiet. Ben looked around and saw that his mom and dad and sister were still sleeping. He felt sad and lonely. He wanted to share his joy with them. He wondered why they did not wake up for his special day.
+
+He decided to wait for them. He sat on the couch and looked at his presents. He did not open them. He wanted to open them with his family. He tried to be patient, but it was hard. He felt bored and restless. He wished he had someone to talk to. He did not like the silence.
+
+He looked at the clock and saw that it was almost nine. He thought that maybe his family had forgotten his birthday. He felt angry and hurt. He wanted to cry, but he did not. He was a big boy now. He decided to open his presents by himself. He did not care anymore.
+
+He grabbed the first box and ripped off the paper. He opened it and saw a toy car. He liked cars, but he did not smile. He opened the second box and saw a book. He liked books, but he did not laugh. He opened the third box and saw a teddy bear. He liked teddy bears, but he did not hug it. He opened the fourth box and saw a card. He opened it and read it. It said, "Happy birthday, Ben! We love you so much! Surprise!"
+
+He looked up and saw his mom and dad and sister standing in the doorway. They were smiling and holding balloons and a cake. They sang, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Ben, happy birthday to you!"
+
+Ben was very surprised and happy. He jumped off the couch and ran to them. He hugged them and thanked them. He said, "I thought you forgot me. I was so sad and lonely. I did not like the silence."
+
+They said, "We did not forget you, Ben. We wanted to surprise you. We were hiding in the other room. We heard you shout, 'Yay!' and we were so proud of you. You were so enthusiastic and patient. We love you, Ben."
+
+They gave him more presents and kisses and hugs. They ate cake and played games and had fun. Ben was very happy. He said, "This is the best birthday ever. I love you, too." He did not mind the silence anymore. He liked the noise.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the sand. They make castles and holes and bridges. They have a lot of fun. But sometimes they fight. They want the same toys or the same spot.
+
+One day, they are playing near the water. The sun is hot and bright. They are thirsty and tired. Tom sees a shiny shell. He wants it for his castle. He runs to get it. But Sue sees it too. She wants it for her hole. She runs faster than Tom.
+
+They reach the shell at the same time. They both grab it. They pull and tug. They yell and cry.
+
+"Stop! It's mine!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sue says.
+
+They don't see the big wave coming. It is deep and strong. It hits them hard. It takes them and the shell away. They can't swim. They can't breathe. They can't call for help.
+
+The sun keeps shining. The sand keeps playing. But Tom and Sue are gone.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were lions, roaring and chasing each other. Tom was the big lion and Lily was the little lion. They had a lot of fun.
+
+"Let's go inside and eat," Tom said. "I'm hungry."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "Maybe Mom made steak for us. I love steak. It's yummy and juicy."
+
+They ran inside and saw Mom in the kitchen. She had a big plate of food on the table. But it was not steak. It was gray and mushy.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"It's oatmeal," Mom said. "It's good for you. It has vitamins and fiber."
+
+Tom and Lily made a face. They did not like oatmeal. It was bland and sticky.
+
+"Can we have steak instead?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, sweetie, we don't have any steak today," Mom said. "Maybe another day. You have to eat what I made for you. It will make you strong and healthy."
+
+Tom and Lily did not believe Mom. They thought oatmeal would make them weak and sick. They did not want to eat it. They wanted to be lions, not sheep.
+
+They looked at each other and had an idea. They whispered in each other's ears. Then they smiled.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will eat the oatmeal," Tom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, you are the best," Lily said.
+
+They took their spoons and scooped up some oatmeal. But instead of putting it in their mouths, they threw it at each other. They laughed and screamed. They made a big mess.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Mom said. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We are lions, Mom, not sheep," Tom said. "Lions don't eat oatmeal. They eat steak."
+
+"And oatmeal is not good for us. It's gray and mushy," Lily said. "Steak is yummy and juicy."
+
+Mom was not happy. She was angry and tired. She had to clean up the mess and make something else for them. She wished she had some steak. Or some lions.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to play with the animals and help with the chores. But sometimes they fight and make a mess.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben want to bake a cake for their mom's birthday. They go to the kitchen and find some eggs, flour, sugar, and butter. They mix everything in a big bowl and pour it into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and wait.
+
+But they forget to set the timer. They go outside and start to play with the dog. They run and jump and laugh. They do not hear the oven beep.
+
+The cake burns and smells terrible. The smoke fills the kitchen and sets off the alarm. Mom and dad hear the noise and run to the kitchen. They see the black cake and the dirty bowl. They are angry and sad.
+
+"Sara and Ben, what did you do?" mom asks. "You spoiled the cake and made a big mess. You could have started a fire. That was very dangerous and naughty."
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Sara and Ben say. "We wanted to make you a cake for your birthday. We love you."
+
+Mom and dad hug Sara and Ben. They are still angry and sad, but they love them too. They say, "We love you too, but you have to be careful and listen. Baking a cake is not a game. You have to follow the rules and clean up after yourself. Now you have to help us fix the kitchen and make a new cake."
+
+Sara and Ben nod and say, "OK, mom and dad. We will help you. We will be good and not fight. We will not spoil anything again."
+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to splash in the water, but not too deep. They were afraid of the big waves that came and went.
+
+One day, they saw something unusual in the water. It was a big fish with a long tail and a shiny skin. It was a dolphin. The dolphin was jumping and spinning in the air. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They wanted to see the dolphin closer.
+
+"Let's go and say hello to the dolphin!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful of the waves!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the water and waved at the dolphin. The dolphin saw them and came closer. It made a funny noise, like a whistle. Lily and Ben laughed. They thought the dolphin was friendly.
+
+But then, a big wave came and pushed them back. Lily and Ben lost their balance and fell into the water. They felt the salt in their eyes and mouths. They were scared and cold. They cried for help.
+
+The dolphin heard them and swam to them. It lifted them up with its tail and brought them to the shore. Lily and Ben were safe. They were wet and shivering, but they were happy. They thanked the dolphin and hugged it.
+
+The dolphin smiled and whistled. It waved goodbye with its tail and swam away. Lily and Ben watched it go. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful of the waves, and to be kind to the animals. They also learned that the dolphin was a very unusual and special friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and share toys. One day, Anna has a new doll. She loves her doll. She gives her doll a name. She calls her doll Lily.
+
+Ben sees Anna's doll. He wants to play with it. He asks Anna, "Can I play with your doll?"
+
+Anna says, "No, this is my doll. You have your own toys."
+
+Ben feels sad. He thinks Anna is not nice. He says, "You are not a good friend. You are mean."
+
+Anna feels angry. She says, "You are not a good friend. You are rude."
+
+They stop talking. They turn away from each other.
+
+Mom sees Anna and Ben. She knows they are not happy. She asks them, "What is wrong?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "I understand. You both like the doll. But you can't have everything you want. Sometimes you have to share. Sharing is caring. Sharing makes you happy. Sharing makes your friends happy. Do you want to be happy?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They want to be happy. They want to be friends.
+
+Mom says, "Why don't you take turns playing with the doll? You can mail the doll to each other. You can use this box and this paper. You can write your names and draw pictures. You can put the doll in the box and give it to your friend. You can say, 'This is for you. I hope you like it.' Then you can wait for your friend to mail the doll back to you. You can say, 'Thank you. You are sweet.' How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben think it sounds fun. They agree to try it. They mail the doll to each other. They say nice words. They smile. They hug. They play.
+
+Mom is happy. She says, "You are good friends. You are kind. You are smart. I am proud of you."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "We are sorry. We are sorry we fought. We are happy we shared. We are happy we mailed. We are happy we have each other."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Sharing is caring. Sharing makes you happy and your friends happy.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toy car, but one day, the battery ran out. She went to her mommy and said, "Mommy, my car needs new battery. Please help me." 
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. Let's go to the store and get a new one." 
+
+At the store, Lily saw a boy who looked sad. She asked him, "Why are you sad?" 
+
+The boy said, "I lost my toy car and I can't find it." 
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea. Let's look for your car together." 
+
+The boy smiled and said, "That's very thoughtful of you, Lily. Thank you." 
+
+They searched and searched until they found the boy's car. Lily was happy to have helped her new friend.
+Once upon a time, there was a cute little girl named Lily. She loved playing basketball with her friends in the park. One day, she found a basketball in a basket near the court. 
+
+Lily picked up the basketball and started playing with it. Suddenly, a boy came up to her and said, "That's my basketball. Please give it back to me." 
+
+Lily didn't want to leave the basketball, but she knew it was the right thing to do. So, she gave it back to the boy and said, "I found it in the basket, but it's yours. I'm sorry for taking it." 
+
+The boy was very happy and thanked Lily for being honest. Lily felt good about doing the right thing and learned that it's important to always be truthful and kind to others.
+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy who was very hungry. He wanted to eat his meal but it was on a high shelf. He couldn't reach it by himself.
+

+
+"Oh, no, Tom!" she said, picking him up. "You poor thing! You should never touch the stove. It's very dangerous. Come on, let's put some ice on it."
+
+She carried him to the bathroom and got some ice from the freezer. She wrapped it in a cloth and put it on his hand. It felt cold and nice.
+
+"There, there," she said, kissing his cheek. "It will be okay. You're very brave."

+Tom smiled a little. He felt better. He hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."

+
+"Yuck!" Ben says. He drops the lid and falls off the chair. He hurts his arm.
+
+"Are you okay?" Anna asks. She helps him get up.
+
+"I am okay, but I do not want to eat that food. It is ugly and gross. Who made it?" Ben says.
+
+They hear a voice from the living room. It is their dad.
+
+"I made it. It is my special soup. It is very good for you. It will fill your tummy and make you strong. Come and try some," their dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not want to try the soup. They think it is nasty and scary. They run to their room and hide under the bed. They hope their dad will not find them.

+
+Tom drops the lemon and whimpers. He feels the pain and the blood. He is sorry.
+

+
+Lila was tempted. She wanted to hear the story. She wanted to learn more. She thought maybe the oyster was nice. She decided to trust the oyster. She put her hand inside the book, and felt something hard and cold.
+
+"Good girl," said the oyster. "Now I will tell you my story. My story is this: I am hungry, and you are my food."

+
+One day, they saw a bright rainbow in the sky after a big storm. They wanted to go and see if there was a pot of gold at the end of it, like in the stories.

+
+Tom and Lily were sad and bored. They looked around the hut and saw some old clothes, some pots and pans, and some sticks and stones. They had an idea.

+Sara and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to build things with wood and nails. Sara had a hammer and Tom had a saw. They were making a house for their dolls.
+
+"Look, Sara, I cut this wood for the roof," Tom said. He showed Sara a long piece of wood. "It is very tall. We can make a big house."
+
+Sara smiled. She took the wood and put it on top of the other pieces. She took a nail and tried to hammer it in. But the nail was too hard and the hammer was too heavy. She hit her finger instead of the nail.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cried. She dropped the hammer and the nail. She held her finger and tears came out of her eyes. It hurt a lot.
+
+Tom heard Sara cry and ran to her. He saw her finger was red and swollen. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara, are you okay?" Tom asked. He hugged Sara and gave her a kiss on her finger. "It will get better soon. Do you want a band-aid?"
+
+Sara nodded. She sniffed and wiped her tears. She was glad Tom was nice to her. She gave him a hug back.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, you are a good friend," Sara said. "Can we still play with the house?"
+
+Tom smiled. He picked up the hammer and the nail. He handed them to Sara.
+
+"Of course we can, Sara. Here, you can try again. I will help you. We can make the best house ever."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big lion. She liked to make him roar and pretend he was the king of the jungle. She also liked to hide him in her closet and surprise her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her lion in her room. She heard her mom call her for lunch. She decided to put her lion in her closet and go downstairs. She thought it would be fun to make him roar when she came back.
+
+But when she opened the closet door, she saw something that made her scream. There was a pale boy in her closet, holding her lion. He had a mean face and a dirty shirt. He looked at her and said, "This is my lion now. Go away."
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She wanted her lion back. She said, "No, that's my lion. You can't have him. Give him to me." She tried to grab her lion, but the boy pushed her away. He said, "No, he's mine. I found him in the trash. You don't deserve him. You have too many toys."
+
+Lily felt sad and hurt. She didn't understand why the boy was so mean. She ran out of her room and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll get your lion back. Let's go talk to the boy."
+
+They went back to Lily's room and saw the boy still in the closet. He looked scared and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take your lion. I don't have any toys. I live in the street. I just wanted to play with him for a while."
+
+Lily felt sorry for the boy. She realized he was lonely and poor. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. You can play with my lion, but you have to share. And you can't hide in my closet. That's not nice."
+
+The boy nodded and said, "Thank you. You're very kind. Can I be your friend?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to promise to be nice and honest. And you have to come with me and my mom. We'll help you find a better place to live."
+
+The boy agreed and hugged Lily and her mom. They all went downstairs and had lunch together. Lily learned that the boy's name was Sam and that he had run away from a bad home. She also learned that sharing and caring are more important than having many toys. She was happy to have a new friend and a new lion.
+One day, Ben and his mom went to the zoo. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Ben liked the animals, but he wanted to see something big and blue. He asked his mom, "Where are the whales?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "The whales are not at the zoo, Ben. They live in the sea. We can go to the aquarium and see them there."
+
+Ben was happy and said, "Yes, let's go to the aquarium!"
+
+They took a bus to the aquarium and bought tickets. They walked inside and saw many fish, starfish, and turtles. They were colorful and shiny. Ben liked the fish, but he still wanted to see the whales.
+
+He asked his mom, "Where are the whales, mom?"
+
+Mom pointed to a big glass wall and said, "Look, Ben, there are the whales!"
+
+Ben ran to the glass wall and saw two big whales. They were blue and gray, and they had fins and tails. They swam in the water and made noises. Ben was amazed and said, "Wow, they are so big and beautiful!"
+
+One of the whales came close to the glass wall and looked at Ben. Ben waved his hand and said, "Hello, whale!"
+
+The whale opened its mouth and made a loud sound. Ben thought it was saying hello back. He smiled and said, "Do you like the aquarium, whale?"
+
+The whale made another sound and nodded its head. Ben thought it was saying yes. He said, "I like the aquarium, too. It is fun to see you and the fish."
+
+The whale smiled and splashed some water. Ben laughed and said, "You are funny, whale!"
+
+Mom watched Ben and the whale talk. She was happy and said, "Ben, you made a new friend!"
+
+Ben looked at his mom and said, "Yes, mom, I did. The whale is my friend. Can we come back and see him again?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Of course, Ben. We can come back and see the whale anytime you want."
+
+Ben hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love the whale."
+
+Mom hugged Ben and said, "I love you, too, Ben. And I'm sure the whale loves you, too."
+
+The whale heard them and made a happy sound. He waved his fin and said goodbye. Ben waved back and said, "Goodbye, whale. See you soon!"

+
+"Can we go on the slide?" Mia asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. They run to the slide. They wait for their turn. Then they climb up the ladder.
+
+"Are you ready?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, I am ready!" Mia says. They sit on the slide. They hold each other's hand. They slide down very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream.

+They see a bench. They sit on the bench. They are tired. They feel their legs. They are sore.
+
+"Ow, my legs hurt!" Tom says.
+
+"Me too!" Mia says.
+
+They have an idea. They grab each other's legs. They give each other a massage. They rub and squeeze. They make each other feel better.
+
+"Ah, that feels good!" Tom says.

+"Yes, it does!" Mia says.
+
+They smile. They are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to go on the slide. They like to give each other a massage. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They had a big box of toys and a radio. They liked to listen to songs and make noise with their toys.
+
+"Let's count our toys," said Ben. "I have more than you."
+
+"No, you don't," said Lily. "I have more. You count yours and I count mine."
+
+Ben and Lily started to count their toys. They put them in piles on the floor. One, two, three, four, five...
+
+But then, the radio stopped playing songs. It made a loud beep. Ben and Lily looked at the radio. It had a red light.
+
+"What's that?" asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know," said Lily. "Maybe it's broken."
+
+They went to the radio and tried to make it play songs again. They pushed the buttons and turned the knobs. But nothing happened. The radio only made beeps.
+
+"Stop it!" said a voice from the radio. "You are making me angry. I am not a toy. I am a radio. Leave me alone."
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the radio and ran to the door. They wanted to find their mom and dad.
+
+"Who was that?" asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know," said Ben. "Maybe it was a bad radio. Maybe it was impatient. It didn't like us counting our toys."
+
+They opened the door and saw their mom and dad in the hall. They hugged them and told them what happened.
+
+Their mom and dad smiled. They picked up the radio and showed them something.
+
+"Look," said their dad. "This is not a bad radio. This is a walkie-talkie. It can talk to another walkie-talkie. Like this one."
+
+He held another walkie-talkie in his hand. He pressed a button and said, "Hello, this is dad. Can you hear me?"
+
+The radio in their mom's hand made a beep. Then, it said, "Hello, this is mom. I can hear you."
+
+Ben and Lily were amazed. They looked at the walkie-talkies and then at their mom and dad.
+
+"Wow," said Ben. "That's cool. Can we play with them?"
+
+"Sure," said their mom. "But first, say sorry to the radio. It was not impatient. It was just confused. You were talking to our neighbor. He was trying to talk to us."
+
+Ben and Lily said sorry to the radio. Then, they took the walkie-talkies and went back to their room. They forgot about counting their toys. They had more fun talking to each other and to their neighbor. They learned a new word: walkie-talkie.
+Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the zoo with their moms. They see many animals, but they want to see the elephant most of all.
+
+They run to the elephant house. They see a big gray elephant. He has a long nose and big ears. He is eating some hay. Lila and Sam wave at him. The elephant looks at them and makes a loud noise. "Hello, elephant!" Lila and Sam say.
+
+The elephant's keeper comes out. He smiles at Lila and Sam. "Do you want to feed the elephant?" he asks. "Yes, please!" Lila and Sam say. The keeper gives them some carrots and apples. Lila and Sam hold them out to the elephant. The elephant takes them with his nose and eats them. He makes a happy noise. Lila and Sam giggle.
+
+"You are very brave and kind," the keeper says. "The elephant likes you. His name is Raja. He is very reliable. He always does what I ask him to do. He is a good friend." Lila and Sam nod. They think Raja is a good friend too. They enjoy feeding him and petting him.
+
+They thank the keeper and say goodbye to Raja. They hug each other and their moms. They had a fun day at the zoo. They learned a lot about animals. They hope to see Raja again soon.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a kayak by the lake. It was big and red and had two paddles. They wanted to try it, but they did not know how.
+
+"Let's go in the kayak," Sara said.
+
+"But we don't have life jackets," Tom said.
+
+"We don't need them. We can swim," Sara said.
+
+She climbed into the kayak and took a paddle. Tom followed her, but he was scared. He held the other paddle tightly.
+
+They pushed the kayak into the water and started to paddle. It was fun at first, but then the water became choppy and the wind blew hard. The kayak rocked and spun and splashed. Sara and Tom screamed and cried.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted.
+
+A man in a boat heard them and came to rescue them. He threw them a rope and pulled them to his boat. He helped them out of the kayak and gave them blankets and cookies.
+
+"Are you okay?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you," Sara and Tom said.
+
+They were wet and cold and sorry. They realized they had been foolish and reckless.
+
+"Can we have our kayak back?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, you can't," the man said. "You have to surrender it. It's not yours. It belongs to the park. You should not have taken it without permission. And you should always wear life jackets when you go on the water. It's very dangerous."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They felt ashamed and grateful. They ate the cookies. They were yummy. They learned their lesson. They never took things that were not theirs again. And they always wore life jackets when they went on the water.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. They had a lot of fun and made new friends.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" Lily shouted, pointing at the sky. "The sun is going to bed!"
+
+Mom smiled and looked at the sky. It was very pretty. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, pink and purple. It looked like a big painting.
+
+"That's right, Lily. That's called a sunset. It's when the sun says goodbye to us and goes to sleep. It's very beautiful, isn't it?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom, it's very beautiful. It makes me happy." Lily said.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Max said, jumping up and down. "Can we take a picture, mom? Can we?"
+
+"Sure, Max. Let's take a picture together. Come here, Lily. Let's smile and say cheese!" Mom said, holding her phone.
+
+They all hugged and smiled. Mom took a picture of them with the sunset behind them. It was a very cute picture. They looked like a happy family.
+
+"Can we see the picture, mom? Can we?" Lily and Max asked.
+
+"Of course, my loves. Here, look." Mom said, showing them the picture on her phone.
+
+They all looked at the picture and smiled again. They liked it very much. They saw their faces and the sunset. They saw how the sun displayed its colors for them. They felt very lucky and grateful.
+
+"Thank you, sun, for the beautiful sunset. Thank you, mom, for the cute picture. We love you!" Lily and Max said.
+

+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen. They had a white blanket that they used as a cape and a crown. They also had a stick that they used as a sword.
+
+"Look, Lily, I am the king of the garden. I can make the flowers grow and the birds sing," Tom said.
+
+"You are a good king, Tom. And I am the queen of the garden. I can make the sun shine and the rain stop," Lily said.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not see the big cloud in the sky. It was dark and grey. It was going to rain soon.
+
+"Tom, Lily, hurry! Come inside, it's going to rain!" their mom called from the door.
+
+Tom and Lily heard their mom. They did not want to get wet. They wanted to keep playing.
+
+"Mom, can we play a little more? We are the king and the queen of the garden," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom, you have to hurry. The rain is coming. You can play again later," their mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They liked to play in the garden. But they also loved their mom. They did not want to make her angry.
+
+"OK, mom, we are coming. But can we take our cape and our crown and our sword with us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, Lily, you can take them. But hurry, the rain is coming," their mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily picked up their cape and their crown and their sword. They ran to the door. They hugged their mom.
+
+"Thank you, mom, for letting us play. We love you," they said.
+
+"I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are my king and my queen," their mom said.
+
+They went inside. They put their cape and their crown and their sword on the couch. They looked out the window. The rain started to fall. They smiled. They were happy. They had a good mom. They had a good game. They were the king and the queen of the garden.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with swords. They had two swords, one big and one little. Tom always wanted the big sword, and Sam always got the little sword. Sam did not like that.
+
+One day, they were playing in the yard, pretending to be knights. Tom said, "I am the king, and you are the dragon. I will finish you with my big sword!" He swung his sword at Sam, who tried to block with his little sword.
+
+"Stop, Tom, you are too rough!" Sam said. "You are hurting me with your big sword. Let me have a turn with it!"
+
+"No, Sam, you are too little. You can only have the little sword. It is fair!" Tom said. He swung his sword again, and hit Sam's arm. Sam cried out in pain.
+
+"Tom, you are mean!" Sam said. He threw his little sword on the ground, and ran to the house. He told their mom what Tom did.
+
+Mom was angry with Tom. She took his big sword away, and gave it to Sam. She said, "Tom, you need to share with your brother. You can only play with the little sword until you say sorry to Sam. And no more hitting!"
+
+Tom felt bad. He realized he was wrong. He went to the house, and found Sam. He said, "Sam, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Can we be friends again? Can we play with the swords together?"
+
+Sam smiled. He said, "Yes, Tom, I forgive you. We can be friends again. We can play with the swords together. But this time, you have the little sword, and I have the big sword. It is fair!"
+
+Tom agreed. He took the little sword, and Sam took the big sword. They went back to the yard, and played nicely. They pretended to be knights, and had fun. They finished their game, and hugged each other. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go on tours with their mom and dad. Today, they are going to see the zoo. They are very excited to see the animals.
+
+When they get to the zoo, they see a big map. Mom points to the different places they can go. "Look, we can see the lions, the monkeys, the elephants, and more!" she says. "What do you want to see first?"
+
+Sara and Ben both shout, "The monkeys!" They love the monkeys. They are lively and funny. They run to the monkey house and watch them swing and play.
+
+"Wow, look at that one!" Ben says. He points to a monkey that is hanging upside down. "He is so silly!"
+
+Sara laughs. She sees a monkey that is holding a banana. "He is hungry!" she says. She wants to give him a banana too.
+

+They enjoy the tour of the zoo. They see many animals and learn new things. They have a lot of fun. They thank mom and dad for taking them. They say they want to come back again. Mom and dad smile. They are happy to see their twins happy.
+Tom and Lily were going to visit their grandma by plane. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books. They were very excited to see grandma and her big garden.
+
+At the airport, they had to wait in a long line to check in their luggage. Tom and Lily were bored and tired. They wanted to play and run around, but their mom and dad said no. They said they had to be quiet and polite.
+
+Tom and Lily saw a big poster of a lion on the wall. The lion looked fierce and strong. It had a big mane and sharp teeth. It was roaring loudly. Tom and Lily liked the lion. They wanted to be like the lion.
+
+They decided to play a game. They pretended to be lions and roared at each other. They roared louder and louder. They roared at the people in the line. They roared at the airport staff. They roared at the security guards.
+
+The people in the line were scared and angry. They told Tom and Lily to stop. The airport staff were annoyed and worried. They told Tom and Lily to calm down. The security guards were stern and serious. They told Tom and Lily to follow them.
+
+Tom and Lily did not listen. They thought it was fun. They roared even more. They ran away from their mom and dad. They ran towards the luggage belt. They jumped on the luggage belt. They rode on the luggage belt.
+
+The luggage belt was fast and bumpy. It took Tom and Lily to a dark and noisy place. It took them to a place where big machines crushed and sorted the luggage. It took them to a place where they could not see their mom and dad. It took them to a place where they could not roar anymore.
+Lily and Ben were playing by the lake. They saw a boat on the water. It was small and white and had a red flag. Lily wanted to touch it. She said to Ben, "Look, a boat! Let's go and see it!"
+
+Ben was scared. He said, "No, Lily, we can't. The boat is too far and the water is deep. And the boat is delicate. It might break if we touch it. Let's stay here and play with our toys."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the edge of the lake and tried to reach the boat. She stretched her arms and leaned forward. She was almost there. She could see the red flag waving.
+
+But then she lost her balance and fell into the water. She screamed and splashed. The water was cold and wet. She could not swim. She was scared and sorry.
+
+Ben heard her scream and ran to help her. He shouted, "Lily, Lily, hold on! I'm coming!" He looked for a stick or a rope to pull her out. But he could not find anything. He was too small and weak. He could only watch and cry.
+
+The boat floated away. The red flag faded. Lily sank. The lake was quiet.
+Tim likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park, where there are many trees and flowers and birds. Tim likes to look at them and point at them. His dad smiles and says their names.
+
+One day, they jog near a big pond. Tim sees some ducks and geese in the water. He wants to go closer and feed them. His dad says no, it is not safe. The ducks and geese might bite or chase him. Tim is angry. He does not listen to his dad. He runs away from him and towards the pond.
+
+His dad calls him and runs after him. He tries to catch him and stop him. But Tim is too fast. He reaches the edge of the pond and throws some bread to the ducks and geese. They come closer and make loud noises. Tim thinks they are happy and friendly. He leans over to touch them.
+
+But he leans too far. He loses his balance and falls into the pond. The water is cold and deep. He is scared and wet. He cries for help. The ducks and geese are not happy and friendly. They are angry and mean. They peck and nip at him. He tries to swim and get out.
+
+His dad hears him and sees him. He is worried and scared. He jumps into the pond and swims to him. He grabs him and pulls him out. He hugs him and checks him. He is glad he is not hurt. He is also angry and sad. He scolds him and tells him he was wrong and foolish. He should have listened to him and stayed away from the pond. He says he loves him and wants him to be safe.
+
+Tim is sorry and ashamed. He says he is sorry and he loves him too. He says he will not do it again. He says he learned his lesson. He says he does not like ducks and geese anymore. He says he likes his dad more. His dad smiles and kisses him. He says he forgives him and he likes him more too. They jog back home, holding hands. They are wet and cold, but they are happy and warm.
+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they saw a new toy car on the shelf. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. They both wanted to play with it.
+
+"Me first!" Ben said. He grabbed the car and ran to the floor.
+
+"No, me first!" Lily said. She chased after him and tried to take the car.
+
+"Stop it!" Ben said. He pushed Lily away and held the car tight.
+
+"Give it to me!" Lily said. She pulled Ben's hair and scratched his arm.
+
+"Ow!" Ben said. He dropped the car and cried.
+
+The car rolled away and hit the table leg. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. The twins stopped fighting and looked at the car. It was not red and shiny anymore. It was thin and cracked and had no wheels.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She saw the broken car and the twins' faces. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Who did this?" she asked.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They wished they had shared the car and played nicely. They regretted fighting over the car.
+
+They said sorry to their mom and to each other. They hugged and said they would not fight again. They learned their lesson. They hoped their mom would buy them a new car someday.
+One day, a little bee was flying in the garden. She saw many flowers and smelled their sweet nectar. She wanted to take some nectar back to her hive, where her family and friends lived. She flew from flower to flower, filling her belly with nectar.
+
+But as she was flying, she saw a big bird. The bird was hungry and wanted to eat the little bee. The bird flew fast and chased the little bee. The little bee was scared and tried to fly away. She flew over the fence, over the road, over the trees, but the bird was still behind her.
+
+She saw a big house with a window. She flew inside the window, hoping to hide from the bird. But inside the house, there was a little girl. The little girl was playing with her toys. She saw the little bee and smiled. She liked bees and knew they were good for the flowers. She was compassionate and wanted to help the little bee.
+
+She gently picked up the little bee and put her in a jar. She poked some holes in the lid so the little bee could breathe. She gave the little bee some water and some honey. She said, "Don't worry, little bee. I will keep you safe until the bird is gone. Then I will let you go back to your hive."
+
+The little bee was grateful and happy. She drank the water and the honey and rested in the jar. She saw the bird fly away, looking for another snack. She saw the little girl smile and wave at her. She said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind and compassionate. You saved my life. I will never forget you."
+
+The little girl opened the jar and let the little bee go. The little bee flew out of the window and back to the garden. She flew to her hive, where her family and friends were waiting for her. She told them what happened and how the little girl helped her. They all cheered and thanked the little girl. They said, "The little girl is our friend. She is compassionate and brave. We will always remember her."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be compassionate and help those in need. You may make a friend for life.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses with sticks and leaves. Tim had a blue car and Lily had a pink doll. They were having fun until a big boy came and took Tim's car.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Tim shouted. He tried to get his car back, but the big boy pushed him away.
+
+"Finders keepers, losers weepers!" the big boy said. He laughed and ran away with the car.
+
+Tim felt sad and angry. He wanted his car back. He looked at Lily and saw that she was holding her doll tightly. She looked scared.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" Tim asked.
+
+Lily nodded, but she felt uncomfortable. She did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. She wished he would go away.
+
+"Tim, I'm sorry he took your car. He is a bully. He should not do that." Lily said.
+
+Tim hugged Lily. He felt better. He was glad he had a friend like Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You remind me of my sister. She is nice and kind too." Tim said.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked Tim. He was fun and brave. She reminded him of her brother. He was funny and smart too.
+
+"Tim, you are a good friend too. You remind me of my brother. He is funny and smart too." Lily said.
+
+They decided to share their toys and play together. They forgot about the big boy and his car. They were happy.
+
+Soon, it was time to go home. They packed their toys and said goodbye.
+
+"Bye, Tim. See you tomorrow. You are welcome to play with me anytime." Lily said.
+
+"Bye, Lily. See you tomorrow. You are welcome to play with me anytime too." Tim said.
+
+They waved and walked away with their parents. They were looking forward to playing again. They were good friends.
+Ben likes to mark with his crayons. He marks on paper, on the wall, on the floor. He makes red marks, blue marks, yellow marks. He is happy when he marks.
+
+One day, Ben finds a new thing to mark on. It is white and soft and big. It is mother's bed. Ben climbs on the bed and starts to mark on the sheet. He makes a big green mark. He smiles.
+
+Mother comes into the room. She sees Ben and the mark. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what did you do? You marked on my bed! That is not good. You have to say sorry and help me clean it."
+
+Ben feels sad. He does not want to make mother unhappy. He says, "Sorry, mother. I like to mark. I did not know it was bad. How can I help you?"
+
+Mother says, "You can help me by taking the sheet to the laundry. It is wet and dirty. We have to wash it and dry it. Then you can mark on your own paper, not on my bed."
+
+Ben nods. He takes the sheet and follows mother to the laundry. He helps her put it in the machine. He watches the water and the soap make bubbles. He says, "Mother, I love you. I will not mark on your bed again."
+
+Mother hugs him. She says, "I love you too, Ben. I know you like to mark. But you have to mark on the right things. Next time, ask me before you mark on something new."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, mother. Can I mark on this paper?"
+
+Mother says, "Yes, you can. But only with these crayons. And not on the wall or the floor."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, mother. Thank you for the paper and the crayons. And for the hug."

+
+They mixed red and yellow and got orange. They mixed blue and yellow and got green. They mixed red and blue and got purple. They were happy with their new colors and painted many pictures.
+
+But then they ran out of white paint. They wanted to make pink and light blue and light green, but they could not. They asked their teacher for more white paint, but she said no. She said they had to use the paints they had and share with the other children.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad and angry. They did not want to share their new colors. They wanted to make more. They were persistent. They looked around the classroom and saw a big jar of glue.

+
+"Please, Ben. It looks so soft and nice. We can make a fort with it," Lily said.
+
+Ben looked around. He did not see anyone near the blanket. He thought it would be fun to play with it.
+
+"Okay, Lily. But we have to be careful. And we have to put it back when we are done," Ben said.

+They did not hear the angry voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my blanket?" the voice shouted.
+
+They turned around and saw a big man with a red face. He looked very mad. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it off the bench. Lily and Ben fell to the ground.

+They started to argue and tug on the hammer. They made a lot of noise.
+
+"Hey, what's going on here?" Dad asked.
+
+"Lily won't share her hammer with me," Tom said.
+
+"Tom wants to take my hammer from me," Lily said.
+
+Dad looked at them and sighed. He had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you both pack another toy that you can share? Then you can play together nicely," Dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom thought about it. They agreed to pack another toy. Lily packed her doll and Tom packed his car. They put them in their bags.
+
+"Thank you, Dad. We will share our toys," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Good. Now let's go to grandma's. She is waiting for us," Dad said.
+
+They grabbed their bags and followed Dad to the car. They were happy to go to grandma's. They hoped she had cookies for them.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the pond with their moms. They see ducks and fish in the water. They want to feed them.
+
+"Look, I have bread for the ducks!" Lily says. She breaks the bread into small pieces and throws them into the pond. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it.
+
+"I have seeds for the fish!" Ben says. He opens a bag of seeds and pours some into his hand. He sprinkles them into the pond. The fish come to the surface and nibble the seeds.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They watch the ducks and the fish. They see that the ducks and the fish are different. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's sort the toys!" Lily says. She takes out a box of toys from her backpack. She has cars, dolls, balls, and blocks.
+
+"OK!" Ben says. He takes out a basket of toys from his bag. He has animals, trains, books, and puzzles.
+
+They sit on the grass and start to sort the toys. They make two piles: one for toys that fit in the pond, and one for toys that do not fit in the pond.
+
+They put the animals, the fish, the ducks, and the boats in the pile that fits in the pond. They put the cars, the dolls, the balls, the blocks, the trains, the books, and the puzzles in the pile that does not fit in the pond.
+
+They are proud of their work. They show their moms their piles.
+
+"Look, we sorted the toys!" Lily says.
+
+"Good job!" Ben says.
+
+Their moms smile and clap. They say, "You are very smart and creative! You know how to sort things by where they belong!"
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug their moms and each other. They decide to play with the toys that fit in the pond. They have fun. They love the pond and their toys.
+Lily liked to whistle. She whistled all the time, even when she was not supposed to. She whistled in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She whistled when she ate, when she played, and when she read. She whistled so much that her mom and dad got mad.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide and whistled as loud as she could. She did not see the boy who was already on the slide. He was scared of the noise and slipped off the slide. He fell on the ground and cried.
+
+Lily's mom ran to the boy and helped him up. She asked him if he was okay and said sorry. She looked at Lily and said, "Lily, you need to stop whistling so much. You scared the boy and made him fall. You should be more careful and quiet."
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to scare the boy or make him fall. She wanted to have fun and make music. She did not know whistling could hurt someone. She said sorry to the boy and to her mom. She wished she did not whistle so much.
+
+Lily learned a lesson. She still liked to whistle, but she did not whistle all the time. She whistled when it was okay, like when she was alone or with her friends. She did not whistle when it was not okay, like when she was with other people or on the slide. She did not want to scare anyone or make them fall again. She did not want to regret whistling ever again.
+Lily was an adventurous frog who liked to hop around the pond. She wanted to see new things and make new friends. One day, she saw a big bird with a long neck and a sharp beak. She wondered what it was and decided to hop closer.
+
+The bird was a crane who was looking for fish to eat. He saw Lily hopping and thought she looked tasty. He stretched his neck and opened his beak to catch her. Lily was scared and hopped away as fast as she could.
+
+She hopped to a log where she saw another frog. He was green and had spots like her. He said his name was Max and he was also adventurous. He asked her what she was running from and she told him about the crane. He said he knew a safe place where they could hide and play.
+
+He took her to a lily pad where there were many flowers and bugs. They hopped and ate and laughed together. They became good friends and had fun. They forgot about the crane and enjoyed the pond. Lily was happy and glad she met Max. She learned that being adventurous can be scary but also exciting.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big bird on a tree. The bird had bright colors and a long tail. It made a loud sound like a whistle.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and noisy. I wish I could whistle like that."
+
+"I wish I could fly like that," Mia said. "It must be fun to see everything from the sky."
+
+They were very curious about the bird. They wanted to get closer and see it better. They walked slowly and quietly towards the tree. They hoped the bird would not fly away.
+
+"Hello, bird," Ben said softly. "We are your friends. Can you teach us how to whistle?"
+
+The bird looked at them with its shiny eyes. It tilted its head and whistled again. It sounded like a question.
+
+"Hello, kids," the bird said. "You can whistle too. You just need to blow air through your lips. Like this."
+
+The bird showed them how to whistle. Ben and Mia tried to copy it. They blew air through their lips, but they only made funny noises.
+
+"Like this, like this," the bird said. "Try again. You can do it."
+
+Ben and Mia tried again and again. They practiced hard. After a while, they could make some whistling sounds. They were very happy and proud.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Ben said. "Thank you, bird. You are a good teacher."
+
+"You are welcome, kids. You are good learners," the bird said. "Now you can whistle with me. It is more fun to whistle together."
+
+Ben and Mia whistled with the bird. They made a beautiful music. They forgot about their wishes. They were happy with what they had. They had each other and a new friend.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make a big building with blocks. They are happy.
+
+But then a big boy comes. He is mean. He kicks the building. The blocks fall down. Lily and Tom are sad.
+
+"Go away!" Lily says to the big boy. "You are bad!"
+
+The big boy laughs. He picks up a block. He sends it at Lily. It hits her arm. It hurts. Lily cries.
+
+Tom is angry. He picks up a block. He sends it at the big boy. It hits his head. It hurts. The big boy cries.
+
+A teacher comes. She is pale. She sees the blocks and the crying children. She is not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Tom tell her. The big boy is quiet. He is scared.
+
+The teacher helps Lily and Tom. She gives them a hug and a band-aid. She tells them they are brave.
+
+The teacher takes the big boy. She tells him he is naughty. She sends him to the office. He is sorry.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the forest near their house. One day, they see a big pine tree with many cones. They want to find some cones to take home.
+
+"Look, Sara, there is a big pine!" Ben says. "Let's go and find some cones!"
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful. The pine has sharp needles. Don't hurt yourself." Sara says.
+
+They run to the pine and look for cones. They see some on the ground and some on the branches. They pick up some from the ground and put them in their pockets. They also try to reach some from the branches, but they are too high.
+
+"Ben, I have an idea. You are very intelligent. You can make a ladder with some sticks. Then we can climb up and get more cones." Sara says.
+
+"That's a good idea, Sara. You are also very intelligent. Let me find some sticks." Ben says.
+
+He looks around and finds some sticks. He puts them together and makes a ladder. He leans it against the pine and climbs up. He picks some cones and throws them down to Sara. Sara catches them and puts them in her pockets.
+
+They are very happy. They have many cones. They thank the pine and go back to their house. They show their cones to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad are very proud of them. They say they are very intelligent and brave. They hug them and give them some cookies. Sara and Ben smile and eat their cookies. They love their mom and dad. They love the pine. They love the forest. They love each other.
+Anna and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They liked to see the animals, but they were not allowed to touch them. Mom said the animals could bite or scratch them.
+
+They saw a big lion in a cage. He had yellow fur and a brown mane. He looked sad and bored. He did not roar or play. He just lay on the ground and sighed.
+
+Anna felt sorry for the lion. She wanted to make him happy. She saw a red ball near the cage. She thought the lion might like to play with it. She ran to the ball and picked it up.
+
+"Anna, come back!" Mom shouted. "Don't go near the cage!"
+
+But Anna did not listen. She threw the ball over the fence and into the cage. The ball bounced and rolled near the lion. The lion lifted his head and looked at the ball. He got up and walked to it.
+
+"Look, Ben, he likes it!" Anna said. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+The lion sniffed the ball and pawed at it. He made a soft sound that sounded like a purr. He seemed happier.
+
+Anna wanted to play more with the lion. She reached her hand through the fence and waved at him. She hoped he would come closer and lick her fingers.
+
+"Anna, no!" Mom screamed. She ran to Anna and pulled her away from the fence. "That's very dangerous! The lion could hurt you!"
+
+Anna did not understand. She thought the lion was her friend. She cried and kicked her legs. She wanted to go back to the lion.
+
+Mom hugged Anna and tried to calm her down. She explained that the lion was a wild animal and not a pet. She said that the lion might look nice, but he could bite or scratch her. She said that the zoo was not a place to play with the animals, but to watch and learn from them.
+
+Anna stopped crying and nodded. She said she was sorry. She looked at the lion and waved goodbye. The lion looked at her and made the soft sound again. He rolled the ball with his nose.
+
+Anna and Ben left the zoo with their mom. They learned a lot about the animals, but they also learned to be careful and listen to their mom. They hoped the lion would have more fun with his ball.
+Tom and Lily like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep as they drive them on the floor.
+
+One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is big and shiny and red. It has a button on the side that says "reverse". Tom and Lily wonder what it does.
+
+Tom pushes the button and the car starts to move backwards. It goes very fast and makes a loud noise like screech. It bumps into the wall and knocks down a picture. Tom and Lily are scared and surprised.
+
+They hear their mom coming. She is not happy. She sees the mess and the broken picture. She says "Who did this? What happened here?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other. They feel bad. They don't want to make mom angry. They say "We are sorry, mom. We were playing with the new car. We pushed the reverse button and it went crazy. We didn't mean to break the picture."
+
+Mom sees their sad faces. She is not angry anymore. She says "It's okay, my loves. I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be careful with your toys. And you have to clean up the mess. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They say "Yes, mom. We can do that." They pick up the pieces of the picture and the car. They put them in the trash. They wipe the wall with a cloth. They make the room clean again.
+
+Mom sees their work. She is proud of them. She says "Good job, my loves. You are very responsible and helpful. I love you very much." She gives them a hug and a kiss. She shows them a smile. Tom and Lily smile back. They are happy. They love mom too.
+Tim and Liz are playing with their toys in the living room. Tim has a big truck with a red button on the side. Liz has a doll with a fake hat and a fake dress. Tim likes to press the button and make the truck go vroom. Liz likes to pretend that her doll is a princess and talk to her.
+
+"Look at my truck, Liz. It is so fast and loud. Do you want to try the button?" Tim asks.
+
+"No, thank you, Tim. I like my doll better. She is so pretty and nice. Do you want to play with her?" Liz answers.
+
+"No, thank you, Liz. I like my truck better. It is so fun and cool. Let me show you what it can do." Tim says.
+
+Tim presses the button harder and harder. He wants to make the truck go faster and faster. But something bad happens. The button breaks and falls off. The truck stops and makes a sad noise. Tim feels sad and angry. He starts to cry.
+
+"Oh no, Tim. I am sorry. Your truck is broken. Do you want me to help you?" Liz says.
+
+"No, Liz. You can't help me. You have a fake doll. She can't do anything. She is boring and silly. Go away!" Tim shouts.
+
+Liz feels hurt and sad. She loves her doll. She thinks her doll is real and special. She doesn't like Tim's words. She starts to cry too.
+
+Both Tim and Liz are crying and unhappy. They don't want to play with each other anymore. They don't want to share their toys anymore. They don't want to be friends anymore.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the landscape. The landscape has many trees, flowers, hills and animals. Anna and Ben have fun running, jumping, hiding and looking at the animals.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben find a big box. The box is shiny and has a bow on it. Anna and Ben are nosy. They want to see what is inside the box. They think it is a gift for them.
+
+"Let's open the box!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Maybe it is not for us." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben open the box. They see a lot of candy. They are happy. They love candy. They want to eat the candy.
+
+"Wow, look at all the candy! Let's eat some!" Anna says.
+
+"Wait, Anna. Maybe we should not. Maybe the candy is for someone else. Maybe it is a trap." Ben says.
+
+But Anna does not listen. She is greedy. She grabs a handful of candy and puts it in her mouth. She gives some candy to Ben, too.
+
+"Come on, Ben. Don't be scared. It is just candy. It is yummy." Anna says.
+
+Ben is not sure. He is afraid. But he does not want to make Anna sad. He takes a bite of the candy.
+
+But the candy is not yummy. The candy is bad. The candy is poison. Anna and Ben start to feel sick. They start to cough and choke. They fall to the ground. They cannot breathe. They cannot call for help.
+
+The box was not a gift. The box was a trap. Someone put the box there to hurt Anna and Ben. Someone who did not like nosy children.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They wish they did not open the box. They wish they did not eat the candy. They wish they listened to Ben. But it is too late. Anna and Ben are gone.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a pink doll and Ben has a green tank. Ben likes to make loud noises with his tank and pretend to shoot at things.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You are dead, doll!" Ben says, pointing his tank at Lily's doll.
+
+"No, no, no! My doll is not dead, she is sleeping!" Lily says, hugging her doll.
+
+"Yes, she is dead, because my tank is very strong and fast!" Ben says, moving his tank closer to Lily.
+
+Lily does not like Ben's game. She thinks his tank is terrible and mean. She wants to play something else.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! Your tank is not nice, it is bad! I don't want to play with you!" Lily says, pushing his tank away.
+
+Ben is surprised and sad. He likes his tank and he likes to play with Lily. He does not understand why she is angry.
+
+"But Lily, I was just playing! My tank is not bad, it is fun! Why don't you like it?" Ben says, looking at Lily.
+
+Lily looks at Ben and sees that he is not happy. She feels sorry for him. She does not want to hurt his feelings. She thinks maybe his tank is not so terrible after all. She thinks maybe they can play together.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. I was scared of your tank. It seemed very loud and scary. But maybe it is not so bad. Maybe it is just a toy. Can we play something else?" Lily says, smiling at Ben.
+
+Ben smiles back at Lily. He is glad that she is not angry anymore. He likes her doll and he likes her. He thinks maybe they can play something else.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I am sorry too. I did not mean to scare you. My tank is just a toy. It is not loud and scary. It is just fun. Can we play something else?" Ben says, putting his tank aside.
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They are happy again. They decide to play something else. They find a book and a puzzle and sit on the couch. They read and play and laugh. They are good friends. They have fun.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play with his cars and trucks. He has long hair that covers his eyes and ears. His mom says he needs a haircut, but Tom does not want to go. He thinks the scissors are scary and the barber is loud.
+
+One day, his mom has a plan. She brings a toy car with her to the barber shop. She tells Tom that he can play with the car while he gets his haircut. Tom likes the car. It is red and shiny and makes a vroom sound. He agrees to go with his mom.
+
+At the barber shop, Tom sits on a big chair. The barber puts a cape around him and combs his hair. He tells Tom that he will make him look smart and handsome.

+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys in their room, but they were bored of them. They wanted to go outside and see new things.
+
+"Mom, can we go on vacation?" Anna asked one day. "We want to see the beach and the mountains and the animals."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. "I have a surprise for you," she said. "We are going on vacation next week. We will take a plane and visit Grandma and Grandpa. They live near the beach and the mountains and the animals."
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy and excited. They ran to their room and started to pack their bags. They put in their swimsuits, their hats, their books, and their favorite toys.
+
+"Can I take my teddy bear?" Ben asked Anna.
+
+"Of course you can," Anna said. "But don't forget to pack your clever puzzle. You love to solve it with Grandpa. He always mentions how smart you are."

+Anna and Ben finished packing and went back to Mom. They thanked her for the surprise and gave her a big kiss. They could not wait to go on vacation and see Grandma and Grandpa. They knew they would have a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox.
+
+One day, they see some big kids playing with toy guns and swords. They are making loud noises and pretending to fight. They are playing war.
+
+Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see what the big kids are doing. They walk closer to them and watch.
+
+But the big kids are not nice. They see Lily and Ben and start to laugh. They point their toy guns and swords at them and say mean things. They scare Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They don't like war. They don't like being scared. They run away from the big kids and hide behind a tree.
+
+They hug each other and cry. They wish the big kids would stop playing war and be nice.
+
+Then, they hear a familiar voice. It is their mom. She has come to pick them up from the park. She sees them behind the tree and walks towards them.
+
+She sees their tears and asks them what happened. They tell her about the big kids and the war.
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She tells them she is sorry they had a bad time. She tells them war is not a good game. She tells them they are brave and kind.
+
+She has a surprise for them. She has brought them ice cream. Their favorite flavor. She gives them each a cone and smiles.

+They lick their ice cream and smile. They are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox.
+Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy planets. They had a big ball for the sun, and smaller balls for the earth, the moon, and the other planets. They liked to pretend they were astronauts and explore the space.
+
+One day, Sam decided to polish his planets. He wanted them to shine like the real ones. He took a cloth and rubbed the balls until they were bright and smooth. He was very proud of his work.
+
+"Look, Mia, my planets are so pretty!" he said, showing her his balls.
+
+Mia looked at them and frowned. She did not like that Sam polished his planets. She liked them better when they were rough and bumpy. She thought they looked more like the real ones.
+
+"No, Sam, your planets are not pretty. They are too shiny and slippery. They look like soap bubbles. They are not real planets!" she said, grabbing one of his balls.
+
+"Hey, give it back! That's my planet!" Sam said, trying to get his ball back.
+
+They started to pull and tug on the ball, each wanting to have it. The ball was so shiny and slippery that it slipped out of their hands and rolled away. It rolled across the floor, under the table, and out of the door. It rolled down the stairs, along the hall, and out of the house. It rolled down the street, past the cars, and into the park. It rolled over the grass, under the trees, and into the pond. It sank into the water and disappeared.
+
+Sam and Mia ran after the ball, but they were too slow. They could not catch it. They reached the pond and looked for the ball, but they could not see it. They felt very sad and sorry. They had lost their planet.
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to share their planets and not fight over them. They went back to their house and played with their other planets. They learned to like them both shiny and bumpy. They had fun and were happy.
+Tom and Jen like to help mom in the kitchen. Mom is making a cake for dad's birthday. She gives Tom and Jen a big bowl and some eggs. She tells them to crack the eggs and mix them well.
+
+Tom and Jen are happy. They take turns to crack the eggs on the edge of the bowl. They hear a loud pop and see the yellow stuff come out. They laugh and say "pop, pop, pop". They use a big spoon to mix the eggs. They see the yellow stuff and the white stuff become one. They say "mix, mix, mix".
+
+But then, something weird happens. One of the eggs is not like the others. It has a green shell and a red spot. Tom and Jen are curious. They crack the egg and see something strange. The yellow stuff is purple and the white stuff is orange. They say "eww, eww, eww". They do not want to mix it with the other eggs.
+
+Mom comes back and sees the weird egg. She is surprised and says "oh, no, no, no". She tells Tom and Jen that the weird egg is not good for the cake. She says it is a bad egg and throws it in the trash. She gives Tom and Jen a hug and says "thank you, thank you, thank you". She says they are good helpers and they can have some cake later. Tom and Jen are happy. They say "yay, yay, yay".
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big vine on a tree. It looks like a rope.
+
+"Look, Mia, a vine!" Tom says. "We can swing on it. It will be fun!"
+
+"I don't know, Tom," Mia says. "It looks high and scary. What if we fall?"
+
+"Don't be silly, Mia," Tom says. "It is not scary. It is funny. Watch me!"
+
+Tom runs to the vine and grabs it. He swings in the air. He laughs and shouts. "Whee! This is so fun! Come on, Mia, try it!"
+
+Mia is still afraid, but she wants to be brave. She runs to the vine and grabs it. She swings in the air. She feels dizzy and scared. She wants to stop.
+
+"Tom, help me!" Mia cries. "I don't like this! I want to get down!"
+
+But Tom does not hear her. He is too busy swinging. He does not see that the vine is breaking. He does not see that Mia is falling.
+
+Snap! The vine breaks. Mia falls to the ground. She hits her head. She does not move. She does not make a sound.
+
+Tom stops swinging. He looks down. He sees Mia. He is shocked. He is scared. He is sorry.
+
+"Mia, Mia, wake up!" Tom cries. "Please, Mia, wake up!"
+
+But Mia does not wake up. She is hurt. She is gone.
+
+Tom is sad. He is alone. He wishes he had listened to Mia. He wishes he had not played with the vine. He wishes he could say sorry. But it is too late.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big band in the park. The band is playing loud music. The band is making a march. A march is when many people walk together and make music.
+
+Lily and Ben want to join the march. They run to the band. They see a man with a big hat. The man is the leader of the band. He has a stick. He waves the stick to tell the band what to do.
+
+"Hello, sir," Lily says. "Can we join your march? We like your music."
+
+The man with the big hat smiles. He looks at Lily and Ben. They are wearing colorful clothes. They have big smiles.
+
+"Sure, you can join us," the man says. "But you need to follow some rules. You need to walk in a line. You need to keep the same pace. You need to listen to my stick. And you need to wear these hats."
+
+The man gives Lily and Ben two small hats. The hats are red and blue. They have feathers on top. They are very pretty. But they are also very tight. They squeeze Lily and Ben's heads.
+
+"Ow, these hats hurt," Ben says. "They are too tight. Can we have bigger hats?"
+
+"I'm sorry, we don't have bigger hats," the man says. "These are the only hats we have. They are part of our uniform. If you want to join the march, you have to wear them."
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They want to join the march. But they don't want to wear the tight hats. They don't know what to do.
+
+"Can we think about it?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, you can think about it," the man says. "But you have to hurry. The march is starting soon. We are going to the town hall. We are going to play for the mayor. He likes our music. He recommends us to everyone."
+
+Lily and Ben think hard. They like the band. They like the music. They want to see the mayor. But they don't like the tight hats. They make their heads hurt. They make them unhappy.
+
+They make a decision. They give the hats back to the man.
+
+"Thank you, sir, but we don't want to join the march," Lily says. "We don't like the tight hats. They are not comfortable. They are not fun."
+
+"We are sorry, sir, but we have to go," Ben says. "We have to find another game. A game that makes us happy. A game that does not hurt."
+
+The man with the big hat nods. He understands. He is not angry. He is kind.
+
+"OK, I respect your choice," the man says. "You don't have to join the march. You can find another game. A game that suits you. A game that makes you happy. But I hope you will come and watch us. We will play for you. We will play for everyone."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They thank the man. They wave goodbye. They run away. They look for another game. A game that they like. A game that they recommend.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. But today, they have a big fight. Sara wants to play with the red car, and Ben wants to play with the blue car. They both say, "It's mine! Give it to me!" They pull and push and yell.
+
+Mom hears them and comes outside. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting, Sara and Ben! You have to share your toys. If you don't, you will go inside and have no toys at all." Sara and Ben do not listen. They keep fighting.
+
+The sun is going down. It makes the sky orange and pink and purple. It is a beautiful sunset. But Sara and Ben do not see it. They are too busy being angry. They hate each other. They do not want to share.
+
+Mom has had enough. She says, "That's it. You are going inside. No more toys for you. And no dessert either. You have to learn to be nice to each other." She takes their toys and puts them in a box. She holds their hands and leads them inside.

+Sara and Ben are sad. They do not like to go inside. They do not like to lose their toys. They do not like to miss dessert. They look at the sunset through the window. It is almost gone. They wish they had seen it. They wish they had played nicely. They wish they had not hated each other. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Sara. We're sorry, Ben." They hug and make up. Mom smiles and says, "It's okay. I love you both. Maybe tomorrow you can play outside again. And maybe you can share your toys. And maybe you can enjoy the sunset." Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We will. We love you too." They are happy again. They are friends again. They are twins again.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big net on the grass. They wanted to play with it.
+
+"Look, a net!" Tom said. "Let's catch something!"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "What can we catch?"
+
+They ran to the net and picked it up. They looked around for something to catch. They saw a bird, a dog, a ball, and a flower. But they were too fast, too big, too round, and too pretty to catch.
+
+Then they saw something unknown. It was small and green and had many legs. It was crawling on a tree.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Let's catch it!"
+
+They ran to the tree and threw the net over the unknown thing. They pulled the net down and looked inside. The unknown thing was wriggling and making a noise.
+
+"Wow, we caught it!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's see it!" Lily said.
+
+They opened the net and saw the unknown thing. It had a hard shell and two big eyes and two claws. It was a crab.
+
+"Hello, crab!" Tom said.
+
+"Hello, kids!" the crab said.
+
+Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know crabs could talk.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm a crab," the crab said. "I live in the sea. But I got lost and ended up here. Can you help me go back?"
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for the crab. They did not want to keep it in the net. They wanted to help it.
+
+"OK, crab," Tom said. "We will help you. Come with us."
+
+They lifted the net and carried the crab to the pond. They put the net in the water and let the crab out.
+
+"Thank you, kids," the crab said. "You are very kind. Goodbye!"
+
+"Goodbye, crab," Tom and Lily said. "Have a nice day!"
+
+They waved to the crab and watched it swim away. They were happy they helped the crab. They recognized it was a friend, not a toy. They learned something new. They went back to play.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many cones. The cones are orange and white. The truck stops near the park.
+
+"Look, cones!" Lily says. "Let's play with them!"
+
+"No, Lily, they are not for us," Ben says. "They are for the road. The truck man needs them."
+
+But Lily does not listen. She runs to the truck. She takes a cone. She puts it on her head. She laughs.
+
+"Ha ha, I am a cone head!" she says.
+
+Ben follows her. He is worried. He sees the truck man. The truck man is angry. He looks for his cones.
+
+"Hey, you kids, give me back my cones!" he shouts. "They are not toys! They are for work!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the cones. They run back to the park. They hide behind a tree.
+
+"Sorry, truck man," Ben says. "We did not mean to lose your cones."
+
+The truck man picks up his cones. He puts them back on the truck. He drives away.
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They are sorry. They learned a lesson.
+
+"Ben, you are smart," Lily says. "You knew the cones were not for us. I was silly. I should have listened to you."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Ben says. "We all make mistakes. But we should not take things that are not ours. Next time, let's play with our own toys."
+
+They smile. They go to the swings. They have fun. They are happy. They are twins.
+Lily and Ben are playing with paper and glue. They want to make a big house with windows and doors. Lily cuts the paper with scissors. Ben puts glue on the paper and sticks it together.
+
+"Look, our house is almost done!" Lily says. "We just need to make the roof."
+
+Ben nods and looks for more paper. He sees a big sheet of red paper on the table. He thinks it will be a good roof. He reaches for the paper, but he knocks over the glue bottle. The glue spills on the table and on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben cries. "The glue is everywhere!"
+
+Lily hears Ben and runs to him. She sees the mess and feels sorry for him. She does not get angry or blame him. She knows it was an accident.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," she says. "We can clean it up. I will help you."
+
+She gets a cloth and wipes the table. Ben gets another cloth and wipes the floor. They work together and soon the glue is gone.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Ben says. "You are very helpful."
+
+"You're welcome, Ben," Lily says. "You are very kind."
+
+They smile and hug each other. Then they finish their house with the red paper. They are happy and proud of their work. They turn their house around and show it to their mom. She praises them and gives them a big hug. She tells them they are very creative and good friends.
+Sara and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One morning, Sara wakes up early and sees a big box in the living room. She runs to the box and wants to open it. She thinks it is a present for her.
+
+Tom wakes up a little later and hears Sara. He also sees the box and wants to open it. He thinks it is a present for him. He runs to the living room and pushes Sara away from the box.
+
+"Stop! It is mine!" Sara shouts.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom shouts.
+
+They pull and tug at the box. They make a lot of noise. They do not wait for their mom and dad to come.
+
+Mom and dad hear the noise and come to the living room. They see Sara and Tom fighting over the box. They are not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"We want to open the box!" Sara and Tom say.
+
+Mom and dad look at each other and smile. They have a surprise for Sara and Tom.
+
+"The box is not for you. It is for both of you. It is a new game that you can play together. But you have to share and be nice to each other. Do you understand?" Dad says.
+
+Sara and Tom stop fighting and look at the box. They feel sorry for being mean to each other. They nod and say sorry.
+
+Mom and dad open the box and show Sara and Tom the game. It is a puzzle with many pieces and colors. It looks interesting and fun.
+
+Sara and Tom hug mom and dad and thank them. They decide to play the puzzle together. They help each other and take turns. They have a good time and learn to share.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She could brush her teeth, put on her clothes, and tie her shoes. She was proud of herself and wanted to show everyone.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw how high it was. She felt scared and wanted to go back. But there were other kids behind her who wanted to slide too.
+
+"Come on, Lily, you can do it!" her mom cheered from below.
+
+"No, I can't! It's too high!" Lily cried.
+
+"Yes, you can! You are a big girl, remember?" her dad said.
+
+Lily shook her head and clung to the rail. She did not want to slide. She wanted to go back to her mom and dad.
+
+"Hey, what's your name?" a voice asked behind her. It was a boy who was waiting for his turn.
+
+"Lily," she said.
+
+"Hi, Lily. I'm Ben. Do you want to slide with me?" he asked.
+
+Lily looked at him. He had a friendly smile and a red cap. He did not look scared at all.
+
+"Um, I don't know," she said.
+
+"It's fun, I promise. And I'll hold your hand if you want. Come on, let's go together," he said.
+
+He reached out his hand and waited for her to take it. Lily hesitated. She wanted to be independent, but she also wanted to have fun. She looked at her mom and dad. They nodded and smiled.
+
+"Okay, I'll try," she said.
+
+She took his hand and they slid down together. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and screamed. It was not so scary after all. It was fun.
+
+They reached the bottom and got up. They looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"That was awesome!" Ben said.
+
+"Yeah, it was!" Lily said.
+
+They high-fived and ran to the slide again. They became friends and played together for a long time.
+
+Lily's mom and dad watched them and smiled. They were happy that Lily had found a new friend and had overcome her fear. They were proud of her for being independent and brave.
+
+They relaxed on a bench and enjoyed the day.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big machine that made noises and moved. Lily had a doll that she dressed and hugged. Tom liked his machine, but he wanted to see Lily's doll too.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"No, this is my doll. You have your machine," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to see your doll. It is pretty and soft," Tom said.
+
+"No, go away. Your machine is stupid and loud," Lily said.
+
+Tom felt angry and sad. He wanted to make Lily share. He had an idea. He took his machine and put it near Lily's doll. He pressed a button and the machine made a big sneeze. The sneeze was so strong that it blew Lily's doll away.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily shouted. "You made my doll fly away. That was mean."
+
+Tom laughed. He thought it was funny. He did not see that the machine also sneezed on him. He felt a tickle in his nose. He sneezed too. He sneezed so hard that he fell off the couch.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt," Tom said. "My nose is wet."
+
+Lily stopped shouting. She saw Tom on the floor. She felt sorry for him. She also saw her doll on the other side of the room. She ran to get it. She came back to Tom and gave him a tissue.
+
+"Here, wipe your nose," Lily said. "I'm sorry I called your machine stupid. It is not stupid. It is funny. But it is also naughty. It should not sneeze on us."
+
+Tom smiled. He wiped his nose. He said, "I'm sorry I made your doll fly away. It is not loud. It is pretty and soft. Can we play together?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, we can play together. But let's put the machine away. It needs a nap. And maybe a doctor."
+
+They put the machine in a box. They played with the doll and the other toys. They shared and had fun. They did not sneeze anymore.
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play with their cart. Their cart has four wheels and a big box. They can put toys, books, and snacks in the box. They can pull the cart with a rope.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. Their mom is bald. She has no hair on her head. She wears a hat to keep warm. Tom and Jen love their mom very much. They think she is brave and kind.
+
+At the park, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They leave their cart under a tree. They run to the slide and take turns. They have a lot of fun.
+
+"Mom, look at us!" Tom shouts. "We are so fast!"
+
+"Mom, watch me!" Jen says. "I can slide with no hands!"
+
+Their mom smiles and claps. She is proud of them. She remains on the bench. She does not want to go on the slide. She is tired and needs to rest.
+
+After a while, Tom and Jen come back to their mom. They are thirsty and hungry. They look for their cart. But they cannot find it. Someone has taken their cart. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Mom, where is our cart?" Tom asks. "Who took our cart?"
+
+"Mom, we want our cart back!" Jen cries. "We need our toys and snacks!"
+
+Their mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my loves. We will find your cart. Maybe someone borrowed it by mistake. Maybe they will bring it back soon. Let's look around the park. Maybe we will see it."
+
+They walk around the park. They ask other people if they have seen their cart. But no one has seen it. They are about to give up. Then they hear a familiar sound. It is the sound of their cart. They follow the sound. They see a boy with their cart. He is pulling it with the rope. He has put his own toys in the box.
+
+"Hey, that's our cart!" Tom says. "Give it back to us!"
+
+"Yeah, that's our cart!" Jen says. "You can't take it!"
+
+The boy looks at them. He is surprised and scared. He says, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was yours. I thought it was a free cart. I just wanted to play with it. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Tom and Jen are still mad. But they are also kind. They see that the boy is sorry. They see that he has no other toys. They decide to share their cart with him. They say, "It's okay, we forgive you. But you have to ask before you take something. And you have to share with us. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The boy nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you for being nice to me. What are your names?"
+
+"I'm Tom and this is Jen. We are twins. And this is our mom. She is bald. She has no hair. But we love her very much."
+
+"I'm Sam. I'm not a twin. And this is my dad. He is bald too. He has no hair. But I love him very much."
+
+They introduce their parents to each other. Their parents are happy to meet. They sit on the bench and talk. They remain friends.
+
+Tom, Jen, and Sam play with the cart. They take turns pulling it. They put their toys in the box. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They are happy. They have a cart. They have a mom. They have a dad. They have each other. They have new friends.
+Ben and Mia liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But their favorite animal was the ostrich. The ostrich had a long neck, big eyes, and funny feathers. It could run very fast, but it could not fly.
+
+One day, they went to the zoo early in the morning. They wanted to see the ostrich wake up. They ran to the ostrich pen and looked for the big bird. They saw it lying on the ground, covered with straw. It looked like it was sleeping.
+
+"Hello, ostrich!" Ben shouted. "Wake up, wake up!"
+
+Mia shushed him. "Don't be loud, Ben. You will scare the ostrich. It is fragile. It needs to rest."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He climbed over the fence and ran towards the ostrich. He wanted to touch its feathers and see its eyes. He did not see the sign that said "Do not enter".
+
+The ostrich heard Ben's voice and felt his steps. It was not happy. It opened its eyes and saw Ben coming closer. It got angry and scared. It jumped up and kicked Ben with its strong legs. Ben fell down and cried.
+
+"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Mia and mom ran to him. They saw blood on his arm and a big bruise on his face. They were worried and sad.
+
+The ostrich ran away and hid behind a tree. It did not like people who disturbed its sleep. It wished they would leave it alone.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of crayons and paper. They liked to draw and print many things with their crayons, like animals, flowers, and cars.
+
+One day, they decided to print their faces on the wall with their crayons. They thought it was very funny and clever. They made big smiles and noses and eyes with different colors. They did not think about what their mom would say when she saw their wall.
+
+When their mom came home, she was very angry. She saw their faces on the wall and said, "What have you done? This is not a paper, this is a wall! You have made a big mess with your crayons. You have to clean it up and bathe right now!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt very sorry. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to print our faces. We thought it was fun. We will clean it up and bathe."
+
+Their mom said, "I know you like to print, but you have to be careful where you print. You can only print on paper, not on the wall. The wall is not for printing, it is for looking. You have to respect the wall and the house. And you have to bathe because you are dirty from the crayons. Bathe and then come to me. I will give you some paper and a new box of crayons. But you have to promise me to only print on paper, okay?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We promise. We will only print on paper. We love you, mom."
+
+They went to bathe and then came back to their mom. She gave them some paper and a new box of crayons. She hugged them and said, "I love you, too. You are my special twins. You don't have to print your faces on the wall to show me that. You are already beautiful and unique. You are not ordinary, you are extraordinary."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and thanked their mom. They learned their lesson and never printed on the wall again. They printed on paper and made their mom happy. They also learned to love themselves and each other for who they are. They were happy and extraordinary twins.
+Tom was a fisherman. He liked to catch fish in the lake. He had a boat, a net and a rod. He was happy when he had many fish.
+
+One day, he went to the lake with his son, Ben. Ben was three years old. He wanted to help his dad. He said, "Dad, can I use the rod?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Sure, Ben. You can use the rod. But you have to be careful. The rod is not a toy. It is useful for catching fish."
+
+Tom gave Ben the rod and showed him how to hold it. He said, "You have to swing the rod and throw the line into the water. Then you have to wait for a fish to bite. When you feel a tug, you have to pull the rod and reel in the fish."
+
+Ben nodded and tried to do what his dad said. He swung the rod and threw the line. But he threw it too hard. The line flew over the boat and landed on a tree. The rod got stuck in the branches.
+
+Ben frowned and said, "Oh no, Dad. I'm sorry. I broke the rod."
+
+Tom looked at the rod and the tree. He said, "Don't worry, Ben. It's okay. You didn't break the rod. You just tangled it. We can untangle it later. Come here, I have an idea."
+
+Tom took Ben to the other side of the boat. He gave him the net and said, "You can use the net instead. The net is also useful for catching fish. You have to dip the net into the water and scoop up the fish. It's easy and fun."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Okay, Dad. I'll try the net."
+
+He took the net and dipped it into the water. He saw some fish swimming near the boat. He scooped up one fish and lifted the net. He was happy and said, "Look, Dad. I caught a fish. I caught a fish with the net."
+
+Tom hugged Ben and said, "Well done, Ben. You are a good fisherman. I'm proud of you."
+
+They both laughed and put the fish in a bucket. They caught more fish with the net. They had a good time together. They forgot about the rod and the tree. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But then the sky became dark and they heard a loud boom. It was a storm!
+
+"Quick, let's go home!" Lily said to Ben. "We don't want to get wet!"
+
+They ran to their bikes and started to pedal. But the rain was too fast. It made them wet and cold. They saw a big puddle on the road. Ben wanted to splash in it, but Lily said no.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Lily shouted. "There is a rainbow in the sky!"
+
+Ben looked up and saw the rainbow. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. It was bright and beautiful. It made them smile.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Ben said. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"No, silly, we can't touch it. It's too far away. But we can make a wish on it. Maybe it will come true."
+
+"OK, what do you wish for?" Lily asked.
+
+"I wish for a big cake with chocolate and sprinkles. And I wish to share it with you. What do you wish for?"
+
+"I wish for a warm hug and a fine story. And I wish to share it with you too."
+
+They reached their home and parked their bikes. They ran inside and saw their mom waiting for them. She had a towel and a blanket for them. She gave them a warm hug and dried them off.
+
+"Mom, we saw a rainbow!" Lily and Ben said together.
+
+"That's wonderful, my loves. Did you make a wish on it?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, we did. We wished for a cake and a story. And we wished to share them with you." Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Well, you are in luck. I have a surprise for you. I made a cake with chocolate and sprinkles. And I have a fine story to tell you. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. I will serve you some cake and then we can sit on the couch and read the story together."
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They followed their mom to the kitchen. They ate some cake and drank some milk. Then they cuddled on the couch and listened to their mom's story. They felt warm and cozy. They thought their wishes had come true. They thanked the rainbow for making their day.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls on her shelf. They were all beautiful. She loved them very much. She promised to take good care of them.
+
+One day, Lily had a friend over. Her name was Mia. Mia liked to play with dolls too. But Mia was not nice. She wanted to take Lily's dolls. She said they were hers.
+
+Lily said no. They were her dolls. She promised to take good care of them. Mia got angry. She pushed Lily. She grabbed a doll from the shelf. She ran away.
+
+Lily cried. She ran after Mia. She wanted her doll back. She promised to take good care of it. But Mia was faster. She ran out of the door. She dropped the doll on the street.
+
+A big car came. It hit the doll. The doll broke. It was not beautiful anymore. Lily saw what happened. She cried louder. She lost her doll. She lost her friend. She broke her promise.
+Lily wanted to make a card for her mom. She had paper, crayons, and scissors. She saw a picture of a turkey in a book. She liked the turkey. She wanted to print the turkey on her card.
+
+She put the book on the paper. She traced the turkey with a crayon. She cut out the turkey with the scissors. She glued the turkey on the card. She wrote "I love you mom" with a crayon.
+
+She showed the card to her brother Tom. Tom looked at the card. He said, "That is a terrible turkey. It has no feathers. It has no eyes. It has no beak. It looks like a blob."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "But I tried my best. I love the turkey. I love mom."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. Your turkey is not terrible. It is special. It is your turkey. Mom will love it too."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother."
+
+They hugged. They gave the card to mom. Mom was happy. She said, "This is the best card ever. I love the turkey. I love you, Lily. I love you, Tom."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They love to play in the park. One day, they see a large slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They run to the slide. They wait for their turn. They see other kids go down the slide. They look happy.
+
+Tom and Mia climb up the stairs. They reach the top of the slide. They see a big puddle of soap. Someone put soap on the slide. They do not know.
+
+"Ready?" Tom says.
+
+"Ready!" Mia says.
+
+They sit on the slide. They push off. They slide down. They go very fast. They slip and slide. They cannot stop. They scream.
+
+They reach the end of the slide. They fly off. They land on the ground. They hurt themselves. They cry.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom says.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Mia says.
+
+They have cuts and bruises. They are dirty and wet. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Who did this?" Tom says.
+
+"I don't know!" Mia says.
+
+They look around. They see a boy. He is laughing. He has a bottle of soap. He is the one who put soap on the slide. He is mean.
+
+"Ha ha ha! That was funny!" the boy says.
+
+Tom and Mia do not think it is funny. They think it is bad. They do not like the boy. They do not want to play with him. They want to go home.
+
+They get up. They limp away. They leave the park. They do not love the slide anymore. They do not love the soap. They do not love the boy. They have a bad day. The end.
+Lily was a little fox who liked to play with fire. She found a box of matches in the barn and took them to the woods. She lit one match and watched the flame. It was bright and warm and pretty. She lit another match and threw it on the ground. She liked to see the leaves and twigs burn.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was Farmer Brown, who saw the smoke and came to see what was going on. He saw Lily and the matches and the fire. He was very angry and scared. He shouted at Lily and took the matches away. He stomped on the fire and put it out with water.
+
+"Lily, you are a very naughty fox!" he said. "You could have burned the whole woods and hurt yourself and the other animals. Fire is not a toy. It is dangerous and can hurt you. You should be ashamed of yourself!"
+
+Lily felt very bad. She knew she had done something wrong. She was sorry for playing with fire and making Farmer Brown angry. She was ashamed of herself. She hung her head and said in a small voice, "I'm sorry, Farmer Brown. I won't play with fire again. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Farmer Brown sighed. He was still angry, but he also felt sorry for Lily. He knew she was just a curious and playful fox. He said, "Lily, I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to be more careful and listen to me. Fire is not for foxes. It is for humans who know how to use it safely. You have to promise me you will never touch matches or fire again. Do you promise?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, Farmer Brown. I promise I will never touch matches or fire again. I don't want to burn anything or anyone. I want to be a good fox."
+
+Farmer Brown smiled. He said, "That's a good girl, Lily. Now go back to your den and stay out of trouble. And remember, I'm always watching you."
+
+Lily ran back to her den. She felt sad and ashamed, but also relieved and grateful. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that fire is not a toy. She learned that fire can burn. She learned that fire can make you ashamed.
+Lily loved to play with her toy boat in the bathtub. She liked to make it zoom across the water and pretend it was a big ship on a great adventure. She had a little anchor that she could attach to the boat and drop it when she wanted it to stop.
+
+One day, she decided to take her boat outside and play in the pond. She thought it would be fun to see how fast it could go in the bigger water. She put on her boots and coat and ran to the pond with her boat and anchor.
+
+She threw the boat in the water and watched it zoom away. She smiled and ran along the shore, trying to keep up with it. She saw some ducks and fish and frogs in the pond. She thought they would like to see her boat too.
+
+But then, she saw something else. A big, mean dog was also running by the pond. It saw the boat and barked loudly. It wanted to catch the boat and bite it. Lily was scared. She did not want the dog to hurt her boat. She wished she could stop the boat and take it back.
+
+She remembered the anchor. She had left it in her pocket. She quickly took it out and threw it as hard as she could towards the boat. She hoped it would reach it and make it stop.
+
+She was lucky. The anchor landed on the boat and hooked onto it. The boat stopped zooming and stayed in one place. The dog ran past it and did not notice it. Lily ran to the boat and pulled it out of the water. She hugged it and checked if it was okay. It was. She was happy.
+
+She decided to go back home and play with her boat in the bathtub. She thought it was safer and more peaceful there. She learned to always keep the anchor with her when she played with her boat. She never wanted to lose it again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Welcome to the Circus". They wanted to see the circus.
+
+"Can we go, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, why not? It looks fun," Mom said.
+
+They bought tickets and went inside the tent. They saw many animals and people doing tricks. They saw a clown with a red nose and big shoes. He made them laugh. They saw a man with a whip and a chair. He made a lion do what he said. They saw a lady with a pretty dress. She flew in the air with a rope.

+But the best thing they saw was a tiger. The tiger was big and orange and black. He had sharp teeth and claws. He looked scary, but also beautiful. He was in a cage with a sign that said "Do not touch".
+
+"Wow, look at the tiger!" Tom said.
+
+"He is so cool!" Lily said.
+
+They went closer to the cage. They wanted to see the tiger better. The tiger saw them too. He looked at them with his yellow eyes. He made a loud roar.
+
+"Hello, tiger!" Lily said.
+
+"Roar!" the tiger said.
+
+"Are you happy, tiger?" Tom asked.
+
+"Roar!" the tiger said.
+
+"Are you ready for the show, tiger?" Lily asked.
+
+"Roar!" the tiger said.
+
+The tiger seemed to like them. He moved his head and tail. He licked his lips. He rubbed his nose on the bars.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They liked the tiger too. They felt brave and curious. They wanted to touch the tiger.
+
+They reached their hands to the cage. They wanted to pet the tiger.
+
+"Stop!" Mom said.
+
+She ran to them and pulled them back. She was scared and angry.
+
+"What are you doing? You can't touch the tiger! He is dangerous! He can bite you or scratch you! He is not a pet! He is a wild animal!" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and sad. They did not mean to be bad. They did not know the tiger was dangerous. They thought he was friendly.
+
+They looked at the tiger. The tiger looked at them. He made a soft purr.
+
+"Sorry, tiger," Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, tiger," Tom said.
+
+The tiger nodded. He seemed to understand. He did not look angry. He looked calm and gentle.
+
+He made a loud roar. He was ready for the show.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with thread. They make necklaces and bracelets with thread and beads. They skip to the park with their thread and beads. They sit on a bench and start to make their jewelry.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a blue necklace for you!" Tom says. He puts the necklace around Lily's neck. "It is very pretty, thank you, Tom!" Lily says. She smiles and hugs Tom.
+
+A big boy sees them. He is bad. He wants their thread and beads. He runs to them and grabs their thread. He pulls hard and breaks their thread. The beads fall on the ground. Lily and Tom are sad and scared.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Tom says. He tries to get the thread from the big boy. The big boy pushes Tom and makes him fall. Lily cries and helps Tom get up.
+
+"Go away, you are bad!" Lily says. She picks up some beads and throws them at the big boy. The big boy is angry and runs after Lily and Tom. Lily and Tom skip away from the big boy. They run to a nice lady who is walking her dog.
+
+"Help us, please!" Lily and Tom say. They tell the nice lady what happened. The nice lady is kind. She hugs Lily and Tom and gives them some cookies. She calls the big boy's mom and tells her what he did. The big boy's mom is mad. She comes to the park and scolds the big boy. She makes him say sorry to Lily and Tom and give them back their thread and beads.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They thank the nice lady and the big boy's mom. They finish their jewelry and wear it. They skip back home with their thread and beads. They are still friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they see a big poster of a train. The poster says: "Come and ride the train! It is fun and fast!"
+
+Anna and Ben want to ride the train. They ask their mom. "Mom, can we ride the train? Please, please, please!"
+
+Mom smiles. She says: "Yes, we can ride the train. But we have to buy tickets first. And we have to pack our bags. It is a long journey. We will stay in a new place for two nights."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They help mom pack their bags. They put their cars and dolls in their backpacks. They also take some snacks and books. They are ready for the journey.

+
+Anna and Ben are excited. They say: "We are riding the train! We are going on a journey! This is fun!"
+
+Mom hugs them. She says: "Yes, this is fun. But it is also tough. We have to be brave and careful. We have to follow the rules and listen to the staff. We have to be kind and polite to the other people. We have to respect the new place we are going to."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say: "We will be brave and careful. We will follow the rules and listen to the staff. We will be kind and polite to the other people. We will respect the new place we are going to."
+
+Mom smiles. She says: "Good. I am proud of you. You are good twins. You are good travelers. I love you."

+Sara loved to bounce on her big red ball. She bounced up and down, left and right, all over the yard. She felt happy and free, like a bird in the sky. She liked to bounce with her friends, too. They would take turns and cheer for each other.
+
+One day, a new girl moved in next door. Her name was Mia. She had a big blue ball, just like Sara's. Sara wanted to be friends with Mia, so she went over to say hello.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sara. Do you want to bounce with me?" Sara asked.
+
+"Hi, I'm Mia. Sure, I like to bounce, too." Mia said.
+
+They bounced together for a while, and had fun. But then, Mia started to bounce higher and faster than Sara. She bounced over the fence, over the flowers, over the dog. She bounced so high, she almost touched the clouds.
+
+"Wow, you're so good at bouncing!" Sara said. "You're very graceful."
+
+"Thank you. I know I'm the best. I can bounce better than anyone." Mia said. "Can you bounce like me?"
+
+Sara tried to bounce like Mia, but she couldn't. She bounced too low, too slow, too clumsy. She bounced into the fence, into the flowers, into the dog. She bounced so hard, she fell off her ball.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Sara said. "You're not very nice. You made me feel bad."
+
+"I don't care. I'm better than you. You're not very good at bouncing." Mia said. "You should go away."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She didn't want to bounce with Mia anymore. She picked up her ball and went back to her yard. She bounced by herself, and felt happy and free again. She liked to bounce with her friends, but not with Mia. Mia was not a good friend. Sara hoped to find a new friend who would bounce with her and be kind.
+Tommy liked to play with his robot. His robot was regular, not like the big and shiny ones that some of his friends had. His robot had two arms, two legs, a head and a body. It could make noises and move a little, but not much.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom and his robot. He saw a boy with a big and shiny robot that could fly and shoot lasers. Tommy wanted to play with that robot, but the boy said no. He said his robot was too cool for Tommy and his regular robot.
+
+Tommy felt sad and angry. He wished he had a big and shiny robot too. He looked at his robot and thought it was boring and ugly. He squeezed his robot hard, hoping it would do something amazing. But nothing happened. His robot just made a sad noise and stopped moving.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She saw Tommy squeezing his robot and saw the robot's eyes go dark. "You broke your robot! Why did you do that?"
+
+Tommy felt sorry and ashamed. He didn't mean to break his robot. He loved his robot, even if it was regular. He hugged his robot and said, "I'm sorry, robot. I was mean to you. I wanted a big and shiny robot, but you are my best friend. Please work again."
+
+His mom took his robot and looked at it. She saw that Tommy had squeezed the battery out of place. She fixed it and gave it back to Tommy. His robot made a happy noise and blinked its eyes. Tommy smiled and thanked his mom.
+
+"Tommy, you should be happy with what you have," his mom said. "Your robot is special, because it is yours. It doesn't matter if it is big or shiny or can do fancy things. What matters is that you take care of it and love it. Do you understand?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry I was greedy and ungrateful. I won't squeeze my robot again. I will be nice to it and play with it. I don't need a big and shiny robot. I have a regular robot, and it is perfect for me."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be happy with what you have and don't be jealous of others. Treat your belongings with respect and love.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they also liked to do dares. They would dare each other to do things that were scary or hard.
+
+One day, Tom dared Mia to touch the metal object on the ground. It was round and shiny and had a hole in the middle. Tom said it was a ring from a big car. Mia was curious, but she was also afraid. She did not know what the object was or if it was safe.
+
+Mia looked at the object. She saw that the sun was shining on it very brightly. She thought it might be hot. She did not want to burn her hand. She said to Tom, "I don't want to touch it. It looks hot. You touch it first."
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "No, you have to touch it. I dared you. Don't be a chicken." He pushed Mia closer to the object. Mia felt scared and angry. She did not like Tom pushing her. She did not like Tom calling her a chicken.
+
+Mia decided to touch the object. She wanted to show Tom that she was brave. She reached out her hand and touched the object. But as soon as she touched it, she screamed. The object was very hot. It burned her hand. She pulled her hand back and cried. Tom was shocked. He did not think the object would be that hot. He felt sorry for Mia. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't know. Are you okay?"
+
+Mia was not okay. Her hand hurt a lot. She ran to her mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. Her mom saw her hand and said, "Oh, no, Mia. What happened?" Mia told her mom what happened. Her mom said, "That was a very bad dare, Tom. You should never touch things that you don't know. They could be dangerous. And you should never push or call names to your friends. That is not nice. You should say sorry to Mia and help her."
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He walked to Mia and her mom. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was wrong. I won't do that again. Can I help you?" Mia looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do that again. And don't call me a chicken." Tom nodded. He said, "I won't. And you're not a chicken. You're very brave." Mia smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You're brave too. But next time, let's do a different dare. Like jumping over a puddle or making a funny face." Tom agreed. He said, "Okay, Mia. That sounds like fun. Let's do that." Mia and Tom hugged. They were friends again.

+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks.
+
+But then Ben saw a big box of new blocks on the shelf. He wanted to play with them. He climbed on a chair and reached for the box. He saw a lock on the box. He needed a key to unlock the box.
+
+"Where is the key?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know. Mommy said we can't play with those blocks. They are for big kids. They are hard and sharp. They can hurt us." Lily said.
+
+"I don't care. I want to play with them. They look fun. Maybe the key is in the drawer." Ben said. He jumped off the chair and ran to the drawer. He opened it and looked for the key.
+
+Lily followed him and tried to stop him. She was scared. She did not want Ben to get hurt. She did not want Mommy to be angry.
+
+"Ben, stop! Don't do that! Mommy will be angry. She will take away our blocks. She will put us in time out. Please, Ben, come back and play with me." Lily said.

+But then he heard a loud noise. It was Mommy. She came into the playroom and saw the mess. She saw the open box and the new blocks. She saw the key and the lock. She saw Ben and Lily. She was angry.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What are you doing? How did you get the key? How did you unlock the box? You know you are not supposed to play with those blocks! They are dangerous! They are not for you! You could have hurt yourself or your sister! You are in big trouble!" Mommy said.
+
+She took away the new blocks and the key. She put them back in the box and locked it. She put the box back on the shelf. She took Ben and Lily by the hand and led them to the corner. She made them sit in time out.
+
+"Ben, Lily, you have to stay in time out for ten minutes. You have to think about what you did. You have to say sorry to me and to each other. You have to promise to never do that again. Do you understand?" Mommy said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sad and sorry. They did not like time out. They did not like to make Mommy angry. They did not like to fight with each other.

+Tom and Mia looked at each other. They saw the sadness and anger in their eyes. They felt sorry and ashamed. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to be happy and kind. They chose to work together and have more fun.
+
+They said sorry and hugged each other. They decided to take turns with the car and the doll. They also found other toys in the box that they could share and enjoy. They played nicely and had a lot of fun. They made no more noise and hurt no more feelings. They made silence and peace. Their mom smiled and was proud of them. She said, "You made a good choice. I love you both."
+Lily and Ben were happy. They liked to play in the park with their dog Spot. Spot was a big dog with black and white fur. He had many spots on his body. Lily and Ben liked to count his spots.
+
+One day, they went to the park with Spot and their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They wanted to try them all. Mom said they could, but they had to take turns and watch Spot.
+
+Lily went to the slide first. She climbed up the ladder and slid down. She laughed and said, "That was fun!" Ben said, "My turn, my turn!" He ran to the slide and climbed up. He slid down and said, "That was fun too!"
+
+They looked for Spot. They saw him near the swing. He was wagging his tail and barking. Lily said, "Let's go to the swing, Ben!" They ran to the swing and asked mom to push them. They swung high and low. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They said, "Weee!"
+
+They looked for Spot again. They saw him in the sandbox. He was digging and rolling. He had sand on his nose and ears. Lily said, "Let's go to the sandbox, Ben!" They ran to the sandbox and joined Spot. They made sand castles and sand pies. They buried Spot's paws and tickled his belly. He licked their faces and made them giggle.
+
+They looked at Spot and said, "You are so dirty, Spot! How many spots do you have now?" They tried to count his spots, but they could not see them. They were covered with sand. They said, "Oh no, Spot! Where are your spots?"
+
+Mom said, "Don't worry, kids. Spot's spots are still there. They are just hidden by the sand. When we go home, we will give him a bath and wash the sand off. Then you can count his spots again."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Okay, mom. That sounds good." They hugged Spot and said, "We love you, Spot. You are the best dog ever." Spot wagged his tail and barked. He was happy too. He loved Lily and Ben. They were the best kids ever.
+Anna likes books. She has many books in her bookcase. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Sometimes she reads to her teddy bear.
+
+One day, Anna wants to find a new book. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the top shelf of the bookcase. She sees a big book with a shiny cover. She wants to see what is inside.
+
+But the book is too tight. It is stuck between two other books. Anna pulls hard, but the book does not move. She pulls harder, but the book does not move. She pulls even harder, but the book does not move.
+
+Then, the book moves. But it moves too fast. It falls out of the bookcase and hits Anna on the head. Anna falls off the chair and cries. The book and the chair make a loud noise.
+
+Mama hears the noise and runs to Anna. She hugs Anna and kisses her head. She asks Anna what happened. Anna tells Mama about the book. Mama says the book is too big for Anna. She says Anna should not climb on the chair. She says Anna should ask for help.
+
+Mama picks up the book and the chair. She puts them back in the bookcase. She finds a smaller book for Anna. She reads the book to Anna and her teddy bear. Anna likes the book. She says sorry to Mama. Mama says it is okay. She says she loves Anna. Anna says she loves Mama. They hug and smile.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big book with pictures of animals and plants. They opened the book and saw a jungle. It was green and full of life. They gazed at the jungle and wished they could go there.
+
+"Look, Lily, a monkey!" Tom said, pointing at a brown animal with a long tail. "It is so flexible. It can swing from tree to tree."
+
+"I want to be a monkey too!" Lily said. She jumped on the sofa and pretended to be a monkey. She made funny noises and moved her arms and legs.
+
+Tom joined her and they had fun. But they were not careful. They bumped into a lamp and knocked it over. It broke with a loud crash. They heard their mom coming.
+
+"Oh no, we are in trouble!" Tom said. He and Lily hid behind the sofa.
+
+"What happened here?" their mom asked. She saw the broken lamp and the book on the floor. She was angry and sad. She loved that lamp. It was a gift from her grandma.
+
+She looked for Tom and Lily. She found them behind the sofa. They looked scared and sorry.
+
+"Tom, Lily, did you do this?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They did not lie. They knew it was wrong to lie.
+
+"Why did you do this?" she asked.
+
+"We wanted to be monkeys, mom," Lily said. "We saw them in the book. They were so flexible and fun."
+
+"I understand, but you have to be careful, too," their mom said. "You can't break things and make a mess. You have to respect our home and our things. And you have to be safe. You could have hurt yourselves or started a fire."
+
+Tom and Lily felt bad. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They helped her clean up the mess and fix the lamp. They learned their lesson.
+
+They still liked to look at the book and gaze at the jungle. But they did not pretend to be monkeys anymore. They played with their toys and their imagination. They were happy and good.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a big case with many dolls and dresses. Ben has a small case with cars and trucks. They like to share their toys and make stories.
+
+But today, Sara's case is smelly. It smells like old cheese and socks. Sara does not know why. She opens her case and sees a green and white thing. It is moldy bread. She says, "Yuck! Who put this in my case?"
+
+Ben comes over and looks at the bread. He says, "I did. I was hungry yesterday and I took a bite. But I did not like it. It was hard and dry. So I hid it in your case. I forgot to take it out. I'm sorry."
+
+Sara is angry and sad. She says, "That was not nice, Ben. You made my case and my dolls smelly. You should not hide food in my things. You should throw it away or give it to the birds. Now I have to wash my case and my dolls. And you have to help me."
+
+Ben feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was silly. I will help you wash your case and your dolls. And I will not hide food in your things again. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to promise me. And you have to say sorry to my dolls too. They are not happy with you."
+
+Ben nods and says, "I promise. And I'm sorry, dolls. You are very pretty and nice. I will not make you smelly again."
+
+Sara and Ben hug and smile. They take the case and the dolls to the bathroom. They wash them with soap and water. They make them clean and fresh. Then they go back to the living room. They play with their toys and make stories. They are happy again.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with toys. They have many toys, but they want more. They see a big switch on the wall. They do not know what it does. They think it is a toy.

+
+"OK!" Kim says.
+
+They run to the switch and pull it down. The lights go off. The TV goes off. The fan goes off. Everything goes off. They are scared.

+
+"What did you do?" Mom asks.
+
+"We played with the switch. We thought it was a toy." Tim says.
+
+"That is not a toy. That is a switch for the power. You turned off the power for the whole house." Dad says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad." Kim says.
+
+Mom and Dad are not happy. They tell the twins to never play with the switch again. They tell them to be careful with things they do not know. They tell them to be happy with what they have.
+
+They send the twins to their room. The twins are sad. They do not have any toys to play with. They do not have any lights to see. They do not have any fan to cool them.

+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers and the grass. They had a big hose that made water come out fast. Lily held the hose and Tom ran around. He tried to dodge the water, but Lily was good at aiming. She soaked him with water and he laughed.
+
+"Stop, stop, I'm wet!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, OK, let's go inside and dry off," Lily said. She turned off the hose and they ran to the house. They saw Mom in the kitchen. She was making dinner. She had a bottle of wine on the counter. She smiled when she saw them.
+
+"Look at you two, you're soaked!" Mom said. "Did you have fun in the garden?"
+
+"Yes, Mom, we did," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"That's good. Why don't you go upstairs and change into dry clothes? Then you can come down and help me set the table," Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom, we will," Lily and Tom said. They went upstairs and changed. They came back down and saw Mom had poured some wine into a glass. She gave it to Dad, who had just come home from work.
+
+"Thank you, dear, you're very kind," Dad said. He kissed Mom and took a sip of wine.
+
+Lily and Tom helped Mom set the table. They put plates, forks, spoons, and napkins on the table. They also put a jug of water and some cups. They were hungry and ready to eat. They sat down and Mom served them dinner. They had chicken, potatoes, and carrots. It was yummy.

+
+One day, they see a big tent in the park. It has many colorful flags and pictures on it. They are curious and want to see what is inside. They sneak under the tent and find a lot of people sitting on mats. They are wearing colorful clothes and jewelry. They are talking in a language that Lila and Tom do not understand.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" a woman asks them. She has a big smile and a flower in her hair.
+
+"We are Lila and Tom. We are playing in the park. We imagine we are in different places. What is this place?" Lila says.
+
+"This is a place where we celebrate our culture. We are from a faraway land. We have our own language and traditions. We like to share them with others. Do you want to join us?" the woman says.
+
+"Yes, please. We want to learn more. Can you teach us your language and your songs?" Tom says.
+
+"Of course. Come, sit with us. We will show you how to say hello, how to count, how to sing and dance. You will have fun. You will also make new friends." the woman says.

+Ben and Lily like to play in the garden. They have a hose that makes water come out. They can spray the water on the flowers, the grass and each other. It is fun to get wet and cool.
+
+One day, they see a big fire truck on their street. The fire truck has a loud siren and a long hose. The firemen jump out of the truck and run to a house that has smoke coming out of it. They carry the hose to the house and spray water on the fire.
+
+Ben and Lily watch from the garden. They are scared and curious. They want to help the firemen. They pick up their hose and carry it to the street. They try to spray water on the fire, too. But their hose is too small and the water is too weak. It does not reach the fire.
+
+The firemen see Ben and Lily. They smile and wave at them. They tell them to go back to the garden and stay safe. They say they are brave and kind, but they do not need their help. They have a big hose that can put out the fire.

+Lila and Tom were playing a game. They had to throw balls into a big box. Whoever threw more balls would win. Lila was good at throwing. She threw many balls into the box. Tom was not so good. He threw only a few balls. He was angry.
+
+"I want to win!" Tom said. He saw a fire in the corner. It was from a candle. Tom had an idea. He ran to the fire and took the candle. He threw it into the box with the balls. The balls caught fire. The box caught fire. The fire was big and hot.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" Lila shouted. She was scared. She ran away from the fire. She called for help. "Mom! Dad! Fire!"

+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom said. He was sad. He knew he was wrong. He wanted to win, but he did not think. He did not know about fire. He learned a lesson.
+
+Lila came back. She was still scared, but she was also sorry for Tom. She gave him a hug. "It's okay, Tom," she said. "We can play another game. A game without fire. A game where we can both win."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big box that they used as a house, a car, a boat, or anything they wanted. They liked to pretend they were going on adventures.
+
+But today, they heard their mom say that they had to go to the dentist soon. Tom and Lily did not like the dentist. They were worried that it would hurt and that they would miss their playtime. They did not want to go.
+
+They had an idea. They decided to delay their mom by hiding in the box. They thought that if she could not find them, she would not take them to the dentist. They put some pillows and blankets in the box and crawled inside. They closed the flaps and waited.
+
+Their mom came into the living room and saw the box. She smiled and said, "I wonder where Tom and Lily are. Maybe they are in the box." She walked over to the box and lifted the flaps. She saw Tom and Lily looking scared and guilty.
+
+She said, "There you are, my silly kids. I know you don't like the dentist, but you have to go. It won't hurt, I promise. And you can play with your toys when we come back. Now, come on, let's go."
+
+Tom and Lily came out of the box and followed their mom. They were still worried, but they knew their mom loved them and wanted them to be healthy. They hoped the dentist would be nice and quick. They also hoped their box would still be there when they returned.
+Tom is a boy who does not like to take his pills. He has a cold and his nose is runny. His mom says he needs to take his pills to feel better, but he does not want to.
+
+"Tom, it is time to take your pills," his mom says. She has a spoon and a glass of water in her hands.
+
+"No, no, no!" Tom says. He runs away and hides under his bed. He does not like the taste of the pills. They are bitter and make him gag.
+
+"Tom, please come out. You have to take your pills. They will help you stop sneezing and coughing," his mom says. She bends down and looks under the bed. She sees Tom's feet and his teddy bear.
+
+"No, no, no!" Tom says again. He holds his teddy bear tight and turns his face away. He does not want to see his mom or the pills.
+
+"Tom, I know you do not like the pills, but they are good for you. If you take them, you can play with your toys and watch your favorite show. How about that?" his mom says. She tries to sound nice and gentle.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to play with his toys and watch his favorite show. He does not like to be sick and stay in bed. He looks at his mom and sees her smile.
+
+"Okay, okay," Tom says. He crawls out from under the bed and sits on his mom's lap. He opens his mouth and lets his mom put the pills on his tongue. He drinks the water and swallows the pills. He makes a face and sticks out his tongue.
+
+"Good boy, Tom. You did it. I am proud of you," his mom says. She hugs him and kisses his cheek. She gives him his teddy bear and a sticker.
+
+"Thank you, mom. I love you," Tom says. He feels a little better. He hopes the pills will make him well soon. He hangs his sticker on the wall and smiles. He is a brave boy.

+The dog did not listen. It lay down on the grass and chewed the ball. It made holes in the ball and let the air out. The ball became flat and sad.
+
+Tim and Sam were angry and sad. They wanted their ball back. They were also anxious. They did not know if the dog was nice or mean. They did not want to go near the dog.
+
+They waited for their mom to come home. She saw the dog and the ball. She was not happy. She went to the dog and said, "Bad dog! Go away!" She took the ball from the dog and threw it over the fence. The dog ran after the ball and left the yard.
+
+Tim and Sam were happy. They hugged their mom and thanked her. She said, "I'm sorry, boys. Your ball is ruined. I'll get you a new one tomorrow."
+
+Tim and Sam said, "That's okay, mom. We love you."
+
+They went inside and had a snack. They decided to play a different sport. They got their crayons and paper and drew pictures of the dog and the ball. They laughed and had fun.
+Lily liked to play with her red cap. She wore it every day, even when it was hot. She liked how it made her look like a big girl. She did not like to share her cap with anyone.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. There were many other kids there, playing on the swings and slides. Lily saw a boy with a blue cap. She wanted to try it on. She ran to him and grabbed his cap.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" the boy shouted. He tried to get his cap, but Lily was too fast. She put it on her head and laughed.
+
+"Lily, that's not nice!" her mom said. "You can't take things that are not yours. Give the boy his cap back."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She liked the blue cap better than her red cap. She ran away from her mom and dad and the boy. She thought she was very clever.
+
+She did not see the big dog that was chasing a ball. The dog saw the blue cap on Lily's head. He thought it was a toy. He jumped on Lily and bit her cap. He pulled it hard and tore it apart.
+
+Lily screamed. She felt pain and fear. She dropped her red cap and tried to get away from the dog. But the dog was stronger and faster. He bit her arm and leg. He made her bleed.
+
+Her mom and dad and the boy ran to help her. They shouted at the dog and scared him away. They picked up Lily and hugged her. They called for help.
+
+Lily was very sad and hurt. She cried and cried. She wished she had not taken the boy's cap. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she still had her red cap. She was very tired and sorry. She learned a hard lesson. She did not have a good day.
+Sam and Mia were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa, who lived far away. Sam and Mia liked Grandma and Grandpa, but they did not like the long car ride. It was boring and made them sleepy.
+
+"Look, Sam, there are cows!" Mia said, pointing out the window. She liked animals and wanted to see more.
+
+Sam looked, but he did not care. He had seen cows before. He wanted to see something new and fun. He yawned and said, "Cows are not fun. They are just big and slow. I want to see a dinosaur or a rocket or a castle."
+
+Mia laughed and said, "You are silly, Sam. There are no dinosaurs or rockets or castles here. This is the countryside. It is green and quiet and pretty. I like the landscape. It makes me happy."
+
+Sam did not agree. He thought the landscape was weird and dull. He did not like the green and quiet and pretty. He liked the bright and loud and exciting. He yawned again and said, "I do not like the landscape. It makes me bored. Are we there yet?"
+
+Mom and Dad heard Sam and Mia. They smiled and said, "We are almost there, kids. Just a little more. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us. They have a surprise for you. You will like it, we promise."
+
+Sam and Mia wondered what the surprise was. They hoped it was something fun and not something weird. They stopped yawning and looked out the window again. Maybe they would see something new and fun after all.
+Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play with toys and pretend they are pilots. They have a big jet made of cardboard and paint. They seat in the jet and make noises like zoom and beep.
+
+One day, they see a real jet in the sky. It is white and shiny and very fast. They want to see it closer. They run to the fence and wave at the jet. They hope the pilot will see them and wave back.
+
+But the jet does not wave. It flies lower and lower. It makes a loud boom and smoke. Tim and Sam are scared. They think the jet is in trouble. They run back to their jet and grab their walkie-talkies.
+
+"Help, help!" they shout into the walkie-talkies. "A jet is falling from the sky! It needs help!"
+
+A voice answers them. It is a serious voice. It says, "This is the air control. We hear you, boys. Where are you?"
+
+Tim and Sam tell the voice where they are. They say they are pilots too. They say they have a jet.
+
+The voice says, "That's very brave of you, boys. But you are not real pilots. You are playing. The jet you saw is a real jet. It is doing a show. It is not falling. It is doing a trick. It is safe. Do not worry."
+
+Tim and Sam are surprised. They look at the sky again. They see the jet fly up and make a loop. It is not smoking anymore. It is shining. They hear the people cheer and clap.
+
+They feel silly. They laugh. They say, "Sorry, air control. We did not know. We were just playing. Thank you for telling us."
+
+The voice says, "You're welcome, boys. You have good imaginations. But remember, playing is not the same as flying. Flying is serious. You need to learn a lot and be careful. Maybe one day, you can be real pilots. But for now, enjoy your jet and have fun."
+
+Tim and Sam say, "OK, air control. We understand. We will have fun. Bye!"
+
+They seat in their jet and smile. They make noises like zoom and beep. They pretend they are doing a show too. They are happy. They are best friends.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big ladder. They use the ladder to climb up and down, and to make forts and bridges.
+
+One day, Mom says they have to separate their toys. She says they have too many, and they need to share with other kids. Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to give away their toys, especially their ladder.
+
+They try to hide the ladder under the bed, but it is too big. They try to put it in the closet, but it does not fit. They try to cover it with a soft blanket, but it still shows. Mom finds the ladder and says they have to give it away.
+
+Tom and Lily cry. They hug the ladder and say they love it. They beg Mom to let them keep it. Mom says she is sorry, but they have to be generous. She says there are other kids who do not have any toys, and they would be very happy to have the ladder.
+
+Tom and Lily think about this. They wipe their tears and look at each other. They decide to listen to Mom. They say they will give the ladder to other kids, but they ask Mom to help them find a good home for it. Mom smiles and hugs them. She says she is proud of them. She says they can keep some of their toys, but they have to separate the rest. Tom and Lily agree. They hope the ladder will make other kids happy. They say goodbye to the ladder and thank it for the fun. They still love the ladder, but they also love to share.
+Ben and Lily were twins who loved to go to the zoo. They liked to see all the different animals and learn their names. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Meet the Famous Peanut, the Painting Elephant". They were very curious and wanted to see what that meant.
+
+They followed the sign to a big cage where a large gray elephant was holding a brush in its trunk. There were many colors of paint and many papers on the floor. The elephant dipped the brush in the paint and moved it on the paper. It made shapes and lines and dots. Some people clapped and cheered. Some people took pictures.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "The elephant can paint!"
+
+"That's amazing!" Lily said. "I want to paint like that!"
+
+They went closer to the cage and saw a man standing next to the elephant. He had a hat and a badge that said "Zoo Keeper".
+
+"Hello, kids," the man said. "Do you like Peanut's paintings?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+"Peanut is a very special elephant. He learned to paint by himself. He likes to express his feelings and thoughts through colors and shapes. He is very famous. Many people admire his paintings and buy them. He even has his own website!"
+
+"Wow, that's so cool!" Ben said. "Can we talk to Peanut?"
+
+"Sure, you can. He understands some words. You can say hello, thank you, or good job. He might even give you a trunk hug if he likes you."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and said hello to Peanut. Peanut looked at them with his big eyes and made a soft noise. He reached out his trunk and touched their heads gently. He gave them each a paper with his painting on it.
+
+"Thank you, Peanut!" Ben and Lily said. "We love your paintings!"
+
+Peanut made another noise and waved his trunk. He seemed happy.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged the papers and thanked the man. They were very happy too. They had met a famous painting elephant and made a new friend. They decided to hang the paintings in their room and admire them every day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find bugs and leaves and sticks. They saw a big log near a pond. They ran to the log and climbed on it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a frog!" Ben said. He pointed to a green frog on a lily pad. "Can we catch it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, frogs are rare. We should not bother them. They are happy in the pond."
+
+Ben nodded. He liked frogs, but he did not want to make them sad. He looked around and saw a red flower. He picked it and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily, this is for you. It is pretty like you," he said.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked flowers, and she liked Ben. She took the flower and gave him a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind. Do you want to share my snack?" she said.
+
+She opened her backpack and took out a banana and a cookie. She broke them in half and offered one half to Ben.
+
+"Yes, please, Lily, I am hungry. You are very generous," he said.
+
+They ate their snack on the log and watched the frog and the fish. They were happy and they were friends.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of toys, but his favorite was a red car. He liked to make the car go fast and make loud noises. He pretended he was a driver and he had to go to many places.
+
+One day, it was his birthday. He was very happy because he was four years old now. He had a cake with four candles and a big present. He opened the present and saw a new toy. It was a blue car, bigger and shinier than his red car. He was very excited and thanked his mom and dad.
+
+He wanted to play with his new car right away. He took it to his room and put it on the floor. He made the car go fast and make loud noises. He pretended he was a driver and he had to go to many places. He was having a lot of fun.
+
+But then, he saw his red car on the shelf. He felt sad. He loved his red car. He had played with it for a long time. He did not want to forget it. He did not want it to feel lonely. He picked up his red car and hugged it. He said, "I still love you, red car. You are my friend."
+
+He decided to play with both cars. He made them go fast and make loud noises. He pretended they were drivers and they had to go to many places. He was having more fun. He smiled and said, "This is the best birthday ever. I have two cars and they are both my friends."
+
+He did not know that his mom and dad were watching him from the door. They were proud of him. They saw that he was a kind and happy boy. They said, "He is not an ordinary boy. He is a special boy. We love him very much." They hugged each other and smiled. They did not scream, but they felt like screaming. They were very happy.
+Lily liked to add things. She added blocks to make towers. She added stickers to make pictures. She added beads to make necklaces. She had a lot of fun adding things.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to add something new. She saw her mom's coat in the closet. It was big and soft and had buttons. Lily thought it would be fun to add something to the coat. She got some scissors and some glue and some paper.
+
+She cut the paper into shapes. She glued the shapes to the coat. She added stars and hearts and circles and squares. She added a lot of shapes. She was very happy with her work.
+
+She put on the coat and ran to show her mom. She said, "Look, mom, I added something to your coat. Do you like it?"
+
+Her mom looked at the coat. She saw the shapes. She saw the glue. She saw the scissors. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You ruined my coat. You can't add things to my coat. That's not nice. That's not organized. That's a mess."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not mean to ruin the coat. She did not know her mom would be mad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to add something. I thought it would be pretty."
+
+Her mom sighed. She hugged Lily. She said, "I know, sweetie. You like to add things. But you have to ask before you add things to other people's things. And you have to be careful with scissors and glue. They can be dangerous. And you have to be organized. You have to put things back where they belong. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go and clean up this mess. And maybe we can find something else you can add things to. Something that's yours."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls on the carpet. The carpet was old and had many holes and stains, but Lily did not mind. She pretended that the carpet was a magic land where her dolls had adventures.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said that they had to move to a new house. Lily was sad and scared. She did not want to leave her carpet and her dolls. She hoped that the new house would have a carpet too, and that she could take her dolls with her.
+
+When they arrived at the new house, Lily saw that it was big and bright. She ran inside and looked for a carpet. She found one in her new room. It was soft and fluffy and had many colors. Lily smiled and put her dolls on the carpet. She said, "Hello, carpet. You are very pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" The carpet did not answer, but Lily felt that it was happy. She hugged her dolls and said, "Don't worry, dolls. We will have fun here. This is our new magic land." She hoped that the carpet and the dolls liked the new house as much as she did.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat, a carrot nose and a scarf. The scarf is red and warm.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Tom says. "He is so big and nice!"
+
+"Yes, he is!" Mia says. "Let's give him a name. How about Bob?"
+
+"Bob is a good name. Hello, Bob!" Tom says. He hugs the snowman.
+
+The snowman does not hug back. He is cold and still.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They want the snowman to be happy.
+
+"Maybe he needs a song," Mia says. "Do you know a song, Tom?"
+
+"Yes, I do. It is a snowman song. Do you want to sing with me?"
+
+"OK, let's sing!"
+
+Tom and Mia sing a song about the snowman. They sing loud and happy. They clap their hands and dance.
+
+The snowman hears the song. He feels warm and happy. He smiles and winks.
+
+Tom and Mia are surprised. They see the snowman smile and wink.
+
+"Wow, he likes our song!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, he does!" Mia says. "He is our friend!"
+
+They run to the snowman and hug him. The snowman hugs them back. He is not cold and still anymore.
+
+They all laugh and play. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big red thing on a green plant. It looked yummy.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a fruit," Lily said.
+
+They went closer to the plant. They saw that the red thing had tiny seeds on it. It smelled sweet.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Tom wondered.
+
+"Let's try," Lily said. She picked one of the red things and took a bite. It was juicy and tasty. She smiled.
+
+"Wow, this is good. Try it, Tom," she said. She gave him another red thing.
+
+Tom took a bite too. He liked it. He wanted more. He picked another red thing and ate it. Then he picked another one and another one. He ate them all.
+
+Lily was confused. She wanted some more too. But there were no more red things on the plant. Tom had eaten them all.
+
+"Tom, why did you eat them all? That was not nice. You should share," she said.
+
+Tom did not answer. He felt sick. His tummy hurt. He had eaten too many red things. He started to cry.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She ran away to find her mom.
+
+Tom was alone and in pain. He wished he had not eaten so many red things. He wished he had shared with Lily. He learned a hard lesson.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and castles. But they do not like to share. They fight over the blocks and knock down each other's creations.
+
+One day, Mom gives them a new toy. It is a measure. It has numbers and a long tape. Mom says they can use it to see how big things are. Tim and Sam are curious. They want to try the measure.
+
+Tim takes the measure and runs to his tower. He pulls the tape and says, "Look, my tower is ten. It is very big. It is bigger than yours." He points to Sam's bridge.
+
+Sam is angry. He grabs the measure and says, "No, my bridge is bigger. It is twelve. You are lying. Give me the measure." He pulls the tape and tries to take it from Tim.
+
+Tim and Sam tug and pull and yell. The measure breaks. The tape snaps and the numbers fall off. Tim and Sam are sad. They look at the broken measure. They look at Mom. Mom is not happy.
+
+Mom says, "You boys are naughty. You did not share. You did not care. You broke the measure. It was a rare toy. It was a gift from Grandma. Now you have no measure. And no blocks. Go to your rooms and think about what you did."
+
+Tim and Sam go to their rooms. They are sorry. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had not broken the measure. They wish they had played nicely. They wish they had said sorry. They wish they had a measure.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. But today, the sky is dark and loud. It is a storm. Sara and Ben are scared of the storm.
+
+They run inside the house and find their mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making cookies. She sees Sara and Ben and smiles.
+
+"Hello, my jolly twins. Why are you so wet?" she asks.
+
+"Mom, there is a storm outside. It is noisy and scary. We don't like it," Sara says.
+
+"Me too. I don't like it," Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs Sara and Ben and says, "Don't worry, my jolly twins. The storm will go away soon. It is just water and wind. They can't hurt you. You are safe with me."
+
+She gives them each a cookie and a glass of milk. She says, "Let's go to the living room and read a book. We can have fun inside while the storm is outside."
+
+Sara and Ben nod and follow Mom. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They listen to Mom read a funny story. They laugh and forget about the storm.
+
+Soon, the storm is over. The sky is clear and bright. Sara and Ben look outside and see a rainbow. They smile and clap.
+
+"Look, Mom. A rainbow. It is so pretty," Sara says.
+
+"Can we go outside and play now?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, put on your boots and coats. It is still wet outside."
+
+Sara and Ben put on their boots and coats. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+They run outside and play with their toys. They are happy and jolly. They don't scream anymore. They sing and shout. They love the rainbow. They love Mom. They love each other. The end.
+Anna liked to play with her doll, Lily. She gave Lily tea and cake and sang to her. Anna wanted to invite her friend, Ben, to play with Lily too. She asked her mom if she could invite Ben on Tuesday. Her mom said yes and smiled.
+
+On Tuesday, Anna was very happy. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She brushed Lily's hair and put a bow on it. She waited for Ben to come. She heard a knock on the door. It was Ben!
+
+Ben said hello to Anna and her mom. He saw Lily on the table. He said, "What a silly doll! It has no eyes and no nose!" He grabbed Lily and threw her on the floor. Lily's head broke and her bow fell off. Anna was very sad and hurt. She cried and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Ben was very mean and rude. He should not have done that to Lily. You don't have to play with him anymore. We can fix Lily and make her better."
+
+Anna nodded and sniffed. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and Lily. I don't like Ben. He is not my friend." She picked up Lily and her bow and kissed them. She hoped Lily would be okay. She learned that not all people are nice and that she should be careful who she invites to play.
+Ben likes to play with his toy train. It is red and shiny and makes a loud noise. He puts it on the track and pushes it around. He pretends he is the driver and goes to many places.
+
+One day, he sees his mom ironing a shirt. She has a big iron that is hot and steamy. She moves it on the shirt and makes it smooth and perfect. Ben is curious and wants to try.
+
+He waits until his mom goes to the kitchen. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the iron. He does not know it is very hot and can hurt him. He grabs it and feels a sharp pain. He drops it and cries.
+
+His mom hears him and runs to him. She sees the iron on the floor and the burn on his hand. She is scared and angry. She hugs him and says, "Ben, what did you do? You should never touch the iron. It is dangerous and can hurt you. You are a naughty boy."
+
+She takes him to the sink and puts cold water on his hand. She puts a bandage on it and gives him a kiss. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I love you. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The iron is not a toy. It is for making clothes perfect. You have a toy train that is shiny and fun. You can play with that. But never touch the iron again. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry. I won't touch the iron again. I love you too. Can I play with my train now?"
+
+His mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But be careful and stay away from the iron. And don't forget to say sorry to your shirt. You made a hole in it with the iron."
+
+Ben says, "Sorry, shirt. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are perfect too." He picks up his train and goes to his room. He plays with it and forgets about the iron. He is happy and his hand feels better. He learns a lesson and never touches the iron again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to go on the swings and the slide. But they do not like the big seesaw. The big seesaw is scary. It goes up and down very fast.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a new seesaw in the park. It is smaller and slower than the big seesaw. It has a buckle on each seat. The buckle keeps you safe. Anna and Ben want to try the new seesaw.
+
+They go to the new seesaw and sit on the seats. They buckle the buckles. They push with their feet. The new seesaw goes up and down, but not too fast. Anna and Ben smile and laugh. They test the new seesaw. They like the new seesaw.
+
+They play on the new seesaw for a long time. They take turns to go up and down. They have fun. They are glad they tried the new seesaw. They are not scared of the new seesaw. They are brave. They are happy.
+Tommy liked to touch everything in his room. He touched his toys, his bed, his clothes, and his books. He liked to look at the pictures and words in his books. He wanted to learn more and more.
+
+One day, he saw a big bookcase in his daddy's office. It had many books that Tommy had never seen before. He was curious and wanted to touch them. He climbed on a chair and reached for a book. But the bookcase was too high and too heavy. It wobbled and fell on Tommy. He cried out loud.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing?" Daddy ran into the office and saw Tommy under the bookcase. He lifted the bookcase and hugged Tommy. "Are you okay, my boy?"
+
+"I'm sorry, Daddy. I wanted to touch your books. They look so interesting," Tommy said.
+
+"I know, Tommy. You are very intelligent and you love to learn. But you have to be careful. Some books are not for little children. They are too big and too hard. You can hurt yourself or break them. Why don't you ask me first if you want to read a book from my bookcase?"
+
+"Okay, Daddy. I will ask you next time. Can you read me a book now?"
+
+"Sure, Tommy. Let's go to your room and pick a book that you like. I'm proud of you for wanting to read, but you have to be safe and respectful too."
+
+Tommy nodded and smiled. He held Daddy's hand and walked to his room. He touched his books gently and chose one with colorful pictures and simple words. He cuddled with Daddy on his bed and listened to the story. He learned new things and had fun. He was happy.
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she found a big shiny thing in her dad's room. It looked like a cup with a person on top. She wanted to touch it and see what it was.
+
+She climbed on a chair and reached for the shiny thing. But it was too heavy for her and it fell down. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. Lily was scared and sad. She did not mean to break the shiny thing.
+
+Her dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw the broken shiny thing and Lily crying. He was angry and sad too. He said the shiny thing was a trophy that he won for running fast. He said Lily was naughty and had to bathe.
+
+He took Lily to the bathroom and filled the tub with water and bubbles. He said Lily had to wash away the dirt and the bad. Lily did not like to bathe. She said she was sorry and she did not want to wash.
+
+But her dad was kind and gentle. He said he loved her and he was not mad anymore. He said the trophy was just a thing and he could get another one. He said Lily was more important than the trophy. He said he was proud of her for being curious and brave.
+
+He played with Lily in the tub and made her laugh. He gave her a rubber duck and a boat to splash with. He said she was his little champion and he hugged her. Lily felt happy and loved. She said she loved her dad and she liked to bathe.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play nice games, like hide and seek or make believe. Sometimes they play naughty games, like throwing toys or pulling hair.
+
+One day, they are bored. They see the big couch in the living room. It is soft and cozy. Mom and Dad say it is for sitting, not for jumping. But Tim and Mia have an idea.
+
+"Let's play a game," Tim says. "I dare you to jump on the couch."
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She knows it is wrong. But she wants to have fun. And she does not want to lose the game.
+
+"Okay," she says. "But I dare you to jump higher than me."
+
+They run to the couch. They start to jump. Up and down, up and down. They laugh and shout. They do not hear Mom coming.
+
+"Stop!" Mom says. "What are you doing? You are spoiling the couch. And you are making a lot of noise. You are very naughty."
+
+Tim and Mia stop jumping. They look at Mom. They feel bad. They know they did something wrong.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say. "We were just playing a game."
+
+Mom sighs. She is angry, but she loves them. She knows they are just kids.
+
+"A game?" she says. "Well, I have a game for you. It is called cleaning. You have to help me pick up all the toys and pillows you threw. And you have to say sorry to the couch. And no more jumping, ever. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Mia nod. They do not like this game. But they know they have to play it. They say sorry to the couch. They help Mom clean. They learn their lesson. They decide to play nice games from now on.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a big bucket full of worms and snails and beetles. They were very happy.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was calling them to come inside. It was getting dark and cold. Ben and Lily ran to the door. But it was locked. They tried to turn the knob, but it did not move. They were locked out.
+
+They knocked on the door and shouted for mom. But she did not hear them. She was in the kitchen, making dinner. She did not know they were outside. Ben and Lily were worried. They did not like the dark and the cold. They wanted to be inside, with mom and dad and their warm beds.
+
+They looked around for something to unlock the door. They saw a key hanging on a hook by the window. They had an idea. They got a stick and a string from the garden. They tied the string to the stick and the stick to the key. They lifted the stick and the key up to the window. They pushed the key through the window and into the door. They pulled the string and turned the key. The door unlocked.
+

+Sara and Tom started to fight. They pushed and pulled and yelled. They made a big mess. They broke the crayons and tore the pages. They hurt each other.
+
+Mom and dad heard the noise. They came to see what was wrong. They saw Sara and Tom fighting. They saw the broken crayons and torn pages. They were very disappointed and angry.
+
+They said, "Stop fighting. What are you doing? Why did you ruin the crayons and pages? They were a supply for you to have fun and learn. They were attractive and nice. You wasted them. You are naughty and selfish. You have to share and be kind. You have to say sorry and hug each other. You have to clean up the mess. You have no more crayons and pages. You have no more drawing. You have no more fun."
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toy guns in the garden. They like to pretend they are cowboys and cowgirls. They run and hide behind the trees and the flowers.
+
+"Bang, bang, I shoot you!" Tom says, pointing his gun at Lily.
+
+"No, you miss me!" Lily says, dodging his shot. "I shoot you back!"
+
+They laugh and chase each other. They see a big loop hanging from a branch. It is a swing that their dad made for them.
+
+"Look, a loop!" Tom says. "Let's swing on it!"
+
+They take turns to sit on the loop and push each other. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They swing higher and higher.
+
+"This is amazing!" Lily says. "We are flying!"
+
+They giggle and scream with joy. They have so much fun on the loop. They forget about their toy guns. They are happy.

+"I like this balloon!" Ben says. "It is strong and useful. It can carry many things with its nose."
+
+They decide to go in the elephant balloon. They climb into the basket with mom and dad. The man who flies the balloon turns on the fire. The fire makes the air hot. The hot air makes the balloon go up.
+
+"Bye-bye, park!" Anna and Ben wave. "We are going to soar!"
+
+The balloon goes higher and higher. Anna and Ben see the trees and the houses and the cars. They look very small. They see other balloons in the sky. They look like colorful dots.

+
+The clown saw Tim and Kim and smiled. He walked to them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to see a trick?" Tim and Kim nodded. They liked tricks. The clown took out a big sack from his pocket. He said, "In this sack, I have something very special. Can you guess what it is?"
+
+Tim and Kim thought hard. They said different things. "A ball?" "A candy?" "A toy?" The clown shook his head. He said, "No, no, no. It is something much better. Do you want to see?" Tim and Kim said, "Yes, yes, yes."
+
+The clown opened the sack and pulled out a big bunch of balloons. He gave one to Tim and one to Kim. They were happy. They said, "Thank you, clown. You are very nice." The clown said, "You are very welcome. Enjoy the circus." He waved and walked away.

+They see a man. The man is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. He says, "Stop, Rex! Mind me! Come here!" The dog listens. He stops. He goes to the man. The man says, "Sorry, kids. Rex is naughty. He likes to chase things. He does not mean to be bad."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They are safe. They say, "Thank you, mister. Thank you for minding your dog. We are grateful." The man smiles. He says, "You're welcome, kids. What are your names?" Lily and Ben tell him their names. The man says, "Nice to meet you, Lily and Ben. I'm Sam. This is Rex. Do you want to pet him? He is friendly now." Lily and Ben nod. They pet the dog.

+

+
+"Of course, you can. He is your best friend," Tom said. "I will take my car and my ball. Maybe we can play with them outside."
+
+Lila and Tom finished packing and went downstairs. Mom and Dad were waiting for them in the car. They put their bags in the trunk and got in. Mom gave them a hug and a kiss.

+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" Lila said.
+
+"I agree. We are very lucky to be here," Tom said.
+
+They unpacked their bags and explored the cabin. It had a cozy living room, a small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There was also a fireplace, a porch and a swing. Lila and Tom felt very comfortable and happy.
+
+They spent the next few days playing, hiking, fishing, reading and learning about nature. They saw deer, rabbits, squirrels, ducks and butterflies. They heard the songs of the birds and the wind. They smelled the fresh air and the flowers. They tasted the fruits and the fish. They touched the leaves and the rocks. They learned to respect and appreciate nature and its gifts.
+
+They also learned to share, help, listen and say thank you. They helped Mom and Dad with the chores, they shared their toys and books, they listened to their stories and they said thank you for everything. They were kind, polite and grateful.
+
+They had a wonderful time and made many memories. They were sad to leave, but they knew they would come back someday. They packed their bags again and said goodbye to the cabin and the park. They got in the car and drove away.

+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear that was soft and brown. They named him Teddy and hugged him every night.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She told them to leave Teddy at home, because he might get dirty or lost. Ben and Mia did not want to leave Teddy, but they obeyed their mom. They put Teddy on their bed and said goodbye.
+
+While they were gone, a naughty cat came into their room. The cat saw Teddy and wanted to play with him. He jumped on the bed and scratched Teddy with his claws. He tore a strip of fur from Teddy's back and made a hole. He bit Teddy's ear and made it gray. He spoiled Teddy and made him look bad.
+
+When Ben and Mia came back, they ran to their room to see Teddy. They were shocked and sad when they saw what the cat had done. They cried and hugged Teddy. They said, "We're sorry, Teddy. We love you. You're still our favorite toy."
+
+Their mom heard them crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw the cat and the ruined Teddy. She scolded the cat and chased him away. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben and Mia. The cat was very bad. He spoiled your Teddy. I'll try to fix him for you."
+
+She took Teddy and some thread and a needle. She sewed the hole and the strip of fur. She washed the gray ear and made it brown again. She made Teddy look better, but not as good as before. She gave Teddy back to Ben and Mia. They thanked their mom and smiled. They said, "Thank you, mom. You're the best. We don't care if Teddy is not perfect. We still love him. He's still our favorite toy."
+Tom is a cat who likes to taste new things. He sees a red jar on the table. He thinks it is food. He jumps on the table and opens the jar with his paw. He smells something sweet and sticky. He licks his paw and tastes the red stuff. It is very hot and spicy. It hurts his tongue and mouth. He meows loudly and runs away.
+
+But he is too late. The red stuff is hot sauce. It makes his eyes water and his nose run. He feels sick and dizzy. He bumps into a chair and falls down. He sees his owner coming. He is angry. He sees the red jar and the mess on the table. He picks up Tom and puts him in a cage. He says Tom is a bad cat. He says he will take him to the vet. Tom is scared and sad. He wishes he never tasted the red stuff. He wishes he stayed on the floor. He learns a hard lesson. The end.
+Tommy was playing in the garden with his ball. He saw a spider on a flower. He wanted to touch it, but the spider was scared and bit him. Tommy cried out loud. His finger hurt a lot.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help me!" Tommy ran to his mommy, who was sitting on a chair. She saw his finger and hugged him.
+
+"What happened, my sweetie?" she asked.
+
+"A spider bit me, mommy. It was mean and ouchy!" Tommy said.
+
+"Oh, poor Tommy. Don't worry, it will heal soon. Let me see your finger. I have a band-aid and some cream for you." Mommy took Tommy to the bathroom. She washed his finger and put some cream on it. Then she wrapped a band-aid around it.
+
+"There you go. How do you feel now?" she asked.
+
+"Better, mommy. Thank you. You are the best mommy ever." Tommy smiled.
+
+"I love you, Tommy. You are the best son ever. But remember, spiders are not mean. They are just afraid of big people. They don't want to hurt you. They just want to live in their webs and eat bugs. Next time, be gentle and careful with them, okay?" Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, mommy. I will be gentle and careful. I'm sorry, spider. I didn't mean to scare you." Tommy said.
+
+He gave his mommy a big kiss and a hug. Then he went back to the garden with his ball. He saw the spider on the flower again. He waved to it and said, "Hello, spider. I hope you are happy. I am happy too. Bye, spider." The spider waved back with one of its legs and said, "Hello, Tommy. I hope you are well. I am well too. Bye, Tommy."

+
+"In the woods, look!" Sam points.
+
+Mom sees the fire and calls the firemen. She tells Tom and Sam to stay inside and be safe.
+
+Tom and Sam watch from the window. They see the firemen come with big trucks and hoses. They see the firemen spray water on the fire. They see the fire get smaller and smaller.
+
+"Wow, the firemen are brave!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, they are!" Sam agrees.
+
+After a while, the fire is gone. The firemen leave. Tom and Sam go outside with mom. They see the woods are black and gray. They see ash on the ground and in the air.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"This is ash. It is what is left after the fire burns the trees and plants." Mom explains.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Sam asks.
+
+"No, it is dirty and hot. It can hurt you. Come, let's go back inside and wash our hands." Mom says.

+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a white coat, a stethoscope, a bandage, and a toy ambulance.

+"Let's play hospital!" says Ben. He puts on the white coat and the stethoscope. He pretends to be a doctor. Mia nods and takes the bandage and the toy ambulance. She pretends to be a nurse.
+
+They go to the living room and look for patients. They see their teddy bear on the sofa. He has a red ribbon around his neck. "Oh no, teddy is sick!" says Mia.

What is wrong with teddy?"
+
+Mia says, "Teddy has a sore throat. He needs medicine and a hug." Ben nods and takes teddy from the toy ambulance. He puts him on the table and uses the stethoscope to listen to his heart. He says, "Teddy has a strong heart. He is brave. But he needs some honey and water for his throat. And a hug, of course." He gives teddy a spoon of honey and a cup of water. He hugs teddy and says, "You will feel better soon, teddy."
+
+Mia smiles and says, "Thank you, Dr. Ben. You are very intelligent. You know how to help teddy." Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Nurse Mia. You are very kind. You know how to make teddy happy." They hug each other and teddy. They are happy. They like to play hospital.
+One day, Lily and her mom were making cookies in the kitchen. Lily liked to help her mom stir the dough and put it on the tray. She also liked to watch the cookies bake in the oven.
+
+But then, Lily saw something scary. The stove had a big flame on it. It was making a loud noise and a bad smell. Lily did not know what to do. She felt panic in her chest.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, look!" she cried. "The stove is on fire!"
+
+Mom heard Lily and ran to the kitchen. She saw the flame and grabbed a lid. She put the lid on the stove and turned it off. The flame went away.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" Mom asked. She hugged Lily and checked her for burns.
+
+"I'm okay, Mommy," Lily said. She hugged her mom back. "But I was so scared. What happened?"
+
+Mom explained that some oil had spilled on the stove and caught fire. She said it was an accident and they were lucky it was not worse. She said they should always be careful around the stove and never touch it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lily said. "I didn't touch it, I promise."
+
+"I know, sweetie," Mom said. "You did the right thing by calling me. I'm proud of you. And I'm grateful that you're safe."
+
+Mom and Lily smiled at each other. They decided to make some more cookies, but this time they used a different stove. They enjoyed their cookies and their time together. They were happy and grateful.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big potato on the table. Anna wants to make a potato face. She takes a knife and tries to cut the potato.
+
+"Stop, Anna!" Ben says. "That is not safe. You can hurt yourself with the knife."
+
+But Anna does not listen. She cuts the potato too hard. The knife slips and breaks the potato in half. Anna is sad. She wanted a whole potato for her face.
+
+"Look, Anna," Ben says. "You can still make a potato face. You can use both halves of the potato. They are like twins."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She smiles. She likes the idea of potato twins. She finds some eyes, a nose, a mouth, and some hair. She sticks them on the potato halves. She shows them to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben," Anna says. "These are our potato twins. They are broken, but they are still fun. Do you like them?"
+

+Sara liked to jog with her dad every morning. They would jog around the park and see the birds, the flowers and the people. Sara felt happy and strong when she jogged.
+
+One day, Sara saw a girl on a bike. The girl was faster than Sara and her dad. Sara wanted to be faster too. She asked her dad, "Dad, how can I jog faster?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "Sara, you are doing great. You just need to practice and improve. If you jog a little more every day, you will get faster and faster."
+
+Sara nodded and tried to jog more. But she got tired and upset. She felt like she could not catch up with the bike girl. She stopped and said, "Dad, I can't do it. I'm too slow."
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "Sara, don't be upset. You are not too slow. You are just learning. Jogging is not a race. It is a fun way to stay healthy and enjoy the park. The bike girl is not better than you. She is just different. Everyone has their own pace and their own way of doing things. The important thing is to do your best and have fun."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "You are right, dad. I'm sorry I was upset. I want to jog with you and have fun. Can we jog some more?"
+
+Her dad said, "Of course, Sara. Let's jog some more and see what else we can find in the park."
+
+They jogged some more and saw a squirrel, a fountain and a rainbow. Sara felt happy and strong again. She learned that she did not need to compare herself with others. She learned that she could improve by practicing and having fun. She learned that jogging was a good way to spend time with her dad.
+Anna and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. Anna was very excited. She wanted to see the large animals at the zoo. Ben was not so happy. He wanted to stay home and play with his toys.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, not yet. We have to drive for a long time," Mom said.
+
+"Can we play a game?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, what game do you want to play?" Dad asked.
+
+"I spy with my little eye something that is blue," Ben said.
+
+Anna looked around. She saw the sky, the car, and a sign.
+
+"Is it the sky?" Anna guessed.
+
+"No," Ben said.
+
+"Is it the car?" Anna guessed.
+
+"No," Ben said.
+
+"Is it the sign?" Anna guessed.
+
+"No," Ben said.
+
+"Then what is it?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben smiled. He pointed to his shirt.
+
+"It's my shirt!" he said.
+
+Anna frowned. She thought that was not fair.
+
+"That's cheating! You can't spy something that is on you!" she said.
+
+"Yes, I can! It's a game! You're just mad because you didn't guess it!" Ben said.
+
+Anna and Ben started to argue. They raised their voices and made faces at each other.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said. "We're almost there. Why don't you try to remember the last time we went to the zoo? What did you see? What did you like?"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped fighting. They thought about the last trip. They remembered the large animals. They remembered the lion, the elephant, the giraffe, and the monkey. They remembered how they fed the birds and rode the train. They remembered how much fun they had.
+
+"I liked the lion. He was loud and strong," Ben said.
+
+"I liked the elephant. He was big and gentle," Anna said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They realized they had something in common.
+
+"Maybe we can see them again," Anna said.
+
+"Maybe we can take pictures with them," Ben said.
+
+They agreed to share the camera and be nice to each other. They looked out the window and saw the zoo sign.
+
+"We're here!" they shouted.
+
+They got out of the car and ran to the gate. Mom and Dad followed them. They were happy to see their children get along. They hoped they would have a good trip.
+Tom and Anna like to observe animals. They go to the park with their mom and dad. They see many animals: birds, squirrels, dogs, and cats. They also see a big gray animal with a long nose and big ears. It is an elephant.
+
+"Wow, look at the elephant!" Tom says. "It is so big and strong!"
+
+"Yes, and it is also compassionate," Anna says. "Do you know what that means?"
+
+"No, what does it mean?" Tom asks.
+
+"It means it is kind and gentle. It cares for other animals and people. See, it is giving water to the baby elephant with its nose. And it is letting the children ride on its back. It is a good elephant," Anna explains.
+
+"I see. It is a compassionate elephant. I like it. Can we go closer and say hello?" Tom says.
+
+"Sure, but we have to be careful and respectful. We don't want to scare it or hurt it. We have to ask the keeper first," Anna says.
+
+They go to the keeper and ask if they can touch the elephant. The keeper says yes, but they have to follow his instructions. He tells them to approach the elephant slowly and gently, and to stroke its trunk and ears. He also tells them to talk to the elephant softly and say nice things.
+
+Tom and Anna do as the keeper says. They feel the elephant's skin, which is rough and wrinkled. They hear the elephant's breath, which is loud and warm. They see the elephant's eyes, which are brown and wise. They say, "Hello, elephant. You are beautiful and compassionate. We are happy to meet you."
+
+The elephant responds by making a low rumble and lifting its trunk. It wraps its trunk around Tom and Anna and gives them a gentle hug. They giggle and hug the elephant back. They feel the elephant's love and compassion. They are happy and grateful. They thank the elephant and the keeper for the wonderful experience. They wave goodbye to the elephant and go to see other animals. They have a fun and memorable day at the park.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden after dinner. They liked to look at the stars and the moon in the sky. They saw a big, round, yellow moon that was very bright.
+
+"Look, Ben, the moon is glowing!" Anna said, pointing with her finger.
+
+"Yes, it is. It is like a big lamp in the night," Ben said, nodding his head.
+
+They heard a noise behind the bushes. They turned around and saw a big, furry, black cat. The cat had green eyes that were glowing too.
+
+"Wow, the cat has glowing eyes!" Anna said, surprised.
+
+"Maybe it is a magic cat," Ben said, curious.
+
+They walked slowly towards the cat. The cat did not run away. It looked at them with its glowing eyes and made a soft sound.
+
+"Meow," the cat said.
+
+"Hello, cat. What is your name?" Anna asked, smiling.
+
+The cat did not answer. It rubbed its body against Anna's leg. Anna felt its thick fur and its warm breath.
+
+"I think it likes you, Anna," Ben said, happy.
+
+"Can we keep it, Ben? Can we take it home?" Anna asked, hopeful.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. We have to ask Mom and Dad first," Ben said, unsure.
+
+They picked up the cat and hugged it. The cat purred and licked their faces. They carried the cat to the house, hoping that Mom and Dad would let them keep it. They liked the cat with the glowing eyes.
+Lily liked to swing on the big swing in the park. She felt happy when she went up and down in the air. She liked to see the trees and the sky and the birds. She swung with her mom or dad or her friend Ben.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new thing in the park. It was a big bulb that hung from a wire. It was shiny and round and had many colors. Lily wanted to see it better. She asked her mom if she could swing closer to the bulb.
+
+Her mom said no. She said the bulb was not for swinging. She said the bulb was for a show at night. She said the bulb could be hot or break or hurt Lily. She said Lily had to swing away from the bulb.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not understand why she could not swing near the bulb. She thought the bulb was pretty and fun. She did not want to swing away from the bulb. She wanted to swing closer to the bulb.
+
+She waited until her mom was not looking. She swung harder and harder. She swung higher and higher. She swung closer and closer to the bulb. She reached out her hand to touch the bulb.
+
+But the bulb was not nice. The bulb was harsh. The bulb was hot and bright and loud. The bulb burned Lily's hand and made a big noise. The bulb broke and fell to the ground. Lily screamed and cried. Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She said Lily was naughty and silly and hurt. She said Lily had to go home and put ice on her hand. She said Lily had to say sorry for breaking the bulb.
+
+Lily was sorry. She was sorry for not listening to her mom. She was sorry for breaking the bulb. She was sorry for hurting her hand. She did not like the bulb anymore. She liked the swing better. She said she would never swing near the bulb again. She said she would swing with her mom or dad or her friend Ben. She said she would be good and careful and happy.

+"Look at my tower, Mia!" Tom says. "It is very tall and strong. I used all the big cubes."
+
+Mia looks at Tom's tower. She is not happy. She wants some big cubes too. She only has small cubes and they are not enough. She thinks Tom is not fair.
+
+"I want some big cubes too, Tom!" Mia says. "Share with me!"
+
+"No, Mia!" Tom says. "They are mine! Go find your own cubes!"
+
+Mia is angry. She wants to knock down Tom's tower. She thinks that will make him share. She pushes one of the big cubes at the bottom of the tower.
+
+The tower starts to shake. Tom sees what Mia is doing. He is scared. He likes his tower. He does not want it to fall.
+
+"Stop, Mia! Stop!" Tom says. "You will make my tower fall!"
+
+But Mia does not stop. She pushes another big cube. The tower wobbles more. Some cubes fall off.
+
+Tom tries to save his tower. He holds the cubes with his hands. He hopes the tower will not fall.
+
+But it is too late. The tower falls down with a loud crash. Cubes fly everywhere. Some hit Tom and Mia. They both cry.
+
+They hear their mom coming. She heard the noise. She is worried.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom says. "Why are you crying?"
+
+Tom and Mia point at each other. They both say, "He/she did it!"
+
+Mom looks at the mess. She sees the cubes. She sees one cube that is not like the others. It is yellow and round. It has a sticker on it. It says "Lemon".
+
+Mom picks up the lemon cube. She knows what it is. It is not a cube. It is a candy. It is very sour. She does not like it.
+
+"Who brought this candy here?" Mom says. "This is not a cube. This is not for playing. This is for eating. But it is very sour. It will make your mouth hurt."
+
+Tom and Mia look at the lemon cube. They do not know what it is. They have never seen it before. They wonder how it got there.
+
+They look at each other. They stop crying. They are curious.
+
+"Can we try it, Mom?" They say.
+
+Mom smiles. She thinks maybe they will learn a lesson. She gives them each a small piece of the candy.
+
+"Be careful," She says. "It is very sour."
+
+Tom and Mia put the candy in their mouths. They make a face. They spit it out. They say, "Yuck!"
+
+They do not like the candy. It is too sour. It makes their mouth hurt.
+
+They look at each other. They laugh. They are not angry anymore.
+
+They hug Mom. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tom/Mia."
+
+Mom hugs them back. She says, "It's okay. I'm glad you are friends again. But next time, please share your cubes. And don't bring any more sour candy here."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They say, "Okay, Mom."
+
+They pick up their cubes. They start to build again. They share their cubes. They have fun. They do not want any more sour candy. They are happy.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw big clouds in the sky. They heard a loud sound. It was thunder.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tim. It will rain soon," Lily said.
+
+"No, I want to stay. I like rain. It is fun," Tim said.
+
+Lily did not like rain. She did not like to get wet and cold. She ran to the house. Tim stayed in the yard. He waited for the rain.
+
+Soon, the rain came. It was not a little rain. It was a wild rain. It poured and poured. It made puddles and streams. Tim laughed and jumped in the water. He did not care that he was wet and cold. He thought he was having fun.
+
+But then, it got dark. It was night. Tim could not see well. He heard more thunder and saw flashes of light. It was lightning. He got scared. He wanted to go inside. He wanted to be with Lily.
+
+He ran to the house. He knocked on the door. He called for Lily.
+
+"Lily, Lily, let me in. I am sorry. I don't like rain. I don't like night. I don't like wild. I want to be with you."
+
+Lily heard Tim. She opened the door. She saw him wet and cold and scared. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him and said,
+
+"It's okay, Tim. I am here. Come inside. We can be warm and dry and safe. We can be together."
+
+Tim and Lily went inside. They changed their clothes. They drank hot cocoa. They cuddled on the couch. They watched the rain and the night and the wild from the window. They were happy. They were twins who liked to play outside. But they also liked to be inside. They liked to be with each other.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big iron train in the attic. It was shiny and had wheels and a whistle. They wanted to play with it, but they could not agree on who would be the driver.
+
+"I want to be the driver!" Lily said. "No, I want to be the driver!" Ben said. They both pulled the train hard, trying to take it from each other. But the train was old and weak, and it broke in half with a loud snap. The twins were shocked and dropped the pieces.
+
+"Oh no, we split the train!" Lily cried. "It was so pretty and fun!" Ben sobbed. They felt very sad and sorry for what they had done. They wished they had shared the train instead of fighting over it.
+
+They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was their mom, who had heard the noise. She saw the broken train and the tears on their faces. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. I know you didn't mean to break the train. It was an accident. We can try to fix it together, or we can find another toy to play with. The important thing is that you love each other and share. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We love each other and we will share." They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." They felt a little better and smiled. Mom smiled too and said, "That's good. Now, let's go downstairs and have some cookies. Maybe we can find a new game to play with the train pieces. What do you think?"
+
+Lily and Ben liked that idea. They followed mom downstairs, holding the train pieces in their hands. They hoped they could make something fun and new with them. They learned their lesson and decided to be nice and share from then on.
+Lily and Tom are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. But Tom wants to have all the blocks for himself. He takes some blocks from Lily's tower and makes it fall down.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily says. "Give me back my blocks!"
+
+"No, they are mine!" Tom says. He puts the blocks in his pile and tries to build a bigger tower.
+
+Lily is angry. She wants to have some blocks too. She tries to grab some blocks from Tom's pile, but he pushes her away.
+
+"Stop it!" Tom says. "Go away!"
+
+Lily falls on the floor and starts to cry. She is sad and hurt. She wants to play with Tom, but he is mean to her.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Lily crying and Tom with a big pile of blocks.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asks. She looks at Tom and Lily.
+
+Tom does not answer. He knows he is in trouble. He was not sharing and he was not kind.
+
+Lily answers. She tells Mom what Tom did. She says he took her blocks and pushed her.
+
+Mom is not happy. She tells Tom to say sorry to Lily and to share the blocks. She says playing with blocks is fun, but playing with friends is more fun.
+
+Tom feels bad. He knows he was wrong. He says sorry to Lily and gives her some blocks. He asks her if she wants to play with him.
+
+Lily smiles. She says yes. She forgives Tom and helps him build a bridge. They play together and have fun.
+
+Mom is glad. She sees Tom and Lily playing nicely. She says they are good kids. She says sharing is caring and kindness is happiness.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pile of mud. It is brown and wet and sticky. Tom and Jen think it looks fun. They ask their moms if they can play with the mud.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while," their moms say. "And be careful not to get too dirty."
+
+Tom and Jen run to the mud. They take their cars with them. They drive their cars in the mud. They make tracks and splashes and noises. They laugh and shout.
+
+"Look at my car!" Tom says. "It is red and fast and muddy!"
+
+"Look at my car!" Jen says. "It is yellow and slow and muddier!"
+
+They have a lot of fun. But soon, their cars are covered in mud. They can barely see the colors. Their hands and clothes are also dirty. Their moms call them.
+
+"Time to go, Tom and Jen!" their moms say. "We have to clean you and your cars."
+
+Tom and Jen stop playing. They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"That was fun!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Jen says.
+
+They pick up their cars. They walk to their moms. They are ready to go home. They are ready to play with their cars again. But next time, maybe not in the mud.
+Sam and Mia went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Sam and Mia wanted to see the kangaroos most of all. They liked how they jumped and hopped.
+
+They found the kangaroo pen and ran to the fence. They saw big kangaroos and small kangaroos. Some had pouches with babies inside. Sam and Mia watched them with big eyes.
+
+"Look, look!" Sam said. "That kangaroo is bald!"
+
+Mia looked where Sam pointed. She saw a kangaroo with no fur on its head. It looked funny and sad.
+
+"Why is it bald?" Mia asked.
+
+Mom and Dad came closer and heard Mia's question.
+
+"Sometimes, kangaroos lose their fur when they are old or sick," Mom explained. "But they are still happy and healthy. They have friends and food and a home."
+
+"Can we be its friend?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, you can," Dad said. "But you have to be gentle and quiet. Kangaroos are shy and scared of loud noises."
+
+Sam and Mia nodded. They smiled at the bald kangaroo and waved their hands. The kangaroo looked at them and twitched its ears. It seemed to say hello. Sam and Mia felt happy. They watched the kangaroo until it was time to go.
+Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play together. They had a plan to make a pretend restaurant in the backyard. They found some old plates, cups, spoons and forks in the garage. They also found a bottle of wine that Sam's dad had left there.
+
+"Look, we have wine for our restaurant!" Sam said, holding the bottle.
+
+"Wow, that's fancy!" Lily said. "Let's put it on the table."
+
+They set up the table with a cloth, some flowers and the wine. They pretended to be the chef and the waiter, and made some food out of mud and grass.
+
+"Welcome to our modern restaurant!" Sam said, smiling. "What would you like to order?"
+
+"I would like some pasta and salad, please," Lily said, playing along.
+
+"Coming right up!" Sam said, and went to the kitchen.
+
+He came back with a plate of mud and grass, and put it in front of Lily. He also poured some wine into a cup for her.
+
+"Here you go, madam. Enjoy your meal," he said.
+
+"Thank you, sir. This looks delicious," Lily said, and took a sip of the wine.
+
+She spat it out right away. It tasted very bad and made her feel sick.
+
+"Yuck! This is not wine, this is poison!" she cried.
+
+Sam looked at the bottle and saw a skull and crossbones on the label. He realized he had made a big mistake.
+
+"Oh no, I'm sorry, Lily! I didn't know it was poison! I thought it was wine!" he said, scared.
+
+Lily started to cry and felt very dizzy. She fell to the ground and didn't move.
+
+Sam ran to get help, but it was too late. Lily was gone. He had killed his friend with his plan. He wished he had never found the bottle of wine. He wished he had never played the restaurant game. He wished he could say sorry to Lily. But he couldn't. He was very sad and sorry. He had a bad ending.
+Lily loved animals very much. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She liked to act like a veterinarian with her stuffed animals. She would pretend to check their ears, their teeth, and their fur. She would give them medicine and bandages if they were sick or hurt.
+
+One day, Lily found a real kitten in her backyard. It was small and dirty and had a wound on its leg. Lily was very happy. She thought it was a gift for her. She ran inside and got her veterinarian kit. She wanted to act like a veterinarian with the kitten.
+
+She took the kitten to her room and put it on her bed. She tried to clean the wound with a wet cloth. She put some cream on it and wrapped a bandage around it. She gave the kitten some water and some food. She said, "Don't worry, kitty. I will take good care of you. You will be better soon."
+
+But the kitten was not happy. It was scared and in pain. It did not like the cloth, the cream, or the bandage. It did not like the water or the food. It did not like Lily. It wanted to go back to its mother. It wanted to be free. It hissed and scratched and bit Lily. It tried to run away.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She did not understand why the kitten did not like her. She thought she was helping it. She thought it would be grateful. She grabbed the kitten and held it tight. She said, "You are a bad kitty. You are ungrateful. You should be happy that I found you. You should be nice to me. You are mine now."
+
+But the kitten was not Lily's. It belonged to someone else. It had a collar with a tag that said, "Milo. If found, please call 555-1234." Lily did not see the collar or the tag. She did not care. She only cared about herself.
+
+The next day, Lily's mom saw the kitten in Lily's room. She saw the collar and the tag. She called the number. She found out that Milo was missing for two days. His owner was very worried. She said, "Please bring him back. He is my best friend. I miss him so much."
+
+Lily's mom was very upset. She scolded Lily. She said, "Lily, you did a very bad thing. You took someone else's kitten. You did not ask for permission. You did not try to find his owner. You hurt him and scared him. You were selfish and cruel. You are not a veterinarian. You are a thief."
+
+Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she made a mistake. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Milo. I just wanted to have a kitten. I just wanted to act like a veterinarian. I didn't mean to be bad."
+
+Lily's mom said, "Lily, you have to learn to respect animals. They are not toys. They are not gifts. They are living beings. They have feelings and needs. They have families and friends. You have to be kind and gentle with them. You have to ask for permission before you touch them. You have to help them if they are lost or hurt. You have to be grateful for their love and trust."
+
+Lily's mom took Lily and Milo to his owner. Lily apologized and gave Milo back. His owner was very happy and relieved. She thanked Lily and her mom. She said, "I'm glad you found Milo. He is very lucky. He could have died from his wound. You saved his life."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She saw that Milo was happy with his owner. She saw that his wound was healing. She said, "You're welcome. I'm sorry I hurt him. I hope he forgives me."
+
+Milo looked at Lily and meowed. He licked her hand. He forgave her.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Milo. You are very nice. I hope you are happy."
+
+Milo purred and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very brave. I hope you are happy too."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Don't take what is not yours. Respect animals and their owners. Be kind and grateful.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom said she was going to bake a cake for dad's birthday. Lily and Tom wanted to help, so mom gave them each a bowl and some ingredients.
+
+Lily followed mom's instructions and mixed flour, sugar, eggs and milk in her bowl. She stirred well and poured the batter into a cake pan. Tom did not listen to mom and put whatever he wanted in his bowl. He added salt, pepper, ketchup and water. He stirred a little and poured the batter into another cake pan.
+
+Mom put both pans in the oven and set the timer. She told Lily and Tom to wait and not touch anything. Lily and Tom waited patiently, but Tom was curious. He saw a bottle of vanilla extract on the counter and wanted to smell it. He opened the bottle and sniffed. It smelled sweet and nice. He decided to taste it. He put the bottle to his mouth and drank some. It tasted bitter and strong. He made a face and spat it out. He felt sick and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Tom crying and ran to see what was wrong. She saw the bottle in his hand and smelled his breath. She knew he had drunk the vanilla extract. She was angry and worried. She took the bottle from him and gave him some water to drink. She said, "Tom, you should not drink from bottles that are not yours. You could get hurt or sick. You should listen to mom and follow the rules. That is how you learn and help."
+
+Lily hugged Tom and said, "I'm sorry you feel bad, Tom. Next time, let's do what mom says. She knows best." Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again." Mom hugged them both and said, "I love you, Lily and Tom. You are my good helpers. Now let's check on the cake."
+
+They opened the oven and saw the cakes. Lily's cake was golden and fluffy. Tom's cake was dark and thick. It looked like a brick. Mom said, "Lily, your cake looks delicious. You did a great job. Tom, your cake looks...interesting. You did a creative job. But I think dad will like Lily's cake better. Maybe you can try again another day."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Happy birthday, dad!" They helped mom decorate Lily's cake with frosting and sprinkles. They put candles on it and waited for dad to come home. They sang happy birthday to him and gave him the cake. Dad was happy and proud. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are my sweet helpers. I love you and your cake." He cut a slice for everyone and they enjoyed it. Tom said, "Lily, your cake is yummy. Can I have some more?" Lily said, "Sure, Tom. You can have some more. But next time, let's bake together." Tom agreed and said, "Yes, let's bake together. And let's listen to mom. She knows best." Mom smiled and said, "That's right, my loves. You know best." They hugged and laughed and had a good time.
+Sara loved to fly her kite. It was a beautiful kite, with many colors and a long tail. She liked to watch it dance in the sky, high and free.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They found a good spot to fly the kite. Sara ran with the kite, and let go of the string. The kite flew up, up, up, until it was a small dot in the blue.
+
+But then, a strong wind came. It blew the kite away, far from Sara. Sara was sad. She cried and cried. She wanted her kite back. She felt like she lost a friend.
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her. They said they were sorry. They said they would buy her a new kite. But Sara did not want a new kite. She wanted her old kite. It belonged to her. It was special.
+
+They looked for the kite, but they could not find it. It was gone. Sara was very sad.
+
+But then, something amazing happened. A bird flew by, with something in its beak. It was the kite! The bird had found it, and brought it back to Sara. It dropped the kite gently on the ground, near Sara. Then it flew away, with a happy chirp.
+
+Sara was so happy. She could not believe it. She ran to the kite, and picked it up. She hugged it, and thanked the bird. She said she was sorry for letting it go. She said she loved it.
