"She is my doll, not yours!" + +Tom laughed and said, "No, she is mine now. I like her hair. It is soft and long. I want to remove it and make a wig for myself." + +Anna was very angry. She ran to Tom and grabbed Lily from his hands. She hugged her doll and checked her hair. It was still there, but it was messy and tangled. She glared at Tom and said, "You are a bad brother. You made Lily sad. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not remove her hair. It is part of her. She needs it to be pretty and happy." + +Tom shrugged and said, "I don't care. It is just a doll. It is not real. It does not have feelings." + +Anna did not listen to him. She took Lily and the pin and ran to her room. She closed the door and locked it. She combed Lily's hair and put the pin back in it. She kissed her doll and said, "I am sorry, Lily. I love you. You are my best friend. You are real to me. And you are beautiful." +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play at the beach. They see the big water. It is the ocean. The ocean is blue and wet and salty. + +Tim and Mia want to swim in the ocean. They put on their swimsuits and run to the water. They splash and laugh and have fun. They see fish and shells and seaweed. + +But Tim is clumsy. He trips on a rock and falls. He hurts his knee. It bleeds. He cries. Mia runs to him and hugs him. She thinks he is brave. + +She helps him get up and walk to the sand. She finds a towel and a band-aid. She cleans his knee and puts the band-aid on it. She thinks he is better. + +Tim smiles and says thank you. He thinks she is kind. He thinks she is his best friend. They hug and sit on the sand. They watch the ocean and eat ice cream. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a big box of toys. Sara likes to bury her toys in the sand. She thinks it is fun to dig them out later. Ben likes to zoom his cars and planes on the grass. He makes loud noises with his mouth. + +"Look, Sara, I can make my car fly!" Ben says, holding his car in the air. + +"That's nice, Ben, but I like to bury my toys better," Sara says, digging a hole with her shovel. + +"Why do you like to bury your toys? They will get dirty and you will lose them," Ben says, landing his car on the ground. + +"I won't lose them, I know where they are. And I can wash them later. I like to bury my toys because it is fun and I can be independent," Sara says, putting her doll in the hole and covering it with sand. + +"What does independent mean?" Ben asks, looking confused. + +"It means I can do what I want and I don't need anyone to help me," Sara says, smiling. + +"Oh, I see. Well, I like to zoom my toys because it is fun and I can be independent too," Ben says, picking up his plane. + +"Okay, then, let's play together. You can zoom your toys and I can bury my toys. And we can be independent and happy," Sara says, holding out her hand. + +"Okay, Sara, let's play together. You are a good friend," Ben says, taking her hand. + +They play in the backyard until their mom calls them for lunch. They are independent and happy. +Tom and Lily were eager to go to the park. They wanted to play on the swings and slide and see the ducks. But their mom said they had to wait. She had to finish some work on her laptop. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Tom asked. He was bored of looking at books and toys. + +"Not yet, sweetie. I'm sorry. I have to delay our trip a little bit longer. Just a few more minutes, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily sighed. She looked out the window and saw a big red bus. It had a sign that said "Band". She wondered what that meant. + +"Mom, what is a band?" Lily asked. + +"A band is a group of people who play music together. They have instruments like guitars and drums and sing songs. Sometimes they go on buses to travel to different places and perform for other people," Mom explained. + +"Wow, that sounds fun. Can we see the band?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe. If they stop at the park, we can watch them for a while. But we have to go soon, before it gets dark," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We will be patient. But please hurry up," Tom said. + +Mom smiled and closed her laptop. She put on her coat and shoes and grabbed her keys and bag. + +"Alright, kids. Let's go. Maybe we will see the band at the park. And if not, we will still have a lot of fun," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily cheered and ran to the door. They were eager to go to the park. They hoped to see the band and hear their music. They loved music. And they loved their mom. +Sara likes to be organized. She has a place for everything in her room. She has a box for her toys, a shelf for her books, and a drawer for her clothes. She likes to keep her room clean and tidy. + +One day, Sara's mom brings home a surprise for her. It is a pet! Sara is very happy to see a small, fluffy kitten in a basket. She hugs the kitten and names it Fluffy. + +"Thank you, Mom! I always wanted a pet!" Sara says. + +"You're welcome, Sara. But you have to take good care of Fluffy. You have to feed him, play with him, and clean his litter box." Mom says. + +"I will, Mom. I will be a good pet owner. I will be organized." Sara says. + +Sara puts Fluffy in her room and shows him around. She gives him some food and water, a toy mouse, and a soft blanket. She also sets up a litter box in the corner. + +"See, Fluffy? This is your new home. You have everything you need here. And this is your place. You can sleep here, or on my bed, or on the chair. But not on the shelf, or the box, or the drawer. Those are for my things. OK?" Sara says. + +Fluffy meows and rubs his head against Sara's hand. He likes Sara and his new home. He is a happy kitten. + +Sara and Fluffy play and cuddle for a while. Then Sara remembers that she has to do her homework. She takes out her notebook and pencil and sits at her desk. + +"Fluffy, I have to do my homework now. You can stay here and watch me, or you can nap on the blanket. But please don't bother me. I have to concentrate. OK?" Sara says. + +Fluffy meows and jumps on the desk. He is curious and playful. He wants to see what Sara is doing. He sniffs the notebook and the pencil. He bats the pencil with his paw. He tries to catch the eraser. + +"Fluffy, no! Stop that! You are making a mess. You are not being organized. You are being naughty." Sara says. + +She tries to push Fluffy away, but he is too fast and agile. He runs around the desk, knocking over the lamp, the clock, and the vase. He makes a lot of noise and trouble. + +"Fluffy, stop! You are ruining my homework. You are not a good pet. You are a bad pet." Sara says. + +She starts to cry. She is angry and sad. She loves Fluffy, but he is not listening to her. He is not respecting her things. He is not being organized. + +Mom hears the commotion and comes to Sara's room. She sees the mess and the tears. She picks up Fluffy and hugs Sara. + +"What happened, Sara? Why are you crying?" Mom asks. + +"Mom, Fluffy is a bad pet. He made a mess of my homework. He didn't listen to me. He didn't stay in his place. He didn't follow the rules. He is not organized." Sara says. + +Mom smiles and wipes Sara's tears. She puts Fluffy on the floor and sits next to Sara. + +"Sara, Fluffy is not a bad pet. He is a kitten. He is young and curious and playful. He doesn't know the rules yet. He doesn't understand what you need. He needs time and patience and love. He needs you to teach him and guide him and praise him. He needs you to be his friend." Mom says. + +Sara looks at Fluffy. He looks at her with his big, green eyes. He purrs and rubs his head against her leg. He is sorry and cute. + +"Mom, you are right. Fluffy is not a bad pet. He is a good pet. He is my pet. I love him. I will teach him and guide him and praise him. I will be his friend. I will be organized." Sara says. + +She hugs Fluffy and kisses his nose. He licks her cheek and snuggles in her arms. He is happy and grateful. + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. She is proud and happy. + +"Good, Sara. I'm glad you understand. You are a good pet owner. You are a good daughter. You are organized." Mom says. + +They clean up the mess and fix the homework. They play and cuddle some more. They have a good time. + +Sara and Fluffy are happy. They have everything they need. They have each other. They are organized. +Lily liked to crawl in the garden. She crawled under the roses, over the grass, and around the trees. She saw many bugs and flowers. She said hello to them and smiled. + +One day, she found a hose. It was long and green and had a hole at the end. Lily wondered what it was for. She crawled to the hose and touched it. It was cold and wet. She liked it. + +She crawled along the hose until she reached the tap. She saw a handle on the tap. She turned the handle and water came out of the hose. Lily was surprised and happy. She laughed and played with the water. She made it go up and down and sprayed it on the plants. + +The water made a nice sound. It was peaceful. Lily felt calm and cozy. She crawled back to the hose and hugged it. She said thank you to the hose and the water. She closed her eyes and listened to the water. She fell asleep in the garden. +Lily and Max were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys, and books. Lily had a pink suitcase and Max had a blue one. They were very excited to see new places and people. + +They went to the airport and got on a big plane. The plane flew in the sky for a long time. Lily and Max looked out the window and saw clouds, mountains, and water. They played games and read stories to pass the time. + +When they arrived, they got off the plane and looked for their luggage. They saw many suitcases on a belt, but they could not find theirs. They asked a man who worked there where their luggage was. He said, "I'm sorry, but your luggage is rare. It did not come on this plane. It went to another place by mistake. We will try to find it and send it to you." + +Lily and Max felt sad and angry. They had nothing to wear or play with. They did not want to go to their hotel. They wanted their luggage back. Mom and Dad tried to cheer them up. They said, "Don't worry, we will get your luggage soon. We can buy some new clothes and toys for now. We can still have fun and see new things. Maybe we will meet someone who will make us happy." + +They took a taxi to their hotel. On the way, they saw a big park with flowers, trees, and animals. They saw a sign that said, "Welcome to the Zoo". Lily and Max loved animals. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go to the zoo. Mom and Dad said, "Yes, we can go to the zoo tomorrow. Maybe we will see some rare animals there." + +The next day, they went to the zoo. They saw lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, elephants, and more. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They also met a friendly girl who worked at the zoo. She said, "Hi, I'm Mia. I take care of the animals here. Do you want to see something special?" She took them to a cage where there was a big, furry, brown animal. She said, "This is Bruno. He is a bow bear. He is very rare. He can bow with his head and his paws. He likes to do it when he sees nice people. Do you want to see him bow?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They smiled and said, "Yes, please." Mia said, "OK, watch this." She took out a fish and threw it to Bruno. Bruno caught the fish and ate it. Then he looked at Lily and Max and bowed with his head and his paws. Lily and Max clapped and laughed. They said, "Wow, he is amazing. He is so cute. He is the best bear ever." Mia said, "He likes you too. He is happy to meet you. Do you want to pet him?" She opened the cage and let them in. Lily and Max petted Bruno and hugged him. Bruno licked their faces and bowed again. + +Lily and Max felt very happy. They forgot about their luggage. They made a new friend and saw a rare animal. They thanked Mia and Bruno and said, "We love you. You made our trip wonderful." Mia said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you came. You are very nice. You made Bruno happy too. He wants to give you something." She took out two small bows from her pocket and put them on Lily's and Max's heads. She said, "These are bow bear bows. They are rare too. They are for you to remember Bruno and the zoo. He hopes you will come back and visit him again." Lily and Max said, "Thank you. We will. We will never forget you and Bruno." They hugged Mia and Bruno and said goodbye. + +They went back to their hotel. They saw their luggage waiting for them. They were happy to see their clothes and toys, but they were happier to have their bows. They put them on their suitcases and said, "These are our rare luggage. They have bow bear bows. They remind us of our trip and our friends. We are very lucky." Mom and Dad smiled and said, "Yes, you are. We are too. We are proud of you. You are brave and kind. You can make the best of any situation. You can find joy and beauty in rare things." They hugged Lily and Max and said, "We love you. You are our rare treasures." Lily and Max said, "We love you too. You are our rare parents." They all bowed and laughed. They had a wonderful trip. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the bath. They had many toys and bubbles and soap. They made funny shapes and sounds with the soap. But one day, they had a big fight. Ben wanted the blue soap and Lily wanted the pink soap. They both said, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" and did not share. + +"Stop it, Ben! The pink soap is mine!" Lily said. + +"No, it is mine! You have the yellow soap!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not talk nicely. They did not listen. They made a big mess. The soap flew out of the tub and landed on the floor. The water splashed everywhere. The bubbles popped. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see. She was very grumpy. She saw the soap and the water and the twins. She said, "What are you doing? You are making a big mess! You are wasting the soap! You are not sharing! You are not being kind!" + +She took away the soap and the toys. She dried the twins and put them in their beds. She said, "No more bath time for you today. You need to learn to share and talk nicely. Maybe tomorrow you will be better." + +Ben and Lily felt sad and sorry. They had no soap and no toys and no fun. They had only each other. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, twin. We will share and talk nicely. We will be kind." + +But it was too late. Mom was still grumpy. She said, "Maybe tomorrow. But not today. Today you have to stay in your beds and think about what you did." + +The end. + +Moral value: Sharing and talking nicely are important. If you fight and waste and make a mess, you will lose your fun and make your mom grumpy. +Lily and Max were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Lily and Max loved Grandma and Grandpa very much. They had a big suitcase with clothes and toys and gifts for them. + +At the airport, there were many people and planes and noises. Lily and Max held Mom and Dad's hands and followed them to the check-in counter. There, they gave their suitcase to a nice lady who put it on a belt. The lady gave them four tickets and said, "Have a nice trip!" + +Then, they followed Mom and Dad to a big gate where they waited for their plane. Lily and Max saw many planes taking off and landing. They wondered which one was theirs. They also saw a big sign that said, "Gifted Kids Zone". They asked Mom and Dad what it meant. + +Mom and Dad smiled and said, "That's a special place for kids who are very smart and talented. They can play and learn and have fun there. You two are gifted kids, you know. You are very good at many things, like drawing and singing and counting and reading." + +Lily and Max felt proud and happy. They said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love you. Can we go to the Gifted Kids Zone and see what they have?" + +Mom and Dad nodded and said, "Sure, why not? But we have to stay close and watch the time. We don't want to miss our plane." + +Lily and Max followed Mom and Dad to the Gifted Kids Zone. There, they found many books and puzzles and games and toys. They had a lot of fun playing and learning and making new friends. They also saw a big clock that told them when their plane was ready. They did not forget to follow Mom and Dad to the gate when it was time to board. They were very excited to fly in the sky and see Grandma and Grandpa soon. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with pictures of volcanoes. Volcanoes are mountains that make fire and smoke. They look scary and cool. + +"Wow, look at this volcano!" Ben says. He points to a red and orange picture. "It is so big and hot!" + +"I want to see too!" Anna says. She tries to grab the book from Ben. But Ben holds it tight. He does not want to share. + +"No, it is my turn!" Ben says. He pushes Anna away. Anna falls on the floor. She feels sad and angry. + +"Ben, that is not nice!" Anna says. She starts to cry. "You are a bad friend! You have to share!" + +Ben hears Anna cry. He feels sorry. He knows he was wrong. He likes Anna. He does not want to make her cry. + +"Anna, I am sorry," Ben says. He gives the book to Anna. "Here, you can have the book. I am sorry I pushed you. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna stops crying. She looks at Ben. She sees he is sorry. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Ben," Anna says. She takes the book. "I forgive you. We can be friends again. Do you want to see the volcano with me?" + +"Yes, please," Ben says. He sits next to Anna. They look at the book together. They see many volcanoes. Some are big, some are small. Some are red, some are black. Some make fire, some make rocks. + +They learn a new word: lava. Lava is the fire that comes out of volcanoes. It is very hot and sticky. It can burn things. + +"Look, this is lava!" Anna says. She points to a yellow and brown picture. "It looks like honey, but it is not sweet. It is bitter!" + +"Bitter?" Ben says. He does not know this word. "What is bitter?" + +"Bitter is when something tastes bad," Anna says. "Like lemon or soap. Do you like bitter things?" + +"No, I do not like bitter things," Ben says. "I like sweet things. Like candy or cake. Do you like sweet things?" + +"Yes, I like sweet things too," Anna says. "Maybe we can have some candy or cake later. After we finish the book." + +"Okay, that sounds good," Ben says. They smile at each other. They are happy. They are friends. They like volcanoes. But they do not like lava. Lava is bitter. +Anna was sick. She had a fever and a cough. Her mom put a thermometer in her mouth to check her temperature. Anna did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard. She wanted to spit it out. + +"Anna, you have to be obedient and keep the thermometer in your mouth for a minute," her mom said. "Then we will know how sick you are and what to do." + +Anna tried to be obedient, but she did not like the minute. It was too long. She felt bored and unhappy. She looked at the clock on the wall. It had a big hand and a small hand. The big hand moved very slowly. The small hand did not move at all. + +"Mom, can I quit now?" Anna asked. She made a whining sound. + +"Not yet, Anna. Just a little more," her mom said. She looked at the thermometer. It had numbers on it. The numbers were high. That meant Anna had a high fever. + +Anna sighed. She wished she could quit. She wished she could play with her toys or watch her favorite show. She wished she could feel better. She closed her eyes and waited for the minute to end. +Anna and Ben were playing with snow in the garden. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. Anna liked the snowman very much. She gave him a hug and said, "You are my friend, Mr. Snowman." + +Ben was envious of Anna and the snowman. He wanted to have a friend too. He looked around and saw a small snowball on the ground. He picked it up and said, "This is my friend, Mr. Snowball. He is better than your snowman. He can roll and bounce and fly." He threw the snowball in the air and caught it again. + +Anna did not like Ben's words. She felt angry and sad. She said, "That is not a friend, that is just a snowball. It will melt soon and be gone. My snowman will stay with me for a long time. He is a real friend." + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He wanted to show off his snowball. He said, "Watch this, Mr. Snowball can do a trick. He can hit your snowman and make him fall." He aimed the snowball at the snowman and threw it hard. + +But Ben did not throw the snowball well. He missed the snowman and hit the hat instead. The hat fell off the snowman's head and landed on the ground. The snowman looked sad without his hat. Anna gasped and ran to the snowman. She picked up the hat and put it back on his head. She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Snowman. Ben is mean and silly. He does not know how to be a friend." + +Ben felt sorry too. He saw that he had hurt Anna and the snowman. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, Mr. Snowman. I was wrong and rude. I did not mean to hurt you. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?" + +Anna and the snowman looked at Ben. They saw that he was sincere and regretful. They smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, we can forgive you. Yes, we can be friends." + +Ben smiled and hugged Anna and the snowman. He said, "Thank you, Anna. Thank you, Mr. Snowman. You are both very kind and nice. You are both my friends." + +They all played together happily in the snow. They made another snowman and gave him a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Mr. Snowball. They said, "Now we have four friends. We are very lucky and happy." +Anna liked to play the piano. She had a small piano in her room. She learned how to make music with it. She liked to play songs for her mom and dad. + +But her big brother Ben did not like the piano. He thought it was too loud and annoying. He was grumpy when Anna played the piano. He wanted to watch TV or play games. + +One day, Anna was playing the piano in her room. She was happy and singing. But Ben came in and said, "Stop it! Stop it! You are making too much noise! I can't hear anything!" + +Anna said, "No! I like to play the piano! It is fun and pretty! You are mean and rude!" + +Ben said, "No, you are silly and noisy! You need to grow up and stop playing with toys! The piano is a toy for babies!" + +Anna said, "No, it is not! The piano is a real instrument! You don't know anything about music! You are just jealous because you can't play the piano!" + +Ben said, "I don't care about the piano! I care about the TV! You are ruining my show! Go away!" + +Anna said, "No, you go away! This is my room and my piano! You are not the boss of me!" + +They started to yell and push each other. They were very angry and loud. + +Mom and dad heard them and came to the room. They saw them fighting and said, "Stop it! Stop it! What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Ben tried to explain, but they both talked at the same time. Mom and dad could not understand them. They said, "Enough! Enough! You both need to calm down and listen. Fighting is not the answer. You need to respect each other and share. Anna, you can play the piano, but not too loud and not too long. Ben, you can watch TV, but not too loud and not too much. You both need to learn how to get along and be nice. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. Yes, dad. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom and dad said, "We love you too. Now, give each other a hug and say sorry." + +Anna and Ben hugged and said sorry. They felt better and smiled. They decided to play the piano and watch TV together. They learned how to be friends and have fun. They were not grumpy anymore. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They also liked to look inside the fridge and see what they could find. + +"Can I have some cheese, please?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Sure, let me get it for you," Ben said. He opened the fridge and reached for the cheese. But then he saw something scary. There was a big spider on the cheese! + +"Ah! Spider!" Ben screamed. He dropped the cheese and slammed the fridge door. He ran to Lily and hugged her. + +"What's wrong, Ben?" Lily questioned. She was worried about her brother. + +"There's a spider in the fridge! A big, scary spider!" Ben said. + +"A spider? Where?" Lily said. She was curious and brave. She wanted to see the spider. + +She walked to the fridge and opened the door. She looked for the cheese and the spider. But she didn't see anything. + +"Ben, there's no spider here," Lily said. "Maybe it was just a shadow. Or maybe it ran away." + +"Really?" Ben said. He peeked inside the fridge. He didn't see the spider either. He felt silly and relieved. + +"Maybe you're right, Lily," Ben said. "Maybe it was just a shadow. Or maybe it ran away." + +He smiled at his sister and picked up the cheese. + +"Here, you can have some cheese," Ben said. "But let's check for spiders first, okay?" + +"Okay," Lily said. She laughed and took the cheese. They checked for spiders and then ate the cheese. They were happy and not scared anymore. They continued to play in the kitchen. They didn't know that the spider was hiding behind the milk. It was waiting for another chance to scare them. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their ball. They throw the ball to each other and run after it. They are lively and happy. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. He sees the ball and wants to play too. He runs to the ball and grabs it with his teeth. He shakes the ball hard and makes it pop. Sara and Ben are scared and sad. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouts at the dog. "Give it back!" + +The dog growls and barks at Ben. He does not like Ben. He jumps at Ben and bites his waist. Ben screams and falls to the ground. He bleeds and hurts. + +Sara cries and runs to Ben. She tries to help him. She looks for help. She sees a man with a phone. She calls to him. + +"Please, mister, help us! The dog bit my brother! He needs a doctor!" + +The man looks at Sara and Ben. He sees the dog and the ball. He shakes his head and walks away. He does not care. He is mean. + +Sara and Ben are alone. They are scared and sad. They have no ball and no help. They have a bad day. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they find a big, hairy teddy bear under a tree. It has a hole in its tummy and some stuffing is coming out. + +"Look, a teddy bear!" Anna says. "Can we keep it?" + +"Sure, but it is broken. We need to repair it," Ben says. He takes the teddy bear and looks for a needle and thread. + +Anna follows him to the house. She sees her mom in the kitchen. "Mom, can we have a needle and thread?" she asks. + +"What for, sweetie?" her mom asks. + +"We want to repair a teddy bear. We found it in the garden. It is big and hairy," Anna says. + +Her mom smiles. "That's very kind of you. Here you go, but be careful with the needle. Don't hurt yourself or the teddy bear," she says. She gives them a needle and thread and some extra stuffing. + +Anna and Ben go back to the garden. They sit on the grass and start to sew the hole in the teddy bear's tummy. They put some stuffing inside and make a knot. They look at the teddy bear and smile. + +"Hello, teddy bear. We are your new friends. We repaired you. Do you like it?" Anna says. + +The teddy bear does not say anything, but it looks happy. It has two shiny eyes and a big nose. It is soft and warm. + +Anna and Ben hug the teddy bear. They feel happy too. They have a new friend and they did a good thing. They have peace in their hearts. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of prunes that Grandma gave them. They like to eat prunes, but they also like to make things with them. + +"Look, I made a prune necklace!" Anna says, showing Ben her string of prunes. + +"That's nice, Anna. I made a prune tower!" Ben says, pointing to his stack of prunes. + +They are having fun, but then they see a big dog running towards them. The dog is barking and wagging its tail. It looks friendly, but Anna and Ben are scared. + +"Run, Ben, run!" Anna shouts, grabbing Ben's hand. + +They run to the porch, where Grandma is sitting. The dog follows them, but stops at the edge of the garden. It sniffs the air and sees the bucket of prunes. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" the dog says, licking its lips. + +It jumps into the garden and starts to eat the prunes. It eats Anna's necklace and Ben's tower. It eats all the prunes in the bucket. It eats so fast that it does not notice the pits. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the dog says, spitting out the pits. + +The pits hurt its mouth and teeth. It whines and rubs its face with its paws. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" Grandma says, waving her broom. + +She chases the dog away from the garden. The dog runs away, still whining. + +"Are you okay, Anna and Ben?" Grandma asks, hugging them. + +"Yes, Grandma, we are okay. But the dog ate our prunes!" Anna says, crying. + +"And our necklace and tower!" Ben says, crying too. + +"I'm sorry, my dears. That was a naughty dog. But don't worry, I have more prunes in the kitchen. And we can make new things with them. Come on, let's go inside and have some juice and cookies." Grandma says, smiling. + +"Okay, Grandma. Thank you, Grandma." Anna and Ben say, wiping their tears. + +They go inside with Grandma. They have some juice and cookies. They feel better. They make new things with the prunes. They have fun. + +But they do not forget the dog. They bury the pits in the garden. They hope the dog will not come back. They hope the dog will learn not to eat prunes. They hope the dog will not hurt its mouth again. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park together. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to dive into the big pile of leaves. + +One day, they saw a new pile of leaves near the hedge. It was very big and colorful. They ran towards it, ready to dive in. But they did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". + +They jumped into the pile and felt something hard and prickly. It was not leaves, it was branches and thorns. They hurt themselves and started to cry. They tried to get out, but they were stuck. + +A man came and saw them. He was the gardener. He was angry and said "Why did you dive into my hedge? I was trimming it and you ruined it. And you hurt yourselves too. You should have read the sign and listened to the rules." + +He helped them out of the hedge and gave them some bandages. He said "Next time, be careful and respectful. Do not dive into things you do not know. You could get hurt or damage something. It is better to play with what you have and be thankful." + +Ben and Lily said they were sorry and thanked the gardener. They learned their lesson and never dived into unknown piles again. They still played in the park, but they only dived into the leaves they knew were safe and fun. They had incredible times together and were happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bridge over a stream. They want to cross the bridge. + +"Can we go on the bridge?" Lily asks Tom. + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. "But be careful. The bridge is old and shaky." + +They hold hands and walk on the bridge. They hear the water flowing under them. They see ducks and fish in the stream. They are happy. + +But then, the bridge starts to creak and wobble. Tom and Lily are scared. They run to the other side of the bridge. + +"Are you okay?" Tom asks Lily. + +"I'm okay. Are you okay?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I'm okay. That was scary!" Tom says. + +They hug each other. They watch the bridge. It does not fall down. It is still fine. + +They decide to go back to the park.

Do you need anything?" + +"Hello, prince," the princess doll said. "I am glad you are here. I need your help to find the magic flower. It can make anyone happy." + +"Why do you need the magic flower?" the prince doll asked. + +"Because I am gloomy," the princess doll said. "I miss my family and my home.

"It wants to hurt us!" + +"No, Ben, we can stop it!" Lily said. "We have guns. We can shoot it!" + +They pointed their toy guns at the skeleton and made loud noises. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Come with me." + +She took the prince by the hand and led him out of the cave. She showed him the way back to his castle. The prince was happy and thanked her. He said, "You are my friend. Will you come and play with me again?" She said, "Yes, I will. But don't tell anyone. It is our secret." + +They hugged and said goodbye. The prince went back to his castle.

You have your train," Amy said. + +"But I want to see how the bow looks on my train. Please, Amy, just for a minute," Tim said. + +Amy did not want to share her bow. She liked it too much.

He won't give it back," Amy said. + +"She won't let me play with her bow, mom. She is selfish," Tim said. + +Mom looked at the train and the bow. She saw that they were both nice toys, but they were not meant for each other. She had an idea. + +"Tim, Amy, listen to me. I know you both like your toys, but you have to share and be kind. How about this? Tim, you can play with Amy's bow for a little while, but then you have to give it back to her. Amy, you can play with Tim's train for a little while, but then you have to give it back to him. That way, you can both try something new and have fun. What do you think?" she said. + +Tim and Amy thought about it. They did not like the idea at first, but they also did not want to make their mom angry. They agreed to try it. + +"Okay, mom. We will share and be kind," they said. + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She helped them swap their toys and showed them how to play with them.

She said they could play for a little while, but they had to come to the table soon or the pie would get cold. + +Tim and Sam played with the car for a long time. They made it go fast and slow, left and right, up and down. They had fun, but they did not notice that the sun was going down and the sky was getting dark. They also did not notice that their mom was calling them to come to the table. They did not hear her voice because they were too busy with the car. + +Finally, mom came to their room and took the car away. She said they had to come to the table now or they would not get any pie. Tim and Sam were angry and sad. They did not want to give up the car. They tried to resist and pull the car back, but mom was stronger. She said they had been very rude and selfish. She said they had to learn to share and to obey. She said they had to eat their dinner and then go to bed without the car. + +Tim and Sam followed mom to the table, but they did not say sorry. They did not look at the pie. They did not want to eat it. They only wanted the car. But when they got to the table, they saw that there was no pie left. Mom had eaten it all by herself. She said it was very good and very rare. She said she was sorry, but they had missed their chance. She said maybe next time they would listen and come to the table when she asked them. + +Tim and Sam realized they had made a big mistake.

They wished they had not resisted and had come to the table when mom asked them. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to mom and hugged her. They said they would share and obey from now on. Mom smiled and forgave them. She said she loved them and she had a surprise for them. She brought out another pie that she had hidden in the oven. She said it was for them, but they had to promise to eat it and to play nicely with the car. Tim and Sam promised and thanked mom. They ate the pie and it was very good and very rare. They played with the car and they took turns and they did not fight. They were happy and mom was happy. They had a good night. +Anna and Ben are in school. They sit at a big table with other kids.

They played with the gems and had fun. +Lila and Ben were friends who lived in a hut near the forest. They liked to play and explore together, but sometimes they argued over toys and food. One day, they found a big basket of apples in the forest. They were very happy and wanted to take them home. + +"Let's share the apples," Lila said. "You can have half and I can have half." + +"No, I want more apples," Ben said. "I found them first. You can have only one." + +"That's not fair," Lila said. "You are not a good friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Lila ran away, crying. Ben took the basket and went back to the hut. He ate some apples, but he felt lonely and sad.

What a nice apple you have. Can I have a bite?" + +Lila was scared of the fox, but she remembered what her mother had taught her. She said, "No, thank you. This is my apple.

He said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very generous and good. You have a big heart. I will not hurt you. I will be your friend." + +Lila and the fox shared the bread and cheese. They talked and laughed and had fun. Lila felt happy and forgot about Ben and the apples. + +Later, Lila and the fox went back to the hut. They saw Ben sitting outside, looking sad and bored. He had eaten all the apples, but he still felt hungry and sick. He saw Lila and the fox and felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "Lila, I'm sorry. I was mean and greedy. I should have shared the apples with you. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?" + +Lila smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I forgive you. We can be friends again. But you have to learn to care for others and not only for yourself. Sharing is good. It makes you and others happy. Look, I have a new friend. This is the fox. He was hungry and I gave him some food. He is very nice and friendly. He can be our friend too." + +Ben was happy and grateful. He said, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. And hello, fox. You are welcome to our hut.

It's so shiny and delicate," she said, holding it. + +Dad smiled and hugged her. + +"I understand, Sara, but you know that screws are not toys. They are for fixing things, and they can be dangerous if you swallow them or hurt yourself with them. And you also know that sharing is caring. If you have something nice, you can let your brother see it and play with it too. That way, you can both enjoy it and have fun together. Do you understand?" he said, gently. + +Sara nodded and looked at Ben. + +"Ben, I'm sorry, I was mean to you. Do you want to see the screw?" she said, offering it to him. + +Ben smiled and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Sara, you are a good sister. The screw is very pretty, but you can have it back.

Sam did not like prune juice at all. + +Sam put his tongue in the bowl and tasted the prune juice. He made a face and spat it out. He was very angry and confused.

She had left the bowl on the table and gone to play outside. + +Sam wanted to get back at Liz for tricking him. He decided to knock the bowl off the table and make a mess.

He tried to pick up his red blocks. + +Lily and Ben started to fight over the blocks. They pushed and pulled and yelled at each other. They did not hear their mom coming into the room. + +"What is going on here?" their mom asked. She saw the mess of blocks and the angry faces of Lily and Ben. "Why are you fighting over the blocks? You have enough blocks to share and play nicely." + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They knew they had been bad. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We were not nice to each other." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you are sorry. But you need to learn to share and respect each other's things.

She looks around, but she can't find it. She feels like crying. + +Her mom and dad come to her. They see that she is sad. They hug her and ask her what is wrong. Anna tells them about the bird. They listen and nod. They tell her that the bird is called a parrot, and that it is not from here. It came from a faraway place, where there are many palm trees and other parrots. + +They tell her that the parrot might come back to the park, or it might fly away to another place. They tell her that she can look for it again, or she can enjoy the other birds in the park. They tell her that they love her and that they are proud of her for being curious and brave. + +Anna feels better. She smiles and hugs them back. She still misses the parrot, but she also likes the other birds. She decides to look for it again, but also to watch the other birds.

They liked to play with machines. They had many machines in their room. Some machines made noise, some machines had lights, some machines moved. + +One day, they saw a new machine in the shop.

And this machine is too expensive," Mom said. + +"But we really want it, Mom. Please, please, please," Sam begged. + +Mom shook her head. "No, I'm sorry. You have to choose. You can keep your old machines, or you can trade them for the new machine. But you can't have both." + +Tom and Sam looked at each other. They did not want to give up their old machines. They loved their old machines. But they also wanted the new machine. It was hard to choose. + +They thought for a long time. Then they said, "OK, Mom. We will trade our old machines for the new machine." + +Mom was surprised. "Are you sure? You won't regret it?" + +"Yes, we are sure. We want the new machine," Tom and Sam said. + +Mom sighed.

They watched the screens. + +But the new machine was not fun. It was boring. It did not make noise. It did not have lights. It did not move. It only showed numbers and words.

They said, "Mom, we made a bad choice. We want our old machines back. Can we have our old machines back, Mom?" + +But Mom said, "No, you can't. You made your choice. You have to live with it. Maybe you will learn to like the new machine. Or maybe you will learn to play with something else. But you can't have your old machines back. They are gone." + +Tom and Sam were very sad. They did not learn to like the new machine. They did not play with something else. They just sat in their room and looked at the new machine. They did not play with each other.

"It is my turn to choose a toy." + +They started to argue and pull the toy car. The shopkeeper saw them and was angry. He came out and shouted at them. + +"Stop that! You are breaking the toy car! If you want it, you have to pay for it!" + +But Lily and Tom did not have any money. They only had some ash in their pockets. They had found it in the fireplace at home. They thought it was magic dust. + +"Can we pay with this?" Lily asked, holding out some ash. + +"No, you can't! That is not money! That is just dirt!" the shopkeeper said. "Go away or I will call your mom!" + +Lily and Tom felt sad and scared. They ran away from the shop. They did not get the toy car. They did not talk to each other.

Then you can fly again." + +She took the box to her room and made a cozy cell for Blue. She put some soft cloth and some sticks in the box. She also gave him some seeds and berries.

Can you help me up?" + +Ben nods and helps Anna up. He gives her a band-aid from his pocket. He puts it on her knee. He smiles and kisses her cheek. + +"OK, Anna, let's see the view. But be careful. Hold my hand." + +They hold hands and finish the climb. They reach the top of the hill. They see the park, the trees, the lake and the sky. They see the sun shining and the clouds moving.

Sara asks. "We are not done playing." + +"No, you need to clean up now," Mom says. "It is not good to leave a mess. It can make bugs come. And it is not nice to look at. Cleaning up is part of playing. You can play more after lunch." + +Sara and Ben sigh. They do not like cleaning up. But they know Mom is right.

He pulls and pulls, but the dress is too tight. He hears a loud snap. He has broken the dress. + +Lily sees what Ben has done. She is very angry. She snatches the doll from Ben and yells at him. + +"Ben, you are so mean! You broke my doll's dress! I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +She runs to her room and slams the door. Ben feels very sorry. He wants to make Lily happy again. He thinks of an idea. + +He goes to the kitchen and finds some paper and tape. He cuts and folds the paper into a new dress for the doll. He uses the tape to wrap it around the doll. He hopes Lily will like it. + +He knocks on Lily's door and says, "Lily, I'm sorry I broke your doll's dress. I made a new one for her. Can you please forgive me?" + +Lily opens the door and sees the doll. She sees the paper dress. It is not as pretty as the old one, but it is colorful and creative. She sees that Ben tried to fix his mistake. She smiles and hugs him. + +"Thank you, Ben. That was very nice of you. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me again?" + +"Yes, please. I'm sorry I was mean. You are a good sister," Ben says. + +They hug and go back to the living room. They play with their toys and share them. They are happy again. +Tim and Sue are friends who live on a farm. They like to play with the animals, especially the cows. One day, they decide to get some milk from the cows. They take a bucket and go to the barn. + +"Hello, cows!" Tim says. "Can we have some milk, please?" + +The cows moo and nod. They are friendly and gentle. Tim and Sue find a cow with a big udder and start to squeeze it. Milk comes out and fills the bucket. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Sue says. "And the milk is warm and sweet!" + +They drink some milk and thank the cow. Then they see another cow with a smaller udder. They want to get more milk, so they go to the other cow. + +"Hello, cow!" Sue says. "Can we have some milk, please?" + +But the cow does not moo or nod. She shakes her head and kicks her legs. She is not friendly or gentle. She is sleepy and grumpy. + +"Go away, kids!" the cow says. "I don't have any milk for you. I need to rest and sleep. You are bothering me!" + +Tim and Sue are scared and sad. They drop the bucket and run away. The cow snorts and lies down. + +They go back to their parents and tell them what happened. Their parents hug them and explain. + +"Some cows have more milk than others, and some cows are more tired than others," their mom says. "You have to be careful and respectful when you get milk from the cows. You have to ask them nicely and leave them alone when they say no. They are living beings, not machines." + +Tim and Sue nod and say sorry. They learn their lesson. They promise to be kind and gentle to the cows, and to all the animals. They also promise to share their milk with their friends and family. They are happy and grateful. +Lila was a bird who loved to soar in the sky. She liked to feel the wind on her wings and see the clouds and the sun. She had many friends who were birds too, and they liked to soar with her. + +But Lila was different from her friends. She had a unique shape. Her wings were not round or curved, but straight and pointy. She looked like a triangle. Some of the other birds made fun of her and called her names. They said she was weird and ugly and could not soar as well as them. + +Lila felt sad and lonely. She wanted to be like the other birds and have round or curved wings. She thought she was not good enough to soar in the sky. She stopped flying and stayed on the ground. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. The other birds tried to fly, but they could not. Their round or curved wings could not handle the wind and the rain. They fell to the ground and got wet and cold. + +Lila saw the other birds in trouble. She wanted to help them. She remembered that she had a unique shape. Her wings were straight and pointy. She looked like a triangle. She realized that she could soar in the storm. Her wings could cut through the wind and the rain. She was strong and brave. + +She flew up to the sky and soared in the storm. She found the other birds and helped them. She carried them to a safe place where they could dry and warm up. The other birds thanked her and apologized. They said she was not weird or ugly, but special and beautiful. They said she could soar better than them. They asked her to be their friend. + +Lila was happy and proud. She learned that being different was not bad, but good. She learned that she had a unique shape and a unique gift. She learned that she could soar in the sky and in her heart. + +The moral of the story is: Be yourself and appreciate your uniqueness. You have something special to offer to the world. Don't let others make you feel bad about yourself. You can soar in any situation. +One night, Ben and Lily wanted to see the moon. They put on their coats and hats and went outside. But the door closed behind them and they heard a click. The door was locked! + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "How will we get back in?" + +Lily started to cry. "I want Mommy and Daddy!" she said. + +Ben tried to calm her down. "Don't cry, Lily. Maybe we can find a key. Or maybe we can knock on the window and someone will hear us." + +They looked around the yard, but they did not see a key. They went to the window and knocked, but no one came. They felt cold and scared. + +Then they saw a big, bright moon in the sky. It looked like a friendly face. + +"Look, Lily!" Ben said. "It's the moon! Maybe the moon can help us." + +He waved his hand and shouted, "Hello, moon! Can you help us? We are locked out and we want to go back in!" + +The moon heard Ben and smiled. It said, "Hello, Ben and Lily! I can help you. I can make a loud noise and wake up your parents. Then they will come and open the door for you." + +"Thank you, moon!" Ben and Lily said. + +The moon made a loud noise, like a horn. It went, "Beep, beep, beep!" + +Ben and Lily's parents heard the noise and woke up. They looked out the window and saw their children. + +"Oh, Ben and Lily!" they said. "What are you doing outside? How did you get locked out?" + +They ran to the door and opened it. They hugged Ben and Lily and took them inside. + +"We wanted to see the moon, but the door closed and locked," Ben said. + +"We were scared, but the moon helped us," Lily said. + +They looked at the moon and said, "Thank you, moon!" + +The moon winked and said, "You're welcome, Ben and Lily. Good night!" + +Ben and Lily's parents tucked them in bed and kissed them good night.

She asked her friend Ben to play with her. Ben said yes. They went to the garden. They took turns to push the ball. They laughed and ran. + +But then, Lily saw a cat. The cat was old and gray and fat. It was sleeping on a chair. Lily liked cats. She wanted to pet the cat. She left the ball and went to the cat. She said hello to the cat. + +Ben did not like cats. He wanted to play with the ball. He did not want to share the ball. He was angry. He ran to the ball. He pushed the ball hard. The ball flew in the air. It hit the cat. + +The cat woke up. It was scared and angry. It hissed and scratched. It scratched Lily's face. Lily cried. She was hurt and sad. She ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She put a band-aid on her face. + +Ben was sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He did not mean to scare the cat. He ran to Lily and her mom. He said sorry to Lily. He said sorry to the cat. He gave Lily a hug. He gave Lily his teddy bear. + +Lily smiled. She was not angry. She was still happy. It was her birthday. She had a cake and a dress and a crown. She had many friends and toys. She had a ball and a cat and a teddy bear. She said thank you to Ben. She said thank you to her mom. She said thank you to the cat. She blew out the candles. She made a wish.

They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +Lily said, "Let's go fast and race to the top!" Ben said, "OK, but be careful. The path is not straight and there might be rocks or holes." + +They started to run up the hill, but Lily was faster than Ben. She did not look where she was going and did not listen to Ben. She only wanted to win the race. + +But when she reached a sharp turn, she did not slow down. She tripped over a rock and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Ben heard her cry and ran to help her. He said, "Lily, are you OK? I'm sorry you fell down. Here, let me hug you and wipe your tears." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I was not careful and did not listen to you. I was too fast and did not see the rock." + +Ben said, "It's OK, Lily. We all make mistakes sometimes. But we can learn from them and be better next time. Come on, let's go back home and get a band-aid for your knee." + +They walked back home, holding hands and talking. They did not care who won the race anymore. They only cared about each other. + +The moral of the story is: Being fast is not always good. Sometimes, being careful and listening is more important. And having a good brother or sister is a wonderful thing. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. They had a tent that they made with a big cloth and a pole. They put the pole in the ground and tied the cloth to it. Then they crawled inside the tent and pretended to be explorers. + +One day, a big wind came and blew their tent away. The pole broke and the cloth flew into a tree. Tom and Sam were sad and angry. They wanted their tent back. + +"Let's repair our tent!" Tom said. "We can find another pole and get the cloth from the tree." + +"OK!" Sam said. "But we need a strong pole. The wind is still blowing." + +They looked around and saw a pole near the fence. It was a metal pole that held a sign. The sign said "Danger: High Voltage". + +Tom and Sam did not know what the sign meant. They thought it was just a picture. They pulled the pole out of the ground and carried it to their tent spot. They did not see the sparks and the wires. + +They stuck the pole in the ground and tied the cloth to it. They were happy. They had repaired their tent. + +They crawled inside the tent and smiled. They were explorers again. + +But then, something bad happened. The pole touched the wires and made a loud noise.

They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear. They named him Cocoa, because he was brown and soft. They hugged him and told him stories every night. + +One day, they had a fight over Cocoa. Sara wanted to dress him up in a pink dress, but Ben wanted to make him a pirate. They pulled and tugged at Cocoa, and he ripped in half. Sara and Ben both cried and ran to their mom. + +Mom was sad to see Cocoa torn apart. She said, "You two need to learn to share and be kind. Cocoa is your friend, not your enemy. He loves you both, and he wants you to be happy. Can you unite him and say sorry to each other?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and hugged each other. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Cocoa. We didn't mean to hurt you." Mom smiled and took a needle and thread. She sewed Cocoa back together, and gave him a kiss. She said, "There you go. Cocoa is whole again. He is a very brave bear. He can be a pirate and a princess, or anything else you want. He is your unknown adventure." + +Sara and Ben thanked Mom and took Cocoa to their room. They played with him and made up stories. They said, "We love you, Cocoa. You are our best friend. You are our unite bear." Cocoa smiled and snuggled with them.

One day, they see a big poster. It says: "Come and see the circus! Watch the clowns, the animals and the acrobats perform!" + +Lila and Tom are excited. They want to see the circus. They ask their moms to take them. Their moms say yes. They buy tickets and go to the big tent. + +Inside the tent, there are many people and many sounds. Lila and Tom see the clowns make funny faces and jokes. They see the animals do tricks and roar. They see the acrobats swing and jump in the air. + +Lila and Tom clap and cheer.

She liked to find the right pieces and put them together. She was very good at puzzles. + +One day, Lily saw a new puzzle on the table. It was a puzzle of a big fish. The fish was blue and silver and had a long tail. Lily wanted to solve the puzzle. She looked at the picture on the box and tried to find the pieces that matched. + +She found the piece for the eye, the piece for the mouth, and the piece for the fin. She put them in the right places. She looked for more pieces. She saw a piece that was red and round. She thought it was part of the fish. She tried to fit it in the puzzle, but it did not work. She tried again and again, but it did not fit. + +She looked at the box again. She saw that the red and round piece was not part of the fish. It was a can of tuna. Tuna was a kind of fish that people ate. Lily liked tuna. She felt hungry. She wondered if she could open the can and eat the tuna. + +She picked up the can and tried to open it. But the can was hard and had a sharp edge. She could not open it. She felt sad and frustrated. She wanted to eat the tuna and solve the puzzle. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was her mom.

Are you having fun with the puzzle?" she asked. + +Lily nodded and showed her the can of tuna. She said, "I want to eat tuna. But I can't open it. It's hard and sharp." + +Mom said, "I can help you with that. But first, let's finish the puzzle. Do you know what kind of fish this is?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not know. + +Mom said, "This is a dolphin. A dolphin is a very smart and friendly fish. It can jump and play and make sounds. It is not a fish that people eat. It is a fish that people love and protect. Do you want to see more dolphins?" + +Lily nodded. She liked dolphins. They looked fun and happy. + +Mom said, "Okay, then. Let's solve the puzzle together. And then, we can open the can of tuna and have a snack. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom." + +Mom and Lily worked on the puzzle. They found the pieces for the body, the tail, and the other fin. They put them together. They made the dolphin. Lily was proud and happy. She had solved the puzzle. + +Mom opened the can of tuna and gave Lily a spoon. She said, "Here you go, sweetie. Enjoy your tuna. But remember, not all fish are for eating. Some fish are for watching and learning and caring. Like the dolphins. They are safe and free in the ocean. And we want to keep them that way. Right?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Right. I love dolphins. And I love tuna. And I love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my smart and friendly puzzle solver." +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big dog with a ball. The dog is funny. He jumps and barks and rolls on the grass. + +"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asks Ben. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. He is very big," Ben says. + +They go near the dog and say hello. The dog wags his tail and drops the ball. Lily picks up the ball and throws it. The dog runs after it and brings it back. Ben claps his hands and laughs. + +They play with the dog for a long time. They have fun. But then they hear a loud yell. + +"Lily! Ben!

I am almost as strong as you." + +Tim laughs. He says, "No, Kim, you are not. I weigh more than you. I am stronger. I get the best toy." + +Kim gets angry. She says, "No, Tim, you are not. You are mean. I do not want to play with you." + +They both grab the best toy. They pull and tug. They do not let go. They start to yell and cry. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the garage. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop, Tim and Kim. You are being silly. It does not matter who weighs more. You are both strong and smart. You should share and be nice. Or you will have no toys at all." + +Tim and Kim feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Kim. Sorry, Tim." + +They hug and make up. They decide to share the best toy. They also play with the other toys. They have fun. They are not lonely. They are happy. +Lily loved her dog, Spot. Spot was big and brown and friendly. He liked to play with Lily and her toys.

She ran to get it. She did not see the car on the road. Spot saw the car. He barked and ran after Lily. He pushed her away from the car. But the car hit Spot. Lily heard a loud noise and a cry. + +Lily was scared and sad. She hugged Spot and cried. Her mom and dad came out. They saw what happened. They called the veterinarian. The veterinarian was a nice person who helped animals. They put Spot in the car and drove to the veterinarian. + +At the veterinarian, Lily waited with her mom and dad. They were worried about Spot. The veterinarian came out. He said Spot was hurt, but he would be okay. He needed to stay at the veterinarian for a few days. He gave Lily a bandage for her knee. She had a small scratch from Spot's push. + +Lily said thank you to the veterinarian. She said sorry to Spot. She was ashamed. She should have looked before she ran. She regretted playing with the shiny ball. She loved Spot more than any toy. She promised to be more careful and to take good care of Spot when he came home. Spot licked her face and wagged his tail. He forgave Lily. He loved her too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go to the beach with Mom and Dad. They play in the sand and the water. They have fun. + +One day, Sara finds a big shell.

The well is deep and dark. They cannot see the bottom. Sara and Ben think it is fun to zoom their cars around the well. They pretend the well is a tunnel or a cave. + +"Look, Sara, I can zoom my car faster than you!" Ben says. He zooms his red car near the edge of the well. He is not careful. He zooms too fast. His car slips and falls into the well. He hears a splash. + +"Oh no, Ben, you lost your car!" Sara says. She is sad. She likes Ben's red car. It is shiny and fast.

They washed their hands and sat on the bed. They opened the bag of cookies and ate them. They were delicious. They shared them with their teddy bears and dolls. They had a great time. They loved cookies. And they loved mom. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to cook something for lunch. They looked in the fridge and saw a tube of cheese. They liked cheese. + +"Let's cook the cheese!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They took the tube of cheese and put it in the microwave. They did not know how to use the microwave. They pressed some buttons and waited. + +The microwave made a loud noise. The tube of cheese exploded. Cheese was everywhere. It was hot and sticky. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom and Lily cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and was angry. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. + +"We cooked the cheese!" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy. + +"You are ignorant!" Mom said. "You cannot cook cheese in a tube in the microwave! You could have hurt yourselves!" + +She cleaned the cheese and the microwave. She gave Tom and Lily some bread and jam. She told them to never cook without her help. + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They did not know how to cook. They learned a lesson. They ate their bread and jam and said sorry to Mom. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the woods. One day, they find a cabin. It is old and brown. They want to see inside. + +They open the door. It is dark and dusty. They see a table, some chairs, and a bed. They hear a noise. It sounds like a growl. They are scared. + +They run out of the cabin. They see a big bear. It is angry. It wants to eat them. They scream for help. + +Dad and Mom hear them. They come with a stick. They scare the bear away. They hug Lily and Ben. They are safe. + +They go back to their home. It is nice and warm. They have soup and bread. They tell Dad and Mom about the cabin and the bear. Dad and Mom say they are brave. They say they love them. They tuck them in bed. They kiss them good night. Lily and Ben are happy. They sleep well. +Ben liked to play with his rabbit, Snowy. He gave him carrots and lettuce and stroked his soft fur. Snowy was his best friend and he always made him happy. + +One day, Ben saw that Snowy was not moving much. He looked sad and tired. Ben was worried and called his mom. "Mom, Snowy is sick. He does not want to play or eat. What is wrong with him?" + +Mom came and looked at Snowy. She felt his ears and his nose. She said, "Snowy has a fever. He is suffering. He needs to see the vet. The vet is a doctor for animals. He can help Snowy feel better." + +Ben was scared. He did not want to lose Snowy. He hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Snowy. The vet will make you well. I love you, Snowy. You are my best friend." + +Mom took Ben and Snowy to the vet. The vet was very kind and gentle. He gave Snowy some medicine and a bandage. He said, "Snowy has an infection. He will be fine, but he needs to rest and drink a lot of water. He will be back to his normal self in a few days." + +Ben was relieved and happy. He thanked the vet and said, "Thank you, vet. You are very good. You helped Snowy. He is my best friend." + +Ben took Snowy home and put him in his cage. He gave him some water and some carrots. He said, "Snowy, I am sorry you suffered. I know it was difficult. But you are brave and strong. I am proud of you, Snowy. You are my best friend." +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with Mom and Dad. The lake is big and blue. There are ducks and fish in the lake. + +Tim and Kim want to feed the ducks. They have some bread. They break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces into the water. The ducks swim to the bread. They make loud noises. Tim and Kim laugh. + +But one duck is different. It is white and has a long neck. It is a swan. The swan does not like the bread. It likes plants. It sees Tim and Kim. It thinks they are bad. It swims to them. It hisses. It flaps its wings. + +Tim and Kim are scared. They run to Mom and Dad. They cry. They do not understand. Why is the swan angry? They only want to feed the ducks. They are confused. + +Mom and Dad hug Tim and Kim. They explain. The swan is not a duck. It is a different bird. It does not eat bread. It eats plants. It does not like people. It wants to be alone. It thinks Tim and Kim are trying to hurt it. It is trying to protect itself. + +Tim and Kim listen. They learn. They are sorry. They do not want to hurt the swan. They want to care for the animals. They say sorry to the swan. They do not throw bread anymore. They watch the ducks and the swan from far away. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they have one toy they both love. It is a red car that makes noise and has sparks. The sparks are bright and pretty. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to play with the car at the same time. They both grab the car and pull. They yell and cry. They do not want to share. They want the car for themselves. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Ben, you have to share. The car is for both of you. You can take turns. You can play together. You can have fun." + +Lily and Ben do not listen. They keep pulling the car. The car breaks. The noise stops. The sparks stop. The car is not fun anymore. Lily and Ben are sad. They are sorry. + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay. You can fix the car. You can say sorry to each other. You can be nice. You can be friends. You can spend time together. You can make new sparks. You can have sweet smiles." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play cops and robbers. Tom has a pistol. It is a toy, not a real one. Sam has a hat and a badge. He is the cop. Tom is the robber. + +One day, they play in the park. Tom hides behind a tree. Sam looks for him. He sees Tom's foot. He runs to catch him. Tom sees Sam. He points his pistol at him. He says, "Bang! Bang! You are dead!" + +Sam does not stop. He is brave. He jumps on Tom. He tries to grab his pistol. Tom holds it tight. They wrestle on the ground. Sam kicks Tom in the leg. Tom says, "Ow! That hurts!" + +Sam kicks him again. He gets the pistol. He says, "Ha! I got you! You are under arrest!" + +Tom is sad. He says, "No fair! You cheated! You kicked me!" + +Sam is happy. He says, "No, I did not cheat. I was smart. I was lucky. I am the best cop ever!" + +They get up. They dust off their clothes. They hug. They are still friends. They go to get some ice cream. They share it. They smile. They say, "Let's play again tomorrow!" +Lily loved to watch the birds soar in the sky. She wished she could fly like them, but she had no wings. One day, she saw a big machine in the park. It had a long nose, two wings, and a tail. It looked like a metal bird. + +"Can I go inside?" Lily asked her dad. + +"Sure, sweetie. This is a plane. It can fly very fast and high. Do you want to try?" her dad said. + +Lily nodded. She was excited and curious. She followed her dad into the plane. They sat in two seats and buckled their belts. Lily looked out the window and saw the ground getting smaller and smaller. She felt the plane soar in the air. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily said. "We are flying like the birds!" + +"Yes, we are. But this plane is not as graceful as the birds. It needs a lot of power and fuel to fly. The birds can fly with just their wings and feathers. They are very clever and beautiful," her dad said. + +Lily agreed. She liked the plane, but she loved the birds more. She wondered how they felt when they soared in the sky. She hoped to see them again when they landed. She smiled and enjoyed the ride. +Ben and Lily were playing soldiers in the garden. They had sticks for guns and hats for helmets. They pretended to fight each other and hide behind the trees and bushes. + +"Bang, bang, you're dead!" Ben shouted, pointing his stick at Lily. + +"No, I'm not! You missed me!" Lily said, running away. + +"Yes, I did! You have to surrender!" Ben said, chasing her. + +They ran around the garden, making loud noises and having fun. They came to the fence, where their neighbor, Mr. Jones, was watching them. + +"Hello, children," Mr. Jones said. "What are you playing?" + +"We're playing soldiers, Mr. Jones," Ben said. "We're having a war." + +"A war? That doesn't sound very nice," Mr. Jones said. "Why don't you play something else?" + +"But we like playing soldiers, Mr. Jones," Lily said. "We're independent. We can play what we want." + +Mr. Jones smiled. "I see. Well, I don't want to spoil your fun, but can you please be a bit quieter? I'm trying to read a book." + +"OK, Mr. Jones, we'll try," Ben said. + +"Thank you, children," Mr. Jones said. "Have a good day." + +Ben and Lily nodded and went back to their game. But they decided to lower their voices and not to shoot at each other anymore. Instead, they pretended to march and sing songs. + +"March, march, march, we're the best soldiers in the world," Ben sang. + +"March, march, march, we're the bravest soldiers in the world," Lily sang. + +They marched around the garden, holding their sticks and hats, and smiling at each other. They were still independent, but they also learned to be respectful. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy guns. They had many toy guns of different colors and shapes. They pretended to be soldiers and spies and fought with each other. + +One day, they found a new toy gun in their dad's closet. It was big and black and shiny. It looked very real. Tom wanted to play with it, but Sam said no. He said it was not a toy, it was a real gun. He said it could hurt them or make a loud noise. + +Tom did not listen to Sam. He took the gun and ran outside. He saw a big building with a pointy roof. He thought it was a castle. He wanted to shoot the castle and pretend he was a hero. He did not know the building was a temple, where people prayed and learned. + +He pointed the gun at the temple and pulled the trigger. He heard a loud bang and saw a flash. He felt a pain in his head and fell to the ground. He was dizzy and scared. He did not know what he had done. + +Sam heard the noise and ran outside. He saw Tom lying on the grass, bleeding from his head. He saw the gun next to him. He saw the hole in the temple wall. He saw the people running and screaming. He was shocked and sad. He cried and called for help. He wished he had stopped Tom from taking the gun. He wished they had played with their toy guns instead. He wished they had never found the real gun. +Anna loved to bake with her mom. They made cookies, cakes, pies and muffins. Anna liked to taste the batter and the frosting. She thought they were yummy and sweet. + +One day, Anna and her mom baked a big chocolate cake for dad's birthday. They put it on the table to cool down. Anna wanted to taste the cake, but mom said no. She said they had to wait for dad to come home. Anna was sad, but she listened to mom. + +Anna went to play with her toys in her room. She heard a noise from the kitchen. She ran to see what it was. She saw a big mess on the floor. The cake was gone! There was only a plate and some crumbs. Anna was shocked. She looked around and saw a furry tail under the table. It was Max, her cat. He had eaten the cake! + +Anna was angry and miserable. She yelled at Max. He ran away and hid. Anna cried. She had no cake for dad. She had no taste of chocolate. She had no fun. She felt bad. + +Mom heard Anna crying and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the empty plate. She hugged Anna and said it was okay. She said they could bake another cake. She said Max was naughty, but he didn't know better. She said dad would still love them. She said they could have ice cream instead. Anna felt a little better. She smiled and said sorry to mom. She said she loved her. Mom said she loved her too. They cleaned up the mess and went to the store. They bought more cake mix and ice cream. They baked a new cake and put it in the fridge. They put a sign on the fridge that said "No cats allowed". They waited for dad to come home. They hoped Max would not disappear with the cake again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. They liked to attach different things to their toys and make them look new. + +"Look, I attached a hat to my car. Now it is a car-hat!" Lily said. + +"That is great, Lily! I attached a wheel to my doll. Now it is a doll-wheel!" Ben said. + +They laughed and showed each other their toys. They did not see the thief who was hiding behind the fence. He was looking for something to steal. He saw the toys and thought they were valuable. He waited for a chance to grab them. + +When Lily and Ben went inside to get some juice, the thief jumped over the fence and ran to the toys. He picked up the car-hat and the doll-wheel and put them in his bag. He was about to run away when he heard a loud bark. + +It was Rex, the dog. He saw the thief and did not like him. He ran after him and bit his leg. The thief dropped the bag and screamed. + +"Ow! Ow! Get off me, you bad dog!" he said. + +Lily and Ben heard the noise and came out. They saw the thief and their toys on the ground. They knew what happened. + +"Hey, that is our thief! He tried to steal our toys!" Lily said. + +"Bad thief! Go away!" Ben said. + +They ran to Rex and hugged him. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was a great dog. He saved their toys. + +"Good boy, Rex! You are a hero!" Lily said. + +"Yes, you are the best dog ever!" Ben said. + +They took their toys and went back to the garden. They thanked Rex and gave him a treat. They continued to play with their toys and attach new things to them. They were happy and safe. The thief ran away and never came back. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy train. The train has a switch. The switch makes the train go fast or slow. Tim and Sam take turns to use the switch. + +One day, Tim has an idea. He says to Sam, "Let's weigh the train. We can use the scale in the kitchen. Maybe the train is heavy or light." Sam thinks this is a fun game. He says, "OK, let's go." + +They go to the kitchen and put the train on the scale. The scale shows a number. Tim says, "The train is five. Is that heavy or light?" Sam says, "I don't know. Let's try something else." He looks around and sees a banana. He says, "Let's weigh the banana. Maybe the banana is heavier or lighter than the train." + +They take the train off the scale and put the banana on it. The scale shows a different number. Sam says, "The banana is two. That is less than five. The train is heavier than the banana." Tim says, "You are right. Let's weigh something else." + +They take the banana off the scale and look for another thing to weigh. They see a big cake on the table. The cake looks yummy. It has frosting and sprinkles. Tim says, "Let's weigh the cake. Maybe the cake is heavier or lighter than the train and the banana." Sam says, "OK, let's do it." + +They try to lift the cake and put it on the scale. But the cake is too big and too heavy for them. They drop the cake on the floor. The cake makes a big mess. The frosting and the sprinkles go everywhere. Tim and Sam are shocked. They hear a loud voice. It is their mom. She says, "What are you doing? That cake was for your dad's birthday. It was very important. You ruined it. You are in big trouble." + +Tim and Sam are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing with the scale. We wanted to weigh the train, the banana, and the cake. We didn't mean to make a mess." Mom is angry. She says, "You should not play with the scale. It is not a toy. And you should not touch the cake. It was not for you. You should have asked me first. Now go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tim and Sam go to their room. They are sad. They wish they had not played with the scale and the cake. They wish they had just played with the train and the switch. They learn a lesson. They say to each other, "Next time, we will be more careful and listen to mom." +Sara liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things in her head. She saw animals, colors, stars, and people. Sometimes, she dreamed of flying in the sky with her friends. + +One night, she had a very special dream. She dreamed that she was in a big bubble. The bubble was soft and shiny, and it carried her up and up. She felt happy and free. She looked down and saw the trees, the houses, and the cars. They looked very small. + +But then, the sky became dark. Sara heard a loud noise. It was thunder. She saw flashes of light. It was lightning. She felt scared. The bubble started to shake and move. Sara wanted to go back home. She wanted her mom and dad. + +She closed her eyes and wished very hard. She said, "Please, please, let me wake up." She opened her eyes and saw her room. She was in her bed. She was not in the bubble anymore. She was safe. + +She heard a voice. It was her mom. She came to check on her. She said, "Sara, are you okay? I heard you cry." Sara hugged her mom. She said, "I had a bad dream. I was in a bubble and the sky was dark." Her mom kissed her forehead. She said, "It's okay, sweetie. It was just a dream. You are here with me. I love you." Sara smiled. She said, "I love you too, mom." She felt better. She snuggled with her mom and fell asleep. She hoped to have a good dream. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a penny. Lily wanted to have it. She ran to pick it up. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben shouted. He ran after her. He was angry. + +Lily did not want to share. She put the penny in her pocket. She ran away from Ben. She hid behind a tree. She peeked from behind the tree. She saw Ben looking for her. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Ben called. "Give me back my penny!" + +Lily did not answer. She smiled. She thought she was clever. She took out the penny from her pocket. She looked at it. It was shiny and round. + +But then, a big dog came. It saw Lily and the penny. It barked. It ran to Lily. It wanted to have the penny too. + +Lily was scared. She screamed. She dropped the penny. The dog grabbed it. It ran away with it. + +Lily cried. She lost the penny. She came out from behind the tree. She saw Ben. He was laughing. + +"Ha ha, you are silly, Lily!" Ben said. "You should have shared with me. Now you have nothing. And the dog has the penny. You are embarrassed!" + +Lily felt bad. She wished she had shared with Ben. She learned a lesson. She said sorry to Ben. But Ben did not forgive her. He walked away. He did not want to play with her anymore. + +The end. +Timmy did not like green beans. He thought they were disgusting. He made a face when he saw them on his plate. He pushed them away with his fork. + +"Timmy, you have to eat your green beans. They are good for you," his mother said. + +"No, I don't. I hate green beans. They are yucky," Timmy said. + +His mother sighed. She tried to be patient. She said, "If you eat your green beans, you can have a cookie for dessert. How about that?" + +Timmy looked at the cookie jar. He wanted a cookie. But he did not want to eat the green beans. He shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I refuse to eat the green beans. They are disgusting." + +His mother was not happy. She said, "Timmy, that is not nice. You have to eat what I give you. You are being rude and stubborn." + +Timmy did not care. He crossed his arms. He said, "I don't care. I don't like green beans. I will never eat them." + +His mother did not know what to do. She decided to take away his plate and his cookie. She said, "Fine. If you don't eat your green beans, you don't get a cookie. You can go to your room and think about what you did." + +Timmy was angry. He stomped to his room. He slammed the door. He did not want to eat the green beans. But he also did not want to lose his cookie. He felt sad and hungry. He wished he had listened to his mother. +Tom and Anna are going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and shoes. Mom helps them with their buckles. She says, "Are you ready to go?" + +Tom and Anna nod and smile. They love the park. They run to the car and get in. Mom drives them to the park. She parks the car and says, "Let's go have some fun!" + +Tom and Anna jump out of the car. They see a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a lot of trees. They run to the slide first. They take turns going down. They laugh and shout. They have fun. + +Then they go to the swing. Mom pushes them gently. They feel the wind in their hair. They go higher and higher. They have fun. + +Then they go to the sandbox. They find some shovels and buckets. They dig and build. They make a castle and a tunnel. They have fun. + +Then they go to the trees. They see some red and yellow leaves on the ground. They pick some up and throw them in the air. They watch them fall like rain. They have fun. + +But then Tom sees a big pine cone. He wants to pick it up. He reaches for it. But it is too heavy. He can't lift it. He tries again. He can't lift it. He feels sad. + +He calls Mom. He says, "Mom, I want to pick this up. But it is too heavy. I can't pick it up." + +Mom comes over. She sees the big pine cone. She says, "That is a very big pine cone, Tom. It is too heavy for you. But you can pick up a smaller one. Look, there are some over there. They are not too heavy. You can pick them up." + +Tom looks. He sees some smaller pine cones. He goes to them. He picks one up. It is not too heavy. He can pick it up. He feels happy. + +He shows Mom. He says, "Look, Mom, I can pick this up. It is not too heavy. I can pick it up." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's great, Tom. You can pick that up. You are very strong. You can pick up a lot of things. But not everything. Some things are too heavy. And that's okay. You can still have fun with them." + +Tom nods. He says, "Okay, Mom. I understand. Some things are too heavy. But I can still have fun with them." + +He picks up another pine cone. He gives it to Anna. He says, "Here, Anna. You can pick this up. It is not too heavy. You can pick it up." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. I can pick this up. It is not too heavy. I can pick it up." + +They pick up some more pine cones. They make a pile. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big jug of water and some cups. They wanted to make tea for their dolls and teddies. + +"Can you provide some water for my cup, please?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Sure, here you go," Ben said. He lifted the jug and poured some water into Lily's cup. But he poured too fast and the water spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no, you made a mess!" Lily cried. "The jug is too heavy for you. You have to be careful. The water is precious and the jug is delicate." + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to," Ben said. He felt bad. He looked at the jug and saw a crack on the side. He hoped it would not break. + +"Maybe we should ask Mommy for help," Lily said. "She can provide us with a smaller jug and some tea bags. Then we can have a nice tea party." + +"OK, let's go," Ben said. He put the jug down gently and took Lily's hand. They ran to the house to find Mommy. They hoped she would not be angry with them. They just wanted to have fun. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their mom and dad. They saw many ducks and fish in the water. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can we go closer, mom?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too near the edge," mom said. + +Sam and Lily took some bread from the bag and threw it to the ducks and fish. They laughed when they saw them eat. They wanted to touch them too. + +"Look, Lily, a big fish!" Sam said. He leaned over the edge to reach for it. + +But he slipped and fell into the water. He splashed and cried. He was scared and hurt. + +"Lily, help!" he shouted. + +Lily was scared too. She ran to mom and dad and told them what happened. + +"Sam fell in the lake! He's hurt!" she said. + +Mom and dad ran to the lake. They saw Sam in the water. Dad jumped in and grabbed him. He brought him to the shore. Mom wrapped him in a towel. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" mom asked. + +"I'm okay, mom. But I'm wet and cold and hurt," Sam said. + +He had a cut on his knee and a bump on his head.

I'm glad you're safe. But next time, listen to me and be careful," mom said. + +Sam nodded. He hugged mom and dad. He said sorry to Lily too. + +"It's okay, Sam. I'm glad you're safe too. But don't scare me like that again," Lily said. + +She hugged Sam. They said goodbye to the ducks and fish. They went home with mom and dad. They lay on the couch and watched a movie.

Lily thinks the bird likes her song and plays louder. + +But the bird does not like Lily's song. The bird thinks Lily is making too much noise and wants her to stop. The bird gets angry and flies towards Lily. The bird opens its beak and tries to bite Lily's guitar. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily says. "You are hurting my guitar!" She is scared and mad. She does not want to play with the bird anymore. She pushes the bird away and shoots it with her finger. "Bang, bang!" she says. "Go away, bird!" + +The bird is surprised and scared. It does not like to be shot. It flies away and leaves Lily alone. Lily closes the window and hugs her guitar. She is glad the bird is gone. She does not want to play with birds anymore.

They knew they did something wrong. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to. We were just curious. Please forgive us." + +Mom sighed.

He wants to help the dog. He has an idea. + +"Mom, can I give the dog a name?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, Sam. What name do you want to give him?" Mom says. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He looks at his box of ink. He picks up a blue ink. He makes a mark on the dog's ear. He writes "Sky". + +"I name you Sky, because you are blue like the sky," Sam says. + +The dog wags his tail. He likes his name. He likes Sam. + +"Can we take Sky home, Mom?" Sam asks. + +Mom smiles. She sees that Sam and Sky are friends. She nods. + +"Yes, Sam. We can take Sky home.

One day, they found a big stick and decided to use it as a bridge between two islands. They put the stick on the sand and walked on it carefully. + +But then, a big boy came and took the stick away. He said it was his and he did not permit them to use it. He threw the stick far away and laughed. Tom and Mia were sad and angry. They wanted their bridge back. + +They saw a small boat near the pond. It had a rope and a paddle. They had an idea. They ran to the boat and got in. They used the rope to tie the boat to the stick.

They walked on it and pretended to be pirates and explorers. They had fun on their islands. + +But soon, they became tired. They had worked hard and played hard. They decided to rest on the boat. They got in and lay down. They closed their eyes and dreamed of more adventures. They were happy. +Mia and Leo were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes with their hands. Mia rolled a long snake and twisted it into a circle. Leo flattened a ball and cut out a star with a cookie cutter. + +"Look, I made a ring!" Mia said, showing her clay shape to Leo. "It is pretty and shiny." + +"I made a star!" Leo said, holding his clay shape in the air. "It is bright and pointy." + +They wanted to trade their shapes, but they had to be careful. Their shapes were delicate and could break easily. + +"Can I have your ring, Mia?" Leo asked. "I will give you my star." + +"Okay, Leo, but be gentle," Mia said. "My ring is very thin and soft." + +They swapped their shapes and smiled. They liked their new shapes. But then, Leo squeezed his ring too hard and it snapped in half. + +"Oh no!" Leo cried. "I broke your ring, Mia! I'm sorry!" + +Mia felt sad. She liked her ring. But she saw that Leo was very sorry and sad too. She did not want to make him feel worse. + +"It's okay, Leo," Mia said. "We can make another ring. Or we can make something else. We still have more clay." + +She gave Leo a hug and they went back to their clay. They decided to make a heart together. They rolled two snakes and twisted them into a heart shape. They pressed their star in the middle of the heart. + +"Look, we made a heart!" Mia said. "It is lovely and special." + +"I like our heart!" Leo said. "It is sweet and friendly." + +They put their heart on a plate and let it dry. They were happy with their clay shapes. They learned to be careful and kind with their shapes and with each other. +Mia and Leo were playing with their furry toys in the living room. They had a bear, a cat, a dog and a rabbit. They made them talk and move and have fun. + +"Meow, meow, I want some milk," said the cat. + +"Woof, woof, I want some bones," said the dog. + +"Roar, roar, I want some honey," said the bear. + +"Hop, hop, I want some carrots," said the rabbit. + +Mia and Leo laughed and gave them what they wanted. They pretended to feed them and pet them and cuddle them. + +But soon they felt very tired. Their eyes were heavy and their mouths were yawning. They looked at each other and nodded. + +"Let's take a nap," said Mia. + +"OK, let's take a nap," said Leo. + +They picked up their furry toys and went to their bedroom. They put them on their bed and lay down next to them.

He came to the tent with a whip. + +He saw Sam and Ben and the elephant. He shouted at them. + +"How dare you sneak in here and bother my elephant! He is not a toy! He is a star! He has to do tricks for the show!" + +He cracked his whip and tried to hit the elephant. The elephant was scared. He did not like the whip. He did not like the circus man. + +He resisted.

They did not want to lose their tower. They did not want Tom to be mean to them. + +"No, Tom!" Ben said. "This is our tower! We made it with our blocks! You cannot have it!" + +"Too bad!" Tom said. He walked to the tower and pushed it with his hand. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise. + +Ben and Lily cried. They were sad and angry.

You could have drowned," his mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to swim like the big kids. I wanted to succeed," Tommy said. + +"I know, Tommy. But you need to be patient and practice. Swimming is not easy. You will succeed one day, but you need to be safe and smart. Do you understand?" his mom said. + +"Yes, mom. I understand. Can I try again with the floaties?" Tommy said. + +"Of course, Tommy. But stay with me, okay?" his mom said. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you," Tommy said. + +They went back to the pool and played with the ball. Tommy felt happy.

He grabbed Tom by the arm and dragged him away. + +"You are a bad boy!" he said. "You are a thief! You are going to jail!" + +Lily was scared. She cried and ran after them. + +"Please, don't take him!" she said. "He didn't know! He was hungry! He is my friend!" + +But the policeman did not listen. He took Tom to his car and drove away. + +Lily was alone. She had no friend. She had no cake. She had no fun. She was very sad. She wished she had never seen the box. She wished she had never walked in the park. She wished she had never met Tom. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a sticker that said "mail". They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" said Ben. + +"No, we can't. It's not ours. It's for Mom and Dad." said Lily. + +"But I want to see!" said Ben. He ripped the tape and lifted the lid. Inside was a shiny mirror. It was very high and wide. Ben smiled and said, "Wow, look at this! It's so pretty!" + +He pulled the mirror out of the box and leaned it against the wall. He ran to get his toy car and drove it on the mirror. He liked how it made funny sounds and reflections. + +Lily was scared. She said, "Ben, stop! You're going to break it! Mom and Dad will be mad!" + +But Ben didn't listen. He kept playing with the mirror. He drove his car faster and faster. He didn't see the crack that was forming on the mirror. Suddenly, the mirror shattered into pieces. Ben screamed and dropped his car. He cut his hand on the glass. He started to cry. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'll get a band-aid. But you have to say sorry to Mom and Dad. They were waiting for this mirror. It was a gift from Grandma." + +Ben nodded. He felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I won't touch things that are not mine again." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. I love you. Let's clean up this mess and tell Mom and Dad the truth. Maybe they will forgive us." + +They picked up the pieces of the mirror and put them back in the box. They held hands and walked to the living room. They hoped Mom and Dad would understand. + +The moral of the story is: respect other people's belongings and don't be greedy. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to run and watch their kites fly high in the sky. They saw many colors and shapes in the clouds. + +But then the wind became very strong. The kites started to spin and shake. Tom and Mia heard a loud noise. They looked and saw a big, scary hurricane coming. It was like a giant, angry swirl of air and water. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Tom shouted. "We have to go home!" + +They dropped their kites and ran as fast as they could. They held hands and looked for their mom and dad. They were scared and worried. + +They found their mom and dad in the car. They hugged them and got in. The car drove away from the park and the hurricane. Tom and Mia felt safe and calm. + +"Are you okay, kids?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay," Tom said. + +"What about our kites?" Mia asked. + +"They are gone, Mia," their dad said. "But we can get new ones later. The most important thing is that you are safe." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They looked out the window and saw the hurricane moving away. They hoped that everyone was safe too. They were glad that they had each other. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cake on a table. It had white sugar on top. It looked yummy. + +"Let's eat some cake," Tom said. He ran to the table. + +"No, Tom, stop!" Lily said. "That is not our cake. That is for someone else." + +But Tom did not listen. He took a big bite of the cake. It was soft and sweet. He smiled. + +"Come on, Lily, try some. It is good," he said. + +Lily was scared. She did not want to be bad. But the cake looked so good. She walked to the table. She took a small bite of the cake. It was soft and sweet. She smiled. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing? That is my cake!" It was a man. He was angry. He had a hat and a coat. He was the owner of the cake. + +Lily and Tom were shocked. They dropped the cake. They ran away. + +They hid behind a tree. They were sad. They were sorry. + +"I regret eating the cake," Lily said. "It was wrong. We should say sorry to the man." + +"I regret eating the cake, too," Tom said. "It was wrong. But I am afraid of the man. He is mad." + +They did not know what to do. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had played somewhere else. They learned a lesson. They would not eat other people's cake again. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lila says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +Then they see a dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail. It looks friendly. + +"Hi, dog!" Lila says. + +She goes to the dog. She wants to pet the dog. She reaches out her hand. + +But the dog does not like Lila. The dog barks. The dog shows its teeth. The dog is angry. + +"Go away!" the dog says. + +Lila is scared. She jumps back. She runs to Tom. + +"Help!" Lila says. + +Tom sees the dog. He is scared too. He grabs Lila's hand. They run away from the dog. + +They find a bench. They sit on the bench. They are safe. + +"That was a bad dog!" Lila says. + +"Yes, it was!" Tom says. + +They hug each other. They are glad they are OK. + +They are hungry. They have a snack. They have crackers and cheese. The cheese is spicy. It makes their mouths hot. + +"Wow, this cheese is spicy!" Lila says. + +"I like it!" Tom says. + +They eat the cheese. They drink some water. They feel better. + +They look at the slide. They want to play again. + +"Let's go on the slide again!" Lila says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They spring up from the bench. They run to the slide. They forget about the dog. They have fun. They laugh and shout. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the school. One day, they find a big blackboard in a room. The blackboard is old and dusty. Ben and Sam want to draw on it. + +"Look, I can write my name!" Ben says. He takes a white stick and strikes the blackboard. The stick makes a loud noise. Ben smiles. + +"Me too!" Sam says. He takes a yellow stick and strikes the blackboard. The stick makes a louder noise. Sam laughs. + +But they do not know that Miss Lee is in the next room. Miss Lee is the teacher. She is deaf. She cannot hear the noise. But she can feel the blackboard shake. She is angry. + +She walks to the room where Ben and Sam are. She sees them striking the blackboard. She frowns. + +"Stop that!" she says. She signs with her hands. "You are bad boys! You make the blackboard dirty and broken! Go to the corner and sit down!" + +Ben and Sam are scared. They drop the sticks. They say sorry. They go to the corner and sit down. They do not play with the blackboard anymore. They learn to be quiet and respectful. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to look for pebbles of different colors and shapes. Lily found a shiny blue pebble and showed it to Max. "Look, Max, this pebble is so pretty!" she said. + +Max wanted to see the pebble, but Lily did not let him. "No, Max, this is my pebble. You can find your own pebble," she said. Max felt sad and angry. He was impatient. He wanted to see the pebble now. + +He tried to grab the pebble from Lily's hand, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the pebble. "Give it to me, Lily!" Max shouted. "No, Max, it's mine!" Lily shouted back. + +They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog saw the pebble and thought it was a ball. He jumped and snatched the pebble from Lily and Max's hands. He ran away with the pebble in his mouth. + +Lily and Max were shocked. They looked at each other and then at the dog. They realized they had been silly. They had lost their pebble because they did not share. They felt sorry and hugged each other. "I'm sorry, Max. I should have let you see the pebble," Lily said. "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have waited for my turn," Max said. + +They decided to look for another pebble together. They hoped to find one that was even prettier than the blue one. They learned to be kind and patient with each other. They had more fun that way. +Timmy likes to play with his toys in his room. He has cars, trains, blocks and animals. He likes to make noises and stories with them. One day, he sees a big red envelope on his bed. He wonders what is inside. He picks it up and shakes it. He hears something rattle. + +"Timmy, that's for Grandma!" his mom says from the door. "She sent you a card and a present. Don't open it yet!" + +But Timmy is curious. He wants to see the present. He tries to tear the envelope with his fingers, but it is too hard. He has an idea. He uses his teeth to bite the envelope. He makes a hole and pulls out a shiny coin. + +"Wow!" Timmy says. "A coin! I can buy candy with this!" + +He puts the coin in his pocket and throws the envelope on the floor. He does not see the card with Grandma's words and picture. + +"Timmy, what did you do?" his mom says. She is angry and sad. She picks up the envelope and the card. She sees the bite marks and the torn paper. "You ruined Grandma's card! She wrote you a nice message and drew you a picture. She loves you very much. How do you think she would feel if she saw this?" + +Timmy feels bad. He did not mean to hurt Grandma's feelings. He likes Grandma. She gives him hugs and cookies. He looks at the card and sees Grandma's smile and words. He can read some of them. He sees "love" and "happy" and his name. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Timmy says. "I didn't know. I wanted to see the present. I like the coin, but I like Grandma more. Can I say sorry to her?" + +Mom sighs. She is still angry, but she loves Timmy. She knows he is young and does not understand everything. + +"Yes, you can say sorry to her," she says. "But you have to learn to be more careful and respectful. Grandma sent you the envelope because she can't see you right now. She misses you and wants to make you happy. You should appreciate her gift and her card. They are more valuable than a coin." + +Timmy nods. He hugs Mom and says he loves her. He asks Mom to help him write a new card for Grandma. He says he is sorry and he loves her too. He draws a picture of him and Grandma and the coin. He puts the card and the coin in a new envelope. He does not bite it. He asks Mom to mail it to Grandma. He hopes Grandma will forgive him and be happy. He learns his lesson. He does not bite envelopes anymore. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to hop on the swings, slide down the slide, and run around the grass. One day, they saw a big, shiny ball in the corner of the park. It was red and blue and yellow and green, and it looked very fun. + +"Wow, look at that ball!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to someone else." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She ran to the ball and picked it up. It was very light and soft, and it made a funny noise when she squeezed it. She threw it to Ben and said, "Catch!" + +Ben caught the ball and threw it back to Lily. They laughed and hopped with the ball, having a good time. They did not see the man who was watching them from behind a tree. He had a mean face and a big bag. He was the one who left the ball in the park. It was not a real ball, but a trap. He wanted to catch children and take them away. + +The man waited until Lily and Ben were close to him. Then he jumped out of his hiding place and grabbed them. He put them in his bag and ran away. Lily and Ben were scared and cried. They tried to get out of the bag, but it was too tight. They wished they had not played with the ball. They wished they had listened to Ben's question. They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had stayed with their original game. But it was too late. The man took them far away, and they never saw the park or their families again. +Sara and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys and books, but they are bored. They want to find something new and fun. + +"Look, there is a closet!" Ben says. He points to a big door in the wall. "Maybe there are more toys inside." + +Sara is not sure. She remembers that Mom said the closet is for old things, not for children. She thinks the closet might be dark and scary. + +"Come on, Sara, let's go!" Ben urges. He pulls Sara by the hand. He opens the closet door and steps inside. + +Sara follows him, but she is afraid. She sees many boxes and bags and clothes. She does not see any toys. She hears a strange noise. + +"Ben, what is that?" Sara asks. She holds Ben's hand tight. + +Ben does not answer. He is curious. He moves a box and sees a big, furry thing. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is a bear! + +The bear growls and jumps at Ben. Ben screams and runs out of the closet. Sara runs after him. The bear chases them. + +"Help, Mom, help!" Sara and Ben shout. They run to the living room, where Mom is reading a book. + +Mom hears them and sees the bear. She is shocked and angry. She grabs a broom and hits the bear. The bear is hurt and runs away. + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She is glad they are safe. She is also mad at them. + +"What were you doing in the closet?" Mom asks. "You know you are not allowed to go there. That is a very bad bear. He could have hurt you very much." + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They cry and say they are sorry. They promise to never go to the closet again. + +Mom forgives them. She kisses them and tells them to be careful. She takes them to the kitchen and gives them some cookies and milk. She hopes the bear will not come back. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. One day, they decide to make a big tower with all the blocks they have. They call it their nation. + +"Look at our nation!" Tom says. "It is so tall and strong. No one can knock it down." + +Anna nods. "Yes, it is very good. But we have to be careful. Some people might not like our nation. They might want to break it." + +Tom frowns. "Who would do that? That is not nice. We worked hard to make our nation." + +Anna points. "Look, there is Ben. He is coming this way. He always likes to mess up our games. He might try to knock down our nation." + +Tom and Anna get scared. They do not want to lose their nation. They think of a way to prevent Ben from breaking it. + +"Quick, let's hide behind the couch!" Tom says. "We can watch him from there. If he comes near our nation, we can jump out and stop him." + +Anna agrees. They run behind the couch and wait. They see Ben walking towards their nation. He has a big smile on his face. He looks like he has a plan. + +"Wow, look at that tower!" Ben says. "It is so big and shiny. I wonder what it is made of. Maybe I should touch it and see." + +Tom and Anna hold their breath. They are ready to jump out and stop Ben. But before Ben can reach their nation, something else happens. A loud noise comes from the kitchen. It is Mom. She is cooking something and it spills over the stove. + +"Oops!" Mom says. "I need some help here. Ben, can you come and help me, please?" + +Ben turns around. He forgets about the tower. He runs to the kitchen to help Mom. He likes to help Mom. He is a humble boy. + +Tom and Anna sigh with relief. They are happy that Ben did not break their nation. They come out from behind the couch and hug each other. + +"Phew, that was close!" Tom says. "Our nation is safe. Thank you, Mom!" + +Anna smiles. "Yes, thank you, Mom! You prevented Ben from ruining our nation. You are the best!" + +Mom hears them and smiles too. She is proud of her children. They are creative and kind. She loves them very much. +Lily and Ben were going to church with Mom and Dad. It was a cold day and the ground was icy. Lily wore her pink coat and Ben wore his blue hat. They held hands as they walked on the sidewalk. + +"Be careful, kids," Mom said. "The ice is slippery. Don't run or jump." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked going to church. They liked the songs and the stories and the cookies. They could hear the bell ringing in the tower. It was a big and loud bell. + +When they got to the church, they saw a lot of people. Some were their friends, some were not. They said hello and smiled. They followed Mom and Dad to their seats. They sat quietly and listened to the music and the words. + +But then, something happened. Lily heard a loud noise. It was not the bell. It was a crash. She looked out the window and saw a car. The car had hit a tree. The tree was next to the church. The car was broken and the tree was bent. Lily gasped. + +"Mom, Dad, look!" she said. "A car hit a tree!" + +Mom and Dad turned and saw the car and the tree. They looked worried. They got up and took Lily and Ben with them. They went outside to see if anyone was hurt. + +The car had a man and a woman inside. They were not moving. They had blood on their faces. Lily and Ben felt scared. They hugged Mom and Dad. + +"Are they okay?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, honey," Dad said. "We have to wait for the ambulance. They will help them." + +Lily and Ben prayed for the man and the woman. They hoped they would be okay. They hoped the ice would melt soon. They hoped they could go back to church and sing and listen and eat cookies. They hoped the car and the tree would be fixed. They hoped the bell would ring again. +Timmy was very tired after playing all day. He wanted to lay down on his bed and sleep. But his bed was not soft and cozy. It was hard and lumpy. He felt a big bump under his pillow. He lifted the pillow and saw a book. It was his mom's book. She liked to read books about massage. Timmy did not know what massage was. He opened the book and saw pictures of people touching other people's backs and feet and heads. + +"Maybe massage is good for tired people," Timmy thought. He decided to try it on his teddy bear. He put the book on the floor and picked up his teddy bear. He lay down on his bed and put the teddy bear on his chest. He looked at the book and copied what the people did. He rubbed the teddy bear's back with his hands. He squeezed the teddy bear's feet with his fingers. He tapped the teddy bear's head with his palm. + +"Does that feel good, teddy?" Timmy asked. The teddy bear did not answer. He was a toy. He could not talk. But Timmy pretended that he could. He imagined that the teddy bear was happy and relaxed. He smiled and hugged the teddy bear. He felt warm and sleepy. + +Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. It was his mom. She opened the door and saw Timmy and the teddy bear on the bed. She also saw her book on the floor. + +"Timmy, what are you doing?" she asked. + +"I'm giving teddy a massage, mom," Timmy said. "He was very tired and I wanted to help him." + +Mom smiled and walked to the bed. She picked up her book and looked at the cover. It said "How to Massage Your Helpless Partner". She laughed and shook her head. + +"Timmy, this book is not for you. It's for grown-ups. Massage is a nice way to show love and care, but it's also a special way to make someone feel good. You need to ask permission before you touch someone like that. And you need to be careful not to hurt them." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Timmy said. "I didn't know. I just wanted to make teddy happy. He's my best friend." + +Mom hugged Timmy and kissed his cheek. She was not angry. She was proud of Timmy for being kind and gentle. + +"I know, sweetie. You're a good boy. And teddy is lucky to have you. But next time, please use a different book. Maybe one with stories or pictures that you like. And if you want a massage, you can ask me. I'll be happy to give you one." + +"Really, mom?" Timmy asked. + +"Really, Timmy," mom said. + +"Can you give me one now?" Timmy asked. + +"Sure, Timmy," mom said. + +She lay down next to Timmy and the teddy bear. She put her arm around them and rubbed Timmy's back. She whispered in his ear. + +"Good night, Timmy. I love you." + +"Good night, mom. I love you too," Timmy said. + +He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of massage and teddy bears and mom. He was happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make animals, cars, flowers and more. They have fun with clay. + +One day, they want to make a big clay house. They need a lot of clay for that. They look at their clay box. It is messy. There are many pieces of clay mixed together. They cannot find the colors they want. + +"Let's organize our clay," Lily says. "Then we can find the colors we need." + +"Okay," Ben says. "How do we organize it?" + +"We can make groups of the same color," Lily says. "Like this." She takes a piece of red clay and puts it in a corner. She finds another piece of red clay and puts it next to the first one. She does the same with blue, yellow, green and other colors. + +Ben helps her. He likes to make groups of clay. He thinks it is fun. Soon, they have many groups of clay in different colors. + +"Look, we organized our clay," Ben says. "Now we can make our big clay house." + +"Yes, we can," Lily says. "Let's start with the walls. What color do you want?" + +"I want blue," Ben says. + +"I want yellow," Lily says. + +They take some blue and yellow clay and start to make the walls of their big clay house. They are happy. They like to play with clay. +Tim was a curious squirrel who liked to explore the forest. He loved to find new things and learn about them. One day, he saw a shiny acorn on the ground. He ran to pick it up and put it in his mouth. + +But the acorn was not a real acorn. It was a metal acorn that someone had left behind. It tasted bad and hard. Tim spat it out and looked at it. He wondered what it was and why it was there. + +He decided to take it to his friend Lily, who was a wise owl. She lived in a big tree and knew a lot of things. Tim climbed up the tree and knocked on her door. Lily opened it and saw Tim holding the metal acorn. + +"Hello, Tim. What do you have there?" she asked. + +"It is an acorn, but not a good one. It is metal and it tastes bad. Do you know what it is?" Tim asked. + +Lily looked at the metal acorn and smiled. She said, "It is not an acorn, Tim. It is a bell. It is something that people use to make noise. They hang it on a string and shake it. It goes ding-ding-ding. Do you want to try it?" + +Tim was curious and nodded. He took the metal acorn and shook it. It made a loud ding-ding-ding sound. He liked it and smiled. He said, "It is fun. Can I keep it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can keep it. But be careful. It might scare some animals or people. They might think it is a warning or a call. Only use it when you want to play or say hello." + +Tim thanked Lily and said goodbye. He took the metal acorn and ran down the tree. He decided to use it as a toy and a gift. He would show it to his other friends and share it with them. He was happy and proud. He had found a new thing and learned about it. He had a curious and fun day. The end. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys. Lily has a doll and Tom has a bear. They pretend that the doll and the bear are friends. They make them talk to each other. + +"Hello, bear. You are nice. Do you want to play with me?" Lily makes the doll say. + +"Hello, doll. You are nice too. Yes, I want to play with you." Tom makes the bear say. + +They make the doll and the bear hug and smile. Then they decide to have a tea party. They find a small table and two chairs. They also find a plate and two cups. They put the plate and the cups on the table. They pretend that the plate has cookies and the cups have tea. + +"Would you like a cookie, bear?" Lily makes the doll say. + +"Thank you, doll. You are very kind." Tom makes the bear say. + +They make the doll and the bear take a cookie from the plate and eat it. They make them sip the tea from the cups. They make them say yummy and happy. + +"Can I tell you a secret, doll?" Tom makes the bear say. + +"Of course, bear. What is it?" Lily makes the doll say. + +They make the doll and the bear lean closer to each other. They whisper in their ears. + +"I like you, doll. You are my best friend." Tom makes the bear say. + +"I like you too, bear. You are my best friend." Lily makes the doll say. + +They make the doll and the bear kiss and hug. They make them bow to each other. They giggle and clap. + +Lily and Tom are having fun. They love their toys. They love each other. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with water and ducks. Tom wants to feed the ducks. He has some bread in his bag. + +"Look, Mia, ducks!" Tom says. "Let's feed them!" + +Mia nods. She likes ducks too. They run to the pond and sit on the grass. Tom takes out some bread and breaks it into pieces. He throws some to the ducks. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. + +"Can I have some bread too?" Mia asks. She wants to feed the ducks as well. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom says. He is selfish. He does not want to share his bread. He keeps throwing it to the ducks. + +Mia is sad. She thinks Tom is not a good friend. She stands up and walks away. She sees a butterfly on a flower. She likes butterflies. She follows the butterfly. The butterfly flies to another flower. Mia follows it again. She smiles. + +Tom does not notice that Mia is gone. He is busy feeding the ducks. He thinks he is having fun. But soon, he runs out of bread. The ducks swim away. They are not interested in Tom anymore. + +Tom looks around. He does not see Mia. He feels lonely. He wonders where she is. He calls her name. + +"Mia! Mia! Where are you?" + +But Mia does not answer. She is too far away. She is following the butterfly. She is happy. +Lily and Ben were making sandwiches for lunch. They liked to add jelly to their bread, because it was sweet and sticky. Lily had a red jar of jelly, and Ben had a purple jar of jelly. + +"Can I try your jelly?" Lily asked Ben. "I want to see if it is different from mine." + +"Sure, you can try it," Ben said. "But you have to give me some of yours too." + +They swapped their jars and spread some jelly on their bread. They took a big bite and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is good!" Lily said. "Your jelly is like mine, but a little more sour." + +"I like your jelly too," Ben said. "It is like mine, but a little more sweet." + +They were happy to share their jelly and try something new. They finished their sandwiches and put the jars back on the shelf. + +But they did not notice that they had mixed up the jars. Lily's red jar had a label that said "raspberry", and Ben's purple jar had a label that said "grape". They had put the wrong jars in the wrong places. + +Later, their mom came home and wanted to make a cake. She needed to add some jelly to the batter, to make it moist and fruity. She reached for the red jar, thinking it was raspberry. She did not read the label, because she trusted her children to be reliable and put things back where they belonged. + +She added a big spoonful of jelly to the batter and stirred it well. She poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. She was looking forward to having a delicious raspberry cake for dessert. + +But when she took the cake out of the oven, she smelled something strange. She cut a slice and tasted it. She made a face and spat it out. + +"Yuck, this is not raspberry, this is grape!" she exclaimed. "Who switched the jars?" + +She called Lily and Ben to the kitchen and showed them the cake. They looked at each other and realized their mistake. They felt sorry and guilty. + +"We're sorry, mom," they said. "We swapped the jars when we made sandwiches, and we forgot to put them back." + +They apologized and hugged their mom. She was not too angry, because she knew they did not mean to ruin the cake. She decided to make another cake, with the right jelly this time. She asked Lily and Ben to help her, and to be more careful and reliable in the future. + +They agreed and learned their lesson. They helped their mom make a new cake, and they enjoyed it together. They still liked to add jelly to their bread, but they always checked the labels first. +Lily liked to number the animals at the zoo. She counted one, two, three, four, five lions. She counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven zebras. She counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten monkeys. She was very good at counting. + +But when she came to the bears, she was confused. There were only two bears, but they looked very different. One bear was big and brown and furry. The other bear was small and pale and bald. Lily asked her mom, "Why is that bear pale and bald?" + +Her mom said, "That bear is sick. He has no hair and he is very weak. The zoo people are trying to help him get better. They give him medicine and food and love. But he is still very sad and lonely." + +Lily felt sorry for the pale and bald bear. She wanted to make him happy. She had an idea. She took her teddy bear from her backpack and threw it over the fence. The teddy bear landed near the pale and bald bear. The pale and bald bear looked at the teddy bear. He sniffed it and touched it. He liked it. He hugged it and cuddled it. He smiled. + +Lily smiled too. She was happy that she made the pale and bald bear happy. She said, "Look, mom, he has a friend now. He is not lonely anymore." Her mom said, "You are very kind, Lily. You did a good thing. The pale and bald bear is lucky to have you." Lily nodded. She was proud of herself. She liked to number the animals at the zoo, but she liked to help them more. +Anna and Mommy were going to the park. Anna was very happy. She liked to play on the swings and the slide. She put on her soft blouse and her shoes. Mommy helped her with her coat and hat. + +"Are you ready, Anna?" Mommy asked. + +"Yes, Mommy!" Anna said. + +They walked to the car and got in. Mommy drove to the park. Anna looked out the window and saw the trees and the birds. She sang a song. + +They arrived at the park. Mommy parked the car and opened the door. She took out Anna's backpack and gave it to her. + +"Here, Anna. This is your backpack. It has your water and your snack and your toy. Don't forget it, okay?" Mommy said. + +"Okay, Mommy. I won't forget it." Anna said. + +They walked to the playground. Anna saw the swings and the slide and the sandbox. She ran to the swings and asked Mommy to push her. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and shouted. + +"Mommy, look at me! I'm flying!"

Anna said. + +Mommy nodded and said, "You're having fun, Anna!" + +Anna slid for a long time. Then she wanted to play in the sandbox. She got off the slide and ran to the sandbox.

I won't forget it." + +She put her backpack on her lap and hugged it. She looked out the window and saw the park. She felt sad and said, "Bye, park.

You are not my friend." + +Lily runs away from Ben. She goes to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and gives her a glass of milk. She says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Ben was not nice to you. He should have shared the great apple with you. You are my great girl. I love you." + +Ben is alone in the garden. He finishes the great apple. He looks for another one. He sees an apple with a label. It says 'wormy'. He thinks wormy means great too. He picks the apple and takes a big bite. + +"Ow! This apple is not great. It is worse. It has a worm in it. It makes my stomach hurt," Ben says. He spits out the apple and the worm. He feels sick. + +Ben cries. He wants his mom. He wants Lily. He wants a glass of milk. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. I should have shared the great apple with you. You are my friend. I love you." + +But Lily and her mom are gone. They went to the park. They are having fun. They are not coming back. + +Ben is sad. He is alone. He has no apple. He has no friend. He has no love. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the pool with their moms. The pool is big and blue. It has slides and toys. + +Tom and Sue jump in the pool. They splash and swim. They have fun. They go on the slides. They play with the toys. They laugh and talk. + +"Look, Sue, I can blow bubbles!" Tom says. He puts his mouth in the water and makes bubbles. + +"Wow, Tom, that's cool!" Sue says. She tries to blow bubbles too. They make more bubbles. + +But after a while, they get tired. They go to the side of the pool. They sit on the edge. They look around. They see other kids playing. They see their moms talking. + +"Tom, I'm bored," Sue says. She yawns. She wants to do something else. + +"Me too, Sue," Tom says. He nods. He wants to do something else too. + +They look at each other. They have an idea. They smile. + +"Let's go to the playground!" they say together. They jump out of the pool. They grab their towels. They run to their moms. + +"Moms, can we go to the playground?" they ask. They point to the playground. It has swings and slides and a sandbox. + +Their moms look at them. They see that they are bored of the pool. They nod. + +"Okay, but only for a little while," they say. They get their bags. They follow Tom and Sue. + +Tom and Sue are happy. They go to the playground. They swing and slide and dig. They have fun. They laugh and talk. They are not bored anymore. +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to build forts with the cushions from the sofa. They used green cushions for the walls and red cushions for the roof. They pretended they were in a castle and had fun. + +But then, Ben wanted to make the fort bigger. He took a green cushion from Lily's side and added it to his side. Lily did not like that. She said, "No, Ben, that is my cushion. Give it back!" + +Ben did not listen. He said, "No, Lily, I need it for my fort. It is mine now!" + +Lily got angry. She tried to grab the cushion from Ben, but he held it tight. They both pulled and tugged on the cushion. They started to yell at each other. + +"Mine!" + +"No, mine!" + +"Mine!" + +"No, mine!" + +Their yelling was very loud. It made their mom come to the living room. She saw them fighting over the cushion. She was not happy. She said, "Stop, Ben and Lily! Why are you yelling and fighting? You need to share the cushions. They are for both of you to play with. Say sorry to each other and play nicely." + +Ben and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they were wrong. They let go of the cushion and said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to share the cushions and make the fort together. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. Now, have fun in your fort, but don't yell too much." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a button on it. Lily says, "What is this?" Ben says, "I don't know. Let's see." + +They go inside the box and close the door. Ben pushes the button. The box makes a loud noise and shakes. Lily and Ben feel funny. They open the door and get out. They look at each other and scream. They are very small. The box has shrunk them. + +They see a big spider on the floor. It has eight legs and hairy eyes. It sees them and runs towards them. Lily and Ben are scared. They run away from the spider. They see a crack in the wall. They go inside the crack. It is dark and warm. They hug each other and cry. + +They hear a voice. It is their mom. She is looking for them. She says, "Lily, Ben, where are you?" She sees the box and the spider. She says, "Oh no, what happened?" She picks up the box and sees the button. She pushes the button. The box makes a loud noise and shakes. She opens the door and sees Lily and Ben. They are big again. + +She hugs them and says, "I'm so glad you're okay. What were you doing in the box?" Lily and Ben say, "We're sorry, mom. We were curious. We didn't know the box could shrink us." Mom says, "It's okay. I love you. But don't play with the box again. It's dangerous." Lily and Ben say, "We love you too, mom. And we won't play with the box again. We learned our lesson." They smile and kiss mom. They are happy to be safe and warm. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a flower. The flower is yellow and big. It smells good. + +"Look, a flower!" Lily says. She runs to the flower. She wants to touch it. + +"Wait, Lily!" Ben says. He follows her. He knows something. "This flower is not for touching. It is for bees." + +Lily stops. She looks at Ben. "Bees?" she asks. She is scared of bees. She does not like their buzz. + +"Yes, bees," Ben says. He points to the flower. "See, there are bees on the flower. They like the flower. They drink the flower's juice. The juice is tasty for them. But not for us." + +Lily nods. She understands. She does not want to drink the flower's juice. She does not want to make the bees angry. She backs away from the flower. + +"Let's go, Ben," she says. She takes his hand. "We can find another flower. A flower for us." + +Ben smiles. He agrees. He likes Lily. He likes flowers. He likes the park. He and Lily walk away. They look for another flower. A flower that is not for bees. A flower that is for them. +Sara and Ben like to play pretend. They have many toys and costumes to make fun stories. One day, they decide to be superheroes and villains. Sara puts on a red cape and a mask. Ben wears a black hat and a mask too. + +"I am Super Sara, and I will stop you, Bad Ben!" Sara says. She runs to Ben and tries to catch him. + +"No, you can't catch me, Super Sara! I am too fast and smart!" Ben says. He runs away from Sara and hides behind a sofa. + +Sara looks for Ben. She sees his hat sticking out from behind the sofa. She sneaks up to him and strikes him with a pillow. + +"Ow! You got me, Super Sara!" Ben says. He falls to the floor and pretends to be hurt. + +Sara laughs and helps Ben get up. "You are a good villain, Bad Ben. But I am a better superhero, Super Sara!" She says. + +Ben smiles and hugs Sara. "You are a good superhero, Super Sara. But I am a better brother, Normal Ben!" He says. + +They take off their masks and capes and hug each other. They are happy to play pretend, but they are happier to be normal. +Sara and Tom were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a big pumpkin in their neighbor's yard. It was orange and round and had a funny face carved on it. + +"Let's take the pumpkin and make a pie!" Sara said. + +"No, let's make a lantern and scare people!" Tom said. + +They started to argue and pull the pumpkin from each other. The neighbor heard them and came out of his house. He was angry and scary. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Leave my pumpkin alone!" he shouted. + +He grabbed the pumpkin from them and threw it on the ground. It broke into pieces and the seeds and pulp spilled everywhere. Sara and Tom were shocked and sad. + +They ran away to their home and told their mom what happened. She was not happy with them. She said they were naughty and rude and made the neighbor suffer. She said they had to go back and say sorry and help him clean up. She also said they could not have any candy or watch any TV for a week. + +Sara and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not fought over the pumpkin. They wished they had been charming and nice. They learned their lesson and never stole anything again. +Ben and Mia are friends who like to play outside. One day, they see a big tree with many branches. They want to climb the tree and have fun. + +"Look, Ben, there is a branch that looks like a swing!" Mia says. She is enthusiastic and runs to the tree. + +"Wait, Mia, be careful!" Ben says. He is not so sure about the tree. He follows Mia slowly. + +Mia reaches the branch and grabs it with her hands. She tries to swing on it, but it is too high. She cannot touch the ground with her feet. She feels scared and wants to get down. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Mia cries. She hangs from the branch and cannot let go. + +Ben hears Mia and runs to the tree. He sees Mia hanging from the branch. He thinks fast and looks around. He sees a pair of pants on a clothesline nearby. He takes the pants and runs back to the tree. + +"Here, Mia, catch this!" Ben says. He throws the pants to Mia. Mia catches the pants and wraps them around the branch. She makes a knot and holds on to the pants. She feels safer and can let go of the branch. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend!" Mia says. She slides down the pants and reaches the ground. She hugs Ben and smiles. + +"You are welcome, Mia, I am glad you are okay!" Ben says. He hugs Mia and smiles too. + +They learn a lesson that day. They learn to be careful when they play outside. They also learn to help each other when they are in trouble. They are happy and grateful for their friendship. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle. + +"Look, Lily, I made a tower!" Ben said, showing his pile of sand. + +"Good job, Ben!" Lily said. She encouraged him to make more. "Can you make a wall too?" + +Ben nodded and started to dig more sand. He filled the bucket and dumped it next to the tower. He made a wall. + +Lily smiled. She had a plan. She looked around and saw a clear puddle of water. She ran to it and filled her shovel with water. She came back to the sand castle. + +"Ben, I have a surprise for you!" she said. + +"What is it, Lily?" Ben asked, curious. + +Lily poured the water over the sand castle. The water made the sand stick together. The sand castle looked more real. + +"Wow, Lily, you made the sand castle better!" Ben said, amazed. + +Lily giggled. She was happy. She hugged Ben. + +"We made the sand castle together!" she said. + +They played with the sand castle until it was time to go home. They were proud of their work. They had fun. +Lily was a big sister. She had a baby brother, Max. Max was an infant. He was very small and cute. Lily loved Max, but sometimes she was jealous. She wanted to play with Mom and Dad, but they were busy with Max. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She wanted to show Max her toys. She took her favorite doll and went to Max's crib. She put the doll next to Max and said, "Look, Max, this is my doll. She is very pretty and soft. Do you like her?" + +Max looked at the doll and smiled. He reached out his hand and grabbed the doll's hair. He pulled hard and made the doll cry. Lily was angry. She shouted, "No, Max, that's naughty! You can't do that! Give me back my doll!" + +Mom heard Lily and came to the room. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the doll. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You can't show Max your toys like that. He is too little. He doesn't know how to play gently. He might hurt your toys or himself. You have to be careful and kind with Max. He is your brother." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to show Max my doll. I didn't mean to make him cry. I love Max, but I miss you and Dad." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know, sweetie. We love you too. We are proud of you for being a big sister. You can show Max your toys, but only when we are with you. And you can always play with us when Max is sleeping or feeding. How about we read a story together now?" + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, Mom. Can I pick the story?" + +Mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can pick the story. And maybe later, we can show Max some pictures of you when you were an infant. He would love to see how much you have grown." + +Lily nodded and said, "That sounds fun. Come on, Max, let's go read a story with Mom. And don't worry, I won't be naughty with you anymore." +Sara and Ben like to design things with their blocks. They make houses, cars, castles and more. They have fun and use their wisdom to make good designs. + +One day, they have a new friend, Leo, who comes to play with them. Leo is lively and likes to run and jump. He sees the blocks and wants to play too. But he does not want to design things. He wants to knock them down. + +"Stop!" Sara says. "We made these with our wisdom. You are ruining them!" + +"I don't care!" Leo says. "It is more fun to knock them down. Watch this!" He kicks a house and it falls apart. + +Ben is angry. He grabs a block and throws it at Leo. Leo dodges and throws one back. Soon, they are having a block fight and making a big mess. + +Sara is sad. She does not like the fight. She does not like to see her designs destroyed. She goes to the corner and cries. + +The teacher hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks everywhere and the children fighting and crying. She is not happy. + +"Stop this right now!" she says. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +She makes them sit down and talk. She asks them why they are angry and sad. She listens to them and helps them understand each other. + +She tells Leo that Sara and Ben worked hard to design things with their wisdom and that he should respect their creations. She tells Sara and Ben that Leo is lively and likes to play in different ways and that they should let him join them. She tells them that they can all have fun and learn from each other if they share and cooperate. + +She helps them clean up the blocks and make new designs together. She gives them some ideas and tips. She praises them for their wisdom and creativity. + +Sara, Ben and Leo become friends. They learn to design things with their blocks and to play with each other. They have fun and use their wisdom to make good designs. +Ben and Lily were eager to play with the new toys that their grandma gave them. They opened the big chest in the living room and saw many colorful blocks, cars, dolls, and books. They wanted to share them fairly, so they decided to count them. + +"I will count the blocks, and you count the cars," Ben said to Lily. + +"OK, I will count the cars, and you count the blocks," Lily said to Ben. + +They started to count the toys, but they had different ways of counting. Ben counted one, two, three, four, five, and then he stopped. He thought that was enough. Lily counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and then she stopped. She thought that was enough. + +"Look, I have five blocks, and you have ten cars. That is not fair. You have more than me," Ben said to Lily. + +"No, you have more than me. You have big blocks, and I have small cars. That is not fair. You have bigger than me," Lily said to Ben. + +They started to argue and fight over the toys. They pulled and pushed and shouted and cried. They were not happy at all. + +Their grandma heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the tears and the angry faces. She was sad and disappointed. + +"Ben and Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the toys? Don't you know how to count and share?" she asked them. + +They stopped and looked at their grandma. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We don't know how to count and share, grandma. We counted differently and we wanted the same toys. We were not nice to each other," they said. + +"Counting and sharing are important skills to learn, my dears. Counting helps you to know how many things you have and how many things others have. Sharing helps you to be generous and kind and make friends. If you count and share, you will have more fun and happiness. Do you understand?" she said. + +They nodded and hugged their grandma. They said they were sorry and they wanted to learn how to count and share. + +"Good, I am glad you want to learn. Let me help you. Let's count the toys together and then divide them equally. You can take turns to choose what you like. And then you can play together and enjoy the toys. How does that sound?" she said. + +They smiled and agreed. They counted the toys with their grandma and then shared them fairly. They thanked their grandma and said they loved her. They played together and enjoyed the toys. They were happy and grateful. They learned how to count and share. +Sara was a small girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a soft bear with brown fur. She called him Teddy and hugged him every night. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Teddy. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to leave Teddy alone. She asked her mom if she could take Teddy with her. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful not to lose him," her mom said. + +Sara nodded and ran to the swings with Teddy. She put him on the seat next to her and pushed herself back and forth. She felt happy and free. + +But she did not see a boy who was watching her. He was bigger than Sara and had a mean look on his face. He wanted Teddy for himself. He waited until Sara was not looking and ran to the swings. He grabbed Teddy and ran away. + +Sara saw him and screamed. "Hey, that's my Teddy! Give him back! You can't steal him!" + +She jumped off the swing and chased the boy. She was fast and brave. She caught up with him and pulled Teddy from his hands. She hugged Teddy and glared at the boy. + +"That's not nice! You can't take things that are not yours!" she said. + +The boy looked scared and ashamed. He mumbled, "Sorry, I just liked him. He's so soft and cute." + +Sara felt sorry for him. She remembered that she had other toys at home. She thought for a moment and then said, "Do you want to play with me and Teddy? We can share him. He likes to make new friends." + +The boy smiled and nodded. He said, "Thank you, that's very kind of you. What's your name?" + +"I'm Sara, and this is Teddy. What's your name?" she said. + +"I'm Ben. Nice to meet you," he said. + +They walked back to the swings and played together. They took turns holding Teddy and pushing each other. They laughed and had fun. + +Sara's mom saw them and smiled. She was proud of Sara for being brave and generous. She thought, "She's such a good girl. She knows how to make friends and share." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red apples. Lily wanted to pick an apple, but Ben said no. + +"That is not our tree. It is Mrs. Brown's tree. She will be mad if we take her apples," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She climbed the tree and reached for an apple. She pulled hard, but the apple did not come off. She pulled harder, and the branch broke. Lily fell down with a loud thump. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cried. She hurt her arm and her leg. She also dropped the apple, and it rolled away. + +Ben ran to help Lily. He saw blood on her arm and her leg. He was scared. + +"Lily, are you okay? I will get Mom and Dad. They will make you better," Ben said. + +He ran to the house and told Mom and Dad what happened. They came with a bandage and a hug. They cleaned Lily's wounds and wrapped them with the bandage. They also gave her a kiss and a cookie. + +"Lily, you were very naughty. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should listen to Ben. He is your big brother and he knows better," Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted an apple. They looked so yummy," Lily said. + +"Next time, ask Mrs. Brown if you can have an apple. She is very nice and she might say yes. But you have to be polite and careful. And you have to share with Ben," Dad said. + +"Okay, Dad. I will do that. Thank you for making me better. I love you," Lily said. + +She hugged Mom and Dad and Ben. She felt sorry and sad. She also felt hungry. She looked for the apple, but she could not find it. A squirrel had taken it and was eating it on another tree. It was a very fit squirrel. It had a big smile. It liked the apple very much. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside and explore new things. One day, they saw a big factory near their park. It had many windows and doors and pipes and noises. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They waited until no one was looking. Then they ran to the factory and found a small door. They opened it and went in. It was dark and dusty and smelly. They saw many machines and tools and wires and boxes. They were curious and scared. + +They walked around and touched some things. They heard a loud beep and a voice. It said, "Who is there? This is a private place. You are not allowed here." Lily and Tom were frightened. They looked for the door, but they could not find it. They were lost. + +They heard footsteps and saw a light. It was a man with a hat and a badge. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing here? You are trespassing. You are in trouble." Lily and Tom felt guilty. They knew they did a bad thing. + +They said, "We are sorry. We just wanted to peek. We were curious. Please don't be mad. Please let us go." The man looked at them. He saw they were small and scared. He said, "You should not have come here. This is a dangerous place. You could have been hurt. You should always ask before you go somewhere new. Do you understand?" Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again." The man said, "OK. I will take you back to the park. But you have to promise me you will never come here again. And you have to tell your parents what you did. Do you promise?" Lily and Tom said, "Yes, we promise. Thank you for helping us." The man took them by the hand and led them to the door. He said, "Be careful and be good. And don't be too curious." Lily and Tom said, "OK. Bye." They ran back to the park and hugged each other. They were happy and relieved. They learned a lesson. They never went to the factory again. +Mia and Ben were going to a hotel with Mom and Dad. They were very excite. They had never been to a hotel before. They packed their bags with toys and clothes and snacks. + +When they got to the hotel, they saw a big building with many windows and doors. A nice man helped them with their bags and gave them a key. They went to the elevator and pushed a button. The elevator went up and up and up. Mia and Ben liked the elevator. It was fun. + +They found their room and opened the door. The room had two beds, a TV, a table, and a bathroom. Mia and Ben jumped on the beds and turned on the TV. They saw cartoons and laughed. Mom and Dad smiled and said, "This is our home for the weekend. We can have a good time here." + +Mia and Ben asked, "Can we go to the pool?" Mom and Dad said, "Yes, we can. But first, we have to change into our swimsuits." They opened their bags and took out their swimsuits. They changed in the bathroom and put on their towels. They were ready to go to the pool. + +They went to the elevator again and pushed another button. The elevator went down and down and down. They got out and followed the signs to the pool. The pool was big and blue and had a slide. Mia and Ben ran to the pool and jumped in. The water was warm and splashy. They swam and played and slid. They had a lot of fun. + +They liked the hotel. It was easy to have fun there. They were happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. Lila had a doll with a pink dress and Ben had a car with big wheels. They liked to share their toys and make up stories. + +One day, they saw a man walking a big dog. The dog had a leather collar with shiny metal things on it. The man stopped near a bench and sat down. The dog lay down next to him. + +"Look at the dog!" Lila said. "He is so big and fluffy. Can we go and pet him?" + +Ben nodded. He liked dogs too. They walked slowly towards the man and the dog. They said hello and asked if they could pet the dog. + +The man smiled and said yes. He told them the dog's name was Max. He said Max was friendly and gentle, but sometimes he was persistent. He liked to examine everything with his nose. + +Lila and Ben reached out their hands and touched Max's fur. It was soft and warm. Max licked their fingers and wagged his tail. He sniffed their toys and tried to take them with his mouth. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Lila said. She pulled her doll away from Max. Max whined and tried to grab it again. + +"Sorry, he likes to play with toys," the man said. "He doesn't mean to be rude. He is just curious." + +Ben laughed. He gave Max his car and said he could play with it. Max took the car and ran around the bench. He made happy noises and shook his head. + +Lila and Ben watched Max and smiled. They thought he was funny and cute. They decided to play with him for a while. They threw the car and Max fetched it. They rubbed his belly and ears. They told him he was a good dog. + +The man thanked them for being nice to Max. He said they were good kids. He said it was time to go home. He called Max and put the leather collar back on him. + +Lila and Ben said goodbye to Max and the man. They hugged Max and gave him a treat. They said they hoped to see him again. + +They went back to their toys and continued their stories. They agreed that Max was a fun friend. They wondered what he would examine next. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with rockets. They have a big box of rockets. Some are red, some are blue, some are yellow. They are all unique. + +One day, they decide to wear helmets and pretend to be astronauts. They put on their helmets and pick their rockets. Lily chooses a yellow rocket. Max chooses a blue rocket. + +"Are you ready to blast off?" Lily asks Max. + +"Yes, I am ready!" Max says. "But we need fuel for our rockets. What can we use?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She sees a bottle of water on the table. She has an idea. + +"Let's use water as fuel!" she says. "We can fill our rockets with water and then squeeze them. The water will come out and make our rockets fly!" + +Max likes the idea. He nods and smiles. They fill their rockets with water and hold them in their hands. They count down from three. + +"Three, two, one, blast off!" they shout together. + +They squeeze their rockets and watch the water spray out. Their rockets zoom in the air. They make whooshing sounds and laugh. They have fun playing with rockets. They are happy. +Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play and have fun. She looked at her toys, but they seemed boring. She looked at her books, but they seemed too long. She looked at her window, but it was raining outside. + +She decided to imagine. She closed her eyes and thought of a big adventure. She imagined she was a pirate, sailing on a ship. She had a hat, a sword, and a parrot. She saw an island with a treasure. She wanted to find it. + +She jumped off her bed and grabbed a pillow. She pretended it was her ship. She sailed across the floor, dodging sharks and waves. She used a spoon as her sword and a sock as her parrot. She talked to her parrot in a funny voice. + +"Arr, matey, we're almost there. Do you see the X on the map?" she said. + +"Squawk, yes, captain, I see it. It's near the palm tree. Squawk," the parrot said. + +Lily reached the island, which was her rug. She searched for the X, which was a sticker. She dug with her spoon and found the treasure, which was a box of cookies. She opened it and smiled. + +"Yay, we did it! We found the treasure! Let's celebrate with a snack," she said. + +"Squawk, good job, captain. Cookies are yummy. Squawk," the parrot said. + +Lily ate a cookie and shared one with her parrot. She felt happy and proud. She also felt sleepy. She put the pillow, the spoon, the sock, and the box back in their places. She crawled back to her bed and snuggled under her blanket. She closed her eyes and dreamed of more adventures. She was not restless anymore. She was calm and cozy. +Anna likes to write. She has a big book and a red pen. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her cat's name. She writes big and small letters. She writes happy and sad faces. She likes to write. + +One day, Anna wants to write on the wall.

She writes happy and sad faces. She thinks the wall is pretty. + +But mom does not like it. Mom sees the wall and gets angry. She says, "Anna, what did you do? You cannot write on the wall. That is bad. You have to clean it." She gives Anna a wet cloth and a bucket of water. She tells Anna to wipe the wall until it is clean. + +Anna is sorry. She does not want to make mom angry. She takes the wet cloth and the bucket of water. She tries to wipe the wall. But the pen is dry. The pen does not come off. The wall is still red. Anna is sad. + +Mom sees Anna is sad. She says, "Anna, I know you like to write. But you have to write on paper, not on the wall. The wall is not for writing. The wall is for painting. Do you want to paint the wall with me?" She takes Anna to the store and buys some paint and some brushes. She says, "We can paint the wall any color you want. And we can write on paper later. OK?" + +Anna is happy. She says, "OK, mom. I want to paint the wall blue. And I want to write on paper with you. I love you, mom." She hugs mom and says, "I am sorry, mom. I will not write on the wall again." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you, too, Anna. It is OK. You are a good girl. And you are a good writer. Come on, let's paint the wall." She takes Anna to the wall and gives her a brush and some blue paint. They paint the wall together. They make the wall beautiful. + +When they are done, mom says, "You did a great job, Anna. The wall looks nice. Do you want some cream?" She takes Anna to the kitchen and gives her a bowl of cream. Anna likes cream. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. Can we write on paper now?" Mom says, "Yes, we can. Let's go to your book and your pen. And let's write a story." They go to Anna's book and pen. They write a story together. They are happy. +Lily liked to create things with her toys. She had blocks, dolls, cars, and animals. She made houses, schools, zoos, and hospitals. She pretended to be a teacher, a doctor, a driver, and a zookeeper. + +One day, she decided to create a hospital for her animals. She used a big box as the building, and put some blankets and pillows inside. She gave each animal a name and a problem. She had a bear with a sore paw, a lion with a bad tooth, a monkey with a cold, and a giraffe with a long neck. + +She asked her brother Sam to help her. Sam was older and knew many things. He was dependable and kind. He brought some tools and books from his room. He said, "Lily, I have an idea. Let's use this flashlight as an x-ray. We can see inside the animals and find out what is wrong with them." + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "Yes, Sam, let's do that. You can be the x-ray doctor and I can be the nurse. We can help the animals feel better." + +They took turns using the flashlight as an x-ray. They shone it on the animals and looked at their shadows. They pretended to see bones, teeth, hearts, and lungs. They made up stories about what they saw and how to fix it. They used bandages, stickers, spoons, and books as medicine and tools. They had fun and learned new things. + +The animals were happy and grateful. They thanked Lily and Sam for creating a hospital and being good doctors. Lily and Sam hugged the animals and each other. They were proud of their work and their imagination. They cleaned up their toys and put them away. They said, "We love to create things. Maybe tomorrow we can create something else." +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mailbox near the road. It was red and shiny and had a flag on it. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see," Tom said. + +"No, we can't. That's not ours. It's for the people who live here," Sam said. + +"But maybe there is something fun or yummy in it. Maybe a toy or a candy," Tom said. + +He ran to the mailbox and pulled the flag down. He opened the door and reached inside. He felt something soft and furry. He pulled it out. It was a cat! + +"Meow!" the cat said. It was not happy. It scratched Tom's face and jumped out of his arms. It ran away. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He had blood on his face and tears in his eyes. + +Sam ran to him and tried to help him. He saw a car coming down the road. It was the people who lived here. They saw Tom and Sam and the open mailbox and the cat running away. + +They were not happy. They stopped the car and got out. They yelled at Tom and Sam. + +"What did you do to our mailbox and our cat? How dare you? You are bad boys! We are going to tell your parents and the police!" they said. + +Tom and Sam were scared. They wished they had not opened the mailbox. They wished they had listened to Sam. They wished they could part and go home. But they could not. They had to face the angry people and the trouble they had made. They learned a hard lesson that day. The end. +Tom and Mia went to the big water place with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the big fish that lived in the water. Mom said they were called whales. Tom and Mia liked whales. They had a book with pictures of whales at home. + +They walked and walked until they came to a big glass wall. Behind the glass wall, there was a lot of water and some rocks and plants. Tom and Mia looked for the whales, but they could not see any. They felt sad. + +"Where are the whales, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"They are hiding, Tom. They are shy. We have to be patient and wait. Maybe they will come out soon." Mom said. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They sat on a bench and waited. They looked at the water and the rocks and the plants. They saw some small fish and some crabs. They were pretty, but they were not whales. + +Then, they heard a loud splash. They looked up and saw a big gray thing jump out of the water. It had a long tail and a big mouth. It made a funny noise. It was a whale! + +"Look, look, a whale!" Mia shouted. + +"Wow, a whale!" Tom shouted. + +They ran to the glass wall and pressed their noses against it. The whale came closer and looked at them. It seemed to smile. It made the funny noise again. Tom and Mia smiled back. They waved their hands. The whale waved its tail. + +"Hello, whale!" Tom and Mia said. + +"Hello, kids!" the whale seemed to say. + +Tom and Mia were very happy. They had seen a whale. The whale was very nice. It liked to display its tricks. They thanked the whale and said goodbye. They told Mom and Dad what they had seen. Mom and Dad were happy too. They said the whale was very smart and friendly. They said Tom and Mia were very patient and lucky. They all had a good day at the big water place. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their dog, Max. They liked to run and jump and throw a ball for Max to catch. Max was a good and obedient dog. He always came back when they called him and did not chase the birds or the squirrels. + +One day, they saw a deer in the park. It was brown and had big ears and a long tail. It was eating some grass near the trees. Anna and Ben were very excited. They wanted to see the deer up close. They ran towards it, but Max stayed behind. He knew he was not supposed to bother the deer. + +"Come on, Max!" Anna shouted. "Look at the deer! It is so pretty!" + +But Max did not move. He wagged his tail and barked softly, but he did not follow Anna and Ben. He remembered what his owner had told him: "Deer are wild animals. They can be scared or angry if you get too close. You have to be careful and respectful." + +Anna and Ben did not listen to Max. They kept running towards the deer, making a lot of noise. The deer heard them and lifted its head. It saw the two children and felt afraid. It did not want to play with them. It wanted to be left alone. It snorted and stamped its feet. Then it snapped its antlers at them, trying to scare them away. + +Anna and Ben were scared too. They stopped running and screamed. They turned around and ran back to Max. Max was waiting for them, wagging his tail and licking their faces. He was happy to see them safe. + +"Sorry, Max," Anna said. "You were right. The deer was not friendly. It snapped at us. It was scary." + +"Yes, Max," Ben said. "You are a smart and obedient dog. You know how to behave in the park. We should listen to you more." + +Max barked and wagged his tail. He was glad that Anna and Ben were sorry and learned their lesson. He hoped they would not bother the deer again. He loved his friends and wanted them to be happy and safe. He gave them a big hug and they threw the ball for him again. They had fun in the park, but they also respected the deer and the other animals. They were good and obedient children. +Lily loved sunflowers. She liked to look at their big yellow faces and feel their soft petals. She wanted to grow her own sunflower in the garden. She asked her mom for some seeds and a pot. Mom said yes and helped her plant the seeds. Lily watered them every day and waited for them to grow. + +One day, Lily saw a tiny green sprout in the pot. She was so happy. She ran to show her mom. "Look, mom, my sunflower is growing!" she said. Mom smiled and hugged her. "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good gardener," she said. + +Lily watched her sunflower grow bigger and bigger. She talked to it and sang to it. She named it Sunny. She wanted to share it with her friends. She invited them to come and see her sunflower. But when they came, they were not nice. They laughed at her sunflower and said it was too small and ugly. They said it was not a real sunflower. They said it was a weed. Lily felt sad and angry. She told them to go away. She hugged her sunflower and cried. + +Mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mean kids and the hurt sunflower. She asked Lily what happened. Lily told her everything. Mom hugged her and wiped her tears. She said, "Don't listen to them, Lily. They are wrong. Your sunflower is beautiful and special. It is a real sunflower. It is your sunflower. You worked hard and cared for it. You should be proud of it and yourself. And I'm proud of you, too." + +Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She felt better. She looked at her sunflower and saw that it had a small yellow bud. She knew it would soon bloom and be even more beautiful. She said, "I love you, Sunny. You are my friend. You make me happy." She hugged her sunflower and kissed it. Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "I love you, Lily. You are my sunshine. You make me happy, too." +Tom and Lily were going to the airport with their mom and dad. They had never been on a plane before and they were very curious. They wanted to know everything about the airport and the plane. + +"Mom, what is that big thing with wings?" Tom asked, pointing at a plane. + +"That is a plane, Tom. It can fly in the sky and take us to a new place," Mom said. + +"Wow, can we go inside the plane?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, we can, Lily. But first we have to check in our bags and show our tickets," Dad said. + +They followed their mom and dad to a big counter, where a lady took their bags and gave them some papers. Then they walked to a gate, where another lady scanned their papers and let them go through a door. + +"Where are we going now?" Tom asked. + +"We are going to the plane, Tom. See, there is a tunnel that connects the door to the plane. We have to walk through the tunnel and find our seats," Mom said. + +They walked through the tunnel and entered the plane. It was very big and had many rows of seats. A man in a blue uniform helped them find their seats and put their small bags in a bin above their heads. + +"Are you excited, Tom and Lily?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, we are, Dad. We want to see the sky and the clouds and the new place," Tom and Lily said. + +They buckled their seat belts and waited for the plane to start. They were very curious and happy. They knew they were going to have a fun adventure. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Lily and Tom want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Lily asks her mom. + +"Okay, but be careful. The slide is very high and fast. And don't go under the slide. There are sharp rocks under the slide," her mom says. + +Lily and Tom run to the slide. They take turns to go down. Lily goes first. She slides down very fast. She laughs and shouts. Tom goes next. He slides down very fast too. He smiles and waves. + +They have fun on the slide. They want to go again and again. But then they see something under the slide. It is a shiny ball. It is red and blue and yellow. It looks like a fun ball. + +"Look, a ball!" Tom says. + +"Let's get it!" Lily says. + +They run to the ball. They don't listen to Lily's mom. They go under the slide. They try to get the ball. But the ball is under a tight space. They have to crawl and squeeze to reach it. + +They get closer and closer to the ball. They don't see the sharp rocks under the slide. They don't hear Lily's mom calling them. They don't notice the big boy coming to the slide. + +The big boy is mean. He likes to push and kick. He sees Lily and Tom under the slide. He thinks they are in his way. He gets angry. He goes on the slide. He slides down very fast. He slides down very hard. + +He hits Lily and Tom with his feet. He hurts them. He makes them cry. He makes them bleed. He gets the ball. He laughs and runs away. + +Lily and Tom are hurt. They are sad. They are scared. They crawl out from under the slide. They call for Lily's mom. Lily's mom comes. She sees them. She is shocked. She is angry. She is sorry. + +She hugs them. She wipes their tears. She cleans their wounds. She takes them home. She says they were bad. They should have listened to her. They should not have gone under the slide. + +Lily and Tom are sorry too. They say they are sorry. They say they learned their lesson. They say they will never go under the slide again. They say they will be careful. They say they will be good. + +But they still have bad dreams. They still have scars. They still have pain. They still have fear. They still have no ball. They still have no fun. They still have no slide. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. Mom says they are apples and they can pick some. + +Sara and Ben run to the tree and reach for the apples. But they are too high. They jump and stretch, but they cannot touch them. They feel helpless. + +"Mom, help us!" they cry. + +Mom smiles and nods. She picks up a long stick and shakes the tree. Some apples fall to the ground. Sara and Ben clap and cheer. + +They pick up the apples and thank mom. They bite into the apples and make a face. The apples are not sweet. They are sour and hard. They spit them out. + +"Mom, these are not good apples!" they complain. + +Mom laughs and says, "These are not apples, they are crab apples. They are not for eating. They are for making gum." + +"Gum?" Sara and Ben ask. + +"Yes, gum. You can boil them and add sugar and make a sticky candy. Do you want to try?" mom asks. + +Sara and Ben nod. They like candy. They follow mom to the kitchen and help her make gum. They stir and pour and cut and wrap. They make many pieces of gum. + +They taste the gum and smile. The gum is sweet and soft. They chew and blow bubbles. They have fun. + +They share the gum with their friends and tell them the story of the crab apples. They are not helpless anymore. They are happy. +Lily liked to help her dad fix things in the house. She had her own toolbox with a hammer, a screwdriver and some nails. She followed her dad everywhere and asked him questions. + +One day, her dad was fixing the shower in the bathroom. The shower was weird. It made loud noises and sometimes sprayed water everywhere. Lily wanted to see what was wrong with it. + +"Dad, can I help you fix the shower?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily, you can hand me the tools I need. But be careful, the shower might be hot or wet," her dad said. + +Lily nodded and opened her toolbox. She gave her dad the screwdriver and watched him open the shower head. Inside, there was a lot of dirt and rust. + +"Look, Lily, this is why the shower is weird. It needs to be cleaned and replaced," her dad explained. + +Lily nodded again and handed him a rag and a new shower head. She saw her dad wipe the dirt and rust away and put the new shower head on. He turned on the water and tested it. + +"Wow, dad, you fixed the shower! It's not weird anymore. It's nice and quiet and smooth," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily, you were a great helper. Now, do you want to take a shower and try it out?" her dad asked. + +"Yes, dad, I do! But first, can I have a hug?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily, you can have a hug. You're my best fixer," her dad said and hugged her. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a penny. Sara picked it up and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a penny!" Sara said. "It is shiny and round. Maybe we can buy something with it." + +Ben looked at the penny and smiled. He liked shiny things too. He wanted to hold the penny. + +"Can I see it, Sara?" Ben asked. "Maybe it is interesting. Maybe it has a picture or a word on it." + +Sara gave the penny to Ben. He looked at it closely. He saw a face and some letters on it. He did not know what they meant. + +"It is interesting, Sara," Ben said. "But I don't know what it says. Do you know?" + +Sara shook her head. She did not know either. She wanted to see the penny again. + +"Let me see it, Ben," Sara said. "Maybe we can ask someone who knows." + +But before Sara could take the penny, a big dog came running towards them. It barked loudly and jumped on Ben. Ben dropped the penny and screamed. + +"Help, Sara, help!" Ben cried. "The dog is scary. It wants the penny." + +Sara was scared too. She did not like big dogs. She wanted to help Ben. She saw a man nearby. He was the dog's owner. He had a leash in his hand. + +"Sir, sir, please help us!" Sara shouted. "Your dog is scary. It is hurting Ben. It took our penny." + +The man heard Sara and saw the dog. He ran to them and grabbed the leash. He pulled the dog away from Ben. He was angry at the dog. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" the man said. "You should not jump on children. You should not take their things. I am sorry, kids. Are you okay?" + +Ben and Sara nodded. They were okay. But they were sad. They lost their penny. The man saw the penny on the ground. He picked it up and gave it to them. + +"Here, kids, this is your penny," the man said. "I am sorry my dog took it. He likes shiny things too. But he should not take things that are not his. You should be careful with shiny things. They can attract dogs and other animals. They might think they are food or toys. They might hurt you or your things. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Sara nodded again. They understood. They thanked the man and took the penny. They decided to put the penny in their pocket. They did not want to lose it again. They learned to warn each other about shiny things. They also learned to be careful with dogs and other animals. They still liked the penny. But they liked each other more. +Anna likes to do yoga with her mom. Yoga is when you make shapes with your body and breathe slowly. Anna thinks yoga is fun and good for her. She can do some yoga shapes, like a cat, a dog, and a tree. + +One day, Anna sees her mom's yoga mat. It is pink and soft and has flowers on it. Anna wants to borrow it and do yoga by herself. She asks her mom, "Mom, can I borrow your yoga mat, please?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Sure, Anna, you can borrow my yoga mat. But be careful and don't make it dirty or tear it. And put it back when you are done, okay?" + +Anna says, "Okay, mom, thank you!" She takes the yoga mat and rolls it out on the floor. She starts to do some yoga shapes. She does a cat, a dog, and a tree. Then she tries to do a new shape. She bends her legs and puts her feet on the mat. She lifts her hips and puts her hands on the floor. She looks like a bridge. + +Her mom sees her and says, "Wow, Anna, that is a very impressive yoga shape! You are doing great! How did you learn that?" + +Anna says, "I saw it in a book. It is called a bridge. It is hard, but I can do it. Do you want to try it, mom?" + +Her mom says, "Sure, Anna, I want to try it. But first, can I borrow your yoga mat?" +Jill and Sam were twins who liked to play dress-up. One day, they found their mom's makeup in her room. They wanted to try it on and look like grown-ups. They put on lipstick, eyeshadow, blush and mascara. They looked at themselves in the mirror and laughed. + +"Let's show mom how pretty we are!" Jill said. + +"Okay!" Sam agreed. + +They marched down the stairs, holding hands. They felt very proud and happy. They saw their mom in the kitchen, making cookies. + +"Mom, look at us!" Jill said. + +"Wow, you two are very colorful!" Mom said. She smiled, but she also looked surprised and a little worried. + +"Mom, do you like our makeup?" Sam asked. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you both very much, but I think your makeup is too much for you. Makeup is for grown-ups, not for little kids. It can hurt your skin and eyes if you use it too often or too much. And it can make you feel uncomfortable and itchy." + +Jill and Sam felt their faces and realized that mom was right. Their skin felt tight and dry, and their eyes felt heavy and watery. They did not feel very proud and happy anymore. They felt silly and sorry. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We just wanted to have fun and look like you. You're so pretty and we love you," Jill said. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We didn't know makeup was bad for us. We just wanted to try something new and be like you. You're so smart and we love you," Sam said. + +Mom kissed them and said, "It's okay, my darlings. I understand. You're curious and creative, and that's wonderful. But you don't need makeup to be pretty or smart. You're already beautiful and clever, just the way you are. And I love you more than anything. Now, let's go wash your faces and have some cookies, okay?" + +Jill and Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." + +They went to the bathroom and washed their faces. They felt much better and more comfortable. They learned that makeup was not for them, and that they were perfect without it. They joined their mom in the kitchen and enjoyed the cookies. They hugged their mom and thanked her for being the best mom ever. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Ben had a big idea. He wanted to make a plane with the blocks. He found a long block and a round block. He tried to attach the round block to the end of the long block. But it did not stick. He tried again and again, but it kept falling off. + +"Hey, Lily, can you help me?" Ben asked his sister. "I want to make a plane, but the blocks do not stick." + +Lily looked at Ben's blocks. She saw his problem. She had a solution. She ran to the garage and came back with a saw. She smiled and said, "I can help you, Ben. I can cut the round block so it fits the long block. Then you can attach them with glue." + +Ben was confused. He did not know what a saw was. He did not know what glue was. He did not want Lily to cut his blocks. He liked his blocks the way they were. He was afraid Lily would break them. + +"No, Lily, no!" Ben shouted. "Do not cut my blocks! Do not use that thing! Give it to me!" + +Ben tried to grab the saw from Lily, but Lily held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the saw. They did not see their mom coming into the living room. She saw them fighting over the saw. She was shocked and angry. + +"Ben! Lily! Stop that right now!" Mom yelled. "What are you doing with the saw? That is very dangerous! You could hurt yourselves or each other! Give it to me!" + +Mom took the saw from Ben and Lily. She put it away in the garage. She scolded them for playing with the saw. She told them to be careful with their blocks. She told them to share and help each other. She told them to say sorry to each other. + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to fight. They did not mean to make mom mad. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to play with the blocks together. They did not need a saw or glue. They used their imagination and creativity. They made a plane and a train and a boat with the blocks. They had fun and they were happy. +Lily likes to go to the library with her mom. She likes to look at the books with many pictures and colors. She likes to hear the stories that the librarian tells. + +One day, Lily sees a big book on a high shelf. She wants to see what is inside. She asks her mom to get it for her. Her mom says no, that book is for grown-ups. Lily feels sad and angry. She wants to see the book. + +She waits until her mom is talking to another mom. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the book. But the book is too heavy and big. It falls on the floor with a loud bang. Everyone in the library looks at Lily. She feels scared and embarrassed. + +Her mom runs to her and picks her up. She asks her if she is okay. She tells her that she should not touch the books that are not for her. She says she is sorry to the librarian and the other people. She points to the door and says they have to go home. + +Lily cries and says she is sorry too. She hugs her mom and says she loves her. Her mom hugs her back and says she loves her too. She says they can come back to the library another day and find a book that is for her. Lily nods and wipes her tears. She hopes the librarian and the other people are not mad at her. She hopes they will still let her hear the stories. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, swing and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +They climbed the tree carefully. They saw a big hole in the trunk. They looked inside the hole. They saw a shiny thing. It was a paper with many colors and shapes. They wondered what it was. + +"Look, Anna, a paper!" Ben said. "Maybe it is a map or a treasure!" + +"Let's take it out and see!" Anna said. "Maybe we can gain something from it!" + +They reached for the paper. But when they touched it, something strange happened. The paper made a loud noise. It sounded like a bird or a whistle. The paper flew out of the hole. It flew away in the sky. + +"Wow, what was that?" Ben said. "That was a mysterious paper!" + +"Maybe it was magic or a trick!" Anna said. "Let's follow it and see where it goes!" + +They climbed down the tree. They ran after the paper. They wanted to find out more about it. They had a new adventure. +Ben and Mia liked to play with gems. They had a big box of shiny gems that they found in the park. They liked to make necklaces and rings with them. One day, they saw a new gem in the box. It was big and red and sparkled a lot. + +"Wow, look at this gem!" Ben said. "It is so pretty! I want it for my necklace!" + +"No, I want it for my ring!" Mia said. "It is mine! Give it to me!" + +They both grabbed the gem and pulled hard. They did not want to share. They started to yell and fight. + +"Stop it! Stop it!" a voice said. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw them fighting. She was angry. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a gem? It is just a toy! You have to share and be nice to each other!" + +"But mom, this gem is special!" Ben said. "It can do magic! Watch!" + +He held the gem in his hand and said, "I wish Mia was a frog!" + +The gem glowed and made a sound. Mia felt a strange feeling. She looked at her hands and feet. They were green and slimy. She had turned into a frog! + +"Ribbit! Ribbit!" she croaked. She was scared and sad. + +"Ben, what did you do?" mom said. She was shocked and worried. "How did you do that? How can we change her back?" + +"I don't know, mom!" Ben said. He was sorry and scared too. "I just repeated what I heard on TV! It was a show about magic gems!" + +Mom looked at the gem. She saw a label on it. It said, "Warning: Do not repeat any wishes while holding this gem. They will come true. No refunds. No returns." + +Mom realized that the gem was not a toy. It was a real magic gem. And it was a very stupid gem. It did not care about people's feelings. It only did what it heard. + +She tried to repeat a wish to change Mia back. But nothing happened. The gem did not glow or make a sound. It did not work anymore. It had used up all its magic. + +Mom hugged Ben and the frog. She cried. She did not know what to do. She wished she had never bought the gem from the strange man at the park. She wished she had never let Ben and Mia play with it. She wished they could be happy again. But her wishes did not come true. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to swing on the vine that hung from the big tree. They took turns to push each other and go high in the air. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a mean boy came and saw them. He wanted to swing on the vine too. He did not ask nicely. He pushed Tom and Lily away and grabbed the vine. He said, "This is mine now. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like the mean boy. They wanted to swing on the vine again. They tried to get the vine back, but the mean boy was bigger and stronger. He shouted, "Shut up! Leave me alone!" + +Tom and Lily did not know what to do. They felt scared. But then, Lily had an idea. She whispered to Tom, "Let's be brave. Let's work together. Let's pull the vine when he is not looking." + +Tom nodded. He liked Lily's idea. They waited for the right moment. When the mean boy was swinging high, they ran to the vine and pulled it hard. The mean boy lost his grip and fell to the ground. He cried and ran away. + +Tom and Lily cheered. They got the vine back. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We are brave!" They swung on the vine again and had more fun. They were happy. +Lisa loves her scarf. It is red and soft and warm. She wears it every day when she goes outside. She likes to touch it and feel it on her neck. + +One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She sees a boy playing with a ball. He has no scarf. He looks cold and sad. Lisa wants to help him. + +She runs to him and says, "Hi, I am Lisa. Do you want to play with me?" + +The boy nods and smiles. He says, "Hi, I am Ben. Yes, I want to play with you." + +They play with the ball and have fun. Lisa sees that Ben is still cold. She takes off her scarf and wraps it around his neck. She says, "Here, you can have my scarf. It will make you warm and comfortable." + +Ben is surprised and happy. He says, "Thank you, Lisa. You are very kind. Your scarf is very nice. Can I touch it?" + +Lisa nods and says, "Yes, you can touch it. It is soft and cozy. Do you like it?" + +Ben touches the scarf and says, "Yes, I like it very much. It feels good. Can we be friends?" + +Lisa smiles and says, "Yes, we can be friends. Friends share and care. Come on, let's play some more." + +They hold hands and run to the slide. They slide down and laugh. They are happy and warm. They have a new scarf and a new friend. +Anna liked to help her mom in the garden. She wore a red apron to keep her dress clean. She helped mom dig holes and plant seeds. She liked to see the flowers grow. + +One day, Anna saw a big, shiny rock in the dirt. She wanted to keep it for herself. She did not show it to mom. She hid it under her apron and ran to her room. She put the rock in a box and buried it under her toys. + +Mom looked for Anna. She saw her red apron on the floor. She picked it up and felt something heavy. She opened the apron and saw the rock. She was angry. She knew the rock was from the garden. She went to Anna's room and knocked on the door. + +Anna heard mom and was scared. She knew she did something bad. She did not open the door. She hoped mom would go away. + +Mom did not go away. She opened the door and saw the box under the toys. She pulled it out and opened it. She saw the rock and the dirt. She was very angry. She said to Anna, "You took the rock from the garden. You lied to me. You buried it in your room. You made a mess. You are a bad girl. You have to give the rock back and clean your room. You are not allowed to play in the garden anymore." + +Anna cried. She was sorry. She did not mean to be bad. She loved the rock and wanted to have it. She did not think mom would mind. She said to mom, "I'm sorry, mom. I like the rock. It is pretty. I did not want to share it. I did not know it was from the garden. Please don't be mad at me. Please let me play in the garden again." + +Mom said to Anna, "You should have asked me first. You should have been honest. You should have shared the rock. You should have respected the garden. You should have been a good girl. Now you have to learn your lesson. You have to give the rock back and clean your room. You have to stay in your room until dinner. You have to say sorry to the garden. Maybe then I will let you play in the garden again." + +Anna gave the rock back and cleaned her room. She stayed in her room until dinner. She said sorry to the garden. She was sad. She wished she had not taken the rock. She wished she had been a good girl. She learned her lesson. She never took anything from the garden again. She always asked mom first. She always shared. She always respected the garden. She always wore her red apron. She always helped mom in the garden. She liked to see the flowers grow. +Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. But they do not like the yellow planet. The yellow planet is big and round and hangs in the sky. It makes them hot and sweaty and thirsty. + +One day, Jen and Tom are playing in the park. They see the yellow planet shining bright. They feel the heat on their skin. They frown and say: + +"I hate the yellow planet. It hurts my eyes and makes me tired. I wish it would go away." + +"Me too. I hate the yellow planet. It burns my nose and makes me thirsty. I wish it would rain." + +They look at the clouds and hope for rain. But the clouds are small and white and far away. They do not cover the yellow planet. They do not bring water. + +Jen and Tom are sad and angry. They sit under a tree and try to hide from the yellow planet. They do not want to play anymore. They want to go home and drink cold water and eat ice cream. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is their friend Sam. Sam is smiling and waving. He has a big hat and a bottle of water and a ball. He runs to Jen and Tom and says: + +"Hi, Jen and Tom. Do you want to play with me? I love the yellow planet. It makes me happy and warm and bright. It is my favorite planet." + +Jen and Tom are surprised. They look at Sam and then at the yellow planet. They do not understand. How can Sam love the yellow planet? How can he be happy and warm and bright? They shake their heads and say: + +"No, Sam. We do not want to play with you. We hate the yellow planet. It makes us sad and hot and tired. It is our least favorite planet." + +Sam is confused. He looks at Jen and Tom and then at the yellow planet. He does not understand. How can Jen and Tom hate the yellow planet? How can they be sad and hot and tired? He shrugs his shoulders and says: + +"OK, Jen and Tom. I am sorry you hate the yellow planet. But I love it. It is my friend. It gives me light and energy and fun. I will play with it." + +Sam takes his ball and throws it in the air. He catches it and laughs. He runs and jumps and spins. He does not care about the heat or the thirst or the tiredness. He only cares about the yellow planet. + +Jen and Tom watch Sam. They see him play and laugh and enjoy. They feel a little curious and a little jealous. They wonder if they are missing something. They wonder if they can learn to love the yellow planet too. They look at each other and say: + +"Maybe we should try to play with Sam. Maybe we should try to like the yellow planet. Maybe it is not so bad after all." + +They get up and walk to Sam. They ask him if they can join him. Sam smiles and says: + +"Sure, Jen and Tom. You can play with me. You can play with the yellow planet. It is fun. It is not scary. It is not mean. It is just yellow." + +Jen and Tom nod and smile. They take the ball and throw it in the air. They catch it and laugh. They run and jump and spin. They do not mind the heat or the thirst or the tiredness. They only mind the fun. They forget about their hate. They start to like the yellow planet. They start to make a new friend. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make food with the pots and pans. But they knew they had to be careful, because some of the pots and pans were hot and could hurt them. Mommy always told them not to touch the stove or the oven. + +One day, they found a big pan on the floor. It was shiny and had a lid. They wondered what was inside. Anna lifted the lid and saw something furry and brown. It was a bunny! The bunny looked scared and sad. Anna and Ben felt sorry for the bunny. They wanted to help it. + +"Where did you come from, bunny?" Anna asked. "Did someone put you in the pan?" + +The bunny nodded. It made a soft noise. It sounded like it was saying, "Please, let me out." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They decided to escape with the bunny. They took the pan and ran to the door. But before they could open it, they heard Mommy's voice. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing with that pan?" Mommy asked. "That's not a toy. That's our dinner!" + +Anna and Ben gasped. They realized that Mommy was going to cook the bunny. They felt very bad. They knew they had to save the bunny. It was important. + +"Mommy, no!" Anna cried. "This is not dinner. This is our friend. We want to keep the bunny. Please, Mommy, please!" + +Mommy looked surprised. She saw the bunny in the pan. She saw the tears in Anna and Ben's eyes. She felt sorry for them. She realized that she had made a mistake. She had bought the bunny from the market, but she had forgotten to tell Anna and Ben. + +"Anna, Ben, I'm sorry," Mommy said. "I didn't know you liked the bunny. I thought you would like to eat it. But I see that you love it. You can keep the bunny. But you have to take good care of it. And you have to promise me not to play with the pots and pans anymore. OK?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They hugged the bunny. They thanked Mommy. They were happy. They had escaped with the bunny. They had a new friend. +Tom and Amy are twins. They like to do things together. They like to play, read, and eat. But they also like to be original.

He writes T-O-M on his toast. He is proud of his work. He shows it to Mom and Amy. + +Amy thinks for a moment. She does not want to print her name on her toast. She wants to be original. She takes a knife and some jam. She makes a smiley face on her toast. She is happy with her work. She shows it to Mom and Tom. + +Mom smiles at them. She says they are both very clever and original. She says they can eat their toast now. She gives them some milk and fruit. + +Tom and Amy eat their toast. They say it is yummy and fun. They thank Mom for the toaster and the jam. They hug each other and Mom. They are happy. They are original. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two rocks for eyes and a stick for a mouth. They named him Sam. + +"Hello, Sam!" Anna said. "You are our friend. We like you." + +"Hello, Anna and Ben!" Sam said. "You are very kind. You made me happy." + +Anna and Ben were surprised. They did not know that snowmen could talk. They smiled and hugged Sam. + +But then, they saw a big yellow thing in the sky. It was the sun. It was very bright and warm. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "The sun will melt Sam. He will go away. We will lose him." + +Anna and Ben were sad. They did not want to lose Sam. They wanted to keep him. + +"Is there anything we can do?" Anna asked. + +Sam thought for a moment. Then he said, "There is one thing. You can help me fly." + +"Fly?" Anna and Ben said. "How can you fly?" + +Sam pointed to a big hill. There was a sled on top of it. + +"You can put me on the sled. Then you can push me down the hill. I will go very fast. I will fly in the air. I will see the world. I will be happy." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were scared. The hill was very high and steep. The sled was very fast and slippery. They did not know if they could do it. + +But they loved Sam. They wanted him to be happy. They decided to be brave. + +"OK, Sam," Anna said. "We will help you fly. We will go with you." + +They lifted Sam and put him on the sled. They climbed on the sled behind him. They held him tight. + +"Are you ready?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I am," Sam said. "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are the best friends ever." + +They pushed the sled down the hill. They went very fast. They felt the wind in their faces. They saw the trees and the houses and the birds. They heard Sam laugh. + +They flew in the air. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a poppy with a red flower. Lily likes the poppy. She wants to pick it and smell it. + +"Can I have the poppy, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"No, it is mine. I saw it first," Tom says. He is angry. He does not want to share. + +Lily is sad. She tries to take the poppy from Tom. Tom pulls it back. They tug and tug. The poppy breaks. The red flower falls to the ground. + +"Oh no! Look what you did!" Tom shouts. He is more angry. He throws the poppy stem at Lily. + +Lily cries. She does not like Tom. She runs to her mom. Her mom hugs her and wipes her tears. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Tom was not nice. He should have shared the poppy with you," her mom says. + +"Can we find another poppy, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe. But first, let's go inside and have a snack. It is getting dark. We need to close the door and the windows," her mom says. + +Lily nods. She holds her mom's hand. She hopes to see another poppy tomorrow. She hopes Tom will be nicer too. +Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They share a room and a bed. One morning, Tom wakes up early. He sees a big pine tree outside the window. He likes the pine tree. It is green and tall and smells good. + +Tom wants to show Sue the pine tree. He shakes Sue and says, "Sue, Sue, wake up! Look at the pine tree! It is so pretty!" + +But Sue does not want to wake up. She is sleepy and grumpy. She pulls the blanket over her head and says, "Tom, go away! Let me sleep! I don't care about the pine tree!" + +Tom is sad and angry. He thinks Sue is mean and selfish. He says, "Sue, you are not nice! The pine tree is generous. It gives us shade and air and cones. You should be thankful and happy!" + +Sue is still sleepy and grumpy. She says, "Tom, you are not smart! The pine tree is not generous. It is just a tree. It does not give us anything. It only makes noise and drops needles and bugs. You should be quiet and leave me alone!" + +Tom and Sue start to yell and fight. They pull the blanket and push each other. They make a lot of noise and mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Tom and Sue fighting and the bed and the floor in disarray. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Sue, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you making such a mess?" + +Tom and Sue stop fighting and look at Mom. They feel ashamed and sorry. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We were fighting about the pine tree. Tom likes it and Sue hates it. We could not agree and we got mad." + +Mom sighs and says, "Tom and Sue, you are both wrong. The pine tree is not generous or mean. It is just a tree. It has its own beauty and purpose. You can like it or not, but you should respect it and each other. You should not fight and make a mess. You should be kind and clean." + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "Mom, you are right. We are sorry. We will be kind and clean. We will respect the pine tree and each other." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. Now, get up and get ready for breakfast. And don't forget to say good morning to the pine tree. It might surprise you with a gift." + +Tom and Sue get up and get ready for breakfast. They look at the pine tree and say, "Good morning, pine tree. Thank you for being here. We are sorry for fighting. Do you have a gift for us?" + +The pine tree does not answer, but it sways in the wind and drops a cone on the ground. Tom and Sue see the cone and smile. They think it is a gift from the pine tree. They pick it up and say, "Thank you, pine tree. This is a nice gift. We will keep it and remember you." + +They hug each other and go to breakfast. They are happy and peaceful. They have learned a lesson from the pine tree. +Jill and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to go to the ocean with their moms. They packed their bags with swimsuits, towels, and snacks. Jill had a new swimsuit with a zip on the back. She was very proud of it and thought it was attractive. + +When they got to the ocean, they saw the big waves and the blue water. They ran to the sand and put their bags down. Jill wanted to show Tom her new swimsuit, so she turned around and asked him to zip it up for her. Tom tried to pull the zip, but it was stuck. He pulled harder, but it did not move. He pulled even harder, but it broke off. Jill's swimsuit fell down and she was very embarrassed. + +Tom said he was sorry and tried to help Jill. He gave her his towel to cover up. Jill was angry and sad. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She wanted to go home. She told her mom what happened and asked to leave. Her mom said they could not leave yet, because they had to wait for Tom's mom. She said she would find her a new swimsuit at the shop. + +Jill did not want a new swimsuit. She wanted her old one with the zip. She thought it was the most attractive swimsuit ever. She did not know that Tom liked it too. He thought Jill was the most attractive girl ever.

They like to play outside in the yard. They have a big tree with many leaves. In fall, the leaves turn red and yellow and brown. They fall to the ground and make a big pile. + +One day, Lily and Ben decide to jump in the pile of leaves. They run and laugh and have fun. They throw leaves in the air and catch them. They make leaf hats and leaf crowns. They pretend to be kings and queens of the yard. + +But then, Ben sees a leaf that is very big and pretty. It is red and yellow and green. He picks it up and shows it to Lily. "Look, Lily, this is the best leaf ever! It is so big and pretty! I want to keep it!" + +Lily looks at the leaf and likes it too. She wants to have it. She says to Ben, "No, Ben, I want the leaf! It is so big and pretty! Give it to me!" + +Ben says, "No, Lily, it is mine! I found it first! You can have another leaf!" + +Lily and Ben start to pull the leaf. They pull and pull and pull. They do not want to share. They do not listen to each other. They are angry and mean. + +But then, something bad happens. The leaf tears in half. It makes a loud sound. It is not big and pretty anymore. It is broken and sad. Lily and Ben stop pulling. They look at the leaf. They look at each other. They feel sorry and sad. + +They say to each other, "I am sorry, Ben. I am sorry, Lily. I was mean. I should have shared. Can we be friends again?" + +They hug and say, "Yes, we can be friends again. We love each other. We do not need the leaf.

He looks at his truck and sees that it is empty. He says, "Oh no, my truck has no fuel. It needs fuel to go." + +Sam hears Tom and comes to help. He looks at his truck and sees that it has some fuel left. He says, "Don't worry, Tom. I have some fuel in my truck. I can share with you. Sharing is good." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. Can you give me some fuel, please?" + +Sam nods and says, "Yes, of course. Here you go." He takes a small bottle from his truck and pours some fuel into Tom's truck. He says, "There, now your truck has fuel. It can go again." + +Tom says, "Yay, my truck can go again. Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. Do you want to play more?" + +Sam says, "Yes, I do.

She's my best friend." + +The woman nodded. She said, "Lily is a very pretty doll. And you are a very sweet girl. But I'm not Lily's mom. I'm just a woman who likes black." + +Sara was confused. She looked at the woman and Lily. They looked the same. How could they not be family? + +The woman saw Sara's face. She said, "Don't worry, Sara. Sometimes people look alike, but they are not related. It's just a coincidence. A coincidence is when something happens by chance, not by plan." + +Sara thought about it. She said, "Oh, I see. A coincidence. Like when I find a penny on the street, or when I see a rainbow in the sky." + +The woman laughed. She said, "Yes, exactly. A coincidence. It's a fun word, isn't it?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, it is. A coincidence. Thank you for teaching me, woman." + +The woman hugged Sara. She said, "You're welcome, Sara. You're a very smart girl. And a very kind girl.

They called them vegetables and made faces when their mom put them on their plates. + +One day, mom said, "If you eat your vegetables, you can have a treat. If you don't, you have to pay me a coin." Lily and Ben did not want to pay, but they also did not want to eat. They had a plan. They hid their vegetables under their napkins and pretended to be full. Mom did not notice and gave them a treat. They were happy and ran to their room. + +But mom was not foolish. She saw the lumps under the napkins and knew what they did. She followed them to their room and knocked on the door. "Lily and Ben, I have a surprise for you," she said. "Can I come in?" + +Lily and Ben thought mom had another treat for them. They opened the door and smiled. But mom did not have a treat. She had a big bowl of vegetables. "Surprise!" she said. "You have to eat these now, or you have to pay me two coins each. And no more treats for a week." + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They realized their plan was bad. They had to eat the vegetables they hated, or pay mom money they wanted. They wished they had eaten their vegetables before. They learned their lesson. They never hid their vegetables again. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she found a big spoon in the kitchen. She wondered what it was for. She picked it up and felt its weight. She saw her reflection in the shiny metal. + +She decided to play with the spoon. She ran to the living room and threw it on the floor. It made a loud clank.

It was a toy mouse. + +Lily was surprised and happy. She loved toy mice. She hugged the mouse and smiled. She forgot about the spoon. She ran to her room and put the mouse on her bed.

And maybe something else. +Sara and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy for dinner. But Mom and Dad said they had no money for pizza or burgers. They said they had to eat something cheap. + +"What is cheap?" Sara asked. + +"Something that does not cost a lot of money," Mom said. "Like spaghetti. We have spaghetti in the cupboard. We can make it with sauce and cheese." + +Sara and Tom did not like spaghetti. They thought it was boring and slimy. They made a face. + +"Please, Mom, can we have something else?" Tom begged. + +"No, we can't," Mom said. "Spaghetti is all we have. And it is good for you. It has protein and carbs. You need them to grow big and strong." + +Mom put a big pot of water on the stove. She opened a box of spaghetti and poured it in. She stirred it with a wooden spoon. Then she opened a jar of sauce and poured it in another pot. She heated it up. She grated some cheese in a bowl. + +Sara and Tom watched her. They hoped she would change her mind. They hoped she would reveal a surprise. Maybe she had hidden some chicken nuggets or hot dogs in the fridge. Maybe she had a coupon for ice cream. + +But Mom did not reveal anything. She just smiled and said, "Dinner is ready. Come and get it." + +She put some spaghetti on each plate. She added some sauce and cheese. She gave them forks and napkins. She said, "Bon appetit!" + +Sara and Tom looked at their plates. They did not want to eat. They wanted to cry. + +But then they saw something. Something shiny and sparkly. Something that made them gasp. + +"What is that?" Sara asked. + +"It looks like a ring!" Tom said. + +They picked up their forks and poked at the spaghetti. They moved it aside. They revealed a silver ring with a blue stone. It was beautiful. + +"Wow!" Sara and Tom said. + +Mom and Dad laughed. They said, "Surprise! We have a special announcement. We are getting married!" + +Sara and Tom were happy. They hugged Mom and Dad. They said, "Congratulations! We love you!" + +They forgot about the spaghetti. They did not care that it was cheap. They only cared that Mom and Dad were happy. And that they had a new family. + +They put on the ring and took turns. They pretended to be princes and princesses. They ate some spaghetti. They said it was not so bad. They said it was the best dinner ever. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite ones are the red and blue ones that make loud noises. They pretend that their cars are racing on the road, and they make vroom-vroom sounds with their mouths. + +One day, Tim and Kim are playing with their cars, when Tim notices that his red car is not making any noise. He shakes it and taps it, but it still does not work. He looks at the bottom of the car and sees a small hole. He remembers that his dad told him that cars need fuel to run, and that fuel is a liquid that goes inside the hole. He thinks that his red car is out of fuel, and he needs to find some. + +He sees a bottle of juice on the table, and he thinks that juice is a kind of fuel. He grabs the bottle and pours some juice into the hole of his red car. He hopes that his car will start making noise again, but instead, he hears a sputter and a pop. He sees smoke coming out of his car, and he smells something bad. He realizes that he has broken his car, and he feels sad and angry. + +He looks at Kim, who is still playing with her blue car. He feels jealous of her, and he wants to take her car. He runs to her and snatches her car from her hands. He says, "This is my car now! You broke my car, so I take your car!" + +Kim is shocked and upset. She says, "No, this is my car! You did not break your car, you broke our car! We share our cars, remember? You are being mean and grumpy!" + +Tim and Kim start to fight over the blue car. They pull and tug and yell at each other. They do not notice that their mom is watching them from the door. She is not happy with what she sees. She walks to them and takes the blue car from them. She says, "Stop fighting, both of you! You are not being nice to each other. You need to learn to share and care for your toys. And you need to learn that juice is not fuel for cars. Juice is fuel for you. You need to eat and drink to stay healthy and happy. Come, let's go to the kitchen and have some snacks. Maybe you will feel better after that." + +Tim and Kim feel ashamed and sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Kim. We are sorry, Tim. We were being silly and grumpy. We love our cars, and we love each other. Can we have our cars back, please?" + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "Of course you can. But first, let's go and eat some fuel. And then, we can clean your cars and fix them. Maybe they will work again, if we are gentle and careful with them." + +Tim and Kim nod and follow their mom. They learn that juice is not fuel for cars, but for them. They learn that sharing and caring is better than fighting and breaking. They learn that eating and drinking makes them less grumpy and more happy. They learn a lot from their toy cars. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a bow and arrow. Ben likes to shoot his arrow at the doll and make her fall down. Lily does not like that. She says, "Stop it, Ben! You are hurting my doll!" + +Ben does not stop. He shoots his arrow again and hits the doll in the head. Lily gets angry and grabs the bow from Ben. She says, "Now you are in trouble, Ben! You are going to jail!" She puts the bow around Ben's neck and drags him to the closet. She says, "This is your jail. You have to stay here until you say sorry." + +Ben does not like the closet. It is dark and small and scary. He says, "Lily, let me out! I don't like the jail! I am sorry, I won't shoot your doll again!" + +Lily does not hear him. She is busy playing with her doll. She says, "There, there, my doll. You are okay. I will give you a hug and a kiss. You are warm and soft and pretty." + +Ben cries in the closet. He wishes he had not shot the doll. He wishes he had played nicely with Lily. He hopes she will let him out soon. He says, "Lily, please, please, let me out! I want to play with you!" +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the big boats on the water. One day, they saw a very big boat with a white sail. It was a yacht. + +"Wow, look at that yacht!" Lily said. "It is so big and pretty. I wish we could go on it." + +"Me too," Tom said. "Maybe we can plan a way to get on it. We can pretend we are pirates and take it for a ride." + +Lily and Tom smiled and nodded. They made a plan to sneak on the yacht when no one was looking. They waited until the sun was low and the people were gone. Then they ran to the yacht and climbed on board. + +They felt very excited and happy. They looked around the yacht and saw many things. There were chairs, a table, a bed, a kitchen, and a wheel. Tom went to the wheel and pretended to steer the yacht. + +"Arr, matey, we are the pirates of the park!" he said. "We can go anywhere we want." + +Lily went to the kitchen and pretended to cook some food. She found some crackers and cheese and put them on a plate. + +"Here, captain, have some pirate food," she said. "It is very yummy." + +They ate the crackers and cheese and laughed. They felt like they were having a great adventure. They did not see the man who came on the yacht. He was the owner of the yacht. He was very angry and surprised to see Lily and Tom. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" he shouted. "This is my yacht. You are not allowed to be here. Get off now!" + +Lily and Tom heard the man and felt very fearful. They dropped the crackers and cheese and ran to the edge of the yacht. They saw the water and felt more fearful. They did not know how to swim. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "We are sorry, mister. We just wanted to play. Please don't be mad at us." + +The man saw how fearful they were and felt sorry for them. He calmed down and went to them. + +"Okay, okay, don't cry," he said. "I won't hurt you. But you have to promise me never to do this again. It is very dangerous and wrong to sneak on someone else's yacht. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said they were sorry. They promised to never do it again. The man helped them get off the yacht and took them to the park. He gave them a hug and told them to be careful. He also gave them a toy boat each to play with. + +"Here, you can have these boats," he said. "They are not as big as a yacht, but they are safer and more fun. You can play with them in the pond. But remember, always ask permission before you go on someone else's boat. And always wear a life jacket. Okay?" + +Lily and Tom thanked the man and said okay. They felt relieved and happy. They took the toy boats and went to the pond. They played with them and pretended to be pirates again. But this time, they were good pirates who respected other people's boats. They learned their lesson and had a good time. +Anna and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to make different patterns with the colors and shapes. Anna made a red square, a blue circle, a yellow triangle, and a green star. Ben made a purple heart, an orange diamond, a pink flower, and a brown bear. + +"Look at my pattern!" Anna said. "It is very pretty and bright." + +"Look at my pattern!" Ben said. "It is very cute and fun." + +They both smiled and clapped their hands. They were very clever and proud of their patterns. + +Then they heard their mom call them. "Time for a drink, kids! Come and get some juice!" + +They ran to the kitchen and saw two cups of juice on the table. One was red and one was purple. + +"Which one do you want, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"I want the red one, because it matches my square," Anna said. + +"I want the purple one, because it matches my heart," Ben said. + +They took their cups and drank their juice. It was sweet and cold and yummy. + +But then they felt something funny in their mouths. They looked at each other and saw that their tongues had changed colors! + +"Anna, your tongue is purple!" Ben said. + +"Ben, your tongue is red!" Anna said. + +They laughed and laughed. They realized that their mom had tricked them. She had swapped the juice colors to match their patterns. + +"Mom, you are very funny and sneaky!" Anna said. + +"Mom, you are very smart and silly!" Ben said. + +They hugged their mom and thanked her for the juice. They liked the surprise and the joke. They learned that patterns can be fun in different ways. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big toy car in the yard. It had four wheels, a horn and a key. Tom said, "Let's drive this car and have fun!" Sue said, "OK, but we have to be careful and not go too far." + +They got in the car and turned the key. The car made a loud noise and started to move. Tom and Sue laughed and waved to their moms, who were watching from the porch. They drove around the yard, honking the horn and singing songs. They felt very happy and free. + +But then, Tom saw a big hole in the fence. He said, "Look, Sue, there is a cave over there! Let's go and see what's inside!" Sue said, "No, Tom, we can't. Mom said we have to stay in the yard. The cave might be dark and scary." Tom said, "Don't be silly, Sue. It will be fun. Come on, let's go!" + +He drove the car through the hole and into the cave. Sue was scared, but she did not want to be left alone. She followed Tom into the cave. The cave was dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises and felt something moving. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wanted to go back, but they did not know how. + +Suddenly, they saw a light. It was a flashlight. It was their moms, who had followed them. They were angry and worried. They said, "Tom and Sue, what have you done? You have been very naughty and foolish. You could have been hurt or lost. You have to listen to us and follow the rules. We love you and we want you to be safe." + +Tom and Sue felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, moms. We were wrong. We wanted to have fun, but we did not think. We will not do it again. Please forgive us." Their moms hugged them and said, "We forgive you, but you have to learn from this. Fun is good, but not when it is dangerous or disobedient. You have to be careful and respectful. That is how you grow up to be good and happy." + +They got out of the cave and back into the yard. They saw that the car was pink. It was covered with mud and dirt. They said, "Oh no, we have ruined the car. It was so pretty and clean. How can we fix it?" Their moms said, "You have to clean it and take care of it. It is not yours, it belongs to Mr. Lee, the neighbor. He lent it to us for you to play. You have to say sorry to him and thank him for his kindness." + +Tom and Sue nodded and agreed. They cleaned the car and drove it to Mr. Lee's house. They said sorry and thank you to him. He smiled and said, "It's OK, kids. I'm glad you are OK. But next time, be more careful and responsible. And don't go into the cave. It is not safe. There are bats and spiders and snakes in there. You are lucky you did not meet them." + +Tom and Sue shivered and said, "We are lucky, indeed. We will not go into the cave again. We have learned our lesson. Thank you, Mr. Lee." They drove the car back to their yard and parked it. They said goodbye to their moms and hugged each other. They said, "We are still friends, right?" They said, "Yes, we are. But we have to be better friends. We have to help each other and listen to each other. And we have to listen to our moms, too. They know what's best for us." + +They smiled and went inside to have some cookies and milk. They were happy and grateful. They had had a big adventure, but they had also learned a big lesson. They had learned to be careful, respectful and responsible. They had learned to value their friendship and their family. They had learned to have fun, but not at the cost of their safety or their trust. They had learned to be good kids. +Ben and Lily liked to play soccer with their friends. They had a big ball and a small goal in their yard. Sometimes they dreamed of playing in a big stadium, where many people would watch and cheer for them. + +One day, their dad said he had a surprise for them. He took them to a big stadium, where a real soccer game was happening. Ben and Lily were very happy and excited. They saw the players run and kick and score. They heard the people shout and clap and sing. They felt the sun and the wind and the grass. + +But after the game, they were very dirty and sweaty. Their dad said they had to bathe before they could have dinner. Ben and Lily did not want to bathe. They said they were not dirty, they were just having fun. They said they wanted to play more soccer in the yard. They said bathing was boring and hard. + +Their dad was not happy. He said bathing was important and good. He said bathing made them clean and healthy and fresh. He said bathing was not boring and hard, it was fun and easy. He said he would bathe with them and show them how to make bubbles and splash and sing. + +Ben and Lily agreed to try. They went to the bathroom and filled the tub with water and soap. Their dad joined them and helped them wash their hair and body. He showed them how to make bubbles and splash and sing. Ben and Lily liked bathing. They said it was fun and easy. They said they felt clean and healthy and fresh. + +Their dad smiled and hugged them. He said he was proud of them. He said they learned a new thing today. He said bathing was not only important and good, but also fun and easy. He said they could play more soccer tomorrow, but they had to bathe every day. + +Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They said they understood. They said they loved their dad and soccer and bathing. They said they had a crazy and wonderful day. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They enjoyed making pretend food with pots and pans and spoons. One day, they decided to make a cake for their mom. + +"Let's use flour and sugar and eggs and milk," said Lily, taking out the ingredients from the cupboard. + +"OK, and we need a bowl and a mixer and a spoon," said Ben, looking for the tools in the drawer. + +They poured and cracked and mixed and stirred, making a big mess on the table and the floor. They did not notice that their mom was watching them with a smile. + +"Wow, what a charming cake you are making," she said, coming into the kitchen. "But I think it needs one more thing." + +"What is it, mom?" asked Lily and Ben, excited. + +"It needs some water," said mom, turning on the faucet. "But not too much, or it will be too wet." + +She helped them add some water to the bowl, and then showed them how to pour the batter into a cake pan. She put the pan in the oven and set the timer. + +"Now, we have to clean up the kitchen," she said. "Can you help me?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked to help their mom. They took the pots and pans and spoons to the sink and washed them with soap and water. They wiped the table and the floor with a cloth. They sang a song while they worked. + +Soon, the kitchen was clean and the cake was done. Mom took it out of the oven and let it cool. She cut a slice for each of them and put some frosting on top. + +"Thank you for making this cake for me," she said, giving them a hug and a kiss. "You are the best twins ever." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They enjoyed making the cake and cleaning the kitchen. They enjoyed eating the cake and sharing it with their mom. They enjoyed being together and having fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They also liked to look at the people and the animals. Sometimes they saw unusual things, like a man with a long beard or a dog with a pink bow. + +One day, they saw a woman with a big hat. The hat was very unusual. It had many colors and shapes and things on it. There were flowers and feathers and stars and bells. The hat made a lot of noise when the woman moved. + +"Wow, look at that hat!" Ben said to Lily. "It is so funny and pretty!" + +"I want to see it closer!" Lily said. She ran towards the woman with the hat. Ben followed her. + +"Hello, lady!" Lily said. "Can I touch your hat?" + +The woman smiled. She liked children. She bent down and let Lily touch her hat. + +"Be careful, dear," she said. "This hat is very special. It is a magic hat. It can do many things." + +"Like what?" Ben asked. + +"Well, it can make you fly, or turn invisible, or change your voice, or anything you wish," the woman said. + +"Really?" Lily asked. She was very curious. She wanted to try the hat. + +She grabbed the hat from the woman's head. She put it on her own head. She felt a tingling in her body. + +"Look, Ben, I have the hat!" she said. "What should I wish for?" + +But before Ben could answer, something strange happened. The hat started to glow and spin. It made a loud sound. Lily felt a pull. She lifted off the ground. She was flying! + +"Help!" she cried. "I don't want to fly! I want to go back!" + +Ben was scared. He did not know what to do. He saw the woman looking worried. + +"Quick, dear, take off the hat!" the woman shouted. "It is too powerful for you! You have to say the magic word!" + +"What is the magic word?" Ben asked. + +The woman thought for a moment. She did not remember. She had not used the hat for a long time. + +"Um, I think it is... please?" she said. + +"Please!" Ben repeated. He hoped it would work. + +"Please!" Lily said. She was very high in the air. She did not like it. She wanted to be with Ben. + +She took off the hat. She threw it down. She started to fall. + +"Ben, catch me!" she screamed. + +Ben ran to catch her. He stretched his arms. He caught her. He hugged her. He was glad she was safe. + +The woman ran to them. She picked up her hat. She looked at them. + +"I'm sorry, children," she said. "I should not have let you touch my hat. It is too dangerous. It is not a toy. It is a secret. You must not tell anyone about it. Promise me." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were sorry too. They did not mean to cause trouble. They just wanted to have fun. + +They gave the woman a hug. They said goodbye. They went back to their parents. They did not tell them about the hat. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not want to see the hat again. They decided to play with something else. Something normal. Something safe. +Tim and Sam are friends who like to play outside. They have a lot of equipment, like balls, bikes, and scooters. They keep their equipment in a big shed in Tim's backyard. The shed has a lock, and only Tim's dad has the key. + +One day, Tim and Sam want to play with their bikes, but Tim's dad is not home. They go to the shed and try to open the lock, but it is too tight. They pull and push, but nothing happens. + +"Let me try," Sam says. He takes the lock and shakes it hard. He hears a click. He has unlocked the lock! + +"Wow, you did it!" Tim says. He opens the shed and sees their bikes. They are shiny and new. He takes his bike and Sam takes his. They put on their helmets and ride away. + +They have a lot of fun, riding fast and doing tricks. They are happy that Sam unlocked the lock. They are good friends who share their equipment. +Anna and Ben are small kids who like to play outside. One day, they set up a tent in the backyard with a blanket and some sticks. They pretend they are camping in the woods and have a picnic with their toys. + +"Look, Ben, I have a sandwich for you," Anna says, handing him a plastic slice of bread. "And I have a cup of tea for me," she says, sipping from a toy cup. + +"Thank you, Anna, this is yummy," Ben says, biting the bread. "Do you want to play a game after we eat?" + +"Sure, Ben, what game do you want to play?" Anna asks. + +"Let's play hide and seek," Ben says. "You count to ten and I will hide." + +"Okay, Ben, I will count to ten," Anna says. She closes her eyes and starts counting. "One, two, three..." + +Ben runs to find a good hiding spot. He sees a big bush behind the tent and crawls under it. He thinks Anna will not find him there. + +"Ten, ready or not, here I come!" Anna says, opening her eyes. She looks around the backyard and tries to find Ben. She sees the tent, the blanket, the sticks, and the toys, but she does not see Ben. + +"Where are you, Ben?" Anna calls. "I can't find you." + +Ben hears Anna and giggles. He thinks he is very clever and Anna will never find him. He stays very quiet under the bush. + +Anna walks around the backyard and looks behind the trees, under the chairs, and in the sandbox, but she does not see Ben. She starts to feel sad and worried. She wonders if Ben is lost or hurt. + +"Ben, where are you?" Anna cries. "Please come out, I miss you." + +Ben hears Anna cry and feels sorry. He does not want to make Anna sad or scared. He crawls out of the bush and runs to Anna. + +"Here I am, Anna, I'm sorry," Ben says, hugging her. "I was hiding under the bush. I didn't mean to make you cry." + +Anna hugs Ben back and smiles. She is happy to see him and forgives him. "It's okay, Ben, I'm glad you're safe," Anna says. "But next time, don't hide so well, okay?" + +"Okay, Anna, I won't," Ben says. "Do you want to play another game?" + +"Yes, Ben, I do," Anna says. "But let's play something else, not hide and seek." + +"Okay, Anna, let's play something else," Ben says. "How about tag?" + +"Tag, you're it!" Anna says, tapping Ben and running away. + +"Hey, no fair!" Ben says, chasing Anna. "I'll catch you!" + +They laugh and run and play until the sun sets and their mom calls them inside. They have had a fun day in the backyard. +Lila was a clever cat. She liked to move around the house and find new places to hide and play. Sometimes she would jump on the sofa, sometimes she would curl up in a basket, and sometimes she would climb on the bookshelf. + +One day, she saw a shiny red ball on the table. She wanted to play with it, so she moved closer and closer. She stretched her paw and touched the ball. It rolled off the table and bounced on the floor. Lila was happy and chased the ball. + +But her owner, Sam, was not happy. He heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw the ball on the floor and Lila next to it. He was angry and said, "Lila, you are a naughty cat! You made a mess and broke my ball. It was a gift from my friend. Go to your bed and stay there!" + +Lila felt sad and scared. She did not mean to break the ball. She just wanted to have fun. She moved away from the ball and ran to her bed. She hid under the blanket and hoped Sam would forgive her. + +After a while, Sam came to her bed. He looked at Lila and saw her big eyes and soft fur. He felt sorry and said, "Lila, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you didn't mean to break the ball. You are a clever cat and I love you. But you have to be careful and not touch things that are not yours. Do you understand?" + +Lila nodded and rubbed her head against Sam's hand. She was glad Sam was not angry anymore. She moved closer to him and purred. Sam smiled and hugged her. He said, "Let's go and find another toy for you to play with. How about this mouse?" He showed her a fuzzy mouse with a long tail. Lila liked it and moved her paw to catch it. They played together and had fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves. Lily wanted to jump in the leaves. Tom wanted to rake the leaves. Lily said, "Come on, Tom. Jumping is fun. I encourage you to try it." Tom said, "No, Lily. Raking is better. I encourage you to help me." They argued for a while. + +Then, they saw a big, ugly dog. The dog was barking and growling. It had sharp teeth and dirty fur. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to the house. But the dog was faster. It chased them and bit them. They cried and screamed. Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and yelled. She got a broom and hit the dog. The dog ran away. + +Lily and Tom were hurt. They had blood and scratches. Their mom took them to the doctor. The doctor gave them shots and bandages. He said they might get sick from the dog. He said they should not play near strange dogs. Lily and Tom were sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the leaves. They wished they had listened to their mom. They learned a hard lesson. +Anna loves to sing. She sings every day with her mom and dad. She sings in the car, in the bath, and in her bed. She wants to improve her singing. She wants to sing like the birds and the stars. + +One day, Anna sees a big poster. It says, "Sing with Sue, the best teacher in town. Learn how to improve your voice and have fun." Anna is eager to go. She asks her mom and dad if they can take her. They say yes and smile. + +Anna goes to the class with Sue. Sue is very nice and friendly. She has a big ear. She says, "I have a big ear because I listen very well. Listening is important for singing. You have to listen to yourself and to others." She teaches Anna how to breathe, how to warm up, and how to sing different songs. Anna listens and tries her best. + +Anna has a lot of fun with Sue and the other kids. She learns new words and new sounds. She feels her voice improve. She sings louder and clearer. She sings with joy and confidence. She thanks Sue and gives her a hug. + +Anna goes home with her mom and dad. They are very proud of her. They say, "You did a great job, Anna. You improved your singing a lot. You have a beautiful voice." Anna smiles and sings all the way home. She sings like the birds and the stars. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play soccer. They had a goal to score many goals and win the game. They practiced every day and had fun. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Max. He said he was very good at soccer and wanted to play with them. Lily and Tom said yes and let him join their team. + +But Max was not nice. He did not pass the ball to Lily and Tom. He only wanted to score by himself. He said they were bad and ignorant. He said he did not believe they could play soccer. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They did not like Max. They wanted to play as a team and have fun. They decided to talk to Max. + +"Max, why are you so mean?" Lily asked. "We are your friends. We want to play with you. But you do not share the ball. You do not help us. You do not believe in us." + +Max looked at Lily and Tom. He felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said he was sorry. He said he was not used to playing with others. He said he wanted to learn and be a good friend. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They forgave Max. They said they would teach him how to play as a team. They said they believed in him. They said they had a goal to have fun and score many goals together. + +They hugged and went back to the game. They played with joy and respect. They scored many goals and cheered for each other. They became good friends. They learned that soccer was more fun when they believed in themselves and in their friends. +Tom and Sue were playing pirates on the beach. They had a big stick for a sword and a red scarf for a flag. They saw a big metal thing in the water. It looked like a hook. + +"Look, Sue, it's an anchor!" Tom said. "Maybe it's from an ancient pirate ship. Let's go and see." + +They ran to the water and swam to the anchor. It was very heavy and rusty. They tried to pull it out, but it was stuck in the sand. + +"Maybe there's treasure under it," Sue said. "Let's dig around it." + +They lay on their bellies and used their hands to dig. They made a big hole in the sand. They did not see the big wave coming. + +The wave crashed over them and filled the hole with water. The anchor moved and fell on top of them. They could not breathe. They could not scream. They could not get out. + +Nobody saw them. Nobody heard them. Nobody helped them. + +They were gone. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with puzzles. They had many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. One day, they found a new puzzle in the toy box. It was a big puzzle with a picture of a castle. + +"Let's solve this puzzle!" Lily said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Tom said. "I like castles!" + +They took out the puzzle pieces and started to put them together. They found the corners and the edges first. Then they looked for the colors and shapes that matched. They worked hard and had fun. + +But when they were almost done, they saw that one piece was missing. It was the piece that had the door of the castle. They looked everywhere, but they could not find it. + +"Where is the piece?" Lily asked. "We need it to finish the puzzle!" + +"I don't know!" Tom said. "Maybe it fell on the floor!" + +They searched under the table, behind the sofa, and in the toy box. But they still could not find the piece. + +"Maybe someone took it!" Lily said. "Maybe it was Ben!" + +Ben was Lily's big brother. He was mean and liked to tease them. He sometimes took their toys and hid them. + +"Let's go and ask him!" Tom said. "Maybe he has it in his room!" + +They ran to Ben's room and knocked on the door. Ben opened it and saw them. + +"What do you want?" he asked. "Go away!" + +"We want our puzzle piece!" Lily said. "Did you take it?" + +"No, I didn't!" Ben said. "Why would I want your stupid puzzle?" + +"Yes, you did!" Tom said. "You always take our things!" + +"Prove it!" Ben said. "Show me the piece!" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not have the piece. They did not know what to do. + +Ben laughed and slammed the door in their faces. He locked it and said, "Too bad! You can't solve your puzzle now!" + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They went back to their puzzle and saw the empty space. They tried to rub the edges of the other pieces, but they did not fit. They gave up and put the puzzle away. They did not want to play anymore. + +They did not know that Ben had lied. He had taken the piece and put it in his pocket. He wanted to make them unhappy. He did not care about their puzzle. He only cared about himself. + +He took out the piece and looked at it. He thought it was boring. He decided to throw it away. He opened his window and tossed it outside. It landed on the grass and was soon covered by dirt. + +He did not see the bird that was watching him. The bird was hungry and curious. It flew down and picked up the piece. It thought it was food. It bit it and tasted it. It was bitter and hard. It did not like it. It spat it out and flew away. + +The piece was lost forever. Lily and Tom never solved their puzzle. They never played with Ben again. They were not friends anymore. They were sad. The end. +Tim and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat a sandwich. Mom made them a great sandwich with cheese and ham. She cut it in half and gave one to Tim and one to Sue. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they said. They took their sandwiches and went to the backyard. They sat on the grass and started to eat. + +But then a big dog came. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. He saw the sandwiches and wanted them. He ran to Tim and Sue and barked loud. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim said. He tried to hold his sandwich, but the dog was stronger. He bit the sandwich and took it from Tim. Tim was sad and scared. He cried. + +"Mom, help!" Sue said. She wanted to help Tim, but she was afraid of the dog too. She held her sandwich tight, but the dog saw it. He jumped on Sue and knocked her down. He bit her sandwich and took it from Sue. Sue was hurt and scared. She cried too. + +Mom heard the cries and came to the backyard. She saw the dog and the children. She was angry and worried. She shouted at the dog and threw a stick at him. The dog was scared of Mom. He ran away with the sandwiches. + +Mom hugged Tim and Sue and took them inside. She cleaned their wounds and gave them a hug. She said she was sorry and that she would make them another sandwich. + +But Tim and Sue did not want another sandwich. They were not hungry anymore. They were sad and mad. They frowned and said they hated the dog. They wished the dog would go away and never come back. They did not have a great day. They had a bad day. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their blocks. They made houses, towers, bridges and cars with them. Sometimes they put stickers on their blocks to make them look more fun. They had stickers of animals, fruits, stars and letters. + +One day, they found a new sticker in their box. It was a red circle with a line across it. They did not know what it was. "What is this?" Tom asked Lily. "I don't know. Maybe it is a symbol," Lily said. "A symbol of what?" Tom wondered. "Maybe it is a symbol of no. Like when Mom says no to more candy," Lily guessed. + +They decided to try it out. They put the sticker on a block and showed it to their cat, Max. "Do you want this, Max?" Tom asked. Max sniffed the block and tried to bite it. Tom and Lily shook their heads and showed him the sticker. "No, Max. This is a no symbol. You can't have this," they said. Max looked confused and walked away. + +Tom and Lily thought the sticker was very useful. They put it on things they did not want to share, like their favorite toys, books and snacks. They showed it to each other when they did not want to play the same game. They even showed it to Mom when she asked them to clean up their mess. "No, Mom. This is a no symbol. We don't want to work," they said. + +Mom was not jolly. She did not like the sticker or the way Tom and Lily used it. She took the sticker away and threw it in the trash. She told them that they had to work and share and be nice. She gave them a different sticker instead. It was a green circle with a check mark on it. She said it was a yes symbol. It meant that they agreed, liked or wanted something. + +Tom and Lily did not like the yes symbol. They thought it was boring and silly. They did not want to say yes to everything. They missed their no symbol. They looked for it in the trash, but they could not find it. They were sad and sorry. They wished they had not been so mean with their no symbol. They learned that symbols can be powerful, but they have to be used with care. +Sara and Ben are playing in the living room. They see a cable on the floor. It is old and has many colors. + +"What is this?" Sara asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is for the TV," Ben says. + +They pick up the cable and try to plug it into the TV. But it does not fit. They try to plug it into the lamp, the radio, and the fan. But it does not fit anywhere. + +"Where does it go?" Sara asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mom," Ben says. + +They run to the kitchen, where Mom is making cookies. They show her the cable. + +"Mom, what is this?" Sara asks. + +Mom smiles and takes the cable from them. + +"This is an old cable for the computer. We don't use it anymore. It is not for the TV, or the lamp, or the radio, or the fan. It is for the trash," Mom says. + +She throws the cable in the trash can. + +"Can we have a cookie?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, you can have a cookie. But first, wash your hands. You don't want to get dirt from the old cable on your cookie," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben wash their hands and eat a cookie. They forget about the old cable. They are happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to catch some bugs. They had a plan. They found a big jar with a lid. They poked some holes in the lid. They went to the garden. + +They saw many bugs in the garden. They saw ants, bees, butterflies, and ladybugs. They ran after the bugs with the jar. They tried to catch them. But the bugs were fast and flew away. + +"Look, there is a big spider!" Tom said. He pointed to a web on a bush. "Let's catch it!" + +Lily was scared of spiders. She did not want to catch it. She said, "No, Tom, spiders are scary. They can bite. Let's catch something else." + +Tom did not listen. He wanted to catch the spider. He went to the bush with the jar. He tried to scoop the spider with the jar. But the spider was clever. It jumped out of the web and ran away. + +Tom was sad. He dropped the jar. The jar broke. It made a loud noise. Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Tom. We can find another jar. We can catch other bugs. Let's go home. It's getting cold." +Ella loved to play with her toy train. It was shiny and red and had a copper bell that made a loud sound. She liked to pretend that she was the driver and that she had to rescue people from danger. + +One day, she saw an elderly cat on the fence outside her window.

She says, "Please, Ben, can I play with the truck? We can share it. It is more fun to play together." + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Mia, you cannot play with the truck. You are a girl.

And boys can play with dolls. You are teasing me. You are not a good friend." + +Ben laughs. He says, "I am not teasing you. I am telling you the truth. You are silly, Mia. You do not know anything. I am lucky. I have the best truck ever. You have nothing." + +Mia cries. She runs to her mom. She tells her what Ben said. Her mom hugs her. She says, "Do not listen to Ben, Mia. He is wrong.

She hugs them and says. + +"I know you didn't mean to do anything bad. But you have to be careful with things you don't know. Guns are not for children. They are for grown-ups. And even grown-ups have to use them wisely. Do you understand?" she says. + +Tom and Sam nod. They understand. They say they love Mom. Mom says she loves them too. She tells them to play with their carts, but not to make too much noise. She goes back to the kitchen. + +Tom and Sam play with their carts quietly. They don't want to make Mom angry again.
